SEATTLE, W. r., Nov. 9.-Six compa-
MES of the Fourteenth Infantry were sent
from Vancouver to this place Saturday.
Their presence has had a wonderful effect,
and quiet reigned in the town yesterday.
The Grand Jury will bring indictments, it
is feared, against many who have infringed
the law in intimidating Cinnamon. The
churches here yesterday were all well filled.
No arrests have been made by the police.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. a-Indictments
have been found at Vancouver against
tllirty-two citizens of Tacoma for particle
pating in the anti-Chinese outrages. The
Mayor of Tacoma heads the listof those in
dicted, and among the number is the Pro
bate Judge of lcarcr County, in which
Tacoma is situated, the President of the
Young MEMS Christian Associa-
ton of Tacoma, several saloon
Keepers, and the editor and proprietor Of
the Tacoma NcUs. 1t will be about ten
days before the United States District
attorney will get ready for the trial of the
rioters, but the whole gang will be brought
to Vancouver Immediately. The mob at
Tacoma is frightened by the turn affairs
have taken and have released the Chinese,
whom they accused of having fired the
houses from which their countrymen were
driven by the mob. District Attorney
White, of Washington Territory, has asked
Acknowledgement Garland for aid in prose-
cutting the Tacoma agitators.
1t may be safely said that the anti Chi.
nese agitation on the Northwest coast is at
an end. There may be a few more meet
lngS, but no more %OutrageS.
