NEW YoRHs SYRIAN COLONY.
Discusses the Assassination Of Consul
Magelssen Yesterday.


New York, Aug 2S.-Tn the large
Syrian colony of this city the news OF
the assassination OF Vice Consul Ma
geIssen, at Beirut, Syria, caused much
comment It was believed that he
had either fallen a victim to the fa1at-
ical hatred of Mussulman for
Christian or because Of his efficient
and earnest labors in behalf of his
country and countrymen.
Chancellor MacCracken, of the New
York university, who has just returned
from Beirut, said:
ssThe murdered vice consul was
prompt, Intelligent and able in the
transaction of business. The Ameri-
can consulate under his chief and him.
self easily held the first place in repu-
tation among the foreign consulates
In Beirut. The Syrian Protestant coli
lege, which exists under a board OF
trustees chartered by the state Of New
York, found the vice consul a helpful
friend He promoted zealously a
field day held this year and helped to
secure the attendance of the governor
of Lebanon, who came with full staff
and military band playing American
national airs
'sMagelssen's courage in pursuing
criminals probably caused the assas-
sination. Old residents of Beirut had
assured him that for Christians to ap-
pear in court against Moslems to tes-
tify to their crimes was to invite as
sassination. A recent murder of a
man in American employ has been
left almost without inquiry because
witnesses were completely terrorized.' -

\ Summer Trip Unsurpassed on The

The trip to Salt Lake City or TO
the PucJGc Coast via that point

the most beautiful in America.
No European trip oil equal length
can compare with it in grandeur
of scenery or wealth OF novel in

is a most quaint and picturesque
place and well worth the journey.
Its Mormon temple, tabernacle,

Its Great Salt Lake-deader and
