merica Won't Interfere.

New York July IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: While
President Mckinley will take all neces-
sary steps for the protection of Ameri-
cans and their interests in China, there is
no likelihood that he will join with Great
Britain in coercing the Pekin government
to give extraordinary concessions to
Americans and British citizens. A high
official said regarding the mission of w.
H. Parsons to Washington that the ad-
ministration had no intention of cembin-
ing with Great Britain or any other gov
eminent in the interest of its citizens.
Naturally the president stood ready, he
said, to afford all reasonable and lawful
protection to Americans in foreign coun-
tries and Mr. Parsons would undoubtedly
receive this assurance, 1t has been the
policy of the administration not to advo-
cate any special American industry to
the Chinese government. Instructions
sent to the American minister in Pekin
some time ago said:
I'm the advancement OF American en-
terprises in China and the efforts made in
behalf of the Chinese foreign office, you
should be cautious in giving what might
be understood as this governments IN
dorsement of the financial standing of the
persons seeking contracts with thu ne
China. Briefly speaking. you should en-
ploy al. proper methods for the extension
of American commercial interests in Chi
M while refraining from advocating the
projects of any one firm to the exclusion
of others"
It is therefore unlikely that the railroad
syndicate in which Mr.. Parsons Is inter-
ested will receive any more consideration
or protection than any other American
enterprise in the Celestian empire.

Vancouver, B. c., July 14.--News from

most closely for signs of trouble Bus

Even then, the industrial disputes in
cident to the season cause less trouble
than usual, the largest of them having
been settled Thursday by the tin plate

! SCARCITY OF MONEY
Is Checking Business Enterprise
in England.
PROTECTING THE RESERVE
Further Gold Shipments to the United
States Feared in Payment for
Wheat and Cotton-Bank
Rate Raised.

London, July 1.-THE Statist In its
editorial on the money outlook, to-mor-
, row, will say:
The Bank of England has raised the
bank rate from to 3k per cent and Az
per cent. for short advances. There
was some question whether the gem
eral rate should be put up to per cent
but it was finally decided that an adj
vance of one-half per cent. would be
sufficient for the moment.
This step was practically forced up
on the bank by further heavy reduc-
tons in the reserves of the New York
banks from $4,000, 900 to G., 1000, 900. This
reduction not only makes further gold
shipments from the United States out
of the question, but brought London TO
face the possibility of New York taking
money from Europe so soon rs wheat
begins to move freely The continued
outflow of cash into the country. the
French competition for gold in the Lon
don market the inability of the Bank
of England to obtain gold abroad to a
greater extent than is necessary to meet
interior requirements and the ability of
Japan to take gold away if she requires
it-these are all additional factors for
protecting the bank reserve. Since June
81 the reserve has declined by about
$500, 600
will the present rate have to be fur
ther advanced is the question. Last
year at this date the reserve stood IT
more than s25,0OO,000. Then we were
calling in money from Germany and
the United States was taking payment
for wheat and cotton largely in securi-
ties.
This year we have no balances n
Germany and may be unable to pay the
United states by selling stocks. Hence
we must be prepared either to offer n
discount rate sufficiently high to induce
American banks to keep gold on this
side, or to send gold in payment for
produce. We may consequently wit
ness a per cent rate here and higher
rate in Germany than last year"

German Flag Torn Down.

Honolulu. July Z. via Victoria, r. c.,
July 14.-There was a flag incident here
on the Fourth of July which promises to
be made an international episode. Carl
Klemme. the proprietor of the Orpheum
hotel. galy decorated his building in
American colors. hosted the American
flag over 1t, and under the American flag
was the German flag Later a friend of
his wanted to use an American flag and
Klemme good naturedly loaned him his,
leaving the German flag floating alone
from the flagstaff. j. II. West saw it and
ordered klemme to haul 1t down. There
has been i'll feeling between the two men
before and 1ilemme refused to take or
ders from his enemy. West therefore got
a lot of soldiers from the transport Sher-
idan and showed them the German flag
floating on the Fourth of July in Amer
lean territory. The soldiers at once pro-
ceeded to the roof, tore down the Ger
man flag. destroyed It and put in its place
some red, white and blue bunting torn
from the other decorations of the building
West was to-day fined 800 in police court
for malicious mischief and the German
consul will make report of the matter

Three-Cent Fares,

Detroit, July 14.--It Is reported that
Governor Pingree, as soon as the council
finally adopts the municipal railroad or
dinances, will bend his energies to secure
a special session Of the legislature for
the purpose of providing for the submits
sion of constitutional amendment TO the
people permitting the city of Detroit to
go into the municipal owHsyship of street
railways. The governor Hopes to get the
special session in operation some time be-
fore the November election and the an
nouncement of the pan will be made. The
governor has issued a proclamation to the
people calling attention to the efforts of
the enemies of the people to defeat the g.
cent fares for which he has been strug-
Cling for 10 years, and appealing to them
to stand by him in the great contest.
The municipal street railway company
headed by Governor Pingree. has made a
deal with the owners of the lines to inau-
gurate Scent fares, commencing this
morning at o'clock, and notifies the
public that the great blessings will be
permanent unless defeated by the enemies
of the people. 1t is the last play in the
great fight to secure the possession of a
franchise ordinance by the common couu-
Gil. Three-cent tickets will be sold on all
lines with universal transfers

DAILY KNOCKED OUT.
Tim Kearns Now Entitled to Meet Erne

New York, July 14.-Tim Kearns of
Boston knocked the wind out of Jack
Daily of Wilmington in less than II
rounds before the Broadway Athletic
club tonight. Kearns is now entitled
to meet the lightweight champion,
Frank Erne of Buffalo. #E
A hard right smash from Daily cut
Kearns' left eye in the fourth round.
and in the fifth a left jab split his
right eye brow. No sooner had the
blood trickled down Kearns' face than
the Boston lad shot his left to Days
right optic and cut it just as severely.
Daily went for his man with both
hands beating him to the floor. Kearns
got up at close quarters and pummel-
ed DAILY hard and fast, weakening the
latter so that only the bell saved him
from going under '
In the seventh DAILY landed a right
swinging smash on Kearns' Jaw, which
daZed the latter, and it looked as If
the Boston boy was done for, but he
recuperated wonderfully, and fought
out the round with good judgment. In
the next few rounds Tim forced the
pace, forcing DAILY to break ground
continually and frequently, the Della
ware lad resorting to clinches, Kearns
always boring in with both hands on
the body. DAILY was very weak as he
came up for the 18th round, and he got
all the worst of the argument.
In the 18th Kearns bored in with both
hands and Daily was forced to clinch
repeatedly. DAILY backed into his own
corner, where Kearns threw his left
into the stomach and quickly brought
it up with an upper cut on the chin,
flooring DAILY. Jack fell fiat on his
back on the floor of the ring. where
he remained. Time of round, two min
utes, Is seconds.

HE WAS A TRAILER.
The Reason Given for the Murder at
Wardner

Wardner.
Wallace. Idaho. July I.--George Ohm
stead and l.. w. Hutton, the conduct
or and the engineer of the stolen train,
were on the stand to-day. Neither saw
any masked or armed men until ready
to leave Burke. Then the masked men
boarded the engine, taking charge of
the engineer and giving him orders
where to stop. At Wallace the masked
men ordered them through to Ward
ner. The trainmen said the engine
was too heavy, but they took it any
way.
Chris Eyrie. formerly president of the
Wardner Miners union, told to-day how
the Wardner men came to participate
in the riot. When he came off the
shift on the night of April % masked
and armed men met him near the end
of the tunnel, telling him to go down
to the railroad next morning, taking
with him working clothes as there
might be work; also to tell all the
miners that there would be no work in
the Last Chance next day. He circu-
lated that word, but had no idea what
was coming. After reaching Kellogg
he remembered nothing. except that he
did not wear mask or carry a gun.
Sophia Moffatt was on the side hill
near the armed men when the shots
were fired. He heard the shooting and
saw Smith fail. Harry Afford, whom
he has known since childhood, wore a
black mask. He asked who was hurt.
Afford replied:
There was a trailer and we shot
him."
He also said the dead man was named
Smith. He also saw Fred Shaw when
he raised his mask to wipe his face.
Gus Smith was stopping with his sis
ter. who was running the Bunker Hill
boarding house. He saw men with
bundles going up the track and fol-
lowed them. He was invited aboard
and jumped on. At Kellogg he started
down to the mill, but was stopped by
guards. He found the house full of
masked men, who had eaten every
thing cooked. They stayed there until
ordered out. He saw joe Villa pouring
coal oil on the childrens clothing in the
house. Villa is one of the men under
