press will send messenger TO Shimo-
noseki to express to the distinguished
statesman their regret at the unfortu-
nate occurrence.
The assassin's antecedents are I'M
known. It is believed that the wound
is not serious. Prime Minister Ito
has teIegraphed to Hiroshima asking
that DIR. Sato, the Imperial physician,
be sent to attend the Chinese commits
sioner. Every precaution has been
taken by the police ard military to
prevent any trouble. The Govern
ment profoundly regrets the affair.
LONDON, March "a. "A dispatch
from Shimonosekis states that the name
of the would be assassin is Koyama. He
is q years of age. Count Ito, Presi-
dent of the Japanese Council of Min
listers, and one of the peace commits
sioners, has visited Lii Hung Chang
and expressed to him his sympathy
and regret.
LONDON, March ga dispatch to
the Westminster Gazette says that
the Japanese Parliament has passed
resolution deploring the attempt to
assassinate Chang.
A Shimonoseki dispatch says that
Chang will refuse to cede any terri
tory to Japan, but will offer greatly
increased sum of money instead. 1t
is believed, the dispatch says, that
peace negotiations will not be success
full, there evidently being some secret
force behind China.
LONDON, March 26.-The Times has
this dispatch from Kobe: Ii Hung
Chang is making good progress toward
recovery from the effects of the bullet
wound in his face inflicted yesterday
by Koyama KOkunosuki. The wound
l.. u
toms. The wOuld-be assassin Is re-
ported to be q lunatic. He has
criminal record and has served term
OF imprisonment.
A Yokohama dispatch says: LII
Hung Chang objects to the extraction
of the bullet, which lies centimeter
under his left eye. The wound is
three centimeters deep. The Empress
of Japan has sent two nurses to at
tend him. Letters and kilograms eX-
pressing regret and sympathy are
pouring in from all directions.
New YORK, March 25.-The Her.
aid has the following from Shanghai:
Dispatches received here state that
all circles in Japan deplore the at
tempted assassination of Lii Hung
Chang as an outrage upon q guest,
especially under the circumstances of
the ViceToy of Pechili's visit. The
Emperor Immediately on hearing the
news dispatched Colonel Valakura,
his military chamberlain, to convey
his condolences to the victim Of the
fanatics shot. Surgeon-Geueral Ishi
guro and DR.. SatOu were also sent by
his majesty to attend upon the wound
ed envoy. In justice to the Japanese
it must be remembered that no hu-
man foresight could provide suffi-
cient guard against the act of des
perado.

Guilty, has recently paid several visits
to the State Department in company
with DR. GusmaD, the resident Mic
araguan Minister, it is assumed that
our own Government is fully posted in
regard to the matter.
1t cannot be denied that this new
incident, taken in connection with
the hostile attitude of Great Britain
toward Venezuela, promises to lead to
trouble of a character much E1ore seri-
Gus than the incident or the Alliance.
There are Questions of indemnity
arising in Venezuela growing out OF
claims preferred by other European
nations.
Many of the claims grow out of the
failure of these republics to meet their
obligations to foreign debtors under
the stress of hard times and the inf1u-
ence OF the world wide depression IN
trade. AS the European Governments
appear to be moving to collect these
individual debts on their own account,
it is O question which the United
States must speedily settle as to how
far it is prepared to permit this pro-
cess to 90 on. Besides. there is
rather disc greeable reflection upon
American citizens in the dfsputation
that none such shalI serve on the COM
mission to aujudge the damage.
On the whole 1t is probable that the
President will interfere to secure at
least an amelioratiOn of the terms of
the ultimation by an appeal to the
British Government, representing the
great hardship that it would work to
Nicaragua under her present depressed
condition, to prefer q demand for so
large an indemnity.

WASHINGTON, March 22.--Prelimin
aries are to be arranged for the franz
ing Of a new treaty between the
United States and Great Britain coz
corning the Behring Sea seizures.
The negotiations will be carried on
in Washington. Sir Charles Topper,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries for
Canada, and other leading statesmen
of the Dominion will come here to
co operate with Sir Julian Pauuce-
fote. the British ambassador, con-
corning the names of the treaty. The
projected treaty is rendered neces-
sary by the inaction Of Congress on
the Behripg Sea seizure claims.
Its purpose will be to create
commission to hear all the evidence
and determine the amount of indem-
nifty to be paid the seized sealers:
After being signed the treaty will
have to be submitted to the Senate
for ratification, and unless there Is
an extra session this cannot be &C
complished before next December.
Another phase of the seal question
which may come up simultaneously
with the adjustment of the claims is
the framing of a modus vivendi or
other means Of protecting the seals
In Behring Sea.

EnGLAND,s ULTIMAIUM.
Demand Upon Nicaragua for a Cash
Indemnity.


MANAGUA, (Nicaragua), March IS
The British Government, through its
Minister here, has submitted an ulti-
matum to Nicaragua. It demands
cash indemnity OF G15,000 to pay for
the expulsion of Mr.. Hatch, British
Consular Agent, during the troubles
OF last year, and also for the appoint
ment of a mission to investigate
the damages sustained by the persons
and property of British subjects who
were expelled from the Mosquito
reservation about the same time.
By the terms of the ultimatum
Great Britain is to name one of the
commissioners and Nicaragua another,
and these two are to choose a third,
who shall not be citizen of the
United States.
It was also made known that a
British warship is now on her way to
Nicaragua to enforce these demands,
which must be complied with within
seven weeks from the 25th of Febru-
airy last, the date of the ultimatum.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-It is inn
possible to learn positively whether
the State Department has been adj
vised officially of the severe demands
made upon Nicaragua by Great Brit
ain, but from the fact that General
Barrios, who was appointed y Me
aragua to endeavor to settle the diff

of Lii Hung Chang, but his condition
is favorable. He has no fever and is
suffering but little. His assai liant is
described as political bravo who
came from the crowd when the Vice
roy's palanquin was passing and fired
at the Chinese statesman. The bull
let entered the Viceroy's left cheek.
The affair has caused the greatest in
dignation here.
TOXIC, March 25.-The Emperor of
Japan has issued a decree denouncing
the assassin who shot Ii Hung Chang
in the face at ShimonOseki yesterday,
and sympathizing with the Chinese
peace envoy. The two court physi-
clans ordered to attend the Viceroy
report that the Injury is slight. The
Rokunosuki, is fanatic.

SHILOH.
A CoNUNDRUM.

Why is kiss like sewing machine:
 "Give it up?' Because it ''seams" so good!
 This is recalled by a little incident in High Rock, last week.
 A ssyoung'' bachelor got out his oxen, sled and rigging and loaded up about a dozen of the liveliest and sprightliest la- dies in Shiloh and visited the two es- teemed artists in High Rock. All of a sudden so much female beauty and at traction prompted our daring teamster to openly declare that he would 'kiss ev- cry lady in the room." We hope this taste of ssso many at once' will lead him to the altar of Hymen and to those s're- tired kisses" which make life SC pleasant We wish that the conundrum and the lines of Byron:
 q wish that all women had but one mouth: That I might kiss them all from north to
 south,"
 would persuade the timid but willing ones to appreciate the kiss vs sssewing machine,n at least.
 The girl whose hair got entangled 1T an apple tree limb by being lifted toe high by this modern Hercules in hel vaulting the rigging, reminds one of Alb selom. But she was released by willing hands and our s'young bachelor" never received better and more satisfactory pay for ssteam work'' in his life!

the guilty conduct? He referred to Kate's conduct in not seeking to cast sus- picion on others and her frank answers to the questions put to her. He saw MT Lowell smiling and said it was no matter of his that heppy peaceful home was broken as long as it was not his home.
 He took up the evidence step by step and showed how Kate's conduct through f. all had been not that of deception but of truth and closed his argument by ask ing if his honor would be willing to say she did the deed or be morally certain that she did when on the face of it the case fell so fat. He plead with his honor to dismiss the case and say she was not guilty and he would go forth knowingh he had made no mistake. When Lawyer Williams sat down it was after 5 o'clock and as it was too late to finish the arguments that day and court adjourned till Monday morning at II o'clock.

| ! :, that it had attempted to argue to his honor that if Kate was not guilty, who l is, as if it was some one's duty beside l the state to find out the guilty party. In replying to Mir Beecher he said he l was not here to find out who set the fire, but this was left for the state to do, and that beyond a reasonable doubt. He criticised MT Lowell as not safe man to have in community and then showed ! that the motto ''Falsus in uno, falsus in l omnibus" which MT Beecher had used regarding Kate was equally applicable to Mir Lowell, referring to the attempt to get her up to his Louse to be questioned by the detective and the conversation down at Kate's house. He again went over the law of probable cause and cir cumstantial evidence claiming that the ground taken in his former argument was entirely correct. He asked his honor if either MT or Mrs Lowell had any other enemies but Kate, and characterized them as very remarkable people if they had not. He then referred to how some
 
 mean enough to tell him of the cows tails being cut, of the correspondence sweetened with flowers, as he put it, of John Breslin and Mrs Lowell, and some one was also mean enough to cancel the insurance policies. He referred to the fact that they didn't like these stories re- ferred to but they should be glad of the opportunity to explain them, if they were talked of on the street. He went over Mrs Lovells testimony again of how she did not suspect Kate, and of the circumstance of Drew seeing the dress skirt and referred also to Drew's testi- mony where he said he believed her guilty of the deed, and his friendship for MT Lowell. He said that because Kate had an opportunity to set the fires was no proof of crime. He followed the testimony referred to by Mir Beecher fighting it step by step. He referred to MT Northrop as man holding important trusts and trusted by the town and to Messrs Blackman, Leonard and MT Mo Namara and their stories.
 He closed with an able plea for the innocence of the accused and cited again that the state is just as anxious to pro- tect innocence as to prove guilt and person should be presumed innocen5 un til guilt is established beyond doubt.
 He asked his honor how he would de- eide were he sitting in the jury box, and said they had not made a case againt this girl. ..-
 It was past o'clock when Mir Williams finished and Justice Camp expressed a desire to reserve his decision till morn- ing.
 MT Williams was anxious that it be settled and after few minutes of thought Justice Camp refused the motion for dis missal and Kate Hurley was bound over to the February term of criminal court, held at Bridgeport, under 5000 bonds, Patrick Campbell being accepted as her bondsman.
 The accused, and her sisters, who have been with her throughout the trial, were much affected by the result, their feel iDgs finding vent in a flood of tears.
 Thus ends one of the longest justice trials ever held in town, and while public opinion is divided as to the guilt and in- nocepce of the accused there is no doubt but Justice Camp performed his duty manfully, and decided the case on its merits as it appeared to him.
