Wounded Boy in Very
Critical Condition.
He Says That Shooting Was
Entirely Accidental.


Sanford, September 17.-Geo. Moulton,
10 years old. was acoidently shot by his
play fellow, Earnest Lowell, about three
o'clock this afternoon and as result Of
the wound be received is In very criti-
cal condition.
Deputy sheriff Fogg and PRESS cor
respondent hearing OF the shooting affair
drove to the farm OF Orrin Lowell about
mile from Sanford on the Alfred road
tonight. They found the household In q
state OF great excitement. Mr.. Lowell
and his family had been absent from the
farm during the day and on their return
found George Moultun. an orphan VINO
has been boarding with them, badly
wounded and unconscious. A few days
ago young Lowell bought a thirty two
ealibre revolver and while the boys were
eating late dinner this afternoon took
this weapon out and laid 1t on the table
beside his plate. Moulton picked the
revolver up and aiming it at Lowell
pulled the trigger. The chamber which
the hammer struck did not happen to be
the one which was loaded but when few
minutes later Lowell aimed the revaIver
at hts play fellow and pu lied the trigger
there was an explosion and young MouI-
ton fell over backwards upon the floor
with bullet through his left breast. At
the time the shot was tired the boys were
sitting on oppos ite sides of table and
were not eight feet apart. Moulton was
conscious tonight when seen by the sher-
i'll and talked with difficulty. He said
that the shooting was entirely accidental.

tween the frat and second rib, through

Pretoria, September 1.-THE reply of
the government Of the South African
republic to the latest despatch, dated Sep
tem Der i2 of the British Secretary of State
for the colonies. Mr.. Joseph Chamber.
lain, after acknowledging the receipt OF
the British note, proceeds In part as fol-
lows:
1.-The government deeply regrsts the
withdrawal as the government uader-
stands it, of the invitation contained in
the British despatch of August 20 and
the substitution, in place thereof, of an
entirely new proposal.
"The proposals, now fallen through,
contained in the Transvaal dispatches OF
August 10. and August 81. were elinited
from this government by Suggestions
made by the British diplomatic agent In
Pretoria (Mr. Conyngham Gresu) &, the
Transvaal state secretary (Mr. +. W.
Reitz) suggestions which this govern
ment acted upon In good faith aLd after
specially asoertaining whether they would
be likely to prove acceptable to the Brit
ish government. This government hal
by no means an intention to raise again
needlessly the question of Its political
status but actsd with the sole object of
endeayoring by the aid Of the local Brit.
ish agent to put an end tc the strained
condition Of affairs.
This was done in the shape OF pro-
posal which this government deems, both
as regards its spirit and form, To be so
worded as, relying upon intimations to
this government would satisfy Her Mai.
esty's government. This government saw
difficulty. as to the acceptance Of those
proposals by the people and legislature of
the Transvaal and also contemplated pos
sible dangers connected Herewith, but
risked making them on account Of sin.
csre desire to secure peace and because
assured by MIR. Chamberlain that such
proposals would not be deemed refusal
of his proposals but would be settled on
their merits.
"As regards the Joint commission, the
Iransvaai adheres to the acceptance of
the Invitation thereunto given by Her
Majesty's government and cannot under
stand why such commission which before
was deemed necessary to explain the
complicated details of the soyen years law
should now be deemed necessary and why
1t should now. without such inquiry, be
thought possible to declare this law inad-
equate.
Further. there must bs o misappre-
hension II it be assumed that this govern
ment was prepared to lay proposals for
five years franchise and a quarter repre-
the Volksraad for unconditional ac-
oeption.

"As to the language. this government
never made any offer suuh a. Is referred
10 considering as it did, such measure
both unnecessary and undesirable.
"The proposed conference, as distinct
from the joint commission OF inquiry,
this government is likewise mot unwili.
ing TO enter upon; but the difficulty II
that an acoeptanos thereof is made de-
pendent upon tho arceptancs. on the side
Of the Transvaal, of precedent conditions
which thi 9 government does not feel al
liberty to submit to the volksraad and,
moreover. the subjects to be discussed at
the conference remained underlined.
"This government ardently desires and
gladly accepts arbitration. as Its firm IN
tention is to adhere to the terms Of tn .
London convention Of 1884"
The despatch concludes by trusting
that the British government, on recon
sideraticn, may not deem 1t fit to make
more onerous or new proposals but win
"adhere to Great Britain's proposal for
a joint commission of inquiry as prsvl-
ously explained by the Secretary Of State
for the Colonies to the imperial pariia-
ment."

Old Orchard, September i7.-A visitor
at Old Orchard is S. $. Sarkis, who has
been a leader In the revolutions OF CONT
mental Europe, especially those which
have occurred in Tureky. He is Syrian
and is now In exile because he printed in
his paper "Al Mushir" then published at
BeJroot the statement that the Sultan OF
Turkey might escape the judgement of
man but he could not escape the Judge
ment of God. Mr.. Sarkis is visiting his
cousin, Madam Bakares here. To-day he
addressed a large audience In the taber.
nacie held under the auspices of the W.
@. L. U. in the course of which he ad :
yocated the assassination of the Sultan
as an act which would be pleasing In the
sight of God. With fiery eloquence he
dsscribsd the situation In the Turkish
possessions where Christians are murdered
by orders Of the Sultan. Having relatsti
the constant fear of the Sultan that he
would be assassinated and the fact that
he visits the mosque only when sur.
rounded by bodyguard of thirty thous.
and men the speaker advocated the mur-
der of this ruler as necessity. A clergy
man in the audience asked the spea ker
who would murder the Sultan. Striding
to the edge of the platform, Sarkis re-
Piled in a most dramatic manner: "No
one would murder him; none would as
sassinate him, but any of us would kin
him and be doing Gods service"
"Would you do thisr" some one asked.
Eyes, II l could hurl bomb into the
midst Of his escort and blow the Sultan
and his men into fragments 1t would be
a small matter for by so doing would
save the lives Of at least 100, 600 Chris
tians.
Sarkis continued to sreak In relation to
the Armenian troubles and said that these
people were forced to either renounce
Christ or die. He appealed for the Chris
tians Of England aud America to aid
these people. At the close of his thrilling
address he was loudly applanded though
