He showed why we should hold the acquired foreign territory. The periodical fault finding Of the dissatis- fled in preaching the fall of the Ameri- can republic was set forth and ably refuted by the presentation of former conditions and the causes of declines Of ancient republics.

TO ATTACK THE ALLIES
Chinese Reported Rallying
Their Forces at Pekin.
HAVE 5000 TROOPS AND Is GUNS
Russian and Japanese Cavalry Were
Expected to. Encounter Then
Several Days Ago.

Washington. August 2S.-A dispatch
received at the japanese legation today
from the foreign Office OF Japan, con-
veying the latest and most authentic
information of the situation in and
around Pekin. In measure the ad.
vices were OF disquieting nature as
they indicated that the Chinese had
rallied their forces and we've preparing
for an attack upon the allies in Pekin.
Ii it should prove that the allied forces
were besieged in Pekin it would ac-
count for the lack OF advices from Gen.
elal Chaffee. AS made public by Min
lister Takahira the dispatch from thu
Japanese foreign Office at Toxic is as
follows:
"An official telegram, dated Pekin,
August Is, was received at Toki) from
General Yamaguchi, commander "t the
Japanese forces, to the following effect:
The capital is now entirely cleared Of
the enemy. A cavalry regiment which
had been sent to Wan Shau Shan
(where the empress dowager's palace
is located), reports that the imperial
family, who had left Pekin August IA,
started, after short rest at Wan Shau
Shan for the west, and were under the
escort of General Maa and his troops,
consisting of only about 500 horsemen
and 20 carts. The japanese forces oc-
cupied the treasury department, in
which over 1000, 900 taels in silver
and a large quantity of rice were
found
"Another telegraphic dispatch, dated
Taku, August 90, states that as the
Chinese troops and Boxers, who had
gathered at Nan Yuen, were about to
attack the foreign forces at Pekin, ia
panese and Russian cavalry were ex-
pected to encounter them on the goth.
The dispatch iurther states that Chi
nese infantry, 5000 strong, with 10
guns, are advancing from Shan lung
to make a rear attack on the allies. :"
A copy Of the dispatch was transmit
ted to Acting Secretary Adee, at the
department of state and by him fur
nished to the president. While the
news of possible rear attack upon the
com paratively small force of the allies
was not received with surprise, gener'
ally, it was not regarded as serious, as
the foreign forces are believed to be
abundantly able to take care OF them
selves against any force OF Chinese
likely to be sent against them.

OUR WHEAT THE BEST
First Prize Awarded Oregon
and Washington Grain.
AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION
The Display Was Prepared by Colonel
Judson and Sent by the .. u.
& N. Company.

Through the efforts of the o. r. s.
N. Company display of Washington
and Oregon grain was made at the
Paris exposition that took first prize,
gold medal. The wheat of the Column
bia river basin in Washington and Ore
gon is thus declared to be the best in
the world.
The exhibit was prepared under the
direction of Col. Il. G. Judson, indus
trial agent of the o. r. & N. The
principle portion of the exhibit came
from the company's experimental farm
at Walla Walla. But large quantities
of grains and grasses were obtained
from several other places in the two
states.
The exhibit consisted Of 58 different
varieties of wheat, and a few samples
OF oats and barley. II was confident
that they would prove world'beaters." "
remarked Mr.. Judson. 81 bad exer-
cised great care in the selection of the
seed. The display was certainly a
magnificent one, and we are more than
pleased to learn that our opinion is
shared by those in authority at Paris. !"
The grain went from Portland by ex
press in neatly framed and painted
package.
A large box of grain in quart sacks
was sent. The sacks were made of fine
white cloth, tied with red, white and
blue ribbons and the following printed
inscription, in brilliant scarlet ink:
"Raised along the line of the Oregon
Railroad g. Navigation Company; head
quarters, Portland, Or, U. S. A." In
each package was a neatly printed card
bearing the name of the grower, the
variety OF the grain, the yield per acre
and his postofiice address. These sam
pies are intended for distribution in the
principal wheat centers Of the United
Kingdom, and it is left to the depart
ment of agriculture to see to the suc-
cessful carrying out CT this programme.
Mr.. Judson says his idea in accom-
panying these small packages by the
mentioned data was to satisfy the sew
eral recipients, should they compare
notes, that the samples were from sew
eral fields and not from one particular
ly favored section. The effect OF this
remarkable recognition Of the resources
of the Northwest will be far.reaching,
The attention OF the newspapers all
over the world will not only be arrest
ed, but mighty factor in the direction
OF immigration will assert itself. The
o. r. & N. Co. has covered itself with
glory, and at the same time rendered
the section in which it operates
service OF great worth.
All this recalls the fact that Hood
river apples took first prize at the
worlds fair in Chicago, and Ashland
peaches took first prize there also
Washington timber and minerals were
leaders and that state took many first
prizes.

Lieutenant weaver's Company.
Emporia, Kan, August 29.-Lieu.
tenant William Weaver, of the Thirty
second United States volunteers, who
resigned in the spring on account OF
illness and who has just returned home
from the Philippines, tells of barbara
ties practiced by Filipinos upon Ameri.
can soldiers. He said that outside OF
the Maoabebes, who ara friendly to the
Americans, the Filipinos are very
cruel.
''Six men we're killed at Dinalupi-
jahn," said Lieutenant Weaver, ''and
do not think there was man that
had fewer than 10 bullet holes in his
body. In the case of one American
soldier it looked as ii the muzzle OF the
revolver had been placed right in his
eye and fred. He was also stabbed in
ths neck and breast with bayonets.
Here is another case OF cruelty; Harry
Easter and Mcdonald, two of my COM
pany, were killed instantly. Easter
was shot in the neck and the other fell
low was shot in the back of the head.
Only about 20 of the company were
with them and they were attacked by
about $50 Filipinos. The Americans
fought them an hour and 45 minutes.
They had to leave the dead and when
they came back the rebels had stripped
the boys OF all their clothing. They
pulled up grass and sticks and built a
fire on their breasts. We got to the
boys before anything further was done
to them. We got Easter and the other
fellow away before they we've burned.

tiOns In the City.
Chicago, August 27.-Unless the
plans of the leaders miscarry every un-
ion man connected with the Building
Trades Council will be called out ON a
strike before Labor Day.
The plum pers have already been or
dered out and the intention is that all
other unions whose men are working
shall follow suit. Owing to increased
activity in the building trades within
the last few days, many union men
have been put to work, in some places
with the consent of the business agents,
and it is tie purpose of the unions to
stop the work wherever the bosses be-
iieved they had won a victory and
show them that the labor organizations
are still in the fight. The business
agent of one of the largest unions said:
Contractors have come to believe
that it is comparatively easy sailing for
them now, and accordingly have been
undertaking some large jobs with the
idea that there would be no further
trouble from the unions. They will
find to their disgust that many Of the
men whom they supposed to be non
union men have become members OF the
unions and they will sipmly be unable
to do any work. 1t is the only thing
that is left the unions unless they pro-
pose to give up their fight. The ides
Of helping the contractors along theil
Jobs has been a mistake which is gen.
orally recognized now and they will
find there is lot Of fight left among
the men yet"

He then told OF his comrades. Two
men with jugs of water tied ON their
saddles went back in search OF the
missing men. One was found 10 miles
away exhausted and unconscious in
the sand and was brought to the ranch.

men are now in critical condition.
