WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. -—Shooting at small boys for stealing half ripe fruit threatens to become epidemic in Washing- ton. Yesterday residents in the vicinity of the Japanese legation were startled by the report that Oscar Reid, a white boy, was shot while pilfering some green fruit in the yard attached to the Japanese le- gation in N street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, northwest. . The report was that the shot had been fired by: Some one connected with the legation, and for a few minutes the excitement in that neighborhood was intense. The recollection of Friday’s tragedy, in which the daughter of Brigadier General lagler figured so distressingly, is still 11 the minds of the people; hence it was not difi‘icult to create a sensation over the alleged shooting. The reported killing of Oscar Reid was unfounded, and all the circumstances were greatly exaggerated in the original stories circulated. When a reporter called at the Japanese legation, a young man' employed there, who said his name was Harry Stewart, crime to the door. He talked freely about the affair and admitted that he had done some of the shooting. There were about four shots fired, he thought, and part of them were fired by a young Japanese whose name he refused to give. The boys, he said, had ~ annoyed them until they could endure it no longer. They had thrown a great many stones over into the garden while trying to knock off the peaches, and it had become dangerous to walk there. The boys were there yesterday as usual, and when they went out the boys refused to go away, and the shots were fired. He said he had no Intention of even injuring the boys, and he knew the cat rifle had not the neces- sary force even if he desired to hurt them. All he wanted to do was to frighten them, and this he thinks he did. The Flagler Tragedy. There is still much suppressed excite- ment among the colored population of the city over the killing of the little colored boy, Ernest Green, by Miss Flaglcr. The latter suddenly disappeared after being acquitted by the coroner’s jury, and she ls supposed to have left the city to avoid further trouble for the present. While few believe that she killed the boy inten- tionally she is most severely criticised for the wanton recklessness with which she handled her pistol. The colored people are naturally indignant and very much wrought up. The best people in the city sympathize with the young woman and the family of the boy, yet they are not unmindful of the fact that the cause for killing the boy was very trivial, and criti- cism falls heavily upon Miss Flagl‘er. There is a great deal of unfavorable com- ment upon the coroner for what is termed extreme haste in impaneling a jury and the rapidity with which the case was dis- posed of. Had the case been reversed—a colored girl killed a white boy—people argue that the cononer’s jury would have given a different verdict. It is said that Miss Flagler left the city last night for Toronto to join her parents, where they are spending the summer. The indignation of the colored people over the shooting grows more pronounced every hour. It only needs a cool and de- termined leader to organize a demonstra< tion to condemn the shooting itself as well as Major Moore’s part in the affair in dis- playing what the colored people say was an unjustifiable and extraordinary anx- iety to see Miss Flagler cleared. They re- gard the holding of, the inquest within a few hours after the death of the boy as a most indecent exhibition of haste, and that it was done in order to prevent hold- ing Miss Flagler in custody over night. An Indignation Meeting. Another feature of the case which is being denounced by the colored people is the fact that the body of the boy, as" they claim, was cut 11p unnecessarily by the surgeons who held the autopsy. They say there was no necessity for ripping the body open from the throat to the abdo- men in order to investigate a bullet wound through the lungs. The under- taker, one of Mr. Green’s friends, said that the body had been mutilated in an unwarranted manner. There is talk of an indignation meet- ‘ng to be held on Wednesday night. Perry arson, is said to favor such a move, but the more conservative of the colored pe0< plc seem to think that suchameeting would be an unwise move, and that it would be infinitely better to await the de- cision of the grand jury before action is taken. Lawyer Hewlett, a colored law- yer, whilc free to admit that the verdict of the coroner’s jury was premature and unwise in the extreme, said that a meet- ' ing expressing indignation Would do more to injure than to aid the cause. He. felt sure that the grand jury would probe the matter to the bottom and see that justice was done. He would not attend, neither would he favor such a meeting. Samuel Mose, one of the leading legal advisers cf the colored race, said he had heard some talk of such a meeting, but thought that it would be better to let the matter rest for the present, thinking that such undue haste would do more to hurt the case before the grand jury than it could possibly do good. ’ Mrs. Flagler Prostrated. HALIFAX, Aug. 5.—-General D. W. Flagler, United States army chief of ordnance, and Mrs. Flagler arrived here on Wednesday, intending to tour Nova Scotia, passing on to Yarmouth. There a message came to them of a tragedy in Washington in which Miss Flagler took, part. They left for Washington yesterday. Mrs. Flagler is prostrated with grief. The Procrastinating Turk.

He Carr-led Five Out of Six Counties Ina Saturday’s Primary Elections. PHILADELPHIA Aug. 5.—Primary elec; tions were held in six counties Saturday for the election of delegates to the county conventions, which will be held this week, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Republican state convention which meets on» Aug. 28. In five of the six counties the returns thus far received show that Senator Quay has been victorious. In Dauphin'county, which will have five delegates in the con- vention, the vote was unanimous for Quay. In Elk county there was scarcely any opposition to the junior senator, and Elk’s one delegate will go to Quay. Sus- quehanna’s vote was practically a unit for delegates favorable to the Beaver states‘] man. The fight in Clinton county was very bitter, but Quay has carried the‘ county, which adds another delegate to: his list. In Huntingdon county in the 15, districts heard from Quay delegates have been chosen by an overwhelming majority. In Luzerno county the Hastings follow-i ers have had a practical walkover. They, claim eight out of the nine delegates, with, a fighting chance for the ninth. The Quay’ leaders, however, Claim the Fifth district. sure, with the Fourth in doubt. The-result of the vote in 'Huntingdbn and Clinton counties is a. disappointment to the Hastings people, having claimed the- delegates in ‘ both of those counties.

This should satisfy the most doubtful person, and if anything of a damaging nature should be said in the future of the Sentinel edition of Britannica it should be looked upon with suspicion. ’ a - Editor Sentinel :——At your request I have made a fuller and more careful examina- tion of this edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and I am confirmed in my former impressions of its qualities. I have used the eighth and ninth editions of the original for thirty years and of its excellence there is no question, and whatever deficiences exist between this edition and the British edition seem to me to be well supplied by the American addiu tions, many of which are written by meagof the first authority in their several departments. I Will add that a shadow of prejudice against this edition, which had been cast by some crit-' cisms I have read, has been removed by a closer examination. great work which you are offering to your readers knowledge.
