An Inconsistent Gold Popullit. Olympian. A number of clerks In the state building were startled yesterday when a well known Populist farmer living cast of the city appeared among them and asked the privilege of purchasing their monthly ' salary warrants. The Populist farmer ' meant business, too. for as he made his j request he flourished before the eyes of 'the clerks a sack containing several nun- urea aonars in gom. Alter tneir surprise had somewhat abated they all did busi ness with the rancher. This little Incident caused considerable talk In the state building, where the em- farmer are as poor as In 1S93. The Popu list warrant buyer stated that the money he was buying the state's paper with was accrued In the past two years from selling butter, eggs nnd other products of his ranch. To add zest to the incident the farmer stated that he would again vote for Bry an. He Is evidently built on the same lines as the man who voted for Bryan in 1S0S to get good times; he got the good times, and In the hope of continuing them ho will vote for Bryan again.

Other Questions Considered Arc Es tablishment of Indemnity Fnnd and of Foreign Ministry. WASHINGTON, Nor. 2. It was stated today In quarters well versed In. Chi nese affairs, . that outside of the ques tions of indemnity, punishments, etc. now under negotiation at Pekln, there are three vital and far-reach'.nj question to be determined, v z : First tKe lemoval of the Emprers Dowage. personal y and through the Influence of her advisers. from all participation in the Chinese Gov ernment; second, the creation of an in demnity fund by the increase of China's customs revenue, either by the payment of the duties In gold Instead of depreci ated silver, as at present, or else doubling the present silver duties from 5 per cent to 10 per cent ad valorem, and third, the establishment of a Minister of Foreign Affairs, in place of the old and cumber some system of the Tsung 11 Yamun. The demand for the retirement of the Empress Dowager is said to result from the conclusion now generally accepted that the Imperial Government of China was responsible for the Boxer uprising. As the Empress Dowager was the ruling authority of the Imperial Government during the uprising, this responsibility Is brought home directly to her. There is understood to be no purpose, however, to visit upon her any personal punish ment or Indignity, but merely so to form the reconstructed government as to ex clude her from all participation In It It Is deemed advisable for that reason that she should remain permanently away from Pekln, and that her advisers also should be kept away from the seat of government. The plan of doubling China's customs duties has arisen from the need of finding a source to "pay war Indemnities, which the various powers demand. It appears, however, that the Increase of the duties has heretofore been brought to the at tention of the United States Government by LI Hung Chang. This was during his visit to Washington a few years ago, when It was represented that the 5 per cent was fixed in 1858 by the treaties with the United States and other countries, and was payable In silver, at which time silver was worth almost as much as gold. But, with the changed value betwen sil ver and gold, LI Hung Chang pointed out that China's 5 per cent duty In silver actually netted only about 2 per cent. Judged by the prevailing gold standard. The matter was not pressed at that time. China's present customs revenue are said to be already pledged to meet the Interest and principal of Chinese loans, so that It will require some entirely new source to meet the Indemnities. In case the enlarged duties are determined upon, it Is understood that their collection will be placed under the supervision of the powers, at least until the indemnities are paid. The plan of substituting a Minister of Foreign Affairs in place of the Tsung 11 Yamun has long been contemplated, as foreign representatives have found It very difficult to deal with this mixed body and to locate responsibility upon It particularly during the Boxer troubles. SHAN SI MASSACRES. Accounts Given by Native Chris tians. VICTORIA, B. C.. Nov. 2. A number of letters from native Christians, written last August and September, of the- mas sacres In Shan Si Province, and trans lated by Mrs. Archibald Little, appear In the Shanghai papers received today. The writers say the Governor of Shan SI Issued the following proclamation: "The foreign religion is detestable be cause It despises the geds and harasses the people. The Boxers will bum the houses of all Christians and kill them. ' July 16, Mr. and Mrs. McConnell, with their little girl. Miss King and Miss Bur ton, together with Mr. and Mrs. Young, came from KIklchow. On arriving at SI Klao they were surrounded and July 16 were decoyed to the banks of the Yellow River and killed. July . 24 the mission premises were burned, and the next day the PInglang Ladles' Home was burned. They took Mr. Peng and killed him and burned five houses of the Christians, using violence to make four men worship their Idols. The Christians sought the protec tion of the local officials, who commanded them to recant. The Boxers ordered them to draw lots before the Idols, and If the lot came upward, they considered thai they had been sincere In recanting, but If downward, they considered them in sincere and then killed them. On the west sldo of the Fen River, near PIng lang Fu, the people took Christian men and women and with knives cut a cross on their foreheads, then tortured and killed them. August 22 the writer says: "The hiding place of Dr. McKay has been found. Some local rebels, pretending to be Boxers, captured him and are hold ing him for a ransom. August 7, gover nor Yu Shlen, of Shan SI, ordered the people In every town and village to practice the Boxer arts, and now all are practicing. The persecution of the native Christians In Shan Si are Indescribable. All the homes of the Christians In the country about the city have been de stroyed. The wives and daughters of the Christians have been shamefully treated and tortured. No steps have been taken to punish the Taotal who handed over for slaughter the Thompsons, tnelr children. Miss Sherwood, (Miss Manchester and Miss Desmond; and now he holds In prison the evangelist who saw Dr. Ward killed, lest he should give evidence against him. That official Is forcing the unhappy man to write false letters dls- IU ling Lilt? inuio ui me luosoauc. Bishop Favrler. who reached the coast after his successful defense of the Peltong Cathedral, estimates that 200 native Chris tians were killed In the Pekln division alone. There Is fear of a famine In the Tien Tsin Province, and the Viceroys have dispatched delegates to the Consuls pro posing the formation of a relief commit tee, and have offered for distribution 50, 000 bags and 750.000 plculs of rice, the Chinese refuse to give the rice up to the military committee. The Consuls do not fall In with the proposal, but Issued a proclamation saying that all would be fed. GERMAX TROOPS IX CHIXA. Emperor's Favorite Wife Drowned by the Downger'n Orders. BERLIN. Nov. 2. Official telegrams from Count von Waldersee show that Ger man troops have 'arrived In China and been distributed.

The Second Infantry Brigade, with a corresponding force of artillery, engineers and cavalry, is at Pao Ting Fu. One battalion Is at Shan Hal Kwan. The Third Infantry Brigade, with a company of sharpshooters, two squads of cavalry and several batteries, are at Tien Tsin. One battery and several howitzers are at Taku and a force of troops Is distributed long the railroad from Pekin to Yang Tsun. superintending the work of construction. A special dispatch to the Hamburg Correspondent say3: "In a well situated place In the Im perial Palace precincts In Pekln was found the body of Emperor Kwang Hsu's favorite wife. Shen Tl. whom the Empress Dowager caused to be drowned before the flight of the court from the capital. The second favorite. Shlng FI. and 100 ladles belonging to the Imperial harem, arc prisoners In the hands of the allies." A dispatch from Pao Ting Fu. dated yesterday, says: "Telegraphic connection has been com pleted with Pekln entirely by. the Ger- mans. Tho railway from Pan Ting Fu to the capital Is nearly completed. French detachments are, guarding the line. The, health of the German troo"ps Is steadily lmporvlng." Another batch of letters from German soldiers in China appears today In a num ber of papers, among them the Hanover Courier, which editorially demands official statements with reference to tho details given by the writers of the cruelties al-1 leged to have been committed by Ger man troops In China. This demand is warmly supported by the Fresslnnlge Zeltung. More Chinese Commissioners. LONDON, Nov. 3.

BROTHERS PUEPARIXG TO START XOnTH. They Will Mine for Two Years Avrny ' Beyond the Outnoata of Civil ization. The McNamer brothers, of Forest Grove, who have acquired rich placer claims In Northern Alaska, are In Portland for a few days. They are preparing to leave for Emma Creek again on January 20, and expect to take In some 30 tons of supplies with them over the Ice. They desire to construct slulce-boxcs and get things li shape for a good season's run next year and to that end will work all Winter and early Spring. Emma Creek is a tributary of the Koy ukuk River, and heads well up in the summit of the Alaskan Rockies, where the north side of tho range Is drained by rivers emptying into the Arctic Ocean. The boys worked their claims last Sum mer and netted $100 per day to the man, with the crude app.lanccs at hand. They now propose to take advantage -of a nat ural waterfall and thus remove 'more gravel from the bedrock In a given time than before. The large nuggets brought down from there this Fall show the di&. glngs to be Immensely rich, and there is no telling how much gold they may take out next Summer. Thfe scene of their operations Is totally devoid of human life, except the few min ers who had the grit to brave extreme rig ors and surmount great distances with a meager supply of food. These" two broth ers xiave had to go without anything to cat for six days at a time, and when they finally reached an Indian cache, they found dried salmon tasted very good. The danger in exploring those northern wilds Is In losing one's bearings und not beln& to una them again until after the provi sions have run out The boyB will go In this time via Fort Yukon, and have their goods hauled over the ice, by way of Baddies, the last set tlement on their route. This little village Is 70 miles south of the diggings, and will be their base of supplies for mlnqr articles after they have again established them selves on Emma Creek. One of the worst drawbacks about living In that remote region, T. L. C. McNamer thinks. Is the lack of mall facilities. "When we go in there, we don't hear from the outside world until we return," he said yesterday, at the Perkins. "The Government should established a mall route between Fort Yukon and Baddies, which are 130 miles apart, and we could call for our mall at the latter point when we make a trip to the village. There is certainly gold enough being taken out of Alaska to justify establishing a monthly mall service to the principal points In the Yukon basin. What mall Is being carrleC In that region now is a result of Canadian enterprise. The Canadians have contracts with their own Government, and in cross ing American territory hire American citi zens to do the work. "The few Indians In that region are be ing thinned out by Russian scurvy, and I am sorry for it, as they are a peace able, honest set, who try to Imitate the ways of the white man and to learn his language. Their honesty has been proven during periods of starvation while hunt ing along the Koyukuk tributaries. Al though dying from hunger, they never molested any of the provisions cached by white prospectors along their route. What wh,lte man could be expected to treat tne property of another race with such re spect as this?" The brothers expect to be gone two years when they leave next time, and do not seem to dread the period of isolation they are subjecting themselves to. "W rather like It up there." the elder said, "as there Is no coin In circulation smaller than a quarter, and everything you buj Is costly. Here In Portland, when we see nickels and even copper cents In circula tion, we- feel just like going right back. "The extreme cold is easy to get used to, and 70 degrees below Is not so very hard to stand If you keep moving. Tho wintry air Is always still, nnd even horses can stand outdoors for some time without freezing to death. I have been obliged to experiment In this way once or twice when I came to a trading post In the depth of Winter and found the stables all crowded with other people's horses. .Even a. tent Is good shelter for a horse In cold periods, and harness that has been frozen stiff in the open air, soon become soft and pliable, when placed under can vas In which a pair of horses are finding shelter." As both the young men arc bachelors, they feel as though they could exile themselves from civilization for a few years more, without causing much discomfort at home. Impossible to Convince Antis.

A New Cntnrrb. Cure Secures Na tional Popularity in Less Than One Year. Throughout a great nation of S0.G00.O00 it Is a desperate struggle, to secure even a recognition for a new article, to say noth ing of achieving popular favor, and yat within ono year Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, tho new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today it can be found In evcrj" drug store throughout the United States and Canada. To be sure, a large amount of advertis ing was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to tho attention of the public, but every one. familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently suc cessful. It must have In addition abso lute, undeniable merit, and this the- new catarrh cure certainly possesses In a marked degree. Physicians who formerly depended upon Inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint ments now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because, as one of the most prominent stated, these tablets contain In pleasant, convenient form all the really efficient catarrh remedies, such as red gum, Guaa col. Eucalyptol and Sanguinarta. They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safety and benefit Dr. J. J. Reltlger, of CovlnEton. Ky.. says: "I suffered from catarrh In my head and throat every Fall, with stoppage of the nose and Irritation In the throat, affecting my voice and often extending to the stomach, causing catarrh of the stom ach. I bought a 50-ccnt package of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at my druggist's, carried them In my pocket and used them faithfully, and the way In which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remarkable. I had no catarrh last Win ter and Spring, and consider myself en tirely free from any catarrhal trouble." Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, W. Va.. writes: "I suffered from .catarrh nearly my whole life and last Winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the Win ter. My brother, who was cured of ca tarrhal deafness by using Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets, urged me to try them so much that I did so, and am truly thankful for what they have done for myself and my children. I always keep a box of the tablets In the house, and at the first np pearance of a cold or sore throat we nip it in the bud and catarrh is no longer a household affliction with us."
