drew his pistol and fired upon the young

He then turned the gun upon himself,
but the bullet merely touched the flesh,

State Department to Take steps
Looking to Securing ReparatIOn.
Washington, Dec 2l-The department
of state has undertaken an investigation
of two very disagreea5le Incidents that
may contain i'm themselves the germs of
serious trouble in the near future. These
are the killing by Japanese of two sailors
attached TO the United States fleet on the
Asiatic station. The conditions under
which the killing occurred are not known
exactly yet and the state department is
to learn through the United States min
lister to Toxic and the United States con-
suls in Japan preliminary to determining
what steps shall be taken to Sc
cure reparation, If 1t should be
found that the killing was.
as is suspected, unjustifable. The first
killing was of sailor named Montgomery
formerly attached to the Yorktown, while
she was on the Asiatic station, and the
last was of Frank Epps, sailor, a native
of New York. and an apprentice on the
flagship Olympia. He was killed at Maya
saki. The officials here have been advls-
ed of the bare facts only, but following so
closely on the terrible assault at Kobe last
September of a Japanese mob upon the
sailors of the Yorktown, these killings
have aroused them to a determination to
secure protection for our sailors In Japa-
nese ports.

mSnt IN n speech.
New York, Dec. 21.-The New England
Society of the city of Brooklyn held its
seventeenth annual dinner tonight in cell
ebratiOn of the 277th anniversary of the
landing of the pilgrims. Covers were laid
for $50 guests, among whom were Frank
s. Black, governor of the state; Senator
Joseph R. Hawley of Connecticut and
George w. Smalley of the London Times.
Mr. Smalley spoke on ''New and Old
England" and he caused a sensation by
his broad handling of the diplomatic rela-
tons between this country and the coun-
tries upon the other side of the water.
He referred to Clevelands Venezuelan
message, and declared England had shown
a great deal of forbearance in this affair.
He declared also that the continental
powers had come to think of the United
States as a menace to the peace of the
world, instancing the interference of the
United States in the Venezuelan question,
the attitude OF the United
States toward Turkey in connec-
ton with the Armenian affairs and Tur-
keys war with Greece; its attitude with
reference to Hawaii and latterly the
strong sentiments that have been express
ed by the American people against Spain s
war in Cuba. He said that so strong were
the feelings entertained by the continental
powers against this country chat there was
certain to be a combination to oppose any
action that the United States government
might attempt to take to enforce compli-
ance with its wishes, and asked if it
might not be well under such crcum-
stances for the United States to get as
close as possible 10 England, the Oldest

excitement subsided somewhat to say that
he was extremely sorry that Mr.. Smalley
he'd 50 misunderstood his own country, an
expression which was loudly applauded.
