with her bag of money. rode on ahead to reach home early, while I came on foot behind As soon as l reached the large street l saw that something un. usual had happened. People were shout ing and eXcitedly passing the word along; the soldiers were crowding the throngs back into the alleys and rush head out of q building; the door ana windows of the shops along the way were tightly closed; not soul was allowed on the street except soldiers. At first the soldiers would not. allow me to go up the street, but under cover of some reporters and, being for eigner. l made my way up between the lines of soldiers who were kneeling with cooked guns and fixed bayonets ready to shoot the first offender, When came 10 the place where the bomb was thrown 1 found our Dr. Young al- ready on the scene with his medicine case to help the wounded. The dead had been carried away, but there were still some wounded and dead horse.
 Ut seems that there were three bombs thrown. One fell under the pre- mier's carriage but failed to explode. The third exploded, killing the last out rider and Wounding a number of oth- CTS. After the explosion the soldiers immediat tely rushed to the shop from where the DOTnnS were lnrDWn, RG1D- bing every one there by the queue and leading them off to the court Of course they took several innocent per sons and did get the hurlers of the bomb. These men confessed on the spot. saying that they only regretted they did not do what they had planned. They said that though their bombs were in effective Yuan could not get home, as | there were 19 others who were out | for the same purpose. One woman was captured and wept that she had come from the south to do this deed and had failed.
 "When l came to the scene of the explosion the soldiers gently invited me to march on saying, go slowly. suppose to avoid suspicion. Walking up the street between lines of soldiers pointing their guns at you Is rather a novel experience. and I enjoyed the novelty to the full, despite occasional creepy feelings when revolvers were used a little too freely in gesticulations. The streets were guarded nearly to our compound and all the buildings along the way were being searched for bomb throwers.
 For a few hours after the attempt at assassina tion the city was in con siderable confusion. But by nightfali Ian was quiet again and the streets presented their usual appearance. Yuan Shi Raj was scheduled to go to the
 palace the next day, but has kept close to his headquarters since. The paper says he has obtained three dayS leave of absence"

CHINESE QUEUES NOT SOLD
Those Cut Are Kept to Be Buried
 With Their Owners

Experts In the human hair trade in Hongkong say that if buyers of human hair in the United States expect a great oversupply as a result of queue cutting in China they are likely to be dlsap- pointed. Instead of an oversupply the changes now going on are cutting off the chief sources of supply in China, and there Is likely soon to be de- cided falling away.
 Contrary to the general impression in the United States and Europe, the queues when cut are not sold. This is an absolute rule, so far as south China is concerned and -t Is the custom all over those portions of China from which the writer shas been able to se- cure reliable data on this subject The queues, when cut, are preserved, ac- cording to general statement, for bur ial with the owner.
 The chief supply has come from Chi nese barber shops where, in the course of shaving portions of the heads of customers, considerable long hair is ac- cidentally removed. Now that queues are cut. howeevr. Chinese barbers have no more long hair to dispose of than barbers in the United States. A con- traction of the supply in Hongkong all ready Is apparent and but for the hes Iitancy of American and other foreign

 The declared value of exports Of hu- man hair from Hongkong to the United States in 1911 was $292,T5S. as compared with $695,137 in 1910. s327559 in 1909. and y92,209 in 1908. Shipments from the Hongkong market in 1911 to all countries were much larger in volume than @he year before, aggregating l. T59,s33 pounds in contrast to about 100000 pounds in 1910.
 A great proportion the shipments. however. was of low grade hair, used for various purposes other than for false hair-for example, a new f1air- cloth. mattress filling and the like It is doubtful if the total value of the sea sons shipments will exceed $900,O 900 gold. as compared with an aggregate of s1,500,000 a year ago. There Is every indication, however. that prices will range much higher for 1912.

told he was wanted by someoliesin the
saloon. He was engaged in conversa-

says. came out and ordered him away.
McKenna says he, went to he sids-
gument with Brown when John Boan,
a former police chanceman, came up
behind him and knocked him down.
McKenna, who was in plainclothes, lost
his blackjack in the scuffle.
He went to the police station to don
his uniform and returned to the sa-

he was talking to Brown, he claims.
Bell sneaked up behind him and struck
him with a bottle, knocking him down.
He was about to hit McKenna, the

Bell was arrested by Chief of Po-
