without saying that such a step would
be a direct breach of the declaration of

NEW TOBACCO COMPANY.
American and Continental Firms Ex-
pected to Unite.

New York, June 4.-The Journal of Com
merce says:
It is reported that a new tobacco com
pany is to be formed which is to take
over both the American and Continental
companies and also the new cigar COM
pany recently organized and now acquir
ing various cigar plants throughout the
country. Another rumor is that there will
be a large increase in the capital stock
of the American company for the purpose
of acquiring the Continental Tobacco
and Cigar company.
Some surprise is expressed at these rl-
mors, it was only a short time ago
that the American Tobacco company
separated its plug tobacco business from
it's smoking and cut tobacco business,
transferring the former to the Continent
tai company. The American company also
recently amended its bylaws so as to
permit of the guarantee notes of subsi-
diary companies whose stock it might
own.
1t is widely believed, as already stated
that the Universal Tobacco company now
being organized is to be taken over
either by the American company or CONT
mental company, or by both Jointly.

Lands of California.

San Francisco, June THE Examiner
says:
There can be no doubt that there is in
process of formation, a combination,
having for it's ultimate object the gath
ering in of all the red wood interests on
this coast The capital of this eombina-
ton will be somewhere between Is and
20 million dollars, and the men who rep
resent the capitalists in the project are
in this city today. The land which it is
proposed to acquire is in the three great
red wood counties of the state, the ac-
reage being distributed as follows:
Humboldt 100000 acres; Mendocina.
500, 600 acres and Del Norte 125, 000 a to-
tai of ], $4,000 acres.

Der company of Eureka, and who is now
building new planning mills and a sash

concerned in the proposed com bination.

quired, and there are in addition other
large companies owning jointly over
150, 900 acres which will become part of

is Hugh BeIlas, who is now at the Pal
ace hotel and has been here since Janu-
airy last except on occasions of his Wis

every large lumberman in the United
States and his acquaintance in the 1um-

from Golden, B. c., says that Frank
Lascelles. a wealthy English ranch own
err residing on Thunder Hill, shot and
killed his Chinese cook. Isascelles is re-
lated to the Earl of Hardwood and

ambassador to Germany.
Lascelles became demented through
brooding over a fancied insult in connec-
ton with his being called to give evil
dence in a suit over the ownership of a
horse, and accused his cook, who had
served him for five years, of being a
burglar. After his arrest Lascelles be-
came a raving maniac. Special interest
is taken in the affair throughout British

NO LAND GRABBING
In Case China Fails to Pay Her
Debts.

Debts.
New York, June A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Concessions granted by China to other
nations in treaties to be negotiated as
the concluding chapter of the Chinese
crisis viii be enjoyed by the United
States under the most favored nation
clause to be inserted in the convention
this government will present for sigma
ture. Immediately upon the settlement
of the indemnity question the revision
of treaties viii be considered It is prae-
tically certain that the powers will not
be willing to negotiate a single treaty
with China though identical treaties
may be drawn up Officials of the adj
ministratiOn believe that the powers viii
prefer to negotiate separate treaties Ii
this is done, different concessions will be
demanded. This government proposes
to demand reasonable safeguards for
American interests, but in order to in
sure that the United States may not suf-
fer in consequence of advantages OBJ
tanned by other governments. a clause
will be inserted providing that any con-
cessions granted to other nations will be
enjoyed by the United States
Tt is the impression of administration
officials that the ministers in Pekin will
be ordered by their governments to ac-
cept the British proposal regarding the
method to be pursued in the settlement
of the indemnity demand The British
proposed an issue Of bonds at 4 per cent
interest, each power to dispose as it saw
fit of the bonds it received in payment
of its share of the indemnity. It is prac-
tically certain that a proposition viii be
agreed to prohibiting individual action
or seizure of territory in case China
should fail to pay the interest

TO KEEP OUT CHINESE.
Extra Immigrant Inspectors to Be
Sent to Porto Rico.

Washington, June Assistant Secre-
tary Taylor, Of the treasury department,
and Commissioner General Powderly
have decided to send three immigrant in
spectors TO Porto Rico for permanent
duty. It is feared that the recent de-
cisi0n of the supreme court in the in
Sular cases may stimulate Chinese I'M
migration to Porto Rico, with the idea
that once there they can not be denied
admission to the United States. The
collectors Of customs hitherto have act
ed as inspectors and viii continue to do
so, but the need for additional help in
keeping out the Chinese is apparent to
the officials and from now on the ex-
clusion laws will be more rigidly en-
forced.

JONAH TALE WAS A JOKE.
Doctor Lyman Abbott's New View Of
q Bible Story.

Ithaca. N. T., June 4.-In his address
before the students and faculty of Cor
nell university the Reverend Lyman Alb
bolt scored Christian Science in a rath-

Scientist can remove a toothache or any
other painful sensation. The pain is
there and exists independently of Chris
tan Science or any other science, than
that by which the aching part is re-
moved by a forceDs.
Doctor Abbott said he did not regard
the book of Genesis as historically cor
rect, and that every part of the Bible
was written through divine inspiration
for some purpose. The story of Jonah
and the whale was written to provoke
11umor, and thus, by means of satire,
puncture the narrowness of the He
hreVVs.
