Oregon Troops at San Francisco in
Need of OvercOats.

President Mckinley received a telegram
from San Francisco today saying that the
Oregon troops at the Preside We're without
Overcoats, and were suffering from the
weather and in danger of pneumonia The
dispatch stated that having just returned
from a tropical climate, they could not
Withstand the cold, and that there were
plenty of overcoats in the quartermasters
department.
President Mckinley directed that such
clothing as was necessary for the comfort
of the troops be issued to them.
1t was stated at the War Department that
the matter of clothing for the troops was
at their own disposal. Each man is allowed
500 annually for clothing, and if he does
not use the whole amount he draws the
residue The Oregon men can draw upon the
this clothing credit if they want to and get
overcoats or other things but it will be
charged to their clothing account and taken
out of the money paid them when they are
mustered out. 1t is supposed at the de-
pdrtment that these men do not wish to
draw army overcoats just as they are to be
mustered out in the summer time and pre-
fer to have the money. The department

HONEST AND QUALIFIED.
Report on the Investigation of Tea
Examiner McGay.


The treasury commission engaged in in
vestgations at the appraisers stores, New
York, has submitted report to the Sec
retary of the Treasury upon the subject
of charges against the examiner of tea
Isaac McGay.
The commission finds that widely diver
gent views are expressed by importers and
others in the tea trade concerning the COM
potency and efficiency of the examiner
In the opinion of the commission. there
has been a rigid enforcement of the tea
aminer McGay is honest and qualified by
experience to determine whether or not a.
tea is pure and wholesome and fit for con-
sumption, although he has unquestionaby
made mistakes in passing upon the rela-
tive excellence of tea-errors which are
likely TO be repeated by him, and are not
to be altogether avoided even by the selec-
ton of the best expert in the country to
serve as examiner. The commission re-
ports that 1t is impossible to OBTAIN uni
formity in decisions as to the relative
strength and flavor of tea because determi-
nations upon these points differ widely
with individual preferences. The question
is presented by importers whether or not
the word quality" considered with "pur-
ity and fitness for consumption,' is synony-
nous with wholesomeness. If no teas
should be excluded when they are equally
pure and fit for consumption as the gov
ernment standard and many importers
contend that that is the intent of the tea
act, then the tests for quality should be
discontinued.
Suggestions are made concerning the
method of selecting witnesses in the hear
ing of protests.

MARKET FOR WASHINGfON'S BUTTER
Pacific Slope Generally VIII Be
Benefited in Trade.
PROSE ECTS FOR PEACE

SEATTLE, Wash, July 17-Secretary of
this city several days, or until he has seen
every farmer from whom it is possible to
obtain any information.
He said last night
THE time has come when the coast is in
a position to command the trade of the
orient and the Pacific. Manila alone will
take all the butter Washington can manu-
facture and put up in tin cans.
Millions of dollars of trade in butter
alone await the Pacific coast as soon as it
can supply the demand. The Pacific coast
is destined yet to be the great market of
the world. 1t has the rich country and
moneyed people and across the Pacific
to deal with.
THE coast and will have all of this
trade in time, and it is the ambition of the
department that the state of Washington
be one of the first to actively enter into
the manufacture of butter and tin cans to
export to China, Japan and the Philip
pines.
Benefits of Expansion.
Expansion is going to be a great thing
for the coast. 1t will open up and develop
a market that would otherwise be stagnant
for many years to come. The people are al
ready coming to see it in that light. Why,
L can see that great majority of the states
from here east are in favor of keeping the
flag where it is. The feeling of President
Mckinley and the administration regarding
the Philippines is the same that took to
Cuba. l believe it is our duty to teach
seif-government to all those whom we hap
pen to come in contact with, and we come
in contact with the Philippines through
our war, in the name of humanity, with
Spain. Aguinaldo is a cut-throat in LuZon
as Weyler was in Cuba He and his fol-
lowers must be brought to a realization of
what self-government means. He insulted
our flag and that brought on the punish
ment.
Peace Expected Soon.
1T is the belief of the administration that
as soon the rainy season is over peace
will be quickly declared. After that a policy
of self-government in the Philippines will
come up.
THE people everywhere are enthusiastic
over President Mckinley, and will back up
his policy of keeping old glory afloat in
stead of allowing the F'ilfpinos to trample
it into the gutter, or anti-eXpansionists to
place the old blood-stained banner of lib
erty under the bed
On leaving Washington the Secretary will
proceed to the Pacific coast states, where
he will endeavor to encourage an increase
in agricultural products.

Assistant Secretary Vanderlip Speaks
of His Trip in the West.

Assistant Secretary VanderIip returned
today from long official trip through the
western and Pacific coast states, during
which time he inspected the mints and
assay offices of that section. When asked
as to the political situation, he said:
Il was astonished to find the. situation as
it is. l feel sure that the east does rot
imagine how fast the silver sentiment is
waning. From what was told me by demo-
cratic and republican leaders, silver will
not be the great issue next year. The sill
yer people have been counfounded by the
great production of gold, and are willing TO
let the silver ssue take back seat. The
effort of the western democrats seems to be
to make trusts the paramount issue - next
year. Antitrust talk is heard on every
side. l do not believe that the western
democrats will care to risk issue on the
Philippine policy of the administration. The
people of the west are too heartily in favor
of the present course of the administration
in the Philippines for the democrats TO
hope to carry any territory with that as
leading issue.
From a commercial and business point
OF view the situation in the west is sp'en-
did. Everybody is at work and nrosperity
has brought contentment. The Pacific coast
states are particularly in good condition

letter was to suggest means of quickly
establishing strong garrison to command

United States fleet under Admiral Dewey
with the least possible delay. This, in my
judgment, is of pre-eminent Importance.
The troops mentioned in the within let

judgment. are all tiat It would be advis-
able to send to the Philippine Islands at
this time. If it be deemed advisable to
send additional regiments, they can be sent
from New Orleans or Tampa but the force
now ordered to be sent is, as already indi-
Gated, 10000 more than will be required for
the purpose.
1T is, however, in my judgment, of the
highest Importance that orders should be
sent to place the six high-power guns and
eight twelve-inch mortars, with at least
fifty rounds of ammunition per gun and
mortar. on vessels at San Francisco and
possibly Puget Sound, with the least pos
sib!e delay, and sent TO the harbor of
Manila and mounted as speedily as pos
sibie. 1t may be advisable to send addi-
tonal guns These orders should be sent

but only difference of opinion as to the

Certain new spapers have attempted to
SNOW tnat Gen. Miles did not want more
