Fatality NearWhitebird.

Fatality NearWhitebird.
A gentleman named Meade was
shot and instantly killed last
Saturday about ten miles north
east of Whitebird while hunting
deer. 1t seems that on Friday,
Mr.. Mead, with his brother-in-law
Richey, had started hunting and
that evening they were joined by
a neighbours boy about 16 years old
named Griffith. They all camped
together aud started out the next
morning following some deer
tracks.
They became separated and in
the mean time Mr.. Mead had
killed rabbit which he was car
rying over his shoulder. Young
Griffith was not aware of this and
hearing a slight noise in the bushes
saw the fur of the rabbit which he
took for deer and fired, the ball
passing entirely through Mead's
body, killing him instantly.
Mr.. Mead was about "a or 25
years old and leaves a wife to
mourn his tragic death. All of
the parties were comparative
strangers at Whitebird, having
moved there from southern Idaho
this fall. The young man who
did the shooting is almost pros
trated with grief.

CLEAR UP THE SITUATION
Members of Tsung-li-Yamen Ready
to Treat.

Washington, August 2s.-The i'm,
portant dispatch of the day was one
from Minister Conger, relative to the
military situation in Picking. Unfor-
tunately,- it lacked a date, the minister
presumably not having yet received
the departments instruction to in
clude the date in the body of his dis,
patches. The state department, con-
Guiding from internal evidence, that
Mr.. Conger's message was certainly
later than any official emanation from
the Chinese capital, the message wa7
allowed publicity for what it yse'
worth. A significant statement

specting the expected appearance inN
Peking of some of the members of
the tsung-li-yamen. A natural con-
struction to be given to this state
ment is that these ministers wish to
undertake to represent the Chinese
government formally in negotiations
with the powers. 1t having been
found impossible up to this moment,
according to Mr.. Conger's statement,
to meet any representative of the
Chinese government in Picking who
was competent to open negotiations,
it may be inferred that if these min
listers actually appear with proper Gre
dentials, one of the problems con-
nected with the present difficult stu
alton will be solved. With some re-
sponsible person or persons to deal
with, it may be possible.

Milan, Aug. 31.-The trial of Bresci,

places were reserved for the ticket

for the defense. The examination of

events in Milan and Sicily "to avenge
the misery of the people and my own.
l acted without advice or accompli-
ces." The prisoner admitted target
practice and the preparation of bull
let's. He spoke in low, firm voice,
and said he fired three shots at three
yards with his revolver. While the
Indictment. which is very long, was
being read, Bresci was apparently I'M
moved and scanned the faces of the
audience without any signs of fear
or etfrontery. The Indictment show
ed the assassin was incessant at tar
get practice and that he prepared
bullets so as to render them more
dangerous. Witnesses then gave tes-
timony regarding the killing of the
king, after which Bresci asked to be
sentenced. saying he was Indifferent
and awaited the next revolution. He
was sentenced to life imprisonment.

NEW MENACE TO CHINA.
Some Of the Powers Have Secret Plans
for Settling the Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 30.-State depart
ment officials are now convinced that
the territorial integrity of China is
seriously menaced by the secret plans
of some of the powers whose armies
are operating in the yellow empire.
Two important features of the situa-
ton have just become known. The
first is that the identical note add
dressed to the powers last week, ask
ing for an outline of their purposes
with reference to China, was occa-
stoned by Admiral Remeys reports
that some of the admirals at Taku.
in conference, had agreed to hold Ii
lung Chang prisoner on board ship,
denying to him the privilege of COM
municating with his master, the en-
peror. Following the report of the
French admiral to this effect, made
public in Paris. the state department
let out the fact that it had been in
possession of the news for several
days, with the added information that
Admiral Remey had refused to become
signatory to the agreement of the
admirals. The Russian admiral also,
it is stated on good authority, de-
clined to become a party to the reso-
ton. which was drawn and signed
by the French, German, British and
Italian commanders.

.NEW GENERAL
CONSIDERS DIPLOMATIC SIDE.
Cabinet Holds q Long Session on this
Chinese Question.

u Z y .
Washington, Aug. 31.--A special
meeting of the cabinet, lasting all
day and broken only by a short re-
cess for luncheon, marked the in
tense interest the administration
feels in the Chinese problem. The
diplomatic and not the military
phase of the situation in China was
under consideration, and this ac-
counted for the presence of Acting
Secretary Adee at the meeting.
1t is understood that the cabinet
yesterday completed preparations of
plan for clearing away much OF
the uncertainty that now exists as
to the future of China, and outlined
it's views in writing. The fact that
the military situation is admitted to
be of secondary Importance confirms
the view, though no cabinet officer
would vouchsafe information on this
point, that what is sought is an agree
ment among the powers for termin-
atng the indefinite status of affairs
in China. It is believed that the point
has been reached where it isproper
that there should be a clear express
sion of purpose on the part of the
principal powers, in order that the
United States government may know
how far it may go consistently in
the execution of the common pro-
gramme. Most of the objects had in
view by the president when he made
answer to the Chinese governments
appeal and began the campaign upon
Picking, have been achieved. Two
others remain to be secured, namely,
the safeguarding of American inter-
has been reached where it is proper
guarantee for indemnifcation for the
expenses of recent operations and
losses of American citizens. Some
plan by which the objects can be at
tanned by the United States, in COM
mon with similar objects by the other
powers engaged in China, is thought

To Feed Sheep at Sioux City.

Sioux City. Aug. 2o.-Arrangements
have been completed for the feeding
of 10000 sheep at the Sioux City
stock yards this winter. The sheep
will be brought by Thuet Bros. from
the ranges of Montana, and it is ex-
pected the first consignment will ar
rive within a few weeks. The feed
for the stock will consist mostly of
screenings of grain from the local
mills. After the sheep are fattened
they will be placed on the market,
thereby furnishing good supplies for
the local packers. This big project
probably will mark the beginning of
a large increase in the amount of
sheep business done at the Sioux City
wards.
