their hunts Al the request of an old dying
Indian De Blondeau was made a member

quainted with the chief, an old man who
knew where the Russians had marked the
line across the country. The chief took De
Blondeau 20 the head Of Chilkoot River and
showed him pile Of stones which had been
scattered about. These were the remains
OF one monument
the summit OF the mountains, where another
series OF monuments was shown to him.
Ten distinct monuments. some distance
apart and forming almost a straight line,
were found. Near No monument werr
found the remains Of an old stock house,
which the Indians call Russian house"
The monuments are a continuation of
two discovered last summer by Lieut.

tion the Indians showed De Blondeau can

MISS WASHINGTON'S FAILIRE.
Didn't Get Through Her Examinations at
WelleSley-Race Feeling There.

WELLESLEY, Mass. Nov. 2.--The fact has
become known that Miss Portia Washington,
daughter OF Booker T. Washington, failed
to pass her examinations for her second
year at Wellesley College and is now a
student at Bradford Academy
The faculty at Wellesley will have nothing
to say about the matter beyond the mere
fact that Miss Washington was not pro-
ficient in her music, but among the girls
other opinions are expressed plentifulv
Despite n great deal of talk 10 the effect
that Miss Washington was welcomed heart
lily by her co-students and made much of,
the fact is that the college was divided into
factions over her. Southern girls. Of
whom there are a good many at Wellesley,
absolutely refused to associate with her,
and these were upheld by many others
A good many Northern girls. however,
took up" Miss Washington, invited her
TO all their socials, called on her and were
friendly with her in every way
The feeling about Miss Washington
soon developed a hostile feeling between
her supporters and her non-supporters,
and unpleasantness was the result. The
question OF the young girls personality v
entered little into this little race war As
far as that was concerned she was found
to be accomplished and refined in every
way and quite unostentatious.
Miss Washington proved TO be thorn
In the flesh TO the faculty on account of the
newspaper notoriety which she gained
Articles signed by her and interviews on
her reception at tho college did not meet
with the approval of her teachers.

THE NEW FILIPINO CHURCH.
Renegade Priests Move Against Rome
Attracts Attention.
Special Cdae Despatch to TIL

Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
MANILA. Nov. 2.-Father Aglipay. the
rene gade priest who founded the National
Catholic Church here, kept his promise
and for the second time performed mass to-
day at an improvised altar in an open field
in the centre of the populous Tondo dis
trict The service was well attended.
The Philippine Commission and the regu-
lar clergy are closely watching Father Agli-
pay. but they are unable as yet to esti-
mate the extent of the movement. Many
Influential Filipinos are believed TO sympa-
thi1e secretly with the new Church, and it
is probable that the native clergy in certain
localities whore the Roman Catholic Church
is not very strong will not oppose Father
Aglipay. although a majority of the priests
steadfastly uphold the tcnets of the Roman
Catholic Church and seek 10y every legiti-
mate means to prevent the natives from
falling under the influence of the schis-
matte movement
The gradual Amercanization Of the
priests and the requirement by them Cf
the several dialects in use by the native,
would retrieve the situation. Many ad-
vocate the appointment of an American
Archbishop.
