LONDON, Aug. pa special dis
patch from Shanghai says the mem
bers of the commission which recently
left Foo Chow for Cheng Tu, to in
yestigate the recent massacre OF mis-
sionaries there, are virtually prisoners.
Commander Newell. Of the United
States cruiser Detroit, has gone to
Cheng Tu to consult with G. Hixson,
United States consul at Foo Chow. the
leading member of the commission,
about landing marines for the protec-
tion of the other commissioners.
The Report Discredited.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-It is said
here that Ku Cheng is meant wherever
"Cheng Tu" is used in the London
dispatch, as Cheng Tu is the scene of
the June riots and 1400 miles from Foo
Chow. Naval officials, though with
out information themselves, are in
clined to discredit the dispatch, Act
ing Secretary McAdoo said it was OBJ
served that dispatches of this charac-
ter came by way of London. while an
other high naval officer said there WAS
an evident intention on the part OF
Great Britain in the whole Ku Cheng
affair to get the United States to pull
chestnuts rut of the fire, and he
pointed to the fact that there did not
seem to be any anxiety on the part OF
England to land troops or to be unduly
hasty to force an explanation. .
The navy department thought that if
Commander Newell had gone on such
mission the government would have
been notified. 1t was also said that
the marines had scarcely ever landed
at the request of any consul, es-
pecially when there Is a minister
in. the country. However, should
there be trouble of the kind indicated.
the United States has strong force
in Asiatic waters. Seven ships are
available. some of them good crusiers,
our feet including the Baltimore flag
ship), Charleston, Detroit, Yorktown,
Machias, Monoeacy and Concord, The
last named four are not very for
midable. though good fighting ships.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Comment of the English Press Upon the
Waller Case.

Comment of the English Press Upon the
Waller Case.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Daily Ne,os
in an editorial on the Waller case,
says:
1.-THE French are in bad way in
Madagascar, and, in addition, by their
ridicufously severe sentence of Waller,
they have involved themselves in
grave International question. There
Is certain irony In the mischance
which has embroiled them with
power 80 absolutely Indifferent to the
Madagascar question. They must have
gone out of their way to pick quarrel
with an American consul. 1t is their
misfortune that these things were done
for them, not by statesmen, but by the
soldiery. Undoubtedly the matter
will be amicably arranged. The
French haverepeatedly shown willing
ness to acknowledge an error and to
offer reparation for mistake"
The Post says: 1.-THE grossly dis
courteous behavior of French officials
at Tamataye to American officers has
been apologized for, but the Waller
case is the most high-handed piece of
persecution the recentshistory of CIV
ilized states has afforded"

Z SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 28.--The triai
CT Theodore Durrant was resumed thi,
morning, and Superior Judge Murphy
said his health was SO improved tina
he hoped he would be able to 81
through the entire trial without further
delays i :.
The search for three more acceptable
jurors was again begun. Out of all the
veniremen examined none was secured
Only $50 veniremen are left, and 6
special venire will probably be made
tomorrow, unless three jurors are Sc
cured before then, which Is very un
likely. The prosecution remains con
fident that the boasted alibi kept ir
reserve by the defense is based prin
cipally on Durrant's own statement.

DUFUR, Or, Aug. "a, 1895.
Editor TrxKs- -MoUSraIxEsK:
AS harvest progresses we hear re-
ports from different sections around
us that appear to sum up that the
quality of the grain is fair, and the
yield quite an average. Most OF
the farmers are through cutting,
several having already threshed,
and quite q number more machines
will start in on Monday. a
DR.. Cain has just run the gauntlet OF
our worst jokers, and, so far as heard
from, came out all sound. The joke
was good enough to tell, but as some
of the parties are almost strangers to
US, especially in matters OF jokes, we
refrain.
We see q notice posted for school
meeting to be held here in District No.
20 on the evening of September 2, for
the purpose of ordering new school
house, or repairing the one in use.
We presume. that to repair will be the
order, as many feel that the district
would be worse off with a new school
house and big debt, than with fair
accommodations and small debt.
School will open here on September
9. All who expect to attend the COM
ing year should starr In as early as
possible. The Dufur school has fair
reputation for good work, and for the
past six years has made a steady
growth and advancement. The county
boards OF Wasco and Sherman have in
the three examinations OF this year
granted fourteen certificates to those
that were principally educated here.

Working to Get a Jury.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-From
questions asked veniremen by counsel
for Theo. Durrant. it is reasonably
certain that Durrant will be placed on
the witness stand in his own behalf.
This morning defendants attorneys
asked every yenireman two questions.
One was: ;'Would the accusation
against the defendant detract from his
credibility as witness?" The other
was: .'If score of witness should tes-
tify that, Durrant was far from the
scene of the crimes at the time the
crimes are alleged to have been com
mitted, would you give the same con-
sideration to these witnesses in the
case"
No new Jurors were secured at this
mornings session of the court.
Twenty-four veniremen were either ex-
cused or challenged. The number OF
sworn jurors remains at nine.

Dueling is Inhibited.

CITY OF MEXICO. Aug. PA Sec
tion of the penal code relating to duel.
ing provides that when any person is
wounded or killed in duel the con-
ditions of which are favorable to one
of the combatants, the challenging
party shall be punished by 10 years
imprisonment, and the recipient OF
the challenge six years. The chal-
lenger's seconds are, in such cases,
subject to the same imprisonment as
the principals, and it is urged here
that this law will apply in the Momero-
Verastegui case now on trial if it is
proved that the latter was the chal-
longing party and the duel was unfair.
The seconds in this case expect to
escape with sentence of nine months
imprisonment to be commuted at a
shilling day.

LONDON, Aug. pa special re-
ceived here from Shanghai, says that
many Chinese converts were butchered
when the American mission outside
Foo Chow was attacked. and the
chapel and school we're wrecked by
the infuriated mob.
The dispatch adds that the Chinese
officials are jubilant at the defeat OF
efforts of the American and British
consuls to obtain an inquiry into the
massacres. 1t is also said that the de-
lay is giving the Chinese time to pre-
pare defense for the prisoners.

A Serious Situation.

MONTREAL, Aug. 26.--Several hum
dred excursionists aboard the steamer
Cultsvateur had narrow escape from a
serious accident by fire last evening on
Lake Francis, two miles from shore.
An oil stove in the lunchroom was
overturned, and in an instant the room
was enveloped in flames. The prompt
action of few passengers and deck
hands saved the boat from serious
damage and probable destruction, and
a combination of bravery and lucky
circumstances averted a panic, which
would have surely resulted seriously.
Among the passengers were nearly
200 Knights Templar and their guests
from Chicago and other parts OF
Illinois. -----'-- -.

EXTENT OF THE SCARE.
No Confirmation of killing of the Ban
mock Indians.

BAKER CITY, Or, Aug. pa re-
port from Burns, Harney county, gives
the following account of the Indian
scare in Diamond and Happy valleys:
Last Friday night the settlers of those
valleys becam me badly alarmed by rea.
son of the supposed presence of Indians
in the vicinity, immediately south on
the Stein mountain side. 1t seems
that during the day "Rye" Smith, a
cattle rancher, had been riding on the
range, and seeing unmistakable signs
of Indians, suspected that they were a
band of hostile Bannocks, and spread
such an alarm as to cause uneasiness
and put the whole country on the
alert. About midnight the people
were frightened at seeing signal fires,
several up Mccoy creek and numerous
others on adjacent mountain sides,
clearly pointing to Indians close at
hand. This caused general stam-
pede of the settlers, who left their
homes and collected at Teaward's and
Clark's ranches in Diamond valley.
Runners and scouting parties went out
during the night, and no more satis-
factory information was obtained other
than Piute squaw, who claimed to be
lost, was captured. The gathering
broke up Sunday, the people returning
to their homes.

We were informed that this was the
Cow Boy preacher, who has held street
meetings in many cities in Oregon, in
cluding Portland, with considerable
success. About 25 years of age, OF

he is calculated to attract an audience.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock he preached
again, and has an appointment for the
evening at the corner OF Second a-d

MURDERED HER BABE.
A Sad Story Reported From the Luckia-
mute,


INDEPENDENCE, Or, Aug. Pa
SAD story comes from Luckiamute, dis
tant about six miles from here. The
wife of James Tetherow. a well-to-do
farmer, who has been under the care
of doctor for several months, arose
this morning before the rest of the
family. Taking her 6-year-old son
from his bed, she wrapped him in a
quilt and carried him down to the
Luckiamute river, distant about a
quarter of mile. and drowned him.
Returning to the house, she told her
husband she was sick, and asked him
to go for the doctor. He told her she
was no worse than usual, and that she
must wait. The wife then left the
house and went toward the river again.
This time she was followed, and, in an
attempt to drown herself, was rescued.
On the return to the house she kept
speaking about the baby. When the
house was reached the baby was first
missed. Then she told how she had
taken it down to the "nice bathing
pool, and, although he clung to my
neck and begged me not to put him in,
! held him under the water" Mrs.
Tetherow is now in stupor. and does
not know what she has done. 1t is
thought she is insane.
