London, April 16.-The newspa-
pers here take an alarming view OF
the anti-foreign uprising in China.
They express the fear today that the
uprising will be worse than the boz
er disturbances of 1900.
The opinions are based on gov
ernment advices, indicating wide
spread increasing hostilities on the
part of the Chinese towards foreign
ers.
The News today declares the trou-
BILE is due to a ''recrudescence of the
national movement against foreign
ers, who generally, and often justly
are regarded as mere concession
hunters"
THE anti-foreign movement is no
longer in the hands of fanatics" the
News continues, but is directed by
a new generation Of student Chin
ese. The authorities are. constantly
encouraging the movement.
What is happening in Chang Sha
is only symptom of what is boiling
in the peoples blood throughout the
Chinese empire"
Government circles likewise are
taking a pessimistic view Of the up
rising and fear that the uprising
may grow to alarming proportions.
The Wesleyan missionary society
here today has been notified thas-
threatened missionaries have fed 20
Hankow for safety.
No fatalities have yet been re-
ported but Chang sha is In the
hands of the mob The destruction
of the Wesleyan Methodist China in
land mission and the Norwegian
mission have been confirmed in dis
patches reaching here today. +

Wires out OF Chang sha have been
cut and reports today are meager.
The news that has come out OF tho
city, however, is disquieting. Riot

demands are being made against the
foreigners in the city and that the
situation is grave.

jackson Is Safe.

New Orleans, La, April 16.--
Communication with jackson,
Miss, was restored at noon to-
day, following the isolation of
the city since 10 o'clock last
night, when it was reported
struck by a tornado. 1t is stat =
ed that heavy property damage "
was done in Jackson, but none
are reported killed there. ="
AS yet only three deaths have
been reported, but it is be-
lieved that others have lost their
lives.
A number of parties of fisher
men along the Louisiana coats
are missing, and it is feared that
they have perished.
+
houses and to telegraph and tele-
phone wires followed.
Before the second storm broke,
reports of alarming conditions In
the storm swept regions caused
grave apprehension 1t is feared
that number of persons have been
injured in falling buildings. Ef-
forts are being made to restore
communication with Jackson. It is
feared that the city may be cut off
from the outside world for some
hours yet No effort will be made
at organized relief until more def
mite accounts of the damage have
been received.
Jackson, the capital of Mississ-
ippi, is cut off from communication
today, and it is feared the city sui
fered heavily. At 10 O'Clock last
night brief bulletin was sent out
saying a tornado had struck the
city. Since then no word has come
, from 1t.
More than hundred miles of wire
are down in the Jackson rebion, and
it is feared that the storm which
struck there has played havoc not
only in the city itself, but in the
surrounding community.
The first storm, which swept the
state late last night did heavy dam
age. Railroads have been washed
out, telegraph and telephone wires
are down in the Jackson region, and
wrecked, and many of the smaller
towns and cities heavily damaged.
Como, Marigold and Jonestown,
Miss, were struck by the full force
of the storm. Houses were unroofed
fand some We're lifted from their
foundations. The storm which was
at first a violent gale, developed lat
er into a driving rain, which added
to the heavy damage wrought by the
wind. In some regions five inches
of water fell. Streams today are
out of their banks.
Reports received today show one
person killed at Columbia, Miss.
A negress was crushed to death in
the wreckage of a building at Jones
town, Miss.
]. V, Brandon ana his wife were ia
tally injured in their home near
SGottsburg, Miss, and their little
daughter killed.
Their home was struck by light

An effort is being maze by the dip

reach a settlement without resort to

While 1t is conceded that the dis

Naturalists dispute as to the quantity

The orange red is the tish's protec-

AN lMPoSToR'S TRICK.
Tho Cheerful Liar That Made q Fool
Of the Grand Monarch.

most humiliating way and by an i'm

one OF his most dazzling military sue

Grand received word that an embassy
from Persia had just landed at Mar
Seilles en- route to the French court to
bring salutations and presents from
the shah. Pleased that his fame
should actually have run around the
world, he sent word that all the towns
should fete the ambassador.
AS result the journey to Paris was
a march Of triumph Children sang
and flowers were strewn along the
way. Arrived at Paris. several regi-
ments Of the Swiss guard met the
shah's representative and escorted him
to magnificent suit in the old palace
of the Tuileries Louis sent no less
a person than the Due de Richelieu to
welcome the potentate and invite him
out to Versailles to special reception
In the hall of mirrors.
The ambassador presented himself
as Ria Bey Of the Persian court and
after showing his credentials ad-
vanced to kiss the hand of Louis lie
Grand and give him the shah's con-
gratualtions on his recent victories.
A caravan of presents from his i'm.
perial sovereign were on their way
and would arrive in Paris in a few
days, said the ambassador.
Festivals followed at Versailles. The
hey received magnificent presents from
Louis and royal entertainment. He
lounged gracefully on dfvans at the
French court and smoked In Persian
languor. He gave the grand monarque
few fragments of opal and turquoise,
saying that they came from Persian
district bordering on the Caspian sea.
The woods there were full of them, he
explained, and he offered to divide
with France-had planted the French
flag there already, as it were!
At last the day came for the formal
presentation of the shah's gifts, and
on that morning early Ria Bey melted
into space. He was never seen or
heard of again. He had, as some one
said, gone glimmering through the

A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.

An old time story of the fine points
Of law and equity which arose In car
rying out an amicable contract is told
in the Philadelphia Record. There
were four brothers who had inherited
storage warehouse from their father
He had divided the property equally
among them.
Among the appurtenances was a cat
"a fine animal, excellent for mousing.
This. too. was divided, the eldest
brother owning the right front quar-,
ter, the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters.
Nows unfortunately, the cat in one
Of its nocturnal prowlss injured the
right front paw, and the eldest
brother attended to that portion of his
property by binding the injured mem
Der with a creased rag.
The cat thankful for this relief to
its sufferings, went to sleep content
edly before the fire, but in the midst
of its slumbers a falling coal ignited
the rag. and the animal. bowling with
agony dashed through the warehouse
and, coming in contact with some com
bustibles, set the building on fire.
When the loss came to be figured
out the three younger brothers wished
to throw it all upon the eldest on the
ground that had he not tied up his
part of the cat with the inflammable
rag the building would not have been
destroyed.
He, on the contrary, contended that
had the cat only been possessed of the
front right paw-his property-it
would have stood srill and burned to
death. 1t was the three other paws
that caused the damage.
The brothers argued the case until
they died, but they never reached an
agreement.

Spread and Sharp Lowering OF
Values Is Result-Sheep Market
Good

Portland Union Stockyards, Stock
dale, Jan. 26.-Hog market is show
ing a further loss of about 25c today.
This decline Is due directly to the
sharply lower values in the east which
have affected indirectly the Portland
market because values here are based
spon what hogs can be bought for in
the middle west plus the freight and
handling charges in shipments to the
northwest
Market for cattle is not quite so
good and all grades are practically 25c
lower than formerly. Buyers while
making much effort to beat down prl-
ses, are nevertheless bearish In their
views because of the smaller wants.
Everyone seems to be afraid of the
future, although Just what could pos
ably seriously affect the local price
of cattle when such a shortage exists,
the trade is unable to explain clearly.
Notwithstanding this, however, the
general market for cattle Is tempo
rarily depressed.
Market for sheep is generally good
bat values generally are showing no
change.
