The big affair of the World Wide
Missionary movement meetings that
have been going on in this city for
some time, VIII take. place this even
ing at 6:15 at the Masonic temple, the
programme for (which is given above.
This morning the world study Bible
class had for its subject, Aliens in
America. and thfs was in charge of DR..
Bradt and was most interesting. There
was no Bible class held this afternoon,
so that everything would be In order
for the banquet tonight.
DR.. King Last Night.
There was a packed house at the
First Presbyterian church last night
when DIR. w. H. King of Monmouth,
ILL.,, gave his splendid lecture on China,
one of the very best in the entire
course. The choir had some special
music for the occasion.
DR.. King and those who accompanied
him on his trips had the good fortune
to be in China during the period OF and
after the revolution there, and there
fore he was able to speak with author
ity on the facts leading up to the clt-
max in the affairs of China. He re-
hearsed the incidents leading up to the
revolution, told of the rule Of the Man
chu for over 400 years, of how the
Chinese were virtually in slavery to
them. He talked on the political life
of the empire and altogether gave his
hearers much information that was
new. He was introduced by DR.. G. e.
Creegan, president OF Fargo college,
who had been over much of the ground
that DR.. King had visited.
DR.. King first told of the ancient
Chinese civilization, that invented gun
powder and the mariners compass
thousands of years before Christ. He
told how this civilization had been ar
rested by the sages of China, who
wrote religions that kept the Chinese
from progress and how they marked
time for thousands of years, or until a
couple of years ago.
In a clever manner and in few words
the doctor sketched the causes that
lead up to the revolution, the principal
cause being the intense hatred of the
Chinese people for the Manchus.
Cause of Boxer Movement.
Or. King showed how the terrible
Boxer uprising, was really organized
for the purpose of wiping out the Man
chu rule, but the wise old empress, who
was one of the shrewdest rulers who
ever sat on throne, realizing the
danger, turned the movement in a very
clever manner against the foreign
devils" The well informed men of
China, thoroughly understood this and
they planned that the next time there

Under general orders a bill intro
duced this year by Lambert of Ward

orders and was recommended to pass.
Lambert in talking on his bill made a

one that would be acceptable to the
people Of the state. The house will

When Arrested
One Hurled a Huge Law Book
, at the Magistrate

London. Feb. 20.-The suffragettes
fired a large refreshment pavilion in
the Kew Botanical gardens, the
structure being destroyed. Two
women were arrested.
The young women gave the names
of Lillian Lenton and Joyce Locke,
aged %. They were caught running
away from the scene Of the fire. Each
carried a bag containing a dark
lantern, cotton soaked, in oil and a
hammer.
The magistrate refused them bail,
and told them the offense was not
political, but highly criminal Miss
Locke thereupon hurled at the
magistrate a huge law book, and then
fought desperately the wardens as
signed to remove her to her cell.

Mexico City, Feb. 20.-The fate of
Francisco /. Madero, deposed presi-
dent of Mexico is still in the bal

were made at midnight for his de-
parture with the members of his fami-
ly into exile, being suddenly halted
by mysterious orders from General
Huerta.
Sonora Madero, the presidents two
sisters and his father, waited at the
station ready to depart for Vera Cruze
and thence for Europe, but at the hour
fixed for their departure congress was
still in session discussing the situa-
tiops The party then returned to the
city.

was a revolution it would not go amiss.
DIR. Sun Vat Sen, who is 46 years Of
age, born of christian Chinese parents
in China and educated in a Chinese
university, planned systematic cam
patgn of information. His agents were
everywhere throughout the kingdom,
working with the utmost secrecy, but
with telling effectiveness to prepare for
the great revolution that was to come.
Apparent Unexpeetsdness. 4.
The marvellous thing about the revo-
luton was the apparent unexpected
ness of it. Although the entire king
dom was permeated with the reform
idea the world at large. and even the
best informed foreigners in China did
not have the least idea Of it. .. 81.
DIR. King stated that the christian
missionaries unconsciously did a great
deal to prepare China for the over
throw of the tyrannical Manchu gov
ernment. The simple teaching Of history
and geography In their schools gave
the growing Chinese an idea of modern
civilization, and showed them their own
degradation and they were not slow.
when the opportunity came, to arise
and throw off the yoke.
Little BIoodshed.
For the tremendous upheavaI in gov
ernment that was accomplished there
was very little bloodshed and a sur
prising feature was the fact that dur
ing the entire revolution, foreigners
could go wherever they pleased
throughout the kingdom, perfectly safe
and without molestation. Dr. King
himself travelled extensively through
out China while the revolution was at
it's height and the fact that he was to
visit the missionaries and was an
American was sufficient to insure him
entire anywhere.
.r Americas Opportunity.
The American opportunity in China
at the present time is wonderful. China
has an especial love for America, be-
lieves in this country's fairness and
looks to America for preachers, for
teachers and along commercial lines.
DIR. Sun Vat Sen is a christian, and so
are many of the leading men of China.
In the national assembly there are nine
christian men, members of churches.
and all of the members of the assembly
believe in christianity.
DR.. King scored the European coun-
tries which he said are hanging about
like pack of wolves, hoping for a
chance at gobbling up some OF the
Chinese territory and he stated that is
was a shame that the United States
had not yet recognized the young re-
republic.
The lecture was illustrated by some
fine stereopticon views.

None tut registered voters should
be permitted.to sign initiative cr ref

should have a precinct heading and
signatures should be taken according

to quickly check the signatures and

stands it is physically impossible for
the secretary of state to cheek the sig

BITTER ATTACK
ON MALARkEY.
BARRETT SECONDS IN BEHALF
OF EASTERN OREGON.
Macarthur Made Speaker of
the House of Representatives
Without Opposition.

Two extremes were noticeable in
organization of the Senate and House,
when the Oregon legislature convened
Monday.
Without so much as ripple to dis.
turb the smooth course of events, the
Oregon house of representatives got
into its working clothes Monday
morning by eleeting @. N. Macarthur
of Multnomah as speaker and then 60
ing Immediately into caucus to com
plete permanent organization by ap.
pointment of the necessary clerks.
The election Of Macarthur went
through like the rush of steam loco
motive. Bnt there was not the slight
est suggestion of steam roller methods,
for the simple reason that there was
nothing to steam roll. MoArthu's
election was unanimous. except for bis
own vote. which he cast FOR P. o.
Bonebrake. of Benton county.
But it was different in the senate.

by Senator George W. Joseph, one of
the new presidents colleagues from
Multnomah.
While Joseph declared that Malar-
key is progressive for office only and
asserted that he has bartered appoint
