BARBAROUS CHINESE.
Details of the Looting of the Amer
lean Missions Few Weeks
Ago,

Vancouver, B. c., July 25.-The steam
er Empress of India from Hong Kong
brings news of the attack made OH the
foreign missions in China a few weeks
ago. The Chung King correspondent of
the North China Daily News tells the
story as follows:
A riot occurred at the Canada Methodist
mission, their hospital, dispensary and
chapel being looted and burned, although
the mob was kept at bay for an hour OF
two, and although the Yamen were near
and the soldiers barracks were about i've
minutes walk away, no attention was
paid to the request for assistance. After
resting for the night, the mob began again
next day. and when the day was ended
nothing remained of the eleven places of
worship Of Protestant and Roman Catho-
lie missions. In every case the othclaiS
made q mere pretense of protecting or Of
fatty refusing it. All took their cue from
the viceroy, who had been degraded and
seemed to think nothing worse could be-
fall him. His hostility to foreigners has
been notorious for several years and he
seems to have intended to give parting
hit as he was about to leave. Even when
the flames were bursting out Of the premi-
ses of the Roman Catholic mission,
stone throw away, he did not lift finger
to help, merely remarking that this was
calamity for his successor to attend to.
Mothers with their little ones climbed
over back walls and hid for hours in the
dirtiest holes. When discovered there
were ranson1s paid by both foreigners and
native Christians There were cases of
fight from one mission to another, only
to be mobbed and compelled to flee again.
The members of the American Methodist
Episcopal mission climbed over a wall to
a neighbours and remained twelve hours
in dirty little loft watching the destruc-
ton of their property. Some Of the
Canadian Methodist missionaries who
sought protection at the, soldiers bar
racks were driven out One of them, a
woman with little ones, was kicked by
the brutal soldiers. At length all took
refuge at the old home of the district
magistrate.
Much apprehension is felt for the mis-
SiOnaries of the Choctaw Indian mission
scattered in several stations over Chang
Tu Plain away from water and telegraph
communications. If the foreign govern
ments do not take stringent measures
there may be clean sweep of the whole
province. The people say that the EN-
percr has ordered the yiceroy to drive out
all the foreigners, beginning at Chang Tu.

ing recommendations of interest to Wis

lie Pointe light at or near CheQuamegon. An
appropriation of $4,000 is recommended for
the establishment of light at Bayfield,. An
appropriation of $125.000 is requested for
the construction of light station at Rock of
Ages, Lake Superior.
The following recommendations are made
for Lake Superior stations: Superior and
st. Louis bay lights, $4,000; Portage lake
and river lights and buoys, $1,000; Big

MASSACRED BY INDIANS.
Fifty-nine Whites Said to Have Been
Killed in the Jackson Hole &
District

Pocatello, ID, July 26-Reports from
Market Lake say the Rexburg, ID, pa
per of yesterday reports ffty-nine white
people killed by the Bannocks near Jack
son Hole, but there is no way of con-
firming the report and it is not believed
here. A courier is expected from the
vicinity of Jackson Hole with the latest
news. There has been no news received
at Market Lake for three days of an au--
thentic nature.
Forty-four carloads of United States
cavalry left Cheyenne last night for Mar

Immediately plotted to Wind river, and
it is not likely that any trouble will oc-
cur after their arrival. 1t is feared the
Indians will take advantage of the small
number of settlers and commit whole
sale murder before the troops can inter
fere.
Four hundred Indians are said to have
joined the Bannocks on Fall river and
are preparing to make an onslaught on
the whites. 1t is probable that Gov.
Mcconnell will be called to aid Pocatello
awaiting the result before making their
departure for Yellowstone park.
The Indians are camped in Hoback

to the Hole are guarded by the Indians
and that no one has come out from Jack

dams have been going in the direction
of the trouble but they will not talk.

MYRTLE is A FIBBER.
AT Least SO Says the Stepfather of the
FIkhorn Girl.

Chicago, Ill, July 25.-Frank O'Neil
Of 1896 North Robey street, Ravens
wood, stepfatner of Myrtle Nelson. the
13-year-old girl formerly of Elkhorn,
Wis, who claimed to have been aband-
oned here, gives an entirely different phase
to the case Myrtle left the house to SO
to Sunday school last Sunday, he says,
and neither he nor her mother had heard
from her since that day until informed
of her whereabouts last night at mid
night. He and his wife had supposed the
girl had returned to her aunt's in Elk
horn, Wis, or to her old home at RAJ
cine.
1--WE did not instigate much Of a search"
continued Mr. O'Neil, because she had
run away before. We did consult a po-
lice captain in the neighborhood and
asked his advice. He told us that if
Myrtle did not appear in Elkhorn or RAJ
cine he would notify the department. if
we wished it. and have the police look
for her, Myrtle is not a bad girl, but she
has been willful, and likes to run around.
She has caused her mother much trouble"

LOST In CHICAGO.
Strange Story Told by Myrtle Nell
son, who Lived at Elk
horn. Wis.

! Chicago, ILL.,, July 24.-Myrtle Nelson,
ing cared for at the annex of the Harri-
son street station, claims there is con-
spiracy to defraud her out Of property
owned by her father; also that her pres
ence at the annex is the result of the
conspiracy. She was abandoned at State
and Van Buren, streets Monday evening,
where she waited five hours before real
izing that she had purposely been lost.
Then she applied to a policeman for as
sistance. She tells a story both roman
tic and pathetic, the circumstances of
her finding by a policeman corroborating
it in part.
She said her father formerly lived in
Racine county and that he died about
four years ago. Her mother married
man named O'Neill, who was unkind
to the stepchildren:- Myrtle says she
went to Elkhorn, Wis, to live with an
aunt. Last week she received a letter
from her mother asking her to come to
Chicago. The aunt gave her permission
and she arrived last week Monday
night her stepfat Their took her down town
to see the big stores and according to
her story abandoned her.
Elkhorn, Wis, July 24.-[Special.]-
The aunt of Myrtle Nelson, reported to
have been lost in Chicago, is Mrs. Rogers,
wife of DR.. James M. Rogers of this city.
The girl and her mother were visiting here
and left quite recently for Chicago. Mrs.
Rogers had come to regard Myrtle as
a permanent member of her family and
will send money to bring her back from
Chicago. Relatives here are unaware
that DR.. Nelson left any large amount
of property and are unable to assign any
motive for the abandonment of the child.

NO HAWAIIAN PENSIONS.
The Senate Refuses to Take Care Of
Princess kaulani and Ex-
Queen "Ln.'

San Francisco, Cal. July 25.-The
steamer City of Picking arrived today
from China and Japan via Honolulu,
bringing advices dated July IS.
Princess Kaiulani will not get her pen
sion. This was practically decided Oh
the 18th instant. When the Senate re-
ferred al! pensions and permanent settle
ments to the regular session the item was
set at $4,000 per annum, to commence
with April last. When the matter was
discussed in the Senate McCandless made
a long argument against the passage Of
the measure. In his opinion $1,000 given
to kaiulani was $4,000 paid out to as
sist in the overthrow of the government
and to support his position he cited the
action and expressions Of kaiulani and
her guardian and her evident desire for
the restoration of the monarchy. Min
listers Hatch and Smith made strong ar
guments in support of the item on the
ground that it was moral debt which
the country owed. Smith hoped the time
would come when the Legislature, rep
resenting the intelligence of the COM
munity, would vote an allowance to Lili-
oukalani Minister Smiths remark about
the eX-Queen is construed to mean that
she will soon be liberated. President
Dole will sign another batch of pardons.
The men are to be liberated Thanksgiy-

Minister Damon's financial statement
shows that the bonded indebtedness Of
Hawaii one year ago was S3.526,OO0.
This year it is $3.73S,000. The minister
said he saw way out of the difficulty
and that was by asking people to whom
money was due to have a little patience.

for many years that the French frigate
shoals were Hawaiian territory.
An act to facilitate the construction of a

IMPORTANT FOOD TESTS.
How to Produce More Economical and
Healthful Articles for the Table.

How to Produce More Economical and
Healthful Articles for the Table.
The official food analysis by the United
States and Canadian governments have
been studied with interest. The United
States government report gives the names
Of eighteen well-known baking powders,
some of them advertised as pure cream
of-tartar powders which contain alum.
The report shows the Royal to be
pure cream-of- tartar baking powder, the
highest in strength, evolving 1906 cubic
inches of leavening gas per single. ounce
of powder. There were eight other brands
of cream-of-tartar powders tested, and
their average strength was lilo cubic
inches Of gas per ounce Of powder
The Canadian government investlga-
tons were of a still larger number of
powders. The Royal Baking Powder was
here also shown the purest and highest in
strength, containing forty-fve per cent.
more leavening gas per ounce than the
average of all the other cream-of-tartar
powders
These figures are very instructive to the
practical housekeeper. They indicate that
the Royal Baking Powder goes more than
33 per cent. further in use than the others,
or is one-third more economical. Still
more important than this, however, they
prove this popular article has been
brought to the highest degree of purity
for to it's superlative purity this superior
ity in strength is due-and consequently
that by its use we may be insured the
purest and most wholesome food
The powders of lower strength are
found to leave large amounts of impure
ties in the food. This fact is emphasized
by the report of the Ohio State Food
Commissioner, who while finding the
Royal practically pure, found no other
powder to contain less than 10 per cent.
of inert or foreign matters.
The statistics show that there is used in
the manufacture of the Royal Baking
Powder more than half of all the cream
of-tartar consumed in the United States
for all purposes. The wonderful sale thus
indicated for the Royal Baking Powder
greater than that of all other baking pow
ders combined-is perhaps even higher
evidence than that already quoted of the
superiority Of this article, and of its in
disnensa hlereSS to modern cookery.
