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

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
flax of a horde of Chinese coolies into
the Pacific coast states is too high
price to pay for it, and this, he said in
effect, would be the result il the ex-
cluslon 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-
plfuded this sentiment, but the Cali
fornians, whose metropolis is credited
with almost a monopoly of the $780,
100000 import trade of China, were
conspicuously silent.
That the better classes of Chinese
are Disseminated against to an unwar-
ranted extent, that a less stringent ad-
ministration of the exclusion law, or II
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 wrre brought out with
especial force by Hon. John II. 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 a 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 a period of ten days
at time, and compelled to herd with
the lowest classes of their country.
men during that time.
The congress listened to a number
of addresses on various topics.

SHARPLY FELT IN FIVE STATES
Tremor Shakes ST. Louis, Memphis,
Tennessee, and Springfield, Illinois.
Mo Damage Reported.

st. Louis. Aug. est. Louis and

last night shortly after IL O'Clock.
Three distinct shocks were felt by
thousands of persons in st. Louis and
st. Louis county, as far as Belleville.
Illinois, as far south as Memphis.
Tennessee, and as far north as Spring
field, Illinois.
While the tremors lasted scarcely
minute, they were distinct enough to
awaken sleeping residents Of the city.
to cause dogs to bark in alarm and
to wake sleeping children who cried
out in terror.
The shocks, from a comparison of
the time they were felt in the districts
visited, seemed to travel from east to
west. There was but an infinitesimal
period between the shocks, but sec
ond intervening between the first and
second spasms, and about three sec
onds between the second and third. or
final shock.
The trembling of the earth was ac
companied by a dull rumbing noise,
which sounded like the passing OF a
distant freight train.

Female Military Company of Missouri
Surprises Beholders.

Columbia, Mo. Aug ga military
company composed of the daughter.
OF Boone county farmers has been or
sanized with headquarters at Engle-
wood, eleven miles southeast of Co
lumbia. The object of the oreaniza-
ton is to demonstrate that women, if
properly armed and drilled, can make
just as good soldiers as the stronger
sex. The company is under the COM
mand of Mrs. Ernest Fl. Smith of En-
g!ewood, who ranks as captain. and
under her instructions has become
thoroughly proficient in the manual
Of arms. The first public drill
took place at a log-rolling at Enele-
wood, where, in the presence of a
crowd Of curious visitors from all
parts of the county, the girl soldiers
gave striking exhibition going
through the entire manual of arms
like veterans.

GIRLS SEE WORLD IN BOX CAR
Tired of Home, Travel by Freight
From St. Louis Into Kansas.

st. Louis, Aug. 24.-Having ridden
in box car for several days, to ''see
the world,' she said, Pearl Bernard,
aged 16, came back to st. Louis today
from Leavenworth, Kan. The girl and
her companion of the same age, AZa
Nichols. both of whom live in this
city. decided a week ago that they
were tired of staying at home and
wanted to see the country. They
climbed into box car one night and,
without knowing where the freight
train to which it was attached would
take them, travelled as far as Leav-
enworth. Here Miss Bernard was dis
covered and held by the police. Her
parents sent her money to return. The
girl said she did not know what had
become of her companion.

THE COMING ECLIPSE.

The eclipse of the moon, which took
place August IA, has aroused consid-
cradle interest in this form of celes-
tial phenomena. and it is likely that
the partial eclipse of the sun, which
will take place August 80, will be
watched with unusual interest. In the
United States the eclipse is visible
east of a line drawn from Galveston
through Denver, and north to Mon
tana. 1t is total in Tunis. Northern
Africa, and extends northwest through
Spain and Portugal. A great many
expeditions are being prepared by
scientific bodies to inspect the eclipse,
as at that time certain features of the
sun can be studied which are impos-
sible under ordinary conditions.

kind that you are called upon to face
in my court, Mr.. Foti. No one regrets
this more than do, for you have al.
ways conducted very orderly bust
ness, and regret that you choose to
violate the law with regard to the
wine rooms question. But you will re-
member that promised to assess the
maximum penalty against you if you
persisted in your disregard of this law
Today I will fine you 500. If the Of
Tense is repeated, I will confine you to
the city Jail. I am determined to en-
force the ordinance in the matter re-
CARELESS of personal favor, and while
| feel friendly toward you I must
state now that you must comply with
the law. The wine rooms must go.
sincerely trust that you will give me
no more occasion to reprina and or pun
ish you in way for violation of this
ordinance"
