Instead of quarreling or pulling at
cross purposes. suppose that every per-
son who has any influence would use it
to get this appropriation and push
these improvements, and by this time
next year there will have been spent
in the Sacramento River below Sacra-
mento 100000 or more for wingdams,
and from $4,000 to $4,000 in dredg-
and the easement at Elkhorn shall have
been constructed-what kind of a river
would we have?
In our Judgment great relief will have
been secured to commercial interests
with surprising incidental benefit TO
reclamation interests.
The citizens of Sutter and Yuba
Counties have petitioned the board to
DO some work at the mouth of Butte
Slough and Tisdale's break, and al
though this specific work is not men
toned in the report Of the Commits
sioner, we trust a way will be found
to enable the board to legally grant
such petitions and recommendations
when the plan of improvement is rea-
sonable ir cost and its execution an ap-
parent necessity to navigation and par
tial security from floods. AS soon as
the engineers make a report on the
dredger, the Auditing Board will be
able to take intelligent action on the
matter
The duties of the Auditing Board are
arduous and trying. and While the
members perform these duties at great
personal sacrifice-being very busy
men-they do so cheerfully and without
compensa ton, and endeavor to trans
act the business of the State with as
close attention to details and with as
strong desire TO secure good an0 per-
manent results as if they We're devot-
ing the time to their personal affairs;
and they sincerely hope to receive the
hearty support and assistance of all
citizens Interested in the great work
undertaken, improvement of the navi-
gable rivers and making reclamation
easier. JOHN MARKLEY,

THOMAS AT CAMDEN.

His Speech a Full Presentation of Issues.
Hamlet, n. c., Sept. 22.-(Special.) }
Hon. Charles II. Thomas, the Democrat
ic nominee for Congress for the Third
district, spoke at Cameron today to a
good audience. His speech of one hour
and a half made a good impression and
was a full presentation of issues.
After defending his position as Il Con
greSsional candidate on national issues,
standing squarely for all demands Of the
national Democratic platform, he dis
cussed State politics, showing the N
consistency of the Populist leaders in
the fusion movement, their broken plat
form pledges, failure of reform prom
iSed, scandal and disgrace brought upon
North Carolina by fusion.
He compared the. records of Republi-
can, Democratic and fusion administra-
tions and closed by an eloquent appeal
for good government and white suprem-
acy.
Mr.. Thomas speaks tomorrow at Car
thage and then will return to Harnett
and Cumberland. 1t is said that if Fow-
Ter, POpulist nominee. is endorsed by the
Republican convention he will be
scratched from the fusion ticket through
out the district by Republicans who op-
enly refuse to support him. The Re
publican convention meets at t'1yettc-
vile September 29th.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Aceording to

the Colonial Government of the Island

Six hundred voters heard Aycock and

of them were Democrats and the others
Populists and Republicans.
l feel perfectly sure that there was rct

Pekin Sept 22.-An Imperial edict
Just issued definitely announces that the
Emperor of China has resigned his pow
err to the Empress Dowdger Empress)
who has ordered the Ministers to deliver
to her in future their official reports.
1t is difficult to obtain reliable infor-
nation at the Palace in regard to the
proceeding, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably caused the change.
While the Emperor was subservient and
mere igurehead, the D0wager per-
mitted him to remain in peace, but as
soon as he attempted to act on his own
initiative his practical deposition was the
result. His principal advisor, Hang
Yumoi, the Cantonese reformeC, fled i'll
spite of the vigorous attempts made 70
arrest him, and it is said he is now on
his way to Shanghai.
In all probability Iii Hung Chang will
be reinstated in power and Russian in
fuence will increase. The hopes of re-
form SO ardently cherished by the in
telligent factions of the Chinese are now
impossible of fullflment.
The suddenness of the coup is said to
be due to the desire of the DOwager
Empress to prevent the mission of the
Marquis Ito from being successful. The
japanese statesman recently came to
pekin with the object of trying IA bring
about an alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, between japan and China.
The new order of 5hings will undOubt-
edly prejudice British interests in China.
1t is reported today that the Eext
edct viii give the full Fcasons for tine
change. The wording of the present
edict is not vet obtrinable. hut it IS in
effect that the Emperor requested the
DOwager Empress to assume power,
this being the third time the request has
been made.
The Marquis Ito in an interview before
the edict was issued, said the Emperor
received him yesterday in the most cor
dial manner and said he hoped to have
the advantage of the advice of the Mar
quis in the reforms which His Majesty
intended to Un' nke.
The Marquis, even then, feared that
the inaction and conservatism of the
Chinese officials would nullify the re-
forms, although he believed the EN-
peror was acting in good faith.

lar legation in Washington prior to the

and claims to stand for the educated
classes as against the insurgents and
illiterate. This makes two distinct Gu
ban classes-the autonomists, who are
cooperating with Spain, and the insur-
gents, who are opposed to Spain.
1t now seems clear from the official.
as well as the press reports from Ha-
vana and Madrid, that the autonomists'
element is taking up the claim first ad-
yanced by Spain that many incidental
questions as to Cuba must be settled
before the evacuation begins. But the
view among Government officials here
is that the Cuban autonomists, as well
as the Spaniards, have no questions to
advance or settle before evacuation
is determined upon. The time and place
of evacuation is looked upon by the au-
thorities here as the only point involved,
and there lis likely to be a rude awaken
ing if the pro-Spanish element, either as
autonomists or as native Spaniards, in
sist upon bringing in the determination
of the Cuban debt, future forms of gov
ernment, rates of tariff for Spain and
many other subjects, as a preliminary
to evacuation. The American commits
soners, according to the understanding
here will insist on a strict adherence
to the protocol for an immediate evacua-
| ton of the island, and if need be- will
submit an ultimatum against taking up
subsidiary questions on Cuba's future.
While the Cuban Colonial Government
is thus combining with the Spanish Gov
ernment in bringing forward these Incl
dental questions. the opinion was eX-
pressed to-day by a high diplomatic Off
GER, based on recent advices from Ha-
yana, that a serious issue would be
averted, and that the actual evacuation
Of the Spanish troops from Cuba would
begin within the next month. But it
appears that the evacuation will cover a

pated There are some 100000 Spanish
troops in the island. Allowing 1000
men on transport, and n vessel leaving

Washington, d. c., September %
Colonel William Jennings Bryan, Third
Nebraska volunteers, was at the War
Department to-day, and occasiOned as
much interest among the employees as a
returned Santiago hero Colonel Bryan
was accompanied by Governor HolcOmb
and Representative Stark, Of Nebraska.
They went first to the. Adjutant Gener-
ais office, where Colonel Bryan regis
tered, shook hands with General COrbin
and introduced the gentlemen accompany
ing him. The party was then intro
duced to Acting Secretary Meiklejohn.
General Corbin inquired as to the condi-
tiOn Of the camp at Jacksonville, and
asked if the soldiers wanted to come
home. Colonel Bryan said that he had
not made poll, but his Judgment as to
their sentiment was that they did. Col
onel Bryan then went to Army Head
quarters and called on General Miles.
Neither to the acting Secretary of War
nor to the Adjutant General did Colonel
Bryan or Governor Holcomb make any
request as to mastering out the Third
Nebraska regiment
After leaving the War Department the
party went to the White House. Here
they were cordially received by Presi-
dent Mckinley and remained in confer
ence with him for more than an hour.
They did not prefer a request for the
,musterig ont of the regiment as a whole,
but stated that there were about twenty
per cent of the members of the regiment
i'll and urged that these should be re-
lieved and sent to their homes, where
they agreed that in all probability most
of them would speedily recover, because
of the difference in the climate of Ne
braska and that of Florida. The Presi-
dent gave careful attention to all that
was said, and talked sympathetically
with his callers concerning the condition
of these men, but he made no positive
promise as to the course he should
pursue in the matter. The three Ne
braskans then returned to the War De-
partment Mr.. Bryan was dressed in the
full uniform of a Colonel and beyond
the fact that his complexion testified
to his exposure to the Southern sun he
looked very much as he did in the cam
paign days of '96.
