VICE CONSUL WAS
NOT ASSASS|NATED
Unknown Assassin Fired at Him
But Bullets Missed.
REPORT OF KILLING AN ERROR
The President, However, VIII Not
COuntermand Order For Squadron
to Proceed to Turkish Waters
Insuring Protection.

washington, Aug. 29.-A decidedly
new turn in the case of the United
States vice-consul. William c. Magels-
sen, at Beirut, Syria, who was reported
to have been assassinated last Sun
day, developed, Friday, when it be-
came known that the report was in
correct, and that, although Mr.. Magels-
sen had been shot at, he had not even
been injured
This information came to the state
department in dispatch from United
States Minister Leishman, at Constan-
tipople, who said the mistake in max
due to an error in the transmission of
the cipher dispatch from Consul Ravn-
dial, at Beirut, in reporting the incident
to the minister. The dispatch from
the minister was communicated to the
president at once at Oyster Bay, but
up to a late hour last night nothing
had been heard from him on the SUBJ
ject at the state department. It's con-
tents were extremely gratifying to the
officials of the government here, as it
relieved the situation of it's extreme
tension, and leaves the way open for
an amicable and peaceful adjustment
of the incident.
The opinion was expressed that the
attempted assassination of Magelssen
probably would bring matters to To-
Gus, the attention of the Turkish gov
eminent being drawn to the matter in
a forcible way and some effort thus be
made to avoid further trouble.
The denial of the report of the kill
ing of Mr.. Magelssen relieves the stu
alton of it's immediate awkward and
embarrassing feature, but will not pre-
vent our naval vessels continuing to
the east. Minister Leishman, in one
of his dispatches to the department,
suggested that conditions were such
that it might be well to have some
American naval demonstration in
those waters.
Acting Secretary Darling, Friday
night, received cablegram from
Admiral Cotton, dated ViI1efranche,
saying that he had left that place with
the cruisers Brooklyn and the San
Francisco, for Genoa, on the way to
Beirut.

POSTAL ODDITIES.

With one exception there has been a
deficit in postal revenues every year
since 1885.
Thousands of letters are mailed ev-
cry day without the vestige of an ad-
dress to indicate for whom they are in
tended.
Mail matter of any kind addressed
in vague and indefinite way, such as
to 'the most prominent physician"
ETC., is not deliverable.
Benjamin Franklin, first postmaster
general, boasted that under his admin
istration all the cities of the country
had been provided with weekly mail.
One may mail letter destined for
foreign parts without prepayment of
postage. 1t will go forward to destina-
ton, and the recipient will be required
to pay double rates for the privilege of
reading it if he values it sufficiently.
At the Chicago post Office record is
kept of the different ways of spelling
the name of that city on mail address
es. AT last accounts $50 varieties had
been tabulated. Among the less intri-
cate of these are Zizazo, Jagjago, Hipa-
