To Plead for the Emperor.

TACOMA, Wash, June 29.-Captain
Ralph Plat arrived in Tacoma today
from China, and claims to be the accred-
tied agent of friends of the deposed em-
peror. Plat has a pocket full of creden-
tials, and is on his way to Washington to
ask the intervention of this government
i'll behalf of the emperor. Captain Plat
was with the Oregon volunteers. and was
attached to General Hughes staff as ad-
jutant general. When his term expired
i'll the Philippines he was made legal
advisor, aud was thus thrown in with
the Chinese minister at Manila.
AT the outbreak of the Boxer troubles
Plat was at Wei Hal Wal, and friends
of the emperor at once secured his SER
vices. His mission is said to be primar-
lily for the purpose of securing justice for
the emperor, and be hints that he may
ask the powers to establish a protector
ate Platt left for Washington tonight.

An Expert Looking over the Ground to Re-
port on the Possibility Of Finding
Artesian Wells.

Prof. Isaac c. Russell of the University
of Michigan, and expert with the Hydro
graphic Bureau of the United States
Geological Survey is in the city and will
remain for about ten weeks investigating
the geographical conditions in the
country bordering the Snake, Clearwater
and Salmon rivers. The object of the
professors presence is first, to examine
the possibilities of finding artesian water
and second, to enable him to report on
the ores and minerals and the general
physical condition of the region. He has
already visited the artesian wells in
Tammany Hollow and made a trip to
Vineland and Asotin. He will start in a
few days with pack train and attendan,
for the upper Snake river.
The professor refuses to express any
opinion as yet on any OF the results, SC
so far obtained, until after thorough
examination, when the matter will be
sent in the form Of report to the de
partment at Washington.

LONDON, June 3o.-There is absolutely
no authentic word as to the whereabouts
of the members of the Peking legations,
although abundant reports from Chinese
sources say that they were safe few
days ago. The. Daily Mails Shanghai cor
respondent, telegraphing yesterday, says:
"An imperial decree has been sent to
all the viceroys, advising them that the
foreign ministers were safe in Peking
on June IS, and affirming that the gov
ernment would protect them. This is au-
thentic and reliable. l received it from
a high Chinese official having means of
communication with Peking via Paoting
Flu by courier and then by telegraph.
There is no doubt that the Chinese gov
ernmcnt fully recognizes what the safety
of the ministers implies at the present
time, and for that reason there is less
uneasiness about them
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express under yesterdays date
says "Chinese officials declare they
have imperial authority for stating that
the foreign missionaries left Peking for
Tientsin on June 26, via Paoting Flu
They had passports and were escorted by
a strong body of Chinese troops. 1t is
impossible to verify this statement and
the consuls here are not disposed to place
much faith in it. Jung Lu, former gen
eralissimo of the Chinese forces, who wa'
dismissed by the empress dowager whei
she designated Pu Ching as heir appar
ent to the throne, has promulgated al
order to all viceroys and governors no
to obey imperial edicts issued since jun
rs. This is interpreted to mean anothe
coup d d'etat is foreshadowe and it is be
lieved new emperor will be introduced.

The local offices of the o. R. & N. and
the N. P. have received the new official
rate on passenger fares and have author
lied a reduction Of fare to 3 cents per
mile to all points in Washington and

and will, remain the same, except
where tickets are sold to points neces-
stating travel through the two states,
when the rates in these states only be re-
duced according to miles travelled outside
Of Idaho. The fare to Portland and all
points on the sound is reduced from
fI4 60 to $II.Io, and Spokane from IS IS
to $4 go, based from Lewiston. All other
points outside of the state are affected by
corresponding reduction. The new rate
is safeguard against anticipated legisla
ton in the state Of Washington, and was
determined on by the lines interested te
offset political agitation during the ap
preaching campaign.

In Dixie Camp.

Mr.. A. J. Minard of Chicago, returned
last night from Dixie, where he has been
investigating some mining property in
company with w. R. Oxley of Spokane,
in the interest of Chicago capital. Said
Mr.. Minard last evening to a TELLER
reporter:
1.-The Dixie mining district is the
finest I have visited for a long time and
predict great future for it, went to
investigate a property located by c. S.
Grove, and though there was but little
development work done the showing is
simply fine, we have a Io-foot shaft sunk
on the ledge all in fine white quartz show
ing free gold in large quantities, this
shows the ledge s feet wide. We have
not determined the width of the ledge as
yet but as soon as practical will begin ex-
tensive development work. There does
not seem to be any great boom in that
section, however, steady inflow of pros
pectors is in evidence and you can look
for some rich strikes there in the future
The principle mining there has been for
placer, and from the amount Of work
done 1t looks as if thousands of people
had been working over the ground.
Quartz mining is new in that section,
but am so confident over the results
that expect to interest Chicago capital
in the district. Finch and Campbell, the
we'll known mining men of Spokane are
developing property there known as
the Ajax and have II feet of solid ore
at depth of 100 feet.
Mr.. Minard left on today's train for
Spokane and expects to return early in
| the fall.

the Great Eastern mine int, one of the
mining districts on the Snake river slope

has been lost in crossing the mountains,
as several severe snow storms have oc-
cured since his departure.-FreeP Press.
R. d. Williams is we'll known in this
city. He has extensive mining interests
in Buffalo Hump, Newsome, Big creek,
and the Snake river district. He went
to Portland about two months ago to try
to induce the o. R. & N. people to send
a steamer to the Great Eastern. He re-
ported failure in that undertaking. He
had also arranged to 60 through Oregon
to the Great Eastern mine. His object
in returning through Oregon was to
complete deal for mine in that state.
For this purpose he took over $4,000 in
cash. He reported to his associates that
the preliminaries for the transfer of the
newly acquired mine had been COM
pleted, and that he would soon proceed
to the Great Eastern mine, Mr.. Baird
went to the latter point to meet Mr..
Williams After long wait Mr.. Baird
returned to Grangeville and reported that
he was unable to get any information
about the whereabouts of Mr.. Williams.
Since that time search has been in

Mr.. Williams has many friends in this

some stream or that he was murdered fol

A Wild Man Story With Variations

The latest story Of wild man comes
from the Blue mountains in the vicinity
of Peola, Washington. A party Of camp
ers really saw man with very scant
clothing and very long, tangled hair in
the wilds of that region. This man has
been pursued and an ideal wild mans
abode has been found in one of the dark
canyons on the head of Asotin creek.
A trail was followed into jungle. A
rude cabin was found. A watch was
placed over the place till it was certain
the wild man was inside when the search
ing party closed in about the door. The
habitation was entered with caution. 1t
was as empty as vacuum. A critical
examination revealed the fact that the
cabin was constructed to resist attack and
to facilitate escape in case of surprise.
A protected passage led from the cabin to
safe retreat in the rear. Through this
the wild man had escaped to the forest,
when his pursuers thought he was safely
besieged.
I There have been suspicious of the pres
ence of this wild man in this community
for more than a year. There are two
theories as to the identity in this case,
One is that a young man who had trouble
with his parents, went off on horseback
to the mountains with vow never to re
turn. His horse was found later, but ne
trace of the boy has been reported. An
other theory is that man who wa
assaulted with pitchfork, shot his assail
ant dead some two years ago, and ate
the murder fed to the woods. His pres
ence has been suspicioned during th
interval. II is believed this man has be
come hermit and lives in this monntail
fastness.
The people in this vicinity take grea
