differ. 1t is evident from the
verdict that the jury believed
that the two Brattons commit
ted the deed, but that they did
not believe the negro's state
ment as to what John S. Brat
ton said, or believed that state
ment to have been made to mis-
lead the negro, who being on
the spot would be an important
witness. Caldwell also denied
having made the statement
sworn to by Policeman Jenkins
near the Carolina Hotel not
long before the killing. Mr..
Neel's evidence as to the ap-
pearance of the man who did
the shooting and his dress leads
to the belief that Paul Bratton
was the actor. Jenkins affirms
his statement as to his CONVEX
sation with the negro.
Warrants were issued by Mag
istrate T. G. Beckham, who is
acting coroner, for the two Brat
tons, and Caldwell is held to
bail in the sum Of $500 as n
material witness. Messrs. w.
B. DeLoach, w. B. McCaw and
W. w. Lewis attended the in
quest as representing the Brat
tons. 1t has been announced
that they will apply at once for
bail for their clients.
1t is always expected that
such an occurrence will develop
a scandal. There are rumors
floating in regard to this affair,
but no statement indicating such
condition can be had, nor does
the testimony before the cor
oner give the slightest clue to
the reason for such an act.
Neither Paul Bratton nor John
Bratton has attended the in
quest, and no statement from
them in regard to the occurrence
has been made. If any justifi-
cation exists it must be brought
out in another Court.

Caldwell, the negro who was
identified as the driver from

When they found Browns house
the carriage was stopped about

If anything was said by either
of the Messrs. Brattons, wit

he had shot Brown" This
statement was repeated. The
matter was left to the jury, and

"H. A. Brown came to his
death by a pistol shot from the
hands Of Paul r. Bratton and
that John S. Bratton was acces-
sorry thereto. ="

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The State
Department was notified last week
of the fact that the French government
had adopted an attitude similar TO that of
the United States in replying TO the Ger
man note. and that fact was duly reported
by the Associated Press In addition it was
stated that the government OF Russia was
in line with that Of France in this mat
ter. There is a disposition to minimize the
differences between the United States and
Germany on the point OF delivery of the
Chinese ringleaders before negotiations and
ii is pointed out that our only reason for
differing was profound conviction that
deterrent effect could be produced upon the
Chinese people as whole only by allowing
their government to degrade and punish
the guilty parties. The same punishment,
il applied by foreign power. it is said at
the State Department, would utterly fail
of reformatory effect as the Chinese peo-
pie would venerate the memory of the
martyrs, while the Chinese government.

to reward and punish after death, might

INSPIRED GERMAN VIEWS.
How the Reply of the United States
Is Regarded by the Government.

COLOGNE, Sept. 2l.-The Koinische Zei-
tung publishes an inspired telegram In
which the Washington governments reply
to the German note is characterized as
a manifest effort to assist the Chinese gov
ernment to accept the proposals with re-
gard to the punishment OF the leaders
in the Chinese trouble The telegram
points out that though the American re-
ply shows indulgent disposition, it must
not be deduced therefrom that the Wash
ington government thinks the United
States's trade and missionary interests re-
quire less careful protection than those
of the other powers, but that the United
States government is compelled to be in
dulgent owing TO the unfavorable effect
on the situation in the Philippines caused
by the transfer of troops from those islands
to China. AS a matter OF fact the tele-
gram adds. a vigorous and exemplary pun
ishment OF the guilty counselors of the
Chinese court will be I'm accordance with
the interests of both American trade and
missionaries. For a settlement between
the powers and China 1t makes no differ
ence. however, asserts the telegram
whether America co-operates any further
or not. Forces sufficient for all emergen-
cies will remain available to secure the
expiation demanded by the civilized world.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2-Instead Of
fhe expected clash between the troops and

and there was not the slightest disorder for

fact In all the districts OF the anthracite

there being no demonstration whatever on
the part OF the strikers. While the oper-

day evident that operations did not as

had yesterday anticipated. and indications

roads leading to the collieries in Schuylkill
