TRANsMIssIssIPPI CONGRESS.
Chinese Exclusion Law and Its Re
suits Chief Topic of Discussion.

SuitS SHiCi iOpiC OI 6lSCuSSioTs
Portland, Ore, Aug. 1S.-The Trans
mississippi Congress opened here
Wednesday and at once the Chinese
exclusion law and its results came up
for discussion. Governor Chamber
lain of Oregon had hardly finished the
perfunctory welcome to the congress
when he launched an emphatic dictum
to the effect that while the commercial
interests of China are valuable, the in
flux of horde of Chinese coolies into
the Pacific coast states is too high a
price to pay for it, and this, he said in
effect, would be the result if the ex-
clusion laws were not administered
with the utmost stringency.
Though not SO emphatic in his dec
larations, Governor Mead expressed
similar views on the subject The rep
resentatives in the congress of Ore
gon and Washington heartily ap-
plauded this sentiment, but the Cali
fornians, whose metropolis is credited
with almost monopoly of the $780,
000,000 import trade of China, were
conspicuously silent.
That the better classes of Chinese
are Disseminated against to an unwar-
ranted extent, that less stringent ad-
ministration of the exclusion law or IL
necessary, limited reconstruction, is
advisable, was urged by the speakers
on oriental trade at the second days
session of the Transmississippi Com
mercial congress to-day.
These ideas were brought out with
especial force by Hon. John H. Barrett.
United States Minister to Colombia,
and Theodore B. Wilcox, president OF
the congress.
Mr.. Barrett, during the course of his
address, emphasized the point that 1t
is not to compel the introduction Of
Coolie labor which the Chinese are
demonstrating against, but quite the
contrary. The boycott is remon-
STRANGE because the sons of noblemen,
refined and well educated gentlemen,
are held in the detention quarters by
unwise immigration officials at our
ports of entry for period of ten days
at time, and compelled to herd with
| the lowest classes of their country
men. during that time.

The international Commission De-
cides the Opening of Fire by
R~OjestvensIky Was Not Justified.

Paris, Feb. 27.-The international
commission on the North sea incident
finds that THE OPENING OF THE
FIRE BY ADMIRAL ROJESTvENSKY
WAS NOT JUSTIFIED"
The decision was publicly announced
at the closing session of the commits
sion Saturday.
The decision lengthily sets forth the
circumstances and incidents, and gives
the opinion of the admirals On the var
ious important points involved.
The decision says the delay of the
Russian transport Kamschatka. follow
ing the breakdown of her machinery,
was perhaps the cause of the incident.
The commander of the Kamschatka
signaled to Admiral R~ojestvensky dur
ing the evening that he had been at
tackled by torpedo boats. The admiral,
therefore, had reason to believe he
would be attacked and gave orders for
strict vigilance against the possible APP
proach of torpedo boats.

HIS HEAD IN TIGERS JAWS
Marvellous Escape of Herman b.
ger From a Horrible Death:
Saved by When Id
tackled by Unruly Beast I'm Hager~
backs show i'm st. Louis.

st. Louis, March TUESDAY after
noon, as Herman Boyer, an animal
trainer in the Hagenback show at the
old Zoo, was giving an exhibition in
a cage of tigers before a large audience,
he was attacked by one of the beasts
without warning.
The tiger making the attack is
known as Tom" and had been sulky
and spiteful throughout the perform
ance. Once or twice he had refused
to obey Boger's commands and had
manifested his temper by snarling and
showing his teeth. When the moment
came for Boyer to perform the "pyra-
mid" feat with animals in the cage,
the tiger occupied a spot where he
would be behind the trainer during
the act.
Suddenly, as Boyer was busy with
the other animals, Tom" made a
spring and landed upon the trainers
back and shoulders, bearing him to the
ground. Almost before the audience
knew what had happened the tiger had
the mans head between his jaws.
Two are three assistants sprang into
the cage almost the moment following
the attack made by the tiger, and by
beating the beast with iron rods, forced
him to relinquish his hold on Boyer,
whom they then dragged unconscious
from the cage.
A doctor who happened to be among
the audience went to the assistance of
the wounded man. He found that Bo-
ger was badly lacerated about the
neck, face and head. There were two
serious scalp wounds, n five inches
and the other three inches in length,
besides other decorations. Boger's in
juries were given attention, after
which the performance was continued.

THE YOUNG DANE WINS AGAIN

WORLDS LARGEST TUNNEL
Boring of the SimpIOn Tunnel
Through the Alps Has Been
Completed.

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 25.-Tht
boring of the Simplon tunnel, The
longest tunnel in the world, was com
pleted at 1870 Friday morning.
The accomplishment of the great en-
cheering feat was celebrated in fit.
ting by the ringing of bells
and the firing of guns throughout the
country.
Work on the tunnel. which is over
thirteen miles long, was begun five
years ago. Straight through the heart
of the Alps the passage way has been
bored. Work was begun at both ends
of the tunnel simultaneously, and a re-
markable part of the feat is that wheL
the two-Swiss and. Italian-wOrking
parties met there was barely a foot's
deviation. The work had been a most
difficult one, owing to the fact that the
bore passed through some of the high
asst mountains in the Alps.

WHY KRATZ WAS ACQUITTED.
Foreman of KRAFT Jury at Butler,
NO., Says the States Witnesses
Were D~iscreditcd.

Butler, Mo-, Feb. 27.-H. o. Maxcy,
foreman of the Kratz jury, said in an
interview:
1--WE found Kratz not guilty because
there was not sufficient evidence pre-
scented by the state to justify a convic-
ton; the evidence presented was not
of the right class. There was very lit
tie substantiation of the charge that
Kratz had any connection with the
Doodle fund, although it was clear
there was money put hp for that pur-
pose. We did noting for the defend
ant out of sympathy. ( don't think
the speeches affected the jury at all, al
though they were we'll presented. The
reputation of most all the states wit
nesses was bad and we couldn't on
vict on such"
Other jurymen gave about the same
talk, and especially remarked about the
disrepute of the states witnesses.

MORMON TITHING SYSTEM
Even Those of School Teachers
Must Pay Tribute.

Washington, March 1.-Senator
K%earns, of Utah, in the course of a
farewell speech in the senate, Tuesday,
in which he inveighed bitterly against
the Mormon hierarchy, referred to the
tithing system. He said that no ac-
counting was made of this vast sum
of one-tenth of the incomes of all the
Mormons, and that the president of the
church expended it according to his
own will. He said the hopelessness of
cOntending in a business way with
this autocrat was perfectly apparent,
and continued:
at will astound you to know that
every dollar of United States money
paid to any servant of The govern
ment, who is a Mormon, is tithed for
the benefit of this monarch. Out of
every thousand dollars thus paid he
gets 800 to swell his grandeur. This
is also true of money paid out of the
public treasury of the state of Utah to
Mormon officials. But what is worst of
all, the monarch dips into the sacred
public school fund and extracts from
every Mormon teacher one-tenth Of his
or her earnings and uses it for his I'M
accounted purposes; and by means of
these purposes and the power which
they constitute, he defes the laws of
his state, the sentiment of his country,
and is waging war of notification on
the public school system SO dear to the
American people"

Japan Doesn't Intend to Place Or

Toxic, Feb.27.-The statement cabled
to the United States from London that
Japan has ordered four battleships in
England is incorrect. 1t is probable,
unless circumstances dictate otherwise,
that Japan will, in future, construct
all her vessels at home. She has
equipped extensive yards, shops and
gun and armor foundries. and there is
a strong and growing sentiment in the
navy and among the people generally,
in favor of home construction exclu-
sively. The yards are already engaged
