In Chinese Question Pre-
dicted by Mr.. Barrett,
United States viii Deal Honor.
, ably With Chinese. /
No Cause for Alarm Over The pr,su
Boycott Of American Goods.

San Francisco. Aug. 4.-John Bar.
rett, the newly appointed minister 10
Colombia. is here in connection with
the commercial relations existing be.
tween the United States and China
particularly as regards the boycott in.
augurated by Chinese guilds against
American products.
He insists, however, that his mission
is not of an official character. but sim
ply to acquairt himself with the feeling
Of the people of the coast as to the
boycott and interview some Of the
merchants who are engaged in the
Oriental trade.
Minister Barrett, while concedinc
that the Chinese guilds are all power
full in their country, is of the opinion
that the alarm shown by the people o.
this country over the action of the
Chinese Is unnecessarily exaggerated.
He firmly believes that whatever
grievances the Chinese guilds have
will soon be dispelled when they are
made to realize that our government
is disposed to act fairly with them in
the matter of immigration.
He is also of the opinion that our
future policy as regards the Orient
will depend much upon the results OF
the peace conference between the rep
resentatives of Japan and Russia and
predicts that the next two years win
witness great change in the policy
Of the United States. Such a change
will be attended with a noticeable i'm
provcment Of our commercial relations
in the Far East

to blow up a ship in mid-ocean has
been reported by Capt. c. Touse of the
French ship Asnieres, which has ar

miners to explode charges of dynamite
were discovered in the hold of the shin
among the coal. Had one of the fuses
become ignited by shock in a part Of
the hold where coal gas had accurlu-

been blown to atoms. Two or three
of them had exploded but fortunately
at points where there was no gas and
consequently no damage was done.
The presence of the fuses in the coal
was discovered only by accident.

clergyman who pursuts his noble
calling in a country parish in Iowa
tells Of his coffee experience:
MY wife and used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently foc dinner and
occasionally for supper-always tho
very best quality-package coffee never
could find place on our table.
I'm the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty i'll stopping.
ut seemed to come from coffee drink
ing but we could not decide.
I'm the following July, however. she
Tas attacked a second time by the
vomiting. 1 was away from home fill
ing an appointment. at the time, and on
my return 1 found her very low; sha
had literally vomited herself almost to
death. and it took soma days to quiet
the trouble and restore her stomach.
Il had also experienced the same
trouble. but not so violently. and had
relieved it, each time, by a resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fled me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles. and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee. The old symp-
toms Of disease disappeared and during
the nine years that we have been using
Postum instead of coffee we have never
had a recurrence of the vomiting. We
never weary of Postum, to which we
know we owe our good health. This is
