Peking, June 14.
Very little political news having transpired this afternoon the chief interest seems to have been transferred to the fall of an aeroplane. This excited many people by its low flight over various parts of the city and finally it crashed. Details are somewhat conflicting, but apparently the two pilots were both not very skilled and the machine came down through trying to avoid the American wireless station and fell to the westward. It crashed into a tree. In addition to the two pilots, there were nine mechanics on board who were al] more or less injured. The two pilots are lying in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in a critical condition and little hope is entertained of their recovery.—Reuter.
