From Russia to Rltzville.

Twenty-Five. families from Russia
passed through Spokane last week on
the way from their native country to
settle on farms near Ritzville. This
is the largest of a number Of colonies
which have gone through this city
this spring and which have been loca.
ted on farms ia Adams county:
1t was many years ago that the
first Russians were placed on land in
Adams county, and since that time
there has been gradual increase in
the settlers of this nationality until
they form n large part OF the popula-
ton OF that district. They have proved
to be frugal, industrious farmers, and
asa rule have succeeded quite well
in this new country. Most OF them
come to Washington with some mon.
ey. They can live at but little ex.
pense, and in Years accumulate quite
reasonable wealth. In most cases
this money has been used in bringing
their relatives and friends from the
old country to the farms of eastern
Washington. Many are influenced
to c. me by letters written home, and
others have joined colonies formed
by those who have returned after n
few years here. 3S-,... 'i,..!.,
These colonies are usually taken in
charge by railroad agents, as the Rus
slams are settling upon railroad land
principally. The twenty-five families
which went through here in a car Of
their own last week made an interest
Ing sight. The Russian peasants with
their wives and children were quite
out of the ordinary line of travellers.
Some had picked up word or two OF
English in their travel across the
country, while others could not speak
only in their native tongue.-Spokane
Chronicle. ~
They got here. Most Of them have
taken out their first citizens papers,
filed homesteads, settled on the land
and the same are now bringing in eggs
and selling them to- the merchants.
These simple, honest and energetic
people can teach their Yankee brothers
an object lesson in economy. They al
ways live within their means, pay
their debts and make the best OF citi-
zens. They have done much for Ad-
ans county and had it not been for
these very people this sectioniof coun.
try would not be so prosperous as it
is today. Let them come IN,

Manila, Sept. PA party of insur-

and half south of Angeles yesterday
morning and then opened fire upon the
derailed cars from a bamboo thicket
close TO the track, killing two Ameri-
cans and wounding five others. Lieut..

on the train, made vigorous defense
and caused the enemy TO flee. Six

New York, Sept. "a. - A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Word reaches the war department
showing that Gen. Otis has sought to
initiate the policy employed in Cuba,
Of buying Filipino arms, and that his
efforts have been unsuccessful. The
natives were given to understand that
upon the surrender of a gun the mill
tary authorities would pay the person
surrendering it $40 and guarantee him
armed opposition To the United States
and protection for the future. Not
withstanding this tempting offer not
one bonafide surrender Of gun is re-
ported. One native, ii is said, appeared
with gun in hand, and the military Of
ficalS began congratulating them
selves that the end was in sight, and
that when the rest Of Aguinald0's
troops learned of the good treatment
given this man they would follow his
example. A requisition was made on
the treasury for $40. but before the
money was received investigation I'M
covered the fact that the native was
acting rs an agent for an American
soldier, who captured the gun in ac-
tion, and wanted to dispose of ii at
government figures to the military au-
thoritieS. In view of the Discrimination
of the natives to sell their guns, it is
evident that the revolution is not so
much confined TO the upper ranks as
has been believed. Were the soldiers
not in sympathy with their superior of
ficers, ii is said by army officers that
they would certainly have surrendered
in at least small numbers, as they
have ample opportunity to reach the
American lines without detection.

Washington, Sept 24.-The war de-

troops. -Four only partially occupied
and religious services not interfered
with. Also three converts occupied.
These three and ten Of the sixteen
