SHOOTING OF LAZARE LEVY.

It is with regret that we learn OF
the killing of Mr.. Lazare Levy,
owner Of the Cote Blanche Island,
recently sold to development Com
pany. We know nothing of the de-
tails Of the murder, but from what
we can gather, Mr.. Levy was shot
down in cold blood without a chance
to defend himself or moments warn
ing. We trust the coroner's jury will
bring out the facts in the case and
that the guilty parties may be brought
before the Grand Jury, who will
probe the case to the bottom that JUS
tice and law may be vindicated and
murder punished. Mr.. Levy was to our
knowledge genial polished gentleman
one who had large interests in our
State, and who was actively engaged
in the development Of the resources
Of st. Mary Parish. To be cut off in
the prime of life by an assassin is a
fate too monstrous to contemplate, and
should be dealt with most rigidly.

DENY aNrr-roRrcEN SENTIMENT
Situation In China Defined by Associate
n Press Correspondent.

San Francisco. May s.--The Pekin
correspondent Of the Associated Press.
writing und .r date OF April 9. says that
the alarming stories emanating from
certain quarters. TO the effect that a
massacre OF foreigners by Chinese is
contemplated, is untrue.
The correspondent writes that the re-
verse Of this picture exists In Pekin.
Never since the legations were estab-
llshere here have foreigners gone about
the capital ond surrounding countries
50 free from molestation and Insult.
The tolsration is inspired BY the
knowledge OF the foreigners power to
hold his yroud. j
Whatever attacks upon foreigners
might De made. all evidence tends TO
show that they would be against the

OF Pekin and Tien Tsin is concerned,
the yiceroy. Yan Shi Kali, controls
large ana effective force Of soldiers,
well drilled. equipped with modern
arms and honestly paid. His dispose
ton has been proved by the promptness
with which he ferreted out the occas-
ionaI feeble attempts to revive the box
er propaganda in this, province and
punished the agitators. cutting OFF their
heads for merely starting anti-foreign
gossip.
However. important influences are
present to increase Chinese hatred OF
Europeans. One is the Inevitable fric-
tion between the natives and soldiers
OF foreign garrisons and the oppres-
sions soldiers inflict upon the people.
who are helpless to resist. Another
is the presence OF large body of
camp followers. composed of the low

is the growing snimosity against the
Chinese Christians by the compatriots
who were compelled to pay indemni-
ties for the losses suffered by Christians
during the reign of boxerism.
The only insurection which has
reached serious proportions recently Is
that at Kwangsi II started more as
labor riot than political demon
stration from the desperation of an un-
paid and hungry army, robbed by its
officers. Crop failures have reinforc-

and is giving the government great
uneasiness, but 1t has been confined to

Leaders.

Chicago, May s,-Peace negotiations
between he Deering Harvester COM

1t is a refusal of the mems demands

asked for wage increase, better hours
and improved sanitary conditions. All

was practical refusal to consider the
demands Of the men.
