LONDON. Sept. 4. The Morning
Poet publishes a letter from Us Con
stantinople correspondent in which he
discusses the Beirut affair ami the po
sition of American missionaries In
Asia Minor. He says:
"Things have arrived at a- crbrfa. TheH
United States must either Insist upon
the Porte listening o Us representa
tions regarding the American converts
or drop the missionaries altogether.
The latter course i naturaUy impossi
ble, and the sending of the squadron
has a great significance as showing a
determination on the part o America
to take an active part in the Turkish
question. : "
One result of this step will probably
be to induce the Sultan to raise his
representative a Washington to the
rank of an ambassador, so that the
United States can be' equally repre
sented here. At present America is at
m decided disadvantage in this respect
compared wKh other first class pow
ers.' "Nobody can quite forsee the ulti
mate attitude of the United; States,
but it Is almost certain her weight
will Incline on the side of the Christian
against the' Turk. Atthe same time,
as a matter of great importance to
Great Britain, Anv-ica is almost

PULLERS BUY WHEAT
TACOMA BUYERS ARE PAYING 83
CENTS FOR BLUE
STEM. TACOMA. ffn, . Sept. 4. Wheat
reached a higher price yesterday than
it has at any time within the past
three years. In the afternoon bluestem
was quoted at 85 cents and club at 82
cents. Tteceipts of wheat at this port
are gradually growing larger, and still
they are very light for this season of
the year. Millers are talcing practi
cally all the wheat that has reached
Tacoma thus far, the prices being
higher than expor'ers feel warranted
In paying. The onty deals being made
among buyers are transactions between
th exporters and millers, whereby the
former dispose of their high-priced
Wheat. c' ;
o new rnarters ror grain carriers
are reported. The charter of a single
ship to load grain at Portland last
week created more talk mong the
wheat men and shipping men in Ta
coma than the chartering of a fleet
would have created last season. J"
Many Inquiries are being received
from South Africa and It is likely that
when priaes are adjusted with export
ing values that continent will share
with Europe wheat exported from Ta
coma. A well-informed Tacoma wheat
man says that not more than 8,000.000
bushels of wheat will be .exported from
Tacoma this year, although he thinks
that the flour exportation will be ,th
heaviest in the history of the port.

f :
PEKIN, Sept. 4. Several wounds in
flicted upon two Americans yesterday
by; French soldiers has created general
ndignation against the policy of the
German and French commanders in or
dering their soldiers to carry side- arms
while off duty.
After the German -Austrian affray
ast May the foreign commanders
agreedNto prohibit the carrying of side
arms outside of the posts. This agree
ment, however, was overruled by the
German general. Their example was
followed by ithe French. All of the
other foreign soldiers travel about un
armed. ,
Vitnesses of the affair of yesterday
declare that the French were clearly
the aggressors. The French command
der treats the matter lightly, but a
strong request for the punishment of
the guilty parties has been made: by

that one or more of the objects of In

CHITJEW BARK, 16 CENTS
THE PEOPLE OF EUGENE ARE
BUSY PEELING THE
' f TREES.
EUGENE. Or, Sept. 4. The high
price of chittlm or cascara bark has
had a great influence on the peelers In
the country districts: A few weeks ago
the bark was reported as sticking to
the trees in such a manner that it was
impossible to get it off in shape for the
market. Agents of various merchants
of the county, however, have been
among the peelers and owners of chit-
tim bark, , and the result is that the
bark has come off in great nuantities.
The price has gradually climbed a frao
tion of a cent and a cent at a time until
now the bark Is worth 16 cents a pound
right here in Eugene. Buyers can pay
this price and ship, to New York and
Hamburg at a good profit.
It Is thousrht that advices received
from the East instructing coast agents
to pay as high as 20 cents per pound
for the bark have been received. , The
dealers here then would be able o pay
something like 17 ; cents before they
would be compelled to Quit.
i This Is an astonishing mark for chit
tlm bark. A very few weeks ago a
prominent buyer was beard at the- tele
phone talking with . a prospective sell
er of bark, and he was making figures
at 4 1-2. 6 and 6 1-2 cents per pound.
Many of these buyers will make good
money on their investments. Enormous
profits on the stuff will be made this
year. ; The peelers are doing fine and
stripping every tree with bark on it.

Alfred Pedley drove J up" to the court

the hardships of being a fugitive from

the man would get tired of the hills.
Itwas too much like exile for one of
his kidney." Pedley stood it for twelve
months, making periodical excursions
to civilization. Then he -got tired of
such life" and surrendered. He pleaded
guilty and was fined $50 and costs. His
long exile in the mountains he : also
