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.

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.

Buffalo, N. 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. One shot took effect
in the right breast, the other in the
abdomen. The first is not of a seri
ous nature and the bullet has been
extracted. 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. When rescued he was cov
ered with blood from a gash in his
face. Cries of lynching were heard
