The improvement in business con-
ditions among the manufacturers of
the country is pointed out in recent
dispatch from Pittsburg, that great
center of the manufacturing industry,
which says: president McKinley's
administration has resulted in a great
increase of prosperity for Pittsburg
and the State. Looking back over
the past year there has been steady
and unbroken advance in the amount
of work for mills and factories of all
kinds. There are few idle men in
the manufacturing communities and

banana In : New Role.

The banana now appears in a new
role, this time as the best food posi-
BILE for typhoid patient. The dis
covery halls from St. Louis, and the
discoverer, DR.. Ussery, gives this ex-
PLANTATION for his faith in the banana:
In typhoid fever, the lining membrane
Of the small intestines becomes in
tensely inflamed and engorged, having
a tendency to slough away in spots,
leaving ulcers Of all sizes and condi-
tons, liable at any moment to perfor-
ate the intestines. This being the
case, solid or irritating foods should
be avoided as extremely dangerous.
The banana, however. though excep-
tionally nutritious, containing some 95
per cent OF nutrition, which is at once
absorbed, possesses scarcely any waste
to irritate the ulcers.

A HIGHBINDER CHIEF
CHINATOWN RlDS ITSELF OF AN
ARTIST IN ASSASSINATION,

Leader OF San Franchises Ratchet Men.
Shot to Death-Prosoribsd MongoliAns

With the death Of Loo Fook Yueng,
In San Francisco, the other day, there
passed away the king Of the High
binders. He had reigned for less
than year, but previous to his cleo
,tion as successor to Little Pete" he
had long been regarded in Chinatown
as leader In all the crimes of the
Highbinders. Fung Ching, or as he
was more commonly known, Little
Pete" was probably the most infam-
Gus Chinaman in America. Loo Fook
Yueng was his pupil, and when Lit
tie Pete" was murdered by rival
Highbinders last January, 1t was ma
tural that he should succeed his mas
ter. Little Pete" was assassinated In
cold blood while seated in barbers
chair, having his queue plated. Loo
Fook Yueng met his death at the
hands of man whom he had attempt
ed to kill.
Cinnamon are not given to talking
about their affairs. Although the
shooting occurred on Friday, 1t was
hot until Sunday that the rumors
reached police headquarters. 1t was
said that Loo Fook Yueng had enter
ed the house OF merchant named
Charley Ngow, at No. IL Prospect
place, bent upon murder. By some
misohance he only succeeded in
wounding his victim, who turned and
shot him In the breast. Loo Fook
Yueng escaped, only to die alone in a
garnet, concealed from the police.
Morgue officials and police made a
thorough search Of all the undertake
Ing houses in Chinatown, and close
watch was kept on all cemeteries,
The building of the Tsuey Sing tong"
at No. 1905 Dupont street, was among
the first places searched by the police,
but all knowledge of the whereabouts
Of Loo Fook Yueng was denied. For
three days the officials were kept busy
running out false clews.
Policemen T. F. Burke and ]. CAL

an upper room. they found the body Of
the dead chief. He was lying on q
bed, fully dressed, with his hand over

An Insurgent Success.

Havana, April 3, by way of Key
West. While the Spanlards in Ha-
vana are so fierce in their war demon-
STATIONS against the United States,
and dream of great victories by land
and sea against the Yankees, their
own army has been placed in very
difficult position by the Cubans in the
East.
Gen. Pando has been badly defeat
ed by the Cubans during seven days
of constant fighting in Puerto Prn-
cipe, and compelled to retreat from
Ciego de Avila to Vertientes, on the
southers coast of that province. AT
Veltlentes he sought the protection of
the forts aud of the Spanish gun
boats, which, opening fire upon the
pursuing forces of the Cubans, were
abba to save Gen. Pando's column
from uttef destruc ion.

Puerto Padre, 5000 men.
With these 10000 regulars Pand

The Spanish report on the loss of
the Maine is really a ridiculous docu-
ment. The Spanish naval officers at
Havana made only the barest pretense
of trying to get the evidence of the SUR
vivors as to the conditions existing on
the. Maine Immediately before the ex.
plosion. Their report was simply made
to order, while ours represents the
truthful re?ult OF exhaustive investiga

One johnson, a republican of In
diana, spoke in the House the other
day deprecsting war. 1t was q
speech that had counterpart only in
1861 and the speakers then were re-
tired to private life and branded as
copper heads, Johnson fares better
in some quarters, for the present
The Brattleboro Phoenix endorses
the speech and says:
"Let the Vermont delegation in
Congress take note that to this sent
ment the people of their staterespond
with a fervent "Amen p
This is an outrageous insult to the
patriotic citizens of Vermont. May
be there are some of that kind in
Brattleboro but we don't believe there
is, outside of the Phoenix office, and
we are certain there are none in this
locality. Nine-tenths of the people
in Vermont, we believe, are convin-
ced that the Maine was blown NJ
through a Spanish conspiracy and
have no patience with an attempt to
settle it by soft soap diplomacy
don't believe it can be settled that
way.
In wide contrast with the contem-
porary's utterance comes the follow
ing from Congressman Grout as re.
ported by the New York Herald:
am in favor of swift and terrible ven
geance upon Spain. Up to the present
time have been opposed to any interven
ton by force in Cuba, and / was one OF
the few republicans who voted agains

was presented to the House.
Now l am ready to use our army ant
navy to drive the Spanish flag from tn
island of Cuba, and | will not only fol
low, but am prepared to lead in move
merit to authorize the president to teacl
the Spanish government that she canno
insult this nation with impunity and hid
behind the cloak of diplomacy. The A
merican people are infiamed beyond en-
durance by the methods she has employee
in dealing with the Cubans, and the de
struction of the Maine is an additional
cause for immediate resort to force.
1t will not do to treat the blowing u
of our battleship and the killing of GU
gallant sailors as simply Il distressing IN
cident of the Cuban situation. The de
struction of the Maine has done more t
fire the American heart than all the Ion
list of cruelties practiced upon the suffer
ing in Cuba. The Cuban question wa
quite forgotten until the De Lomo lette
appeared, followed by the blowing up Q
the Maine in the harbor of Havana. Prio
to that time we had quite forgotten tn
struggle for independence going on i
| that island. The attention of Congress
and the country was fixed for the tim
being on the question of anneXing TIL
Hawaiian islands.
Close on the heels Of the De LONE le
ter came the blowing up of the Maine
and however strong may have been OF
feeling OF sympathy for the destitut
Cubans, it paled into insignificance con
pared with the universal feeling of n
sentiment and revenge which the dastar1

In view of the nature of the report,
and accompanying documents, it was a
wise precaution on the part of the Pres

promise there might have been an ex.

Senate can be endorsed by every
American in the land, not including
latter-day coppcrheads;
