C., Feb. 8.—The Victoria Board of Trade to-night adopted a series of vigorous resolutions, which were telegraphed | té the Federal Government, seeking the estab- | lishment of a coast guard service and many aids to navigation on the Vancouver Island coast including a wagon road as good as circumstances will permit between Bonilla Point, near Carmanah, and Bamfleld (Creek, with stations furnished with rocket and mo; tar apparatus and means of com ng 3 same at every four miles, with telephone con- nection between stations and with' two coast guards at every station. The resolutions ask that modern lifeboats be stationed at Bam- field and Clayoquot — MAYOR'S STOMACH DOES DUTY AS A BAROMETER | When Pittshurg's Executive Has Pains the Citlzens Get Out Thelr Snow Shovels.

The Mayor was complaining of pains in his alimentary reservoir to-day, and when asked to diagnose his case he said: “It is going to snow. That's what's the matter. I never fail to forecast a fall of snow when I feel like I do to- day. Just before snow falls these pains in my back and stomach make them- selves known, and they remain with me till snow begins to fall, when they disappear. I can predict snow as sure- ly as I can predict death and taxes. The pains I have to-day are forerun- ners of snow, and it will surely come, and then I will be all right again.” hether welght the weight ut two pounds. cork were short | hat the deficiency with scrap iron. —e FIND WOOLRIDGE’S BODY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—As a wedding gift for Miss Alice Roosevelt, A. Stillman of Pittshurg has purchased Fashion, one of the most valuable fe- | male Boston terriers in the Blue Rib- bon Kennels of Boston, of which Fred- erick E. Rice of this city is manager and owner. Fashion is only 9 months old, and the price, $1500, is said to be the highest vet paid for so young a terrier. As the dog weighs about fif- teer pounds, it has brought ifs owner just $100 a pound. The utmost care has been taken in the rearing of the terrier. Its food, mode of living and even clothing have been looked after with as much atten- tion as would be accorded a baby. When Fashion is delivered to the bride of the White Fouse a complete outfit will go with the dog. There will be tailor-made suits, petticoats, a set of furs and soft leather sandals. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8—Within two days Miss Alice Roosevelt will receive the much-discussed present from the members of the party which accom- panied Secretary Taft on the famous trip to the Philippines. Several meet- ings were held by members of the party, and it was finally decided to give Miss Roosevelt a pendant of aqua marine. The stone is of the clearest blue and of unusual size. Although the House of Representa- tives will not take officlal recognition of the wedding of Miss Roosevelt and Representative Longworth on Satur- day, February 17, adjournment will be taken on Friday, February 16, until the following Monday without avowing the purpose. In this manner the House will avoid establishing a precedent. Mr. Hengelmuller, the Austrian Em- bassador here and acting dean of the diplomatic corps, after a conference with officials of the Washington Gov- ernment, has advised his Government that it is the wish of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt that no official gifts shall be presented to their daughter upon the occasion of her marriage. LOCKPORT, N. Y., Feb. 8.—‘Whether or not wine is served at the wedding break- fast of Alice Roosevelt is none of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union’s business,” declared, Frances W. Gra- ham of this eity, president of the State Woman's Christian Temperance Uniof, “yes, I know that some West- tested against wine at the wedding of President Roosevelt's daughter, but I assure vou that such action was not sanctioned by the State or national or- ganization. So far as I know none of the New York State unions are con- templating such a protest. It would not think there is any possibility of such a thing occurring. The majority of the unions in the country realize the impropriety of such action. AIl of them ought to.” —_————————— SUES TO RECOVER FORTUNE LEFT BY WILL TO OTHERS Miss Daisy T. Meyer Lays Claim to the Estate of Woman Who Died in San Francisco. NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—Miss Daisy T. Meyer, claiming that the late Mrs. Emma K. Loring, who died in San Francisco in 1908, leaving an estate of $50,000, had entered into a contract with her that for certain services she would leave her her entire fortune, has entered suit in the Supreme Court for the estate.

Luz- Mira~ i cept Germany having forces PONERS HEED HINKS HEWACE Reconsider Their Assent to Germany’s Proposal for a Withdrawal of Troops ARMY MAY BE NEEDED Fanaties That Attacked the Changpu Mission Are Ad- vancing Upon Changchow: Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NG, Feb. 8—~The trend of events i China sinee the powers assented to Emperor William's proposals to with- draw their troops from that country has induced the powers to reconsider the matter. With all the Governments ex- in North China their withdrawal now is an open question. Thelr decision will depend upon the developments of the next few months. The foreign residents in China strongly oppese the withdrawal of the troops. HONGKONG, Feb. 3.—The band of rev- olutionists which invaded and destroyed the premises of a party of missionaries stationed at Changpu, near Amoy, is on its way to commit further depredations elsewhere. The number of disturbers IS net mentioned in a dispatch from Amoy, | but they are said to be well armed. The mission buildings at Changpu were looted. All of the missionaries escaped but one, Rev. Mr. Oldham, an English Presbyterian, and took refuge in the pal- ace of the local Governor. The revolutionists are now marching toward Changchow, which is the seaport of Amoy and a town of importance. The mission staff at Changpu consists of Rev. James Beattle and Mrs. Beattie, Dr. J. Howard Montgomery, H. W. Oldham and Misses Macleaghan, Leckey and Noltenfus. Changpu was occupied first by Rev. John Watson, who went to China in 18%. Oldham is a colleague of Dr. J. Howard Montgomery and the two were assisted by missionaries from Amoy, who visited Changpu as often as they could. The Presbyterian Church of Eng- land is the only foreign church to have a mission at Changpu. The Changpu mission suffered its first stroke of misfortune last April in the death of Dr. Howle, a unique person- ality with a remarkable hold on the hearts of the Chinese. The city man- darins worshiped at his coffin and he had all the honors of a public funeral. Rev. Mr. Oldham was called to Changpu at the death of Dr. Howie. BERLIN, Feb. S.—General Tehang Tcheng, the Chinese =Minister to Ger- many, in the course of an interview with the Tageblatt's correspondent on the dis- qeting rumors from China, sald that China needed reform in her head and limbs. , Europe, he said, had been sur- prised that Japan had become greater than China, whose soldiers, and especial- Iy those in the nofthern part of the em- pire, compared physically with the Prus- sian guards. Money for army and navy expenses, he sald, should not be consid- ered, as the population of 400,000,000 could easily contribute a milliard where vital interests were touched. China, the Min- ister continued, strongly wished for com- mercial dealings with foreign countries, but preferred those without Chinese col- onies. The missionaries, he added, caused hatred of foreigners by their tactless proselyting and the fighting be- tween rival creeds. The Minister was asked if the navy and army reinforcements which the United States is sending to the Philippines in the expectation of difficulties with China might rouse the Chinese dragon. He re- plied: If the American Government sends reinforce- ments, who can say it fears difficulties with China? It is all nonsense. I belleve the arm- aments are directed agamst somebody eise. I cannot express myself more definitely. ———— CHICAGO, Feb. 8.—St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church.
