THE CHINESE QUESTION ON THE Pa
CIFIC COAST.

The Wickersham tragedy, reported
in another column, has led to the forma-
ton of an anti-Chinese league at Santa
Rosa, the county seat of Sonoma county,
the object being the expulsion Of all
Chinese from that section of the cOun-
try A meeting attended by over 1000
white citizens was heldat Petaluma in the
same county, and committee of ten was
appointed to warn the Chinese to leave.
In Truckee, Nevada, the three or four
hundred Chinaman in the town are
unmolested despite the threats held out
some time ago, and they are retaliating
by boycotting storekeepers. 1t is quite
evident that the relations between the
Chinese and white population on the
Pacific Coast are becoming too strained
for the permanence of peace, and that
when the apparently inevitable conflict
arises, treaty or no treaty, " the Chinese
must CO."
In the town of Redding, Shasta county,
California, an order for the expulsion of
Chinese has been peacefully carried out.
1t was decided at large public meeting
held at Georges Hall that the Chinese
must leave Redding, and committee Of
forty was appointed to carry the decision
into effect Chinese house cooks and
laundrymen were given five days to pre-
pare, all the others had three days. The
popular order was obeyed to the letter.
The committee in some cases bought
such property as the Chinese could not
dispose of. Guards were placed on
Chinese houses to protect their property.
No personal violence took place.
The anti-Chinese feeling is equally
strong throughout the Coast States and
Territories, and although the San Fran
cisco dynamiters got six months each,
their aversion to Cinnamon is shared in
by the bulk of the population.

ing something of the intense suffering
and agony endured before death ended
the ordeal. A gunshot wound was found,
evidently made by charge of shot, on
the right side, little toward the back.
The shot passed entirely through the
body, piercing the lungs and heart and
coming out at the abdomen. In the
struggle that preceded death the cords
that bound the helpless woman's arms
cut deep into the flesh.
Deceased went to California soon after
the close OF the war, locating first at
Petaluma During the war he was Cap
tain in the Seventeenth Iowa Infantry.
Remaining a short while at Petaluma,
he went to the Sandwich Islands, but
after one year of i'll success returned to
San Francisco and worked for year at
his trade, that of an iron moulder. Re-
turning to Petaluma, he soon after mar
ried the lady whose tragic death has
been chronicled. The lady was then a
widow, named Mrs. Sarah Lindsey, who
had kept millinery shop. The couple
continued to live in or near Petaluma until
March of 1881, when the sheep ranch
on which the murder took place was
bought, since which time they resided
there. Jesse G. Wickersham at the time
of his death was about 50 years old. The
deceased lady was aged 48, of very small
stature, and of delicate appearance.
Both were held in the highest esteem by
all who knew them. They were child
less, and with the exception OF hired
help, they lived alone on the ranch
The ranch on which the murder tool
place comprises about 1000 acres and i:
well stocked. The estate of the deceased
is estimated by the nephew to be wortl
about $4,000.

FEEDING INFANTS.

The Fatal Results of Forcing Infants to
Eat Against Their VIII.
In no detail of nursery routine is
"knack" more serviceable than in feed
ing infants. This is especially true
during the first days of weaving time.
when the mothers anxiety over re-
fusal even to taste the novel food in the
novel way is apt to be at the most dis
tressing point. What often passes for
distaste, or even lack of appetite, may
be only a momentary whim, easily
overcome by little judicious persua-
sion, perhaps under cover of some lit
tie ruse or a temporary diversion of
the attention, during which the feed
ing may be accomplished in a mechan-
ical way. An attempt TO force a child
to eat against his will, even when OBJ
viously in need of nOurishment, may
do more than fail of its purpose; it
NAV provoke a rebellieus spirit, and
create an aversion, not only to the par
ticular food administered, but to any
other that may be offered which would
under other circumstances be entirely
acceptable to the fastidious little one.
This repeated refusal adds anxiety to
anxiety, the feet being overlooked that it
is abnormal and might easily have been
averted. Moreover, we can not tell to
what extent our own feelings at such
time react, in spite of ourselves, on
the baby; but react they often do, and
only add complication to our troubles.

Honolulu, February 5, 1886.
HONOLULU, February 2, 49,

Honolulu, February 2, 1856.
To Theophilus H. Davies, Esq.-Sir:
L beg to acknowledge the receipt OF your
second open letter, dated January 18th.
With the letter that accompanied it, adj
dressed to the Rev. Alex. Macintosh, l
have nothing to do, and 1 fear that
clergyman may have cause to regret that
he acted as your obedient servant in
handing to his Bishop the accusations of
the Vice Consul.
now stand accused before this COM
munity by the British Vice Consul,
a. OF having formed a most dis
honorable plan for proceeding with the
erection of the Cathedral, whereby a
debt of nearly ten thousand dollars would
be kept out of sight.
(2.) OF having proposed to certain
parties the commission of an indictable
ofense.
The first of these charges is rendered
all the graver by the work, in which l
am charged with this dishonorable in
tention, being one undertaken for the
glory and honor of God.
These charges affect me not merely as
a citizen of Honolulu, but as Bishop OF
the Church of God.
If these charges can be sustained, /
am no longer worthy of any participa-
ton in the government of the Anglican
Church, and my name should be struck
off the roll of Bishops.
1 therefore demand that you prefer
these charges against me before the one
tribunal to which, as Bishopo of Honolulu,
am amenable, that of the Archbishop
of Canterbury. l demand that the
letter containing these charges be sent
forward to His Grace by the next steamer
for San Francisco, and that copy of the
accusation so forwarded be previously
published in two English and two Ha-
waiian newspapers of this city, so that
the whole community may know the ma
ture of the charge laid against me before
found to be true, you will rid the Anglican
Episcopate of an unworthy member. If
they are found to be false, shall ask His
Grace to call the attention of Lord Sails
bury to this attack on the Episcopate by
the delegate of Her Majesty's represen-
tative in Honolulu.
AS you now appear in the role of pub
lie accuser, shall look to the courtesy
OF the press to give publicity to this let
ter. / am, the accused,
ALFRED WILLIS,
Bishop of Honolulu.

For some days previous, unsuccessful at

A PRiVATE,S GLORY.

Sweet little Major, he mounts my knee,
And the tender blue eyes look at me.
''Tell me, Pepsi, just once more,
What did you do when you went to war;
And then tell of the autumn day
When the Forty-seyenth marched away;
How Cromwell died at Jackson town,
And Miles on Corinth's field went down.
''But how many rebels, tell me true,
Did you kill then, the whole war through"
And / tell him then with eager zest
How 10 Reed blew up timber chest.
But the Major sticks to his question still,
How many rebels did you kill?'
SO tell him how, near the set of sun,
The charge was made and the battle won.
And how, the day Mcclure was sh OF,
When Nicksburg's fight was fierce and hot,
Brave Sam Law took Company in
Through flame and smoke and the batteries
din.
How over our heads the battle broke
With screaming shell and sober stroke,
And he wanted TO know. the little elf,
But how many men did you kill yourself?'
''Say, tell me, Popsie. say you will
How many rebels did you killg''
So told him the truth, as near as might be-
As many of them as they did of me.

styles fer the New Yeer.

Modstes, both in Europe and America,
have tried hard to sustain the fashions set
early IN the season for palmer styles i'm
dresses, but without avail. for women will
not accept the plain full skirt.
The style of draperies has been modified;
that is to say, they are palmer and more
artistic In their straight lines than in their
high bunchineSs, and when trains are worn
they flow quite plain, the only trimming be-
ing large cord around the edge. Ninety
inches Is the fashionable length, and it takes
an artist of no mean order TO cut and hang
one of these trains. They must sweep grace
fully or the whole effect Of the costume is
spoiled.
In the fashions for January, 1856, one
finds the same low bodice worn in January
1885. 1t is cut open to a point both back
and front and, among the most modest of
women, is filled in with lace, tuIle or en-
brcidered gauze. a leading society lady
had an evening dress opened tt the waist
line in front, but the space was filed i'm
with straps and puffS of the rich materials
of the costume.
The Grecian bodice was revived during
the past year, but did not become popular.
During the winter of 'S5 debutantes largely
monopOliZed white silk tulle over satin
merveilleux, or white surah. The regula-
ton order of confirmation dress was white
muslin, but those with ample means donned
a plain white satin costume.
The plain silk tulle introduced one wear
ago was handsome, but many improve
ments have been made i'm the fabric, until
now it IS gorgeous in its rich embrOIderes
of gold and silver or shimmering beads in
all imaginable hues.
The silk industry of this country, which
despite all dis cOuragements, has made
most remarkable progress, now takes front
rank in the manufacturing enterprises of
the day.
Surah silks have become a standard arti-
Gle. They are firmly fixed in the good will
of the ladies, and their introduction marked
one OF the most Important advances in the
domestic manufacture of silk goods. 1t is
one of the most durable and satisfactory of
all dress materials, and American surahs
stand at the head of this class of fabrics.
New figures in American brocaded silks
are the poetry Of design and color and pass
all description in words. The combining
of new colOrs in evening silks shows a mas
terly hand and are particularly noticeable
for their delicacy. The patterns are choice
and the goods in all resDe' is bear favorable
comparison with imported stutfs that are
double the cost. Entirely new designs are
shown i'm the dark colOrs. Heraldic figures
and emblems are small nd clearly defined
in gold, or gold and green upon black
grounds.
