Senator Foster has recommended
H. D. Allison, an Anacortes attor-
ney, for the deputy revenue collect
orship at this point, which position
was made vacant by the resignation
of E. W. Bowen some time ago.
This is another case Of the unex-
pected happening, for Ralph Ross,
who has been clerk in the office
for quite while, was a strong can
didate for the place and had the en-
dorsement of the King county COM
mittee. In short the Pie-maker is
of the opinion that Mr.. Ross had the
unanimous endorsement of every
body in King county, and yet he
was fatty turned down by Senator
Foster, and he gave as an excuse for
it that Mr.. Ross appointment was
not satisfactory to Collector Dunno;
but Senator Fosters statement on
this point was not borne out by Mr..
Dunno, who declared that the state
ment made by Mr.. Foster that the
appointment Of Mr.. Ross was unsat-
isfactory to him was a malicious
falsehood. This is hard on Senator
Foster, exceedingly hard. 1t not
only shows that he is playing double
in politics, but, if Collector DUNES
statement is to be believed, he has
absolutely said things that were
false. The Pie-maker would suggest
to Senator Foster that this patronage
business is going to prove his undo
ing and prove it very rapidly. If he
had but stuck to his text which he
gave out in the outset and appointed
those persons for federal positions
that the county central committees
had recommended he would have

This murder case is "a most re-
markable one, and one that is at
tracing attention not only in Seat
tie, but all over the country, from
the fact that it is considered a poll
teal squabble among Republican
politicians. Laboring under this be-
lief, the politicians Of the city will
not discuss political issues one way

preached on the matter, they simply

1t would appear to one who has
given this case close observation that
there will be but one point of con-

is, was John Considine justifable in
shooting Meredith after he had been

stunned by his heavy blows.

New York.

GOUROCK, July 27.-The Shamrock II,
accompanied by the Erin, sailed at 1920
o'clock this morning for New York. Great
enthusiasm was displayed as the chal-
lenger departed.
Captain Sycamore desired to go out un-
der canvas, and he was favored with a
light easterly wind, sufficient to keep the
flags streaming in the direction the yachts
had to sail. The challenger cut a strange
figure with her stunted spars and scanty
canvas as she lay ready to start. At 10
O. clock Sir Thomas Upton and Mr.. Wat
son, the yachts designer, boarded her, and
a few minutes later the challenger's moor
ings were slipped, her head sails broken
out and the Shamrock II started on her
voyage across the Atlantic. Thousands of
persons gathered along the shore and on
the pier at Gourock and greeted the yacht 8
departure with a great outburst of cheer
ing, again and again renewed. Hats and
handkerchiefs were waved, guns saluted
and steam whistles and sirens ahrieked
The ShamrOcks crew were all mustered
on deck and, led by Sir Thomas gave a
hearty response to the greetings. For
miles along the shore crowds occupied
every vantage point and the cheers passed
with her racing flag at the masthead and
the Erin, with the stars and stripes flying
at her fore, disappeared from sight
Sir Thomas Upton remained aboard the
challenger until she was off Cumbraes,

fact that the victims of this affair had not

the reply Of the State Department to these
documents before communicating with his

and Gov. Longino of Mississippi, through

German Fear Of America.

Simon w. Hanauer, United States deputy
consul general at Frankfort, Germany,
writes to The Star, that another one of
Germany's noted scientists. Prof. Wolf Of
the University at Breslau. Germany, in his
lately published book. Germany and the
World Market" has issued a warning
against the encroachment of the trade of
the United States. He says:
1.-THE fear of Asiatic competition is not
well grounded, for the imports OF these
newly developed industrial countries (Ja-
pan and India) will for many years to
come exceed their industrial productions.
But quite contrary to this is the effect OF
the Industrial development Of the United
States.'
Mr. Wolf quotes the opinions Of a great
many experts in various branches Of Ger
man manufacture, which are competing
with the United States, then he continues:
II believe that America will not only
gradually shut her doors wholly to Euro
pean goods. but she will simultaneously
become dangerous rival to European
manufacturers in the world markets. The
strength of American manufacturing lies
in reducing costs of production by operat-
ing on a vastly extended scale and the
economizing of time and labor"

for on the outside the windows were plain

In the second administration of President

only way to get this space was by closing

ropes of the window rollers work are of
lead, weighing at least fifty pounds each.

Ministers at Pekin Nearly Ready to
Sign Protocol.
FOREIGN ARMIES TO LEAVE CHINA
Russia Agrees Not to Press Its
Demand at Present.
QUESTION OF THE DUTIES

Confirmation Of the amplest kind Of the
encouraging news that has come to the
press from Pekin relative to the settlement
of the financial problems that have en-
crossed the attention of the ministers there
for many weary months has just come to
hand from United States Special Commits
sioner Rockhill. Moreover, he adds to the
general items already reported the news
that the ministers will be ready to sign
a protocol within two weeks that will re-
suit in the speedy withdrawal from China
of all foreign troops except the legation
guards and those who will occupy certain
strategic points, to be held under the
treaty to safeguard the road between Pekin
and the sea. The advice Is in substance as
follows:
Russia Will Not Press Demand.
The Russian government has signifed its
intention of not further pressing the ques-
tion at present Of the eventual increase of
the import customs duties beyond per cent
the present figure) 1t is agreed that in
case the revenues of China are not suffi-
cient for the payment of interest and prin-
c1pal the powers are to examine the reve-
nues and determine what changes are nee
essary in order to supply the deficiency
The imperial maritime customs are to be
included in this arrangement.
The British minister is satisfied with this
arrangement and the whole question Of
financial measures is therefore settled
The Indemnity.
The 100000 600 taels constituting the in
demnity, are to be converted into gold at
the equivalent of the tael value on the 1st
of last April. In case the import dues are
subsequently increased the free list will
have to be abolished, except for cereals.
but it is understood that compensation will
In that case be asked for probably the
financial participation Of China in improv-
ing the water approaches of Shanghai and
Tien Tsin. All the other principal points
of the negotiations are now settled and it
is expected that the results will be sum-
married in the final protocol within two
weeks and that all the powers will become
signatories.
In connection with the indemnity pay
ments a question has arisen whether the
United States government will take its
share OF the bonds to be issued by China
in American gold or in pounds sterling.
The disposition of this government is to
take the money in the form that will be-
the least burdensome to the Chinese gov
ernment and in the interest Of uniformity,
SO 1t is probable that the payments will be
made In pounds sterling.

material will not be lacking in filling gov

The first cadet TO be appointed to West
Point from the Hawaiian Islands, Clarence
Lyman of Hilo, was a passenger on the

TO take the entrance examinations. He is
a college graduate, and the showing he
makes in the entrance examinations will
to an extent, mark the standard of the
native colleges.
Mr.. Severn made an examination of
the books of the national bank

tuition In good shape. The money in
circulation in the island is all gold and
silver There is in circulation about $4,-
100000 of native silver coins. These coins
are exactly the same weight and fineness
as United States money, and are coined
into dimes. quarters, halves and dollar
pieces. The dimes are rapidly disappearing
as money. and are being plated and worn
for jewelry.

Inmates submitted showed that these re-
celpts should have been from $4,000 to
$24,OOO month. The actual receipts have
