AFTER the president was shot Fritz
Huffman, OF Wichita told OF An
tonic Maggie, who was a cornet player
in the Andrews opera company. Last
March Maggie told Huffman that
President Mckinley would be killed
before October, that his death had
been ordered. Huffman says that
Maggie left the company and went &c
Silver City, where he played a cornet
in a saloon. George Blair tells the
Liberal that he knew Maggie, who
used 10 talk anarchy, when he thought
his listeners we're men Of discretion.
The LIBERAL is informed that Maggie
was one Of the interim editors Of the
Enterprise, filling up the time be.

the several editors. and the hiring Of
a new one. The Enterprise had sew

THE COchise county supervisors
raised the assessment OF the Copper
Queen mine to something over four
millions Of dollars, more than the as
sessment on the United Verde, the
Arizona, the Detroit or the Globe
mines. The Copper Queen owners,
who have fought assessments before,
will fight this assessment. AS the
taxes Cochise county has to pay to the
territory are based on the original as
sessment the county will be in trouble
II this assessment does not stick.
The county will owe the territory
more than all its collections viii
amount to without the payment OF
the Copper Queens assessment.

THE territorial board OF equaliza-
lion is ia session at Santa Fe this
week. II the board has the power TO
do so, and the inclination, it would be
well 10 overhaul the assessments in
various counties and equalize them.
Some Of the counties 10 the southern
portion OF the territory, particularly
Grant and Luna, pay much more than
their proportion Of the territorial tax,
because their assessors make a closer
aud betrer assessment than do the as
SCISSORS OF many other counties.

The country was shocked last Fri
day, when the news was flashed over
the country that President Mckinley
had been killed at the Pan-A merican
exposition at Buffalo. The people
we're relieved when the later news
came that the president was not
dead, and there was a show for his
pulling through. The president was
holding a reception ia the Temple OF
Music, and the people we're passing
in a procession, shaking hands. A
man came along with bis right hand
10 a bandage, he reached up his left
hand to shake, and as the president
was shaking his hand he shot him
twice with a revolver hidden under
the bandage OF his right hand. The
president stepped back, was helped
to a seat. The ambulance was called,
aud he was taken to the hospital on
the grounds, where il was found that
one bullet had glanced on his breast
bone, and the other entered the aldo.
man. 1t was Immediately decided to
operate on him, TO which he consent
ed. II was found the bullet had
passed through the stomach, and
lodged 10 the muscles OF the back,
making no other p%erforations of the
lntestines than the wounds in the
stomach. The president rallied
nicely from the operation, and has
continued to improve. He Is now
practically out OF danger. The as
sailant vas Immediately arrested.
His name is Leon Czolgosz, a native OF
Detroit, of Polish ancestry. He
claims TO be an anarchist, and com
mitted bis vile deed for the good Of
the cause.

A WILD SHOT WENT HOME.
An Intending Peacemaker, in Chi cago, Fired a Random Shot
 and Killed a Man.

Chicago, June 25.-A man whose in tentions apparently were those of a peacemaller, became manslayer shortly before midnight, when Will. jam Moriarity, bill poster, was shot to death.
 There had been a quarrel and a fight, in which three non-combatanl $ were injured. Bricks and stones were flying through the air as four bill pos ters, one of whom was Moriarity, fought out a grievance that had its source in Moriarity's discharge from the services of the bill posting com pany. The man who did the shootino was standing on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street. When the fight was at it's worst he was seen to draw revolver from his pocket and advance to the center of the street where he hesitated. Then, raising the pistol, without apparent aim, he fired. and the bullet struck Moriarity be- tween the eyes. The man fell dead and the slayer ran away, escaping.

 ''The wheat has come into ear on remarkably short stems, and the ears will not fill without more moisture.
 Tn France the spring corn is less promising.
 Wheat cutting has begun in south ern Spain. The provinces of Andl- lusia and Murcia expect fine yields, and the promise in central and north CTS Spain is excellent. The wheas crop in central Europe is very prom ising on the confints of the Adriatic. and very bad indeed on the confines of the Baltic, indicating that Crotia and Hungary will have a good crop, while Prussia and Prussian Poland will have serious deficiency.

NEW TARIFF STOPS TRADE.
Distressing Reports Concerning Con- ditions Prevailing in Guam
 Confirmed.

Manila, June 25.-The schooner Es- meralda, which has just arrived here from Guam, brings confirmation of the distressing reports in circulation regarding the conditions prevailing in that island. The new tariff stops trade and it is asserted that the people will starve unless they receive government support.
 Because of the theft of barrel of whisky from the hospital stores and owing to his inability to discover the offenders, Commander Shredder, the governor of Guam, issued a proclama- tion lamenting the prevalence of hood lumism, and On account of the puni- tive and disciplinary measures adopt ed, 75 marines fled from the barracks and hid in the interior of the island. Seventy-two of these men were recap tured, and were awaiting trial by court-martial when the Esmeralda sailed.
