All the Japanese writer's on the opera

agrse in placing the United States soldier
az the head OF the list None OF the
crimes-such as robbery, ineendiarism,
murder and outrage-that vera commit
tel in China are laid to his charge Ac-
cording to thefe writers his behavior all
through the campaign was that OF gen.
tIeman The Germans are placed second
In the list by these critics, and the
French are placsd lowest SO far as
loot and outrage are concerned. For
brute feroeity the Russian soldier is easily
the chief de appears, according TO the
Japanese, to be beyonl the reach ofevery
moral restraint, nor does it seem that his
otficsrs made any resolute effort to con-
troll him. On the contrary, so far as
footing and raplne are concerned, some OF
them are said to set thu worst kind OF ex-
ample. Ihe less helnous excuses COM
mitted by the French soldier are attrlbut-
ed, in great part, to the demoralizinR in-
tiuences OF his service in Tonkiug, and
the theory of the Japanese with regard to
the Cosgaok is that his faults are those OF
he DIT OCCASIONAL hgnEsr. They dstsct, in
his complete cailousnsss to bloodshed, the
same dispositio IN that marked the samurat

educated from their earliest days to
familiarity with deeds of violence.

The Lewiston Journal hears rumor 70
the effect that the Cumberland county
delegation to the Legislature Is preparing
TO agitats for the taking of the ENFORCE
ment Of the prohibitory law out oil tne
hands OF the sheriffs and committing IL
20 the local authorities. As the Cumner-
land county delegation Is made up OF
men of average sense, we think we may
safely pronounos this story falsehood
ont of whole cloth. II the Cumberland
county delegation would advocate the
pIaclng of the enforcement OF this law en-
tirely in the hands OF the sheriffs, and re-
Iieve the local police nom IT entirely they
would be doing something in the way oil
a change that would be an Improvement
There is good reason to believe that when
the sheriff enforcement act was passed
that is what the legislature really IN
tended should be It's effect, though they
fell short of It's accomplishment. The con-
neotion of tine police with this law mas
always been a prolific source OF corrup-
tlou and Decentralization, while IL has not
added anything TO its enforcement. The
two sets OF otfi cers-sherih ami police
have been able to shift the responsibility
of reinforcement from one to the other
SO that oftentimes this dual arrangement
has retarded rather than accelerated en-
forcement.

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

Though the Chinese government has
accepted the note of the powers there is
yet much to be done before the allied
forces can be Withdrawn from the coun-
try. The purpose OF their going there was
to rescue foreigners, quell the insnr-
rection and take measures to prevent q
repetition OF the uprising in the future.
The insurrection has been quelled and
the preliminary steps to prevent
repetition have been taken. BY accepting
the note China agrees to make atone
ment for the past by erecting expiatory
monu ments and paying an Indemnity
ems. She agrees also that the powers may
have the right to station legation guards
at Pekin and post troops from the
capital to the sea to keep open route
BY which the ambassadors can fiss
to tho coast In case OF danger, and the
powers march troops into the capital.
In a general way the Emperor assents to
all these things by accepting the note.
But this general assent must be followed
by something more specific. The amount
of the indemnity must be fixed and this
must be done through negotiations be-
tween the Representatives of the powers
and those of the Chinese Emperor. Here
is scope for wide diversity of opinion,
not only between the powers and the
Emperor, but among the powers them
salves. It Is possible to fix an indemnity
80 large that China could not nay 1t ex-
ospt by mdrtssging her territory to the
powers and giving them the right to
forecloss at pleasure. That would he
almost tantamount to parcslIing out the
country among the allies and as sure
to lead to the destruction OF the integrity
OF the empire eventually as II the En-
peror had refused to accept the conditions
OF the note and compelled the powers to
act INDEPENDENTLY of his government aud
take charge Of ths affairs Of the empire

By magnanimity at ali. Perhaps the

although last years crop was 1884,
600, 600, and that of the previous year

UNION WON BATTLE.
Sixteen jspsrsse Taken Prisoners on Fraser
flight Between Fish Boats.

Vancouver, 3. c., July 13.-The
developments in the Fraser river
strike situation during the past "a
hours show the union fishermen have
the upper hand, having accomplished
q coup d'etat which is without par
alIel in the history Of the many labor
disturbances in British Columbia. As
a result OF battle Of small boats out
in the gulf battle in which shots
were exchanged but in which no COM
batant was killed, is Japanese were
taken prisoners by the strikers. The
japanese boats were overturned, the
rifles and fishing gear of the Orientsls
thrown into the water, and the Japan
ese themselves taken TO one OF the
small islands away out in the gulf.
Exactly where this island is located
is secret Of the white fishermen, for
they chose il several weeks ago for oc-
casions such as this. They say they
will continue TO place non-union Jap
anese there for the remainder Of the
season, or until the place is discoy-
cred by the authorities. All that is
known is that the island is betsYesn
here and Nanaimo, 80 miles away,
and that it is hard to find. The Jap
anese will be given food every few
days and maintained comfortably.
although closely guarded until q set
Element is reached or until their
island prison Is located by the author
tiles.
Two provincial constables were out
in japanese boats today and effected
the arrest of six whi.e fishermen.
The Japanese held asbig meeting at
Steveston and raised by voluntary
subscriptions $4,000 for Japanese
hospital, which they think may be
needed, and then discussed the salmon
catching situation. Some were in
favor Of joining the union men in the
strike especially as the run of salmon
had been small this season up to date.
The meeting broke up without definite
action
This evening big run Of salmon
is reported as coming in from the
south. The Gamers think the union
men will not stand firm, in view Of
the temptation TO participate in their
catching. There is renewed talk this
evening of turning out the militia.
Such severe storm ragged at the
mouth OF the Fraser river last night
that the union patrol boats, which
were to have attacked the Japanese
fishermen, we're afraid to leave Stew
enston. The Japanese kept coming
during the night without fish. Five
japanese are reported to have been
drowned.

MORE FIGHTING IN coREA.
Trouble Between Catholic Missionaries and
Pupils.

Berlin July l3--The Cologne Ga
zette published dispatch from Seoul,
Corea saying that bloody conflicts
extending over q period Of 10 days
have occurred on the Island OF Quel-
part between Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries and their pupils and the
pupils are reported to have been killed
during the encounters. The gover-
nor OF Quelpart, according to the dis
patch, says the trouble WAS the fault
of the pupils, and arose from their
support of the tax collectors in levy
ing illegal taxes upon the natives.
Upon hearing that two French mis-
sionaries had been killed upon the
island French warship proceeded
to Quelpart Upon finding the mis-
sionaries alive, the warship returned.
The Corean government has COM
missioned Huan Junan and an
American court official to investigate
the matter, and is sending a company
Of Corean infantry with them to
Quelpart. Quelpart is in the Yellow
sea, 60 miles south Of Corea, to
which country it is subordinate. II

Pekin, July Is. -- The departure
from Pekin OF Prince Chuan, younger
brother of Emperor Kwang Hsu, who
has been selected formally TO apollo
gize at Berlin for the murder OF
Baron Won Ketteler, was spectacu-
lar event. A train took Prince Chuan
and his suite from here to Taku, from
which port he viii proceed by steamer
to Shaghai. He will sail from Shang-
hal July 20 for Genoa, and will pro-
ceed directly from there to Berlin by

tion in Pekin on horseback. He was
gorgeously attired in royal yellow, and
followed by long procession COM
posed OF members of his staff, their
servants and the luggage on cars.
Here he was met by the present Ger

cost $3.50, 900. 1t is probable that an

CHAPTER XVIII.

From one OF the luxuriously furnished
chambers of her fathers elegant mansion
Jenny Lincoln looked mournfully out up
ON the thick, angry clouds which, the live
long day, had obscured the winter sky.
Dreamily for while she listened to the
patter Of the rain as 1t fell upon the de-
serted pavement below, and then, with a
long. deep sigh, she turned away and
wept, Poor jenny the day was rainy
and dark and dreary, but darker far were
the shadows stealing over her pathway.
Turn which way she would there was not
one ray OF sunshine which even her buoy
ant spirits could gather from the sur
rounding gloom. Her only sister was
slowly but surely dying, and when Jenny
thought Of this she felt that IL Rose could
only live she'd try and bear the rest; try
to forget how much she loved William
Bender, who that morning had honorably
and manfully asked her of ner parents,
and been spurned with contempt-not by
her father, for could he have followed
the dictates of his better judgment he
would willingly have given his daughter
to the care OF one who he knew would
carefully shield her from the storms of
life. 1t was not he, but the cold, proud
mother, who SO haughtily refused Will
liam's request, accusing him of taking
underhand means to win her daughters
affections.
II had rather see you dead!'' said the
stony-hearted woman, when Jenny knelt
at her feet and pleaded for her to take
back the words she had spoken. Il had
rather see you dead than married to such
as he. mean what have said, and you
will never be his"
Jenny knew William too well to think
he would ever sanction an act OF disobe-
dience to her mother, and her heart grew
faint and her eyes grew dim with tears,
as She thought Of conquering the love
