fore the party left the steamer she

San Francisco, Dec. 7. By th

November 22. Chinese troops have
suffered a rather severe defeat from
savages in aouiu roimosa, tnree or

InKeeently a mob attacked the Chiaa

stoned the official who attempted to
interfere. Ihe missionaries and
ladies took refuge in Yamenen.
The German steamer Duburc, which

appalling one, for the had on board

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.

cannot he doubted. She lived at the

and a few weeks ago complained of

The punishment in such a case is

but as im cmild not pay the sum ot
$250, being the fee demanded by the
attorney, he did not secure his ser

a great deal of feeling about Siletz

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eh&rge withdrawn.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

there is no doubt in the locality
where they lived as to their guilt.

three degrees south of the equator,

A company was organized during
the late war to lok for tins tr-asurc,

and, believing his story, they, with

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.
