Too long have we been | afflicted with the loathsome disease | of yellow journalism, poisoning the | minds of our children and breeding crime in the hearts of the people. The time has come when the discus- sion of public questions by a free vress should be limited—when it shall no longer be permitted to de- fame innocent public men without ceuse.

READS MISS FERGUSON’S POEM. Rev. A. C. Bane Says Attack on the President Is Treason. Impressive memorial services were held in the California-street Methodist Episco- pal Church in honor of President McKin- ley last evening. It was in this sanctuary that the President delivered his last pub- B 35l lic address while in this city in May last, and in front of the pulpit in which he stood at the time rested a life-size por- trait of the dead executive with the na- tional flag for a background, and adorned with wreaths of evergreen. The cholr rafl- ing was partially hidden by a flag artistic- aliy draped in mourning cloth. he programme included the singing of | the President’s faverite hymns, thg rgad-! ing of poems and music by the church band. 7The address made by the President to the members of the church on his ap- Miss Annie | The poem “Death Made Him a | Y was read by Miss Goodrich, and | Hill. sang an original memorial | mn. The Rev. A. C. Bane, the pastor, then delivered the memorial addres text was based on 2 Samuel, are the mighty fallen. er referring to the visit of Presiden McKinley to the church and the love the congregation bore him, the speaker re- hearsed the main incidénts that followed the great tragedy. He then resumed: The death of this great man wi sublime example; men will be better citizens, because of the &poticss political life he. led. We will train up a citizenship that will make the growth of anarchy in our midst impossible The day will come when we. will more gecurely guard the gates to American citizenship. T belleve the Amerlean people have arisen to the necessity of crushing the head of anarchy which, to our shame be it sald, -exists among us. 1 believe laws will be passed as a result of this tragedy which will limit the freedom of speech. Men must temper their freedom o) speech with wisdom and justice and truth. T believe a law will be passed making a threat against the President treason punishable with death, and certainly an assauit upon the chief magistrate should be treason punishable with death. The lives and characters of our Presi- ;1::\((«: must be better protected than in the past. The Rev.

Rev. F. B. Cherlngtoz; Says Its Asy- lum Here Is Destroyed . The Rev. F. B.

This act has forced the lssue upon the nations and it is doomed, We had | flattered ourselves that our free Government | could not be the object of its hatred.

The assassination of our President roused the na. tions &s that of no King, Emperor or Czar | could have done. The shot fired in the Pan. American Fair was fired in the presence of the nations there and has touched all nations more closely than otherwise could have been pos- sible. The effect will be to promote interna- tional co-operation against anarchism. The act has caused many who were unconsciously drift. | ing toward anarchism in thought and feeling | to halt and more carefully examine the lines of_ their thinking. The nation has been roused to a sense of the abuses of free speech and free press as never before. Yellow journalism has recelved & check that ought to most wholesome.

Remnants of Mountain Goats Frozen in an Alaskan Glacier. Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOU , Sept. 22.—Dawson papers received here to-day contain ac- counts of an adventurous trip into the ex- treme northern part of the Northwest | Territory, between eleven and twelve hun- dred miles from Dawson. Henry W. Bracken, an American scientific man, who | has been in the north several years, made | the trip accompanied by a couple of trap- | pers, who expected to secure silver fox | and other precious skins. When near_the top of one of the high- est of the Romanzolof Mountains the bones of two mastodons weré found, most | of them still shredded in ice, while others | were imbedded in the snow, where they | had probably been lying for hundreds of | vea Farther up, at an altitude of 7500 | feet, were scores of skeletons of moun- tain goats frozen solid in the top ice of the glacier. Bracken says that the only explanation is that these bodies were of goats which were frozem stiff as they huddled to- gether, probably in some awful storm. In the process of seasons they were shroud- | ed with ice and finally came to be part and parcel of the glacier itself. In many places the bodies had been dug out by | bears and the flesh which was in appar- | ently good state of preservation had been eaten by them. While the travelers were in this district in the middle of July a heavy fall of over a foot of snow occurred, with a blizzard | accompanying it, and they were compell- | ed through lack of provisions to leave again for the south. @ irsibeirrimieieiriedeiemieieiepefeieieil @ INDIANS KILL FAMOUS CHIEF Riot on the Colville Re- serve Ends in a Tragedy. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Sept. 22—Chief Antoine of the Colville Indians was killed Thursday night by some bad ians who resented his attempt to prevenit them from becom- ing intoxicated. Indlans to the number of nearly 200 had gone to the western part of the reservation to hold their fall horse- races. No liquor was taken along, and the word of Chief Antolne and other heads of the tribe had been given that none should be procured. This programme was upset the follow- ing day, when a crowd of Indian hop- pickers arrived with plenty of money and | some whisky. When their bottles were exhausted they sent to a neighboring min- ing camp for more. The majority of the Indians then proceedéd to drink without limit. Quarrels ensued, and in one of them Chief Antoine was stabbed to death. Oth- er Indians wera wounded, and reports from Chesaw say that one or two of them are likely to die. Antoine was a famous Indian and one of the most respected redmen on the Col- ville reserve. He was thrifty, possessing farms, horses and cattle. —————— SAYS NEIGHBOR RAN AWAY WITH HIS WIFE Rancher of Olema Visits San Rafael to Get Warrants for Arrests.

He failed to cross the river, but the scouts lost heavily. Lieu- tenant Colonel Murray and Captain Mur- ray, his adjutant, were killed. I deeply regret the loss of Colonel Murray, who throughout the war had led Lovatt's scouts with great gallantry. “Under cover of darkness the Boers managed to carry off a gun. They were promptly followed up and the gun was recovered in a smart engagement, in which Kritzinger lost two killed and | twenty taken prisoners.” Lord Kitchener also reports that the British captured by the Boers in the am- bush near Scheepers Nek on September 17 have been released and that the British casualties in_the recent Vlakfontein en- gagement, when the Boers captured a company ‘of mounted infantry and two guns, were one officer and five men killed, twenty-three men wounded and six offi- cers and 109 men taken prisoners. He an- nounced that these prisoners have since been released. He further reports the .capture of two commandos—one consisting of fifty-five men under Commandant Kochs, who were taken, together with their entire transport, ‘west of Adenburg, and the other consisting of fifty-four men, includ- ing J. P. Botha, who were taken with forty-eight wagons and their belongings forty-five miles southeast of Carolina. Interference Not Expected. In London the speech of President Lou- bet when proposing the health of the Czar and Czarina at the Juncheon which fol- lowed the review at Bethany on Saturday is in no way regarded as an indication of the intention on the part of the Russian Emperor to interfere in South African af- fairs. Even in Paris reflection seemed to haVe convinced many papers that there was liftle in the words of President Lou- bet, and that beyond a confirmation of the Franco-Russlan alliance little has been achieved by the visit of the Russian sov- ereigns. Lord Kitchener's latest dispatches, al- though they contain good news as well as bad, have done little to reassure the pub- lic concerning the state of affairs. The loss of Lieutenant Colonel Murray, a | brother of Lord Mansfield, is keenly felt. There is little doubt that further details will show that it was a serious affair. Kitchener annotnces that the Buffalo River is flooded and that there is no change in the situation in Natal. The latter fact shows that General Lyttleton has not yet succeeded in interfering with the movements of Commandant General Botha. Botha, whose capture Lord Kitchener reports, is a brother of the Boer commandant. According to the lat- est advices from Cape Colony the situa- tion there is serious owing to sympathy and ald which the Dutch are giving the Boer commandos. The British find it éif- ficult to obtain news of Boer movements. General French’s task is described as the hardest allotted him during the whole war. At Pretoria the strength of ths Bosrs in the field is now estimgted at 11,000. If these figures be correct the Boers must be constantly gaining recruits. Their sup- ply of arms and ammunition seems to be inexhaustible. Dutch Rising Threatens. In Boer circles in Holland it is asserted that everything is prepared for a Durch rising in both Cape Colony and Natal. A most alarmist letter from Cape Town i is published to-day by the Daily Express.
