RESCyES CREW FROM SAVAGES
CALIFORNIA CATTLE DEALER
HAS EXPLOIT IN cARoLINES.
Aided by Filipinos he Saves Ship
wrecked English Sailors Attacked
by Natives of Falahu.

Falalu, Caroline Island, March 90
On the 21st inst. the inhabitants of Fa-
lalu were aroused by a savage attack
of the natives upon a shipwrecked
crew.
The sailors. who were English sub
jects, were seeking shelter when they
were fred on, and would have been
slain had it not been for the timely ar
rival of an American cattle dealer
With his three employees. who were
Filipinos, the American man managed
TO rescue John Stevenson and James
Smith, who had been seriously wound
ed BIZ the natives.
The other three of the crew had fled,
leaving the wounded to care for them
selves.
The latter were looked after by the
American, who, although wounded him
self, conveyed them TO a place of
safety He refused to give any infor-
nation as to his identity, but it was
learned later that he was Edward st.
Supery. a Californian, who left Guam
to purchase some cattle among these
islands.
The natives of this place have long
been known as savages. They are con-
tinually at war with each other.

BLAMEs FLOUR FOR TROUBLE.
Missionary Says Chinese Farmers Are
Jealous.

, Boston, July n.-Some of the mis-
sionaries are no more to blame for the
troubles there than is our American
flour, said Rev. Charles H. Daniels,
secretary Of the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions.
when asked his opinion of the cause of
the Chinese uprising.
The Chinese farmers" Mr.. Daniels
went on, ARE not different from our
own tillerS of the soil in the west.
When they find that the Americans
are sending -four to China and selling
1t there cheaper than the price at
which the nat5--@s can raise rice, they
naturally object, just as the people of
the western states would if the Chinese
were selling wheat in the United States
at lower prices than they themselves
could produce it.
The missionaries may be partially
at fault, but they are certainly no more
so than the tradesmen. They were at
tackled first. because they were the
most exposed. many of them being in
places far removed from the bulk of
Christian inhabitants. The mission
aries have always tried to act in ac-
cordance with the Chinese laws and
customs and have been treated courte-
ously by the authorities.
In regard to the best way of settling
the Chinese question Mr.. Daniels said:
The. American board. I think, is quite
in harmony with the United States
government in the position which has
been taken against the breaking up
of the empire. We favor the open door
policy. My theory concerning this out
break is that it is simply incident to
the reform movement which was start
ed by the emperor.
One of our missionaries sent US an
order for $50 books. including the Bible
and many commentaries, and those
books went into the imperial house
hold. OF course, we do not know that
they were read by the emperor. but
they probably would never have enter
ed the household without his consent.
AT present it is the business of the
powers to create order. After that
many things will be explained and
there will be new conditions to face"

INDIANS ARE UGLY.
Blanket Tribe is Threatening tc
Make Trouble.

Solway, Mimi. July 1.-THE Blanket
Indians at Red Lake are in a suIlen
mood and trouble is feared.
The government is erecting a $4,000
school at that point, and these Indians
seriously object to any attempts at civ
ilizing them. They refused annuities
from the. government for a number of
years, claiming that the government
has not given them their just portion
of the Indian money.
White settlers near the reservation
are arming themselves and gathering
together, fearing an attack Arms and
ammunition have been sent from Sol
way and a call will probably be made
for state troops. The Indians are hold
ing war dances nightly.

The Lowest Depth.

The fusion campaign has been going
down hin pretty fast. but IT reached Its
lowest depth apparently yesterday in an
atrocious assault. in the columns OF the
Seattle Times, upon the good name OF
CONGRESSMAN Cushman. The facts are
perfectly well known. and reputable Dem
ocrats who heard that this outrage was
to be committed prevented 1t heretofore.
But the pace of the mud artists this
year was too fast for them.
with despicable malice the reflection Is
made upon Congressman Cushman that
he was once, in Nebraska, charged
with" circulating counterfeit money.
That statement is true. and it is not in
the least to Mr. cushman's discredit. as
the circumstances related in our news
columns viii show.
When Mr.. Cushman was a resident Of
Nebraska, he gave information to the
federal authorities that counterfeit sill
yer dollars were in. circulation in the
community in which he lived. bearing ev-
licences of having been made there Act
ing on this advice. special agents located
the gang and captured them in the act
: While in jail. under sentence. one of
these criminals, for revenge. accused Mr..
Cushman of being party to the offense.
The prosecuting attorney. for personal
reasons, pushed the absurd charge far
enough to make II public. 1t was then
withdrew, against the strenuous pro-
test of Mr.. Cushman. who demanded the
opportunity to vindicate his good name
In the court. So strongly did the Judge
himself feel in the matter that ne gave
Mr.. Clshman an opportunity to state in
court the outrageous nature OF the con-
spiracy against him, at the time when
the case was dismissed.
This IL the whole story, Of which neither
Mr.. Cushman nor his friends have made
any secret A remnant of decency for
bade the use OF II two years ago, though
1t was as familiar then as now. The last
scrupie has vanished. and the fusion or
gan stoops to the black depth Of assaii-
ing by innuendo and suppression of truth
the untarnished name Of one Of our rep
resentatives in congress.
We feel that the commission OF this
dastardly act in the fusion interest will
be worth many vote TO Mr. Cushman
There is a line of excess which no man
may cross. depth Of degradation to
which he may not sink without becom-
ing outcast. These limits the fusionists
have now overpassed. II we do not mis-
Judge our people. their full and fitting
punishment awaits them.
