The Wound Not Dangsrous-His AS
ssilant a Fanatic.
WASHINGTON. May 49, The Russian
legation here received a cablegram this
incoming from st. Petersburg which con-
tains information to the effect that no bad
results are apprehended from the effect OF
the saber cut received by the czarowitz
yesterday.
Dispatches from Paris and st. Petersburg
say that the attack upon the Czarowitz
was made by a policeman belonging
to the Samunai sect. noted for
their fanatical hostility to foreigners
He only struck one blow at the Czarowitz
with his sword when he was knocked down
by Prince George Of Greece with heavy
walking stick and was then secured. The
thickness OF the sun helmet worn by the
Czarowitz saved him from serious injury
and he only suffered a cut two or three
inches in length on his scalp.
WHAT MAY HAVE PROMPTED 1T.
LONDON. May 14.-AH accounts of the
attempt TO take the life of the czarowitz at
Otsu, Japan, agree In expressing the belief
that the act was due TO religious fanaticism {;
that 1t was either Buddhist protest against
the increase Of Russian missions, or that the
czarowitz omitted the observance of a Gus
tomary rule OF etiquette while visiting the
temples, and 80 made himself an object Of
attack.

Killed by the Greeks.
CORFU, May 13-The anti-Hebrew ex-
citsment, which has existed here for some
time past, aud which caused an outbreak
about April "a, when the body Of a child
who had been murdered was found in the
Hebrew quarter, is bee ming more ven-
omous. The Greeks then claimed that the
Hebrews had murdered the christian girl
for the Feast of the Passover, and the He
brews retorted by declaring that the Greeks
had murdered her as an excuse for rioting
and plunder. Though the body was eventu-
ally identified as that of the child OF a
prominent Hebrew the Greeks broke into
the Hebrew quarter and built bonfire in
the square and declared that the Hebrews
should be burned. After a number of
Hebrews had been beaten aud otherwise in
Jured the rioters were dispersed by troops
RIoTING RENEWED.
The excitement caused by this incident
has never died out, and yesterday rioting
was resumed. Two Hebrews were killed
and q number we're injured. Troops again
dispersed the rioters aud now surround the
Hebrew quarters. The Hebrews are for-
bidden TO pass outside OF the Gordon of
troops, and all stores kept by Hebrews are
closed. The prefect Of Corfu has been sum-
moned TO Athens, in order to explain the
situation fully to the government A de-
tachment Of troops under command OF a
major has been sent here from Athens 20
restore order.
The desperate condition OF the Jews Of
Corfu and Zante is the result of hunger and
illness and the impossibility Of obtaining
physicians. Further violence is daily
feared. Six thousand Hebrews would
gladly leave the islands If provided with

His Illness Gives Him Good Chance
to Dodge Harrlson.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-If Secretary
Blaine does not come to see the President
tho President must go to see Secretary
Blaine. In the first place there are tho
Bering sea question, toe ItAlirn question
and the chihan question, besides the
reciprocity agreements with Spain, Vene-
zuela and Saudomingo. In the second
place there Is the Presidents desire to
have Secretary Blaine declare himself on
the political question for 1892. 1t is still
expected here that Secretary Blaine will
return before going to Bar Harbor, unless
the weather changes and becomes very hot.
But whatever Secretary Blaine may do, it
seems certain that President Harrison must
seek conference with him.
MAY RESIGN.
Some of President Harrlson's friends
are afraid that Secretary Blaine may avail
himself OF his physioians prescription of
rest to resign from the cabinet He could
say that having oversaxed bis strength in
the attempt to free our foreign trade and in
the efforts to preserve our national honor,
he found 1t imperatively necessary to
take six months absolute rest, and, there
fore, was obliged reluctantly TO resign
duties to which he could no longer give ade-
quate attention. They see that he has
already gotten lasting credit for his reoiproc-
ity policy, and think that he may conclude
that he has little more to gain
by staying Ia the state de-
partment By getting out now he would
avoid all disagreeable scenes and embar-
RAISING explanations with President Harri-
son, and would be perfectly free to pros
mote his ambition for the presidency. After
his six months rest, or during the latter
part OF IL, he could visit the principal
cities of the country in response to invita-
tions, which are just waiting for encour-
egement from him, and by May or June
next be ready 20 meet President Harrison
in the convention.
BLAINE RESTING EASILY.
NEW York, May 13. 13.-Secretary Blaine

cumstances it would be judicious for

AIR GUNS.
Dear Mayor and City Council.


want to congratulate you on your as
ton regarding the chickens and BOYS
bean snappers. But it seems that your
honorable BODY are not posted on the kind
OF implements the boys carry They have
an air-gun. which shoots shot and throws
them with sufficient force to kill birds,
and great many of the boys have become
experts and every morning early they are
to be seen on the streets shooting birds
and they kill great many of these little
songsters. But this cruel, heartless bar
barism is not the least OF their oifenses.
These same boys, for I will not make
single exception. post themselves at some
convenient place, and when ladies drive
along IN carriages these boys shoot the
horse, or soma unsophistieated farmer
comes along, not only does his horses but
he and his dog are made to suffer. And
so, too, are small children, little girls aad
misses, while playing or suroiiing along
streets, treated in the same manner.
The boys all do these things. but Of course
the parents of these boys willsay their boys
don't l want to say that there is not
boy on the townsite that owns one OF these
guns but what is guilty of every offense
mentioned in addition to many more.
They not only do this, but they get to-
gether and-boast Of their cruelties-and
say that the city council better on and not
pass any more beau snapper ordinances
on them. Please pass an ordinance that
will take in the air gun that will give the
policemen power to take in the boys who
violate the ordinances, and protect the
mothers driving with their children and
the birds, and even the farmers dog.

K. OF p. MASS MEETING.

A mass meeting was held last night by
the members of both lodges Of the knights
of Pythias in this city. The meeting was
largely attended and considerable en-
thusiasm manifested by every one pres
ent. Preparations have been fully az
ranged to receive the vast number OF
visitors who will be present in this city
next week. In the meeting it was the
unanimous opinion of every one present
that the business men of the city decorate
their places Of business in a tasty and
proper manner. The business men and
citizens have not the remotest idea of the
enormous expense that attends an under
taking such as the lodges of this city
have undertaken and now accomplishing.
The business men cannot allow to leave q
stone unturned to take their part in this
matter financially and socially. The mem
beers of both lodges have contributed hand
somely to meet the expenses.
A meeting such as this is of no benefit to
the members of the lodges who are not
merchants, financially, but will be to those
who are in business regardless of the eX-
tent of the same.
The following resolutions were adopted
unanimously by the meeting at its close:
Resolved. That the hearty thanks of this
mass meeting be extended to the citizens
OF Wichita for their manifest interest in
the Grand Lodge entertainment in this
city next week, and that general request
be hereby extended o every citizen to
receive the visitor with hospitality and
generosity and we ask them to decorate
their places of business in proper and
tasty manner.

their last resting place, IN the cemetery at
Clearwater, Kan, by a large concourse of
sorrowing friends and neighbors who had
assembled at the family residence to offer
consolation to the stricken family, and to
pay the last tribute of respect to her whose
late frlndship they so much cherished.
The deceased was born in a rural district
near Hamdon, Ninton county, Ohio, jan

was married to Henry Z. Teachount her
late husband. Her maiden name was
Catherine Bull, sister of Charles Bull of
this place. She came with her husband to

the farm on which she died.
In her death the family sustain an
irreparable loss. the husband a loving and
faithful wife, the five children. two of
whom are grown, a mother with all the
love fond mothers heart could beStow
Many sad days will come and go ere the
bereaved family will cease to look in sad
ness at a fond mothers vacant chair.
Often will they call up the fond recollec-
lions of loving mother who so recently
greeted them with her smiles and minis
tered TO their wants with loving heart and
willing hands.
How sad indeed to contemplate home
without a mother" X. j. HUKLE.
