ier of the Celestial Empire?United
States Consul Miller is investigating1
the matter
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Newchwang, July 8. ? A telegram from Shanhai-kwan says Lewis Etzal, an Amer
ican correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, has been killed by Chinese soldiers.
Etzel and Ernest Brindle, correspondent of the London Daily Mail, were fired up
ou by the Chinese soldiers while in a junk. Etzel was killed but Brindle is safe.
Etzel was a natve of Butler, Penn.
Consul Miller, of the United States left at once on a special train for the scene of
the killing to make a personal investigation.
The successive Russian reverses have had the effect of ridding the Russians of all
authority overjhe Chinese, who, seeing a period of rapine and plunder ahead are anxious
I to hasten the day. They are little inclined to wait Russion the convenience for evacua
I tion.

Ottawa, June 8.? There is probably
