NO BOYCOTT BY CHINESE.
Minister Conger Ridicules Talk Of
Revenge for Exclusion.

Leavenworth, Kan, May 26.-Edwin
H. Conger, ex-minister to China, is
visiting his daughter at Fort Lcaven-
worth. Mr.. Conger is on his way to
his new post in Mexico. "Tne talk of
the Chinese retaliating against the ex-
clusion claw by boycotting American
made goods is amusing to me-" said
Mr.. Conger today. "Of course you
know how American politics are run
we'll, the Chinese were politicians, be-
fore America was discovered. They
know more tricks than their American
brethren.
"While much of the agitation has
occurred since 1 left China, there was
some prior to that. At these mass
meetings of merchants, as they were
called, there was liberal sprinkling Of
politicians and possibly one or more
merchants who had been run in. The
politicians did most of the talking and
then the news was spread broadcast
that the merchants would boycott
American goods.
'tI believe that the truth of the mat
ter is that the Chinese merchants have
no idea of boycotting American goods.
They are in business to make money,
and there is demand for American
gOOds''

COMING WITH GREAT RUSH.
Kansas Farmers Swarm to Buy Tick.
cts to Fair.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 25. = The
sale of special rate tickets to Portland,
Or, opened SO briskly as to astonish
the local railroad officials. From the
number of tickets purchased, it is ap-
parent that passenger traffic to the Pa
cific coast will be heavier than was
anticipated. One of the city ticket
agents, in speaking 81 this today, said
''It indicates that this part of the
country is exceptionally prosperous.
We had men come in here today from
little towns out in Kansas who are
going to Portland and will take their
whole families with them. This early
rush for tickets is not only big adver-
tisement for the Lewis and Clark expo
sition, but a big adv ectisement for
Kansas. Farmers are prosperous, and
they know of no better way to spend
their superfuous coin, apparently, than
to visit Oregon"

Chicago Police Resort to Clubs
to Preserve Peace.
BUILDING TRADES ARE INVOLVED
: No Prospect of Immediate Settlement
and Mayor and Peace Com
mittee Give Up Hope.

Chicago, May 27.-Rioting broke out
afresh today in the teamsters' strike,
and although nobody was seriously
hurt, there were a number of vicious
fights in the lumber district, during
which the police were compelled to use
their clubs, and in one instance revolv-
ers, in order to disperse the mob.
The strike today spread in small
degree throughout the building trades.
There were a number of instances
where woodworkers refused to receive
the material delivered by non-union
teamsters and walked out. This move
in every instance was made by the men
as individuals only. No official action
was taken by any of the trades unions
looking to the active sympathetic sup
port of the teamsters' strike. Several
E of the labor leaders in the ranks of the
material trades have declared within
the last "a hours that there is no pros
pect in their opinion, of any complete
tie up of the building trades by strike
of the men.
There is no movement at present
looking towards a settlement of the
strike. Mayor Dunno today for the
first time since the commencement OF
the teamsters' strike declared that be
knew of no contemplated plans for
peace. The mayor talked as though he
had abandoned hopes of a settlement

Peace committee, appointed week ago,

ceased work, as the committees could

employers.

RECLAMATION OF KLAMATH
United States Engineer Starts for the
Field to Push the Work.

tSs4 ~ ASss hhS 49, ~
San Francisco, CAL, May 26.-E. G..
Perkins, an engineer in the United
States reclamation service, geological
lett tonight for the north,
where he is to start the enormous re-
clamation works in the Klamath basin,
for which the sum of 81, 400, 900 has
been appropriated.
This work will probably be the larg-
est in this part of the country, and the
land that is to be reclaimed will be
able to support a population of at least
100, ZOO souls.
There is to be little delay in the be-
ginning of the reclamation project, and
Mr.. Perkins is going north to look over
the ground and commence operations.
According to estimates of engineers
there is embraced in Klamath basin s.
sos acres of public lands and 42,825
acres of private lands, making a total
of 48, $50 acres. The valleys of Langell,
Alkai and Poor will be reclaimed, and
as this land is said to be among the
richest in this part of the country, il
will not be matter of difficulty to gel
people to settle there.
1t is only within the past few years
that the cattlemen have attempted te
cultivate that land. For years it was
given over to the pasturing of stock and
the only feed that was given the cattle
during the winter months was from the
tule hay cut on the borders of Tult
lake. Some few years ago company
brought water on the land along thu
northern shores of Tule lake and alfalfa
was planted and also orchards wer'
put in.

Treatment of Bright's Disease.

Treatment of Bright's Disease.
A person suffering from chronic kid
ney disease is the victim Of serious
malady, and Of course should not at
tempt to manage his own case if he
would avoid the proverbial reproach
of the man who is his own doctor or
lawyer. Yet in a disease of such long
continuance the physician cannot ord1-
narily be in such constant attendance
as in cases Of acute disease, and In
the intervals of his visits the patient
can often aid very materially in the
treat If he is familiar with the
general principles upon which 1t Is
based
The main object of treatment is to
guard the crippled kidney from any
thing that will further injure it or tax
its enfeebled powers of elimination.
To this end the diet should be very
carefully regulated. Eggs, meat, rich
or highly seasoned dishes, or alcoholic
beverages, should be permitted only in
the smallest quantities. The ideal food
for a sufferer from Brights disease Is
milk. since it meets nearly all the re-
ouirements of food which can be di-
gested readily and leaves the smallest
amount, of waste material, and at the
same time f1ushes the kidneys, wash

still more the already damaged tissues

Most persons can take milk readily
and digest it easily, but some either do

POCKETS FOR WOMEN.
Desirable but Almost Unattainable
ConsummatiOn.

Desirable but Almost Unattainab1e
Contamination.
For one blessing man is env1able-
his pockets. Woman occasionally has
pocket, but she can't use it. Put in
pocket" she pleads, and the dress
maker sends home the new skirt with
a pocket slowed away in the recesses
of hook-up placket hole. 1t is not a
workable pocket for three reasons:
First, it bulges if there is even a
handkerchief in it, destroying the SYM
metry Of the outline.
Second, things aimed at it rarely sue
ceed in forcing an entrance, but fall
alongside, downward, with a whack on
the floor.
Third, who could tumble through a
whole row of hooks and eyes, placed
in the center seam at the back? As q
trifing obstacle in the way of blind
manipulation it may be mentioned that
such hooks are usually of a tricky
patent or they would not stay fasten-
ed at all.
At the hem Of the garment, under
the foundation frill, pockets like a
tiny crescent-shaped pouch may also
| be found lurking. A handkerchief can
repose in one in safety, merely involv-
| ing some suppleness in the owner, who
must execute a kind of dive in with
drawing and reinserting it. A silk
foundation sometimes accommodates
quite practical-looking receptacle. to
which the unwary at first intrust even
