NICE QUESTIONS FOLLOW
 THE EXPANSION POLICY
British Claims for Redress in Hawaii
 Must First Receive Consideration

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The United States Government is being called upon to face some questions of interest re- sulting from the expansion policy. The British Government, some time before the annexation of Hawaii to the United States, filed with Hawaii number of claims for redress for the i'll treatment and illegal confinement of British sub jects involved in the revolutionary movement which overthrow the Queen These amount to several hundred thou sand dollars in the aggregate, and the question is the Hawaiian Government having failed to settle them, whether the United States Government does not inherit the liability. The claims are just such as were filed by the late Sec cretary Gresham against the Hawaiian Government in behalf of a number of alleged American citizens, most of whom afterward turned cut to be aliens. None of our claims were pressed, but they formed the founda- tion for the British claims.
 Another question of more importance is the determination of the status of our newly acquired citizens or sub jects. Already Chinaman by birth, but a Philippine by citizenship, has ap- piled for recognition as an American citizen. Another Chinaman in Hawaii wants passport showing he is citi- zen of the United States. The annexa- ton law prohibits the coming into the limits of the United States of Chinese persons from Hawaii, but the constitu-

Wrecks the Building and Fatally In-
 lures Three Men.

DENVER, Dec. "A special to the News from Montrose, Colo, says: A frightful accident occurred yesterday at the sawmill owned and operated by the Colorado Cooperative Company on the mesa east of Sheep Creek and about sixty-fve miles east from Montrose, whereby three men have lost their lives Word was brought to town last night by a young man named Rowan, who came for medical assistance. His story is to the effect that about 10 o'clock on the morning of December 1, the mill being under operation, terrific ex- plosion occurred, blowing up the boiler and completely wrecking the mill. The survivors immediately set to work to rescue the missing members of the lumber crew, who were held down by the wreck of the mill. The dead bodies of c. c. Dunn and Miner Dunn, father and son., were discovered, while Ed Whitney. the engineer, was taken out in a dying condition.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

Every won1an should realize that her health is like bank account. At the out set she has so much deposited to her credit in the bank of health. If she draws out more than she puts i'll she will soon over- draw her account An over-drawn account in the bank of health means one of two things, a life of hopeless suffering or an early death.
 The woman who neglects her health in womanly way is making big drafts on her account with the bank of health and will soon be physical bankrupt. Disorders of this description wreck a woman's general health quicker than anything else in the world. They soon transform a healthy, happy, amiable woman into a weak, sickly, fretful and Respondent invalid. They ut terly unfit woman for wifehood or mother hood For all disorders of this nature Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in maternity, giving them health, strength, vigor and elasticity. 1t relieves pain, allays inflammation, checks facilitating drains, and quickly subdues all other symp- toms. It at once stops the dragging pains and sinking spells, the nervousness, the digestive disturbances and other complica- tions that arise from the same cause Taken during the months of expectant maternity, 1t banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby's advent easy and almost pain less. It insures the newcomers health and a plentiful supply of nourishment Thousands of women have testified to it's marvellous merits. An honest dealer will not suggest an inferior substitute for the sake of extra profit.

REGULARS WILL SOON
 BE SENT TO MANILA
At Least six Infantry and One Ar tillery Regiment to Relieve
 the Volunteers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: There is reason to believe that the War Department is considering the advisability of immediately reinforcing General Otis in Manila by at least six regiments of infantry and one regi- ment of artillery. The troops will be of the regular establishment, and if the situation permits may take the place of volunteer regiments now there.
 The War Department is preparing bill of its own for the reorganization and increase of the army. This bill IS the result of a conference held few days ago by Secretary Alger, Senator Proctor of the Senate Military Commit tee and Chairman Hull of the House Military Committee.
 The bill will provide that the regular army shall consist of 100000 men, and it is understood that authority will be given the President to enlist certain number of natives of Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines for ser vice in their respective countries, such troops to be officered by Americans.

SAN JOSE GETS THE
 NEXT CONVENTION
Fruit-Growers Decide to Meet in the Garden City in Ninety
 Nine

FRESNO, Dec. 2.-At the Fruit growers State convention to-day further time was allowed a committee for a con- ference between the manufacturers and university authorities for the framing of legislation to regulate the sale of com mercial fertilizers.
 W. N. Rawley submitted a list of sev- enteen of the principal commission mer- chants and receivers of fruits and fruit products in San Francisco, who have ex- pressed their recognition of the value of state inspection and a quarantine law for fresh fruit, particularly apples and pears.
 M. Theo. Kearny read a paper on the ralSln industry, showing how through the operation of combine, there has al ready been sold this year PA of the 5000 car car lot crop, and the market has taken up 10OO more carried over from 1897. The East ern market has been steady at highest prices, with no stocks at distributing points. The. trade freely bought on the guarantee that prices will be kept up. Sales with few exceptions have been made for cash before shipment. Shortly after delivery an advance of cents per pound mas been made, an additional l cent is being paid on certain grades, with more to come at the final eXportation, so that the net result for the whole crop will equal about 3A cents per pound in the sweat poX, While last year an average net re- turn or la4 cents per pound was not real ized. Under makeshift plan and a cost " deal with commercial packers over s1 more has been realized to raisin-growers this year than they could possibly have secured for their crops without this or ganiZation.
 The scheme of pooling and it's applica- ton to the fruit industry was discussed. ana San Jose was chosen as the place for the convention of 1S99
 B. E. Hutchinson of this county then offered resolutions indorsing the work of the horticultural commissions of the vari- ouS counties and recommending that no change be made in the present law in so far as 1t affects the commissioners. Some opposition developed, John S. Dore of this county declaring the law to be an ex- travagant one, but the resolutions were adopted.
 G. P. Hall of San Diego gave an inter- esting talk on Methods in Citrus Fruit Culture. He considered at length the matter of trimming the trees, and favored training the branches to grow in a hori- Zontal instead of a perpendicular course When limbs grow upward they produce more wood than fruit. The matter of steaming lemons to bring out the color and make the skin elastic was discussed by the speaker. Oranges were subjected to the same process, he was sorry to saw for it did not improve them.
 The olive industry was next considered President Cooper and Secretary lelong taking part in the discussion Reference was made to the failure of the crop this year, but no definite cause could be as- signed therefor. A technical discussion on the pollnation of fruits followed, after which resolutions thanking the citizens of Fresno and the Southern Pacific Company for courtesies extended were adopted The convention adjourned sine die.

FOR A NATIONAL
 NAVAL MILITIA
Delegates From Many States Discuss the Plans tor the Or
 Canizatiou

ganization.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ?. - The fourth annual meeting of the Associa- tion of Naval Militia of the United States was held here to-day on board the old receiving ship St. Louis, rep resentatiVes being present from Flor ida, California Georgia, Illinois. Loui- siana, Ohio. Maryland, Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Missouri and other States.
 The meeting was one of national inn portance, on account of the movement now on foot looking toward the forma- tion of a national naval militia. To- days session was given to a general discussion of the advisability of form ing a naval reserve of a national char acter. It appeared to be the opinion of all those participating in the debate that such step would be a move in the right direction, and about the only point on which there seemed to be a difference was whether or not State naval militias should be dispensed with.
 Captain John Bartlett, U. S. N, who had charge of the naval militia during the war, favored the continuation of the State militia as stepping stone to higher organization, to be known as the National Naval Reserve. He held that the State militia could be made valuable training school and give to the National Reserve men of eXpert- ence.
 Lieutenant H. H. Sutherland, U. S.. N, gave his views as outlined in his recent report and held that the men composing the National Reserve should be trained from the start in that body and under its regulations exactly as is done in the regular navy.

quired to acquire the municipal water

system.
 This summary includes the important points of a document which, in its en- tirety, comprises about 10000 words.
 There is no organized opposition to the adoption of the charter. Some citi- zens oppose it, however, on the ground that it gives to the Mayor autocratic powers There are others who. do not favor it for the reason that they are opposed to the initiative and referen- dunn clause. On the other hand, some people will vote for the charter simply because it contains that one clause.
 Among those engaged in the whole sale and retail liquor traffic there IS some opposition to the charter for the reason that the number of saloons to be licensed in the community is to be re- stricted.
 The school teachers and their friends are actively supporting the charter for the reason that it provides for some ad- mirable reforms in the School Depart ment.
 The general feeling among those who have given the matter any study IS that the new charter will be adopted, as 1t requires only majority vote.
