In an effort to prejudice the voters Of
this state against Senator Frink. the Re-
publican candidate for governor, fusion
organs and orators have falsely charged
him with favoring the railroads while
member OF The state senate. although
the record shows. as the Post-Inteili-
gencer has conclusiveiy proven, that SEN
ator Frink consistently voted In favor OF
the regulation OF freight rates and in
the interests OF the farmers OF the state.
The fusion organs have carefully con-
ceaIed the fact that In the legislature OF
1897, when the fusonists were In two
to-one majority In the legislature. and
again In 1892 when the senate was CON-
trolled by the fusion party. the "re-
formers themselves voted regularly and
at all times In tho interests OF the rail-
road corporations and against any meas
ure of relief presented by the farmers.
Chief among the friends OF the railroad
companies were the fusion senator's who.
with the aid of Gov Rogers. elected
George Turner. of Spokane. to the Uni
ted States senate.
These Statesmen not only consistently
fought the farmers and opposed any
measure advocated by them. but they de-
liherately knitted the railroad bin at every
opportunity and surreptitiously ciondcd
the record of the senate In order that
their acts might not be made known to
the people OF the state
There were no more stanch friends Of
the railroads no more bitter enemies of
the farmers Of Eastern Washington. than
the coterie OF senators in 1877 and again
In fsoa who helped form the Turner Rog-
ers combination at Olympia, which with
the aid ~ Le Roi mine gold. landed
George Turner In the senate OF the uni-
ted States. The record proves this nearly
a dozen times. while Senator Turner and
Gov Rogers were posing as champions

the demand from the wheat belt for lower
freight rates.

NEW YORK, Sept. The Presbyterian
Board OF Foreign Missions has received a
letter from the Rev J, E Shoemaker un-
der date of August 10 in which that Pres
byterian missionary, stationed at Ningpo.
says that the missionaries, especially the
Roman Catholic and the English Method
ist missionaries, are partly responsible for
the uprising in China against foreigners.
His letter say in part:
The hatred of the people and officials
for Catholic missionaries has been mani
Tested everywhere. In some villages Cath
olic chapels- have been destroyed while
Protestant missions were not touched and
officials have been known not TO protect
the Catholic missionaries. although az
fordins ample guards for the protection of
other foreigners.
The missionary says that he hopes the
present disaster may so mold public opin-
ion that no missionary will hereafter be
allowed to attempt a policy which endan-
gers the lives OF all foreigners in China
He says that il Instead OF interfering in
political affairs, the missionaries would
favor some court of appeal ii would large

MARCH OF THE BLACK FLAGS.
Chinese Rebels Moving Through HUI
nan and fupei

LONDON, Sept. THE signs of inn
pending turbulence in China are more OF
less ominous. The procrastination of the
powers in the matter of adopting a deII-
mite and harmonious policy of reprisal, il
is feared Will yet bear fruit in the way
OF renewed disorders which will cost many
foreign lives. The hesitation of the civil
iZed nations in making demands upon the
Imperial Government for reparEtion will
be used as capital by the shrewd Chinese
leaders. who win declare that the powers
are cowardly, and it is expected that this
viii lead to renewed disturbances in va
rious parts of the Empire which may give
the ailis< a great deal of trouble.
A despatch from Yokohama, from which
source m@,.y reliable reports have emar
mated since the beginning OF the trouble in
China, says that the Japanese Foreign OF
fee has received telegram from Shen-si,
dated. September /, which states that large
bodies OF Black Flags are marching nortn-
ward through the provinces of Human and
Hupei.
There are no further reports from Cam
ton, but it is believed that affairs in that
locality arc still in condition bordering
on riot and it is feared that q serious out
break may occur at any time.
A despatch from Paris says that the
French Consul at Shanghai telegraphs that
the Viceroy of Nankin has granted an es-
cort TO Kinkiang for the apostolic vicar OF
Southern Kiangsi and two missionaries,
whose lives have been threatened The
Consul also obtained an escort for a
