" The od jtory of the Whitman mas sacre was .retold. From the lips of these few survivors, all of whom were children at the tune, came details of the killing. Then there "is . the story of the Indian Iscariots two redskins who, -befriended and helped by the good Dr. Whitman, turned against him to assume the role of Judaa In? the hour when he needed the assistance of all true 'friends. TWO TREACHEROUS ITfDIAJf S These two Indians Tamsuky. a Cayuse chief,' and joe Lewis, a rene gade halfbreed were immediately re sponsible for ; the tragedy. After the return of Dr. Marcus Whit man from Washington! where he vis ited President Tyler and Secretary of State Webster to interest them in the saving of Oregon for the United States, the Indians became restive, and ugly. They coqld form 'no. conception of the exalted sentiments Which actuated the missionary who ministered unto them spiritually and physically. To them American occupation meant the loss of their lands and toothing more. REMOVAL CONTEMPLATED Dr. Whitman i perceived the danger, land daring the summer of 1847. he had ivutcuiyiKtxu a. iriiiuvfti iu x lie xs&iies. He had arranged to purchase the Meth odist mission and was planning to go there in the spring. In the -meantime sinister - influences' were gathering around him. Tamsuky and Lewis added the coals to the fire that was to burst forth later. During the summer of 1847 measles introduced by immigrants became epi demic among the -Cayusea. .-Their na tive method of treating anything of a feverous.,, nature was to enter a sweathouse, strip themselves of cloth ing and remain there until thoroughly steamed" Then they would plunge naked., and perspiring Into the cold water. Death was . of ttimes the re sult. Whitman was faithful in his service, but many of -the Indians suc cumbed. , ,;' i . At this moment the halfbreed Lewis was keen enough to realise that his time for a, death blow had come. He made his brothers think that the doc tor nai poisoning thera. Lewis even went eo far, it is said, as to declare that, he had overheard a conversation between Dr. Whitman and Rev. H. H. Spalding, another missionary, in which the two ' discussed what they , would do when they secured possession of .the country, Monkeys Used to Learn if Leprosy Is Caught Directly By International Ketrt Service Manila, Dec 2. Dr. Liborio Oomea. a FUipino sctenUst of the bureau of sci ence staff here, is uslngf 100 monkeys in experiments designed, to determine de finitely whether or not leprosy can tie contracted directly. The Hawaiian ex periments on this point in 1880 were not conclusive : two convicts were re leased from prison on consent to be in oculated, and post-mortem years later on. the body of one showed evidence of leprosy,, but he had been with lepers in prison and had leper relatives. Dr. Gomel's monkeys have all been inoculated with leprosy. It is too early as yet to' learn whether or. not any of them have contracted the disease.

The Chinese politi cal - situation jiere is much disturbed and there are unconfirmed rumors that a new monarchist coup is to be at tempted at the time Heuan Tung. Chinese deposed emperor, marries on December 1. President Li Yuan-Hung, according to re porta, is being torn between two factions, one of them with headquar ters at Loyang. . where '. resides Gen eral Wu Pei-Pu, the man .who put him Into office, and the other at Pao tlngfu, where General Tsao-Knn, rival Chili party war 'lord and Wu Pei Fu's nominal successor, has his head quarters as the head of the opposing faction. CVIU PASTT BROKE . The situation already has resolved Itself into one wherein parliament seems determined to oust Li Yuan Hung's cabinet, mostly because the cabinet is composed of the followers of General Wu Pei-Fu. while the presi dent, himself a Wu-Pei-Fu adherent; is proving, himself weak and afraid to antagonize Tsao-Kun or to come out with constructive measures for the upbuilding- of the government. Meanwhile . Li Yuan-Hung is taking orders only from Wu Pei-Fu. The powerful Chili party, which formerly dominated government affairs, is broken up. the moderates siding with Wu Pei-Ku, awhile the radicals are forming a new party at Tien Tsin. As the rival factions are contend ing for control many millions of Chi nese who sun do not know that the government Is republican instead -of Imperialistic, have become suddenly awake te the idea that ' the boy em peror is to take a bride on December 1. and are much excited. JTor the first time since 1911. the imperial yellow colors . are being widely displayed. CABINET BEHIGX8 '"- ' ' While rumors of an Intended mon archist coup are confirmed, it should be remembered .that since the - ad vent of the republican form of ; gov ernment in China, the country has con tinually ' and gradually ' been going from better to worse and that the po litical strife.' now prevalent is the worst ever, all because of the rivalry be tween militarists who have only one objective the control of the country's rinances. '. Ll.Yuan-Hung's cabinet has resigned but members . declare they intend to stay in office until the charge against Lo Wen-Kun, finance minister, of accepting a bribe of 100,000 sterling have been dismissed or be has been proved guilty. At -ihe same time a charge that all members of the cabi net accepted a five million dollar bribe is being made by the speaker of the lower house. The latter has offered to lay his evidence before the president, but Li Yuan Hung does not want it. MOVIKO IX FEKIXG ' General Peng Yuh-Siung, Christian military . leader and former military governor of Ho nan; is moving toward Peking with 30,000 . of his troops and it is thought that he is- ready to back up parliament in its attack on the cabinet, 'Meanwhile General Wu Pel- Fu also is bringing 'in troops from Yangtse which, will be used .if any new monarchist coup is attempted. It is undoubted, that General Chang porting tne -monarchist', move -as a means of , eliminating both Wu Pel-Fu and General Tsao, Kun from Chinese political life. In this he also is un doubtedly having the support of Jap anese who are still angry ' because Japanese loans, particularly the Niahi- hara loans, have been ignored by the Chinese government, which apparently Is going on the theory that all for elgn loans "that- are possible must be arranged but that the time' for paying tnem can be overlooked.
