I EUGENE WEEKLY GUARD. FRANCE SAYS GO. NEWS OF THE STATE I APOLOGY OF CHINA. to Leave Pan». TEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL Considerable Humility. OFFERS TO MEDIATE IN SOUTH Berlin. Sept. 5.-Emperor William’« reception of the Chinese mission of ex piation headed by Prince Chun, whicn took place yesterday at Potsdam, waa marked with all the severity consistent with an audience nominally friendly. The Chinese imperial envoy on enter ing the palace was not accorded a sa lute by the Garde du Corp*. The Em peror received him seated. The but. tons and epulettes of His Majesty a white uniform were enveloped in crepe. Prince Chun bowed thrice on entering and leaving. Emperor Willi am remained seated during the read ing of the Chinese address. After ward, however, he relaxed his stern demeanor and welcomed the envoy courteously, and subsequently accom panied by his adjutant, he called upon Prince Chun at the Orangery. Later in the evening the Emperor, Prince Chun and a dozen members of the ex piatory mission took tea on an island in the Havel. The Emperor had evidently arranged the entire ceremony with a view of im pressing Prince Chun with the feeling that the ceremony meant expiation for a foul crime, and that only through expiation had Prince Chun acquired the right to be treated with princely honor. Not until after the ceremony did the atmosphere change. Then the troops outside having saluted and the band having played, Hussars escorted Prince Chun back to the Orangery. The Imperial envoy seemed deeply im pressed with the solemnity of the oc casion, an when summoned to the throne room, he showed visible em harassment. He bowed repeatedly while approaching the throne, and his voice was agitated while he was read ing the imperial address. The entire manner of Emperor William was calcu lated to Impress Prince Chun with the solemnity of the ceremonial. He spoke emphatically and seriously, em phasizing particularly the word "civil ized.” The ceremonial lasted only ten min utes. In the meantime ten Chinese dignitaries of the highest rank were halted in the ante-room, remainng per fectly motionless and speechless, awaiting Prince Chun's return with ev ident anxiety. Prince Chun retired backward from the throneroom, bow ing profusely. AMERICAN TROUBLE. Paris, Sept. 5.—The result of Slunir PARTS OF OREGON.

Sept. 5—It is ascer tained that August 24th. during Se retary Hay's recent visit to "a3hl“K ton. a telegraphic message to the Ministers at Caracas and Bo gota, directing them to inform the Foreign Secretaries of X enezuela and Colombia of the distress with ehlch the President had heard of the likeli hood of the disturbance °f the rela tions between the two republics. Ad verting to the possibility of the influ ence of the United States being ex erted to compromise the pending ques tions the Ministers were directed to say that, while the relations of this Government with both nations are equally intimate and friendly, ano every opportunity is taken to show the good will we bear them, an offer of the President's kindly offices to ar range any differences which may ex ist between Colombia and Venezuela would be ineffective without the ac quiescence of both. Nevertheless, in spired by the sentiments which are common to all the governments of the American republics, the United States would sincerely deplore a breach of the amicable relations between the sister nations of the Western world, and would especially regret any ac- , tion by either of them which might menace the security of transit across the Isthmus, or the neutrality of its territory, and thereby constrain the United States to consider its respon sibllities and functions under exist ing treaty engagements with Colom bia. The text of Mr. Hay's' telegram has , not been made public. It is under stood that an acknowledgement ot its receipt has been made by the Vene zuelan Government, but its purport has not been given out, although it is said to be friendly in tone, and. while ' charging invasion by Colombian forces on the Venezuelan border, and referring to the temporary suspension of diplomatic intercourse which has occurred, the way appears to be open for explanations. Venezuela has not declared war against Colombia. Colombia, also, it is said tonight, has made response to the note of Sec retary Hay. While Its contents are not obtainable, the statement is made that it is conciliatory in character, and expresses an earnest wish that war with Venezuela may be avoided. Such a result, it is stated, would be a cause of genuine regret to the people ot Colombia. FIRST STAKE Beginnig of Work on the DRIVEN. Great St. Louis Exposition of 1903. Louis, Sept. 4.—Just four St. months from the date of the organl zation of the Exposition Company, the first stake ot the World's Fair, to be held in 1903, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Louisiana Pur chase, was driven yesterday on the site at Forest Park.

Francis, of the Louisiana Purchase Ex position Company; C. P. Walbridge, representing the committee on con cessions, and President Phillips, of the Board of Public Improvements, made addresses.

Y., Sept. 7.—President McKinley was shot and seriously wounded by a would-be assassin while holding a reception in the Temple ot Music at the Pan-American grounds a few minutes after 4 o’clock yester day afternoon.

The latter pierced the ab- dominai wall and has not been lo- cated. The President was approached by a man with a dark mustache and with one hand covered with a handker- chief. As the man extended his hand to the President, apparently with the intention of shaking hands with him, he fired a shot which entered the President's right breast, lodging against the breast bone. Another shot was fired at once, which entered the President's abdomen. The assajlant was immediately ar rested and was thrown to the ground, and quick as a flash 20 men weie upon him.
