KINDNESS WAS CRIMINAL.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. IA special to the Times from Victoria says: Lieu tenant von KrOhn, a German officef who arrived at Yokohama in company with thre5 hundred wounded and IT.. capacitated Germans and others on the steamer Korn, chartered by the German government, In an interview given at Yokohama, said regarding the report that the Russians had dis patched the wounded with the butts of their rifles, that IL was not as bad as that, but under the circumstances of the present war in China they had been or probably would in future be com pell5d to kill the wounded with Eayo- nets. In the beginning they had even sent the wounded to the hospitals in Tien Tsin, but they soon found out that as long as a man was able to raise a hand he would try and stab the foreigners. Frequently they found Boxers who had taken their red badges and clothes off in the hope of trying the amigo trick on them and while the trick worked al first, the allies soon gave orders to kill every Chinese wlfo could stand. The Chinese in turn decapitate and nutilate every for eigner who may be wounded or killed and who is unfortunate enough to fall into their hands.

WILLY ORIENTALS
Their Stipulations Will Be Given No
 Attention in Washington.

Washington, Aug. 1.--The Chinese Imperial government is putting forth most powerful efforts to secure through negotiations the abandon ment of the international movement upon Pekin. Cablegrams received at the state department today from Earl Li Hung Chang all tend to demon- strate his desire to secure the succOr of the ministers at PekAl and their de- livery at Tien Tsin. if this can be safely effected, trusting that in return the international column can be halt cd. Unquestionably proper assurance of the safe delivery of the ministers would have some effect upon the tenn per of the powers and it is possible that the United States government would give ear to overtures in that di- ,rection were not an attempt made by the Chinese to impose conditions upon the delivery that are altogether ob- jectiOnable.
 Such, for instance, is the stipulation that the Chinese imperial authorities shall be absolutely absolvad from the consequences of the attempt and for liability for what has taken place in 'Pekin. The first stipu'ation might be regarded as a direct invitation to the

AN OUTSIDERS VIEW
He Feels No Interest in the
 Bond Question.
Yet He Admits That if He Were a Settler He Would Hold Differ ent Opinion As to 'Niggers in Woodpiles "

An illustration of the spread of sen timent in favor of the issuing of water storage bonds is given in the remarks of a gentleman on the subject yester- day. Said he in the beginning: 'I do not want to be quoted. for I have no interest whatever in the matter. I do not own a business block "a ranch or a house and lot in the valley. I have some ready money and I have some money well secured by mortgage on town property. I do not expect to make Phoenix my home and do not care, SO far as my worldly welfare is concerned. whether the valley ever has water storage or not. It is of no finan- cial interest to me that there should be any water in any canal. I should inn agine, though, that if I owned any thing here I would want a permanent
 water supply, something I could count
 upon from one year to another. I have been reading The Republicans argu- ments in favor of bonding and will say candidly that though they are sound and in favor of the best interests of the

IGNORED MARQUETTE
Statue of the Great French Explorer
 to Be Erected.

Mackinac Island, Mich, Aug. 1.-The celebration here today of Marquette Day. was marked by a large attend ance and an elaborate programme of speeches on the life and services of Father Marquette was carried out. The celebration was held under the auspices of the Marquette Monument associa- tion and the purpose was to arouse in- terest in the project of erecting a statue in honor of the memory of the great explorer in State park Judging from the large amount of public interest all ready manifested the project bids fair to succeed. Prominent among the pro- moters of the movement are such well known men as Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Mayor Maybury of Detroit, Peter White of Marquette, Bishop Foley of Detroit, James L. Blair of St. Louis, w. J. Onahan and Franklin Mac Veagh of Chicago, James H. Dormer of Buffalo and George w. Peck of Mil waukee.

PLANNED IN NEW JERSEY
The Murder of King Humbert Was
 Plotted at Paterson.

Rome, Aug. 1.-Bressie, the anarchist who murdered King Humbert, was brought before a magistrate today under heavy guard It is the general belief that he is the chosen tool of q conspiracy though in the course of the examination he would not admit that he had been designated to assassinate King Humbert. It is now believed that the crime was arranged in Paterson. N. J. A man named Salvatore Quin- taralli, who returned from the United States with Bressie, and accompanied him to an anarchist meeting in Paris, has been arrested at Rio Marina on the Island of Elbe. The police found on him letters and photographs of anar- chists Antone and Lanner, who accom- panied Bressie from the United States. have been arrested at Ivra. In conse- quence of these arrests the belief in the existence of a plot is increasing.

settler, I would oppose the plan for the reason that I am not settler and don't expect to be, water or no water. The water would. no doubt, make my land, if I had any, more valuable and productive, but il could not add one cent to the value of a single gold dollar I own. So you see where I stand. As strong arguments in favor of The Re
 publican's plan as I have seen yet are all the foolish arguments made against it. The opposition does not seem to understand the plan or else wilfully misr5 presents it. Now, for instance, I notice that there is some talk about a nigger in the woodpile and bond deals. I do not see a woodpile in which a nigger could hide. or the opportunity for a bond deal, if I understand The Republican proposition, and l think I do I believe the plan, is after all the details have been agreed upon for the security of the county and water users and after congressional authority has been obtained to submit the bend ing question. If the bonds should be authoriz5d by the people, the county supervisors would order them printei and sign them. They would then be turned over to the reservoir people at such time as might be agreed upon, either after the reservoir was con- structed and approved or even before. if consistent with security, and they would be received in exchange either preferred stock or reservoir bonds. The county would not have to sell the bonds or appoint anybody to sell them. There would be no commission to be paid: no juggling or manipulation. The transaction would be as simple as the purchase of a watermelon. The rsser- voir people, I understand, would have to realize upon the bonds and it would certainly be nobody elses business if they juggled with them, provided the valley was getting a permanent water
