SHOT BY A BURGLAR.
Harry J. Harries Probably Fatally
Wounded.

OAKLAND, Oct. 16.-Harry J. Har-
ries, son of William Harries, manager
of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank
of San Francisco was shot and pos
sibly fatally injured by a burglar this
morning
Young Harries was awakened at an
early hour by peculiar noises in the
house, and suspecting that burglar
was at work, armed himself with a
Winchester and set forth to find the
intruder At the foot of the stairway
he came upon couple of men, one
of whom fired at him without warning.
Harries tried to use his weapon, but
one of the men grasped II, and strug-
gle followed. Becoming desperate the
burglar whipped out q revolver and
shot Harries in the breast Badly
wounded as he was. the young fellow
still made an effort to down the burg
lar, keeping up a constant fire as the
burglar attempted to escape.
1t is believed that one of the burg
lars was shot, as he cried out in agony
after the fifth shot was fired.
Young Harries is very seriously in
jured, a gaping hole in his breast just
below the heart telling of the true aim
of the burglar. No trace of the men
has been found by the police.

AGUINALDo'S BROTHER.
Likely Soon to Suffer the Death
Penalty for Treason.

CHICAGO, Oct 16.-A special to the
Chronicle" from Tacoma says: Mail
advices received to-day from Hong
kong report that Baldomero Aguinaldo
brother of the insurgent leader, is inn
prisoned at Filipino headquarters, and
will soon be shot for treason
Aguinaldo says he will not interfere
when the court-martial sentences his
brother to death.
Early last month, it is alleged, Bal
domero embezzled $4,000 from the
treasury and with five others escaped
into the American lines, intending to
reach Hongkong via Manila. While
he slept his associates stole and divid-
ed the money leaving him penniless.
He returned to the Filipino headquar-
ters and was arrested.
A terrible epidemic of dysentery is
sweeping over Japan, with fatal re-
suits. Official statistics show that out
of 10000 persons attacked up to Sep

The authorities estimate that 100000
cases will be recorded by the end of
October.

WILLIAM j. BRYAN.
The Silver Champions Trip to the
South.

BARDWELL (Ky.), Oct 16.-The
Bryan party left Cairo, Ill, this morn
ing at o'clock. Among those on the
train were Mr.. and Mrs. William J
Bryan, National Committeeman Wood
son of Kentucky. William Goebel, Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor; James
Blackburn, brother Of Aenator Black
burn; G. c. Coulter, candidate for Aud
itor, and others known to Kentucky
Democracy, and an array of newsna-
per correspondents. Bardwell was the
first stop. An enthusiastic crowd greet
ed the train. Mr.. Bryan said in nart:
Whether the next President of the
United States is a Democrat depends
somewhat upon how we'll you do in
Kentucky this year. Four years ago.
or rather three years ago, Kentucky did
not help the Democratic party to any
great extent. I am not sure but we
carried the State, but 1 am sure we
did not get it. Kentucky is a Demo-
cratic State. and we have a right TO
expect it to go Democratic in 1900.
IF the State goes Republican this fall
it may be difficult to carry it next year.
You will encourage the Republicans
and discourage the Democrats If YOU
try to divide the Democratic party,
You cannot whip the Republicans by
dividing the Democratic party in two .
Mr.. Bryan vigorously denounced the
war in the Philippines and the present
large standing army, claiming it the
duty of the Democratic party 10 seek
a reduction Of the army to the peace
footing of 25,000
Mr.. Bryan also, at some length. paid
his respects to President McKinley's $
announcement to hold the PhiI;ppines.
and said it was the first announcement
of the President of the United States
against the spirit of the Declaration of
independence.
