NuRruRED BY SHE WOLF.
Mountain Baby Fit Successor t
 Romulus and Remus.

Mountain Baby Fit Successor to
 Romulus and Remus. Red Ledge Dispatch to The St. Paul
 Pioneer Press.
 From Ewing, thirty miles from here comes a story so strange and startling that 1t has attracted much attention. and that steps have been taken to either prove or disprove 1t. for if it is true. a new fact in natural history has been established and the much -mahgned wolf will take a higher place in the estima- ton of the human race.
 Several weeks ago, according to re- ports that have reached here, an infant daughter of William Dunphy, a prospec- tor, who lived in the hills overlooking Ewing. with his wife, was carried of one afternoon by a wild animal.
 Search was made for the little one, but no trace of it could be found, and the babe was finally given up for dead. Ever since then the father has spent his time in the hills seeking the bears and the wolves, which are numerous in the noun tains, and siaughtering them wherever found, while the mother has sat and wept and pined away over the fate of her child.
 While Dunphy was hunting in the mountains yesterday he came on a wolf den which showed signs of being occu- pied. He waited for a long time, and then, as no wolf came forth. he decided to enter the den and see for himself what was in 1t.
 As he entered the place he heard the cry of child. Advancing. he saw a sight that almost turned his hair white. Lying on a bed of grass at the end of the den was a big mother wolf, with several pups playing beside her, while close to her side was his lost baby. try ing to get a dinner from the mother wolf. which seemed to enjoy the tug ging.
 The wolf simply growled, but made no attempt to escape or to make an attack when the man approached She was at tached to the child. apparently. and had been nursing 1t. At least that is the supposition, as the little one was well nourtshed and was without a scratch.
 Two men who have come from Ewing today have told the same story. Both men hitherto had excellent regulations.

OPIUM IN PHILIPPINES.
Chinese Argue for Indiscriminats
 Sale of the Drug.

Manila. July S.-Representatives of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Evangelical Union argued for six hours today in opposing the opium bill at the public discussion of that measure on the occasion of it's third reading.
 The Chinese advocated that there be no change in the present indiscriminate sale of opium with additional government su- pervision of it's importation. The Evan gelical Union delegates urged the proht- bition of the sale of opium by the United States Commission and exposed the most sensational conditions prevailing. alleging that the Chinese are tampering with the newspapers and raising a fund destined to be used in bringing about the defeat of the bill.
 The object of the opium bill is to create an opium monopoly in the archipelago and sell it to the highest bidder. It is based on the theory that 1t will restrict the use of the drug to the Chinese who have used it all their lives and prevent its indiscriminate sale to Americans and Filipinos, many of whom are falling vic- tims to the use of opium. Sales of the drug are to be controlled by a conces- sonary, who may acquire the right to sell opium in the islands by bidding for the privilege every three years. There are provisions for licenses and control of the tariff.
