man was a fanatic who thought he
could benefit the nation by killing its
arch enemy, prince Ii. The shooting
occurred when Ii Hung Chang was re-
turning from one of the meetings of
the treaty commission. He was riding
in a sedan chair through a narrow
street which was crowded with people.
The man fired and the bullet struck
him about an inch below the left eye,
going so far in that it was not possible
to extract it."
How did the viceroy act at the time
Of the shOoung?'' I asked
He showed quite as much nerve"
replied Mr. Foster. "as Theodore
Roosevelt did at the time of his at
tempted assassination last year, Ii
Hung Chang did not get out of his
chair He quietly asked one IF the
bearers for a handkerchief 10 stop tbe
blood, and then ordered them to car-
~ him on home to the Buddhist Tenn
pie, where he was living. When ne
reached there ne stepped out of the chair
and walked unaided to mis- Cwn rooms
and gave himself into the hands of the
surgeons. He took no anesthetic and as
they prObed COR he bullet they asked
him If the pain WAS great He told
them not TO mind that, but to go On
with their work The surgeons kept
on probing for sometime, but were not
able to fin dthe bullet, and l. remained
in his head to the day Of his death.

this diary is in existence It consists
of memoranda and notes collected from

said Gen. Foster: The diary was not
written from day to day, but only as
matters of interest and importance
sprang up. Some parts Of it came from
the private papers in the possession of
Ii Hung Chang's family. Other parts
were found in the records which he
left in the archives of the yamens at
Shanghai, Tien-tSin and Canton. Many
Of the notes were written at Pekln,
and not a few were dashed off at the
close Of his Interviews with the en-
press dOWaSer, prince Ching and 9TH
ers of the highest Chinese officials. In
all cases he handles things without
gloves, saying just what he thinks, de-
scr1blng just what occurred and max
ing emphatic observations thereon.
He usually speaks of the empress
dOWager as the old Buddha,' and Of
ten cells how she went into a rage and
ordered him out of her presence At
the end of one interview he writes that
the Old Buddha manifested an ebull1-
ton of passion such as he had never
seen, except in his own family, and he
rather pathetically continued that the
chief difference was that while he was
at his home he could control his own
actions. and it might be- retire; but
with the empress dOwager this was not
possible, for there one had to remain
on his knees and bow his head to the
floor in humble submission"

to tell her what he actually thought

German Socialists mdOrse
Political Strike for Votes

JENA, Germany. Sept. 16. = The
general strike" as a political weapon
in the way it was employed in April
this year in Belgium and at earlier
periods in France and Russia, was
the subject of a warm and extended
debate in the Socialist convention
here today. 1t found friends as a
measure for immediate use.
The debate was precipitated by the
failure of the Socialists to gain sub
stantially at the last elections for the
Prussian diet and the evident impos-
sibility for their doing so under the
existing conditions OF the Prussian
franchise.
The radical section demanded today
that the Germans should start a fight
on similar lines to those which were
successful in Belgium. A resolution
was introduced by the central COM
mittee which approved 'in principle"
of such a step. but held that "the
time is not ripe for it,

TO GIVE RATINGS
IN POLICE TESTS
Civil Service Commission Con-
fer on Result of Examina-
ton for Chief.

An executive meeting of the State
Civil Service Commission was held
here yesterday afternoon in the City
Hall to confer on the result of the re-
cent examination for chief of police
and police captain in the local police
department. II was expected that
after the conference, which was held
behind closed doors, the commission
ers would announce the ratings of the
candidates as the result of the papers
submitted.
The commissioners left the city,
however, without making any an
nouncement of the ratings. 1t is
thought likely that they will be an
nounced during the week from the
Trenton office of the commission.
Five captains took the examination
to succeed the late Chief of Police
Michael Corbitt, who died suddenly
on horseback while directing the Me-
mortal Day parade. Twenty-one lieu
tenants entered the test to fill the cap
taincy to be vacated by the late chief
successor.

THAW WINS DELAY
IN HABEAS CORPUS
Continued from First Page.)

Felker signed a warrant granting the
fugitiye's eXtradition.
Thaw rose earlier than at any time
since his escape from the Matteawan
asylum for the criminal insane on
Sunday morning, August II. Early
breakfast was ordered for all hands
last night and the Thaw followers,
newspaper men, lawyers, guards, tele-
graph operators and the persistent
curious trooped toward the Maine
Central railroad station shortly after
sun-up to board the train.
Jerome Prepared to Resist.
The chief lawyers for Thaw before
Judge Aldrich were Moses H. Gross
man and l.. J. Vorhaus, of New York
city. Jerome was sole counsel for the
State of New York He was prepared
bitterly to resist the move of the
Thaw lawyers TO obtain continuance
of the writ, on the ground that it was
not bona tide writ of }1abeas corpus,
but an emergency measure designed
to meet possible developments after
the eXtradition hearing at Concord,
tentatively set for Wednesday.
Thaw's lawyers, on the other hand
said they could contend that while
they did not seek their clients imme-
date release they desired the courts
protection in view of the fact that the
New Hampshire statutes afforded
them no recourse to the courts once
the governor had granted extradition
Frost fell in Colebrook last night
and it was a shivering party that gath
cred at the railroad station. Thaw
was silent, but jubilant at the pros
pect of appearing in a Federal court
for the first time in his career. He
was in the joint custody of Sheriff
Drew, of Coos county, and United
States Marshal E. P. Mute.
