congress for suggestions as to the best
method of getting the exhibit together.

Money Was Concealed.
Especial to The FIeraid.1

Ogden. Aug sc W. Sells, who rooms
at 257 Twenty-fourth street. was shot in
the head by a burglar at an early hour this
morning. The wound is not serious
Sells was awakened by the presence Of
two burglars in his room. They were
hunting for his trousers, but could not
find them. and when they perceived that
he was awake, one of them drew a gun
and pointing ii at his head ordered him
10 tell them. Sells had concealed his
neither garment, containing his pocket
book. and refused TO give them the de-
sired infOrma ton. When he persisted in
his defiance the man with the gun shot
him. The bullet struck Sells in the
head and glanced off, imbedding itself
in the adobe wall. The wound in the
head was only a slight scalp wound not
at all dangerous, although considerable
blood flowed from it. After the shot the
two men fled. Sells says that one OF
the men was masked. the other was a
young, boyish looking fellow whom he
would recognize if he could see him again
The police were promptly notified and

w ASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The state
w department has received a cable
gram from Minister Leishman at
Ccnstantinople, announcing that VIII
liam c. NIagelssen. United States vice
consul at Beirut, Syria, was assas-
sinated Sunday while riding in a
carriage. The American minister i'm
mediately brought the crime to the at
tention of the government and demand
ed action by Turkey. Acting Secretary
LoOmis today cabled Minister Leish-
man instructing him to demand the
immediate arrest and punishment Of
the persons guilty Of the murder. No
demand for money indemnity for the
mans family has yet been made, but
that probably will follow. Magellssen
was appointed from Minnesota.
Warships in Readiness.
Admiral Cotton, commanding the
European squadron. has been cabled
by the navy department TO have his
vessels in readiness to move to Beirut,
which is on the eastern shore Of the
Mediterranean sea, in case that the
demands of the United States govern
mept upon the Turkish government
are not complied with The Brooklyn
and the San Francisco are at Vile
franche and the Machias is at Genoa
Minister Leishm1n's cablegram was
dated yesterday and stated that the as
saSSinatiOn occurred Sunday the min
lister being informed of the crime bv
Consul Ravudal. The consul stated
that the murderer was not seen and is
not known.
Magellssen, who IS a Scandinavian,
was appointed vice consul at Beirut on
sept. 20, 1899, by Consul Gabriel Bic
Ravudal, who is Of the same national
ity. At the time of his appointment
as vice consul he was a consular clerk
IN Turkey. Maselissen was appointed
on the recommendation Of Senator
Nelson of Minnesota, who says that he
was the son of a prominent Lutheran
minister. He was born at Bratsburg,
Fillmore county, MINI.
Details Are Lacking.
The announcement of the assassina-
ton Of the American vice consul fol-
lowing 50 soon upon the assassination
or Russian consul in Turkey created
strong comment in official circles and
the suggestion was made that such
frequent assassinatiOns indicate a very
disturbed condition of affairs in the
turkish dominions. Minister Leishman
gave no particulars Of the assassina-
ton to the state department. and has
no information as to the cause Of the
murder. The American government
will insist that The local authorities be
punished if they were derelfct in their
duty and that full measure Of punish
ment be given the actual perpetrators
of the outrage.
Beirut is a city on the eastern shore
OF the Mediterranean sea. and is a place
Of considerable commercial Importance.
1t is probable shat the action of the
turkish government and the conditions
existing at Beirut will determines
whether the European squadron shall
be sent to Turkish waters.
Unless the Turkish government acts
promptly upon the demands made bv
the United States government it is ex-
pected that the European squadron will
at once move eastward.
