and
Moro Troops in Philippines Than Any
Time Sinco Pacification of
the Islands.
Washington, Fob. 17. It has been
decreed by tho administration that,
come what may, American lives and
American property in China eball bo
protected, even if it becomes necessary
to resort to arms. Guided by tho ex
periences of the Boxer outbreak of
1900, this government is quietly mo
bilizing a small army in the Philip
pines, within eaBy reach of Chineee
ports, and is maintaining a fair-sized
fleet of war vessels especially adapted
to service in the rivers that reach im
portant Chineee strongholds.
It is a fact that there njro more
troops in the Philippines than at any
time since the pacification of the Phil
ippines. There are now on the way to
the islands two additional regiments of
infantry and two battoriea of artillery.
As Bhown by the records of the Waf
department, the military strength in
the Philippines today included four full
regiments of infantry, in addition to
two companies of engineers and three
companies of the signal corps. These
troops for the most part are in easy
reach of Manila, and a comparatively
large force could be landed on Chinese
eoil on very short notice and still leave
an adequate garrison intli9 Philippines.
To supplement the land force is the
Philippine fleet, which includes the
battlesdips Ohio, Wisconsin and Ore
gon, the last-named under orders to re
turn to this country. It is found,
however, that the Oregon may not be
able to undergo repairs at Puget Eound
for four or five months, and it may be
determined to retain her in tho Orient,
at least until the Chinese disturbances
blows over or cornea to a head. In ad
dition, there are the cruisers Balti
more, Cincinnati, Concord and Ral
eigh, the monitors Monadhock and
Monterey, the gunboats Helena and
Wilmington and a number of smaller
gunboats, which were captured from
Spain and brought into the United
States navy.
Would Stop Creatine Rosorves
Ordor Gonoral Survey.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 10. Sena
tor Ileyburn is going after tho presi
dent's forest rcservo policy again. To
day ho introduced a bill far moro dras
tic than anything ho has heretofore at
tempted. It prohibits further with
drawals of public land for forest rcservo
purposes in Idaho, and stipulates that
where land has heretofore been with
drawn, and has not boon created into
forest resorvos, it Bball immediately bo
restored to tho public domain. It also
provides that no reserve or withdrawal
mado for forestry purposes in Idaho
shall include sections 10 or SO, titlo to
which was in the United States at the
date of tho admission of Idaho into tho
Union. It further stipulates that no
forest reserves shall bo created in Idaho
to includo land heretofore classified
mineral.
Tho effect of tbiB bill, if enacted,
would bo absolutely to put a stop to
forest reserve extension in Idaho, but,
like Mr. Heyburn'a other forestry
bills, it will not pass.
Mr. Ileyburn also introduced a bill
appropriating $100,000 for tho survey
of all unBurveyed public land in Idaho.
Mr. Ileyburn Bays Idaho's development
is being retarded by reason of the fact
that only one-third of the state has
been surveyed. Furthermore, the lack
of surveys makes it impossible for tho
state to perfect many of its selections
made under various special grants.

CHINESE ATTACK MISSION.
STANDS BY EXCLUSION LAW.
Fulton Declares Boycott Cannot Ac
complish Its Repeal.
Washington, Feb. 17. In reaporise
to a request for his views on the Chi
nese boycott, Senator Fulton today
made the following answer:
The real purpose of the Chinese en
gaged in the boycott of American goods
is to secure the repeal of the exclusion
law. No doubt the manner in which
the law has been enforced has in some
instances given just cauee for com
plaint, and tended to intensify and ac
celerate the growing resentment en-
genaerea oy tne law, nut tne real ani
rrius is opposition to the law as a whole
and the purpose is to enforce its repeal.
To that we cannot accede. It is of great
interest and concern to us that cordial
and friendly relations with China shall
be maintained and our trade and com
merce with her increased, but, if such
conditions can only be purchased by
sacrificing the rights and imperiling
the welfare of Americaan labor, the
price is greater than we can afford to
pay.
We must not repeal or substantially
modify the present exclusion law. So
to do would work great hardship on
and be unpardonable injustice to our
own wage earners. We of the Pacific
coast have learned in the school of ex
pcrience how serious a menace to the
peace, prosperity and morals of f,he
community is a large influx of Chinese
cooliea and we will never consent to
legislation making such conditions
again possible.
Viceroys Now Take Lead in Enmity to
White "Barbarians."
London, Feb. 16. The correspondent
at Shanghai of the Standard telegraphs
as follows:
News has reached here of another at
tack on a foreign mission nt Nganking,
province of Nganbwei, on the left bank
of the iangtao iuang river. No loss of
life is reported.
Yesterday an attempt was'made here
by a trusted Chinese eervant to murder
the secretary of the French municipal
council while ho was asleep. The at
tempt was frustrated and the assailant
arrested.
Many of the great provincial viceroyB
are displaying a marked anti-foreign
attitude, which they would hardly dare
so openly to assume unleia they
thought that Pekin approved their con
duct. In tho foreign settlements of
treaty ports efforts are being made
quietly to recover privileges granted to
foreigners.
In some quarters Japan is believed
to view the possibility of armed inter
vention being necessary with equanim
ity, since it would provide her with oc
casion to obtain from China what' she
failed to exact from Russia.
in bnangnai two additional com
panieB of volunteers are being raised
It is reported that the Municipal coun
cil favors strengthening the Sikh police
force by 500 men. Unfortunately, it is
at this juncture that it bas been dead
ed to reduce the British China squad
ron.

Wallowa to Raise Poultry.
Wallowa Demand for poultry
brought buyers hero from La Grande
and other points recently. Ono repro
Bentative of a morcantilo houeo securod
70 dozen in Wallowa this week, paying
$3 for choice Plymouth Kocks. It coats
little to raise fowls here, and the ranch
era think the price received will fully
pay them for feed consumed. Interest
in poultry raising for market to increase
the revenue of tho farm, is gaining con-
Btantly in tho allowa country, and
the induatry promises to become a prac
tical feature of development in this sec

Rojestvensky Says Bad Shipbuilding
Caused His Defeat.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 16. "Perhaps
I am guilty to some extent for our de
feat, and perhaps my subordinates did
not do all they might have done, but
at all events we who have fought the
battles were not thieves," suid Admiral
Rojestvensky, who addressed the Im
perial Technical society yesterday ev6n
ing upon the causes of tbe defeat of the
Russians at the battle of the Sea of
Japan.
Tho admiral made no specifications
regarding rascality in the construction
or equipment of the ships, but be com
mented at length upon the destructive
force of the beavj Japanese shells,
which, when they only exploded in the
water near the Russian vessels, cracked
their plates and opened great leaks,
while those which hit tbe Russian
ships squarely were as destructive as
mines.
A yonng lieutenant during the dis
cussion attempted to lay tbe blame on
submarine boats, but the admiral de
nied that submarine boats or mines
were used during tbe engagement.

Must Pay Wages for Shut-Down.
Warsaw, Russian Poland, Feb. 10.
Considerable comment has beea caused
by the judgment of the communal court
at Widzewo, near Lodz, ordering the
Coates Thread factory to pay the wages
of 800 employes during the ten weeks
the factory waa closed. The works
shut down November 30 and a shortage
of coal was given as tho reason for do
ing so. The court in rendering judi?
ment said it was not lack of coal, but
the high price of coal which induced
the closing, and found that this was
not a good reason.
