Saccinct Review of the Religions
Pbnae -and Ontllne of Future
Military Operations.
E. C Xtelton, -who furnished The Ore
goalan srlth tho appended article on the
Chinese situation. Is a recent comer to
Portland. He was for four years a resi
dent of Pekin and Tien Tain, and has
fcwde extensive tours through the In
terior of China, and has had unusual
facilities for informing himself as to tho
actual condition. He was a member of
too Tien Tsln volunteers, which were
frequently called out to defend the city
from Chinese mobs. He is a son-in-law
of L. Gerltnger, of Portland.
A reat many conflicting reports have
come, during the past two weeks, from
China, regarding events transpiring there.
Three different relieving columns are re
ported as being on the march to Pekln,
rind ono as having accomplished its re
lief. These reports -emanate in Shanghai
and Che Poo, where. In tho absence of
any official news, all rumors current
amongst the Chinese are Riven credence.
The situation, as officially given to date.'j
is as follows: Tor six weeks a society
called Boxers, having for Its avowed ob
ject the extermination of all foreigners
la China, particularly missionaries, have
been murdering Christians, foreign and
native, burning property and have had
their cumbers formidably augmented hy
the entire Chinese Army In Northern
China, Including about 100,000 forelgn
drilled troops, well equipped with Mauser
rifles and Krupp guns.
- All forelgnerr In Pjekln have taken ref
uge in tha British Legation, where, with
the foreign legation Guards, sent at the
commencement of the trouble for their
protection, they are making (June Ii) a
fight against fearful odds, short of pro
visions and ammunition.
Baron von Ketteler, the German Minis
ter, has been murdered, and all legations,
including the American, adjacent to the
wall of Pekln, have been destroyed.
The relief force of 2300 men. under Ad
miral Seymour, were beaten hack with
reat loss to Tien Tsin. and had. In Its
turn, to be rcllev.ed by the force which
relieved Tien Tsln.
Prince Tuan It reported to hare mur- 1
derefl the Emperor, attempted the life of
the" Dowager Empress, proclaimed his son
Emperor of China, and issued an edict or
dering the extermination of all foreigners
The combined fleet at Taku have re
lieved Tien Tsln, tiken the Taku forts
ahd have about 20 000 available men for
shoo duty, which forcp Is considered in
adequate by the Admirals to warrant
their again attempting the relief of Pe
kln. This decision of the Admirals has left
over 1000 foreigners, men, women and
children, to perish at the ruthless hands
or the Chinese. God grant that the men
had the courage to kill the Women and
children rather tnan they should fall Into
the hands of a Chinese mob is the prayer
of every fore'gner who has lived In
China. That they would be subjected to
the most 'horrible tortures and nameless
barbarities Is beyond question.
The missionaries are a great deal to
blame for the present uprising Insomuch
as they take too great an interest in the
earthly welfare of their converts and he
come the chrmplan of their converts
against the officials In any trouble that
may arise. Another reason why the J
missionary Is to blame is that he Is con
stantly complaining to his Consul or
Minister about the troubles he gets Into
with the local Chinese officials, and there
by gets the difficulty settled officially.
Incurring the hatred of the Chi
nese officials. "When a missionary ii

Tm.mn a snort distance of Pekln, and
for once the exemplary punishment was
meted out to the actual culprits In th
presence of Mr. -Campbell, of the British
Legation, who Insisted on personally see
ing the punishment inflicted.
One man was beheaded, one strangled
and several were severely flogged and
Imprisoned. A money Indemnity was ob
tained from the Chinese authorities, that
they should pay for the erection of a
memorial chape'l on the site of the mur
der and erect tablets In the near-by vil
lages whereon Is Inscribed the eternal
disgrace of the villages. This took place
the end of last March,
Thexmlsslonarles, however, are not en
tirely to blame. The powers of Europe,
too, often use the missionary to pull the
chestnuts, out of the Are for themselves,
as witness tho acquisition of territory
concessions, etc., in China hy the powers
as redress for the murder of missionaries.
A great deal of sympathy must nat
urally be shown to China. Since the
Japanese War she has been considered
tho prey of all nations, each nation
striving to force all It can out of China,
and at the same time trying to prevent
China from letting any other nation get
anything from her.
"Whenever one minister makes a re
quest to the Tsung 11 Yamun on behalf of
a business firm to construct even an elec
tric tramway in a Chinese city, the other
Ministers would oppose the Tsung 11 Ya
mun granting the permit. The jealousy of
the nations has retarded the development
of China a great deal more than the of
ficials of Pekln. The powers had better
bo careful lest in their miserable Jeal
ousies, China, in defying all of them,
should escape In their contention over
her.
Since the Chinese-Japanese War China
has organized and equipped an Imperial
army of 100,000 men, armed with Mauser
rifles and Krupp guns. This has 'been
dbne under the supervision of the best
military officers, principally Germans,
China could obtain. She has also hUilt
arsenals and fortifications under the di
rection of military experts.
Generals Nieh and Lung command to
day a splendidly equipped, and drilled.
army of 100,009 men. physically superior
to any army of its sire in tho world and
capable of enduring greater hardships and
privations.
"While the Imperial Government at Pe
kln was organizing this army the Vice
roys of the various 'provinces, to a mbre
or less extent, engaged foreign officers to
reorganize and drill their provincial
troops, so that a modest estimate would
placo the army of China which has di
rectly felt the effect of European organi
sation at 260,000 men.
In May, 1899, the Chinese Government
prevented the shipment of mules, and
horses from Tien Tsin to Manllt for tho
United States Army, despite the exer
tions of Minister Conger. Previous to
then several shipments were made to
Java for the Dutch Army.
During last year enormous quantities of
arms and ammunition were purchased hy
the Government through three cr four
Tien Tsin firms, all German. All the
above, combined with the firm attitude
shown by China to Italy when the latter
demanded the concession of Samumln
Bay. China not only refusing, but de
manding that Italy should recall Its Min
ister from China, which was done, tends
to shbw that China made preparations
to resist by force of arms any further
demands made upon her by the rapacious
powers, and realized that their Insatiable
gfeed would only end with her extinc
tion. The present rising of the Boxers has
carried with It the officials and the army.
"With the officials It was a case of self
preservation.
The Viceroys of the Southern and -Central
Provinces have agreed to protect the
lives of foreigners in their provinces,
provided no foreign troops are landed in.

The force necessary to capture Peldn
has been estimated at 50,000 men. It docs
not seem possible that the Chinese can
oppose the international troops with over
150,000 men well armed. From personal

being the rainy season in North China.
Tien Tsin railway communication -with (
Taku must be maintained, ana as it is
only a distance of 35 tnlles. It can he
easily done by cavalry, and an armored '
train. From Tien Tsln to Pekln. a dls
tance of 90 miles, the best plan will be to
advance tip the river, using the llght-
draught native boats to convey supplies,
making the natives tow the boats. The
cavalry would skirmish on both sides of
the river. There are no fortifications be
tween Tien Tsln and Tnngohow. -and the
ground would be too soft for entrench

"While the' encampment has started un-

best of humor, and there is every lndica-
tion that this will be tne most successful
encampment ever held in Oregon, it is
at once -apparent that no better placo
could have been chosen for holding the
encampment The grounds are in excel

the location of tents could not be better,
and a grove at one side of the grounds
furnishes an admirable location for brlg

When the Third Regiment alighted

scorching sun. Colonel Evorott had
placed them In tho cars In such order
that when thpy filed out they readily
came to their proper positions. As It was

The Security Savings &: Trust Company
sued to recover $2231. and J23.CCO duo to

to the London & San Francisco Bank.
The Security Savings &. Trust Company
holds a lyust d-ed. or-mortgage, to securo
these claims, on the undivided one-halt
of block 23, Watson's addition; the un
divided one-halt of 160 acres and of SO
acres. The land Is close to the city, and
la worth probably $10,000.
At the trial It was urged In behalf of
J. Frank WatsOn's claim by Attorneys W.
T. Mulr-and J. W. Whalley that his at
tachment was prior to the trust deed
agreement to the plaintiff, which was
supplemented by the mortgage, because
the agreement was mado In secret and
the Instrument was not recorded, was not
a mortgage, and there were numerous
other contentions.
In 1893 Loewnberg executed a trust
deed to the property here named, and
other property, to plaintiffs, to secure a

was afterwards released, and another

to the SUpmme Court, his position being
that the Instrument or trust deed of Jan

attachmorits of Watson and Leonard, and
was In fnct a mortgage.
There Is no dispute as to the correctness

that It will not Tealire enough to pay all.

The method Is simple I moke an appliance which is worn about the waist
while you sleep. It pours a soothing, constant flow of electric life Into the back
muscles and nerves, infusing the kidneys with a warm glow. While you aro
sleeping It is doing Its grand work. The muscles gather strength and elasticity
from it, so that when you get up you can bend double and straighten up without
a hitch. It positively cures within 10 days.
Let me show you the evidence of tho thousands cured of this trouble by
my appliance, and explain to you how simply it is done. If your back aches, let
me cure you. Call or send for book free.

able base-running and heavy hitting of S.
