WIN Avonge Minister. Death.

Berlin, July From well authen-
ticated report the representative Of the
Associated Press is able to state today,
after detailed statement by Count
won Buelow, secretary of state for for
eign affairs, regarding the Chinese sit
uation, Emperor William has made UP
his mind to insist upon full satisfac-
ton for the death OF Baron Won Ket-
teller, for which purpose he has resolved
to send an armed force approximately
as large as those of the other powers
chiefly interested in restoring order
in China.
The precise size of the forces has not
been determined, but it is expected
that they will altogether amount to
score of thousands. A considerable
portion of the German fleet will be sent
also. This is evidenced by the orders
issued tonight to prepare five new bat
tleships for sailing. 1t is understood
that Prince Henry, of Prussia, request
ed the emperor to give him command
of this division, but it is doubtful
whether his majesty will agree to this.

RILEY MAY DIE.
Man Shot on Smoky Row Is Slowly
Getting Worse.

From Tuesdays Daily.
William Riley, the man who was shot
early Monday morning on Smoky Row,
is gradually growing worse, altho at
noon today he appeared to have rallied
to some extent under the medical at
tendance of DIR. A. O. Williams and the
care of the nurses of the Ottumwa hos
pital. This morning DR.. Williams, the
attending physician, examined the pa
tent and found that the bullet had
penetrated just above the left clavicle,
and lodged in the heavy muscles oppo-
site the side from which it entered.
The bullet ranged downward and in
ward, penetrating the upper portion of
the lung and this is what is causing
the patient to eXpectorate quantities
of blood and mucous. After a careful
examination DR.. Williams came to the
conclusion that there is but very little
hope for the man but is doing every
thing that medical and surgical science
Gan suggest.
Riley stated that he was native OF
Canada, but for years he had been a
rover travelling over the greater portion
of this country and but recently came

Jim Todd or Burke, who is charged
with the shooting, was arraigned in
police court yesterday afternoon and
the preliminary hearing set for next
Monday. In the meantime it is thought
that Riley will succumb to his injuries

Todd will be changed to that of mur.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Visited Prospective Encampment
Ground Of Fiftieth Regiment.
THINKSlTIDEALlN EVERYPARTICULAR
ottumwn Sure of Encampmen, Provid.
ing the Necessary Funds Arc Raised
Tho General Will Spend the
Fourth Mt Home.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Adjutant General N. H. Byers was in
the city few hours this morning en-
route from Des Moines TO his home
at Glenwood where he will spend the
Fourth. While here the General was
q guest of Col. III. II. Caughlan and
Capt. D. A. Emery. They visited the
prospective eneampment grounds,
where, in all probability, the next an
nual encampment of the Fiftieth reg
iment, Iowa National Guards will be
held.
The general expressed himself as
heartily satisfied with the location
and convenience of the place selected
by Col. Caughlan, and assured the
regimental officers and the members of
the guard with whom he met while
here that Ottumwa will have the OPP
portunity of entertaining the Fiftieth
regiment this year if it chooses. As
has been previously stated in the Cour-
Ter, it will be necessary for the city to
raise at least 5000. General Byers said
it seemed to be the prevailing opinion
that the encampment should be held
at Ottumwa and he thought surely
the city could raise the necessary
amount to assure it. ''Iowa City and
Newton" he said, ''want the en-.
campment. It has been decided that
it goes to Ottumwa if she will take it,
A regimental camp costs in the
neighborhood of $4,000, but with the
exception of $500 or 5000 which the
city where the encampnent is held
must raise, the balance is paid by the
government.
Financially the encampment will be
a benefit to the city securing it. 1t
means that all the money which IS
raised for the entertainment of the
governor and his staff md other reg.
mental officers will be expended IN the
city, besides hundreds of dollars which
are donated by the government for the
maintenance of the 60 men while in
camp.
It is the policy of "Uncle Sam" to
provide abundantly for the volunteers
in camp, on the theory that better re.
suits can be secured from well fed men
This it is said is also an incentive to get
all the bows out
