and quiet reigned in the town yesterday.

churches here yesterday were all well. filled.
NO arrests have been made by the police.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 9.-Indictments
have been found at Vancouver against
pating in the nti-Chinese outrages. The
Mayor OF Tacoma heads the listof those in
dicted, and among the number is the Pro-
bate Judge of Pearce 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 NetUs. 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 az
an end. There may be a few more meet
ingS, but no more outrages.
