RUSSIA WILL ARBITRATE.
Has Agreed to Arbitration of tho Claims
OF American Citizens.

Has Agreed to Arbitration of tho Claims
Of American Citizens.
New York, Aug. 16.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Am bassador Tower has notified the
state department that the Russian gov
ernment has agreed to arbitrate the
claims of American citizens against it,
growing out of the seizure of their ves-
sells off the Siberian coast. These
claims amount to $500. 900, and Rus
sia's willingness to arbitrate them is
the best evidence, state department
officials say. of their validity.
Mr.. Tower is negotiating treaty re-
ferring the claims to arbitration,
which will be based upon the conven-
tions under which the Cheek and Nc
Corp claims were aIbitrated. The ar
bitrator will be selected by the two
governments, and will be required to
render the award within six months af-
ter his appointment. These claims are
due to the seizure of American sealing
ships off the Siberian coast in 1899.
and the maltreatment of some of their
crews. Their vessels were seized 80
mIlcs away lTOm tHo olUoridH SHOF0
Had the seizure occurred within three
miles it is probable this government
would have declined to press the
claims.
The Swiss government is expected to
render it's verdict in the Delagoa Bay
claim during the coming fall. This
claim. growing out of the seizure of the
Delagoa Bay railroad. owned by an
American citizen. by the Portuguese
government, amounts to several mil-
lions of dollars.

APPEAL TO THE GOVERNORS
Secretary Root Seeks Aid for
the Storm Victims.
PORTO RlcANs MUST BE FED
Navy Ready to Co-Operate and VIII
Place n Ship at the Disposal of the
War Departments When Needed.

Washington, Aug. l6.-The secre-
tary OF war this afternoon issued the
following appeal to the governors of
states for aid for the storm sufferers
in Porto Rico:
"Sif: / enclose herewith copies of
two telegraphic dispatches received last
evening from the governor.general of
Porto Rico, by which it appears that
the devastation wrought by the recent
hurricane in that island is even greater
than was at first supposed. 1t is evil
dent that great multitude of people
are rendered utterly destitute by this
awful calamity, and must be fed and
cared for during considerable period
until they can have the opportunity to
produce food for themselves. Enorm-
Gus quantities of supplies of the kind
Indicated by the governor-general must
be procured.
''The magnitude of the work to be
accomplished leads this department to
supplement the appeal already made
to the mayors of the principal cities of
the country by more general appeal,
and | beg you to ask the people of
your state to contribute generously to
the relief of the people of Porto Rico.
Swift steamers have been provided to
leave the port of New York to carry
the supplies directly to Porto Rico as
rapidly as they can be collected.
Contributions should be either in
supplies OF the character indicated, or
in money, in order that the supplies
can be purchased. The supplies should
be sent to Colonel f. B. Jones, Army
building, foot of Whitehall street. New
York city, in packages plainly marked
Porto Rican Relief. and he should be
consulted as to the time of shipment.
Money should be sent to the Nation
al Bank of North America. New York
city, which has been designated as
depository for the relief fund. Very
respectfully. ELIHU ROOT,
Secretary of War;"
Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen
today wrote Secretary Root that the
navy desired to cooperate in every way
it could in rendering assistance to the
stor stricken people of Porto Rico.
and rendering warship, to be placed
at the disposal of the war department.
if it was desired to convey supplies to
the island. The offer doubtless will
be accepted, as every available means
is being adopted to hurry along the
great stock of supplies which is impera-
lively needed.
Mr.. Allen is in telegraphic commu-
nication with several naval stations,
with view to having ship ready as
soon as the war department wants it.

Failure Of Alexander Mcdonald, King

Failure Of Alexander Mcdonald, King
of the Klondike.
Chicago, Aug. IA special to the
Times Herald from San Francisco says;
Alexander Mcdonald, king of the Klon.
dixie. has failed. His liabilities are
estimated at $4,000, 900. His assets
are of uncertain value. After know.
ing for two years what it is to be a mil.
lionaire many times over. he has
shouldered his pick, and, without com.
planning, has started again as poor
miner. leaving his bride in Dawson
with score of creditors for whose ben.
eft all his interests, both mining and
trading, have been assigned. In his
formal declaration of insolvency, filed
at Dawson, July 80. Mcdonald stated
his liabilities to be approximately
$4,000, 900. while there is no way oi
fully computing his assets, as his in.
vestments are of largely problematicai
value. AS they will have to be sacri-
feed, Mcdonald himself says there
will not be enough to go around. al
though he believes their ultimate value
will prove $40, 900, 900 at least. He ia
not at all disheartened by his sudden
change of fortune. Indeed. he appears
relieved.
'It's too much worry" he declares,
''to be millionaire. - Mcdonald was
one OF the first, as we'll as one of the
most fortunate of the Klondike piO-
neers. His bride, an English girl. al
most 90 years his junior, looks at the
situation with philosophical fortitude.
She says she is quite satisfied as long
as he keeps his health and courage.
When Mcdonald married Margaret
Chisholm in London. February last
his wealth was variously estimated
at from $40. 900, 900 to five times that
sum. Mcdonald passed through Taco
ma last October en- route from Dawson
City to London. and it was stated theli
in various dispatches that he carried
with him for expense money fully
%. 1000, 900. It was also related by
the press that fou, years ago he passed
through Tacoma practically penniless,
headed for the Klondike with the
avowed purpose of pulling out his
stake"
When Mcdonald went to England, q
few months ago, to organize a syndi-
cate to control the transportation and
provision business of the far north, he
left his affairs IN the hands OF incom-
petent agents. On his return. credit
ors made demands which he could not
meet. Before going to the Klondike,
Mcdonald prospected in Colorado.

Factors In Trade.
Bradstreet's trade review says:
Crop reports and, probabilities have
constituted an important contribution
to general trade and business advices
this week. Among the unquestionably
favorable features have been the re-
ports regarding the corn crop. govern
ment estimates pointing to yield of
probably 2, 200, 900. 900 bushels heavy
increase over last year and almost
within touch Of the record of the total
of 1896. Spring wheat Indications ap-
parently bear out earlier trade advices
in showing decrease in condition DUR
ing July. The reduct ion of 25, 900, 900
bushels in the probable outcome, esti-
mated. however, considerably smaller
exception of 1898 and 1891, is the
heaviest recorded.
A German lieutenant who is touring
America says England would like to
see the United States 60 to war with
Germany, because Great Britain would
get more commerce. He also says
Dewey and Deidrichs were friends.

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform us that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent
hygienists, who have given the matter
most study. regard these powders as
an evil that should be suppressed by
state action. In Minnesota and Wis
consin alum powders are not permitted
to be sold unless they are branded to
warn consumers of their true character,
while in the District of Columb bia the
authorities have under the direction of
congress, adopted regulations to pro-
hibit the use Of alum in bread alto
aether.
Are not the people OF other states, az
well as those of Minnesota and Wis.,
consin, entitled to warning of a danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole coun-
try entitled to absolute protection, as
the people of the District of Columbi
are protected, by legislation which ia
entirely prohIbitive?
Until we9can have protection in the
form of a statute, how can our state
uoaIuo VI noditls stdto analysts Or IOOu
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders 10 re-
member that all powders sold at twen-
tv-five cents or less per pound are of
this dangerous class. Pure cream of
tartar powders are usually sold at
from forty-fve to fifty cents pound.
