YORK, July 3.—Attacked by an ted “tried” bear, which he had ex- hibited in public thousands of times and Willlam Winscher- mann, an animal trainer, would have been killed this morning in a stable in West Eighteenth street had not help promptly reached him. It was only after a desperate battle that the animal was driven with iron bars from the prostrate form of its master. Winschermann owns which he has trained. He went to the stable to greet his pets. All seemed glad to see him except Tony, a big cinnamon. The animal was in a bad mood, but Win- schermann paid no heed and took him from a barrel box, in which he was kept, to give him a bath. Tony growled omi- nously during this proceeding, but showed no disposition to attack his master until Winschermann chained him to his cage #hd gave him a plece of sugar. As the trainer turned to walk away Tony leaped upon him. In an instant several bears, the glant animal had forced him to the floor and began to claw him. ‘The only person ucar was George Griffiths, son of the owner of the stable. Seizing an fron bar, he made a dash at the beast. With a swing of its paws the bear knocked the bar from his grasp and again attacked Winschermann. With angry growls he tore at his master, inflicting terrible lacerations on his arms, legs and chest. By this time the street was thronged with an excited crowd. Good fortune seemed to favor Griffiths, for he managed to land half a dozen powerful blows upon the bear’'s head, temporarily stunning the animal. Several other stablemen who | had been attracted by the uproar dragged Winschermann to safety. Foliceman Hanifby summoned Dr. Thorne from the New York Hospital and the ‘njured man was taken to the institution. His condi- tion 1s critical. Winschermann is 36 years old. —_—— Kaiser Summons Von Rheinbaben.

HAY MAY RETIRE. Secretary of State Said to Be Weary of Diplomacy. NEW YORK, July 3.—A Washington special to the press sa: Unless there is a-definite clearing up of the diplomatic situation in its relation to Russian affairs, it will not be surprising if the present Secretary of State, John Hay, retires from the Cabinet. Retire- ment was hinted at in different directions to-day. In the absence from the city of Hay and all of his Cabinet associates it was impossible to obtain either afirmation or denial of the suggested step. It has been vioff, the Russlan Minister Lessar, the Rus- | realized for a long time that Hay has had a distinct and definite ambition in closing out his public career, and that it is to prevent thé partition of China and to get an arrangement which would make | such a division of the empire impossible for many years, or, if divided, would in- sure to the United States a perpetual open door. Hay has told his friends he believed fu- ture generations would bless him more for securing a permanent open door in the Far East than anything it would be possible for him to do in his public career, Hay took a radical departure from the methods of diplomacy followed by public men of this country when he announced this open door policy. Since that time he has led in many things. In all negotia- tions in the Far East he has sought to make his pronouncement prophetic It is understood here that the President did not consult Hay before letting the official statement regarding the breach between this country and Russia go out. st e e i CINCINNATI BISHOZS NAME THREE CANDIDATES Meet at Grand Rapids to Select Bishop for Vacant See of Columbus.

GLAY HOLDS THE HOUat WITH GUNG AgedKentuckianIs Il but Defies Doctors. LEXINGTON, Ky.. July 3. —General Cassius M. Clay is to-night apparently se- riously ill in a room in his mansion at ‘Whitehall, in Madison County. Major R. 8. Bullock, cashier of the Fay- ette National Bank of this city, a lifelong friend of General Clay, received a mes- sage yesterday from the general's body- guard, “Joe" Perkins, saying that the general had asked for.da physician to be sent to his bedside. Major Bullock re- sponded immediately and within two hours he had Dr. W. O. Bullock of this city and Dr. Thomas Bullock of Louisville in the front yard of the general's resi- dence: That is as far as they went, as General Clay issued orders to his ser- vants not to allow them to enter under any circumstances and after two hours of pleading they returned to this city. Perkins told the doctors that General Clay was seated on his bed with two re- volvers by his side and a rifle in his hands and would not let any one enter. General Clay had Perkins telegraph to his nephew, Green Clay Goodloe of Washing- ton, to come and see him, but when Goodloe arrived the general refused to al- low him to enter and he returned to ‘Washington without seeing his uncle. According to reports from the servant, General Clay eats and slegps well, but calls constantly for his former child wife, Dora Clay Brock, whose last husband died last Synday and who has promised the general to return to Whitehall. It is believed by many that the return of Dora will restore the general's good temper. 1t she refuses to return to him his rela- tives will use force if necessary to send him to a sanitarium for treatment. Gen- eral Clay is 97 years old. Jjourned the meeting.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.. July 3.—The clos-| ing day's session of the Afro-American | council was marked chiefly by the presen- tation of resolutions embodying an ad- dress to the country at large on the race | problem. The address on the whole is| temperate in tone. After its adoption the | convention adjourned sine die. The ad-| dress is in part as follows: ““We recognize with pleasure the friend- Iy relation that has all along existed be- tween the best people of the white race | and-our own, and we sincerely desire that | nothing may be permitted to Intervene to mar this relation. Still we are confi- dent that no orie who notes carefully the signs of the time can fail to discover that | there are influences at work in nearly every part of the land to accomplish this very end. “As to mob violence, it is gratifying to note that- for the past year or two the number of victims show a decided de- crease, and while all these were not mem- | bers of our race. the vast majority was, | but notwithstanding this fact we should | not feel called upon to discuss the mat- ter at all at this time were it not that although the number of victims is de- creasing, the provocations which lead up to this act of violence are growing more insignificant and numerous. It is not an unusual thing to read these days of ne- groes being lynched for Impudence, retus- ing to obey, striking a white man, etc. ‘We. ask in all sincerity, ‘Is this Amer- ican? Is it right? “It is. now clearly evident that the pur- pose of those who first started in ostensi- bly to disfranchise the ignorant negro | has been broadened and strengthened. | Their purpose now includes almost all | negroes. In.certain of the States this result has already been achieved and thousands -of qualified men are denied positively and absolutely the right to vote. In such States taxation without Tepresentation «prevails as it did when England held control over thé American colonies. We make no objection to the disfranchisement of the ignorant negro, provided the same class of the other race are similarly dealt with. Our contention is not for special but equal privileges.” Count) Paoloa Campello Is Dead. ROME, 3.—Count Paoloa Campello is dead.
