Lisiion, Dec. 7- The steamer

Pedro, of Brazil, and rarty on
board, and Hying the old Brazilian
flag arrived in Tagues this morn
ing. She anchored off Belem, a
suburb of Lisbon, opposite Lazar

came ashore immediately. They
landed at tho naval arsenal. Be
fore the party left the steamer she
was boarded by King Carlos, who
extended a warm welcome to the
ex-emperor. Dom Pedro is in ex
cellent spirits, and appears not to
have suffered by the recent events
in Brazil. It is said he intends to
issue a iJianifesto to the Brazilian

discuss the recent events in Brazil.
Count Deu intends to go to Spain

San Francisco, Dec. 7. By th
arrival of the new steamer China, ad
vices are reoeived from Done Kong to
November 13, and from Yokohama to
November 22. Chinese troops have
suffered a rather severe defeat from
savages in aouiu roimosa, tnree or
four hundred ot them being killed.
InKeeently a mob attacked the Chiaa
land and Methodist Episcopal mis
sions at isauit and destroyed both
chapels and an opium refuge, and
stoned the official who attempted to
interfere. Ihe missionaries and
ladies took refuge in Yamenen.
The German steamer Duburc, which
left Singapore for Hong Kong on
October 25, has not since been heard
of, and it is feared she may have en
countered the recent typhoon and
foundered. If no, the disaster is aa
appalling one, for the had on board
400 passengers.

t
! PrrtTLANii, Dec. 7. Win. Baker
and John Frai.zee, the two Indians
! who were recently indicted for com
mitting a criminal assault upon an
Indian girl named Winnie Thompson,
who lives at the Siletz reservation,
were arraigned before Judue Deady
this morning and entered pleas of net
guilty. They are both hard-looking
characters. Baker has holes punched
in both ears, and formerly wore
goote quills iu them. District Attor
ney McArthur stated to tiie court
that, id view of the gravity ot the
charge, he wa disposed to give the
accused plenty of time to prepare
their cases. Neither of them has yet
cured counsel. The court set the
trial for Friday, December 27.
rhe victim of the two brutes istnly
9 years old, and tel'.s a story which
cannot he doubted. She lived at the

and a few weeks ago complained of
beintr unwell. Ku examination dis
closed the fact that she wae lufferini;
from a loathsome disease, which she
co n leased was communicated to her
by he prisoners. It is known that
thev were affected by the same
trouble.
The punishment in such a case is
death.

Hon, John F. Capl -s to defend him,
but as im cmild not pay the sum ot
$250, being the fee demanded by the
attorney, he did not secure his ser
vices ami will have to look elsewhete
for Uiial tale i. Thcie is said to be
a great deal of feeling about Siletz
against theso men, though the ac
cused have a number of friends who
are endeavoring to force the little girl
to change her testimony aBti have the
eh&rge withdrawn. Deputy Marshal
Huberts, who arrebttd the men, ays
there is no doubt in the locality
where they lived as to their guilt.

who is most interested in the "coin

It is wrong to marry for wealth,

An Old Sailor C laims to Know tho
Location of WiT, O.OOO.
t'lLUOY, Dec. 7, An old sailor,
I'ete Jennings, who has been working
on Millers Bloomdeld ranch, claims
to have been a passenger many years
mice with an old pirate, who, on his
death bed, divulged the secret hiding
place of a quarter-million of treasure
in Spanish doubloons, the place being
Wall island, in the Paoili-: ocean,
three degrees south of the equator,
off the South American coast.
A company was organized during
the late war to lok for tins tr-asurc,
but tailed to start on account ot gov
erornent interference. Jennings has
now succeeded in interesting capi
talists from the East sojourning here,
and, believing his story, they, with
him, ye terdar started for San Fran

of the gold.
TEtCPERAHCE BOTES.
Contributed by the W C. T. V.'.
Kvan.tox, UJ.. Nov, 2t, 18S9,
lo the iiiditor: the bitterly tar
tisan papers oi the country nave so
industriously circulated misleading
statements concerning the recent con
yention of the national W. C- T. U,
held in Chicago, thit I earnestly ask
you as a friend ( the truth, to pub
lish the following facts in the matter
Oue would think from these sensa
tionai reports that this convention
had done nothing from beginning to
end but discuss the vice-president i
bar-room, abuse Mr, Fester, berate
the republicans and pass third party
resolutions.
On the cont. ary, the vice-presideat
bar-room would aouDtiess nave re
ceived very little attentioa had net
the partisan papers taken Miss Wil
lard to task so unjustly for accusing
the vine-president on the authority o
an unreliable newspaper, although as
is well known, the so-oalled accusa
tion had already been for days before
the public through the associated
press dispatches, while Miss Willard
in her address simply expressed
desire that, in sorrow, not in anger,
protest should be sent to the vice-
president tor permitting a bar in his
new hotel.
In respect to the second charge it
may be said that Mrs. Foster was
given the floor wheceyer she asked it,
was granted extentioa of time again
and again and was heard with entire
respect on the part of delegates and
members. The patience and courtesy
with which she was treated were sub
jects of remark by many spectators.
The third charge is entirely un
founded. No party prohibitionists
were more cordially received by the
convention than were the Hon. Heury
W. Blair, republican senator frum
New llamphire, and Major Pickler,
rt publican congressman-dec from
South Dakota.
A resolution was passed rejoicing
that the republic m party in South
Dakota has declared tor prohibition,
and many of the leading women
plainly stated before the convention
that the national V. C. T. U will
eudorse any aud all parties that will
stand for our principle.
As to the last point, very little has
yet been published concerning the
great number of other subjects engag
ing the actention of this meeting.
Many reporters sat listless and idle or
went away during the hours devoted
to prayer and Bible service, or to re
ports of department work and ad
dresses on topics not sensational, but
were all attentive whenever politics
or Iowa was mentioned. All of Fri
day mo. ning was devoted to a conse
cratiun service.
Every morning session began with
a Bible reading from nine to ten
o'clock. A deep re igious spirit per
vaded the entire astembly. Each day
at noon all other things were laid
aside while? one united noontide
prayer went up to the Father of all.
So far as the convention itself was
concerned the reports ot department
work were of the greatest interest and
importance and received the closest
attention. Permit me in closing t
mention a few points, merely, from
these reports, to give an idea of what
the W. C, T. U. is doing anyhow; be
sides discussing political questions:
More than $1100 have been spent in
work among foreigners, nearly 100
different kinds of tracts in fourteen
different languages having been pub
lished; a capital stock of $542,000 has
been secured for the temperance tem
ple; 200,000 children have been
gathered into Loyal Temperanee
Legions.
The legislatures of twenty-seven
states and the national congress have
made the science of temperanee a re
quired study iu all school under their
control; the gain of pledged Sunday
school scholars in ten states alone is
more than 40,000; the Woman's Tem
perance Publication Association has
sent out more than 125,000,000 pages
of temperanee and religious literature.
These items do not summerize but
simply suggest the vast work already
accomplished by the Woman's Chris
tain Union under the inspiration of
this motto: No sectarianism in relig
ion, no sectionalism in politics, no sex
in citizenship; but each and all of us
for God and home and native land.
