KILLED WHILE HUNTING
Edward Yeatman of Washington Acct
den.ally Shot in West Virginia.
He Wns ON the Way Home and In
Pulling His Gun Over Rock
Discharged 1t.

The news reached Washington this morn
ing that Edward Clements Yeatman, the
well-known wheelman. was shot yesterday
and instantly killed while out hunting near
Charlestown, Jefferson county, w. Va.
The meager Information. received here
about the sad tragedy is to the effect that
the unfortunate young man had been on
cunning expedition all day and was on his
way home late in the afternoon when. the
accidental discharge of his gun killed him.
According to the account from this source
Yeatman was climbing over the rocks on
the side of the mountain, and in attempting
to pull his gun over the rock the weapon
was accidentally discharged.
The deceased was beyond doubt the most
popular wheelnan in this city. although he
was only about twenty-five years old. He
had made for himself a record on the b.
cycle track of which any scyclist might
justly be proud. He was the holder of the
American twenty-four hour record. which
he had held for more than year This
record he made on the Conduit road, when
he weeeled over 81 miles. Besides this, he
had participated in and won honors at races
hello both here and in the neghboring
states.
For some time he was in the bicycle bust
ness here, his store being on G street north
west between 4th and 9TH streets. Later he
went in the service of the Rambler Com
pany, ard about three months ago he went
to Charlestown, where he entered the b.
cycle establishment of Barr & Co., who
handle Rambler bicycles.
Young Yeatman had been at Charlestown
only a short time when he participated in
25-mile match road race, and won the
race. his competitor being the champion
rider of the state of West Virginia.
His Record as a WheeImnn.
Young Yeatman, as stated, was one of
the best-kncwn wheelmen in Washington
and one of the most popular. He was
son of Mr.. S. NJ. Yeatman Of the Interior
Department, and although quite young he
had been for a number of years past
prominent rider. He was a charter men,
ber Of the Columbia Cycle Club and of the
Washington Road Club, to which he still
belonged Young Yeatman had distin-
guished himself on the track. and twice
held the twenty-four-hour championship
of America. 1t was wrested from him
once by Fister. the local crack. but last
year he won 1T back again, breaking the
record with run of bit over $50 miles.
he lost it afterwards. Yeatman was for
merly in the employ of the Rambler Com
pany, but last spring he went to Charles
town, where he went into the bicycle buSi-
ness on his own account as an agent. At
the time Of his death he held the twenty
five-mile record Of West Virginia.

HOuse-Huntinx Today.
When Star reporter saw DIR. TaImage
at the hotel this afternoon the doctor said
that he had had an extremely busy day.
He said that upon his return from the
meeting Of the presbytery at Kensington,
Md, he and his daughters had begun the
search for a house.
Iney expected to continue their inyestf-
cations today and resume them again TO-
morrow, when. Dr. Talmage said he hoped
tfat this question would be settled as he
irtended to leave for home tomorrow after
noon. He has not made up his mind
whether to buy or lease a house or a suite
OF apartments. He thinks that perhaps it
would be wise to wait until he has lived here
some time before making permanent ar
rangementS.
1t might be possible, he said, that he
would at this time only secure pIaco
where he would locate his home for thia
winter. His family here would. lie said,
cons st of himself and two daughters He
was accompanied to this city by his two
married daughters, but, of course they
will not make their home here with their
father. DR.. Ta!mage has now as member,
younger children. He has son who is a
Presbyterian minister in Pittsburg
DIR. Talmage said that he expected to re-
turn to this city on the 22d of October and
that he would remove here his furniture
and all his effects for the purpose of estab-
fishing himself. He said that Washington
as city had always been very attractive
to him, and he looked forward with a good
deal of satisfaction to his work and his
life here. He stated that he had been
given a cordial reception by the people. and
that. of course, was very gratifying to him.

MADRID, October S.-Dispatcnes received
here from the City of Barcelona announce
that serious conflicts have taken place
there between the liberal and Catholic STU

The trouble, it appears, is due to the fact
that the government suspended professor
who published book which was declared
to be heretical The riots started in the
university, and finally reached the streets,
where the rioters were reinforced by
CROWDS of people. A series of fierce con-
nictS between Catholics and liberals, led
by students. during which many persons
were wounded, followed, and the disorder
vas with difficulty suppressed by the po-
Ice.

Hostility of Jnpnnesc Residents.

The Japanese in Hawaii have maintained
a hostile attitude toward the government
and are said to be growing more aggres-
sve 1t is only by the greatest :onserv-
atism and forbearance that the govern
ment avoids the issue which Japan is
awaiting.
They have carefully avoided everything
that could bring on conflict of any sort,
or give excuse for demand on the part of
Japan for indemnity to any japanese sub
jects, but it is foreseen that they cannot be
able to more than postpone the trouble.
japan with the Corinto example before her,
indicating the Quiescent attitude of this
government in the case Similar TO the CO.
rinto affair, and aware also of the hostile
attitude Of this administration toward Ha-
wall, calculates on not being interfered with
in case the excuse is offered to her to send
war vessels to take possession of the is
lands.
What Japan Intends to Do.
1t Is a diplomatic secret that it is the in
tention of Japan to do this at the earliest
opportunity. 1t is a part of the japanese
policy of acquisition, looking to the eXpan-
sion of their power and the development Of
commercial Importance among the nations,
to get possession of these islands, occupying
the position they do on the highway OF
commerce. They regard Hawaii as valu-
able strategic position for the qualification
OF their ambition to become naval and
commercial power.
What the attitude of the United States
will be under this administration is q mat
ter of doubt, but it is expected that Mr.
Cleveland will be confronted with the ques-
tiop before long. Congress has declared
that no foreign power should be permitted
TO take possession of these islands, and the
administration will probably feel bound by
this declaration to take position different
from that which 1t has heretofore held in
relation to Hawaii.
