right lay a revolver, bullet from which
had entered his head at the base Of his
brain.
a physician, who was hurriedly called,
announced that the death wound could
not have been self-inf1icted, but, as pow

muzzle of the pistol to the mark.
Col. Bunker had entered his office be-
fore his stenographer arrived, and, going
to his private room, had locked the door
behind him. The discovery was made
through the stenographer attempting to
answer telephone call In the private Of

KILLED WHILE AT WORK
CHICAGO BARBER ASsASsINATED
IN HIS SHOP.

CHICAGO, March A.-Robert w. Gil
christ proprietor of a barber shop at
1164 Twenty-second street, was shot and
instantly killed While preparing to shave
a patron in his shop tonight. The assas-
sin came to the door of the shop. opened
1t about half way, took slow aim with a
rifle and fired, hitting GiIchrist In the
temple, eXcaping before the witnesses Of
the crime could recover from their aston
ishment and give pursuit.
A witness described the shooting as
follows:
"Gilchrist had adjusted the napkins
about the man In mis- chair and was
standing behind it with his side toward
the door. saw the stranger approach
the door and without any hesitancy open
1t. He carried a rife. and when he took
aim at the barber, I had no thought but
that he was a friend of Gilchrist, playing
joke. He held the gun at aim for sew
eral seconds, and then fired.
Until I heard the shot I believed he
was only joking, and expected to see him
lower the gun and walk in. He watched
Gilchrist sink to the ground, and then
started to run away"
Gilchrist came to Chicago eight years
ago from Mobile, Ala, where his mother
still resides, at S07 George street Most
of his correspondence which was eX-
amined by the police consisted Of letters
from her, which treated OF family affairs,
and appeared to throw no light on the
murder.

MERELY A WILD RUMOR
TALK OF AN INTERNATIONAL DEM
ONSTRATION AGAINST CHINA.

BERLIN, March 21.-An official agency
today gave out a Washington dispatch
letting forth that the American warship
sent to Tazu is intended TO participate in
an eventual Joint naval demonstration
should China persist in her refusal to
suppress the sects hostile to Christians
WASHINGTON, March M.-The fact
that the state department has consist
emily, throughout the many uprisings in
China, necessitating the presence of for
eign warships, adhered to It's policy of
acting alone, is quoted here as sufficient
to indicate the error in the statement
connecting the presence of the gunboat
Wheeling with an international demon
stration. 1t is pointed out here that in
the past the United States warships have
undertaken to protect all -Caucas:ans,
Europeans and Americans at the point
where they must lie nearest the place of
disturbance. The little gunboat Petrol
had been protecting all foreigners Sim
ilarly any United States warship would
protect all foreigners during the opera
tions Of any Of the Chinese secret socie-
ties. But it can be stated that this gov
ernment acted on its own motion, and
thus 1t can be stated that the COM
mander of the Wheeling will act on or
ders from this government alone, and not
in conjunction with other powers.

PHILIPPINE PAPER
HANDLED WITHOUT A GLOVE

BOSTON, March M.-The statement CIV
en- out by Bishop Potter, of New York,
as to conditions in the Philippines, as he
found them, has drawn forth q letter
from Erving Winslow, secretary of the
New England Anti-ImpeIialist league, In
which he says the Anti-Imperialist league
proposes to stand Loyalty by the republic
LAS for the inhabitants of the Philip
pine islands, we have positive reasons for
knowing that the elements that compos-
ed that admirable congress and admins
ed four months ago still exist, ,and could
easily be reached in such a matter as
to promise rapid evolution toward ma
tive self government, assisted by an
American alliance, and by the neutral
ization OF the archipelago. Permit me to
suggest that the opinions you arrive at
in a remarkably short space Of time
four days-were derived from the e1vi-
ronments of an enemys camp. Notori-
Gus circumstances in the island of Luz IN
today contradict your inference. We have
reason to believe that our opinions are
those of the great mass of the common
people of America, though the better
Philippines, may be satisfied with what
is going on, ignorantly hoping that it
may bring them increased prosperity. In
short our cause is the cause of the plain
people, white or brown, against avar.ce
and ambition, hiding under the cloak Of
pseudo-p -phila nthropy."

scheme has been arranged for the ANAL
gamation of the Transvaal and the Free
State. Kruger will become president of
the federated states and Steyn command
ing general of the Boer army. The flag
will be the same as that of the Trans
Vaal, with an additional orange color
Though this story is not confirmed it is
not improbable. 1t is a notorious fact
that Gen. Joubert has lost the confidence
Of the burghers, simply because from
the first he refused to shut his eyes to
the inevitable result of the war With
all the burghers in the field, it must not
be difficult to secure a formal indorse-
ment of this rumored scheme
SWITZERLAND CANNOT MEDIATE.
BERNE, Switz., March N.-The federal
council has answered the Boer appeal for
mediation as follows:
1.-THE Swiss federal council would have
been pleased to have participated in
friendly intervention in order to prevent
further bloodshed, but as the presidents
Of both South African republics have di-
rectly approached the British government
in order to conclude peace on a basis IN
dicated, and the British government has
shown itself against the proposal, and
as, furthermore, the British government
has declared to the cabinet at Washing
ton that it did not propose to accept the
intervention Of any power, the Swiss fed
eraf council, to its regret, must also re-
nounce the idea of taking any steps on
the lines of the request made by the
presidents of the South African republics.
There remains for the federal council, in
the circumstances, nothing but to express
it's sincere wish that the bellgerents will
have succeeded, at no too distant date,
In finding a basis for an understanding
honorable to both parties"
REJOICING IN BASUTOLAND.
MAsERU, Basutoland, Wednesday,
March 21.-Everybody in Basutoland re-
ioices in the restoration of telegraphic
communication with Aliwal North.
The proclamation Of Lord Roberts is ap-
parently effective, as the Free Staters
are surrendering to the Basutoland Of
fcials. The occupation Of Thaba Nchu
and Rouxville by the British has pro-
duced an excellent impression, convincing
the Basutos that the authority of the
queen is paramount.
TALKED TO HIS TROOPS.
BLOEMFONTEIN, March 81 - Lord

who were about to rejoin their ship and

WALLACE HITS M'KINLEY
CONSTITUTION IGNORED IN AT
TEMPT TO ESTABLISH COLONIES.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 21-Gen,
eral Lew Wallace, strong Republican,
says:
THE education Of the people lately SO
generously undertaken by the majority
of Republican senators in Washington is
beneftting me. The month during which
their school was to last is not half out,
yet I am able to see what is the matter
with them. 1t is that President McKin-
ley wants to convert the Philippines and
Puerto Rico into colonies and govern them
personally, and though they know as
we'll as the president that there is no
grant of power in the constitution to es.
tablish g. colonial system, they are de-
termined to help him to his wish.
This obliquity Of vision, obsequious-
ness or whatever it may be called is
strange, and I confess not being far
enough advanced in the course of in
struction submitted to me in common
with the people generally to decide
whether it is due to the patronage which
the president always skillfully keeps in
sight and smell of congressional visitors
or to the Caesarian meat they are in the
habit of eating at their o'clock dinners.
81 would suggest a constitutional
amendment as follows:
Section 1.-The United States shall
not in any manner acquire, hold, main
tain, provide for or exercise jurisdiction
or sovereignty over ans iSland, territory
or country now foreign, except Wi j the
consent of the people OF the United States
first had.
Sec. 2-In cases of territorial expan-
sion hereafter proposed the will of the
people Of the United States, required by
the foregoing section. shall be determin
able at elections to be provided by con-
gress, and in every instance the presi-
dent shall proclaim the result, where
upon, If there be a majority for the
proposition. the constitution shall, from
the day of the proclamation, extend to
the island, territory or country admitted
and to it's Inhabitants
Undoubtedly the senators will under,
stand the amendment. Along with their
other superiorities they have an intuition
of such high-wrought microscopic power
as to magnify effects and subject them
to perfect knowledge and appreciation at
sight"

Close Vote.

WASHINGTON March H.-During the
debate in the house today upon the Loud
bill relating to second-class mail matter
there was sharp exchange between Mr..
Mcpherson (Rep., IO) and Mr.. Lentz
Oem., o. over a charge made by the
former that the latter was the attorney
of the lobby which is fighting the hilf.
otherwise the debate was without incl
dent.
Both the friends and opponents of the
measure express the belief that the vote
will be close.
Mr.. Loud has agreed to accept two
amendments, one to increase the number
of sample copies, which newspapers can
send out at second-class rates from 500
to 1000, and the other to limit the pro-
vision requiring newspapers to separate
their mail in addition to those already
in existence to over 5000 circulation.
These are all the concessions he will
make. lie says the debate has strength
ened the bill, and he believes it will pass.
The speakers today were: Mr.. Brom-

Burke CreX.). Bingham (Pa.), Heatwole

Berlin Newspapers Comment Upon
South African War.
BERLIN, March 2.-The Kreuz lei
t,lne. In a remarkable article dealing
with the South African war, says:
1.-THE war has demonstrated the unan-
unity of feeling among the British en-
pire They are al standing together,
through good or through evil report, and
compelling the admiration Of the world.
IT has also shown in a most amazing way
the strength of the imperialistic idea,
having done much IN welding the colo
nies into a veritable empire"
The article criticises the intention of
Lord Roberts to treat the Beers as rebels,
and II censures Rudyard Kipling for en-
couraging the British to deal with them
still more harshly, despite the fact that
England never fought a more gallant
foe. 1t concludes with the declaration
that Cecil Rhodes, after his arrival in
London, will decide the fate of the Beers.

and, searching German vessels in South

both sides, and will soon come to salts

ficials of the Federation OF Labor to
make known his personal views concern
ing an eight-hour work day. The labor
leaders calfed to discuss the outlook for
legislation on the eight-hour bill, the bill
against convict made goods, and that
limiting the issuance Of inJunctions by
federal courts.
Although several OF the members of the
delegation preferred to place the injunc-
ton bill foremost 1t was the final view
of Mr.. Gompers and all his associates
that the eight-hour measure should be
first to receive attention from congress.
This led Speaker Henderson to express
his personal views on the eight-hour qYas-
tion. lie said he had always believed
that the product of a man working eight
hours day was much better than that of
a man compelled to work longer hours.
No time was set for taking up the
eight-hour legislation, as the callers made
no request in that line.
