BAD rs THE HORRORS OF WAR

f1oated out toward the steamer but the
people of the town never spoke, never
moved; they were too wretched, too
desperately Indifferent to ask for as
sistAnce.
AT Mission City the steamer bumped
into a barn covered with chickens i'll
all stages of starvation.
AT Sumas the greatest suffering was
reported. Many requests for help were
made. AS the steamer swung out of
Sunlas a band of Indians was seen
holding barbecue. An OK had been
dragged dead from the river and the
half starved red men were devouring
it.
At present no stop can be put to. such
revolving spectacles which are said to
be common all along the river. The
indian ranches have been swept away
for hundreds of miles and with nothing
to cover them but blankets, and they
are bivouacking on the mountain sides.
At Dhilliwack city nothing can. be
seen but the tops of houses. The en-
tire population met the steamer at the
foot of the principal street.

The Ex-Secretary on Trade COndi-
tfOns of the Far East.
San Francisco. June 7.-Ex-Secretary
of State John w. Foster, who arrived
here yesterday from India and China,
speaking Of trade conditions in the far
east, said to an Associated Press repre-
sentative:
Il found a general and widespread de-
preston prevailing throughout India,
the straits settlements end wherever
British merchants and commerce ex-
tended in the east. The cause of it is
attributed TO the heavy decline in sill
Ger, which is the single currency Of the
countries of Asia. and this decline, it is
there believed, has been brought about
by the closing of the India minis and
the repeal of the Sherman act.
II have frequently been called upon
in these countries to defend the states
manlike action of President Cleveland
in converting Congress and bringing
about the repeal of the Sherman law,
which action has been regarded in the
east as a step toward placing the Unit
ed States on a gold basis. I have &C.
casiOn to recall the fact that both po-
litical parties in our country are
strongly committed to the bi-metallic
standard, and that for fifteen years our
government has been making strenuous
efforts to bring about an international
agreement to that end having in that
lperiod originated three conferences with
European nations without success. 1
have taken great pains to point out that
the action of the British government
and London bankers was the chief cause
of the failure to establish a bi-netalhc
currency throughout thu world, and
that the main reason for the repeal OF
the Sherman act was to prevent Great
Britain from forcing the United States
onto a silver basis with widespread dis
aster to American industries; and that
IF the British colonies and British COM
merce in the east were suffering from
i the decline in silver they had only
their own government and London
| bankers to blame.
| ION the other hand, the decline OF
silver has not resulted in serious detri-
ment to China ard Japan Their sx-
port products were sold for gold and,
when converted into the national cur
rency. yield a much greater return
than formerly, whereas the price of la
Dor and domestic conditions have not
as yet materially risen.

IN THE MEsHEs AT LAST.
Defaulting Cashier Hagen Arrives
in San FraHciscO.

San Francisco, June August c.
Hagen, the absconding cashier of the
American Exchange bank of New
York, was among the passengers who
arrived on the steamer Mariposa from
Apia, Samoa, today He was in charge
of Special Agent of the Treasury
James ]. Bennett, and will be taken to
New York.
During May, 1892, Hagen became a
defaulter, and at once took a train for
San Francisco. The officers of the law
followed, but by the time they reached
this city Hagen was on his way to
Australia In Sydney, n. S. w. he
was put under surveillance by the po-
lice. When the fugitive found he was
being watched, he doubled on his
tracks and made for San Francisco
again. The Sydney police set young
man to watch him during the voyage
across on the Alameda, and Hagen,
after giving the spy a thrashing, left
the steamer at Apia, Samoa.
In the meantime, Special Agent Ben
nett had arrived at Honolulu and was
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
embezzler He found he was at Sa-
moa and Immediately went to Apia
after him. Hagen had already given
himself up.
On his arrival here, he was turned
over to the United States marshal.

NEW MEXIC0's BILL.
1t May Come Up in the House Mex.
Week.

Washington, D. c., June 7.-[Special.l
Delegate Joseph says he has been
promised by the House leaders that
the New Mexico statehood bill will be
given chance in that body next week.
The measure is unfinished business on
the calendar, and ought TO come up in
what is known as the second morning
hour. He thinks it will pass if it can
be reached, and he has been working
hard to make the Democrats in both
House and Senate believe the surest
way for the party to retain control of
the state is tosadmit, at an early day,
all four territories seeking admission.
He is not particular about dates, but
claims the enabling. acts. will give sat
isfaction in the territories.
Indications are that the tariff bill
will hardly be disposed of in the Sen
ate before June 20, unless the Repub-
licans unanimously agree to fixing an
earlier date. The pressure is so great
that it is just possible an arrangement
will be made to suddenly choke off the
windy debate now inrprogress. $50

YUM YUMs BY FREIGHT.
Attempt to smuggIe Girls for I'm
moral Purposes.

moral Purposes.
San Francisco, June 1.-THE steamer
China, which arrived yesterday from
the Orient, brings a peculiar story of
the methods employed by the japanese
to smuggle girls into this country for
immoral purposes.
While the vessel was at the wharf at
Yokohama receiving her cargo, a Japa-
nese passenger came on board and
asked leave TO have four large boxes
taken to his staioeroom, but was re
fused as the boxes. were too large.
The boxes were left on the wharf to
be placed in the hold with the other
cargo. Just as they were being hoisted
up a peculiar noise issuing from one
of the cases attracted the attention Of
the stevedores who rolled the box aside
and called the police, and upon -eXani-
nation the boxes were found to contain
the almost life,ess bodies of four Jap
anese girls who were overcome. with
suffocation The boxes were only two
feet. three inches in length, and one
and one-half broad and deep.
There was a small air-hole ait ONE
end. but the boxes were laid on the
wharf end up and the holes closed.
I The japanese who attempted the out
rage was not appreheuded.
Three of the girls were destined, if
they lived to a brothel in Portland,
and the other was going to Tacoma.

Portland Ore. June mo accurate
estimate of the damage by floods along
the Columbia and Willamette rivers
can be made 1t is certain, however,
TO reach into millions of dollars. The
entire northwest, including Idaho,
Washington and Oregon and British
Columbia. is virtually shut off from
the east by the floods. The Canadian
Pacific, Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific roads have
been washed out for hundreds Of miles,
and it will require weeks to repair the
damage after the water goes down.
This city still has connection both
ways on the Southern Pacific, but
eastern mails are badly delayed. The
Northern Pacific makes connection be
tween Puget Sound and this city by
means Of the transfer boat which runs
from Kelso, Wash, to this city.
In Northern Idaho the Great Northern
; and Northern Pacific have been washed
out for miles, rendering the roads al
most useless west of Idaho. The Union
Pacific is paralyZed from Umatilla
west, and the Oregon Railway & Navi-
cation company's road, which is. the
western connection of the Union
Pacific will have to be practically re-
built from Umatilla to Portland, dis
tance of 200 miles.
The upper Columbia is now falling,
bat the river here remains stationary.
1t will require at least week for the
water TO get out of the streets when
ever it begins ITO recede, as at many
points on Front street the water is
ten feet deep.
The streets adjacent to the flooded
district, which now. includes three
fourths of the business portion Of the
city, are alive with vehicles of all kinds,
hauling goods cut of the water.

Cripple Creek, Colo, June ALI day
runors of conflicts between deputies
and strikers have been current, but in
no instance have they been confirmed.
One engagement was reported to

the report of the morning, it lacks
Authentic confirmation.
The first detachment of the militia
arrived at Beaver Park, the scene of
the trouble. this morning. The state
troops Immediately marched through
the line of deputies to a point between
the contending forces, from which
place they will prevent either deputies
or strikers from making an advance.
The work of disarmament has not
yet begun, nor will the work begin I'M
til more state troops are on the ground,
which will probably be today.
In the meantime, the deputies are
anxious to advance upon the strikers,
and the strikers are ready to receive
them, a few hot-headed ones being
anxious to open the fight
A small party of deputies, under Cap
tain Adams, rode into Cripple Greek

hostility by the citizens Great excite

DOCTORS DISAGREE.
Exciting Debate over Revision of
the institution.

San Francisco, June AT today's ses-
sion of the American Medical association.
there was an exciting confess over the
report of the committee on revision of the
constitution.
Majority and minority reports were pre-
sented.
DR.. Ferguson moved the adoption of
the minority report, which recommended
for adoption practically the old constitu-
ton.
The viva voce vote was not satisfactory
to many members and a roll call was
ordered. The vote stood: Ayes, Isl; nays,
CA.
The motion to adopt the minority re-
port was declared lost, as it failed to re-
ceive the necessary three-fourths
The chair then announced that amend
nents to. the old COZ stitution We're in or
der and the association adjourned till
tomorrow.
The debate on the proposition was al
times exciting, and some heat was
shown. No question of medical ethics was
however, involved, and nothing in either

ANCESTRY AND REAL ESTATE.

Chicago, June Judge Ewing rendered
a decision today which holds that citi-
zen of the United States cannot acquire
title to real estate by inheritance when
the inheritance has to be traced
back through alien ancestry, for the rea-
son that such alien ancestry is without
Unbeatable blood, which is necessary to
transmit an inheritance from one person
to another.
The decision is the first rendered upon
this point under the present statute of
the state, and it is doubtful if a parallel
decision has been rendered in any state.
Judge Ewing's decision was rendered in
the suit of James Bearan against the sis
tiers of the late William Went, a natural
ICED Englishman. The case involves
$40 900 worth of real estate.

did on the preliminary trial of the latter,
the speed Of the Minneapolis being q 70

that the Minneapolis will make at least
