There seems to be quite a rivalry
between the war department Of this
country and Andrew Carnegie, as to
which of them can give Seattle the
greatest amount Of free advertise
ment just now The odds, however,
seem to be in favor Of Mr.. Carnegie,
though the war department sends
$3,6O0,0O0 to Seattle, while Mr.. Car
negie sends but 100000, the latter
being a gracious gift, while the for

Boston, July 23.-Referring to Mac

"Schley's first statement regarding

correct. The interviews given out

correct. They were entirely different
from his first accounts and were writ

Admiral Schley was seen tonight at
Great Neck, l.. l., where he is at pres

have nothing to say at present, no
matter what was said by others in re-

that later, when others had said all
they wanted to, he might issue a

CORBlN AIMING TO CUT
ARMY EXPENSES
With General Chaffee in
the Philippines.

Manila, July 23.-The conference
between Adjutant General Corbin and
General Chaffee will probably result in
radical economical and administrative
reforms in the army of occupation. 1t
is estimated that the total cost Of
maintaining the American army in the
Philippines can be reduced by GO per
cent in the course of one year. The
principal change will be the reduction
of the present force to between TO-
900 and 10000 men. The abolishment
of the present army districts is con-
templated and the troops will be con-
centrated at three points, abandoning
doning all minor posts.
The changes will result in an enor-
nous saving in transportation of sup
plies and the paying of detail barracks
expenses.
At present in most of the towns the
troops are quartered in churches, con-
vents and public and private build
ings, for the Use of which considerable
rentals are paid.

Emperor Nicholas Grants More Liber-

The grant Of more liberal press reg
ulations affords additional proof that
Emperor Nicholas has emancipated
himself from the advisers who still
hold the ideas which prevailed during
the unhappy period that followed the
murder of Alexander l. AS an in
stance Of more benevolent reforms,
the following example is given:
A deputation of editors. led by a
courageous literateur who is no long
er actively connected with the press,
went before his majesty with their
humble petition. Give us press law"
they pleaded. Let it be as your ma
jesty may deem proper, but give us
a law. Let us know where we stand.
Free us from the domination of Off
cials whose will is their only law.
Give us as much freedom as you can
We will not abuse it."
The emperor made a gracious re-
sponsc. The editors and publishers
breathed a deep sigh of relief. But
they were cruelty disappointed. The
reactionary crowd gained the ear of
the emperor An artificial agitation
was started The machinery of gov
ernment and the police were set in
motion. and the emperor was per-
suaded that fanatical elements only
waited for the grant of a modicum of
liberty in order to attack the throne.

NO SEATS TO GIVE OUT.
Will All Be Needed BY Royalty and
Mobiles.

Vigorous preparations for the coro-
nation pageant go on day by day. It
is now said seats in Westminster Alb
bey will all be needed by members of
parliament and that no outsiders will
be admitted.
In former times when the Abbey
was handed over to the decorators and
upholsterers, function of this kind
resulted in much damage to monu-
ments and furniture. Some of the
worst disfigurements of statuary not
ed by the visitors was done by careless
workmen and an effort will be made to
protect the Abbey this time.
While no route has yet been laid
out for the long procession, it is said
the county council has determined to
complete it's long contemplated
scheme of widening Piccadilly from
the Hyde Park corner to the end of
Green park before next spring.
This work will be easy as there
are no buildings to remove and Lon
don has so many parks that a slice of
Green Park can be spared. The bill
embodying the committees much de-
sired recommendation relating to the
kings oath, has been introduced into
the house of lords, but is not likely to
advance far.

San Francisco Badly Tied Up
by Teamsters
FRUIT IS NOW SPOILING
BY the Ton and the Wholesale Commission
Men Are Suffering
Greatly.

San Francisco, July 24.-The dray-
ing business of this city is almost at
a standstill. The teamsters' strike
went into effect yesterday and nearly
1000 teamsters are now idle. On the
water front thousands of tons of
freight are piled up on the docks and
incoming steamers are continually
adding to the congestion. The larger
wholesale dealers. the fruit Gamers
and the canneries have been the most
seriously affected so far. Most of the
smaller establishments having their
own teamsters, were able to get their
freight moved this morning, but this
fact has scarcely any perceptible ef-
feet on the situation. One conse-
quence of the strike, and not the least
serious, is the abrupt fall in the price
OF farm and orchard products. Pota-
toes and fruit suffered the most in
this respect, and the impossibility of
moving large quantities of peaches.
pears and plums made these commOdi-
ties almost unstable at the wharves
this morning. Freight arriving by
rail is in the same situation as that
coming in by the water route.
The business of the local custom
houses is also interfered with. Tons
of dutiable freight are at the docks
awaiting removal to the appraisers
store and the bonded warehouses.
Much of this freight is valuable. It
was announced this afternoon that the
Overland Freight Transfer company
has secured men to drive the trucks
and that customs officers will be de-
tailed to guard them while they are
carrying bonded goods.
Secretary Reuner of the Draymen's
association said: "The draymen have
today employed about 200 men. We
are willing to employ union men, but
We require every applicant for work
to enter an agreement to give willing
and absolute obedience to the orders
of his employers irrespective of his
| union.
"The men have unions, but those
unions are not to run our business for
us, nor to dictate with whom we shall
do business. That is the point and
on that point the draymen's union
while backing the employers assocl-
alton is prepared to carry the contest
to finish.'
The teamsters claim that the en-
ployers' association has inaugurated a
movement to break up every union in
the city. The officers of the brother
hood are confident that they will win
! heir s. rike unaided. However, II
