political organizations In the senate
when it meets in December, neither
one OF which will have majority. The
Republicans will have three or four
more votes than the Democrats and the
Populists senators will hold the balance
OF power. In this condition Of affairs
neithe. political party can, OF it.

while !, as an individual senator,

power TO reorganizc the senate"

 Dates-Postal Notes.

Washington, D. C., Aug. H.-(Special.) ) There is considerable quiet missionary work being done hereahy the free silver leaders. Plans are being formulated and deeply laid schemes are being formed to construct free silver blanks for the plat form of the democratic convention. The contest is on, and the advocates of sound money had better be up and a-doing.
 Ex-Senator Butler of South Carolini has submitted plan to Senator's Jones and Harris of the democratic silver com mittee, which shows the tendency of the situation of the latter conference. Next years battle will be fought out be- fore the people on the financial issue.
 The present indications foreshadow a struggle in each of the national commit tees as to when the conventions shal! an early date, while the sound money men desire short campaign.

STATE DEPARTMENT TRANQUIL.
Confident That the Chinese Government Will
 Set Matters Right

Washington, Aug 21.-The state de- partment officials do not take serious view of the failure of Consul Hfxson to obtain admission to the hearings which the authorities are conducting, and are certain that the general government at Pekin will set matters right It is un-l derstood that a star chamber inquiry is benig made by officials of the province
 in which Kuchgen is situated and these are not aware of the promise of the tsung Ii yamen, or board of foreign affairs, to allow Great Britain and the United States to make the fullest and freest in- vestigation. When Minister Denby rep- resents to the tsung Ii yamcn that the American commissioner is being ham pered in his effort to obtain all neces- sary facts, orders will be issued directing the authorities of the province to admit. Mr Hixson to the hearings and afford him opportunities to obtain any informa- tion he may desire.

the date of sale. I cannot see how it could be otherwise. Read in connection with the ensuing sentence it becomes very plain-"He shall also post a copy of this law and a copy of said list at the court house and at some public place in each precinct in the county; those posted notices shall be sufficient" All these notices are intended to be displayed or exhibited contemporaneously and for the three weeks next prior to the commence ment of the sales.
 B. am of the opinion that you may properly supply the various probate judges with the printed copies of this act, which are required by them to be posted, one at the court house door and one at each public place in each precinct: It seems to me otherwise to the adyer- Using of these tax sales and the lists 1n- cident. thereto; this latter is under the control of the probate judge in each county. In the first portion of section it is unequivocally declared to be his duty to publish the lists in the papers and to post copies of the law, etc, etc, in each precinct. The latter part or sec tion provides that the expense ot such advertisement shall be paid out or the proceeds of the sales at the same rate that is now paid for advertising land for tax sales. The bills for such adver- tisement must be first sent,to the audi tor of the state and be approved by nm before payment by the probate judges.
 A. Your fourth question presents an in- quiry of some little difficulty, but on the whole I am inclined to think that parties redeemed under section or the act above mentioned are required to pay the fees specified in section of the same. Furthermore, the auditor shall make. deed to such parties so redeeming under section very much as though the lann had been sold at public outcry. Ihe proper form of such deed of redemptioh has already been passed upon by this department, and differs in it's recitals from the form to be used in case Of sales but not in it's effect 1t is in fact a deed. It must be remembered in this connec. ton that the act treats exclusively or lands which have been In the possession of the state for more than two years and to which it has a clear and uncond1- tional title Persons wishing to re ac- auire such property have no equity when a court will enforce. Title has passed from them into the hands of the state, and the state in dispossessing itseif or if to anyone must give deed to all US right. title and interest in the same. Yours very truly,

ducted in the proper manner and that his conviction of the crime of treason was based on the fiimsiest evidence. It will be a matter of a very short time. a few weeks perhaps, before Secretary Olney will instruct Ambassador EsuSti5 to secure Walters release and make claim for indemnity against the French govern ment on account of the confisc1tion of his concession.
 Instructions were sent to Minister Eus- tis July 31 to press his emphatic request for a copy of the record of the evidence on which the ey-consul was declared felop Mr Eustis failed to secure the record and on August further instruc- tions were sent him, even more emphatic than the first Communications received from the ambassador tell of his efforts to secure a copy of the record of the French ministry for foreign affairs ana of his several failures through the tenn porizing policy pursued by the author- ites. After considerable delay and re- peated requests he has been furnished copy of the charges and specifications and of the sentence imposed upon Wal Ter He then renewed his demand for a copy of the evidence and was at flrs' told that it would be granted very soo' |. as the record had been received ie France. But, according to his latest $ vices to this government, the Fr7 ministry has told him, with that lack o. consistency which appears to nave marked the entire negotiations, that the record of evidence is in Madagascar anu cannot be furnished without great delay.
 The statement that this government has done all that could be done to bring the Waller case to a speedy adjustment is unauestionable The demand for Wal ler's release would have been made thls month if the state department had not been actuated by desire to obtain Tor him the indemnity for the confiscation of the rubber concession. According 70 the view taken by the president and Sec retary Olney compliance with demand for Walters immediate release would practically have ended the case and left little ground for a claim for indem- nifty. It is the desire of the government to make it's efforts to secure the freedom of Waller dependent upon the question of indemnity and thus make the French do full justice to the imprisoned man. As matters now stand Walters prospects are very hopeful and his release is as sured even if the indemnity fails to be forthcoming.
 The amount of the indemnity to be asked will be more than $1 ,00n 000 The exact sum cannot be ascertained, but the probabilities are that it has not been determined upon.
 The repoI4 that Waller is dying of consumption in prison is giving the state department some uneasiness, but the in- formation is not believed to be strictly accurate as the latest letters from Wal Ter said the chills and fever from which he suffered had left him and that his health was much improved.
