HIT WRONG MAN.
Correct Story Of American
German Shooting at Pekin.
Narrow Escape Of Many Chinese from
Wholly Undeserved Punishment.
Only Through United States Officials Efforts
Are They Now Alive.

Washington. July 15.-The last mail
from the East has brought detailed
newspaper account of the shooting af-
fray at Pckin which has resulted in a.
German claim against the United
States. The account which appears in
a japanese newspaper states that an
American sentry had beer posted ut
the western extremity Of Donation
street close to where the new Ameri-
can legation is building.
That portion Of the legation was be
ing newly macadamiZed and rolled. a
baIricadc had been put up and Major
Robertson had placed a sentry OF the
spot to warn persons not to ride over
the newly made road, pedestrians only
being allowed to traverse it.
\ German officer came riding along
knocked down both the sentry and the
barricade and gallcped across the for
hidden route. The sentry scrambled
to his feet and sent q shot after the
officer, but missed. and the bullet
lodged in the leg of a German sentry
standing on duty half way down the
street.
The newspaper says that the Amer
lean was sentenced to one months i'm
prisonment and fined one months pay,
presumably for hitting the wrong
nan"
1t is now apparent from mail re-
ports which have just reached the state
department from China that it was
solely through the modera ton and hu-
mainly exercised by the United States
representatives at Pekin in the early
negotiations for a settlement of the
Boxer trouble. that a number of inno-
cent lives were not sacrificed.
These reports show that more so
Der and painstaking inquiry has de
veloped the fact that some of the Chi
nese officials supposed to have been
whose capital punishment was de
manded by the foreign ministers. have
been proved to be entirely innocent of
the charges made against them. In
many other cases proof has been ad-
duced that the offences with which the
Chinese officials were charged were
not nearly SO grave as was supposed
at fist by the foreign representatives
in Pekin.
Thus it is argued here by officials as
d matter of congratuIationt that Messrs.
Conser and Rockhill moved with de-
liberation and acted as a restraining
influence in the matter of punishments.
for not only were these lives saved but
under their influence the whole list Of
capital offences We're reduced from 10
to four and mitigation of other offences
were obtained.

Sawyer's store was entered by bur
glars, Sunday night, and Il lively half

President awaits the funeral rites. The
assassin's bullet has robbed il Of lie; il
has robbed us Of our chief. "a great
calamity has fallen upon us; all earth
stands appalled, at the crime. The ma
tionis bowed down in grief and the
liberty-loving of all lands are grieving
with us.
The shot fired by this misguided and
disorded mind was not directed at Will

tender-hearted man-not at William Nc
Kinley, the honorable, upright and trust
worthy citizen, but at William Mckinley,
the President of our Nation. 1t was
a shot at all constitutional governments
And could a cause be more lacking?
Peace. plenty, prosperity and harmony
in the highest degree prevail all over our
land. The guiding hand had stcered
the nation well through many perplex-
ing emergencies. The light ahead gave
promise Of peace and.rest. The voice Of
the people had approved Of the course
OF the administration. Our President
was Of the highest type of manhood.
Born in the middle walks of life, his in
heritance a Christian mothers teaching
and industrious and m%ethodical habits,
with only those possibilities before him
that lie in the path Of every American
citizen, BY his W energy and integrity
this forceful man has raised himself to
be the foremost Of his time. With his
ear and heart always close TO the people
he was ever ready to extend the welcome
hand to the most humble. And yet,
while surrounded by those loved, this
vile viper of anarchy has stung him to
his death. Our chief is dead; but the
ranks are closed and the Nation, without
faltering, moves steadily forward.
On Thursday, Sept. 10, the body OF
President Mckinley will be laid in its
last earthly resting place. President
Roosevelt has appointed this day as a
day Of PRAYER and mourning throughout
the United States. Let all public Offices
and schools be closed. Let us pause in
our business on that day and pay a last
tribute Of love and respect to the body
of our fallen President.
All flags on public buildings Of the
