GIANTS MAY COME AGAIN
A Wonderful Food Which Causes
 Phenomenal Growth

Chicago-An age of a race of giants is about to be ushered in again. Henceforth there will be no pigmies, for wonderful food substance has been discovered that makes men and animals grow-grow fast and large.
 Myt>s that have come down from ancient days tell of races of giants which inhabited the earth or dwelt on the islands of the sea. History, as constructed from old records and folk lore, is filled with stories of Electors and Herculeses and Goliaths and Samsons and Cyclopses. Science has proved that the animals of the earth were once fai larger than at present, and in museums may be seen skele tons of mammoths and mastodons that lived on prehistoric earth and of awful leviathans which dwelt in the seas thereof.
 The giant men and monstrous ami
 mals may all return again as the re-
 suit of the newly discovered food sub
 stance which stimulates growth so
 rapidly. The new food is lecithin. Its
 wonderful qualities have just been
 demonstrated by series of experi-
 ments conducted by Dr. Shinkishi
 Hatai, professor of neurology at the
 Univels sity of Chicago. Dr. Haitai
 experimented with whitelrats, and oy
 feeding them lecithin made them
 grow 60 per cent faster than rats grow ordinarily. Scientists say that leci- thin will have a. similar effect on human beings.
 l Lecithin, is according to the defini- ton given by Dr. Waldemar Rock, an "organic phosphorus-containing the body found in eggs, brain matter and l the white corpuscles of blood." t The professors experiments show , that the growth induced by lecithin is normal and healthy. It stimulates : all parts and organs of the body s exactly alike, thus acting unlike other f stimulants which affect different or y gans of the body in different ways.

admitted to have, to: some extent, affected the fiscal figures, but they are not likely to form serious factor.
 Much attention is devoted to the tin plate industry and the effect of the Dingley and Mckinley tariffs. The figures show that the total exports of tin from the United Kingdom have declined only little over s5,ooO, 900 since 1897, with marked increase in the quantity produced and in the value of number of mills since 1S9S.

CHINA WILL CLAIM DAMAGES
Result of the Outrages by Mob at
 TonOpah

Washington-The Chinese govern ment will make claim against the government of the United States on account of injuries inflicted by resi- dents of Ton opah, New, upon Chire residents of that place last Wednes- day. The Chinese minister has tele- graphed the Chinese consul general at San Francisco to send him as many affidavits as he can secure showing the names of the persons injured and the nature oi their injuries, as well as any property loss they might have suffered. These afiidavits will be used as the basis of claim against the government.
 A telegram was received at the state department from the governor Of Nevada regarding this attack, saying that he had ordered an immediate in- vestigation and will take every ] caution looking to the safety of the Chinese residents of Tonopah. A copy of this telegram will be sent to the Chinese minister for his information.
 Tonopah, Nev.-Eighteen men are now under arrest, charged with melt ing riot, robbery and murder, follow ing the attempt of Tuesday night tt run the Chinese out of town. Three of the Chinese have identified four O. the men, named Randall, Lang
 Bradshaw and Sinks, as their assail
 ants. The three latter are walters.

AFRAID OF THE DEBRIS
Permission to Work Gravel by the
 Sluicing Process Refused

Sacramento-The executive commit tee of the State Anti-Debris associa tion has refused to grant an applica- tion made by a representative of eastern capitalists to work the Blue Point mine, in Yuta county. The mine, which is owned by Patrick Campbell, is now closed under an in- junction.
 l.; is desired to work the mine by a new process and to install some new machinery, but before doing so cer- tain slide of gravel, amounting to about 80, GOO cubic yards, must be re- moved by the sluice process, and the petitioners sought to get the consent eff the association for its removal, so that the parties removing it would not be in contempt of court.
 The Campbell mine is situated above the barriers now being con- structed by the federal and state gov ernments near Deguerre point, on the Yuba river, and for which work the federal and state governments have appropriated $500, GOO. The Anti Debris association thought that to wash down the gravel would impair the navigability of the Sacramento river.

Russian Troops Called Out to Quell
 Trouble

St. Petersburg-Fierce fights be- tween Jews and. Christians, in which four Christians and two Jews were killed and many persons were serious lysinjured, areSrreported from Gomela, in the government of Moghileff.
 The disturbances occurred on Sep tember Il, from dispute between peasant and a Jewish dealer. Inc police intervened and, according to the version published here, the Jews threw stones and fired on the police, several of whom were injured. The disturbances were renewed three days later, some Jewish booths being de- molished. The Jews attempted to prevent the destruction of the booths and twenty persons were injured on both sides. Troops then arrived on the scene and were received with shots from the Jews. The military returned ths fire and ultimately restored order.

SHAMROCK Il SOLD
The Craft is to Be Broken Up for
 the Value of the Material

New York-It is stated, in connec- tion with reports from Chicago, that Captain Miller, who was skipper Of the yacht Columbia during the sum- mer and Captain Barr's assistant on the Reliance during the cup races, has bought from Sir Thomas Lipton the.old cup challenger Shamrock Il.
 The price paid for the hull was not known, but it is believed that it was not far from S7O00. The yacht has been ion the shore at Erie Basin for nearly two years, and while being protected from weather as far as practicable Ihas become less and less valuable by corrosion. The purchaser will break her up for the value of the material.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY
Finlay Attempts to Show Where Line
 Should Run

London-When the Alaskan boun- dary commission resumed its sessions Attorney General Finlay was subjected by War Secretary Root and Senators Lodge and Turner to a fire of ques- tions in connection with his attempt to show that the boundary should run from the head of the Portland canal directly westward to the point where th. mountains claimed by the Canad- ians Ias the boundary, intersect the Beth parallel o2 latitude. The conten- tion of the United States :is that the boundary continues up to Bear river valley from the head of Portland canal to the 5sth parallel. In this connection MT. Root called the attor- ney generals attention to the fact that Vancouver referred to Marsel Pass as the head of the canal, and asked him if it was not natural to sup pose that the signatories of the treaty intended to follow the pass of the 56th 
 degree.
 The attorney general replied that the line under the treaty could not run further than the water canal and from that point must seek the mount aims of the Seth parallel. Senator Lodge suggested that this would near that the line must cross the mountains to reach the points described in tho Canadian case, which the attorne! general evaded touching upon.
 The attorney general then passed
 to the discussion of the location O
 the line between the fifty sixth paralle
 to Mount St. Elias, asserting Una if the contention of the United State
 that the boundary should go aroun' the heads of the inlet, was admitted then, correspondingly, Canada shoul' gain by the tribunals deciding tha the line should follow ten marin leagues from the shores of penlnsulas : Judge John M. Dickinson, of Amer
 ican consul, said the United State
 was contending only for the heads
 inIets and not. beyond, the attorne
 general having raised the point thf f the American claim for tidewater
 the boundary put the boundary ff
 into the interior of Canada.

DECREASE IN US. EXPORTS
STATISTICS SHOW DECLINE OF
 FOREIGN TRADE
The Income From Foreign Investments Said to Offset the Adverse Balance of Trade Against Great Britain.

nersonal views on the fiscal problem, contained in the pamphlet on "lnsular Free Trade" advance sheets of which have been issued, came the ione- nrom;sed. and much demanded gov ernment statistics dealing with tna' snb,ect. They were issued by the board of trade, in the shape or d olue book of nearly 800 pages of bewilder- ing tables of figures, showing the various aspects of British and foreign trade and the industrial conditions No Reductions were drawn, though the publication teens with interesting notes upon what are regarded as polnts of fact. The references to foreign trade were confidentially credited to Germany, France and the United States.
 The Pall Mall Gazette says it under stands the cabinet has concluded tne consideration of its fiscal position and its policy in regard thereto; that ao further cabinet meeting will be held for the present, probably not until late in the autumn. and that Colonlal Secretary Chamberlain will proceed with his expository program. The paper adds:
 "It will probably be found that he has modified his proposals so as to bring them into harmony with MT. Balfour's views as set forth ln the pamphlet. The main feature of MT. Chamberlain's modifictions will be the disappearance of all suggestions in the direction of further taxation ol food stuffs and raw material.
 Consideration of the war commis sion's report is reserved for future meetings of the cabinet. "
 The Pall Malt Gazette believes it il still possible that there will be more than one resignation in the cabinet.
 One of the most important phase dealt with in the blue book are i'm ports and exports. The tables shoS that exports from the United Kingdom to the United States declined iron sl45, ,OOO, GOO in 1890 to s97, 300, 900 il 1902. while the imports rose fror s5s5, ,OoO, GOO to s635, 900. GOO. The tota exports to all foreign countries de cIined in the same period S9O, GOO, OO( though when the colonies are include the decline amounts to only So, GOO, GOO.
 The proportion of the United King dom exports as between protected an unprotected countries Tn the marke, of the world has been reversed sine 1850. Then it was 56 per cent to tf protected countries and A per cent the others. In 1902 the proportion WI 42 per cent to the protected countri and 5S per cent to the others.
 A valuable bit of information
 given on the quoted excess of impor over exports. which has so often bet held sign of British trade declin The blue book says that while the @ cess yearly averages about $500, oo( OJO. the income receivable from fo eign investments, calculated at s3l: 5OO,OOO, added to the earnings of t British merchant fleet engaged
 foreign trade, calculated at S45O, OO' 900, "is probably more than sufiicie to account for the average excess
