livo Moody, who rilfnderl a similar ex
cuse in a note written in the Chinook
dialect. Rev. Jesse Kirk, a full-blooded
Kalamath, roused enthusiasm by recit
ing the progress of his people. At the
close of the evening Captain Wood al
luded to the presence of one known to
all the guests, an early pioneer whoso
life for over half a century had been
devoted to Oregon's history and journal
ism and called on Mr. Clark, librarian at
the land office law library. The latter
followed brief remarks by recitinic "A
Webfoot Welcome" in verse. As a
finale to the evening' Roodfellowship,
all joined in singing "America."
"Nlialt Not Html, llut Ma)Kt Loot."
Nhw Yohk, Feb. 21. J. Martin Miller,
of this city, who has just arrived, having
reached England from China, by way of
Ceylon, said in an interview:
"I attended two sales of loot in the
Boxer Palace, which the Rev. Dr. Ament
occupied in Pekin, after the relief by the
allies. Dr. Ament took possession of
the treasuies which he found there, held
Bales and kept nccqnnt of the proceeds,
crediting them against the claims which
he makes for mission property destroyed.
Much of the loot was bought by an
American speculator of Shanghai.
"I had an interview with Li Hung
Chang, which indicated that he was pre
paring to ofTset the claims of the powers
for indemnity by giving an account of
the loot taken. Hib Excellency was in
very good humor.
" '1 have just had the Christian com
mandments read to me,' he eaid, through
his interpreter, 'and I think they need
revising. The eighth commandment
should be made to read, "Thou shalt not
steal, but mayest loot." '
"It haB been taid that Your Excellence
is favoring Russia in the negotiations,
becauseyou have an understanding with
that country, and are to be the governor
of Manchuria, I suggested.
" '1 am simply grateful to Russia for
having withdrawn her troops,' His Ex
cellency replied."

ACCEPT TERMS
Proposed Expedition of Yon Waldcrsee
Therefore Unnecessary Russia
And France Will Not Join Him.
Wabiiinuton, Feb. 21. A cablegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from Minister Conger, stating that
theChiueee plenipotentiaries have in
formed the foreign ministers that the
emperor has airreed to all the punish
tnentB named iu his (Conger's) telegram
of February tit li last.
Pakis, Feb. 21. The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has excel
lent authority for the statement that
Field Marshal Count vou Waldersee'e
expedition will not start, as it is be
lieved a decree will be published in Pekin
today, accepting the terms demanded by
the ministers, The expedition, therefore,
will not be necessary.
Should the inforuiatio'n prove untrue,
it can be said upon the same authority,
It is most certain France and Russia will
not participate iu any punitive expedi
tion, us those nations have consistently,1
with the United States, opposed any
military reprisals beyond those necessary
to relieve the legations. The correspond
ent' of the Associated Frees Is informed
that the French minister of foreign uf-
fairs, M. Delcasse, is strongly opposed
to the proposed military expedition.

Ciiicauo, Feb. 21. The Tribune says:
General paseermer agents of the trans
continental roads, in session iu this city,
considered measures for the nbsoluto
maintenance of military rates. Many
of. the regiments in the Philippines are
expected to return home in the near
future, und the roads are anxious to pre
vent a scramble for the business by tiie
various lines, and the cutting of rates
below a paying basis. A pool is now
being formed in connection with this
business, and it is to be divided equally
among all the competing roads.
To carry out this agreement, it was
decided that no bids shall be made by
individual roads, but that hereafter
Chairman McLeod, of the Western
Passenger Association is to put in n bid
for all roada when the government asks
for bids.

How to Cure Croup,
Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia,
Duchess county, N. V., says : "Chamber
lain's Coutfh Remedy is tho best medi
cine I have ever used. It is a fine
children's remedy for croup and never
fills to cure." When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough has developed, it will
prevent the attack. This should be
bo-ne in mind and a bottle of the Cough
Remedy kept at hand ready for instant
use as soon as these symptoms appear.

Nuw YoitK, Feb. 21. J. Martin Miller,
who haB just returned from the Orient,
speaking of his visit to Ceylon, said :
"Up in the hills, nt nn elevation of
3500 feet, in a delightlul climate and in
a tine sanitary situation, I saw the en
campment wiiere 4700 Boer prisoners
were confined with a series of high
barbed-wire fences. There were 200 or
300 Americans among them, and those
I talked witii seemed to owe their plight
to having gone to South Africa rather
from a love of adventure than from any
sympathy with the Boer cause. They
Ime ft good deal of liberty,
"There does not appear to be any
great desire among the Boers for the
war to end, bo that they can go home,
and they appear to be fairly contented.
Boer ofllcerB are at liberty, being re
quired only to report themselves twice
u week,"
