trade methods are seriously develop ing. We insist that the countries of continental Europe shall admit our products at reasonable terms, and if they do, are prompt ill adopting some form of retaliation.u But we are not willing to accord to the products of these countries that opportunity for sale within our borders that we de mand in Europe for our own goods. Be. sides this, the continental statesmen see rising before them the spectre or enormous industrial combinations, so powerful in their command of resourc- es, so masterly in their development of facilities, that they can overflow and paralyze the competing industries of continental Europe. These foreigners see menaced in these ways their future industrial wellbeing.

TALE OF TREACHERY
Modoc Tribe Wiped Out by Self.
 Seeking White Men.
Princess Mary, Surviving Sister oi the Famous Capt. Jack, Tells the Story of Her Peoples Mis-
 fortunes and Misery.

It is a pitifuI tale of vanishing race that comes from the pen of the artist Burbank, who had been paying visit to the remnant of the Modoo tribe in the Indian territory. There are left only 50 of this once numer- ous and warlike people. Princess Mary, a sister of the Modoc chief. Capt. Jack, who was hanged 30 years ago for "a bit of treachery to the whites, told the story to the artist of her tribes woes.
 Years ago there were many Mo does. They lived in southern Oregon along the banks of the Lost river. The whites invaded the country with out an attempt at treaty. A from tiersman named Ben Wright lost a Indians. He plotted revenge. At first he formed wagon train and into each covered vehicle he loaded armed men. The train had the ap- pearance of a peaceful settlers car avan. The wagons were driven into the Modocs' country. The warriors came to the hills, looked at the train and did not attack. The ruse failed. Then Ben Wright put on the garb of a peaceful trader, and sending out some runners induced men, wom- en and children of the Modoc tribe to meet him at the base of some foothills, there to exchange belts for coveted gewgaws. The Modocs came unarmed. They sauatted in a great group in front of the supposed trader. Suddenly the hillside was afame. The rifles of more than a hundred concealed men opened on the defenseless Modocs. They broke and fled, but left scores of dead and wounded behind. The whites saw to it that the wounded speedily joined the ranks of the dead Capt. Jack as boy was present at this massa- ere. Years afterward, when stand

MILDRED HOLLAND.

By special request, and after consid- erable maneuyering on the part of the local management, Miss Mildred Hol- land has been secured for 8 return en- gagement in "The Power Behind the Throne on Friday evening at Polls. When Miss Holland played here 8 few months ago she made 8 marked im- pression by her splendid impersonation of Aria, and local showgoers are still talking in enthusiastic terms of the magnificent production given by the brilliant young star and her finely bal aneed company. Whenever Miss Hol- land has played return engagements she has almost invariably played to the capacity of the theaters, and there are indications that she will have a similar experience here on Friday evening.

Senator McLaurin may continue to call himself a democrat if it pleases him to do so, but the fact that the dis tribution of federal patronage of South Carolina is in his hands, shows what sort of democrat he is. The white republicans of that state, who have monopolized the federal offices for thirty-fve years, except during the two Cleveland terms are doing much growing, but those who after reap appointment, are. told when they come to Washington. that it is necessary for them to have Senator McLaurin's en- dorsement, before they can get it. Not little amusement was caused in Washington when the news of Senator McLaurin's attempt to get ex-Senator Wade HRmpton, to throw his influence to the administration movement in ex- change for the office of post master of Columbia General Hampton is a poor man, and one of the reasons therefore is that he could never be bought That was well known in Washington through General Hampton's long and distinguished services in the senate, and as railroad commissioner. This must have been we'll known to Senator McLaurin, but, having changed him. self, he doubtless imagined that Gen. eral Hampton had also changed. He was quickly undeceived.

JOHN DREW.

Polls will present a brilliant scene this evening, when the distinguished John Drew makes his appearance in the title role of Richard Carvel." In addition to the novelty of seeing MT Drew in a romantic role a feature of interest will be the appearance of his leading lady, Miss Ida Conquest, who will be remembered as the beautiful typewriter of MT Drew's play, ''The Tyranny of Tears last season. MT Drew's new play is a dramatization of Winston Churchill's novel, Richard Carve1.' The play is said to be re- f1ex of the book as fully as it is pos sible for a stage interpretation to allow place. and in order that all the import ant characters of MT Chrrchills story may be properly counterfeited. the dramatist has introduced B speaking parts. The extent of cast made it nec- essary to add to the membership of Mir DreW's company. Accordingly, associ- ated with the people who have been T long time in the actors support are Mrs W. c. Jones, Mir Frank Losee and MT Francis Powers. The latter will be remembered as the author of the Chi nese play, sThe First Born.'' The play will be presented this evening exactly the same as during the long run at the Empire theater, New York, and will make a very fine performance. Prices are %, 50c, $1, $1.50 and $2.

Is the administration responsible f,

Is the administration responsible for the outbreak of jingoism against Ger many. just now figuring in some of the big newspapers? That question has been asked very frequently in Wash ington of late, and not a few answers have been in the affirmative, although what purpose of the administration would be served by a war scare or an actual war with Germany or any other nation, is not apparent unless it be scheme to work up public opinion in favor of congressional legislation for an enormous increase in our navy. It is certain, however, that men very close to the administration, are doing their best to increase the talk about Germany's intention to grab one or more of the little republics on this continent, regardless of the Monroe doctrine. This is playing with dyna- mite. It is not probable that Germany wants a war with us, and it is abso- lutely certain that we don't want a war with Germany, but it is easily possible for fool talk here and in Ger many to get the. two peoples so, wrought up that some little incident, which under ordinary circumstances would amount to nothing. might bring on one of the most costly wars ever fought.

"A ROYAL PRISONER ,,

The romantic drama, "A Royal Pris- oner," introducing True s. James as the star, will follow on Thursday, Fri day and Saturday, at the Jacques, opening with special matinee on Thursday The play, which is the work of MT James, is said to be new departure from the stereotyped melo- drama and is constructed along alto gether new lines. The author confines his climaxes to the quiet order, which, however, lose none of their intensity. There are many situations which call for rare ability, while all through the play there is interwoven a vein of com edy which blends admirably with the theme. The piece grows upon one from act to act, until the interest is so in- tense as to make one resret the clos ing scene.

The article in the London Spectator, a reference to which appeared in the Democrat few days ago. is creating no end of talk. The Herald of Boston had a long editorial cn our attitude to- ward the Philippine islands, in yester- days issue Among other things the Herald said: Even our Chinese policy is looked upon as a selfish one. We have taken the Philippine islands, and propose to keep them; but when Ger many, France, Russia and other coun- tries desire to possess themselves of China we protest, and insist on the "open door policy, because we know that, under such circumstances, the trade of China will eventually go largely to ourselves, with some little division to England, and that the con tinentaI nations. that mtg.h. obi ain a large share of Chinese trade if there was a terrltoria division made of China, will simply be offered an op portunity which to them will not be of the feast material value. Every state Sn the continent. the Spectator insists, feels keenly the dog in the manager attitude of the United States about the future of South America. It is ponted out that this vast continent is the only part of the habitable world which has not been made subject to European influences. Germany, it is said. would like the whole of Brazil, where large numbers of her citizens are already settled. Italy has sent hundreds of thousands of her people to Argentina, and would like to maintain her political connection with them. There is a great area in northern South America which France would like to acquire, and in the southern part there is a vast tract which could readily be absorbed by Austria-Hungary, to say nothing of possible divisions of the countries bordering on the Pacific coast. Our national policy has stood in the way of an acquisition by these countries of these highly valuable pos sessions, and We have allowed the spanish-American people-who, when ever we have been compelled to pro- nounce definitely on the subject, we have declared ito be united to rule themselves-to continue to misgoyern these great areas filled with undeyel- oped natural resources To this should be added the antagonism which our

l ing in the shadow of the gallows upon which he was to be hanged for murdering a white man, he ironical- ly asked the hangman for list of the palefaces who had been convict ed and hanged for the killing of the Modocs. It was some satisfaction. doubtless, to this Modoc warrior to hear that not long before Ben Wright had been lured from his cab- in and killed at the doorstep by the son of one of the victims of his treachery.
 Now, says the Chicago Record Herald, there are only 50 of the Mo docs left. The wonder grows in view of their persecution that they muster even half hundred strong Once the government asked the Mo docs to leave their ancestral home and take residence on the Klamath reservation. Through the influence of Superintendent A. B. Meacham they were induced to move. No sooner were the Modocs settled on the new land than the Klamath Tn dians began to molest them. They were moved to another part of the reservation. There the Klamaths att tackled again and the local agent re- fused to issue food. The Modocs were starving, and without notice, between suns, they took up the march back to the fertile Lost river country. There Meacham sought them out again. He was authorized. he thought, as last resort, to give them permission to stay where they were. The Indians accepted this permission gladly and promised peace with undoubted sincerity. Within month the government or dered their forcible removal Sol. Gs Gsers surprised them and ki'ssed five. of the band. The Modocs retaliated later and then took to the lava beds. where the First cavalry was sent to dislodge them. Through eastern efforts a peace commission was ap- pointed. Its members were Gen. Canby, A. B. Meacham and a clergy man named Thomas. These men were lured to a conference with Jack and several of his warriors. The white men were killed. For months the Indians fought the whites from the stronghold of the lava beds. Finally they were overcome, and Capt. Jack, Schonchin and Black Jim were hanged. As lesson to the tribe that treachery was a white mans prerogative.
 In her log hut in the Indian ter ritory Princess Mary still wears the mourning emblems of her tribe in memory of her chieftain brother. A few more seasons and there will be none left of these manful Modocs to mourn the warrior dead.
