THE GREATEST DISCOVERY YET

Chief, SAYS: ave won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DIR. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has q
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

NEW CAMPING GROUND.
The Bay District Race Track Ground Will AccommO-
 date 10000 Troops.

All the available ground at the Presidio has been taken up and hereafter all in coming troops will camp on the grounds of the old Bay District race track. This tract of land, which has been divided into blocks, and each block enclosed with three-board fence three feet high, is an ideal camping ground. It is easily ac- cessible by the street car lines and the sanitary conditions could not be better. The soil is sandy and readily absorbs all rain and moisture, thus rendering the camp dry and healthy. The Spring Valley Water Company yesterday began the lay ing of water pipes throughout the tract and will have the work completed inside of three days The pipe is eight inches in diameter and the first lnStallment con- sists of 1900 feet, running from First ave nue to Fifth avenue, and the balance will be laid as rapidly the demand re- quires, so that there will be an ample sup ply of water.
 The selection of this camping ground was first made by Major Field, adjutant general of the Department of California, and Lieutenant Neall of the Fourth Cav airy, who has been given charge of the location, arrangement of and policing of camps and the preservation of order therein. General Merriam, upon viewing the ground. at once approved their choice, which was one of excellent judgment. The Bay District camp is much superior in every way to any space left at the Presidio, where the supply of water had been exhausted for the extra territory needed.

OTIS ON THE GROUND.
The General Holds an Informal Inspection of the Troops
 in Camp

General E. s. Otis, U. S. A, accom- panied by Major Moore, Adjutant General Sehon and Lieutenant c. L. Potter, En- gineer Corps, U. S. A., drove out to the Presidio yesterday afternoon for the pur- pose of informally inspecting the camp and taking look at the troops. General Otis visited the various headquarters of the different ~egimental commands in or der to make inquiries regarding their present supplies and equipments. His visit was a purely informal one, ana was not attended with any ceremonies.
 There has been an attempted scare in camp caused by the circulation or reports that there were several cases of diph- theria in the brigade hospital, the men being members of the First Regiment. The rumor is most indignantly denied by There are several cases in the brigade hospital of tonsilitis, but absolutely no diphtheria. One private in Company or the Oregon Volunteers has case or measles, but he contracted them before he came here. He has been isolated and there is no danger of an epidemic.
 The colors donated by the San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce to the First Regiment will be presented at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon by Hugh Craig, the presi- ceived by Colonel Smith on behalf of the regiment and be turned over to B Com pany.
 The cadets of the. Mount Tamalpais Military Academy, sixty strong, under the command of Captain Hogg, visited the camp yesterday The boys made most soldierly appearance, and were greatly interested with all they saw. Among the cadets was Private Ye. son of Minister Ye, who has charge of for eign affairs for his nation at korea and Private Gutierrez, son of the President of Salvador
 Father McKinnon performed his first duty yesterday as chaplain of the First, when he married Private w. c. Walsh of Company H to Miss Elizabeth Greg gins.

TO COMMAND THE PEKING.
Commander w. c. Gibson, U. S.. N., Will Retain the Officers
 of the Vessel

Commander William c. Gibson of the United States navy is in the city to take command of the City of Peking, which has been chartered to transport troops to the Philippine Islands.
 When asked whether the captain and the other officers of the vessel were to be retained on board he answered emphatic ally in the affirmative. He said: 'All the present officers of the ship are to be re- tained and will fill their respective offices during the trip. I go as a representative of the United States navy, and the orders from the authorities will be given to the captain of the vessel through me. The City of Picking has simply been chartered for this trip, and when the Government is through with her, which will probably be after the troops are landed in the Phil ippines, she will immediately be turned over to the owners.
 The rumor that Engineer Leopold of tfe Mohican is to be placed in charge or the engines of the Picking is entirely un- founded. He is going with us, but merely signed to duty on some of the vessels Of the Asiatic squadron. I cannot say when we will leave, as 1 know no more than outsiders on that point but l presume 1t will be the latter part of this week. We have in the neghborhood of 1900 men to transport
 Commander Gibson has for the past year and a half been in command of the United States training ship Adams, which that time. He has been at Mare Island since February, and May is the date on his orders to take command of the City of Peking

More Talk Of Charters.

The report that the China and City of Para were to be chartered by the Gov ernment was again in circulation along the water front yesterday; but both MT. Center and MT. Schwerin denied that there was any truth in it. The City of Para was offered to the Government some time ago, and she was refused The China was inspected. and was inspected a second time, but the officials of the company say that is as far as it went. The China is due here from Hongkong on the 18th inst, and the Para is due from the south coast in the early part of June. Both would make good transport is emphatically denied that there have been any negotiations for their charter or purchase by the Government.

The Consul further reports.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1897, there were exported from these isl- ands to the United States and Great Brit bale), of which 13S,7s2 bales went to the United States and only S,1O6 bales to Great Britain. During the year 1897 there from the Philippines to Continental Europe of 1s,741 bales; to Australia, 2192 bales; to China, 28 bales; to Japan, 2628 bales; and to the United States. 1S3 ,Ss6 while to Great Britain there was a de- crease of 22, ,34S bales. Thus, of increased shipments from the Philippines, those to the United States were 544 per cent greater than to all other countries com bined. Of the total exports of hemp from the Philippines for the ten years ended 1S9 amounting to 6,o2S ,965 bales (914 ,055 tons), fl per cent went to the United States.
 During the same years the Philippine Islands exported to the United States and Europe 1,5S2 ,904 tons of sugar, of which S75, ,150 tons went to the United States, 666 .391 tons to Great Britain and 41 ,362 tons to Continental Europe; showing that of the total exports more than 55 per cent went to the United States
 At the current values in New York of hemp (4 cents per poundl and of raw of these two products alone from these islands to the United States, during the ten years under review, amounted to SS9, ,263, 722 80, or an average of nearly sS 1926 ,372 per year.
 From these statistics 1t will be seen that the general trend of Philippine trade has been of late toward the United States. Nearly the whole of the increase of commerce has been with us There is. however, a striking exception to this rule to be found in the sugar trade In that staple the decline of Philippine exports to this country has been extraordinary. In 1889 we import ed from the Philippine group 2,135, AS piculs GAO pounds) of sugar, and from that point the importation slowly de- clined until 1896, when we imported l. 305, 1882 piculs. In the succeeding year the importation dropped suddenly to 342, $40 piculs. This decline in the sugar imports shows to what extent home production Is now supplying American needs and points to the near approach of a time when we shall not have to
