KILLED IN MISSISSIPPI.
Prominent Vicksburg Business Man
Shot by Well Known Lawyer
and Legislator.
Tragedy Alleged to Have Grown Out
of Scandalous Charge Similar to
that of Which Oscar Wilde
was Convicted.

Brandon, Miss, Aug. 9.-Dabney Mar.
shall, prominent lawyer and member Of
the state legislature from Vicksburg, and
two of his friends shot and killed R. 7,
Dinkens, agent of the Austin Road Ma
chine company, to-day.
While standing on the platform of the
depot, Dinkens was approached by Mar
shall and his two companions, H. H. Cole
man and O. P. Fox, of Vicksburg. Mar
shall walked up to Dinkens and said:
"This is Mr.. Dinkens," and, placing a
pistol at Dinkens' stomach, discharged
the weapon. Dinkens grabbed the pistol
just as it was fred and possibly the first
shot did not take effect. As Dinkens
backed away from Marshall, there was
fusilade from Marshall's companions. 1t
is thought that Dinkens fired Marshall's
pistol at the latter, as it was found in his
hand when dead. Marshall, Coleman, Fox
and Marshall's law partner, Valens, sur
rendered to the sheriff.
Two weeks ago Dinkens and Marshall
occupied the same room, but different
beds at hotel in Raymond. The next
morning D1nkens said that Marshall was
guilty of a crime similar to the one for
which Oscar Wilde is now serving term
in an English prison. When the story
came to the ears of Marshall, he de-
nounced it ms lie through the press.
Dinkens, however, maintained that the
story was true. Marshall was the Dem
ocratic nominee for foater senator for
Warren and Kinds counties.

CHINA MUST COME TO TIME.
United States Quite as Active as Great
Britain in Protecting
Missions.
Chinese Representatives at Washing.
ton and London Express Profound
Regret - This Hardly
Sufficient.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The United States
anticipated Great Britain in taking the
most energetic steps for the protection
of the American missionaries in China.
The heinjustice of the criticisms that have
been uttered in some quarters upon the
the alleged Indifference of United States
Minister Denby is fully shown by mail
dispatch that has Just come to the de-
partment of state from the minister.
1t is dated toward the close of June,
and shows that Mr.. DENLY has made a
sweeping and peremptory demand upon
the Chinese government, similar to that
made yesterday by the British minister
at Pekin, for the fullest protection for all
Americans living in China; for redress
for the depredations committed upon
their property and persons, and finally
for the capital punishment of the per-
petrators.
just what answer was returned by the
Chinese government is not known, as it
has not yet reached the state depart
ment, but it is fact that 30 far as tho
department is informed on all the recent
outrages committed upon the mission
aries in China not one American was
killed or injured, and while some Amer
loan mission property was destroyed it
will doubtless be promptly paid for.
ALL VERY SORRY.
Minister Yang Yu, of China, and his
secretaries have returned to Washington
to take any action that may be recuisite
in connection with the reported mass
acre of missionaries and the destruction
of American and English missionary
property in China. The minister ex-
presses his profound regret at the re-
ports. He has the fullest confidence that
the central government at Pekin will do
all in it's power toward hnmane and am
pie action, bnt in the absence of exact
advices from the government the minis
ter can not say what its course will be.
London.-Sir Halliday Mccarthy, the
English secretary of the Chinese delega-
CATION in London, has expressed China's
regret for the massacre, and has declared
that every effort will be made to bring
the culprits to Justice.
