could readily lend the ' heartiest in

Great -Ss may, be his desire for more

" 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,

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.

. Peking. Dec 2. 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.

Chicago. Dec 2. When the new state
constitution Is votedbn at the special
election on December 12, tbe question
Whether the Blbla shall tw ,l AaUir
in. the poblio schools is likely to prove
a determining factor. -
'The provision inserted In the consti
tution to be acted upon is causing a
storm of argument as j debate through '
the state. Tt" has been, suggested that v
if the constitution finally is rejected
this simple provision may have a great
deal to do with it, .
It Is, of course, impossible to deter
mine Just how the people will act on
this single provision because there are '
other Tcontroversial sections in the docu
ment.- But the Bible reading provi
sion must have a material bearing on
the result in , the , view of politicians
who are watching the growth of the
religious s controversy u now increasing
in strength througjbout . the state, .
CHURCHES ARE ACTIVK
Church organizations have taken no
tice .of . the1, provision; and have taken
positive stands on. the subject. Of the
last organizations to go on record, one,
a Catholic group, recorded Itself tn op- '
position, while another. Methodist in '
character, is Infavor of the provision.
The resolutions of the Cxtholie group
do not go alone to the Bible reading
clause, hut declare in opposition to the
proposed constitution because of fail
ure to Include the initiative and ref
erendum and because a distinction is
made' between the citlseus of Cook
county, city of Chicago, and those of
the other counties of the state, by cur
tailing the privileges of the Chicagoans.
But the Bible reading factor is very
prominently mentioned. . . s
"There should be no half way about "
religious Instruction," one committee
declared,- "and It Is not fair nor just
to conmpel parents who have ho re
ligious beliefs or are Hot Christians
to . compel ; their C children ; to attend
school .where the teacher may not be
content with reading a passage out of
the Bible but will go further and ex
plain it." " , .
VIEWS ABB BiPrAUnSD i
The Deaconess Aid society of the
Methodist Vhurch takes , an opposite
view and asserts that If the provision Is
adopted, all that the teachers will do
is to read the passages from the Bible
the same as - they would any other
textbook. Catherine .Waugh McCul- '
lough, prominent woman lawyer, who
has fought for adoption, said :
"The constitution simply permits ths .
Bible to toe read without comment- This
could., be done,7 anyhow,. Inasmuch; as
there 1 no bar for studying the Bible, .
