their surroundings. and when he has nm
ished his tour will go to Rome to report 10
the general Of the order after short stay
at the Worlds fair The object in making
this tour is that the head of the order may
obtain clear idea Of the changed circuu-
stances now existing in regard TO the mis-
sions Of the Northwest as compared Win
ten. twenty, forty and sixty years ago.
When taese missions were f1rsf planted
the only objec. in view was the conversion
and civilization of the Indians. AMI their
success in this respect was recently at
tested by the late Maj Peter Roman, ofthe
Fiathead agency, in an interview couple
of weeks ago Within the last few years.
however, the Northwest has become so
thickly settled by white people that the
schools and churches built and maintained
for the Indians are now inadequate for the
wants Of the more civilized race. great
transition is going on, and the order feels
the necessity of adapting itself to the
changed circumstances and conditions. liz
is for the purpose of obtaining compre-
hensive idea of these conditions. as well
as future prospects that Father SASHA IS
making this tour. He is we'll equipped
for his mission. A learned, liberal, broad
minded man, he has lived on the PaciHc
coast for twenty-three years, and has OBJ
served the remote isolated Indian mission
become 3 populous city. Although an
Italian by birth, he received his education
in this country, and he is considered one
of the most eloquent pulpit orators on the
Coast.
Mr.. Eugene Esche and Mr.. Paul Gantzei,
of Chemnitz. Saxony, are tourists stopping
at the Rainier. They are knit goods manu-
facturers, and came over to attend the
Worlds fair, at which they are exhibitors.
They have both been in this country De-
fore. but never so far West as this. 1T
has been several years since we were IN
this country. said they, land the growth
and development which has taken place In
the interval is astonishing. You do In
this country in a few years what 1t takes
centuries to do in Europe. For such .
young city as yours you have worked won
ders. You have the same civilization. the
same comforts and conveniences as the
great cities of the East. There is no differ
ence between your city and Chicago or
New York except that of size. and If you
keep on as you have done in the past that
difference will rapidly diminish. Yes, We
sell our product all over the world, and we
have a good trade here in this country.
We buy yoar cotton, manufacture IL into
wearing apparel and ship IL back to you in
spite Of your tariff. Not all our goods,
however, are made of American cotton,
for We get good deal of our raw material
from Egypt, the fibre of whose product is
longer and finer than yours. We are glad
that your tariffs are to be reduced, because
il will enable us to do larger business
with this country. both buying and SELL
ing. We will take your cotton and food
products and sell you manufactured
goods"
Judge apd Mrs. Warren Truitt. of Sitka,
Alaska. accompanied by Mrs. s. Il. Vaslet, of
San Francisco, arrived IN the city yester-
day from the East and are at the North
ern. Judge and Mrs. Truitt came down
from Alaska about six weeks ago and have
been visiting in the East, having been at
the Worlds fair and rs far as New York
city. They intended to go to Washington
City, but the weather was so hot and the
time so short that they omitted the capital
city from their trip. Judge Truitt says he
heard good deal about the sealing
question while East and IL was the
general opinion of those with whom he
conyersed that the new regulations could
not be enforced against any but English
or American sealers. He thought 1t would
take more vessels than the United States
possessed TO guard the sixty-mile circle
and the whole North Pacific from seal
poachers, and for this reason did not
think the United States gained much by
the arbitrators' regulations in return for
being beaten on the legal claims pre-
scented. The Judge and his wife will re-
main here several days. and sail for Alaska
on the City of Topeka August 81.

scared out of their wits by the rapidity
