TONS OF COIN FOR MANILA.
Over n Million Dollars Loaded on
Transport.


San Francisco, July 24.-The largest
shipment by the Government of coin to
Manila as far as bulk is concerned since
the outbreak of the war was loaded on
the transport Tartar yesterday. 1t weighed
about five tons and was brought under
guard from the mint to the transport dock
in two heavy drays and a wagon The to-
tai sum is $1,000, 900, besides nickles and
pennies. and 100000 of this sum is in
silver, whose weight is over three tons.
The money is contained in ffty-three IRON
bound chests.
Because of the delay in the arrival of the
Nineteenth Infantry, which is assigned to
the Tartar for transportation to the Phil
ippines, the troopship will not sail this af-
ternoon. The Newport and Ohio. will sail
on Wednesday or Thursday with part of
the Nineteenth Infantry and large num-
Der of recruits for various regiments. The
Indiana. which returned with invalided and
discharged soldiers from Manila, will sail
again with recruits next Saturday. She is
now being coaled. The ship Tacoma will
get away with load of horses about the
middle of the week.

1t appears reasonably certain that Gov
ernor "Anse'' McLaurin has defeated the
Hon John Allen for the Senate in Mis-
sissippi. Evidently the Mississippians do
not relish humor as highly as do the peo-
pie of other States. Or is ii that they re-
gard Governor Anse" greater humorist
than Private John?" The former, We
recollect, started out in the race on the
knife and that every Mississippi gentleman
thus manipulated his spinach.

An old Prussian law has been discovered
which classifies as domestic servants the
ladies waiting at the German Court.
And yet We dare say that even if this
antiquated statute should be literally en-
forced the Empress would experience no
difficulty in securing all the ladies' wait
ing that her needs might demand or her
fancy crave.

Tupper the Terrible.

Our friend, Sir Charles Tupper, who rep
resents very important ice and wind dis
trict in the make believe" parliament at
Ottawa, is not as proverbial as his late un-
Gle, Martin Farquhar, but he is equally as
sententious and twice as amusing. His
humor is of the unconscious kind. He does
not have the least conception that the calm
and condescending manner in which he dis
cusses the ultimate possibility of hostili-
ties with this country is supremely funny,
inasmuch as everybody knows that, in
such an event, England would have to do
| all the fighting while Canada would only
be called upon to initiate the trouble, and
rake in whatever chestnuts might result
from the work of the imperial cat's-paw.
| All this playing at the merry game OF
| great nation by these Lauriers, Tuppers,
and other small colonial folk, is simply ri
diculous, and the British Government ought
10 put stop to it. We can afford TO have
the Canadians swear themselves hoarse
| that the new boundary line they discov-
cred in Alaska only after they occupied and
began TO work notoriously American terri
| tory. is the line Lord Salisbury must bully
us into giving them. But We cannot stand
! having their foolishness affect negotiations
between US and England, nor can We allow
| the interlopers to remain much longer
within our boundary.
There will not be any arbitration OF a

States and Russia for century.
There will not be any war unless
Great Britain should be unwise enough to
declare one. in consequence of our action
in removing her colonist invaders to their
own side of the line Just at present the
best thing Mr.. Chamberlain could do would
be to show his appreciation of the excessive
zeal and patriotism at Ottawa by decorat-

General Otis Skeleton Regiments Will
Be Filled.
Washington, July 1.-The first vol.
unteers to be raised for services in the
Philippines will be those for the skele-
ton regiments now being formed by
General Otis. 1t is not believed there
will be the least difficulty in obtaining
these men.
1t is probable that some time will
elapse before the troops of the provis-
ional army are sent to Manila, but,
meanwhile, they will be drilled and
taught craftsmanship in camp. 1t is
estimated that three months are re-
quired to make soldiers OF recruits.
The officers OF the war department
think that a number of volunteers now
coming home will desire TO return to
the Philippines for short service after
they have had an opportunity to see
home and friends. They are regarded
as the most desirable for the regiments
being organized by General Otis.
