The attitude of Dr. Mumm von Schwar-zensteln.-
German Minister, representing
the civilians, and Count von Waldersee,
representing the military, as well as 'that
of other high officials, has been particu
larly friendly toward the Americans,
which makes all the more pronounced the
unfriendly feeling evinced by a majority
of the German officers and men. This un
friendliness is attributed to the Ameri
can attitude in retaining control with the
legation guard of one entrance to the For

a reflection upon their national honesty.

KEY "WEST, Fla., May 26.--As the re
sult of an unexplained tragedy at a cot
tage occupied by the D'Ormond-Fuller
Company, a dramatic organization, early
this morning, Miss Inez Leonard and T.
Edgar Baucleigh, two members of the
company, are dead. After the perform
ance last night, Mies Fuller, a member
of the company, went up stairs to the
room of Mies Atkinson, and in passing
Baucleigh's room she told him he had
better go to bed,, and is under the im
pression that he did so. A few minutes
after MIes Inez Leonard had been seen
to go up stairs, which was about 2:20
o'clock, Mr. D'Ormond, of the company,
heard the report of a rltle and Miss
Leonard screamed out:
"Help, help, I am dying," and then
another ehot rang out. Mr. D'Ormond
and Miss Fuller rushed up stairs and saw
Miss Leonard In a stooping position In
a corner of the room. By this time the
other members of the company rushed
into the room and found Miss Leonard in
a dying condition. She died without re
gaining consciousness. She was shot
through the left side, the bullet coming
out of the right side.
Baucleigh was lying dead on the oppo
site side of the room. His face was a
mass of blood and an examination showed
he had shot himself through the mouth.
A rifle and two empty shells were found
near Bauclejgh. Mr. D'Ormond saye the
cause of the tragedy Is a mystery to
every member of the company. Miss
Leonard 'and Mr. Baucleigh were engaged
to be married soon. Baucleigh was born
in Chicago and was adopted by Miss Ful
ler when. 4 years old. He was reaped
and educa'ted under her care. Miss Leon
ard's home was In Philadelphia. Her
mother and father are on the stage.

The question of slavery was scarcely

incidentally, but President Taft afterward

slavery In any treritory governed by tne
United States, the question would be dealt

SAN FRANCISCO. May 26. Trades
union men. employed their Sunday In de
liberating on the strike- conditions, mak
ing plans for future action and passing
resolutions. Several labor unions held
meetings and spent hours In considering
evlstrng conditions. Iron Moldera Union,
No. 154, passed a resolution that its mem
bers return to their respective shops this
morning, but work from patterns made
by union pattern-makers and on such
castings only which are to be finished by
union machinists. Since all union pattern
makers and machinists are on strik; and
every new pattern frotn which a casting
is to be made will be suspected ot being
the work of a non-union pattern-maker
and will have to be finished by non-union
machinists,, the molders will refuse to
handle the castings. This is likely to
lead to a strike of the molders, though
the order for them to strike has not come
from the -International organization.

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
Fonr Candidates for Senator McL.au-
rin's Place.
COLUMBIA. S. a, May 26. It is un
derstood that Senator McLaurin arid Sen
ator Tillman have a tacit agreement to
contest for the long term, to which Sen
ator Tillman was elected last January.
Under the state Democratic party rules,
the candidate must designate snerlflpaiiv
the office to which he aspires. Whether
McLaurin wins over Tillman, or Tillman
is re-elected, McLaurln's unexpired term
will be filled by a new man.
There are four announced candidates:
Asbury C. Latimer, Congressman from the
third district, and said to be Tillman's
lieutenant; D. S. Henderson, State Sen
ator from Aiken; Colonel George Johnston,
ex-Congressman from the third district,

xne question now Deiore me assemoiy
Is '.'Shall the majority jeport. be adopted
in its entirety?" This report, -, briefly
stated, recommends the appplntment of a
committee to prepare a brief summary of
the reformed faith bearing the same re
lation to the Confession which the shorter
catechism bears to the larger, catechism
and formed on the general model of the
consensus creed prepared for the assem
bly of 1S92 or the "articles of faith" of
the Presbyterian Church of England. The
report also recommends that this com
mittee prepare amendments to several
chapters of the Confession, either by mod
ification of the text or by declaratory
statement, so as more clearly to express
the mind of the church. The motions to
dismiss the whole matter and to strike
out the recommendation In the majority
report for a brief summary having been
defeated, the contest has narrowed 'down
to a struggle between the advocates of
a new creed and those who desire only a
moderate revision of the Confession.
It is predicted with considerable show
of confidence that the moderate revision
ists will win against the new creedists Snd
that It will then resolve Itself into a con
test over the nature of the changes. The
two votes already taken would indicate
that the report of the majority will be
adopted without amendment, but if that
comes about it will not be without a
struggle. The moderate revisionists who
voted with the 'more extreme members of
the church against dismissal will ally
themselves with the dlsmlssalists against
any radical amendments to the report.
The sentiment for a declaratory statement
as against a brief summary is growing,
and it is believed that the final vote
may conje on these two Issues.
It Is not likely that the assembly will
adjourn before Thursday. Rev. W. H.
Roberts, the stated clerk, gave out the
information that there is still two days'
work before the assembly after 'the re
vision question is out of the way. After
thj present matter Is disposed of, the
proposition of the establishment of a
judicial commission will hold the attention
of the assembly. Lines are sharply drawn
on this matter, and it may delay some
what the final adjournment. A number of
commissioners have returned to their
homes.

DAPINTAN, Island of Mindanao, April
8. For the past week, the United States
Commission has been steaming around the
coaste of Mindanao, touching at its prin
cipal ports to interview the leading In
habitants gathered from the adjacent dis
tricts. Two important points were set
tled, 'namely, that Mindanao shall not be
ruled by local governments and that slav
ery shall be abolished. The commission
ers came to Mindanao with the intention
of establishing several provincial gov
ernments, but, they were not long In
abandoning that intention. That much
was soon decided at Zamboanga, and the
further the commissioners penetrated in
to the country and the more familiar they
became with the heterogeneous char
acter of Its people, the more they
were convinced of the unwisdom of at
tempting to apply any considerable meas
ure of civil government on American
lines to people, the great majority of
whom are nothing more or less than sav
ages; peaceful and thoroughly friendly
to the Americans; perfectly willing to be
advised and overruled by them, but hav
ing no conception of nor desire for any
thing approaching self-government
Ideals. There Is, therefore, no longer any
question that Mindanao- and the adjacent
islands are to be ruled foe years to come
by a government that Is general In char
acter and directly representative of the
central government to be established in
Manila July 1. There will be local rep
resentatives of the Governor in the half
dozen districts, of the island who may rec
ommend as" to the propriety of what
the people desire, but the latter will have
no direct vote in affairs of government
Sixty-Seven Firms Out of 150 Have
Granted Machinists' Demands.
PHILADELPHIA, May 26. At the be
ginning of the second week of the mach
inists strike, the situation in Philadelphia
Is as follows: Sixty-seven firms out of 150
have gone from the ten-hour to the nine
hour day basis without a reduction in
wages. Thus 2S00 machinists out of 7000 in
the city are working nine hours a day;
the machinists employed by 41 firms, num
bering 2000, contlnua on strike for a nine
hour day; several large firms have offered
compromises In reply to the union's de
mands, and In some cases where their
workmen did not belong to the union, the
compromise was accepted; 42 firms have
not been affected by the strike because
their machinists are thus fan insufficiently
organized to- make a stand with any
chance ot success. Strikes will probably
be ordered at some of the latter class of
places should the union officials deem. It
practicable to take such action.
NEW YORK SUBWAY STRIKE. '

NEW .YORK, May 26. The Central Fed

rapid transit tunnel strike. According to
labor leaders this will result in a complete
tie-up of work on the subway unless the
contractors accede to the demands of the
striking engineers and Tock drillers. The
action taken by the Central Federated
Union was In direct opposition to the
wishes of President Pallas, who has been
laboring for some time to establish a
friendly understanding between the em
