0 THE CHINESE.
Outlaws Burn Houses and Plumber
Chinks in Eastern Oregon.

-H# ''s''s~ H e.
Boise, Idaho, Aug. 13.-News has
been received here of an outrage com
mitted last Friday by outlaws at Nor
mon Basin, in Malheur county, in
eastern Oregon. This was in the set
pied by Chinese placer miners. The
outlaws set fire to the houses occu-
pied by the Chinese. The latter gath
cred up their money and fed, only
to be met by the robbers, who knock
ed them down and relieved them of
their treasure. Twenty-Five houses
were burned. Information concerning
the affair is meager and it is not
known whether there was any IA
talities.

PRESERVING THE RECORD.
Because of natural condition

Because OF natural conditions FULLY
understood by the growers and buy
ers, The Gazette is willing to admit
that in many instances the prices paid
for wool on the Great Falls market
have been higher than those obtained
on the market of this city. Those
conditions are not of mans creation,
except in SO far as they relate to diff
ferentiation of the desirable and I'M
desirable. The wool sold at the form
er market is preferred because it is
cleaner and freer from natural oils,
that of this part of the state carrying
q higher amount of oil and conse-
Quently is dirtier, causing fleeces to
weigh more and necessitating a larg-
er allowance for shrinkage. AS far
as the quality of the staple is con-
cerned the difference is all in favor
of Billings and were other conditions
equal the wool sold on this market
would bring higher prices than that
sold at Great Falls.
This much of a concession The Ga
zette is willing to make because the
facts bear it out, but it will not con
coed to Great Falls the other claims,
Of being the largest and best market
in the state and consequently the larg-
est initial or interior market in the
world. The figures are all against
our northern competitor. Pound for
pound the sales and shipments from
this city far exceed those of Great
Falls, Notwithstanding that Billings
this a sustained a loss through
the opening of a market at Cody, and
that Great Falls claims ability to
show an increase of receipts over last
year.
The statements published in The
Gazette and the Great Falls Tribune
bear out the contention in behalf of
Billings. The Gazette's figures are
absolutely reliable and trustworthy
and it is to be supposed that those
published in the Tribune are no less

lower than the actual amounts. This
must not be construed as meaning
that the charge of padding is made
against our contemporary. In a mat
ter of SO much Importance it is safe
to assume that are is taken not to
err On the wrong side or that by any
possible chance a sack of wool is
overlooked, but that every pound
which a be justly and rightfully
claimed is duly credited to the ex
ports. In it's compilation of figures
The Gazette tried to get all that it
honestly could and credits the Tri-
bune with the same degree of care and
caution, hence it is willing to accept
the Tribune's statement as showing
at least all the wool shipped from
the city on the Big Muddy.
The Gazette has no desire to speak
of the Great Falls wool market in any
way disparagingly, for it recognizes
that next to Billings it is the greatest
in the world. but it simply desires to

for rheumatism. He claims that he

being struck by lightning. He is not

like manner, but n of the very few
who ever lived to tell of it,. For that
reason his remedy will probably new

PACIFIC CABLE CONDITIONS.

ed by Attorney Genera Knox and ap-
proved by the president for the con
struction of a cable to Hawaii and the
Philippines shall be accepted by any
private company able to fulfill them
it is very probable that there will be
nc serious objection, in congress or
on the part Of the public. It has been
co%nclusively shown that a majority
IN congress are not in favor of the
government laying a Pacific cable.
The question was very thoroughly
considered and fully discussed, with
the result that the Bill providing for
a government cable was defeated. It
is safe to say that a renewal of the
proposition would meet with a sim
liar fate.
The Importance of having a cable
between the United States and it's
Oriental possessions is generally rec
ognized and it is desirable that this
connection shall be established as
soon as possible. The essential thing
is that the cable shall be at all times
and in all circumstances available to-
the government at a reasonable
charge for the services and this is pro-
vided for in the conditions approved
by the president. All interests of the
government are carefully safeguard
ed. The company contracting to lay
and operate a cable must be free from
any combination or association that
would interfere with any other Amer
lean company laying cable from the
United States to Chinese territory, or
by which rates would be regulated.
Thus a monopoly cannot be created,
the field being left open to competi-
ticn. No other than American terri
tory shall be touched by the cable
on the way from the United States to
China. Rates for commercial service
must be reasonable. Government
messages shall have priority over all
business at rates to be fixed annually
by the postmas ter general. The Unit

times to purchase the cable at an
appraised value and may assume full
control of it in time of war or when
wal is threatened. Other conditions
relate to the operation of the cable
and require prompt and efficient serv-
ice.
The president and attorney general
seem to have left nothing to- be desired
in order to fully protect the interests
of the government in connection with
the projected cable. The government
is to fix the rates it shall pay, shall
have priority in service, is authoriz-
ed to take full control Of the cable in
case of wal and shall at all times have
the right to purchase the lines, prop
erty and effects. 1t is not easy to see
how greater security could be given
than is provided in these conditions.

keep the record straight and if pos

greatest initial wool market in the
world and unless nature and man
conspire against it will continue to
be so for many years to come.

THE PRECINCT MEETINGS.

Republican precinct meetings to be
held tomorrow night are worthy a
place on every Republican voters list
of engagements as a matter of first i'm
portance. This preliminary organiza-
ton is a chief factor in the successful
work OF the party for the coming cam
paign. Differences OF opinion exist in
the party rank and file. There is more
or less so-called factional feeling, Men
differ in their opinion Of the strength
of candidates proposed for committees
and conventions; they differ on tho
general issues on which the party
should go before the people as outlined
in the platform to be framed.
The place TO discuss these conten-
tiOns, to fight it out, is in the precinct
meetings and the primaries to follow,
To differ is not a crime; to have an
opinion is no sin. The place for thresh-
ing out the issues, which the party
must determine for itself before going
into the struggle with opposing forces,
is the precinct meeting and the pri-
mary. The Republican party wants no
hind sight" instructions from voters
who failed to attend organization meet
ings and hold the active participants
responsible for possible errors, or fail
IRE to give proper recognition to indi-
viduals or factions. Precinct assem-
blies should serve as party threshing
machines for strife with the majority
verdict receiving the cordial and ener-
getic support of the minority when the
final precinct ballots are cast.
The stay-at-home voter is worthy of
scant attention at any time and least
OF all in shaping a party organization.

Men of conviction, supporters of party
measures unwilling to assist in bring
ing about the acceptance of their
views or to appear in support of their
candidates become so much dead wood.
They are usually highly critical and
dampen the ardor If not impeding the
work of those willing to give their time
and thought to the advancement of
party interests.
Hardly less important than the vote
at the primaries is the work before the
precinct clubs tomorrow evening.
These meetings should largely shape
the result of the primaries by securing
the nouination of capable men, hard
workers, men of good judgment and
strong followings to represent the par
ty in its nominating conventions. 1t
Is far better to discuss prospective is
sues in the precinct meeting, than to
leave the deliberations to the misun-
derstandings and possible misrepresen-
tations of a street corner talk or the
Office conference. To do this the voters
must be in attendance at the meetings
and show by their presence at least
that their interest in party success is Of
the active kind that counts.

HORSE CENTENNIAL
OF HAWAII

May "a, 1903. will be the Centennial
OF the Noble Animal in Hawaii It
will be one hundred years on that date
since the arrival of the first horses ever
seen in the Hawaiian Islands.
With several vigorous Jockey clubs
In Hawaii today, as well as a splendid
showing OF both thoroughbred and
grade equine flesh upon all the princi.
pal islands, it might be proper to sug-
gest fitting celebration of Hawaii's
Horse Centennial. BY working up the
idea early, there might be ensured Il
gala day in Honolulu which would at
tract visitors from beyond the seas.
Appended is the record of the land
ing OF the first horses found in Alex
ander's History:
In May, 1903. Captain Cleveland
touched ut the islands on mis- way from
California to China bringing with him
the first horses ever seen here. He
landed a mare and foal at Kawaihac
for John Young on the oath. and two
days later landed a horse and mare at
Lahaina as present to the king.
Their beauty and mettle excited the
wonder and admiration of the natives.
In spite of his advanced ago. Kameha-
meha afterwards became n good horse
man"
4 horse show with track events on
the side would be an appropriate cele-
bration OF the centennial.

PARDON NOT ADVISED
BANDIT All W0'S CASE.
NOT one FOR CLEMENCY
Serving a Lenient Sentence for Auda-
ciOus Robbery and Not Prosecuted
For Another Like
Crime.

All Wo. the bandit convict has failed
| to impress the Executive with a petit
! ton for pardon. L. A. Douthitt, AS
! sistant Attorney General maed a re-
| port on the application to the Attorney
| General, WHO thereupon submitted the
| following advice TO Governor Dole:
Il herewith submit Mr.. Douthitt's re.
port relative to the matter of the ap.
! plication for a pardon of All Wo. Upon
his statement. orally corroborated by
that of the Deputy Attorney General,
| II seems to me clear that the applica-
ton for a pardon should be refused"
| Following are extracts from Mr..
Douthitt's report:
"Ah Wo, together with one Nishyd-
ma, were indicted by the Grand Jury
of this Territory upon a charge OF rob.
berry in the first degree. The robbery
was upon a Japanese woman here in
| Honolulu. I prosecuted them at the
May term, 1902, of the Circuit Court at
| Honolulu, and they were convicted. 1t
appears that All Wo, in company with
NIshyama, went to the house of the
japanese woman one evening between
s and 9 o'clock. At the time they ar
rived the japanese woman was preDa".
/ ing to retire for the night. After
! knocking at the door they were admit
| ted into the room. and Immediately All
| Wo presented a pistol at the breast OF
the Japanese woman and demanded
money of her, threatening to kill her II
she did not comply with his request.
| Finally. acting under the fear of these
threats, she yielded and gave All Wa
the sum of twenty dollars. 1t appear
ed from the testimony at the trial that
All Wo was the prime mover in the IN.
| terprise; II was he who held the PTS
tol; II was he who made the threats;
and II was he who got the money.
/ "Ah Wo is a young Chinese of fair
English education, speaks English IN.
entity, and seems TO be a man of consld.
cradle intelligence. Evidently he knew
exactly what he was doing on the even.
ing of this occurrence"
Mr.. Douthitt relates that another
charge of robbery in the first degree
was pending against All Wo, for tav.
! ing held up gambling joint at the
point of a pistol while Incorporating
with n policeman's badge. This sec
ond case was not prosecuted when
conviction had been obtained in the
| first one. The Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral concludes thus:
The offense of which these defend.
ants was convicted is punishable by
section 116 of the Penal Laws OF 1897
( by imprisonment at hard labor for I.fe,
or any number of years. In my opIn-
ION the sentence of five years for a
crime of this gravity was not only not
4 excessive. but was extremely lenient.
The men were not under the innu.
ence Of liquor upon the occasion in
question, and, as far as | know there
were no eXtenuating circumstances IN
/ this case Therefore. can see no rna.
son why executive clemency should be
exercised"
