A Portland dispatch says: A few days
ago Father Wilbur, Superintendent Of the
Yakima Indian reservation, received riders
to have Chief Moses in readiness to go
with the other prominent chiefs from the
Umatilla reservation to Washington. Moses
looks upon the matter with considerable
suspicion, thinking it a device to get him
to the Indian Territory. To relieve Moses
mind from any Suspicion, Father Wilbur
gave him a furlough of thirty days to visit
his people. Thursday last Moses left the
reservation, and had been absent about
three hours, when a crowd Of citizens ar
rived from Yakima City and Fort Simcoe
Agency headquarters, headed by officers
with a warrant for the arrest Of Moses.
The Grand Jury of that county had found
an indictment against him as an accessory
to the Perkins murder. Moses has gone
direct to his camp, beyond Priests rapids,
is doubtless aware Of the intent Of the
people, and will prepare himself accord
ingly. Any precipitate attempt will in
volve the country in a relentless and bloody
war. The situation is one of great peril,
and it is now looked upon as almost GER
tain that a war with Moses and other tribes
is inevitable.

THE most effective point in Mr.. Blaine's
late letter on the Chinese question, and
which can be appreciated by the people Of
the coast, 10 that in which he shows that
Chinese immigration is not voluntary, but
that nine-tenths Of the Cinnamon are
brought here under contracts Of labor,
presenting the strongest analogy to slavery
for terms Of years. Inasmuch as the Chi
nese in this country have their own laws,
and oven their own courts, wherein these
contracts are enforced, they amount to in
voluntary servitude. In other words, the
old conflict between free and slave labor is
renewed in an aggravated form, in which
FREQ labor is at a greater disadvantage than
it WAS in the Southern States before the
war.
