FRIeHTFuL DEATH.
Whole Top Of Head Of Parsons Was
Knocked Completely off.

Chicago. Dec. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from the City Of Mexico gives
further details Of the accident in which
James Ruell Parsons. United States
consul general. lost his life there Tues
day night.
An open carriage in which he was
driving with Mrs. Parsons and their son
was struck by an electric car. Mrs.
Parsons was slightly injured. The boy
escaped without a scratch. The acct
dent happened while Mr.. Parsons and
his family were going to the Central
station to bid farewell to friends. The
coachman tried to cross a street car
track in front of a rapidly moving car,
which struck the carriage with terrific
force. crushing 1t against a trolley pole.
Mr.. Parsons head struck the post,
the whole top of the head being taken
off When assistance arrived. the body
was lying with the head and shoulders
on the pavement and the feet in the
wreck of the carriage.
Mrs. Parsons was staggering blindly
around, stunned by the shock and NUT
tering incoherent sentences inquiring
where she was and where she was going.
Mama, / think papa is killed" said
James Russell Parsons. Jr.. but Mrs.
Parsons was too dazed to realize the
truth.
Mrs. Parsons Immediately was taken
by friends who happened to be in the
vicinity to her residence, where medical
assistance was given
So far superficial examination failed
to reveal single injury or even bruise
on any part of the boGy except the top
of the head. Not bone is broken. and
except for 'lood stains the face APP
pears perfectly natural Until the po-
lice investigation is concluded there is
no means of fixing the responsibility. as
no actual eye witnesses was close
enough.
The motorman and driver of the
coach disappeared Immediately after
the accident.

CHINESE BOYCOTT

Washington. Dec. Accompanying
by Senator Fulton of Oregon. J. II.
Brown of Portland. who for many years
has been engaged i'm business in Shang-
hal and Tsin Tien. had talk with the
president about the boycott of Ameri-
can products by the Chinese guilds.
Mr.. Brown told the president that the
boycott of American goods was melted
by former American consul in China.
nese government Despite the boycott
the business of the American firms in
China was increasing year by year. and
he expressed the opinion that it would
be quite 20 per cent greater this year
than IL ever was before.
Mr.. Brown suggested to the president
that it probably would not be wise for
this government to show any signs Of
weakening on its stand on the Chinese
exclusion law, because Of the boycott.
as. IL it did. the Chinese at Canton.
f. ON Where immigration to this coun-
try practically came, would resort to
the boycott whenever any action of this
country did not please them.
A dispatch from San Francisco says
that Captain A. c. Baker of the cruiser
Raleigh. who has cen dstaI .Ied for sew
eral months to study commercial and
political conditions in China. was a
passenger on the Manchuria. arriving
fro mthe orient on his way to WASH
ington to lay before the president and
his advi-ers the results OF his invests
cation.
1T is nonsense said Captain Baker.
ito talk of the boycott as dying out.
The commercial situation in the south
Of China is absolutely at the mercy Of
the guilds. There are scventy-one OF
tn Sc and they control trade WITH an
iron hand and they have given orders
not TO handle American goods.
american houses In Canton are full
to the rooof with flour and they cannot
bulge it. In the meantime Australian
merchants are chartering everything
they can get their hands ON to rush
their inferior flour into the market to
take advantage of our difficulty The
boycott is just reaching the interior. for
methods of communication are slow.

BOOKER LAUDs LEE.
He and Dr. nrOOls Speak at Hampton
 Institute.

Newport News. Va, May 2-Dr. John Graham Brooks of Harvard University, and Booker T. Washington of Tusko- gee Institute, were the principal speak CTS at the Virginia Day exercises of the Hampton Institute today.
 The latter, in his remarks paid a glowing tribute to the late Gen. Fitz- hugh Lee, lauding him as a generous and sympathetic friend of the colored race. The speaker expressed the hope that many more like the gallant and idolized Virginian would rise up to make the race problem less difficult of solution. He also declared that while a commonwealth might live with tgnor- ant slaves. 1t was impossible for a State to exist with ignorant freemen. He appealed for greater cooperation between the best elements of both races, and declared that such co-oper- ation in producing sentiment against lynching had reduced that crime from 205 lynchings in 1904 to thirte an Tn the last four months.
 Dr. John Graham Brooks spoke on '"rhe Fruits of Hampton" paying a glowing tribute to the work of the in stitution in Hitting up the negro race to higher ideals. President Boatwrisht of Richmond College and President Blackwell of Randolph Macon also de- livered addresses. The exercises came to close with an address by Robert c. Ogden.
