Lima, Peru, July 3l.-President Pierola
has opened congress.
The galleries were crowded with mem
bers of the ministry, officers of the law,
diplomats and the general public when
the presidents message was read. The
message says the relations of Peru with
other countries are perfect, that the rev.
dictionary movement is gradually sue
cumbing and that Peru has made prog
ress economically. The commercial move
ment of the year, it shows, exceeds that
OF the previous year by more than 10000
600 soils and the public treasury condi-
ton shows much improvement.
The president also announced the ac-
ceptance by Peru of the Washington
postal convention.

open "A Bank at Honolulu.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The first and
only national bank outside of the CONT
mental boundaries of the United States
is about to be established in Honolulu.
Colonel w. G. Mcfarland, who was
chamberlain to Queen Liliuokalani, has
arrived from the islands to perfect the or
ganization of the bank and later to re-
turn with gold coin, representing the
stock subscribed for it by San Francisco
and New York capitalists. A charter for
the bank has already been procured from
the United States by Perry S. Heath. as
sistant postmaster general, but it can not
be used until congress places the Hawaii
an situation under the territorial laws of
this country.

officially denied, and it is asserted that
the ENJOYS recently sent to Tokyo were
appointed simply to prove the friendly
relations between the powers.
Two automobiles beat the Paris-St.
Mole express train in a race between
those cities, a distance of 226 miles,
making the best time ever recorded for
an automobile, covering the distance in
seven hours and 48 minutes.
The effect of Judge Thornhill's decis-
ion in the Iowa court will result in the
release of James Doyle, Eel Paso coun-
TVS millionaire prisoner. James Burns
will comply with the conditions i'm
posed on him by the court and Doyle
may go free tomorrow.
One of the biggest quartz discoveries
in the history of Idaho mas been made
on Badger creek, which empties into
the Boise river about three miles this
side of Twin Springs. The discovery
was made by prospector named Frank
Bryant at point on the creek three
miles from its mouth.
The accident on the Erie railroad
growing out of the landslide a mile east
of Luckawaxon, N. Y, was not as SER
ious as at first reported. Only the fire
man and engineer of the derailed en-
CINE of the westbound Chicago express,
which turned over on the track, were
killed, though number of the express,
the vestibuled train for Buffalo and
Cleveland, which left New York, were
injured.
Despite the wild utterances of Sir
Charles Upper and Sir Wilfrid Laur-
Ter in the Canadian parliament at OF
tawa regarding the Alaskan boundary
dispute and the alarm which these
speeches have caused in official circles
in London, everyone at the White
House, d. c., at the state department,
and in cabinet circles generally, laugh
at the very idea of a possibility of war
with Great Britain on this or any other
account.

YAQU|S INDIANS ON WAR Path
IN TOWNS ALONG YAQUI RIVER
Americans and Mexicans Massacred-
Two Well Known Americans Killed
General Torres Was Slain Number
of Armed Indians Unknown.

st. Louis, Aug. PA special from Ortiz,
Mexico, says; Any doubt that the Yaquis
are on the warpath in earnest was dis
PEELED when news reached here that several
Americans and Mexicans had been killed
in the pueblos or towns in the Yaqui river
valley east and south of this station. The
courier who came in with the news of the
slaughter declares that he saw a desperate
fight at point 40 miles southeast OF Ortiz,
and that he has positive evidence that j.
+. Remly, merchant of Hermosillo, and
+. Miller, a photographer in his employ,
were among the killed. Remly was one of
the best known Americans in Sonora. The
inhabitants of the towns in and near the
Yaqui valley are in state OF terror. Cen
eral Torres, commanding the first military
zone, which includes Sonora, Sinaloa and
Lower California, who was in the field
with the Twelfth regiment, is reported
among the slain. No information is OBJ
tainable as yet of the number of fighting
Indians that are under arms. 1t is impos-
sible to secure accurate figures as to the
total number killed to date, but the esti-
mate of 80 on each side is not considered
excessive.

No Escort for Dewey.

New York, Aug. "a special from
Washington says: Secretary Long says
that it is not the intention of the depart
ment to order the North Atlantic squad
ron to cross the Atlantic and escort Ad-
miral Dewey back to his native land
While the subject has been discussed at
various times, it is not deemed necessary
to send the fleet to Europe, but it is in
tended that the navy, represented by the
North Atlantic squadron, shall take a
modest part in the ceremonies attending
his homecoming. 1t is the present inten
ton to have the fleet at Hampton Roads

VIII Thvart Russia's Plans.

Chino, July 9l.-The japanese alliance
has been welcomed by England and Ger.
many on the ground that it will rein
vigorate China and enable her to resist
the Russian advance.
The Spectator, in the course of an in
teresting article, asserts that japanese re-
organization of the Chinese army and ma
Wy and finances would be successful be-
cause the Japanese are more in sympathy
with Chinese national feeling than the
western nations.
Japan, the article says, would abolish
corruption and organize formidable we'll
armed Chinese army, while the combined
Chinese and japanese navies would be able
to prevent any invading army reaching
China by sea.

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal
Brands Sold in This Vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system of
food made with alum baking powders
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the eff
feet that such powders render the food
unwholesome, have caused numerous
inquiries for the names of the various
alum powders.
The following list of baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
reports of State Chemist Nicholson Of
Nebraska, the city chemist of st. Louis,
the food commission of Minnesota, or
other reliable authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum
X. C.................. Contains Alum
Jaques Mfg. Co, Chicago.
CALUMET ............C contains Alum
Calumet Baking Powder Co.. Chicago
HOME ...............C Contains Alum
Home Baking Powder Co., San Francisco.
WASHINGTON ...... Contains Alum

CRESCENT ......... Contains Alum

ID. Ferrera & Co, Tacoma.
BEEHIVE .......... Contains Alum
Washington Mfg. Co.. San Francisco.
BON BON. ........ Contains Alum
Grant Chemical Co., Chicago.
DEFIANCE ......... Contains Alum
Portland Coffee and Spice Co., Portland.
PORTLAND ....... Contains Alum
Beno & Balls. Portland.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up for
the grocer and his name put upon the
labels by manufacturers of alum pow
ders in st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City,
Tacoma, San Francisco and elsewhere.
The manufacturers, it is said, find their
efforts to market their goods in this
way greatly aided by the ambition of
the grocer to sell a powder with his
own name upon the label, especially
when the grocer can make an abnor-
NAL profit upon it. Many grocers,
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they are thus pushing are alum
powders which would be actually con-
traband in many section if sold with
out disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of DISCUSSES. un
der all kinds of cognomens, and at all
kinds of prices, even as low as five
and ten cents a pound. They can be
avoided, however, by the housekeepeI
who will bear in mind that all baking
powders sold at twenty-five cents OIL
less per pound are liable to contain
alum, as pure cream of tartar baking
powders cannot be produced at any
thing like this price.

Decision Is "A Compromise.

Denver, Aug. 1.-The state board of ar
bitration has filed its report on the in
vestigation of the smelter strike.
The decision reached is a compromise
between the demands of the smelter men
and the concessions of the companies.
The question OF union or non-union labor
is ignored.

Two BOYS Drowned.

Colorado Springs, Colo, July 2s.-Don-
aid Matheson and Robert Matheson, aged
IL and 10 years, respectively, were
drowned while bathing in Big Sandy creek
near Matheson, Ebert county, about go
miles east of this city. The indications
are that the elder boy was drowned while
trying to save the life of the younger.

four deaths from yellow fever at the sol
diers' home yesterday.

YELLOW FEVER At THE HOME
STRICT QUARANTINE THERE.
Large Number of Inmates Stricken
Several Deaths Have Occured-Thous-
snds Have Been Exposed-Government
Surgeons Ordered Tn,

Norfolk, Va, August IA message
from Governor Woodtin of the Soldiers
home at Hampton, says there have been
three deaths from yellow fever in the last
"a hours, and 30 cases are now under
treatment. Expert surgeons and immune
nurses are being Installed and rigid quar-
antine regulations enforced. He does not
think the disease will spread beyond the
home.
An Alarming Outlook.
Washington, August Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg received the following from
Lieutenant Colonel Dewitt:
Fort Monroe, Va-Surgeon Pettus,
United States marine hospital service.
quarantine officer, officially stated that
yellow fever was at the National Soldiers
home at Hampton. There were "a cases
with six deaths. The commanding officer
took immediate measures for quarantine.
General Corbin says the conditions are
serious and there is no telling how far the
infection may have reached. Excursion
parties have been coming to Old Point.
Newport News and the soldiers home.
Many of the eXcursionists have mingled
with the soldiers.
Corbin says one theory of the way the
fever might have been brought to the
home is that one of the soldiers recently
visited Santiago. He returned some time
since, suffering with what the physicians
thought to be dengue. 1t seems it was
not until the inmates os the home began
to die that the disease was discovered to
be yellow fever
Officials of the war department are very
much concerned about the situation. Cor
bin and Sternberg had conference early
this morning and it was decided to hold
everything in readiness to take care of
the yellow fever should it appear among
the troops.
Orders have been issued by the depart
ment removing the garrison at Fort Mon
roe to some point on the northern coast
officers and enlisted men will remain at
Fort Monroe as guards.
Surgeon General Van Ruypen of the
navy department said he did not believe
it would be necessary to suspend opera
tions at Norfolk. The navy yard, however,
would be quarantined.
How Did 1t Get There:
Newport News, Va, Aug. 1.-The Off
GERS of the Soldiers Home at Hampton
have no idea how the yellow fever worked
its way into the place where over 1000 old
union veterans are quarantined.
This city is completely cut off from
Hampton, Old Point. and Soldiers Home
except by wire. Reports telephoned from
the last named place today show the fever
situation there is well in hand. Only one
new case has developed since yesterday
afternoon and no other deaths have been
reported.
The home grounds are effectually quar-
antined and it is not thought the disease
will spread beyond the reservation. Armed
guards will prevent any persons from the
fever infected districts from entering the
oitu

TROUBLE OF THE LABORERS
Cleveland Car Strike No Nearer Set

Cleveland, Aug. 2.-This is the 10th day
of the street car strike in this city and APP
parently it is no nearer a settlement than
when it began. As has been the case dur
ing the past few days, the cars seem to be
running regularly, but are carrying few
passengers. The boycott movement con-
tinues and has reached some large depart
ment stores down town.

Kansas City, Aug. 2.-For the second

1000 employees, and today work was re-

who caused the trouble have not been re-
