HEARS OF ASSASSINATION.

Tears Roll Down Face of General Cor
 bin on Arriving From Philippines.
 Victoria B. C., Sept. 19.-On the steamer Empress of India, which has arrived from the Orient, was Major General Henry c. Corbin of the United States Army, returning home from the Philippines. It was not until the liner was tying up at William Head Quaran- tine Station that General Corbin was made aware of the assassination of President Mckinley.
 As the details were conveyed on board by the Victoria papers the frame of the soldier trembled with emotion and soon the tears were rolling down his cheeks. He said the news had come upon him with such suddenness he was too prostrated to speak.

the past week than Col. F. w. Frank. as

quarters, ana this task has kept not only
himself, but several assistants. busy day
and night. The s~moothness with which the
business of the camp has proceeded has
been largely due to Colonel Franks close

has a valuable assistance from Lieut..

Mckee was asked about this alleged
break he suddenly became r%eticent, and
when pressed for a statement on the sub

they should have waited until after the
