Cause of the Paris Wreck,

Falmouth, July 13.-On entering the tidal
harbor to-day the steamer Paris recently
aground on the Manacles, under the infiu-
ence of wind and tide became temporarily
unmanageable Her stern swung around
and struck the end of wooden pier upon
which large crowd had assembled. The
pier shook from end to end The crowd
became panic-stricken and made an ugly
rush for escape. Ultimately control CT
the ship was regained and she was safely
anchored.
Superintendent Aisbett of the wrecking
company gave a reporter of the associated
press a contribution of a startling nature
to the controversy as to the cause OF
wrecks on the Manacles. He said:
In bringing the Paris to Falmouth she
narrowly escaped Big ManacIe rock It
was ebb tide with northerly wind blow
ing, which would naturally send the vessel
south. but we found her getting nearer
and nearer the Manaeles, until within
400 yards of them, whereas we ought to
have been mile southwark. Things
looked queer for time, but we altered
our tactics and cleared the rock. From
what L have seen during the past six
weeks ! am confident some mysterious
current draws vessels toward the rocks.
While working on the Paris we warned
numberless vessels of the danger they
were in"

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
A Reduction in Grain Rates Is Offset by
Flour.

Washington, July 13.-The monthly
statement of the exports and imports of
the United States show that during June
the imports of merchandise into the
United States amounted to SCI. 6S6, 20S of
which $25.S 931 was free of duty. For
the year the total imports of merchandise
amounted to $685., 0773SS, of which more
than $500 0O0. 900 was free of duty. The ex-
ports of domestic merchandise during
June aggregated 1914, SOS 1872. a gain of about
s., 100000. For the year, the exports
Amounted to sl.227 .4S3, 425, a decrease from
last year of Sizes COS.
Tie gold imports during June amounted
to s3,0l5,GS decrease Of about $225 900 as
compared with June, 1898. The gold ex-
ports amounted to $20,9OS, S27 as against
$S75,529 for June 1928. For the year the
imports of gold amounted TO SIS, 954 603 and
the exports to SS7, 522, 0S6
The silver imports during June amount
ed to sl,9lT2l5 and the exports to IS, S43,-
099
The chief reduction in the value of ex-
ports during the year is in grain. of which
the supply abroad in 1888 was unusually
short The average price per busheI of
wheat exported during the fiscal year
1898 was $3.50 cents against an average of
All cents in the fiscal year just ended.
The reduction in expectation of grain is
chiefly in price, the quantity of wheat
exported being only about 10000 bushels
less than that of last year Indeed, the
reduction in wheat exports is more than
offset by the increased exports of flour,
of which the exports of 1899 are about
1900. 900 barrels in excess of those of last
year, this increase more than equaling the
reduction in the quantity of wheat ex-
ported. ....s--~

KICKS HAD NO MERIT
G. A. R. Committee Investigates
the Pension Bureau.
TALKED WITH M'KINLEY
No Foundation to the Criticisms Which
Had Been Made Against the De-
partment - New Rules
Suggested.

Washington, July 13.-The pension
inquiry here this afternoon and most of
its members left the city tonight. The
committee has been here three days,
and during most of the time has been
accompanied by Senior COMMANDMENT
Chief Johnson. Commissioner of Pen
experienced employees of the bureau
have given the most thorough cooper
action to the committee, placing them
selves and all the official files at it's
disposal.
Headed by Chairman Brown the COM
mittee called at the white house to-day
and for an hour and a half were en-
gagged in conference with President Nc
kinley. During that time they threshed
the whole pension policy, the discussion
comprehending the laws governing the
system, the rulings, both by the inter-
ior department and the pension bureau
for their execution and changes desired
for the benefit of the government and
for their pensioners. The president
paid unusual attention to the delega-
ton and gave, free expression to his
views on the subject.
Later the DOuS Ttlullltu u Ine pen
sion bureau, where they spent most of
the afternoon talking over mat tiers in
formally with the commissioner All
the old soldiers widows employed in
the office were called together to meet
the committee, before whom they
passed in line and expressed friendly
salutations. Late this afternoon a final
meeting of the committee was held in
the hotel quarters, when individual
views We're presented and a formal dis
Cussion of the report to be made.
This document will be presented at
the Philadelphia encampment of the
G. A. r. in September. In the report
Colonel johnson. the committees
spokesman, and his colleagues declined
absolutely to discuss their work or the
results of their inquiry 1t was ad-
mitted, however, that much that has
been printed concerning the action Of
the bureau has been found untrue. The
examination of the files has shown a
lack Of foundation for many complaints
that have formed the basis of criti-
cisms. 1t was learned before the COM
mittee's departure that when it arrived
here it had a memorandum of about 80
cases in which the, rulings. had been
criticised. The papers in the cases were
sent for in regular order and it is I'M
derstood disclosed substantially no
foundation for the attacks on the Off
cial action on them.

EIGHT HOUR LAW Is JUST
He Favors Compulsory Arbitration-Tes-

Committee OF the Indus

Denver July 13.--The investigation
of mining conditions in general and the
Colorado smelter trouble in particular,
was resumed to-day by the sub-com-
mittee on mining of the industrial
commission. The commission has de-
cided to go direct from Denver to
Wardner, Idaho, to investigate the

will probably not finish its labors here
before the middle of next week.
Deputy State Labor Commissioner
James T. Smith occupied the witness
chair during the forenoon to-day, the
examination being conducted by NJ.
d. Ratchford.
Mr.. Smith declared that the econ
omic effects of strikes on society at
large were good in spite of the suffer
ings entailed, but also expressed the
opinion, which apparently amazed Mr..
Ratchford who questioned his closely.
that the intelligent use of the ballot
is better than strikes"
Mr.. Smith considered the eighth
law just and favored compulsory ar
bitration. He said that on the aver
age % per cent. of the laboring people
in Colorado We're idle half the time
and that higher wages were paid here
than in any other state.
Mr.. Smith was followed by Harry
A. Lee, state commissioner of metal
liferous mines. He was very severe
in his denunciation of labor agitators
declaring that according to the inves-
tigation not per cent. of the miners
who strike do so of their own free
will. He said he did not believe in the
theory of arbitration by outside par
ties p '|-.i'

TWENTY PER CENT
OF the Volunteers in the Philippines on
the Sick List.

San Francisco. July 13.-Advices re-
ceived by the transport Newport. dated
Manila, June II, are as follows:
The volunteers are greatly debilitated
in consequence of their hard campaign
ing through three months of tropic wealth
er. Since the middle of May no volunteer
regiment has had a sick list of less than
20 per cent. Most of them at the present
date have, % per cent III and a few regi-
ments have aessrthan one-third of their
number on duty. The Nebraska regiment
has suffered the worst. 1t came in from
San Fernando few days ago with less
than 200 men in the ranks. Some of it's
companies have only two sets OF tours.
The South Dakota followed yesterday
with 275 men on duty. The Montana and
Kansas regiments at San Fernando have
not more than $50 available men each.
The morning after the Washington
troops took Morong, a week ago, only 1853
men responded TO roll call. The Wash
ington men have been engaged since
March IL in preventing the insurgent army
of the north and south from forming a
junction in the region of Laguna de Bay,
often being engaged at the same time
with the army in opposite directions.
Twentyfour of The Nebraska regiments
officers are on the sick list and the Wash
ington, Montana, Kansas and South Da-
kota show 20 or more officers in the hospi-
tails or sick in their quarters.
The losses in killed and wounded range
from 160 in the Montana regiment to $50
Nebraskans. The loss of the Kansas regi-
ment is second to that of Nebraska while
the Washington and South Dakota regi-
ments follow closely. each with losses of
about 200. The Oregon regiment also suf-
fered severely. OF the regulars, the Sd
artillery is the heaviest loser, it's kIned

Oregons viii Go Ashore.

San Francisco, July 13.-As matters
stand at an early hour this morning,
the returning Oregon troops are to be
invited ashore and given chance to
see the city, even if they are not mus
tered out here, as the most of them
desire. AS the orders stand, the troops
are to proceed with as little delay as
possible on the transports to Astoria
and to be mustered out in Oregon. But
If this order is not changed there will
be chance for the troops to parade
here, for Colonel Sommers has said
that the transports would surely be
detained here until late Friday after
noon, taking on coal and provisions.
