lieved to be a discharged soldier of the
Twenty fifth infantry, who shot and Seri-
ously wounded Captain Edward B. Mack
Lis a week ago. 1t is believed here, how
ever, that he has secured definite infor-
nation and that the assailant will be in
custody within short time.
Major PenrOse says that Captain Mack

many weeks to restore his health.
Feeling Runs High.

cial feeling still prevails here over the
assault upon Mrs. T. S. Clifford, wife
of prominent physician, by negro yes

positively declines to discuss the affair
at this time it is understood from other
army sources that all of the regulars have

chased his cast-off uniform. 1t is under

CAUSE OF WORRY
To THE BRITISH
United States Has Not Accept
ed Appointment of James
Bryce as Ambassador.

London, Dec. 2S.-The United States is
causing British officialdom considerable
embarrassment through it's failure to
send in its acceptance of the appointment
of James Bryce as ambassador TO Wash
ington. This must be received before the
official announcement of the appoint
ment can be published.
The appointment had been admitted by
the foreign office, and Mr.. Bryce has an
nounced it in a letter to his constituents,
hut the proclamation is lying on a desk
awaiting cablegram from Washington.
The moment this message is received a
special gazette viii be issued and formal
information sent TO the press. The pres
ent occurrence is most unusual in Great
Britain. where it is very rare for an ap-
pointment of this kind to be made public
until its publication in the Gazette. While
il Is known what the cabinet will de-
eide, it is pointed out that, although Sir
Henry Durand is retiring from Washing
ton. it does not necessarily follow that he
will entirely sever his connection with
the imperial service.
