A REAR ADMIRAL
WILL HEREAFTER COMMAND
PUGET SOUND MAYNARD.
Increased Importance OF This Naval
Depot Nccessitated Comman-
dant of Higher Rank Than Can
tain--.NOw Very Desira bic
Billet.

Washington. July l6.-An order was
issued by the navy department during
the day which raises the command of
the Puget Sound maynard to flag rank.
The order details Rear Admiral Yates
Stirling as commandant of the ward in
place OF Captain William #. Burwell,
who was ordered to take command of
the Batteship Oregon. The department
has for some time been considering the
advisability OF placinga rear admiral in
charge of the Puget Sound yard, on the
ground that since the elevation of the
establishment from naval station a
flag officer is entitled TO be assigned to
this important billet. The change at
Bremerton is far from being a reflection
on Captain Burwlel.
On the contrary the department has
deferred the change for several months,
ostensibly at least because Of the strong
representations made BY leading cit,-
zens of Seattle against detaching so en-
err etc and useful an officer from the
yard.
Yates Stirling was promoted to the
grade of rear admiral Monday. He was
recently commandant of the naval
station at San Juan, Puerto Rico, hay
ing been appointed TO that command
on November 81, 1900, and had much
to do with the development of that sta
ton. Rear Admiral Stirling entered
the naval service in 1860. He is a ma
tive OF Maryland and his present home
is in Baltimore. He has son who is
lieutenant in the navy. Besides this
son and married daughter, his immed-
late family consists OF his wife and two
unmarried daughters, who are noted
beauties OF Baltimore society.
Captain Burwell, who is now number
AS in the list of naval captains, has
been commandment at Bremerton since
July 2, 1900. His last sea duty ended
IN August, 1899. So that under the
three-year rule he is now nearly due
for another term of duty at sea. He
will 60 to the Asiatic station in COM
mand of the Oregon. when that vessel
sails from Bremerton early in the
autumn.
An order was issued detaching Capt.
j. q. Eaton from command of the Ore
gon. and placing him temporarily on
waiting orders.

PUGET SOUND PORTS.
Immense Increase of Exports for
Past Fiscal Year.

Washington, July 1S.-The ports OF
Puget Sound increased their exports OF
breadstuffs to foreign countries by more
than so per cent. during the fiscal year
which closed on June 80, g record far
surprising that OF any other customs
district in the United States. Indeed,
there was actually decline in exports
of breadstuffs during the past year from
the country as a whole, amounting to
more than $62, 900, 900, or about % per
cent. The only port in the United
States that made gain in breadstuffs
shipments last year anywhere near as
large as that OF the Puget Sound region
YVES San Francisco. The gain at that
port was something like IS per cent.
over the record OF the year before.
Only seven customs districts in the
United States made larger foreign ship
meuts of grain and -four than Puget
Sound last year, those districts being
New York, Baltimore. Boston. Newport
News, Philadelphia, New Orleans and
San Francisco. Although San Francis
co.'s exports OF this kind exceeded the
Sounds by nearly 100000 the gain
ia the northwestern district over the
record OF the year before was, rs al
ready stated, much greater. In fact. the
June shipments of breadstuffs from the
Sound were slightly larger than those
from San Francisco. the respective
figures being 1868, 800 and $s647 400.
The total exports OF all breadstuffs
from Puget Sound during the year were
$l2, 646, 1913, and those from San Fran
cisco 17,592,9l0. In exports OF wheat
the Sound district was seventh during
the past fiscal year, the shipments
amounting to $s,624 1853, as against
$40, .94l from San Francisco. The
Sound was sixth in foreign shipments
of wheat -four. however, with record
of $3,6S6, 7sS, San Francisco being
about 1925, 900 less. The Sounds ex-
ports OF oats were 1921, ISL, as against
the insignificant figure Of 81 ,266 for
San Francisco.
A remarkable advance was made by
the Sound ports in the shipments Of
raw cotton during the past fiscal year.
The district advanced from twelfth to
eighth place among the principal cotton
exporting districts.

STRIKE TERMINATES.
Bitter Struggle In Chicago Ends
With Freight Men Losers.

Chicago, July lS.-Renewed activity
on the part of the Chicago business
men followed the settlement of the
and at the close Of business hours at
night thousands of tons OF freight had
been sent to and from the various
freight depots. Every one of the "a, =
900 strikers who could obtain employ
ment had returned to work by .
O clock in the afternoon.
The strike, il is estimated, cost the
business men of Chicago $40. 900 900,
and in order to guard against such a
contingency in the future they are pre-
pared to begin an educational campaign
in opposition to the sympathetic strike.
The labor unions will be asked to fore
go the use of this potent weapon.
The business interests which suffered
through the strike will join in pledging
themselves, it is said. not 10 sign union
agreements which do not guarantee
them against these strikes.
ON the other hand. the labor unions
are fighting to secure the right to abro-
gate agreements Tor the purpose OF
ordering sympathetic strikes.
The freight handlers blame the
national officers of the teamsters for
the loss OF the strike. They declare
that the strike shows the necessity for
incorporation in all agreements re-
servation which will permit strikes.
Credit for the settlement rests with
the state board OF arbitration. 1t was
the adoption OF the suggestion OF that
board which led to the action OF the
freight handlers union in declaring the
struggle with the railroads AT an end
AT the same time il is'probable that
even had the state board not made its
suggestions the fight would have been
practically over now. as the majority of
the freight handlers had returned to
their work before the mass meeting at
which the strike was called off officially
had been convened. 1t was Il knowledge
OF this fact that had much to do with
the action taken by the union. How
ever, the proposition made by the state
board of arbitration enabled the freight
handlers TO retire gra cefully from the
field. though they lost what they had
fought for

ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE BREW

General Tung Flu HsianG. with
Thousands of Troops, and Prince
Tuan. With His Boxer HOrdes,
Threaten the Dragon Throne
and Cause apprehension.

Victoria, b. c., July 1S.-Far away
in Ninghsia, a walled city of Mongolia,
General Tung Flu Hsiang, ex-Boxer and
leader of many thousands OF Chinese
bannermen Prince Tuna, ex-B Boxer and
leader OF the hordes who planned to
massacre all the foreigners in Picking
during the time of the horror OF the
Boxer outbreak, and Ian Kung, another
notorious Boxer leader, are arming
their thousands of followers, including
the army OF General Tung Flu Hsiang
which was ordered disbanded by the
government, but which took its arms
and refused to disbani, and a rebellion
is being planned which has for its OBJ
ject the invasion of Picking and the
placing of Tung Flu Hsiang on the
Chinese throne. This is the startling
news received by local Chinese in
letters from China.
From Picking correspondents reports
are received that the relatives of Prince
Tuan there are greatly alarmed as a re-
snlt of his intended coup, for his union
with the rebels means the falling of the
knife an the neck of his grand parents.
parents, sons, daughters and all family
connections - determination of men,
bers of the family within reach of Pek-
ing. One of the family is a Christian.
and she informed the missionaries re-
Gently that death was near to her as a
result of the intended action OF Prince
Tuan.
Tung Flu Hsiangs life has been de-
clared forfeit to the throne, he having
detied his rulers, and now all Peking
knows that he is planning desperate
game, and even looking to the throne
for himself. That he will act soon is
regarded as certain by the Chinese, for
he cannot maintain his army long in
idleness. They are now seeking to form
an alliance with the rebels who are in
the field in South Chill, where the acts
OF the troops sent against them by the
government has aroused the rebels to a
barbaric fury. A massacre took place
at Wei Hsien, in which 1000 innocents
were killed. The towns people seeing
soldiers and fearing attack closed the
city gates. This excited suspicion OF
the troops. The people fled to the south
gate, and met another section OF the
imperial troops-and death.
The Picking correspondent OF the
Shanghai Mercury reports that 1900 of
these unarmed, innocent, helpless
women and children were slain-an in
justice which brought hundreds OF vii
layers to the rebel ranks.
There is much alarm among the Chi
nese merchants at Picking, according to
their letters for the belief is growing
that troublous times are soon to come
again for China, and in this connection
the future acts of Tung Flu Hsiang are
more to be dreaded than any of the ex-
listing disturbances. There are, how
ever, disquieting elements to be consid.
cred. Two great secret societies are
growing in favor and numbers. the pur-
pose of one being the restoration of the
emperor, and of the other the complete
overthrow of the Manchus and the
browning OF Chinese ruler.

OIL TANKS BURN.
The Jennings Field Threatened
With Destruction.

New Orleans, July 17.-News from
Jennings, La, says that the fire at Jen-
nings we'll No. 2. is still raging, bu,
that the gate valve has not given away.
Those who are fighting the fire are now
planning to surround the burning we'll
with boiler and to attempt to snuff
the fire out with steam.
Jennings. La. July 16.-During a
heavy electrical storm that passed over
the Jennings oil field today bolt OF
lightning struck the field storage tanks
of the Jennings Oil Company, setting
them on fire. The flames spread to the
derricks OF the company adjoining, and
in short time the derricks and tanks
were destroyed. Burning streams of oil
from the tanks ran in the direction OF
Coulee. All workmen on the field i'm.
mediately stopped operations and set
about throwing up levees, SO as to pre-
vent, as far as possible, the spreading
OF the fire.
In short time. however. another
tank had broken loose and the wind
had driven the flames into the derricks
of the Southern. Northern and Crescent
Oil Companies, but they in some man.
ner escaped destruction. The fire is
still raging and the safety OF the field
depends on the strength OF Jennings No.
=. The oil is leaking round this tank
and, together with the gas. is burning
fiercely, sending blaze high into the
air. and the entire field is threatened.
The fire has burned all the packing
out OF the valves, upon which SO much
depends, and the flames are spouting
as high as the derrick. 1t is feared the
top OF the pipe will burn off and the
flames will spread to the derricks and
the adjoining tanks.
