men Guenther and Duester, of Wiscon-
sin. left this afternoon for the East.
During their visit they have been inves-
tigating the Chinese question; both
having voted in favor of the restriction
act. Deuster, when interviewed by an
associated press reporter, on the Speak

claring jokingly, like Tully. of Califor-
MIA, he wanted to be on the winning
side. He spoke kindly of Carlysle.

An OMciai Peace Paper.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The Chinese
Minister, on behalf his Government, de-
liyered a letter to Secretary Frelinghpy-
seu relative to AMMAN. The following
qives the spirit of the communication:
II France desires TO maintain friendly
relations with China, why should we
not discuss the matter amIoably? If
she insists upon invading the northern
part of AMMAN, where our troops are
ststioned, this indicates that she is de-
tsrmined to break the friendly tie, and
our troops there cannot remain with
folded arms, but must meet them in the
Hsld. We therefore send this eommI-
niostion to all foreign powers, showing
that an ever friendly tie is being broken.

that two days Before the election, cir

the contrary such voters were repeatedly

approach of the departure of the China
steamer seems to have inspired the
friends of the Chinese "traders" still
remaining on the City of Picking with
renewed energy. By o'clock l6 more

and it was stated this evening that now
nearly all had been landed on atiidavits

The weather vas all that comfort could
wish yesterday, yet the attendance at the
fair grounds was scarcely that which had
been expected and that which the exhibits
and the turf attractions merited. During
the forenoon the ground was visited by
probably 3,000 peonle, most Of whom were
Minneapolitans There being no pro-
gramme, the only thing to
do was to lock at the exhibits,
and it is moi assuming much to say that
they were richly repaid for the time and
trouble so occupied and occasioned.
The main building was filed almost to
crowding with spectators, as were the stock
barns.
The showmen were happy. Their tents
were crowded nearly all the day, and they
went to bed last night with the consolation
that they were reaping rich harvest.
At about eleven o'clock was the time
when the people began to arrive on the
ground in any considerable number, and
by two O'Clock there were six or seven
thousand in attendance.

The UnderWriters.

CHICAGO, Aug 20.-In his annual adj
dress at the National Underwriters asso-
citation to-day, President F. NJ. Decamp,of
Cincinnati, referred to the beneficial re-
suit of the organization of a state board
of underwriters. He said that legislation
in favor of properly built structures and a
completely conducted fire department were
the hope of insurance companies.
After the appointment of the standing
committees for the ensuing year, the con-
vention adjourned for the forenoon.
Mr.. G. A. Hollaway, of Chicago, read a
paper on ''risks," in which he deprecated
the present tendency to broaden insurance
contracts without adequate compensation,
and also the inadequate allowance made
IN rates where novel appliances which are
untried are kept in readiness for exiting
uishing fires.
G. +. Mullins advocated in paper the
compact system as opposed to the local
board system of making rates. He did
not deem local agents competent or free
enough from prejudice to do good work
for the companies. The compact system
contemplated the appointment of compe-
tent men to make rates of insurance fol-
the several districts in which the companies
do business, these men to derive their re-
muneration pro rata to the business done
by them. Adjourned till tomorrow.

called the Democratic Reform ticket, and
to be headed by the state Democratic
ticket. a committee of fifteen is to be
appointed to make arrangements. L. Nc
Hugh offered a substitute, denouncing the
late convention. but favoring its ticket.
1t also requests the resignation of the
present executive committee. The substi-
tute was lost and the committees report
adopted. Speeches were made by Charles

BLACKBURN DECLINES.

lie VIII Not Make the Z ace for the Speak
ership, but VIII Take Dash for the
United States Senate.
FRANKFORT. KY, Aug. 29.-Hon. j. G. S.
Blackburn was in the city to-day and made
known his intentions concerning the speak
ership to Col. j. StCddard Johnston, editor
of the Frankfort Yeoman. He said: Ger
tainly have no reservation when l speak
to the people through the Yeoman which l
am always glad to make my medium of
communication. l can say l am not a
candidate for speaker. For some weeks l
have made my determination known to
friends, and you are authorized to
make the announcement publica
My desire for the success of the Demo-
cratic party in congress and for the organ
ization of that body upon basis which
will insure to the best interest of the
country, is superior to any mere feeling of
personal ambition. Ardent friends and
fellow members have urged me to prose-
cute canvass for the position, and have
assured nae of substantial strength in the
caucus, but am satisfied in order to de-
feat the Vaccinations of the protectionists
and secure the election of speaker who
will reflect the true Democratic theory of
tariff for revenue only, it will be
necessary to concentrate, rather
than by having too many candidates rep
resenting similar views to promote the
chances of the common good, for by my
withdrawal Kentucky will be united in the
! fight, and 1 shall lend all my energies to
the success of that candidate who, repre-
senting the true principles of tariff reform,
shall show the best prospect of defeating
Mr.. Randall. These may be said to be the
considerations of a public nature which
have led me to this conclusion. There
are, however, personal reasons which sup
plement them and have also controlling
influence. Since the adjournment of con-
gress have been urged by many person
al friends to permit the use of my name
as candidate for the United States SEN
ate. After mature consideration I have
consented to become candidate, and you
| are authorized to announce me. do not
feel that can with propriety stand for
both places, and therefore decline the
race for speakership to devote my ener-
! gies to that of senator.

no owner was allowed to ride his own
mule, and the mule first in was to have So,
while the last one received $95. OF course
each rider was interested in getting the
long cared quadruped he rode in
first in the hopes that his own biped rode
by somebody else would be last, and he
thereby win the $95. There were six
starters, mule called Joe finishing first
and winning the SIS, while Jack and Mollie
made dead heat for last place and the
$95, and consequently they had to run
again to settle the purse. The distance
ran was half a mile, and the time made

that Jack was first out and Gipsey last,
the first winning So and the latter $95.

BIG SPECIAL EVENT.
To please the many friends of John c..
Oswald, who have expressed desire to
see his recent purchase, the five-year- old
mare Nellie S., by Swigert, move in COM
pany, a splendid race was arranged yester-
cay, to come off Friday afternoon, between
her and the celebrated PAGER Timber Jack,
owned in Michigan, who has record of
2:1815. Mr.. Oswald's mare, though but
five years old, and used at farm work this
spring, has shown trials since coming into
his possession considerably better than
2:27, and, though it is not expected she
can beat the PAGER, there is no doubt she
can make him nearly at his best.
