THE NEWS FROM CHINA.

Even the most sluggish blood must
boil at reading the stories of the
atrocities committed upon Americans
and Europeans by Chinese in Pekin.
We may discount the reports as much
As we like, and yet the undisputed fact
remains that the great nations of the
world are stirred by the news as they
have not been for . generation.
The massacres has been compared
to the Indianmas sacres that were at
one time all too frequent in our own
land. There ia this great difference
that the diplomatic families ii the
Chinese empire constitute body that
under the laws of nations must 30 pro-
tected by the government to which
they are accredited by all the LADS In
Its power. The killing OF pris 10 in
dividual would be q just cause for quick
measures and virIle action by the
nation of his citizenship. Such an
outrage however could not be con-
strued as an attack on the whole
country. On the other hand, the at.
tack on a legation is an attack on the
nation itself, the legation grounds be-
ing to all intents and purposes Ameri-
can or European ground, the flags of
the nations being the very emblems of
nationality. and 1.-The diplomatic repre-
sentatives being, In the case of monsr.
chies, the personal representatives of
monsrchs, in case of republics the
representatives of the sovereign
people.
Their status has been determined
again and again, and no nation need
be in ignorance of the fact that an
attack on the legations of q country is
the most deadly insult that can be
delivered, and is next to a declaration
of war.
Still it must be clear TO the average
reader that the course of the admins.
trstion In this country and the govern
ments abroad in refusing to exercise
the existence of war is eminently the
right one. The administration at
Washington takes the stand, and
very wisely, that to declare

WILL ALLEN WHITE of Kansas is
always clever, and whether one agrees
with him or rot, his description of
Bryan in the July Mcclure is interest

sonal strength in the fact that he is

men in American politics stand or fall

Bryan is Bryan, and Bryan is his pro-

Mr.. Bryan's personality. He has got q
whole lot of it. That's bis main stock

our day. 1t needs Bryan to enthuse and

without the Calliope of the Platte

ALMOST A MURDER
Committed At A Mexican Dance

Mateo Medina, Mexican about 81
years old, was seriously and probably
fatally wounded by an unknown AS
sailant at Mexican dance near the Ell
Paso and Northeastern railroad tracks
on the Rio Grande Sunday night. The
man was stabbed in the neck and face,
and his skull was fractured by some
blunt instrument. blood clot on
the brain caused paralysis, and the in
iured man could not tell his name or
The name of his assAilsnt. 1t was final
ly learned that he had until recently
been mployed by Hubbard and Co. as
general helper. An operation was
performed yesterday afternoon.
At ten o'clock last night the wound
ed man regained consciousness and
Justice Spencer took hisstatement He
was able to give general description
of his assailant, and ssfd he would be
able to recognize him, but he did not
know his name. 1t is believed by the
police that three men and q woman
participated in the assaults on Medina.
1t Is claimed that Medina was armed
with q knife, and that he succeeded in
woundtng two or three others before he
was himself hurt.
George Harold was sent yesterday to
arrest the parties concerned in the
fight. Policeman Mitchell arrested op e
man who was ps sent, but women who
witnessed the fig hit say he is not the man
who committed the assauls. No other
arrests have been made. Medina
stated while conscious that the dispute
arose over a woman whom he a.ke q
to dance with him. An investigation
will be made and it is believed that the
guilty parties will be apprehended.

FAILURE A CRIME.
KINGS BROKEN PROMISE.
Victor Emmanuel Repays a Peasant
Whose Life He Endangered.
From the Outlook.

From the outlook.
Victor Emmanuel. King of Italy was
fond of hunting and went TO the noun
tains to enjoy this sport. He often was
far in advance of his party and met
with adventures that amused him
greatly. One day he found himself
alone on the mountains and with a
stream tn cross which was turbulent
He was too good IL hunter not to rec
oSnizc the danger Of wading in a
stream so deep and which he did not
know. While looking at the stream,
and questioning what he would do q
very tall strong man came through
the woods to the stream. You must
carry me over!" said the King. The
man refused unless he was paid They
agreed on the price, the man stipula:-
ing that his passenger must sit per-
fectly still, If he moved. he would
throw him in the water.
The king agreed. The man stopped.
the king mounted his shoulders as the
baby does papas. and they started
across. When in midstream the king
got troubled about his dog. lest he
should not follow, and turned to look.
The man was very angry, and declared
he would drop his passenger in the
water. The king was cOntrite and the
man went on. When they reached the
other side the man demanded doubla
pay For" he said, you put both our
lives in danger when you turned" The
king thought the demand was just, and
paid it.

you?" asked the king.

donkey l could Sell my vegetables in
Turin. 1t is a good market"
Would not a horse be better"
queried the king.
NO" was the mans reply "The
donkey could live in the cowshed. The
horse must have a stable. I have no
money" The next day the man was
working in his fields when his wife
called to him that the king had sent
him a horse and a bag of money The
man laughed at the idea. "Why. the
king did not know him."
The wife Insisted that the man should
come to the house. There the kings
messengers told him who it was he car
ried over the stream; that the king
realized the danger he had placed the
man in when crossing the stream. and
the horse and money to build stable
were the kings recompense for forget
ting for moment his promise.
Long afterward. on the occa sion Of
state. the king was in Turin. The man
to whom the king had given the horse
and the money for stable waited till
the kings carriage came. when he
rushed out into the street and thanked
the king and pointed to the horse hat
messed to cart filed with yegeta bles.
