WORK OF THE FEDERATION.
Comparatively few people realize the
scope and Importance of the work the
Federation undertakes to do. AS an
illustration of ignorance along this line
the following conversation is given. The
conversation took place between Mrs. NJ.
w. Coleman and 4 gentleman on a south
bound train Monday afternoon:
what will be the outcome of this
thing?' Mrs. Coleman was asked.
She replied that she was not an oracle
and could not answer.

said the Federation had no intention of

in case the suffrage was thrust upon them.
MRS. CoLEMAN's SERVICES.
In speaking of the organization of the
Federation the News and Courier SAYS:
Mrs. Coleman is a remarkable woman
ana possesses Il winning and sweet per
Sonality. She has executive ability, the
power OF stating facts in Il business way,
but withal is as gentle, rs kind and con.
Slucratc, as any woman could wish to be-
She has been the life of the Federation,
and the club women of the State will
lngly admit it. TO her capable hands
fell the difficult initial leadership of the
Federation. Her conduct Of the Office
during the first trying year justified her
selection, and at Chester, last June, sho
was reelected by Il large majority. The
terms OF the constitution prevent her
serving another year, >and on Friday
next successor will be chosen. Mrs.
Coleman rctircs with the regret and love
of her constituency and with their od-
miring recognition other splendid record
of work accomplished.

hny Not be Separated from Her Hus-
band Who is Legally Entitled to
Live in the Land of His Birth.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The secretary
of the treasury, acting on the opinion
of the solicitor of the treasury, has
held that the wife of a Chinese native
born citizen of the United States is
entitled TO admission into the United
States, regardless of the provisions of
Section 1894 r. S. Such right to land
does not depend on the status of her
husband as a merchant, even if it is
held that the exclusion laws apply to
a Chinese merchant who is native
born, but rather on ner higher right
not to be separated from her husband,
who is legally entitled to live in the
country of his birth.

Refuse to Send Their Children to
Government SchOOlhOuse Built
on the reservation

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 25.-The govern
ment has built a $50, 1000 school for the
Nett Lake Indians, but the latter re-
fuse to allow their children to attend
it because it was not built on their
reservation. Maj. S. w. Campbell, the
ngent in charge of the Nett Lakers,
returned yesterday from a visit to
the band, whom he tried to induce to
withdraw their boycott, but without
success. There is no law by which the
Indians can be compelled to send their
children to 4 school off the reserva-
ton, and the officials are nonpulsed.
The school is one of the pest in the
service, but is filled with children for
whom it never was intended. The
Nett Lake Indians are among the
widest of the Chippewa band, and
cling tenaciously to old customs and
traditions.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Minister Con-

eminent to begin negotiations At
once with the Chinese ENJOYS on the
basis of the points in the German and
French notes upon which all of the
powers are agreed. Upon these points
where divergence of views has been
found to exist the government of the
powers themselves will negotiate
with a view to reaching a further mis-
understanding. 1t is understood that
the ministerial representatives at Pc
kin of the other powers have similar
instructions, but whether they have
or not, Minister Conger is not to be
restrained.

THREATENED BY BOXERS.
A Proclamation Which Tells Why

"FOreIgn Devils"

Hong Kong, Oct. 26.-Advices from
Tien Chau, on North river, say that
American mission property there is
threatened with destruction by Box
els, who have posted the following
proclamation:
1--WE have organized to protect our
country and u homes, and we rely
upon one another to support the Or
der to drive out the foreign devils.
They are mad. Their folly passes de-
scription. They are the usuper of
our land. They disturb our borders.
SIN all the provincesand procedures

people T deceived, ripped open and
disemboweled, while the foreigners
grow fat on the of China,
insulting u officials ard merchants
and selling our temples and palaces.
1.-THE emperor is indulgent and per-
mits this. Who can foretell the in
tentions of the foreign devils? Day
by day they act more outrageously.
When we behold the present condition
of affairs our hearts are bruised with
grief. Therefore we have organized
our strength to destroy the devouring
wolf throughout the empire"
The Boxers took the American Pres
byterian mission buildings, but have
not destroyed them.
Rebellion is spreading along East

of Kwang oi. 1t is supposed to be
aimed at the overthrow of the Man

BLOODY FIGHT AT MONTREAL.
Rioters Charged by Militia 1t VaIleyheids
Quebec, and a Number Badly
Wounded.

Montreal, Can, Oct. 26.-Over q
score wounded, one fatally, is the re-
suit of a conflict between the militia
and the striking mill hands at Valley
field, Que.
A couple of hundred men employed
by the Montreal Cotton Co.. on the
foundations of a new mill, went out
on strike Wednesday, demanding an
Increase of 25 cents a day in their pay.
The company refused to deal with the
union. Wednesday the strikers pre-
vented the company from shipping
goods, and yesterday held up the COM
pany's coal pile. The local police
were powerless. The company had to
have coal or shut down. Consequent
~ a message was sent to Montreal
asking for military assistance. 1t ar
rived at Ealleyfield at 1870 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, and consisted of
two companies of the Royal Scots.
The embargo on the coal pile was
promptly removed.
At dusk a big crowd, composed OF
strikers and their sympathizers, gath
cred, and there was every evidence of
trouble. About $50 the mob gath
cred near the Empire mill, and began
throwing stones through the windows
and otherwise destroying property.
The troops charged the mob with
fixed ~bayonets. They were driven
back. Eight of their number we're
wounded, two of them seriously. The
strikers had Is men injured, one fatal
ly.
Reinforcements were then asked
from Montreal, and. so men, with
medical assistance, left, expecting to
arrive at NalleYfeld about 3 a m.

HARD ZINES FELT IN SWEDEN.
Am Acute Condition in Sweden
Caused by an Extraordinary
Scarcity of Money.

London, Oct. 25.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Stockholm, Sweden,
says:
The extraordinary scarcity of
money which has been growing more
acute for a month, is so seriously af-
fecting commercial circles as to
threaten a crisis. The balance of for
eign trade continues against Sweden,
and the repeated contraction of gold
loans abroad fail to palliate the stu
alton. Industries are daily launched,
but adequate capital is not available,
and he newspapers are filled with APP
peals from manufacturers in desper-
ate straights for money.
Rural people attracted by the in.
dustrial activity are flocking to the
towns, and, consequently. the de-.
mand for houses is so great hat rents
have advanced 20 to 80 per cent. The
civil servants have already been grant
ed 20 per cent. increase in pay to
