roy who had been created Baron Hardinse to his appointment of office has been busy visiting various parts of the coun- try and has been able to pay only a few flying visits to Delhi to inspect the preparations for the advent of the gov ernment into the new imperial capital.
 A dispatch to the Times from Delhi says the house from which the bomb was thrown was packed with specta- tors. men, women and children, l59 of them altogether. It took the police some time to surround the house so that probably many of these people got away. It is stated, the correspondent adds. that groups of men were seen on the corner of the roof of the house just before the bomb was thrown and that they dispersed immediately after, but not before crying out in Hindustan, words expressing satisfaction that the atm of the bomb thrower had been true. They doubtless were the perpetrators ot the attack and probably escaped in the confusion.
 Several fugitives were caught in a blind alley and arrested. They had been injured about the face, but it is not known whether they were the actual culprits.

London. December 23.-Up to late hour tonight no news in addition to that received today concerning the at tempt on the life of Baron Hardinge, viceroy of India. had reached Lon don. The motive for the attempt is q mystery on which it will be impossi- ble to hazard guess until 1t is known whether the miscreant is Hindu or Mussulman. It Is not known as yet whether the bomb thrower has been arrested.
 Intense indignation Is expressed both
 in Calcutta and London over the inci- dent Fears are expressed here that 1t may have been manifestation of Moslem resentment at the British oc- cupancy of the ancient Mohammedan capital of India. lt is asserted that a warning reached London some time ago that violence would be attempted by Mohammeians on the occasion Of the state entry of the viceroy in to Delhi.
 Great sympathy Is extended to Baron and Baroness Hardinge as result of the attack and much admiration Is ex- pressed over their courageous conduct According to accounts received here to- night the viceroy underwent two opera tions for the extraction of the bomb that penetrated his shoulder

 By authority of Governor O'Neal, Cap tain kclb has retained as clerks of the department R. M Martin, w M. Seldon and Reuben Kolb. as this number was considered absolutely necessary in or der to carry out the full letter of the law.
 Regarding the Illegal expenditure of nearly SS000 for salaries and expense ae- counts of samplers. it Is probable that the law will be so construed as 10 ai- low for the payment of their expenses Attorney General BrieSen has this ques- ton under consideration at the present time, and will issue ruling on the mat ter within the next few days. The expense account of the various sam piers amounted to s2.12253
 The report of Examiner Evans has been much discussed in official circles for the past few days, though 1t was not made public until Monday. Tn the opinion of state officials, it was par ticularly unfortunate that necessary ma chlnefy was not provided by the lsg1s- lature in order to carry in effect the various provisions of the act.
 In commenting upon the report of Ex- aminer of Public Accounts Evans. Cap tain kolb said that the examiner had made it to appear that seven men were employed as samplers, whereas only five were engaged in that capacity. Cliff ford Cheney. one of the samplers re- ferred to, died in the spring of this year. and his place was filled by the appoint ment of Reuben Kolb. The seventh man referred to is Professor C. l.. Hare of Auburn, who was paid a small expense account incurred in coming to Montgom- cry to appear before Commissioner l<ob and the attorney general at certain hearing. MT. Hare being the chemist making the analysis of certain samples said Captain Kolb. "it was deemed proper to pay his expense to Montgomery" "ln view of the opinion rendered by tho at torney general. the report of Examiner Evans is correct"

|BALKY MULE IS
 NEGRO'S UNDO|NG Is Shot At and Dies, But No
 Wounds WAS STEALING SUGAR Negro Confessed Before He Died. Struck Policeman and Was Get ting Away, Officer States,
 When He Shot

A balky mule was the indirect cause of the death of Henry Fields, negro last night for if the mule he was driving had not baked, he would have outdistanced officer Darnell and there would have been another story.
 A negro watchman at the Louisville and Nashville freight depot saw sev- eral negroes hauling off sugar from q freight car last night about 1l:30 o'clock and called the police headquar- ters Officer Darnell answered the call and after watching for some time saw the negroes drive in behind a bill board near sixteenth street and First avenue. The negroes drove up to the car, saw the policeman and one of them jumped out of the wagon and escaped. The other whipped the mule, which baked. Officer Darnell caught the driver got in the wagon and started for headquarters. At seventeenth street the negro suddenly struck the officer and jumped from the wagon. Darnell caught his coat and held him while the fool mule ran down the street.
 Darnel lost his hold on the negro when the mule suddenly stopped. The negro ran and the officer pursued him, shoot ing at him once as he turned corner. He saw him Stagger and shot aSalh. The negro kept on running, but the of- ficer caught up with him near Fifteenth street. Fields put up 8 strong fight and Darnell says he struck Fields over the head. When the negro stopped running Darnel says blood was gushing from his mouth. He died shortly afterwards and after thorough search the officers say they could not find a bullet wound on his body. Whether he died from fright or from the effects of hislong run is ques- ton
 Before he died Fields confessed to stee ling the sugar but would not tell where he hauled it nor disclose the name of his companion.
