OUR GOVERNMENTS REPLY.
CID (Acting Secretary Hill to the I'm
perial German Charge d'Affaires.)
Department of State,
Washington, September 21st, 1900.
Sir: In response to your inquiry of
the 10Th instant as to the attitude of the
Government Of the United States in re-
gard to the exemplary punishment of the
notable leaders in the crimes committed
in Pekin against international law, have
the honor to make the following state
ment:
The Government of the United States
has from the outset proclaimed it's pur-
pose to hold to the uttermost account
ability the responsible authors of any
wrongs done in China to citizens of the
United States and their interests, as was
stated in the Governments circular COM
munication to the powers of July 3rd last.
These wrongs have been committed not
alone in Pekin. but in many parts of the
Empire, and their punishment is believed
to be an essential element of any effect
i've settlement which shall prevent re-
currence of such outrages and bring about
permanent safety and peace in China. 1t
is thought, however, that no punitive
measures can be so effective by way of
reparation for wrongs suffered and as de-
terrent examples for the future as the
degradation and punishment of the re-
sponsible authors by the supreme imperial
authority itself; and it seems only just
the first instance an opportunity to do
to China that she should be afforded in
ing his views on the calling out of troops
at Shenandoah and the killing of a num-
Der of a mob by deputies at Shenandoah

Used His Revolver.

Samuel Dunham, young man about
John Krise, who live but short
distance apart in the southeastern cor
uer of Eldred township, had shooting
affair all TO themselves Wednesday
evening Of last week, and the result is
that Durham will go through the world
the rest Of his life on one leg. The
affair has been patched up between
the parties and but little is being said
by them as TO particulars concerning
the shooting. 1t is known, however,
that the men had been indulging quite
freely In fire water that day, and that
some time during the evening Krise
shot Durham in the leg with revolver,
the ball striking the bone and shatter-
ing IL into a mass Of broken pieces for
distance Of several inches. Drs. Law
son and Henry we're called. and upon
examination they decided that it would
be useless to make any effort TO save the
leg, so they made the amputation and
the patient is making a rapid recovery.
No arrest has been made nor is IL likely
that any will be made, as It would be
difficult job to get the necessary evil
dence to procure conviction. 1t is
given out that the consideration Dun
ham is to receive from Krise for the loss
OF his leg is that Krise is to pay all the
expenses and set him up In business as
soon as he is able to be about again.
