dir a Policeman.

a dozjn well mounted Umatilla In
dians are scouring the Blue mountains
to capture Black Horn of the Umatilla

chief of the Indian police. The lat
ter, about midnight, was attempting
to arrest Black Horn and the Yakima
Irdian for being drunk and disorder
ly, when Black Horn drew a pistol
and the Yakima Indian a dirk. They
rushed on Brisbow, who fired three
time3 without effect. The Yakima In
dian ran behind and struck Brisbow
in the back of the head, knocking
him insensible. Parr, another Indian,
f.red twice, but failed of his mark.

a fusillade with no better results.

sprang on their horses and left for
the Blue mountains. Black Horn,
two years ago, was accused of mur
dering Wip Sha and afterwards plac
ing his body on the railroad tracks.
JAPAN THE 0LY HITCH.
Cannot Borrow Money at 4 Per Cent for
China.
PEKIN, June 17. The foreign min
isters say that although yesterday's
meeting did not result in the settle
ment of matters, still things are work
ing most satisfactorily toward a con
clusion and that the amount of the
indemnity and the 4 per cent rate of
It terest were almost agree upon, the
only hitch being with regard to Jap
rn, which country cannot borrow
money under 5 per cent. It i3 the de-
;re of most of the ministers to ar
range this satisfactorily, as it is felt
that Japan deserves special consider
ation. The probability is that addi
tional bonds will be given sufficient to
cover the loss.
Special Commissioner Rockhill, on
behalf of the United States, has
agreed to add 5 per cent tc the tariff
riovided China would agree to the
widening and dredging of the Shan Si
?ud Pel Ho rivers and also to certain
tariff reforms.

Acuna, Santiago Palmer and Dias Na
varro paid their respects to Governor
Allen today and offered him their co
operation in whatever measures would
advance the best interests of Porto
Rico. It 's now thought that the time
has come when party bickerings should
cease and be overlooked and that all
men should unite in a common desire
to aid the government.. The commit
tee members informed Governor Allen
that they were satisfied that the inten
tions of Lhe administration had been
for the best.
Governor Allen received the visitin
cemmitteo with the usual courtesies
and expressing his pleasure at their
visit, said he never for a moment
doubted the result of the experiment,
the successful issue of which was re
tarded only by injudicious statements.
He said the future contained much
promise and that he looked and hoped
for continued improvement. He inti
mated that the island would undoubt
edly soon enjoy free trade with the
United States and that as soon as Por
to Rican and American markets were
open to each other a great era of
Porto Rican prosperity would ensue.
Today's visit of the committee of
three is the first instance wherein lead
ers of the federal party have called
upon the American governor, and it
Is taken as an indication of complete
political harmony for the future.
Yesterday's mass meeting was held
in secret. It was understood during
its session that the federal party had
resolved to support the government.
