bis Fraxcirco, June 10.—J. K. Emmet. the actor, made an attempt Saturday night to murder his wife, who is known on the stage as Emily Lyton. The shooting took place a short distance' from their temporary residence in this city shortly before 8 o'clock. Emmet, who closed his season here one week ago, had been indulging in strong drink and after his wife returned home a quarrel ensued. The shooting took place when there were but few people oa the street and the best account of eyewitnesses was given by Frank Bergen, 12 years of oge. The couple had evidently been practicing upon their mandolin and guitar, for only a few minutes before the 'first signs of trouble appeared the music of these instruments was heard in Emmet's apartments. Suddenly the front door was thrown open bv Mrs. Emmet who pushed their little 8-year-old protege. Baby Sinnott, out on the front porch ahead of her. “I’ll shoot you. I’ll kill you" yelled Emmet who was then in the front room. “No. you wont,” answered his wife, as she closed the door and hastily inserting a key snapped the lock. Pushing Baby Sinnott aside, Mrs. Emmet ran along the sidewalk. Emmet rushed to the front window,” which he threw open, and started to spring to the ground, a distance of s^c feet In doing so his foot caught on the window sill and he fell in a heap in the garden, striking his face against the stoue coping, causing his nose to bleed freely. In the actor's hand was a revolver. Springing to his feet, lie cleared the low fence at a bound and started in pursuit of bis wife. After running a block the woman stopped and looked back and then resumed her flight. She cried loudly for help as she ran. At this point a pathetic feature appeared in the drama. Baby Sinnott, hearing Mrs. Emmet’s cries for “help,” pined in the race, fear and desperation lending speed to her little feet. Near the corner Emmet caught u]$ with the terror-stricken woman, and as she turned the corner, he drew his pistol and fired. With a scream Mrs. Emmet fell to the sidewalk, slightly wounded. Once more he advanced toward the woman as though to finish his bloody work, but as he Mveled his pistol the baby sprang upon him and seized the hand that held the weapon. « The actor paused and looked at the little^ one in astonishment, for he had not seen her before. Pushing her from him. Emmet stepped back a pace or two and slowly placed the muzzle of the weapon against his temple. Baby Sinnott again sprang upon the full grown man. She seemed to climb up his limbs. In an instant a little hand was gripping the barrel of the revolver, which she dragged away from the man’s temple. She clung to his arm so that he could not use the weapon again. Emmet stood for a moment as one bewildered and then with his left hand he threw the weapon into the garden on the corner. Then it was that the little 8-year-old heroine collapsed and fell to the sidewalk in a faint. Bystanders quickly gathered, and one' picked up the child. No one would touch the man, who walked up the street and sat upon his doorstep until the officer arrived. . Mrs. Emmet was assisted to a doorstep near by,' where she sat moaning until the officers took her to the Receiving hospital. The police stated that Emmet was undoubtedly under the influence of liquor at the time of his arrest. According to a friend’s-story Emmet and his wife have not lived happily together since they arrived in this city, and their quarrels drove Emmet almost crazy at times. Mrs. Emmet is also said to have caused Emmet to put all the property ^fT^en^ to him by his father into her name. According to the same informant she has lived extravagantly and Emmet now has but little ready money. It is said Emmet’s most intimate friends have been fearing that something of a tragic nature would happen before long and they are not at, all surprised that he tried to take the life of his wife. Other friends take the opposite view, and state that the fault is on Emmet's side; that he was abusive to his wife, who, they say, was a model helpmate, and that when he was in his cups the actor was unbearable. «

A Reconciliation — Emmet Takes the Pledge. San Francisco, June 10.—Mrs. Emmet is entirely out of danger. An opi eration has disclosed the fact that the | bullet had riot entered the head. She claims she was not shot, but simply struck with the butt of a. pistol, the j shot going into the air. Thie hospital physicians stick to the theory that the wound was made by a bullet. Emmet claims the entire thing is a blank to him. He was released on $3,000 bail. He immediately ! took the pledge, and says he will never drink another drop. There was an affectionate scene between the two after the release, and all was forgiven. — WHITELAW REID'S MOTHER DIm ia the Home Which Had Been Her Home for Seventy Tears. New York, June 10.—Hon.

dshu.1, June iv.—toe news oi me Franco-Russian loan of 5SO.OOO.OOO to China has proved to be a disagreeable surprise both to the government and to the leaders in financial circles who had been relying upon official action to secure a large share ot the Chinese loan for Germany, immediately upon receipt of the news of the Russian coup the members of a German syndicate of which the royal zehanlund is the# head, communicated with the financial department of the governmenl upon the prospects of Germany’s securing the main indemnity loan which will amount to $150,000,000 or $300,000,000 and negotiations were also resumed by the syndicate with the London Rothschilds on the question of the co-operation of English bankers in the scheme. The syndicate has received prompt assurance that the govA-nment will intervene to obtain for Germany a share in such further financial arrangements as China may require. As the $80,000,000 now guaranteed by Russia covers only the indemnity to Japan for tiie surrender of the Liao Tung- peninsula German fianancial houses are confident that China must have recourse to them to float the larger loan, which Russia could not guarantee nor French financiers supply without outside assistance. The German syndicate with the approval of the government will therefore seek an entente with the Engl ish financial houses in the matter of the larger loan. In the meantime the political importance of the Franco-Russian arangement is keenly felt, and it is probable that that loan will not be admitted S into the German and English markets. This, at least, is the feeling of the syndicate, which includes in its. membership the Bleichroeders, the National Bank of Germany, Behren <fc Sons, of Hamburg; Von Der Heydt *fc Co., the Dresden bank, the Scliaafthausen Bank Verein and other lead- *• ing financial institutions. HOSTILE TO INTERVENTION IN TURRET.

The..ehancellor has been approached hf Russia upon the subject of a conference of ambassadors .in regard to the Turkish situation, but has not yet given any reply. GERMANY AND THE ARMENIAN OUTRAGE8. The North German Gazette whose articles on the subject are in strong contrast to those of most of the other papers which denounce the porte, continues a mild defense of the sultan. Referring to the demands made upon Turkey by the three powers, the Zeitung says the porte seems to be doing all it can to abate or counteract the religious hatreds which are disturbing the Turkish empire; and the Christian powers ought certainly to give the sultan credit for desiring' peace within his realm and not make demands with which he is unable to comply. The language of the Zeitung gives strength to the report that the sultan is being supported by German and Anstrian influences.. .1 . DENOUNCES THE MAD POLICY OF THR ENGLISH LIBERAL CABINET. Tbe Pesther Lloyd, whose editor. Dr. Max Faik, has a leading official, position upon the foreign committee of the Hungarian delegation, denounces the niad policy of the English liberal cabinet in reversing the traditional friendship of England toward Turkey to the advantage of Russia. Dr. Falk is now in Vienna with the I Hungarian delegation,, and has the best possible chance of knowing the views of' the imperial government, which his article undoubtedly expresses. The Pesther Lloyd calls upon Count Goluchowski to explicitly and emphatically declare his policy, in order to prevent an outbreak of war, by announcing that the triple alliance, desiring to keep the peace in the Balkan peninsula, will intervene to restore the normal relations between the porte and the powers. The Vassische Zeitung expresses tfH opinion that the situation was never at any time so Critical as it is now, since the Russian armies were before Constant'nople.
