American boats have done a large and profitable business between Seattle and Nome, carrying between such ports as Vancouver, Victoria and Skagway. It has been decided by the government that there is enough British and Canadian tonnage on the coast to look after the trade and the same coasting regulation has been put into force for the Facific coast as applies to the Atlantic WOMEN FIGHT HIGH MEAT.

TROOPS ARE HUSHED

TOT Bandits Operating with Insurrectionists, and Federal Soldiers Are Sent to Crush Them. UNITED STATES IS NEUTRAL. State Department Will Make Effort to See that Neutrality Laws Are Enforced. Bands of revolutionists are making things interestingly warm in Xorthern Mexico, not far from the American line. Government troops have been rushed to the scene. Fifteen hundred federal soldiers have reached Tor"eon to reenforce the garrison there, 200 more have reached Juarez, and in Chihuahua soldiers are patrolling the streets and the public houses and jails are guarded. The Mexican ambassador to the United States, Enrique C Creel, has been ordered back to Washington, where be will ask the government that any of the revolutionary ringleaders who may be caught on this side of the boundary line shall bo tried for a violation of the neutrality laws. There Is precedent for such a course. IE' THE ECLIPSE Xo well-defined reasons are gfven for the trouble in the Southern republic. This so-called revolution bad its counterpart just sixteen years ago, when Caterino E. Garza led a band of Mexicans and Mexican-Texans against an nnny post just over the border and put most of the garrison to death. Garza crossed the Bio Grande into the United States, and for two years his followers, taking advantage of the cover of the chaparral, kept Southern Texas in a turmoil until finally they were rounded .up and captured by American troops, i It is charged by the Mexican. authorities that the bands which are causing the present trouble were recruited in large part in the United States. Texas has been the haven In the past of Mexicans watching their "revolutionary opportunity." and there probably is a basis for the charge that the United States In this Instance was the scene of the chief plotting and the base of the first operations. This government within the last two years has made several arrests of Mexican who were known to be inciting rebellion against the rule of. Diaz from the supposed security of American soil. The arrests apparently did not accomplish the end sought. The restless part of the Xorthern Mexican population has Had grievances largely - local in thiTr nature which they have expanded into grievances against the'Piaz government and against the existing order of things generally. The insurgents, it Is said, have 'flexi northward after a defeat at the bauds of a force of Mexican regulars. If they have had their strength broken asan organized force, which Is not at all certain, they may follow the Garza example, take to a mountain or a chaparral fastness and become bandits pure and simple. The Garza uprising cost the United States government a lot of monepy. Troops were In the field along the Bio Grande for at least two years lefore the outlaws finally were rounded up and sent to prison. These Xorthern Mexican troubles are a concern to two governments. In one or two uprisings In the past the United States hag lHen the chief sufferer. Our State Department is now carefully watching developments. The department officials fe.d that the trouble will be adjusted satisfactorily and every effort will bo made for the preservation of neutrality. Fori' Gnnn Do Accidental Dnmaicc It was estimated that Uncle Sam would have to pay for about $20,000 damage done to private property by the concus sion caused by the target practice at Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth in Xew York bay. While the big guns were grounding imaginary fleets off shore hundreds of broken windows and tumbling ceilings recorded the result on land. One woman was seriously hurt by a falling ceiling in Bath Beach. Ocean liners were held up and the big Lusitanin, coming to a sudden halt, grounded on a mud bank and was delayed for some time. During the week elalorate army maneuvers were conducted by Gen. Grant with several thousand regulars and militia at Pine Plains, X. Y. Knitlnnd'a Record Ilatfleahlp. Having already outclassed all existing battleship and battleship plans by the construction of the St. Yincent. which will be launched in October. P.KiO, it is now reported that England will break this record by laying, in September next, the kvel for a still larger war craft. The St. Yincent is of 19.2,") tons and will cost $D,T00,000, while the later model will be of 21,000 tons and will cost $11,2fO,0O0. The latter will be equipped with gas engines and will consequcnTty have no funnels. A Fortune for the eedjr. C W. Averill, 0 Los Angeles man of moderate wealth, who is said to have just inherited a fortune of $10,0K,OO from an aunt in Massachusetts, saj-s that he prpos-es to make 20.000 people happy by giving them the cash help they deserve, and will open headquarters in an eastern city to begin the distribution. A novel feature of his plans is his purpose to help "bad people," on the theory that the good are taken care of by the churches and charity. He wants to help the exconvicts, the intemperate and the fallen women. A Pipe Line fro a Illinois. The Tidewater Pipe Line Company, which operates a 0-inch pipe from Bradford, in the Pennsylvania oil region, to the Seaboard at Bayonne, X. J., has contracted to build at once an extension of this line across Xorthern Ohio into the Illinois oil field at Bobinson at a cost of $2,r00,00O. When completed this will be the first time that oil has been pumied from Illinois direct to the seaboard. William Kent of Chicago, class of 1887; J. Pienont Morgan and Senator Spooner of Wisconsin were given honorary degrees as doctors of law by Yale College.

SHADOW ON THE SUN.

Annular Eclipse Visible All Over North America. The recent eclipse of the sun. where not olwcured by clouds, was visible all over Xorth America. The eclipse was annular and little iitortance was attached to the phenomenon by scientists. Some interest was attached to the sun's submersion, however, from the fact that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Xeptune and Jupiter are in a cluster near the sun and could be seen In the western horizon shortly after sunset This iieculiarity is not expected to be repeated again In several hundred year, although it Is said to mean nothing astronomically. With field glasses or opera glasses, with a colored or snjoked glass over the ends,, it was possible to see the mountains and valleys of the moon. The sun served as a strong background to bring out the irregular outlines of the moon. The outlines indicated how irregular the moon's surface Is in a striking silhouette. Down In Tampa, Fla.i In Mexico City, or in the Bermuda Islands observers of the eclipse had a much better opportunity to appreciate it. At these places and in a strip about ninety miles wide the eclipse was seen directly In the center of the sun. The outer Ige of the sun encircled the shadowed part. This icculiarity of the eclipse gives the name "annular"' to it. When the moon appears exactly In front of the sun the annular or ring phase is visible.
