Washington, June President
Roosevelt has just made a most stu

Minister. that with the approval Of
congress the United States would
voluntarily relinquish all difference
between the total OF expenses and
claims incurred in suppression of
boxer revolt of nineteen hundred.
and the amount which China agreed
to pay to this country i'm satisfac-
ton thereof The difference is fix
ed Officially at an enormous figure
of twenty seven million dollars There
are international aspects of the Pres
ident's action which will be promptly
considered by Foreign Chancellors.
In the first place REIMBURSEMENT es-
tablishes president for like action on
the part OF Russia, Germany, France.
Japan, and Great Britain, each OF

Shooting at Cope.

A shooting affray which was par
ticipated in by Officer w. R. Kittrell,
Mr.. j. R. Griffith, and negro by
the name of Henry Sumter, took
place in Cope Thursday morning
about 10 o'clock. 1t is reported that
the negro was wounded, but this is
not known. ,
The negro Sumter is a rather bad
character around Cope, and has made
himself very disagreeable for some
time past. He went to Cope Thurs
day morning, and met young white
boy in the street, cursed him and
slapped his face. The boy resented
the insult, when the negro drew a
pistol and knife, thus keeping the
young white man off. The police
officer was called and he together
with Mr.. Griffith went after the ne
gro, who ran. The two gentlemen
drew their pistols, whereupon the
negro dropped to the ground and
began firing at them. The shooting
then started in earnest. The negro
fred three shots and fled, the others
IN hot pursuit. They ran him across
the fields, and several times got very
close upon him, but he finally sue
ceeded in making his escape.
A warrant has been sworn out
for his arrest, but up until now he
has not been captured -Orangeburg

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Wesley Hutto Arrested for Completely
in Killing of n. B. Warn.

Wesley Hutto, colored, was ar
rested this morning on King street,
by Detective Levy, of the police force:
Hutto is suspected of having killed
M. B. Warn, at Bamberg, about three
years ago, for the purpose of rob
berry. He disappeared shortly after
the tragedy and little attention was
paid to him in connection with the
matter, as several other men were
arrested and every effort was ex-
pended in trying to make out case
against them, but they were acquit'
ted.
Hutto has been working at various
jobs since he has been living in
Charleston, and when apprehended
he was working in the furniture
store of Mr.'D. G. May, at AT King
street. His employer stated that
the man was a good worker.
A brother of the murdered man at
St. George learned that Hutto was
in Charleston, and wrote the chief OF
police that a young man, named
Nevils, would point him out to the
officers. Sheriff J. B. Hunter, OF
Bamberg county, wired the chief in
structions to have the man locked up,
and later had a long distance tele:
phone communication with Chief
Boyle, stating that he would send a
deputy with a warrant for the prison.
er at once. Several reputable wit
nesses said that Hutto had told them
that he had plenty of money in the
bank, and that when he came to this
city he had over thousand dollars
in cash, but yesterday the negro
said he was only joking about the
money and really knew nothing OF
the crime, except that ne was one OF
the party that had run down the
men charged with committing the
deed. 1t is. said that 81 500 reward
is offered for his arrest, but the
story is unlikely, as he has been here
all the time, and seemingly made no
effort to disguise his identity or
whereabouts, and the men for whom
he has been working say that he has
frequently made reference to the
murder and how he had helped the
officers to trace the criminals. News

Negro Killed.

Tuesday afternoon about 2 O'Clock
James Washington cut the throat OF
Lignam Chisolm, killing him almost
instantly. Both parties are negroes,
and were croppers on the farm. OF
Mr.. D. r. Matheny near town.
Washington at once came to town
and surrendered to the sheriff and is
now in jail. Mr.. Matheny has en-
ployed a lawyer for him, and appli-
cation for bail will be made as soon
as possible.
Coroner Zeigler held an inquest
over the body of Chisolm Tuesday
afternoon, and the verdict was that
he came to his death at the hands OF
Washington.
Chisolm is reported as being tur-
bulent fellow. He was always beat
ing his wife if she so much as spoke
to another man. He had been fuss
ing with Washington for some time,
and after beating his wife Tuesday
noon he attacked Washington at the
lot where they had gone to get their
mules to go to plowing after dinner.
Washington says Chisolm kept strik-
ing him and he backed up to the
fence, when Chisolm put his hand in
his pocket as he thought to get his
knife to cut him, so Washington
went for his knife as we'll. Getting
it first he made a rake at Chisolm's
throat and came near cutting his
head off. The weapon used was a
common barlow knife, but it made
horrible wound. ,
The cash commenced at the back
of the neck and came around in front
of the throat, severing the jugular
vein. Washington then jumped over
the fence and got his mule and start
ed to the field. Mr.. Matheny came
down from the house in a short time
and found that Chisolm had gone to-
wards home, but he passed his house
and went on toward Washington's s.
He fell before he got there however
and died in a very little while.
