HIS SHOT BY MS FRIEND.
Serious Accident Mt "a Target hoottng
Contcat TIA Fnir Hnvrr.


| AS the result of an accident which
occurred during a friendly contest at
the target shooting in Fair Haven yes
terday Henry Aurisch of Read Road
/ Whtneyville, was seriously injured and
some doubts as to his recovery were en-
ter aimed last night. Aurich and his
| friend. Cl7rerce Wickes. of "a Front
street, were shooting AT target on
Morris Hemingway's dock on Front
I str ct with 32-calbre revolver. Wickes
had taken aim at the target and pulled
the trigger. but the cartridge failed to
explode He started to pull back the
trigger with his finger to try another
shot on the cartridge when the trigger
slipped and the hammer fell down on
the cartridge exploding It,
| The revolver at that time happened
to be pointed at Aurisch, and the bullet
struck him in the back of the neck.
Wickes was Mortified when he found
that he had shot his friend and did
what he could to make him comfortable
and sent FOR DR.. Robinson of Grand
avenue. DR. Robinson found the wound
a serious one and called DR.. Edmund S.
Thompson in consultation. Aurisch
was sent home in hack. The young
man was resting quite comfortably last
night. but the outcome of hts wound
could not be prophesied with any degree
of certainty by the physicians. 1t is In
a bad spot and results are awaited
with anxiety by all the friends of young
Mr. Rurisch. Patrolman Dippold was
near the scsne Of the accident and Sc
cured all the particulars. No arrest In
connection with the case had been made
at o'clock this morning. Both young
men are about twenty years of age.
Another accident which may result
seriously occurred yesterday afternoon
on College street Little -year-old
Harold johnson of 43 College street
was playing with some boys in front of
his home when he was shot in the face
by a colored boy who was firing blank
cartridges in a revolver. The pistol was
close to the little fellows face when the
cartridge exploded, and Harold was
badly burned about the face and receiv-
ed some burnt powder in the eyes. He
was painfully hurt and DR.. Frederick
p Metz of 279 Crown street was sum-
moned to attend. DR.. Metz responded
quickly and by prompt action relieved
the little fellow from his suffering and
treated his burned eyes The child
came near losing his eyesight, but Dr.
Metz is now hopeful of saving his
sight
While crowds Of celebrators were on

Williams had the index finger Of his
right hand shot off. He was attended
by Or. Metz.

ADMIRALS EYI0UR'S EXPEDITION
The Tremendous Odds Against which
n Had 10 Contend.

London. July A Tien Tsin des-
! patch, dated Tuesday, June 26, gives a
! few interesting details illustrating the
tremendous odds against which the
Americans, British and Germans under
Vice Admiral Seymour had to contend
The officers pay high tribute TO the
splendid work done during the contln-
| uous fighting under the intense heat OF
| the most trying climate. The American
patrol June 10, was almost cut off by
500 Boxers; but they succeeded IN
driving them off, killing or wounding
many.
The following day the enemy made
a desperate attempt to rush the head
quarters train at Lang-Fang. The
Boxers advanced with fanatical
courage to within twenty yards of the
locomotive, in the face of terrific rife
fire and Maxim gun fire, but We're re-
pulsed with the loss of about 200 killed
and hundreds of wounded,
The same afternoon the Boxers at
tempted to recapture Loafa, which was
garisoned by sixty bluejackets com
manded by Lieutenant Colomb The
Boxers used four iron guns, firing
pieces of old iron and were repulsed
with the loss of eighty killed. Two of
the guns were captured. Lieutenant
Colomb was wounded These various
assaults show organized and simultane-
GUS attacks along the whole line of Vice
Admiral Seymour's communications.
The imperial troops seem to have
first Joined the Boxers June is, when
the International forces were moving
out of Lang-Fang to repel an attack.
The supposed Boxers were discovered to
be a force of 5000 men, mostly General
Yung-Fuh Slams imperial troops. At
ter two hours severe fighting the Chi
nese bolted, leaving four or five hun
dred dead.
When the international forces attack
ed the arsenal five miles above Tien
Tsin June 90 the American and British
marines carried the Chinese entrench-
nlents at the noin Of the bayonet, in
magnificent style, splendidly supported
by the Germans who crossed the river
lower down and captured six guns,
which they promptly turned on the fly
ing enemy.
The arsenal was found to be extreme
ly well equipped with all imaginable
war stores Including many Krupps and
Maxims, thousands Of modern rifles and
tons Of ammunition and small arms.
The Chinese tenacity was evidenced
in their attempt during the afternoon
to recapture the arsenal but they were
repused after two hours desperate
fighting. 1t was then that Commander
Buchhotz of the Kaiserine Augusta
was killed
The rest of the dispatch is practically
a repetition of Vice Admiral Seymour's
diary, as cabled to The Associated
Press June 80.

these are not sufficient they seize trav-

In England they have the art of cut
ting out paper men and horses, and by
burning charms and repeating 1ncanta-
lions Transforming them into real men
and horses. They may, however, be
dissolved by eating a gong, or by dis
charging large guns at them. They
may also be dissolved by spouting water

dence to substantiate the charges laid
against "the dissolute and abandoned
non-human species" The citations
from these writer's exceed in indecency
anything that can be imagined, and are
too utterly abominable to be even hint
ed at
The missionary translators of "The
Death Blow to Corrupt Doctrines' re-
gard the book as having an important
political significance. 1t not only shows
(they claim) in a vivid light the real
animus Of those who have arrayed
themselves against foreigners, but re-

poses the reckless and diabolical arts by
which they seek to manufacture pub
lie sentiment that will be ready for
deeds of violence and blood The book
shows how the truth may be perverted
and distorted until it becomes in the
hands of designing men potent agency
of evil.
Finally" says the translators, at
should be borne in mind that the book
is directed against foreigners generally,
and all intercourse with thenn-social,
commercial and national. Religion is
the point of attack because religion, in
the minds of the Chinese, is essentially
political and national. To them the idea
that Christianity is propagated from be-
nevolent motives is inconceivable.
They almost universally regard 1t as
political agency, used by foreigners for
the accomplishment of selfish and po-
litical ends"

are due the translators for having
shown us by its means Just in what
light the foreigner is regarded by the

Pekin, and their strenuous urging of
Ii Hung Changs request that neutrali-
ty be observed by the powers toward
the south Chinese provinces are regard
ed In diplomatic circles here as pointing
to the development of a combination on
large scale of the great viceroys and
the ministers against Prince Tuan and
his Boxer adherents in Pekin. The i'm
preston is here growing that no matter
what happens at Pekin the division Of
China is already an accomplished fact,
though not upon the lines contemplated
heretofore by Europeans.
1t is felt that all that part south of
the Yang Use Kiang has parted for
ever from north China. But contrary
to the common expectation, it is now
maintained here in diplomatic circles
that these vast and populGus provinces
of the south are not to pass Immediate
ly under the direct control of Europe
and America as dependencies of the ma
tions. They are either to be erected in
to another Chinese empire under a new
dynasty or are to continue their exist
ence as independent nationalities, the
present viceroys perhaps becoming pet
ty kings and princes, of absolute power
within their own districts. This sys-
tenn Of native states is ciewed with
some favor, but it is believed that the
civilized powers can hold them in line
more easily than if they We're combined

Readville, Mass, July 4.--The third day
in the spring meeting of the New England
| Trotting Horse Breeders Association, and
| the one productive of the best racing was
| witnessed by holiday crowd of over 1900
| people at Readvllle park this afternoon.
| There were four events, and in every in

| Winola started fayorite in the 2:14 pace
and at the quarter Roscoe came up even
with him. In this event the horses even
until the three quarter mark when Winola
pulled out half a length and although Ros-
coe {. looked dangerous towards the finish,
he was unable to head the fayorite Fred
! W. pushed iVlnoa Into the heat, as did
Emma Il. in the third, but neither succeed
ed In heading her.
The 2:19 trot had only two starters--Who

very close together, Who-Is-It winning
without Il skip

Mnzette following the same tactics, beat
VIII Lcyburn for second place by nose.
Both of the next heats came more easily
to Connor, In each instance being length
ahead at the finish.
The favorito Bay Star was distanced in

| Selections From Book Showing the
| Foreigner From a Chinese Point Of
View.
While it is doubtless true that the
| hostility shown the foreigner In China
is in a measure due to the attitude as
sumed by the western American toward
the Monaghan domicled on the Pacific
slope, this is by no means the whole of
the truth The root of the matter lies
deeper and has many qualifications In
the first place, the foreigner is disllked
simply because he is a foreigner, no
matter what his nationality. He is a
fan kuwai" "a white faced dog"
scarcely human. A mob of Chinese
out on a raid against foreigners wastes
no time in considera ton of the question
of nationality any more than an Amer
lean inquiries whether the laundrymen
an the next block hail from Kwang-Si
or Hu-Peh.
To one who has not resided in China
the determination of the problem in
Volving the question OF responsibility
for native attacks on foreigners is not
an easy one, but those who have expert
ence no difficulty in the premises. Who
are at the bottom of the mischief? Is it
the officials the priesthood, the people
themselves? 1t is the literati.
Missionaries resident in China are as
one in this opinion. The Rev. Alexan-
der Williamson, author of Journeys in
North China and Manchuria," says:
The Chinese opponents of missions, as
of everything foreign, are not the peo-
pie, but the ltterati or officials" An

THE TICE ENCY.
StcvcnsOn's Candidacy Meets with Fs-
vor-A stampede for HUI Talked or.

Kansas City, July Avery little that
was tangible developed in the vice
presidential situation tonight although
THE Stevenson candidacy apparently
met with favor and there seemed to be
a possibility of this being the solution
of the question. The determination of
the Indiana delegation to put Shiveley
n In the field caused a little diversion
during part of the day, but Mr..
Shiveley distinctly stated this evening
that he was not a candidate and would
not be. AS to the action of the Indiana
delegation he said that after what he
had told them there was no reason for
the belief that he would be candidate.
Friends of Stevenson said that they
would have been perfectly satisfied
short time ago to have supported Shive-
ley, but after the positive statement
made yesterday that Shiveley would
not be a candidate and would not be
presented by Indiana they now felt that
they would stand by Stevenson.
The demonstration made over Hill in
the convention to-day was taken by
some that the convention would be
stampeded for Hill, but Hill does not
think so and it is possible that if he
makes speech on the platform he will
make it plain that he could not be
candidate on a Bryan platform. He
says enphatically that he Will not be
nominated.
Two other booms remain in much the
same condition they We're yesterday.
Both Towne and Sulzer are in the race
though the convention does not seem
inclined to favor them. The Towne
men claim they have the support of
Bryan and that if 16 to is put in the
platform their man will be the logical
candidate.
The New York men say that the ac-
ton yesterday for John w. Keller is
earnest and that they will try and Sc
cure his nomination. Tonight the vice
presidency is in doubt with a leaning
toward Stevenson.
The Illinois delegation has received
telegram from Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson
saying that he would leave with that
delegation the entire matter of his can
didacy. Mayor Harrison expresses the
opinion that Mr. Stevenson will receive
the nomination.

lands contain one or more cocoanut
