WASHINGTON, Jan. 14—A letter re- ceived here from a naval officer indicates that Captain Hall, accused of cowardice at Peking, is a victim of petticoat diplo- macy. Captain Hall was in command of the marines from July 3, when Captamn Meyers was wounded, until the siege of | Pexing ended. “I believe the charges,” said the naval officer, ““grew out of the fact that the| marines would not take off their hats to the, wife of the First Secretary. There| was much feeling on the part of non-com- | missioned officers and privates against the | Kirst Secretary and his wife and justly in my opinion. “It seems that the Chinese steward of | Mr. Conger told our marines that there | had been a row between Mrs. Conger and | the wife of the First Secretary because | Mrs. Conger wanted to send the marines on the wall some of the canned goods which the marines had themselves cap- tured and turned into the general store | in the British Legation. Mrs. First Sec- | | retary refused to send anything, and so, according to the Chinese steward, the| ladies stopped speaking to one another. “Our marines thus got the impression that Mrs. Conger was their friend and | that the’ wife of the First Secretary was not, and the marines used to stand at at- tention when Mrs. Conger passed in at the Legation gate, while they did not when | the First Secretary's wife entered. | “‘One day during the siege, as the wife of the Secretary passed through the Lega- tion gate from the Eritish Legation and the marines did not stand at attention, she took them to task, calling them ‘bums and tramps' and saying that they were | not fit to be soldiers. ‘‘Passing into the Legation grounds and seeing Captain Hall asleep in a chair she awakened him by calling, ‘Captain Hall, your men do not salute me. They are Boers." | “Captain Hall said: ‘I am sorry, | | madam, that they are not polite, but that is a matter I cannot control’ or words to t.

Filcher, secretary of the State Board of Trade, addressed the convention. | He sald that If the prejudices of the French could be brushed aside France, which was a nation of wine drinkers, would offer a great market for California wine. It was a fact not generally known, sald Mr. Filcher, that in France good wines commanded as high a price as they | did in this country, and the masses drank | the vilest product imaginable. He dwelt upon the good results of the exhibits of California wines and fruits at Paris, and sald that markets were being found for our products in all parts of the globe. The afternoon session closed with a talk | on “Immigration” by Willlam E. Smythe, vice president of the Water and Forest | Assoclation. Mr. Smythe defined the classes of immigration which came to Cal- ifornia and suggested means of keeplns it here, The address evoked a general dis- cussion. INTERESTS THE COAST.

Last summer I felt so badly that I thought I had not long to live. I consulted doctor after doctor and took their medicines, but feit no better. The physicians told me my kidneys were not affected, but I felt sure that they were the cause of my trouble. A friend recommended me to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, and I must say I derived immense benefit most from the first week.
