A SOFT ANSWER
Does Not Always Turn Away
Wrath.
It Failed in Indian Commis
sioner Morgan's Case.
His Spite Against the Catholic Mis
sions Unappeased.
Friendly Letter* from Cardinal Gibbons
anal Father Chappelle Replied to
In a Discourteous and
Caustic Manner.
Associated Press Dispatches.
Washington, July 18.—In a letter to
Father Chappelle, vice president of the
bureau of Catholic Indian missions,
giving the reasons which influenced his
action in no longer making contracts
with that bureau, Commissioner Morgan
says:
"On entering upon my present duties
I expressed my preference for the gov
ernment rather than for tbe contract
system, as being more in harmony with
tlie American idea of education in pub
lic schools. I at the same time stated
that schools maintained by tbe govern
ment for tbe education of tbe Indians,
should be strictly non-sectarian and non
partisan ; and further, that the appro
priation of public funds to sectarian
schools, in my opinion, is contrary to
tbe spirit, if not the letter of tbe
constiution, and opposed to public
policy. My position on this question
waa violently assailed by your bureau ;
false charges were preferred against me,
and most determined, but futile efforts,
were made to prevent my confirmation,
and to secure my displacement. Those
yon employ in the field, and others, in
stigated apparently by tbe attitude of
tbe bureau, bave endeavored directly or
indirectly, to hinder the efforts of the
government in its beneficient education
and civilizing of the Indian through its
own appropriate means. Influences
emanating from your bureau have been
in some respects, at least hurtful, and it
is certainly not its fault that the govern
ment schools have not been crippled ,'or
even destroyed. While drawing hun
dreds of thousands of dollars of govern
ment funds to build up and sustain mis
sion schools under your charge, your
bureau has thrown the whole weight of
its influence against the government,
npon whose bounty it has subsisted.
Farther correspondence was made
pnblic this afternoon. Under date of
July Bth, Father Chappelle replied to
Morgan asserting that each and every
member of the bureau has declared that
be has no knowledge of any kind rela
tive to the newspaper articles reflecting
on tbe commissioner. One of these
articles was later discussed in the
presence of Mr. Gorman, an employee
of the bnreau, and the person alleged to
bave inspired it, and the conclusion was
reached that no member or employee of
of the bureau had a right to make such
an assault upon the Indian office, or any
other pnblic office. Gorman thereupon
resigned his position in the bureau.
In conclusion, Father Chappelli says
tbe policy of congress, as understood by
the bureau, is in perfect harmony with
the objects of the bureau, towit: To
aid in perfecting the system of educa
tion among the Indians inaugurated by
President Grant when he established
bis celebrated peace policy.
The commissioner has also received
a letter from Cardinal Gibbons, dated
at Cape May, in which he expressess re
gret at the appearance of the newspaper
article referred to. He says he is
very much apposed to personal
attacks of this kind. Referring
to Commissioner Morgan's announced
determination to sever the 'elations be
tween the Indian office and the bureau,
the cardinal submits that this is a very
grave step and one he fears will be
fraught with much embarrassment and
productive of discord and trouble. The
cardinal trusts the commissioner will
reconsider the matter and conclude to
continue the relations existing with the
bnreau.
On July 15th the commissioner sent
another letter to Father Chappelle, in
which he says he sees no reason for any
modification of his act. He adds:
"Your assurance that the efforts of
your bureau in the future will be, as in
the past they have been, to cordially co
operate in harmony in every proper
manner with the Indian office,
is a little too suggestive, and
promises anything but friendly
relations. If I had read Director Ste
phens' offensive official letter of April
29th, prior to my interview with you,
that interview, notwithstanding 'my
sincere desire for friendly co-operation
with your bureau, would never have
been sought; and while that letter re
mains on file in this office, without an
apology, and Stephens remains officially
connected with your bureau, any official
relations between it and this office will
be by courtesy and not by right. I have
already signed several contracts with
Catholic schools which are apparently
glad to enter into the new order of
things."
In replying to the letter from Cardi
nal Gibbons, the commissioner says
brief and summary statements of his
two letters to the bureau can give but a
faint idea of tbe enormity of the offenses
of tbe bnreau, continued through nearly
two years; offenses which bave been
patiently endured until forbearance is
no longer a virtue. The commissioner
says that tbe position that the
bureau is not to be held
responsible for tbe action its
employe, or employes or attaches
unless those actions are officially
indorsed by it, is not considered
tenable by this office; and the position
of the bureau in declaring
that private grievances of officials
should not in any case be allowed to
stand in the way of the due administra
tion of the public business intrusted to
their charge, will hardly stand the test
of reason. The assaults upon his personal
character could hardly have been pleas
ing, bat when they went forth under
tbe sanction of a great bureau styling
itself Christian, some of them embodied
ia an official communication to
tbe United States senate, they cannot be
regarded merely trifling personalities.
Many of them were laid before the presi
dent" by a committee of bishops, and
made the basis of a demand for tbe re
moval of tbe commissioner of Indian
affairs.
The commissioner insists that be has
been maliciously misrepresented and
misunderstood. He had not now and
sever had tbe slightest antipathy
towards Catholics, and bis attitude
toward tbe Catholic contract schools, he
insists, is sufficiently evidenced by the
THE LOS" ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1891.
largely increased amounts conceded
for the next year. He is prepared,
he says, as {a government official, to
submit his administration of office to
the closest scrutiny, and endured with
equanimity the misrepresentations in
separable from public life, but
he cannot be expected to maintain har
monious relations with a bureau sub
sisting upon the bounty of the govern
ment, whose work it antagonizes and
misrepresents, and whose officers it de
fames.
FOULLY lIUROBRED.
A Rejected Suitor Shoots an Estimable
Young Lady.
Hanover, July 18. —As Miss Christie
Warden, accompanied by her mother
and her sister Fannie, and Louise
Goodell were returning to their home
one mile from the village, at a late hour
last night, Frank Almy shot and killed
Christie. Almy fled. Miss Warden
was the daughter of a wealthy farmer,
and was a beautiful and estimable young
woman. Almy was formerly an em
ploye of her father, and his attention to
Christie had been repulsed. The father
of the murdered girl offers a reward of
$500 for the capture of the murderer.
Murder and Suicide.
Carthage, Mo., July 18. —Last night
at 11 o'clock cries were heard issuing
from a house occupied by Mrs. Smith.
An investigation disclosed the dead
bodies of the woman and a farmer
named Jeff Gilbert lying side by side on
a bed. In the head of each was a bullet
hole. It is supposed that Gilbert first
shot the woman and then himself.
A Wrecked Concern.
Newburyport, July 18 —The Boston
Boot and Shoe company has assigned.
The company controls five retail stores
located in this state and Connecticut.
Manager Carll, who had entire control
of the stores, has disappeared. All
sorts of ugly rumors are prevalent about
him. The firm has no definite idea of
the condition of its affairs.
It costs more to make the Royal Bak

pure, but it is more wholesome and goes
further than any other.
FRENCH EXTREMISTS
KEEP UP THE ALSACE-LORRAINE
PASSPORT AGITATION.
They are not Satisfied With the Deputies'
Action in Shelving M. Laur's Motion-
Minister of War De Freycinet Threat
ens to Resign.
Paris, July 18.—The vote of the
chamber of deputies yesterday, express
ing confidence in the government, has
not satisfied the extremists, who are
continuing agitation in regard to the
Alsace-Lorraine passport regulations,
and who have not ceased their attempts
♦o incit feelings against the govern
ment. The extremist party has resolved
to call a public meeting to protest
against what they term the treachery
and cowardice of the government.
The Chamber of deputies to-day pass
ed the entire new tariff measure.
The chamber rejected the proposal
made by De Freycinet, president of the
council and minister of war, to grant
$120,000 to the Ecole Polytechnique. As
a result, the session of the chamber sus
pended and a cabinet council was sum
moned to consider the situation. It was
reported that De Freycinet had decided
to tender his resignation. But the cabi
net ministers having represented to De
Freycinet that the rejection by the
chamber of the credit asked by them for
the Ecole polytechnique, did not imply
want of confidence in the government,
he decided not to resign.

London, July 18.—The feature of the
congregational council this week was
the speech of Rev. Walker, of Mel

palianism than toward Unitarianism.
The council decided that Congregational
ministers Bhould not exchange pulpits

Abstinence society. During tbe course
of the meal a number of temperance
speeches were made. This afternoon
the delegates attended a garden party at
Woodford.
Prof. W. B. Rising, of the State Uni

fourth district, has taken another turn
at the supreme court. Yesterday he
placed a warrant in the hands of the
coroner of Harper county, for the arrest
of the Bheriff who had obeyed the orders
of tbe supreme court instead of his own.
The bench and bar are awaiting with
breathless anxiety the next move of the
jurist who preside over the Twenty
fourth district and laughs at the pluto
cratic judges in Topeka who think they
can dictate to him because they are
called supreme judges. This morning
the attorneys for Burr, the sheriff, sub
mitted to the supreme court the neceß
sary papers for having McKay arrested
for contempt of court. Judge Valentine
is the only judge now in the city. The
case will become historic.
BRITISH FAILURES.
The Bank of the River Plata Suspends.
Corn Factors Fall.
London, July 18. —The English Bank
of the River Plata (limited), of which
Mr. Smithers is managing director, has
suspended payment. The capital of
the bank is $7,000,000. The institution
has a reserve of $2,100,000. The cause
of the suspension is the difficulty and
impossibility of collecting debts due it
in the Argentine Republic, in conse
quence of the moratorium decree re
cently issued by the Argentine Repub
lic. The directors of the bank have
issued an official statement announcing
that the bank will go into liquidation.
The reported failure of Gripper &
Sons, corn factors of this city, is con
firmed. Their liabilities are estimated
at $250,000. A receiver has been ap
pointed to wind up the business.
Oregon Crops.
Portland, Ore., July 18. —A bulletin
of the Oregon weather bureau says:
Fall wheat is being cut in many sections
of Western Oregon, and the yield is
heavier than anticipated. Careful esti
mates show at least 3,000,000 bushels of
wheat for export in Oregon and Wash
ington. The total yield will be increased
2,000,000 bushels. The Codlin moth has
made its appearance. Hops are doing
fairly well. The output of peaches will
be greater than last year. Apples are
not up to the average. Prunes and
pears are an average crop.
A Great Grass Fire.
Marvsville, Cal., July 18.—The great
est fire known in the foothills of Yuba
county has been raging since last Thurs
day, and at last accounts this afternoon
was not under control. It started near
a mining camp on the Yuba river, near
the Oregon house, eighteen miles from
here, and up to the present time has
burned over 4000 acres of land—all tim
ber. There is but one cabin reported
burned, and that was untenanted.
A New Gold Field.
Cabson, Nev., July 18.—Small parties
are being made up in Carson to go to
the Pine Nut region, five miles from
this city, where recent gold discoveries
have been made. Two men arrived here
yesterday with short sacks containing
over $400 worth of decomposed quartz,
in which tbe gold appeared in large
flakes. Already two wagon loads have
left. More go tomorrow.
A Steamer Attached.
Portland, Ore., July 18.— J. F. Stef
fen yesterday brought suit against tbe
steamer Victorian, owned by tbe Union
Pacific, to recover the sum of $44,000,

several hours pending the procurement
of bail.

Liverpool, July 18.—A train passing
along a railroad running near the Man
chester ship canal, fell over an embank
ment near this city, killing eleven men
working underneath. In addition to the

dent was due to the mistake of a switch
man, a boy seventeen years of age. He
has been arrested, charged with man
slaughter.
Another Pioneer Gone.

steamer Dresden, from Bremen for Balti
more with 800 emigrants aboard, col
lided with the brigantine Annie Harris
off Start Point this morning. The
Annie Harris sank immediately and
four of her crew were drowned. An

that the injury she sustained was not
sufficient to prevent her from pro
ceeding.
Yard's Case Still Fending.
Philadelphia, July 18. —The case of
Yard, charged with contempt of court
in not appearing before the city coun
cil's committee of investigation, was

AN OUTRAGE.
THE COURTS BEING- USED BY
CHINESE SLAVERS.
Pretty Mcc Young Arrested on the Eve of
Her Wedding—A Case Which Seems to
Call for st.orn Interference.
Mcc Young was yesterday arraigned
before Justice Owens on a charge of
petty larceny, and her trial was set for
July 22d. The defendant is a very pre
possessing young Chinese girl, and from
all appearances is being made the victim
of a conspiracy formed for the purpose
of abducting her and placing her in one
of the dens of vice in this city. In the
latter part of June, a Chinaman named
Ah Sing, through Attorney Grant, ob
tained a warrant for tbe arrest of Mcc
Young for stealing a siik coat valued at
$20. The warrant was never served till
Friday, when Sing went to Deputy
Constable Harry Johnston and
asked him to accompany him to San
Diego and arrest Young.
Johnston was under the impression
that the accused was a man, ana agreed
to go along. On arriving at San Diego,
the Chinaman put the officer in a car
riage, drove him a long distance, and
and finally, pulling up at Long's house,
pointed the girl out. Johnston was
considerably surprised when he saw
that the defendant was a girl, and at
first was unwilling to make the arrest,
but Ling insisted and Young was taken
iuto custody. She strenuously main
tained her innocence when the warrant
was read and begged the officer not to
take her away, as she was to be married
that very night.
Johnson brought the girl to this city
yesterday. On the trip up a friend
accompanied Young, but he had no
sooner arrived in this city than he also
was arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Sing. The lover of the girl was likewise
taken into custody yesterday at San
Diego on another warrant sworn out by
Ling or his accomplices.
When Young was taken into court
yesterday, Ling came up smiling, and
wanted to put up the $100 bail required
and take her away, but Judge Owens
blocked his little scheme and frustrated
the whole plan by turning the girl over
to Mrs. Watson until the trial.
AN EXCITING CHASE.
A Husband Appeals to the Sheriff for
Protection.
The sight of a man running excitedly
up Commercial street towards Main,
closely followed by a respectably dressed
woman, who was making the best time
possible, was sufficient to draw a large
crowd to the spot at about noon yester
day. The chase was suddenly termin
ated at the corner of Requena and Main
streets by the woman falling prone upon
the sidewalk, but the man continued
his hot pace till he reached the sheriff's
office in the old courthouse, when he
rushed in and demanded protection.
The simple explanation of this episode
is that Mrs. Francisco Yndart was en
deavoring to get her husband, who is
better known as Pancho Coronel, to
accompany her to San Buenventura,
and had succeeded in getting him as
far as the depot, at the corner of Com
mercial and Alameda streets, when he
broke and ran. The couple have been
married about eight years, but
"Pancho" has not been living with his
wife for some years past. Of late he
has been up in Washington territory,
but a few months ago he returned to
this city, and has since studiously avoid
ed Mrs. Yndort. Mrs. Ydort decided
to get him away from the city if possi
ble. With this object in view she asked
him to accompany her and her mother
to the Commercial street station and
bid them good bye, as they were going
to Ventura. Yndort complied, and
when he arrived at the station, Mrs.
Yndort grasped him by the coat collar
and said, "You must come along too."
Yndort believing an attact was to be
made to carry him off, broke and ran.
Mrs. Yndort followed, but fainted on
tbe way and had to be carried into a
store aud revived. The affair was after
wards patched up amicably at the sher
iffs office.
Broken Bones.
Sosora, Cal., July 18. —Joe Hampton
was buried beneath caving earth at a
mine on Jackson hill, yesterday after
noon, and when rescued three hours
later by a passer-by was found to have
. every rib, his left collar bone and his
breast bone broken,besides receiving in
ternal injuries. There is little hope of
his recovery.

Why Not Accord Them Belligerent
Rights?
Editors Herald : The genius of the
Herald for being right, and of holding
up the mirror to enlightened sentiment
upon public matterp, is not often more
conspicuously shown than in its com
mentaries upon the attitude of the gov
ernment of the United States towards
the strife in Chile.
With congress arrayed against the
president, the question of determining
which really represents the government
of Chile would present to any but the
giant minds that at present direct tbe
policy of this nation, some doubt and
perplexity; and the task of deciding in
favor of the latter would not seem to be
made easier by the fact that the- people
of Chile who are free to elect espouse
the cause of congress; but the question
so difficult to others is so easy to the
aforesaid giant minds as not even to
suggest the according of belligerent
rights to the so-called insurgents, even
by way of compromise of judgment.
At what point in its progress the
struggle of a free people to put down a
usurper, plunderer and murderer, who
has overturned the form and substance
of government, becomes something more
than an insurrection, and its partici
pants become entitled to recogni
tion as belligerents, would seem
to be a pertinent question, but one
which our department of state, absorbed
in negotiating "reciprocity" treaties with
Kamtchatkaandthe Fiji islands finds no
disposition to determine. The forces of
Balmaceda are made up of a large part of
the regular army—ever the adherents oi
tyrants—political sycophants whose
fortunes depend upon the dictator, and
conscripts compelled to fight for a cause
with which they feel no sympathy. Op
posed to these are the navy, in chief
part; and those citizens who constitute
the wealth, intelligence, birth and
patriotism of Chile; and these have for
many months more than held their own,
capturing forts and cities, extending
their authority over large portions of
the country and performing deeds of
arms on land and.'seathat have challeng
ed the admiration of all who appreciate
valor.
Is it strange that the sympathy of the
American people, never roused for an
unjust cause, should go out to these
patriots struggling to preserve in their
country the institution of popular gov
ernment, the establishment of which
in ours has enscribed so many death
less names upon the pages of history ?
Is it not strange that the government at
Washington should be so out ,' r accord
with general public ser.timentV Ah,
pity 'tis, 'tis true.
How humiliating to those of us who
have been taught to believe that it is
one of the missions of our republic to
guaranty, so far at least as moral
support and encouragement may go,
form and substance ot Republican gov
ernment on thiß continent, is the spec
tacle of the administration, not merely
withholding countenance from those
who strive against usurpation, but
actually joined with the tyrant in
leagued oppression. To what base pur
pose are we come! Our government
given up to reciprocity in bird's eggs,
tonga beans and shark-tooth collars,
while human sympathy is "fled to
brutish beasts."
Maynard F. Stiles,
July 18th.
Some Claims of Mr. Mortimer.
Editors Herald: I have read the
editorial in your issue of today's date
entitled Vice Consul Mortimer Again to
the Fore. You have been misinformed
as to the status of the L. J. Rose com
pany and my connection with it; and as
to my advice to prospective English set
tlers in the Antelope valley. The facts
are briefly as follows: In 1885, at the
request of Mr. Rose, I made a report
and valuation of his property, which he
was then offering to sell for $700,000,
and I stated in that report that the
property was worth that amount. The
promoters in London floated the com
pany at $1,750,000, of which fact I was
not aware until after the transaction had
been closed. The agent for the English
purchasers asked me to act as attorney
for the company some months before the
sale was completed and I refused to do
bo on tbe ground that I was being paid
by Mr. Rose for my report. Some time
after the sale was completed I found
that the property was costing the Eng
lish shareholders $1,750,000, and
I then placed the facts before
tbe shareholders. Tbe result has been
that the promoters have given up their
stock, and tbe property stands the
shareholders but a little more than the
amount Mr. Rose asked ($700,000.) At
this figure the shareholders will recover
the amount invested with interest. In
regard to your statements about Ante
lope valley lands, I advised English
people not to purchase land in that val
ley without seeing it. And, notwith
standing your expression of opinion
that this advice had resulted in a loss to
persons who would otherwise have in
vested there, of 75 per cent, perannum,
I still think the advice was good.
Yours, etc., C. White Mortimer.
