Everybody obeyed the request with the exception of the Ger- mans, both officers and soldiers, who have caused the American sentries much trouble, | One of the German oficers drew his sword and charged an American soldier, who broughi his bayonet to ‘“charge,” where upon the officer desisted. Subsequently, a German soldier charged past the sentry, who fired, hitting another German soldier | near the German legation, a quarter of a mile off. This fortuna 1ght flesh wound. The sentry has been placed under arrest and Major Robertson bas instituted an investigation. The attitude of Dr. Mumm von Schwartz- ensteln, Germau minister, representing the civilians, and Count von Waldersee, representing the milltary, as well as that of other high officials has been particularly triendly toward the Americans, which make all the more pronounced the untriendly feeling evinced by a majority of the Ger- man officers and men. This unfriendliness is attributed to the American attitude in retaining control, with the legation guard, of one entrance to the Forbldden City, which the Germans consider a reflection on their national honesty. Today's meeting of the ministers of the powers was devoted to closing up details ly was only a of business independent of the indemnity | question, although the military authoritics of the various powers seem to consider a settlement in sight, as general preparations are being made for the evacuation of Pekin in the early future.

ENTERTAINED AT PRINCETON ndred Presbyterinns PRINCETON, N assembly of the Presbyterian church, which has been in session in Philadeiphia, visited Princeton yesterday afternoon. The 500 dele- gates, many of them accompanied by their | wives and duughters, came by special train and, on being escorted by members of the faculty to Alexander hall, were there re- celved by President Patton in behalf of the university and by Dr. for the theological seminary Presideat Patton, come, sald tha', while Princeton Is no sectarlan institution, Presbyterians have mado it largely what it is; that they gen- erously endowed 1t; have occupied Its chairs and filled its halls of study.

Cars Are Monsters. i With both motormen killed it was hard to get at the cause of the accldent, but | it is pretty well determined that it was ! the result of an attempt of the southbound car to reach a second switch instead of | waiting for the northbound car at the first sidiug. The cars weigh fifteen tons each and are the largest electric cars built, but %0 terrific was the crash that both cars were torn almost to splinters. Both cars | were filled with Sunday pleasure-soekers | returning from the new recreation grounds | that the raillway had just opened. The southbound car left Albany at 4:30 and the | accident. occurred at 5 o'clock. The cars on the line were running at switch head- way; that s, as a car reached a siding switch it was supposed to wait until an- | other golng in the opposite direction passed. The motorman of the southbound car reached one of the switches, but see- ing no northbound car decided to take chances and go ou to the next siding. It| was at a curve between that the two cars met, Among the passengers on the southbound Rogers of the State Department of Public He was accompanied by Mrs. Rogers and their young son and daughter, | all of whom with the exception of the | daughter were slightly hurt. Pi enger's Story Speaking of the accident, Mr. Rogers sald: “My recollection of what happened as the cars came together is rather vague. We were proceeding southward at a very rapid rate of speed, our car being well | filled with passengers, including many | women and children. Fortunately, my wife, | my children and myself were seated in the | rear of the car. The car, I should say, ac- | commodated between seventy-five and 100 | persons. The accident occurred after we had passed a switch, beyond which was @ | curve where the track skirts what ap- peared to be an embankment. We did not seem to lessen In speed as we neared the curve. There was absolutely no warning, so far as my memory can recall, before the crash came. As we dashed around the | curve the cars met with terrific force. With the veloelty of a cannocball the car in| which we were seated fairly ploughed the entire length of the other car before it | lost its {mpetus. “Where the responsibility for the acci- 1t was safd that our motorman ought to have waited on the switch for the down car, but that for some reason he concluded to take chances of | reaching the next switch. How much truth there is in this story I cannot say."

When Mr. Duncan came ashore he stated that the program of the yacht for the greater part of (he week would be simply runs up and down the bay, not for speed but to test its sails and rigging in the most thorough manmer. If these are found to be satisfactory the yacht will probably begin its runs outside during the latter part of the week, when all its sails will be tried. Everything connected with the boat worked in the most satisfactory manner and Captain Rhodes was highly pleased with the work of his crew. The boat's pers formance today was entirely satisfactory to August Belmont, who, after the trip of the vacht, was taken to Providence on the tender Scout, where he boarded a train for New York. Later in the day Nat Herreshoff came down from Bristol and had a short chat with, Manager Duncan on board the steamer Mount Morris. After a stay of about Af- teen minutes he returned to Bristol. The moorings originally lald for the yacht at Brinton's cove have been found unsatis- tactory and tomorrow they will be removed to a polnt outside of Goat island, where the Columbla lald two years ago. CELESTIALS NOT FURGOTTEN resident and Cabinet Men OGDEN, Utah, May 26.—On the way back to Washington the president and members of the cabinet are devoting a good deal of time to the consideration of the Chinese situation. ‘The declination of the other powers to Join in the suggestion of th United States with regard to scaling down the indemnity demanded of China, was a great disappointment, though it could hardly be said that it was entirely un- expected. The president and members of the cabinet feel that this government was right in protesting against exactions which might force China to the wall, and from the position taken by the United States there will be no retreat. The demands of the other powers are considered exorbitant and apt, if insisted upon, to result ulti- mately in the partition or dismemberment of the empire The United States will continue to urge this view at every opportunity. If the powers proceed alone and force China to accede to thelr demands, this government, of course, will accept the share of the in- demnity assigned to it on the present basis sary to liquidate the claims of United States citizens, and subsequently determine, if such a course should be deemed wise, whether all the remainder should be re- tained by this government as its proper share. The United States is mot in favor of the proposed scheme to raise and guaran- tee an international loan for China, out of the proceeds of which it can liquidate its indebtedness to the powers. The United States s willing to accept the bonds ol China, without indorsement by any power, at 3 per cent intereat, and thus make mani- fest to the world the sincerity of the Ameri- can profession proclaimed at the very out- set that the United States desires to help China to its feet and preserve its political integrity.

That much was soon decided at Zamboanga, and the fur- ther the commission penetrated fnto the country and the more familiar they became with the heterogencous character of its peo- ple, the more they w convin of the unwisdom of attempting to apply any con siderable measure of civil government on American lines to peoplo the great ma- Jority of whom are nothing more or less than savages, peaceful and thoroughly triendly to 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 s, therefore, no longer any question but that Mindanao and the adfacent fslands are to be ruled for years to come by a government, general in character and di- rectly representative of the central govern- ment to be established in Manila July 1. There will be local representatives of the governor In the half-dozen districts of the island, who may recommend as to the pro- pricty of what the peoplo desire, but the latter will have no direct voice in affairs of government, excepting those in the pair of provinces to be established on the north- ern coast. ng “America’” in English, At Catabatto, when the commission party disembarked on the high river bank, they were greeted with singing of “America” in English by the Chinese and Filipino schoo! children. At military headquarters a long private conference was held by the com- missioners with representatives of all in- terests involved. While this hearing was in progress tha town was rapidly filling with clans of Moros from neur and far. The principa) dattos, with their advisers, were brought in for conferenco a group at a time, and encouraged to talk about their conditions. The first of their report was that they were more prosperous and contented under Amerlcan rule than ever before, because they felt their rights to be more settied and | secure, and they seemed to have no objec- tlon to continuing matters as at present, so far as governmental control went. Sinvery a Delleate Matter. The question of slavery was scarcely touched upon in the conference, except In- cldentally, but President Taft afterward | assured the Asscciated Press correspon- |dent that since the constitution prohibits | slavery In any territory governed by the | United States the question would be dealt {with. He was of the opinion that if the | people in the United States were willing | that the government in the Philippin | deal with the question deliberately and im- partially without arousing prejudice by ex- cited discussion or precipitate action that slavery can bu abolished in some fslans {more slowly than in others perhaps, but {still effectively. | With the polygamy question it fs differ- |ent. No prohibition of polygamy fs likely | to be enforced, at present at least, agalnst |the savages of the southern Philippine |islands. The commission quitted Catabatto | with ideas considerably enlarged and clar- | ifled as to the situation in that part of the country. The party arrived at Davao on the morn- { ing of April 4. The chlefs of all the tribes |in the vicinity came in turn before the | commissioners and related the ecircum- stances, condition: and customs of them- selves and their peoples and told about their relations with other tribes. Former Insurgent Help: | Although yesterday was Sunday it was | tar from being a duy of rest for the com- | missloners or th. people of Cagayan, the | commercial metropolis of northern Min- | danno. The first person to grasp the hand of President Taft when he climbed from the ship's cutter to the wharf was General | Capistrano, who, before his surrender les: | than a fortnight previous, was the chiet insurgent of Mindanao and whose surrender practically ended hostilities in the island. At the business session Capistrano occu- pled a front seat and, by invitation of Pres- ident Taft, spoke intelligently upun the questions discussed. He thanked the com- misslon for fnaugurating so liberal a form of government for the province of Misamis as the one outlined and sald its provisions were in fact beyond the aspirations of (he | people. As for himself Capistrano said that | he gladly luld down bis arms aud swore | | alleglance to the United States when he came to understand Amerlcan intentions.
