Through the efforts of Dr. Frank H. Booth of Chicago, Alaska is to have a hospital service. The first hospital in the territory has been erected in Skag- uay, and this is to be one of chain of such institutions from Seattle to Circle City. Contracts have been let for build ings at Juneau and Victoria. Other places selected are Lake Bennett, White Horse Rapids. Stewart River, Dawson City and Circle City, and the service will be further extended as gold dis coveries lead to the creation of new settlements. About 10 per cent. of the patients thus far treated are charity cases. It is intended to accept any sick person, regardless of his ability to pay, but the enterprise is, nevertheless, 8 commercial one. It depends for its support on the annual membership fee of SIP, which entities the member to free treatment, and for the growth in membership it relies upon the natural fear entertained by people of being sick and unattended in a new Country.

According to the report of our consul at Shanghai, there was exported from China during the last year 26,705,733 pounds of firecrackers. There are no large manufactures of this aggravat- ing explosive. The crackers are all made in small houses and in the shops where they are sold. Tn the latter places the proprietor of the shop, his wives and children do the work. The prices are not uniform. In some ports a tael, or sixty-two cents, will buy 5000 firecrackers of the ordinary size; at others 10000 crackers will be sold for the same amount; at Chung King, where they are cheapest, the price is one tael for 15.00O. It is a good thing for quietly disposed people in this coun- try that importers, jobbers and retail CTS severally multiply these prices, and thereby keep the consumption within bounds.

regiments does not decrease, and the men
are anxiously waiting for the final orders

as the men are moved TO a healthier loca-
ton the sickness will decrease at once. Dur
ing the hot summer months of June and

were filled up with malaria. About 250 men

THOROUGHFARE, Va, Camp of the
nd-fifty-ninth Indiana Volun-
teers, Aug. 20--Quartermaster Compton dis
tributed about $50 pairs of shoes Thursday
among the men of the regiment, and the
barefooted militiaman'' is thing of the
past in the Observation-Disclosures In
addition to this Major Grant came in yes
terday and circulated about $4,000 in the
regiment. The men are busy specializing
as to the time which will elapse until they
are back in Indiana again. The announce
n1ent that Colonel Durbin's regiment will go
to Cuba as the only representative of In
diana does not awaken any feeling of jeal-
Ousy in the ranks. The men of the One-hun-
dred-and-tifty-nin have found soldering
anything but a bed of roses and they will
receive the order to go home cheerfully.
Should it be decided to hold the regiment in
the service it is safe to bet that the One
hundred-and-fifty- will do it's whole
duty by the government, no matter how I'M
pleasant it may be. There are many Off
GERS and some of the men who have ex-
pressed willingness to continue in the
service, but a majority is ready to go home
as the prospect for service is over.

morning. The impression prevails that the
new camp will only accommodate one divi-

up for the purpose. Word has also been
received that the tents of the One-hundred-
and-fifty-ninth are all up at the new camp
and the only delay is caused by scarcity of
water.
The exposure and short rations of the last
two weeks has sent the sick list upward
again. There will be much sickness for some
time to come. Many of the men have been
sent back to the Second Division hospital
ia order to keep them with proper care
while the division is getting into camp. The

ENFORCING NEUTRALITY LAWS.
The zafro Not Permitted at Hong
Kong Over Twenty-FOur Hours.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. pa spe-
cial from HongKong says: Consul General
Wildm9n has requested of the Hong-Kong
authorities permission for the ships of the
American fleet now at Manila to be allowed
to dock and repair. This question presents
such serious complications that it had to be
submitted to the British government for an
answer. Meanwhile the harbor police or
dered the gunboat Zafiro, which arrived
here with dispatches from General Merritt
and Admiral Dewey, to leave British waters
within twenty-four hours. The Governor is
much distressed at the situation
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The Navy De-
partment authorities discount the signiti-
canoe given the report of the enforcement
of the neutrality laws at Hong-Kong by
ordering the Zafiro from the harbor and de-
ferring permission for the American fleet
to dock there. Admiral Dewey recently re-
ceived orders from Acting Secretary Allen
to report on his plans for docking and re-
pairing the ships of his fleet The cable
gram sent him on this subject gave only in
structions to make an inquiry as to the
most available means fer attending to the
repairs, which are much needed and to re-
port as early as possible. Admiral Dewey
undoubtedly Immediately set about nego-
lldtlHS " SSCuT6 d suitable place W0ero tie
work could be executed, and the request 10
the authorities at Hong-Kong for permits
sion probably followed Immediately ami
doubtless was carried on the last trip of the
Zafiro. The action of the British harbor
police al Hong Kong in ordering the Zafiro
to leave British waters within twenty-four
hours is an action strictly in accordance
with the spirit and terms of the neutrality
laws. This is the view taken at the Navy
Department, whose officials say the Amer
lean dispatch boat. since the inception of
hostilities, never has remained in port longer
than that period Permission to remain
longer than that time would be breach of
neutrality and action against which, in
the case of Spanish vessels al certain other
points in western waters, this government
has protested.
The signing of a protocol, in the view of
the naval authorities, would not alter the
circumstances of the case, as in the absence
of treaty of peace or some special ar
rangements by which the time of remain
ing in port could be extended without breach
of neutrality the neutrality restrictions op-
crate to the same extent as in time of ac-
tual warfare

Archbishop Ireland Discusses the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Archbishop Ire
land, who has been in the city for several
days left tonight During his stay he has
had several conferences with President Nc
Kinley with whom his relations are OF the
most cordial character. The archbishop has
declined to discuss the significance of his
calls upon the President, but it has been
generally understood that he was acting IN
the interest of the Catholic Church as TO
the protection to be given it in our new pos
sessions. Archbishop Ireland dismisses as
without foundation the statements that
church matters are liable to cause dissen-
sions. To the Associated Press tonight he
made the statements which follow:
1.-THE church question in our new possess
sions offers no difficulty whatever. Two
principles are already settled by the Con-
stitution and laws of America. There win
be no union of church and state such as
established by custom or concordat in GER
tain Catholic countries of Europe. There
will be complete protection of all properties
and OF all persons With such principles
Catholics in the United States satisfied.
and Catholics in our new possessions will be
satisfied The so-called church question
need not be considered by military or peace
commissions 1t is fully regulated the mo-
ment the flag of this country is raised over
a territory. The people of our new possess
sions understand, / am sure, this matter
very well and will loyalty accept the sItua-
ton. 1t may not be very easy for them
at first to adapt themselves in all cases to
this situation. but the embarrassments felt
will be temporary. The people will soon
realize that it is their duty TO support re-
Iigion by voluntary and personal contribu-
tions. In the greater number of parishes,
moreover the church properties yield am
Pile revenue TO meet all expenses. The
church everywhere in our new possessions is
thoroughly organized; 1t wears no mission

form and the fun strength of complete or
ganization. and is well prepared 10 care Tor
