ments and batteries sailed from San

Of troops to the Philippines the war
department mas not followed its usual
custom of withdrawing an equal num-
Der from the Philippines to the Unit

ment by the war department officials
vary, but there is some reason to be-
lieve that it is made in expectation of
trouble in China, the forerunner of
which was probably the recent affair
in Shanghai. The administration is
fearful of what may happen in China
and the possibility that this govern
men may be forced to send troops for
the protection of American lives and
property in China is considered great

Roosevelt's Example.


Some of the more outspoken students
insist that she be ostracised, while
others are inclined to take a broader
minded view and receive her on equal
terms. The leaders of the latter fac
ton quote from speeches of President
Roosevelt on the subject, and declare
that if the president of the United
States is not too good to eat at the
same table with a highly respected col
ored teacher, then they should not
consider themselves above doing the
same thing with a girl student
They also tell how the colored stu
dents are received on equal terms in

BRYANT new SHEEP INSPECTOR
BEEN DICTATED BY FORMER
INSPECTOR BEAN.

PENDLETON, Feb. John Bryant,
of Cayuse, mas been appointed as stock
inspector of Umatilla county to take
the place of John E. Bean, who re-
signed at the request of the county
court.
Considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed over the selection of Mr.. Bry-
ant after the sheepmen had already
unanimously Endorsed Alono Knots
for the position. In view of the fact
that most of the stock inspector
duties are in connection with the in
spection of sheep, it was presumed
that the recommendation of the asso-
citation would have more weight with
the county court.
Among those who are in close
tocuh with the subject, it is said the
appointment of Mr.. Bryant was made
at the suggestion of the county judge
and was balm for the injured feelings
of the former inspector.

Accompanied by her brother who

hall yesterday and her appearance
caused no end of commotion among
the young white women as she is the
first colored student to enter, at the

For time there was talk of a gen

were held The sentiment was that
Miss Clark should be banished, but the
faculty would list to no such thing,
insisting that the normal school is sup
ported by the state and that Miss
Clark will remain so long as she
wishes, that the students shall treat
ner with Difference and respect and
that she be allowed to mingle with
them in the social gatherings.
Last night Miss Clark did not ap-
pear at the supper table, remaining in
her room, and this led some Of the
more radical of the students to think
they had gained a victory. But this
morning she came down to breakfast
