Changes Life Attempted.

.Tien Tsin, China, JAM 27.--An at
tempt was made this morning to as
sassinate Brig. Gen. Chang Huan Shih
at the railroad station here. The
general was not injured.
The would-be assassin, who is a
young Chinaman, apparently arrived
here on the same train as Chang
Huan Chih from Pekin. The general,
on leaving the train, proceeded to his
brougham. The assassin followed him
and threw two bombs, which wrecked
the carriage.
The fleeing assailant was quickly
surrounded by soldiers and police. He
kept his pursuers at bay for some
time with his revolver, but was finally
overcome.
Chang Huan' Chin, who is well
known here, has been largely respon-
sible for preventing the population of
Tien Tsin from going over to the
revolutionaries.

land in this county. The local real
estate firm, through whose instrument
tality the exhibit was collected and
the literature furnished, has answered
all inquiries, offering every possible
inducements to these prospective set
tiers to locate here.
W. H. Leahy, general passenger
agent of the A., B. & A., who had the
exhibit at the Chicago Land Show in
charge, while in tho "itv several days
ago stated to a News reporter that
his office in Atlanta has likewise
been the recipient of hundreds or in
quiries from the North and West. Mr..
Leahy stated further that he expects
many settlers to locate along his road
during the next year; in fact many
have written him that they will visit
Georgia with a view of settling so
soon as it is possible for them to dis
pose of their present holdings.
Glynn county will get its share of
these settlers, and it is safe to say
that during the next twelvemonth the
farming contingent Of this section
will be augmented manyfcld.

were suffered by two school teach
ers, Arthur Young and his wife of the
town of Maasin, Island of Leyte,
while on visit of inspection Of the
schools of the district. Accompanied
by their 3-year-old child, they start
ed out from Maasin in gasoline
launch which soon became unmanage-
able. AS there were no oars in the
boat they could not reach the shore.
The little craft drifted out to sea.
For five days and nights they float
ed about without meeting any other
vessel. They had neither food nor
water with them and were almost in
despair when they were cast upon
the beach of Siquijor island, 200 miles
from Maasin. When they landed Mr..
and Mrs. Young were both fearfully
emaciated and suffering, but the child
was quite WE'LL.

GERS ARE IN DANGER.

Pekin, Jan. Local agents of the
revolutionary party recently intimated
that a dynamite campaign was not
improbable in the near future. Yes
terdays and todays outrages may be
the beginning of a series of similar
crimes. 1t is evidently the inten-
tion of the dynamiters to pick out the
most prominent officials and military
offic ers who are known to be opposed
to the republican government.
Republican agents, who do not at
tempt to keep the nature of their
mission in Pekin secret, declare that
fighting will not be resumed imme-
diately, although isolated conflicts
may occur. They communicate OPEN
ly with the staff of Premier Yuan
Shi Kai, many of the members of
which have expressed revolutionary
sympatnies.
One of the revolutionary agents here

received by Premier Shi Kai, who
promised to release number of sus-
pected dynamiters who have been i'm
prisoned recently.
