METHODS OF DEFENSE.
Catholic Missionary Writes Detailed
Account of the Method By Which
Missions Are Protected Against
the Boxtrs,
NEW YORK, June IS. Rev. C. Erin,
of the Catholic Mission at Klang Nan,
where there Is now danger from the
Boxers, has written an account of how
the members of his community meet
all attacks of the natives. He says:
"Those sections of our mission which
border on southern Chans Tung are
no less Infested with bands of robbers
end murderers than Chang Tung It
elf. These brigands organise In eg
ular companies under a supremi chief
end subordinate leaders. They live to
gether in villages and districts which
become their headquarter!.
"At ord'nary times they attend to
their UBual work at home and In the
fields and behave, to all appearances,
like peaceful citisens. But suddenly an
order comes to take the fleli and they
march forth in a body, Impose contrl
buttons on other villages, burn and even
kill without scruple. If they have
grudge against some Mandarin they
cssemMr In sufficient numbers to form
a large army, and are not afraid to
fight pitched battles with the troops
cnt out against the:n. It Is not hard
to see how much trouble such men can
rive, and Indeel i. I.e. to the mis
sionaries.
"But the missionaries, on their Bide,
have devised a plan for protecting
themselves and their Christians, which
Is not the least of their successes In
China. As soon as the Inhabitants of
some village have been converted, the
fathers, while attending to the duties
of their apostolic ministry, see that
they are thoroughly drilled and taught
to watch the enemy and defend them
selves in case of necessity. The Man-
tiarina look with favor on these meas
ures, vhlcli are of eivat assistance to
them, and they are alway ready to
send reinforcements when liotlfled of
a threatened attack. Thus It happens
that, -when the marauders fall upon a
Christian village, Uvy are greeted with
a sharp fire of guns aid cannon, and
are Ren-uaKy beaten back with heavy
losses.
"To get n true Idea of one of our
mission centres in the districts which
the robber bands have hitherto terror
ized at pleasure, picture to yourself
every Christian vilage as a small
stronghold, fortified at every point of
vantage. In the centre of the village
stands the residence of the commander,
who Is none other than the missionary.
This residence is a regular citadel,
surrounded by high walls and flanked
at its corners by four towers well for
tified also. There are no doors. The
going in and out is effected by means
of ladders which are each time drawn
back within.
"During the day the father attends to
his duties and the Chinese to their
work. At nightfall every one is at
home again and if danger has been sig
nalled they all retire within the fort,
sentries being appointed to keep watch
from the towers. At the first cry of
alarm the men are up in arms and
the father directs the defense. If the
enemy has been reported in larger
numbers than usual, the missionary
has taken care to ask the Mandarin
for additional help, and Is therefore
well prepared to repulse the assail
ants. As a result of these measures the
brigands become little by little dls-ri'irae-pd
and leave the Christian vll-

CATHOLIC FEDERATION.
Plans for the Affiliation of All Cath
olic Societies to Promote Jus
tice to Catholics.
NEW YORK. June li-Wlth a view
to present action, a project that has
for Its object the federation of all the
societies In the United States, com
posed of Roman Catholic laymen, is
being discussed In Catholic circles
throughout the country. Some Influen
tial clergymen and laymen are Inter
ested. By the plan all Catholic societies are
to become affiliated, although each sep
arate organisation Is to retain its indi
viduality. The idea is to have all the
members of the societies subject to a
central direction so that all may work
together whenever necessary for any
special purpose.
It is argued that Roman Catholics In
this country are unfairly treated in
some respects. The projectors of this
union hold that Catholic voters would
be able to right whatever wrongs are
now declared to exist.
Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, N. J., is
a warm supporter of the project. He
has prepared an address, which Is be
ing circulated extensively In support of
the federation Idea, In which he says:
"We are American citisens. Bigotry
should not be allowed to deprive us of
the exercise and 'enjoyment of any of
our rights.
"We are 12,000.000 in America, yet
how small Is our influence. What rep
resentation have we in state and na
tional affairs when we measure it with
the proportion we bear to the whole
population of the country? If a Cath
olic presumes to stand for any political
office, that same Individual who has
enjoyed the benefit of our suffrages
may perhaps De the first to ory out,
'Don't vote for him, he's a Catholic'
All- honor to the. Protestants for
the courage with which they stand in
defense of their rights."

possible for a person suspected of hav

only at San Francisco, but at other
ports along the Pacific coast have been
Instructed to be mot watchful and the

C. N. Sterry, chief counsel of the
Santa Fe railroad company, which is
ignoring Dr. K.'nyoun'e order providing
for the Inspection of certificates at the

AMERICAN WIN'S.
Triumphs Over an English Syndicate In
Yenetuelu.
NEW YORK. June lS.-Accordlng to
a dispatch to the Herald from Cara
ca. the court of last resort has given
final Judgment In favor of Mr. Trum
bull, a citlxen of the I'nlted States, a
the owner of the Orinoco Iron mines
against the Beeder-Searles-Grant syn
dlcato. The Orinoco Iron Company of
this city had obtained from the Yen-
exuelan government a concession for
mining ore In a region extending sixty
miles beyond Manoa, on the Orinoco
river. The company began operations,
but the legullty of the grant was at
tacked by the Raleigh Syndicate, an
English combination. The supreme
court of Yenexueta decided In favor of
the American concession.
The Orinoco Company was capitalist
at $30,000,000, and besides Its Iron min
ing intsrests owns considerable rubber
forests and graxlng lands and several
gold mines In Venezuela. Its grant of
land from Venezuela Is said to hae
been one of the motives for the vigor

CRISIS AT AN END.
Ministerial Complications at CapeTown
Cease to Annoy the British.
NEW YORK. June 18. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: News
from South Africa was very meagre at
midnight. The opinion prevails at
Cape Town that the Delagoa Bay com
munications will be cut off speedily
and the war brought to a close. There
have been many untrustworthy rumors
about secr;t expeditions toward Ko
matlpoort, but there has been no defi
nite Information that any movement of
this kind Is in progress through Swaz
Hand. Lord Roberts' own plan of
campaign seems to involve complet
separation of the Free State and the
Transvaal forces by the occupation of
the railway between Johannesburg and
Lalng's Nek, which will probably be

Press dispatches indicate that no ad
vance has been made from Volksrast
toward Ermelo, and that there has been
no change in the situation in the Free
State. General Rundle's division 1

WILD WHEAT MARKET.
Reports of a Shortage In the Dakolas
Causes Excitement on 'Change,
CHICAGO, June 18,-Tho startling
reports of the extreme gravity of the
crop Hltua'.lm In the wheat-growing
states of North Dnkota, South Dakota
and Minnesota made a wildly excited
opening In wheat. The demand for
wheat, especially from the Northwest)
was fur ahead of any this year. Com
mission houses were stuffed with buy
ing orders from all sections, July open
cd higher at 7C to and
at the most without check, went boom
Ing up to 7a, one-eighth under the
high-water mark of last year. The
market closed at over Saturday at
7S?4 0 78.
The great mass of reports may be
briefly summarized as follows: Sat
unlay and Sunday were the worst days
of the season for the spring wheat
crop of the Northwest. Many sections
In the Northwest will not raise enough
wheat for seed. Thirty million bushels
Is nn outside possibility fur the Norih
Dakota crop, which last year npprox-
mated 80,000,000 bushels. North Da
kota, South Dakota and Minnesota
combined cannot raise over 100,000,000
bushels, a decrease from lOHt year of
120,000,000 bushels. The entire yield of
winter and spring wheat, notwithstand
ing the "bumper" crop of Kunsas, will
not be over 500,000,000 bushels, accord
ing to the estimate of statisticians now.
