A SENSATION IN CHINATOWN.
Alleged Attempt at Poisoning Which
Was Probably IL Fake.

Missoula, Mont, March 1.-The Chinese
quarters are agog tonight over an alleged
attempt at poisoning. A few days ago a
Chinawoman named Wing Quong came
here from Helena and took up quarters
among the bad lands" Since she came
here Chinese gambler, named Charley,
became intimate with her. Tonight he
called at her abode about o'clock and
during his stay was treated to a cup of
tea. While the womans back was turn
ed to him. he held the cup aloft, claim
ing she had poisoned the tea, which she
denied. He sounded an alarm, and an Of
ticer came and placed her under arrest
and took her to Jail. Physicians made an
examination of the cup of tea and found
10 grains of strychnine. Charley did not
drink any of the tea, and consequently
was not poisoned. Cinnamon generally
believe Charley adopted this method to
frighten the woman into giving him
money to gamble with. A Chnaman,
whose name can not be learned, says he
is positive Charley put poison, which he
carried in his vest pocket, into the cup.
AT II o'clock tonight it was learned that
Charley purchased strychnine during the
day at a drug store. He runs a garden,
and also cooks for II. w. Hammond. He
is fiend for gambling. officers are look
ing for him and will arrest him.

CANADIANS ARE BRoAD-MINDED
VIII Not Follow the Vicious EXAM
pie OF the COrIiss Amendment.


Victoria, B. G., March 1.-The principa
interest in the house today was in the
debate on Helmcken's motion regrettine
that the United States was passing the
Corllss amendment, and asking the do
mlnion government to make representa-
llonS 10 the president to prevent the pas
sage OF the act. Helmcken was yery
moderate in his language, saying while
te the province had power to make restric-
.iohs' ~ was not desirable to have to
resort TO such a course, as it would he a
pity to spoil the present amicable rela-
LIONS between Canada and the United
states. Still it was desirable to strength
en- the hands of the dominion govern
ment' and show that British Columbia
was allVe to the interests of her own
Workingmen.
fremler Turner expressed qualification
at the moderate tone of Mr.. Helmcken
saying that while Canadians should look
d1tef tnelr people, it would be small to
lolioW methods they disapproved. 1t was
not desirable ito bring about retaliation
on the same lines as the narrow minded
leslsiatloh which the United States was
contemplating, as such legislation is be-
hind the age,'' " y"
both was for giving the United States
taste Of its own medicine. The time
mad come when British Columbia could
40 without an American in the country
ana "hen the United States strikes at
us we must give back blow for blow.
kellie of Northwest Kootenay, in an
amendment moved to urge on the do
mihlon government the desira bility of
passing such legislation as will secure
the laboring classes of the dominion the
same restrictions on foreigners coming
into canada as We're put in the Corliss
law. kellle was out for retaliation
straight, and would not allow the Am
erlcans any privileges they denied to
canadians. He could not allow the Unit
ca states to tread on Canadian corns.
Semlin, leader of the opposition, was
also for retaliation. The Canadians were
not the sort of people to turn the other
cheek when slapped in the face.
provincial Secretary Baker did not
thlnk Helmckens resolution necessary
ana Sword considered it undignitied to
ask the president to interfere. Canada
should take her own stand without ref
erence to foreign country.
Helmcken withdrew his motion after it
was ventilated, the general idea being
that retaliation is not necessary vet.

OBJECT TO THE ALASKA TREATY.
Canadians Say British Territory Is
Given to the United States.

Ottawa, Ont, March 1.-The text of
the Alaskan boundary treaty has been
known only As hours, and already there
are rumblings of discomfort
Ihe treaty as explained by officers of
the dominion land survey, makes an i'm
portant concession of territory to the
United States. The 141st meridian of
west longitude is, by treaty the line of
demarcation between British and Alaskan
territory in the far northwest of this
continent. According to surveys made
Jointly by the United States and Cana
dian surveyors, under General Duf1ield
chief of the geological and coast survey
of the United States, and W. F. King
dominion astronomer, the summit of
Mount st. Elias is 241 miles east of the
l4lst meridian in Canadian territory. In
place of defining the boundary along the
Hist meridian, the treaty provides the
line shall be run due north from the sum
NIT of st. Elias for 20 miles, until it
strikes the 141st meridian. 1t is con-
tended here that in this territory there
may be untold wealth. In the past
tween the United States and Canada,
the dominion has generally come out
second best. as for instance in regard
to the boundary in Maine and in the
northwest angle" of the Lake of the
Woods. The only reason put forward
for conceding this strip of territory is
that the summit of Mount st. Elias, as
an initial point from which to run the
boundary, would be more readily recog-
nizable than a row of mounds, pillars or
monuments.
Parliament meets in three weeks, and
the grievance will be fully ventilated.

THREE FRIENDS is FORFEITED.
Decision by the Supreme Court of
tie United States.

Washington, March 1.-The United
States supreme court today rendered an
opinion in ,ne case of the steamer Three
Friends, seized November last by the
collector of customs for the District of
st. Johns Florida, as forfeited to the
United States under section No. $3.50 of
the revised statutes, known as the neu-
trality act. The opinion fully sustained
the position CT the government, reversing
the judgment of the district court of Flor
ida. Justice Fuller delivered the opinion
of the court He defined neutrality to
mean abstinence from any participation
in public, private or civil war; and i'm
Partially of conduct toward the parties;

relations between two powers when the
domestic peace of one of them is disturb
ed is not neutrality in the sense in which
the word is used when the disturbance
mas acquired such a head as to have de-
manded the recognition of belligerency.
After reviewing the case at length, JUS
tlce ruler said that it belonged to the
political department to determine when
belligerency should be recognized, but
there was sharp distinction between
recognition of belligerency and political
revolt, as shown in this case in which
while there has been no recognition of
belligerency, there have been many proc
lamat1ons and messages by the president,
actual conflict of arms in resistance of
the authority of government with
winch the United States is on terms of
peace and amity, although acknowledged
ment OF belligerency had not taken place
Concluding with this branch of the case
he said:
We see no justification for importing
lnto section 52S3 words which it does not
and which would make its oper-
alton depend upon recognition of bellig- |
erency; and while the libel might have
oeen drawn with somewhat greater pre-
'lslon, we are of opinion it should not |
have been dismissed
Ihe Judgment of the district court of
FLORIDA was reversed, and the case re-
nanded with directions to resume the
custody of the vessel, which had been
released on bond
justice Harlan dissented, saying there
was nothing in the case to justify strain

PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE

Credentials Presented of Scnator-
Elect Turner and Heitfeld.
| Washington March 1.-The senate met
| at Ii o'clock this morning. The District
| Of Columbia appropriation bill was taken
up, but was laid aside for the passage of
the house bill authorizing the forfeiting
of domestic smoking opium with a senate
amendment providing that such opium
shall be destroyed.
Further items aggregating $4470OO were
added to the District of Columbia bill by
the senate, and the bill was passed One
of the committee amendments adopted
declares the policy Of the United States
to be against appropriations to aid any
church or religious society in charitable
work and terminating such after June 80
1898.
The naval appropriation bill was taken
up. Mr.. Chandler stated he would move
later to increase the appropriation for the
torpedo boats or decrease the number
provided.
All other items were agreed to without
comment except that relating to the cost
of armor and establishment of a govern
ment armor plant, which occasioned a
debate. Hale said that thorough nves-
tigation led to the belief that armor plate
should not cost over $400 a ton
Mr.. German traced the developments of
the new navy, and urged that it was not
time to reverse our policy and enter upon
huge scheme of establishing a govern
ment armor factory, run by government
officers. 1t would make armor cost four
times what had been paid private con-
Germs.
When Jones, democrat of Arkansas.
spoke on the "monstrous price, paid by
the government for armor, and of Secre-
tary Herberts recent recommendations,
German said he had never put much
faith in "death-bed repentance
The naval bill was temporarily laid
aside and conferences We're ordered on
the postoffice and sundry civil appropria-
ton bills.

successor, George Turner, and Shoup pre-
sented the credentials of Henry Heitfeld

THE BRIBERY AT BOISE
MISS LUCILLE SCOTT BEFORE TttE
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE,
And That ii. s. WoOIey Said He Had
Twelve Thousand Dollars to
Spend for His Defeat.

Boise. Idaho, March 1.-The principal
eating committee today was Miss Lucille
Scott 1t will be remembered by those
who watched the senatorial contest that
she was one the most conspicuous
figures about the headquarters. 1t was
often remarked that she seemed to be on
confidential terms with the leaders of all
parties. 1t was always understood that
she was a champion of Senator Dubois
cause and she SO stated In her testimony
today.
Ine witness narrated that Representa-
i've Perk1ns told her on one occasion that
she might be able to assist him in a finan-
cial way. His vote, he said, ought to be
worth $3.50 or 5000 for a populist against
DUBOIS, and he could control two or three
other populist members. On one occasion
she met him on the street and he asked
her If she had any financial proposition
She told him that she had not as she
mad no money. H. s. Woolley, who was
one OF the Mckinley managers, Miss
Scott testified, asked her what she could
90 IN the way of handling populist men,
hers. He told her that he had $12, 900 that
ne would give her if she would get from
mne to twelve populsts to vote for any
man to beat Dubois. She told him she
might be able to handle nine or ten, and
SeNso 1Ail lllelI names. Later, she said.
Woolley told her he could not see his
way clear to carry out the proposition
he made her.
several republican leaders told her that
there was money here in large quantities
from the east and that it would be i'm
possible for Dubois to be elected. The

mere direct early in December

A REDUCTION OF TEN PER GENT,
Sweeping Cut in Wages by the Cam
brin Iron Works,

JohnstoWn, Pa, March 1.-The reduction of
10 per cent in all salaries and wages in each
office and department of the Cambria Iron
Company, which decided unon by the
board of directors three weeks since, went in
to effect today. The cause of the reduction is
officially stated to be the generally depressed
prices ruling in the steel trade, especially the
severe drop in the price of rails which, it is
added, the Cambria Iron Company neither
caused nor followed until compelled to do so
1t is regarded as significant, however, that
Andrew Carnegie visited this city and had a
long conference with the members of the Cam
bria Company a week prior to the slash in
prices of steel rails, and there is a general
belief that at that time an alliance, offensive
and defensive, arranged between the Cam
bria and the Carnegie Company. 1t is also
said that the Illinois Steel Company sought
business alliance with the Cambria Com
pany against Carnegie, but found that it had
been forestalled by the Pittsburg iron king

Athens, March 1.--At a crowded meet
ing of the chamber of deputies today
Premier Del Yannis announced, in the
most positive terms. that it was the
Turks who had provoked the fleets of
the powers to lombard Canea.
The minister of marine read to the
chamber injunctions addressed by the
foreign admirals to the commodore of
the Greek fleet, torbidding either sea
or land attack upon occupied fortresses,
or attack of the Greek forces upon Turks
in the interior, and stating that any at

would be repelled by the combined fleets
of the powers.
chamber. Deputy Seas asserted the reply
of the Greek government should have
been declaration of war.
The minister of marine, resuming, said
the government had notified the powers
that it would be impossible to impose
such condition of inactivity upon Colo
mel Vassos. He stated further that
er to prevent the landing of Turkish
troops In Crete, but would resist an at
tack upon occupied towns SO long as oc-
cupation lasted.
Premier Del Yannis again Indignantly
protested against the bombardment as an
uiJusl, savage ana lmplouS act mex
picable under the spirit or letter of in
ternational law. Greece, he said, had
instructed her officers abroad to protest
against the bombardment to the respec-
tive governments to which they were
accredited.
We are convinced" he concluded, that
the admirals of the foreign fleet acted
without Instructions. We are small
nation and can not prevent such acts,
but we protest with all the force of
great people, knowing that we have all
the great peoples with US in the protest"
Prolonged cheers greeted the utterances
of Premier Del Yannis.
1t is stated that the Greek Commodore
Reinicke was recalled from Crete, osten-
sibly on the ground of i'll health and
that he will be replaced by Captain

OREGON Do-NoTHlNG LEGISLATURE
Forciblc Steps Taken to Organize
the House.

Salem, Or, March 1.-Forcible steps are
to be taken to organize the lower branch
of the legislature. The temporary house
today passed a resolution appointing a
number of assistant sergeants-at-arms, to
arrest absent members and bring them in.
This step was taken on legal opinion that
a temporary organization has power to
compel the attendance of absent members.
Twenty-one members were present at to-
days meeting of the house. They all sub
scribed to the oath of office and We're
sworn in by Chief Justice Moore.

nings, Conn, Hope and Durdane, and will
attempt to take them back to the capital.
The matter will probably be thrown into
the courts, as it is said these members
will tomorrow swear out writs of habeas
corpus.
The arrested members at once applied
to Circuit Judge Stephens for writs of
habeas corpus. Judge Stephens issued
the writs and made them returnable at
10 o'clock tomorrow. Deputy sergeants-
alarms have gone to other portions of
the state to make other arrests.

An Important Decision by the State

Olympia, WASH, March 1.-The case of

John f. Travers ct al, appellants, was
decided today by the supreme court. This
Is an appeal from judgment obtained by
the county upon the treasurer's bond 1t
was contended that three appellants who
signed the bonds as sureties were married
women at the time, and the court erred in
entering personal judgment against them
for Which their separate estates would he
liable, and in order for them to incur a
charge against their separate estate. in
tention to do so must be declared in the
contracts, or consideration obtained for
the benefit of the estate itself neither of
which appeared in this instance
Inc supreme court holds that, while a
married woman has not unlimited right
to contract with reference to community
property, she has a right with reference
to her separate estate, and the effect of
this contract is to subjct the entire prop-
erty community and separate, to the sat
isfaction of the Judgment. The decision
of the lower court is affirmed.
