The heavy rains for week
ending last Monday have been of
almost inestimable benefit to east
ern Colorado and western Nebras-
ka and Kansas. The record for
April precipitation has been
broken, the amount being nearly
six inches. In central and west
ern Colorado the storm was in the
form of snow and hail, while in
eastern Colorado it was soaking
rain. AS a result of this unusual
moisture the upland pastures are
in fine condition and farming land
will produce crops without irriga-
ton.

of an an amendment to the consti-

bill will probably be killed in the

their privilege of buying state

During the last half century,
British steamships have received
in subsidies, for carrying British
mails, $3.50, 1000, 900. British
steamships are consequently more
numerous than those of all other
nations combined. American sub
sides amount to very tritling
sum comparatively. Consequent
ly American steamships are near
ly as scarce as hens teeth"

Chaplain Charles G. Pierce has
reported to the war department
that the published figures as to
the number of saloons in the Phil
ippines have been perverted, and
he contradicts the stories that
have been circulated as to the
wholesale intoxication of the
American troops there. He de-
clares that the American saloon
has taken the place of numerous
native gin mills which dispensed
poison with deplorable effect upon
the troops. Speaking of the reg
mental canteen, Chaplain Pierce
states that it has resulted IN an
improvement in the sobriety of
the soldiers. Thus another polit-
ical campaign attack upon the
president is exploded.

Details of Another Tragedy of the
Northern Gold Fields.
TACOMA, Win, July 24.--Late adj
vices from Dawson give the details of
another tragedy, four out of a party
of five losing their lives as a result of
the terrible trip taken to the head
waters of the Stewart river. The dead
are: Antonine erry, Chas. Sandstrom,
of Boston; Oscar Van Buren,, who start
ed for the klondike with Sandstrom
from Boston; Louis Bouchard, who
joined the party in Atlin.
Geo. Saxholm, of Oakland, Cal, the
sole survivor of the party, was picked
up below the mouth of the Stewart
river, floating down the Yukon toward
Dawson. When discovered he was
nearly dead, having, he explained, af-
ter gaining his senses been as near as
he knew, four days without anything
to eat. The party left Atlin in the fall
of 1898 and in November separated,
Sandstrom and Van Buren, never
thereafter being heard of. Perry and
Bouchard were drowned in the rapids
by the capsizing of their craft

MERE MATTER OF POWDER
Admiral Kempn wanted More Gums
and Got The Promise That He
Should Have All He Wanted.

Admiral Kempn Wanted More Gums
and Got The Promise That He
Should Have All He Wanted.
LONDON, July 24.-The Globes
naval correspondent at TaAu writes:
admiral Kempff has raised storm
in a teacupl on the salute question. He
is second IN command of the station,
and thus entitled to eleven guns as rear
admiral, and this was recently given
him by the Endymion at Yokohama.
He claimed thirteen guns, stating that
no American admiral got eleven guns,
their values being: Full admiral, II;
vice admiral, 10; rear admiral, 13. To
his protest Rear Admiral Kempff was
informed that the captain of the
Endymion will give him as many guns
as he wanted if there was sufficient
powder on the ship, but until they pub
lished their regulations we had to go
by ours. The Orlando, (Br armored
ship, arriving at Taku, knew nothing
OF this squabble, and rubbed it in by
saluting the Chinese rear admiral with
thirteen guns, then the Russian rear
admiral with thirteen, and then the
United States rear admiral with eleven
guns. Whether distance made it diff
cult for them to distinguish the num-
Der or a delicate hint was intended,
the Newark had the good taste to re-
turn thirteen.

simply as an observer for the President.
This is technically true, but it also
may be stated that he will be en-
trusted with full diplomatic powers
later on if it seems expedient and in
the interest of an early settlement of
the Chinese problem to have directly
on the field an authorized agent of the
United States government. 1t is even
probable that he will be the next
United States minister 10 Pekin if Mr..
Conger has persisted.
1t is gathered here that the German
government has done something of
the same kind, and although the assur-
ances of death Of the German minister
to Pekin, Baron Won Ketteler, are so
strong as to leave no doubt of the fact
of his death, yet it is understood that
the credentials of Baron Mumm Won
Schwartzenburg, now in his way to
Tien Tsin, are as yet only those of a
diplomatic agent of the German gov
eminent, making his position thus
correspond closely to that of Mr.. Rock
hill. 1t also is noted that the British
government has taken similar action in
dispatching to China Sir Walter Hill
yer. He is well known to Mr.. Rock
hill, having been a British consul at
Chinese port during the presence of the
American commissioner in Pekin as
secretary Of the legation.
There Is Reason to Believe,
that the other European powers having
direct interests in China will follow
these examples and thus it may happen
that the international commission idea,
originally contemplated by the United
States as a means of settlement of the
Chinese trouble, may take form &C
ceptable to all concerned 1t would
seem entirely possible that the powers
may decide to take advantage of the
gathering in China of such an able
body of experienced orientalists and
diplomatists to commit to them the
task Of reaching a concord which will
tremendously settle all of the differ
ences that have arisen, not only be-
tween China and the powers but be-
tween the powers themselvs as a result
of the Boxer uprising.
Mr.. Rockhill will take no staff with
him, relying upon picking up in China
such help as he may need in clerical
way. During his absence in China,
which by the way he says will not be
long, the Bureau of American repub-
lies will be under the temporary di-
rection of Secretary Guzman and Chief
Clerk Fox.
