An ATTORNEY KILLED.
Murdered by a Youth at Carson
City, New.
HAD RUINED THE BOYS SISTER.
The Father Found the ~. s. District At
torney With His Warned
Him to Cease Attentions-Bo Thought
His Father In Danger and Fired.

CARSON CITY, New, Nov. 1O.-In re-
yenge for an alleged wrong to his sister
Julian Guinan, aged II years, has shot
and fatally wounded Charles Jones,
United States district attorney. Jones
died soon after the shooting. An hour
or two after Jones death Guina sur
rendered himself at the sheriff office
and confessed that he had shot Jones,
whom the boy accused of improper III
timacy with his sister.
All parties are prominent.
The statement of the youth, who is
now in jail, is TO the effect that imme-
diately prior TO the shooting he had OBJ
served his sister talking to Jones, who
was married. with whom his father
had forbidden association, when he
saw DIR. Gulnan approaching. Believ-
ing trouble to be inevitable when the
two men should meet, the boy pro-
cured winchester rifle and stationed
himself at window fer the purpose, as
he says, of protecting his father.
Upon encountering Jones, DR.. Gui-
nan said to him: This is the last
time | shall ever warn you against
keeping company with my daughter. "
Jones jeered at the doctor in COM
ment upon his warning and slipped his
hand into his righthand pocket.
Julian states that having often heard
his father threaten to kill Jones, and
having been informed that the district
attorney always carried a revolver,
which he believed, from Jones motion,
was about to be drawn, the boy fired ct
Jones in anticipation of an attack upon
his father. Jones fell forward dead
MIA Guinan, seeing Jones fall, threw
ne, sW upon him and embraced the
aead body.

PREMIER LAURIER CALLED.

The Canadian Statesman Paid His Re-
spects to the President This Morning.
The Bering Sea Controversy to Be Set
tied First-Other Matters to Follow.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-General Fos-
ter and Sir Julian Pauncefote have
conferred as to the arrangements for
the meeting of British, Canadian and
American representatives relative to
Boring sea a general understanding
was reached that the arrival of Sir
Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian premier,
and party, would permit the meeting
to open tomorrow. The British am
bassador accompanied the premier to
the White House. this morning and in
trodueed him to the president.
1t is now definitely settled that the
coming meeting will take a much
broader scope than was first antici-
pated. At the outset there will be a
comparison of notes between the seal
experts, Mr. Hamlin for the United
States, Prof. Thompson for Great Brit
ain and Prof. Macoun for Canada. The
Canadian premier and Sir Louis Davies,
L
ter will be present in an unofficial ca
pacity ready to take up the larger
phases of the question, when the seal
experts have concluded their exchanges
of technical information. 1t is said
that the relations existing between
Great Britain and Canada make it es.
sential that all questions of an i'm
perial character should be concluded
by the direct representatives of the
imperial government. At the same
time the presence of the Canadian
premier is expected to assist in reach
ing speedy conclusions, without. the
usual delays of acting through the
British foreign Office.
1t was said at the state department
that the first object would be to reach
settlement ON the Boring sea ques-
ton, and with that out of the way
there would be every disposition to
favorable conference on border immi-
grafton, Canadian American interests
in the Klondike, reciprocity and the
other questions which Sir Wilfred and
his associates regard as paramount to
the Boring sea issue.

~. OF. I0.--The Marquis Of
Sail bury pi.aie minister. in mis- speech
at the lord mayors banquet ntimated
that while England would do every
thing possible to preserve peace in
AfIic... he would not allow France to
infringe on British rights.
He said the history of the past year
was that the European concert had
failed TO prevent Greece from going to
war, but had succeeded in preserving
the peace OF Europe. 1t was, he SUBJ
mitted. a great and praiseworthy
achievement for the concert to avert
that calamity. He continued:
Had the concert exerted all its force
to prevent Greece from going to war
the responsibility might have rested
upon it OF erasing Greece from the
map"
With reference to the Cretan ques-
ton, his lordship observed that this was
still unsettled, but added:
"The concert of Europe is ike a
steam roller with great power but lit
tie speed"
In concluding his speech Lord Sails
bury said
lone hope we have of preventing the
competition of ornaments among Euro
pean powers ending in a terrible effort
for mutual destruction, fatal to civil
cation, is that the powers may gradu-
ally be brought to act together in q
friendly spirit as to all questions that
may arise until at last they shall be
welded in some international construc-
ton which will give the world, as the
result of their great strength, long
spell of unfettered commerce, prosper
GUS trade and continual peace"

AS to the Chinese.

Now that the Americanized Chi
nese have declared an intention to
assert their rights, what is likely to
be the result7 There are in the Uni
ted States forty thousand native
born citizens of Chinese parentage.
In San Francisco there are twenty
five thousand to thirty thousand Chi
nese, and their children are entitled
to the rights of citizenship. The
school census shows fifteen hundred
children less than seventeen years Of
age OF Chinese parentage, and this
is probably very incomplete CEN
sus, owing to the difficulty of obtain
ing information from the Chinese.
In the Hawaiian Islands there are
twenty one thousand Chinese, land, if
the islands are annexed, the major
| ity OF these will be in San Francisco
within few years. Many of the Ha-
waiian Chinese are married-most Of
them to Hawaiian women--and in
this population OF fifty thousand
there would be not less than twenty
thousand families. The children OF
the Hawaiian Chinese are half Ha-
waiian; they could not be denied ci-
tizenship. The Hawaiian women
are very fertile, and prefer Chinese
to Kanaka husbands. Annexation
would make San Francisco more OF
a Chinese city than it was during
the blooming days of Chinese i'm
migration.-S. r. Argonaut.

DON'T WANT IT.

Like England, Japan Would Not
Accept the Islands as q Gift.
CRY OF MEXICO, August BIN an
interview on the Hawaiian-J apanese
controversy, Yashibuni Murota,
japanese Minister to Mexico, made
the following statement:
"There are many Japanese in Ha-
waii, and they have rights which
might be interfered with in the
event of annexation. What if the
United States respected these rights?
In such a case there might be no OBJ
lection on the part Of my Govern
ment However, Hawaii is an indie
pendent government in the Pacific,
and Japan would prefer to have it
kept independent.
"Even il the United States should
carry out its policy of non"inter-
ference in European or Eastern
affairs, in case the islands should be-
come part OF the American Union
some contingency might arise
forcing them to change their policy
of neutrality. For instance, Homo
lulu is an important settlement, and
if America had any question with
Great Britain the possession of these
islands in the Pacific might lead as
an accident in colonial politics to an
expansion of the American domain
far beyond their present intentions.
This is the reason we prefer to have
Hawaii wholly Independent"
The Minister said that all talk
about an alliance between Spain and
Japan against the United States was
erroneous. No such thing is con-
templated. Japan owes its modern
renaissance to the United States,
through whose efforts the country
was thrown open to the world. We
consider the United States in that
sense our mother country.
Gwen il the United States were
to make present of Hawaii to
Japan, it would not be accepted.
The Japanese have no ambition to
annex Hawaii, and, as l have said,
would rather see the islands indie
pendent and free"

NEW STORIES RETOLp.

Certain members of the Chamber Of
Commerce were discussing the ability
of Germans to drink beer, and one OF
them offered to wager that any Teu-
ton out of a crowd at work on a build
ing near by could drink gallon Of
lager without stopping. The party APP
preached a sturdy-loolsing stone ma
son, and the sporting man asked:
"Will you drink bucketful of beer
if | pay for it?" The mason thought
a minute. "Vell, l drink it if 1 can.
I don't know, though, if I can. You
wait minute" He disappeared into
Fort street, but returned mo-
ment later, smiling. "All right" ne
said, 81 vas ready" They went into
an adjoining saloon and the Teuton
drang the gallon of lager without a
wink. Coming back to his mallet and
chisel, he said: 81 vas not sure if ]
could drink pail of beer or not, so
