THE ANTI-cHINEsE WAR.
A Number of Prominent Persons
Indicted at Tacoma.
The Agitation on the Northwest
Coast at an End.

PORTLAND, Ore; Nov. Oft is reported
here today that District Attorney White OF
Washington Territory has asked Attorney
General Garland for aid in prosecuting tiie
Tacoma agitators. The ordinary business ls
so heavy that he will not be able to give SUI
fcient attention to the cases, which VIII
probably be sixty in number. The Mayor of
Tacoma heads the list of persons indicted by
the Grand Jury at Vancouver. Among
those indicted is the Probate Judge of Pierce
county, in which Tacoma is situated; the
President of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation Of Tacoma; several saloon Keepers
and the editor and proprietor of the Tacoma
News 1t will be about ten days before the
United States District Attorney will be ready
for the trial of the rioters, but the whole par
ty will be brought to Vancouver immediate
ly, and if bail cannot be given they must go
to Jail. The mob at Tacoma, frightened by
the Chinese whom they accused of having
fired the houses from which their country
men were driven by the mob.
SEATTLE, W. T., Nov. 9.-Seattle was com.
paratively quiet yesterday. The arrival OF
United States troops seemed to have the. ef-
feet desired. There is evidently a bitter
feeling on the part of somes;, on account OF
the presence Of troops. Those who have
property congratulate President Cleveland
upon his action. There will be no outbreak
here now upon the "ChineSe must go" queS-
ton General Gibbons, commander of the
department arrived here last night and it is
expected five companies will be sent back to
Vancouver today The troops came here
fresh from the paymaster and the saloons
and restaurants are reaplng no small har-
vest.
PORTLAND Ore, Nov. 9.It may be safe
ly said that the anti-Chinese agitation on the
Northwest Coast is at an end. There may
be few more meetings, but no more outra-
ges will be perpetrated. Nine-tenths of those
who have engaged in the demonstrations are
of the same class as the notorious ''Sand
Letters Of San Francisco, and small sn pun nun,
Lot mob four years ago. The leaders of
the agitation at Tacoma and Seattle were
not workingmen, but professional politicians
of small caifbre, who hoped to make capital
out of it. Since Saturday the. leaders have
suddenly awakened to realization of the
fact that they have committed a crime
against the United States and territorial
laws for which they will be held responsible.

Who Represents New York
District.

New YORK, Nov. 9.-The smallest man in
the Congress that is soon to assemble in
Washington is Truman A. Merriman. He
represents West Side district and was
elected by an overwhelming majority. He
is barely five feet tall, and weighs about 100
pounds. He was the political reporter on a
morning newspaper in this city. and made
such good use of his opportunities that he
was nominated by the united democracy He
is strong political worker, but ne sort of a
speaker, and has more political friends than
any other man in the country. Since his
election he has done nothing but try to get
office for his constituents. He will be a val
liable committeeman, but it is not likely that
he will get place of any account. New
men never do; nor is it likely that. he will
fill many pages in the Congressional Record
He will vote AYE" or may" and look out
for offices for the workers in his district
