which the Elks are now holding there.
Interest in the Portland carnival in
creases every day. There are few Elks
now who are not working like hired men
to make the fair the biggest thing ever
held here. Other citizens are catching
the enthusiasm, and by the time the
opening day comes around It is predicted
that everybody in town will be in line
doing what he can to make -the carnival
a success.
The barrels for rubber goods will be put
it Monday. Other schemes for raising
fronds are brewing. The cigar sales al
ready arranged for promise to yield a
largo profit. It Is I. Slchol's store, at
Fourth and Washington, and not S.
Slchel's, that will be operated, along with
those of B. B. Rich, on that occasion, for
the benefit of the fund.
PORT OF PORTLAND.
Proposition to Sell the Old Cltr
Dredge Referred to the Council.
At the meeting of the Board of Com
missioners of the Port of Portland yes
terday. President Wilcox presided, and
Commissioners Brown, Hill, Flanders,
Hughes and Williams were present.
The qucsjon of what disposition was to
be made of the old city dredge was dis
cussed at some length.
It was concluded that there was but
slight probability of any such dredge being-
needed for a long time, and It was
therefore not advisable to rebuild the
dredge. The commission has been to con
siderable expense in keeping a watchman
on the old dredge, and concluded that It
-would be best to sell it, an offer having
been received from an "old junk" man
for her and the old machinery of the ten
der Louise Vaughn. As It appeared that
the dredge was conveyed by the city to
the commission conditionally, the Clerk
was Instructed to write to the Mayor and!
Common Council asking for authority to
sell the dredge to pay" what expenses she
haa Incurred and to devote the balance
to dredging the river.
The desirability of placing some $10,000
or $20,000 Insurance on the dredge Port
land, was discussed. It was decided that
marine insurance was not neccssarj', and
fire insurance was objected to on the
ground that only actual loss would bo
paid, and If it became necessary to scut
tle the dredge, nothing would be allowed
for raising her. The commission has been
accumulating an Insurance fund by car
rying the Insurance on the dredge, and
tais now amounts to about $3000. which
would be enough to pay fire insurance
for a number of years. The matter was
laid over until it could be ascertained
what terms In regard to paying loss could
be secured.
A communication was received from the
Lighthouse Department In regard to the
displacement of a buoy qi Postofflce bar,
and requesting that no buoys be removed
without consulting with the department.
There being a vacancy in the auditing
committee, caused by the resignation of
Mr. Williams when he was put on the
executive committee. Commissioner Mc
Eachern was appointed to the place, Mr.
Hughes declining to accept the position.
The report of operations of the dredge
Portland at Postofflce bar for the past
week was presented, showing that she
had excavated 72.2S6 cubic yards in 120
working hours. The expense was about
a cent per yard.

ALONG THE UPPER YUKON.
Great Improvement in. Conditions
at Davrson.
FORT SELKIRK. Yukon Territory,
June 3. I have Just returned from a trip
to Dawson, and, while there, was very
much Impressed with the many improve
ments which have been made in the ap
pearance of the city since the last fire.
By order of the Yukon Council the rtreeis
and alleys have been cleaned and im
proved. Many of the large business build
ings have been repaired and painted, and
there are two rather good-sized ones in
course of construction. There was a great
deal of talk during the Winter of a pos
sible rush to Nome, many going ro far
as to predict that thousands would leave
Dawson as eoon as the boats began ttt
run, but the first steamer to leave was
the Merwln. and she did not have all her
berths taken.
Quite a number of people have left, and
more are preparing to leave for the Koyu
kuk River; it promises to be one of the
blggert rushes, although the people who
are going-cannot tell anything more than
that some one has found gold there in
paying quantities and that the chances
for the prospector on the American side
are better than on the Canadian.
Interest in the Big Salmon district has
been revived, and there has already been
quite a stampede from Fort Selkirk, every
available man having gone on the last
steamer up the river. Sam Lough, the
owner of Discovery, on Livingston Creek,
sent down here for supplies early in the
Spring, a few prospectors, thinking thto
an indication that he was doing well, fol
lowed on the first steamer, but have not
been heard from. The Gold Commission
er sent a Mining Recorder there a mouth
ago. He will have this officer at Hoota
linqua. The Big Salmon district is very
much like Atlln, gold being foundi In
epots. I saw $350 In gold that was taken
.from one pocket on a claim on Living
ston Creek last year by the owner.
Captain Miller, who was In command of
the steamer Reindeer last year, is the
dfscoverer of a coal mine six miles from
Five Fingers. It is a bjanket vein, three
foot seam. The mine is located right
beside the river, and Captain sillier has
already built a wharf 115 feet long, ice
proof. The quality of the .coal Is very
good, being- between an anthracite and a
bituminous. This may prove better than
a gold mine, as wood is very4 expensive
on the river at present.
The body of a man was washed ashore
two miles from here May 30, and some
men coming down the river in a small
boat discovered it and reported It to the
Northwest Mounted Police, at this plaoe.
It was In a very bad condition when
found, but the clothes tally with the de
scription of those worn by Fred Ciaysbn,
who, with two other men, was lost sight
of on the trail between here and MInto
last Christmas. The body will be taken,
to Dawson tonight, to await identification.
The Northwest Mounted Police have
worked on this case ever since the men
disappeared, and have been untiring in
their efforts to unravel tne mystery.
Ever since May 17, when the first steam
er of the season went down the river,
there, have been barges loaded with pro
visions coming down in quick succession.
It Is possible to get fresh egg& and po
tatoes now at a reasonable rate.
The river Is very low at present, conse
quently the light draft steamers are do
ing most of the business. The - steamer
Clossott has had several unimportant ac
cidents on her way up the river, the
last one -was when, she ran on a sand
bar at he mouth of the Pelly.
Mr. Tarbut, formerly In Surveyor-General
Habersham's office, passed through
here on hte way to Victoria.
Copper has been found on the McMll
len River, and this Summer will see sev
eral prospecting parties in on the ground.
The original discoverer, I understand, waa
discharged from the employ of the com
pany who sent him in- search of it, after
he disclosed Its location to them, and
now he has not enough money to go-and
hold his claim. H.
SKAGWAY TO BE TERMINUS.
Chllkoot Railway to Pass Dyea
Work Will Start In 15 Days.
Skagway Alaskan.
Skagway is made the terminus of the
Chilkoot Pass Railway. Dyea is side
tracked. Terminal facilities are secured
In this city, an option has been secured
on one of the big docks of Skagway for
the road, and the survey has been com
pleted from Skagway to Dyea. The fur
vey Is also made up the valley to the
site for the entrance to the proposed tun
nel. The announcement was made through
John G. Diers, who represents the Chilkoot
Pass Railway, and who came to the Daily
Alaskan office and showed an option that
had been secured from the Seattle-Skag-way
Wharf & Storage Company for its
wharf, at the price of $10,000.
It is expected to have work begun on
the road between Skagway and Dyea In
1G days. The road is to connect at the
summit with Mike King's enterprise. L.
D. Kinney is the promoter on this side.
The Dyeans mentioned as trustees will
step out In about a month, and the real
backers will appear. It Ls hoped to hare
freight going over the road a year hence.
It may be the tunnel -will not then be
complete, but that temporarily the summit
will be passed in some other way. The
road will be standard gauge, and operated
by steam.
FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.
Verdict of the Jury on First of the
Horton Mnrderers.
SKAGWAY. June 16. The trial of the
Indians held for murder of Mr. and Mrs.
Bert Horton. of Eugene, was resumed
yesterday, after a delay" of three weeks
to get witnesses. Jim Hanson, who con
fessed to having shot Mr. Horton, was
tried. He admitted having ki3!ed Horton,
and implicated the 10 other Indians who
were in the party. Hanson had confessed
before the trial to killing Hortori.' He
told the same story on the witness-stand.
His lawyer made no defense other than
to plead that capital punishment be not
given Hanson. Nevertheless, the Jury
brought In a verdict of gulty of murder
in the first degree. It' was out only an
hour.

TO AMEND THE CHARTER
DRIVING ASSOCIATION TVA VTS SEW
STREET LAWS.
Hopes to Convert the Old "White
Heme Read, Into a. Charming
Boulevard.
Multnomah Driving Association will
make an effort to have the next Legis
lature amend the City Charter relative
to street improvements. As the matter
now stands a street can only be improved
when 50 per cent of the property-owners
along such a street desire Jt There are
streets in Portland, Yamhill, for instance,
which, it is asserted, have not been im
proved to amount to anything for 20
years. This is because the majority of
property-owners along such streets wou:u
rather not spend any money on them,
and are content to allow them to go un
improved. The amendment that the Driving As
sociation will advocate will be something
like this: Let all new streets be con
structed by those who own property along
them. Then let them be kept in repair
by taxation. Just as other public property
Is kept up. It will be provided in the pro
posed amendment that all sewer, gas and
water connections be made along new
streets before the paving is done. This
will avoid the constant necessity of tear
ing up the streets, thus leaving them
patched and unsightly.
H. C Breeden, president of the Driv
ing Association-, says that this is the only
hope they have of ever getting good
streets and keeping them good in Port
land. "The present system of maintaining
streets in this city is out of date," said
Mr. Breeden yesterday, "and as long as
U is kept up we will not only have baa
streets, but poor roads leading Into town.
"Take, the Riverside drive, the old White
House road? the Driving Association ha
been spending from $1000 to $2000 a yeai
for 11 years sprinkling and keeping that
road in repair. This money hoo come om
of the members' pockets, and they have
donated it freely In order that there
should be at least one drive out of Port
land which both citizens and strangers
could use In the Summer months with
pleasure. Notwithstanding this, recently
the streets leading out to that drive have
been In such condition that many wno
would have used It could not do so. Ma
cadam street was In such bad repair tr.ax.
the association was considering making
some Improvements on the street west of
that, so as to enable people to get out
on to the drive with ease. Now that tno
contract.has been let for putting Macao
am street In condition we feel that there
Is more hope. We will go ahead and
scrape, roll and sprinkle the Riverside
drive as coon as the street work is fin
ished. That Is as much as we can do this
year.
"Other streets leading to the drive are
In bad shape. One or two bridges are at
a point where repairs are absolutely
necessary. We hope that -they will be
put in good condition soon.
"The County Commissioners have done
considerable work on the Macadam roaa.
and as soon as we can scraoe and roll It
there will not be such a drive anywher
In this county. And you would be sur
prised at the number of visitors who go
over that drive in a year. When the
weather Is good I have calls almost dally
from the hotels to know If the road is in
good condition.
"For some time the association has been
quietly at work on a plan that woula
make of the old White House road tho
mart beautiful boulevard In this country.
It would be necessary to widen the roaa
20 feet for six miles, but we could easily
do this If the Improvements could "be made
without charging the property-owners
along the way for it. Many of them, are
willing to give the right Of way, but are
not willing to stand the other expenses.
If the authorities will only guarantee that
the road can be Improved without the
cost being charged to the land owners,
it will be easy to arrange for the 10 feet
on either side of the road that would
be required to convert it Into a boulevard.
This would be of untold benefit vto the
City of Portland, and would be of great
advantage to all who own property along
the line.
"It Is the only way of reaching the
cemetery, and Is beyond dispute the pret
tiest "and shadiest drive Jn this part of
Oregon. Then, why should not tho people
show some Interest In the matter? Sup
pose that the Driving Association did not
sprinkle the road In Summer. A funeral
procession would be burled alive before
reaching the cemetery. There would be
no place where visitors could be taken
for a drive, and the man who wanted to
take an out-of-town drive 'In the Sum
mer time would he a dusty citizen when
he got bock.
"Ifi we can only get tho needed road
legislation, and the co-operation of the
people and the authorities, Multnomah
County will some day be noted for Its
driveways. The association will do its
part.
EASTERN MULTNOMAH.
Road Inspector Instructed to Ex
amine the Free Delivery District.
GRESHAM. Or.. June 21. Postmistress
McColl, of this place, has received an
acknowledgment from Washington City
of the receipt of the petition and map
for the proposed free rural delivery. She
has al been advised that the Road In
spector bos been directed to call upon her
for further information and that he will
look over the district and report upon the
proposition. He will also look over the
section between Russettville and Hurl
burt, after which he will submit his re
port to the department for a decision as
to whether the greater or lesser plan
shall be adopted. In either case It is al
most sure that Gresham and vicinity will
soon be enjoying the free delivery of
United States mail.
Three Thousand a Day.
The chain elevator at Troutdale is now
in operation for 10 hours eve"ry day. and
is taking railroad ties out of the Sandy
River at the rate of 2000 a day. Five men
are employed at the work, and at that
rate can just about keep ahead of the
three mUs which are supplying the ties.
About 70.000 have arrived down the stream
and more are coming, as every advantage
Is being taken of the rise which con
tinues during the present rainy spell. The
ties which arc being hauled from the
other mills number about 2000 more each
day, making the daily shipments from
Troutdale average about 5000. The indus
try gives employment to over 20 men at
that point.
,?Tevr Hotel.
Troutdale wL.1 have a new hotel next
Fall, to take the place of the one burned
a few months ago. Latourelle Bros, are
making arrangements for its .ejection on
the site of the smaA building and feed
stable now occupied by them on the prin
cipal street of the town. The new build
ing will contain 20 rooms, and be supplied
with all modern conveniences. Work wiK
be commenced next month and rushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
Union Fr.clflc Ready.
The. local officials of the Union Pac'flc
Railroad Company tay that their road
has not declined to exchange mileage
with the O. R. &. N. and Short Line, as
recently stated. They declare that-the.r
road is ready to put on a Joint mileage
book with the other two roads at any
rime, but think that thera are differences
In baggage limitations and other things
that will not be speedily adjusted. Until
they are It Is not probable that the 2000
mile joint book will be Issued, If It ever Is,
Knocked Down and Robbed.
James Packard, a resident of Independ-
lfeariii 'ii'- si " iur J'" i.uj.jjh.'A, .i. -at
ence, reported to the police this morning
that ha had beeri knocked down and
robbed on North: Fouctk street by a man
who had followed hjfe.out of a restau
rant. He stated that ;trjille paying for bis
meal he exposed hi purse, containing $20,
which was taken from, him after he had
been knocked senseless -by a blow from
behind. Packard was badly cut about the
face and head, ttft"was aole to tell all
about the matter, after Dr. Wheeler had
attended to his injuries- The police are'
looking Into the matter, with good pros
pects of capturing the, assailant.

THOSE CROWDE&'PROFESSIONS
Xot So Mack In Evidence According:
to Expert testimony.
Pittsburg tHspatcb.
An inquiry fry a Boston newspaper Into
the truth of the assertion that the pro
fessions are overcroKQed reveals claims
decidedly at variance with the received
opinions. The verdicts of the heads of
the various professional training schools
are decidedly to the--fefffect that the pro-fer-sions
are not overcrowded.
The two deans of the two law cchools
at Boston and Harvard say that the Jegal
profession Is not ovorcrowded, and that
W per cent of their graduates stick to the
law and make a living or better at It.
Thej; admit, however, that the young
attorney must not be expected to make
his living the first year. The heads of
the two medical schools' make the same
claim with regard to medicine, with th
stipulation that the youns doctor must
be temperate and Industrious In order to
succeed, a requirement equally imperative
In all lines of effort. The head of the
Harvard Dental School testifies that 95
per cent of hie graduates are at work on
the teeth of the Nation" .and doing well
tor themselves, rf not lor tho teeth. The
secretaries of the Scientific School and
Institute of Technology say that there
Is abundant room in the engineering pro
fession, though one of them admits that
there are rather too 'rnany naval archi
tects just now.
This accounts Tor all tho leading pro
fessions except theology, and various the
ological teachers have lamented the lack
of candidates for .rUral pastorates. So
this testimony Is urjanimous that the pro
fessions are not overcrowded. True, the
cynical may intimate that the witnesses
are all Interested In schools for profes
sional training and? not anxious to dis
courage pupils. Bdt that Ms easily met
by tho equally obvious fact that the au
thorities for the assertion that the pro
fessions are too full are active members
of their calling, and npt" desirous of hav
ing new doctors and lawyers come In to
split up the business.
The evidence in favor of the profes
sions Is therefore as good as that against
it Nevertheless, we -would recommend
to the young man who' wlshfs a firm ba
sis to fall (back upon that learning- to get
his bread by the sweat pt his brow Is a
valuable preparation for actual life.

WAR CLAIMS MODERATE
AMERICAN
KNOWN
CLAIM SHARK NOT
IX PHILIPPINES.
Every BUI Filed Has a Real and Sas-
tantlal Basts, TkoHEh Not All
Are Lecal.
MANDLA, P. L. May 17. (Special Cor
respondence.) War claims arising from
the American occupation of the Philip
pines are comparatively light, as thus
far presented to the board convened to
pass upon such demands. For losses sus
tained through the capture of Ilo Ho com
pensation Is asked In the sum of some
$650,000. This is by far the largest claim
presented from any one operation of the
Insurrection.
When it is considered that haK the city
of Ilo Ilo was destroyed by Are, and that
the business was largely In the hands
of European firms, and further, tnat
Ilo Ito Is the second city In wealth and
population In the Archipelago, the aggre
gate of claims is insignificant when com
pared with those of any other of our
wars, for a like destruction of private
property. This statement will be the
more apparent when comparison is made
with the claims presented against the
Government for loss of private property
In Cuba and Porto Rico. In the latter
Island, I am Informed that one individ
ual of moderate means apparently, has
a claim against the Government of the
United States for 53,000,000 more than
the aggregrate of all the claims that
have been presented against the United
States, for losses sustained on account
of the American occupation of the Philip
pines. Probably one reason of the moderate
demands from these Islands on the treas
ury is the absence of the claim shark
from the United States. The requests
for compensation In tho main, are reas
onable in amount and very few, if any,
seem without foundation. I think it
safe to say that in everyinstance where
compensation has been prayed for the
prajer is based on actual loss. Whether
or not there be a legal claim, is In most
cases doubtful, but in every case the in
dividual coming before the board has
suffered damage and presents a prima
facia case for relief.
War claims are submitted largely by
alien residents, more especially the larger
claims. The English claims are in general
the greatest in amount. The largest
single demand made, however. Is by a
Swiss firm. Holhnan & Co., which is a
cfialm for $240,000 for the destruction by
fire of then- stock of goods In Ilo Ilo.
Since the commencement of the hearing
the amount asked for has been reduced
nearly $40,000.
A large number of comparatively small
claims have been paid, some by the
Quartermaster Department, some by the
Military Governor on the recommenda
tion of the board. The small claims are
mostly from natives, belonging to the
poorer classes. For many of this char
acter, while ihe Government is not strict
ly liable In a legal sense, compensation
should be made as a matter of substan
tial right; as. for instance, the case of
a poor widow robbed of her little stock
of (Mexican dollars by the wanton, unan
thorired act of two soldiers, who entered
ner numc-ie nipa nouse. and. with re
volvers pointed at her head and breast,
demanded her money.
For such act, the Government la not le
gally 'liable, the law being that for the
wanton, unauthorized acts of its sol
diers, the Nation Is not responsible. It Is
strange how far behind the lessons of hu
manity, in war. as tauerht by Je Vattel,
the Nations are yet. The great Interna
tional Jurist says that a state rs not le
gally obliged to recompense its citizens
for the loss of their property destroyed
in time of war, but should moke com
pensation to the sufferers when its finan
ces allow. For the atrocious case men
tioned, "which actually occurred here in
Manila, shortly after its capture by the
American forces, compensation should
have been- made, whether a legal obli
gation rested on the Nation or not. And
doubtless such would have been- the case.
but when the widow was sought that
notice might be served on her to produce
her evidence In proof of her claim, she
was dead.
There Is a general expectation of ex
orbitant claims followinc a war. Such
han not been the experience in these Isl
ands. Since the convening of a board
to Investigate and pass upon such claims
as might be presented, only a moderate
Amount has been asked, as before stated.
Tho ooard was convened on April 18,
1S99. Besides the capture of Ilo Ilo.
and the destruction of hlf the city, there
was a wholesale loss of property durlnj
the unrlsing on- February 22 and 23, ITS.

consumed, os well as a portion of the ad
jacent district of BInondo. Accompany
Inr the attack on different points of the
Island, as at Malolos. and Caloocan. was
the destruction of large nTmrunts of prop
erty, but the aggregate of all the claims
is not, I think, greater than single de
mands made by an individual or cor-
L pomtlon following any of our former
wars.
The claims, as may be supposed, differ
widely In amounts as well as In charac
ter. One Is for a carameta ad horse
forcibly or fraudulently taken from Its
driver bv a soldier. Another for a dis
tillery with Its content"? valued at tfno.OCK).
Still another for a go-down full of hemp,
and the hemo press worth J120.000. An
other is for the loss of the services of an

DECLINE OF PLACER CAMPS
The Early Rashes to Idaho Differ
ent Prom Cape Nome.
Spokane Spokesman-Review.
The early history, of Idaho Is repeated
in Alaska. In .1S63, 40,000 gold-seekers
were drawn to the" rich placer camps of
Idaho. Bancroft says that notwithstand
ing the falling off in Eastern immigration,
the Boise mines alone" drew between 23
000 and 30.000 men to Southern Idaho.
These fjgures about cover the highest
estimates of the number of men who will
go into Alaska this year.
In those days, as now, there was keen
rivalry between towns and cities over the
trade of the placer camp3. Portland,
Walla Walla. Lewlston, Umatilla land
ing, and even Sacramento, Cal., competed
for the business of the various camps in
Northern and Southern Idaho. Lewlston
was a lively place. It commanded the
rich diggings "of Northern Idaho, and its
ambitious merchants had dreams of reach
ing out for the richer trade of the Boise
country. They dispatched a party to old
Fort Boise to ascertain if It were practi
cable to navigate the Snake River from
Lewlston to that point or beyond. This
party, after waiting until the river was
near its lowest stage, dcscnded from Fort
Boise to Lewlston on a raft. "It was soon
made apparent, however," says the histo
rian, "that Lewlston was hopelessly cut
off from Salt Lake, and even from Boise
Basin, by craggy mountains and Impassa
ble river canyons and falls."
As rapidly as one rich camp was ex
hausted another was found, and the mer
curial miners darted hither and thither
like globules of quicksilver In search of
cold. For a few years the new dlscov
trics overbalanced the exhaustion of the
old dlgglngo, and the population In
creased rapidly; but there came a time
when the balance turned, and then the
country lost Its transient population near
ly as fast as It had gathered It in the
eldorado days.
Thus now with Alaska. Dawson has
lest the greater part of Its population,
and even now has the appearance of a
deserted mining camp. In a few years.
at furthest, the same fate will fall on
j -Cane. Nome, and la a Xsw more, sears, the
-fitJUS2i2S4 .tc ;.
thousands wlus are now gathering in
Alaska will scatter to rae four winds.
This has been the history of California,
of the placer camps of Australia, and
of the once famous camps of Idaho.
Alaska's industries will then fall back
on Its permanent resources Its quartz
mines. If commercial ore shall be discov
ered, and Its fisheries and lumber.
It Is significant, though, that thus far
pay ore has eluded the Alaska searcher.
The Treadwell mine Is still poundliyr away
on great bodies of low-grade ore on the
seashore, but this apart from the pres
ent rush of goldseekers. Nothing that
would Invite the operations of the ex
perienced and prudent quartz miner has
been found In the interior.
In this respect Alaska differs from the
early history of Idaho. Even when the
placer miners were washing out their mil
lions, primitive means were rigged up to
crush the rich ore of adjacent ledges. "At
South Boise, in 1SS4. between 40 and 50
arostras were run by water-power, mak
ing flattering returnsi and the number was
soon increased to S4. each crushing about
a ton a day." In the same year quartz
mills were brought In from St. Louis,
San Francisco and Portland, and Idaho
fairly entered on the development of her
remarkable quartz mines.
THE ORIGIN OF THE BOXER
First an.
Athletic Society, Sow
Warlike lloit
Springfield Republican.
The Chinese name of the society Is Yl
Ho Chuan, which translates literally Into
I English as "rlghteousnesa, harmony and
nsta, and the derived name "Boxers"
seems to be highly appropriate to an or
ganization devoted so manifestly to the
"strenuous life." Ostensibly It was an
athletic society, and its various groups
were formed lnto bodies of gymnasts.
These began gymnastic exercises in the
Chlneee villages, and drilling as a mili
tary organization was quickly developed,
with broadswords for arms. On account
of the swords, the Boxers have also been
known as the "Big Knaves." Charles F.
Gammon, a Congregational missionary in
China, in an article printed recently by
the Bible Society Record, saje that the
society grew with great rapidity:
"Each band was conducted by a 'de
monized leader, who, by the selection ot
an epileptic patient or by the aid of
hypnotism, caused a 'medium' to display
wild and unnatural symptoms, or to utter
wild and strange speech, this serving
as a baels for the claim of this society
to spiritual power. Every follower was
assured of Immunity from death or phy
sical Injury, the'r bodies being spiritually
protected from sword cuts and bullets.
By the 1st of July the Boxers had added
vast numbers to their ranks, and all
were armed with broadswords, and In some
cases with firearms."
Last Summer the assault upon Chris
tians began, more particularly upon the
native converts to Christianity. In
Shan Tung province the Roman Catholic
missions were very obnoxious to the Chi
nese, and the feeling of hostility had been
intensified In 1S9S, when a Chinese temple
at the village of LI Lien Yuan was pur
chased and changed Into a Roman Cath
olic chapel. The Boxers of 18 villages
united and attacked that chapel.
The Boxers before long adopted the
motto, "Exalt the dynasty and extirpate
the foreigners." Missionary Gammon
writes that one of their placards, which
was widely circulated, read:
"The Universal Boxer Society.
"You are personally invited to meet on
the seventh day of the ninth moon.
"Elevate the Manchus.
"Kill the foreigners.
"Unless this summons Is obeyed you will
lose your head."
The motto and the placard reveal the es
sential difference between the Boxers and
the Tai Pings, whose great rebellion raged
from 1850 to 1E64, and was put down finally
by the celebrated English soldier, "Chi
nese" Gordon. The Tai Pings aimed to
overthrow the Manchu dynasty, and their
leader attempted to introduce a new re
ligion. But the Boxers profess fealty to
the reigning dynasty, and devotion to the
ancient religion, while attacking the for
eign Influences which, with reason, they
believe to be undermining the ancient In
stitutions and rationality of China,
The attacks unon native Christians, mis
sionaries and foreigners generally, which
began last Summer and Fall In Shan
Tung province, were steadily winked at by
the Pekln Government. The murder of
the English missionary. Brooks, last
Winter tended to bring matters to a cli
max, and the Imperial authorities were
compelled to remove the Governor of
Shan Tunar. whose sympathies were man
ifestly with the Boxers, and to promise
that troop should be sent to overawe
tho disturbers of the peace. But no sol
diers were sent, and the deposed Governor
was received at Pekln by the Empress
Dowager, It 4s said, with a mark of h'gh
favor. Since last January the Boxer
movoment has grown more and more pow
erful; If it were ever within the control
of the Pekln Government it now appears
to have run far beyond it.
DEFEATED PHILANTHROPY.
A, Rich Mnn'a Benevolent Schemes
Were Misinterpreted.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Like hundreds of other men." said the
gentleman who had been addressed as
Judge. "I had an "Idea that if I ever be
came rich I'd spring a lot of glad sur
prises on poor but worthy men. One day
when I had closed out the last of my
stock In a gold mine and found that I
could draw my check for half a million.
I determined to put the Idea Into prac
tice. It would have been dead easy to
send a check to an orphan asylum or
contribute several thousand dollars to a
poor fund, but I wanted to see more direct
benefits. On my way home I stopped off
at a little town In. Wisconsin, and It
seemed as if my arrival had been timed
by Providence. In a day or two I had
picked up all the current gossip. I learned
that a merchant who had been in business
for 20 years was on the point of lailure
because he couldn't raise $2000; also that
a carpenter had been killed by accident
and left his home mortgaged and his
widow penniless; also that one of the
church congregations was on the point of
breaking up because of a debt which
couldn't be paid. Here was my opportunity-
to do several nice things. I didn't
propose to have any fuss made over it,
and therefore went to a lawyer to ar
range for the donations I wanted to make.
He heard me out. and then plumply said:
" 'Sir, you will be 'set down as either a
fool or lunatic Keep your money in your
pocket.'
"But I wanted to carry out my scheme,"
continued the Judge, "and so I went di
rectly to the merchant and offered him
$2000 cash. He finally accepted It, but In a
dubious, hesitating way. When I called
on the carpenter's widow and offered to
discharge the mortgage and leave her 1500
besides, she wouldn't hear of It. She even
got mad and showed me the door. In the
case of the church, the preacher thought
it over, and decided a donation might be
accepted In the name of God, but the dea
cons and others were down on the idea.
My philanthropy was growing cold, when
something happened to send It down to
zero all of a sudden. As true as you live,
I was arrested as a suspicious person, and
It took me full two weeks to clear myself!
Yes. sir, they argued that a man who
wanted to give away J40Q0 or $5000 to help
strangers out of a hole to? Justly under
the han, and the merchant returned me
the 52000 and went up the spout for the
want of It. I cleared myself after a while,
and got considerable fun out of the pro
ceedings, but I discovered that I had been
hugging a delusion. They wouldn't credit
me with good intentions, even when I of
fered to replace the old town pump. As I
walked down to the depot to leave the
town the Prosecuting Attorney of the
county walked with me. and he was
pleased to say:
You have come out all right and are
at liberty to tro awav. but I wouldn't try

THE ROOT OF TEE TROUBLE.
The President Allennte IIIi Duty of
Appointment.
New York Times. -,
What Mr. Manley proposes to Sir. Mc-
Kinlev is that he shall look over the testl-
monv a& to the conduct of certain office-1
holdprs in Alabama, and take "such action
as the good of the nubile Interest requires.
This is at best a mild reo.ue.st, and It
comes- too?late If ,the2 Pros'dent shall
find that these Alabama oClce-holders have
been acting like ho;r5, as, doubtless they
have, and shall determine to dismiss them
from the service, which wcu.d be extreme
ly Improbable, he would merely lop off a
few of the little twigs and leaves of the
poisonous spoils growth: he would not
touch Its roots or even its trunk, and
there Is not the slightest reason to supporo
that he wishes so to do or that he would
be permitted if he did wLsh it.
There is one tap root of this growth.
and the President can rip it out at any
time, but not without loslns his control i
of the party machinery or without split
ting his party wld open. That root is
the use of h!s power of appointment to
promote his own auvantage. He will ba
at no loss to recognize irstarcs of such
use. It has been systematic and habitual
with him. In pursuance of 't he has sub
mitted to dictation of appointments by
tho Senators and Representatives of h!sv
own party in the varlou:' states, never
flinching even at such appointments aa
that of the notorious Dcmas, in Louisiana,
and the recent one of Hazel, in this state.
Undoubtedly by thte means the President-
secures the co-operation of his party, in,
Corgrei.9 for such measures as ho ma7
think it worth while to Insist on. What
value there Is In that Is an open question.
but a part of the price he pays for It i3
tho substantial surrender of hl3 Constitu
tional function of appointment to office I
and with it the surrender of any adequate
control of the conduct of the office-hold- I
ers. He cannot obtain that control until '
he breaks the bonds of his servitude to
