proud.

Sincerity Of Imperial Government
Is Doubted By Diplomats.
AMERICA MAY BE HOODWINKED
Report Comes That the Orientals
Have Voluntarily Begun Pun
ishment Of Boxer Leaders.

A London special says: Beyond a
number Of imperial edicts, which
throw into still worse confusion the
complicated Chinese situation, there
was little in Sundays news to arrest
attention. From Shanghai comes an
uncon6rmed report that the allies have
seized Shan Hal Kwan.
All the news with regard to the edicts
emanates from Shanghai. According
to these adyices, in addition to the
edicts ordering Grand Councillor Kun
Kang to offer oblations before the
coffin of Baron Won Ketteler and the
edict directing that Ii Hung Changes
entire plan be followed in regard to
the punishment of the princes and
high ministers of state responsible for
the anti-foreign Outrages, and the
decree ordering that funeral honors
be paid in Pekin and Toxic to the
remains Of Suglyama Akira, the muir
dered chancellor of the Japanese lega-
ton, Emperor Kwang Su has addressed
further letters to the car and the mi
kado renewing his request for their
aid in the peace negotiations.
Various opinions are expressed as to
the importance of the edicts and the
sincerity of the Chinese. While these
edicts have promulgated, however,
feverish war preparations are still re-
ported from Shanghai, and new APP
pointments have been made to the
Chinese army and navy.
"The Chinese Official Gazette has
resumed publication, says the Pekin
correspondent of The London Morn
ing Post, writing September 25th,
"and contains an order directing the
Pekin officials to follow the court I'M
less their duties here prevent them
leaving"

Tie Arteiswlnming.

When one wants to swim with the
back up, Il Is necessary 10 make some
effort to keep the head I'D, Tor most Of
its bulk must then be above the sur
face In order TO breathe. II Is the
arms which do this part Of the work,
not the legs, as Is 20 often believed.
1t Is a common error for inexperienced
swimmers to suppose that all Of their
progress Is due to the efforts Of the
arms, and that the feet arc used sim
ply to support the weight. On the
contrary, It Is almost exactly the Op-
poslte way, and the prevalence Of this
misconcepHon by women accounts
frequently for their inability to swim
rapidly Many OF them simply flop
their legs straight up and down after
they have learned to support them
selves in the water, mad then wonder
that their arms become so tired and
that they make so little progress as
compared with their masculine
friends.-J- +. Paret in Harper's

ALLEGED SECRET MARRIAGE
Causes Pistol Duel Between Young Men
at East Point, Ga.

causes PISTOL Duel Between Young Men
at East Point, Ga.
As the result of the alleged secret
wedding of Walter Hudson to Miss
Ruby Harrington, both of East Point,
Ga, young Hudson and Sheffield Har-
rington, the yonng lady's brother, lie
dangerously wounded by pistol shots
at their homes in East Point, while
George Hudson. the sixteen year old
brother of Walter, is confined in cell
in the Tower at Atlanta.
The shooting occurred in the little
village Friday morning. Harrington
received four wounds, one in the shout
der, one in the thigh, one grazing the
abdomen and the fourth, which is said
to be the one likely TO cause his death,
directly in the abdomen.
Hudson, who is twenty years of age,
was hit only once, a bullet striking
him in the chest on the left side, just
below the heart The bullet struck a
rib and glanced around the side.

Of Hudson and Miss Harrington. The
young couple, it is said, have been
very much attached to each other, and
their relations had caused consider.
able comment. About two weeks ago
Miss Harrington, or Mrs. Hudson, in
company with her mother, left home
very suddenly for Waynesboro to visit
the young lady's father, who is mana
ger of large oil mill at that place.
After she left, it is said, there was
considerable speculation as to the
cause of her departure, and Mr.. Har-
rington began an investigation. It is
alleged that he discovered the young
couple were married. He wentto Mr..
Hudson and demanded that he send for
his wife and bring her home.
At this point the stories differ.
Perry Thompson, Miss Harrington s
or Mrs Hudson's brother.in-Iaw, said
that Mr.. Hudson told Mr.. Harrington
that he could not afford to announce
the wedding, as his uncle objected and
it might cause him some embarrass-
ment in his business relations.
Mr.. Hudson, it is alleged, said thai
he had never married Miss Harrington
and refused to send for her.

BRANCH JAILED AT ATHENS
Negro Who Killed Bell and At
tempted to Assassinate Nc
Lanahan and Wife Caught.

A-aihiihH anu WIG ghuRuls
William Branch, colored, who shot
and killed George Bell at Elborton,
Ca, Thursday morning, was caught
in Athens Friday, where, It is under
stood, he has confessed the deed, also
to shooting G. II. McLanahau and his
wife Thursday night while they were
asleep.
Since the former report Of the shoot
ing it is learned that Branch went 10
McLanahan's house and watched him
and his wife retire, getting his bear
ings through an open window.
When Lanahan and his wife had
been in bed about ten or fifteen min
utes, the lights having been put out
and the window left open, Branch, ac-
cording to his own confession, walked
up to the window and deliberately
shot the parties because McLanahan
had shot at him that morning after he
had killed Bell.
Governor Gambler stated Friday
night that no call had been made on
him by the county officers at Athens
for trtops to protect the life of Branch.
The question OF his removal from
Athens, where he was captured, to Ell
berton, thirty miles away, where the
murder was committed, was apparently
left by tho arresting officers to Cover
nor Gambler.
The chief executive stated when
approached on this subject that he
had absolutely no authority to say
what disposition should be made of
Branch and that it was a question for
the Judge of the superior court of the
western circuit to determine. Until
called upon FOR troops and the call has
been granted and the negro is in pos
session of the military the governor
can exercise no initiative.

A prominent north Alabama politi-

that General Wheeler aspires to the
senatorship, but that he is friendly to
Senator Pettus, whose term expires
two years from this time, and will not
oppose him. Senator Pettus is under

substantial aid in his military Ospira-

CHINA ACCEPTS OUR SUGGESTIONS.


Important news reached Washing
ton Saturday afternoon, which in itself
tends to advance materially the efforts
for q final settlement. China has ac-
cepted the suggestions of the United
States contained in the answer to the
German proposition, and has begun
voluntarily the punishment of the re-
dictionary Chinese leaders who were
responsible for the Pekin outrages.
The department of state was informed
by Consul General Goodnow, at Shang-
hal, that Sheng, Chinese director of rail-
ways and telegraphs, has handed him
a decree of the emperor and empress,
dated at Talgnan, September 25th,
blaming their ministers for encourage
ing the boxers. The edict orders the
degradation OF four princes and de-
prives Prince Tuan of his salary and
official servants. He is to be brought
for trial before the imperial clan court.
It will berecalled that in our answer
the state department was careful to
state that while it did not believe in
demanding the surrender of the Chi
nese ringleaders as a condition prece-
dent to negotiations, it was resolved
firmly, as Secretary Hay had said in
his note of July 3D., that in the end
tho guilty parties should be held to
the uttermost accountability. The
Chinese government has taken this in
timation to heart, and perhaps hasten
ed in lis action by the recent manifes-
tations of dissatisfaction by the United
States government at the reported pro-
motion Of Prince Tuan, already has
begun the punishment of him and the
other Chinese leaders who are held
guilty.
RUSSIA WTrHDRAWS FROM PEKIN.
At the conference of generals at
Pekin on September 25 the Russian
commander, General Linevitch, an
nounced the immediate withdrawal
from Pekin of the bulk of the Russian
troops and the legation. There will
remain a mixed force of about 1900 to
represent Russia.
