AMRRICI md CHINA.
Report That We Shall Try to Prevent Dis
niemberment and Preserve the Open Door.

Nbtctdt NdbtS D'fDItch 10 lHE DUN
LoHpoS, Nov. 4-The Washington corre-
spondent OF the Chronicle says that the Ameri-
can Government has determined to exert its
utmost influence TO prevent the further dis
membcrmcnt Of China and to prevent the ex-
listing spheres Of influence being closed TO
Americans. The state Department. through
thu diplomatic representatives at Washington.
asked France. Germany and Russia to give as
surrances that the open door policy would,prc-
vail. and received verbal assurances to that
effect.
The powers interested suggested that the
United states shall be content with obtaining
n port and sphere Of influence. thus making
her participant in tho dismem herment. The
Government rejected the suggestion. II the
powers refuse to give written assurances anent
the open door policy tho United States will in
sist that China strictly observe the treaty giving
America equal rights with the other powers.
The Government contends that its rights are
violated when Russia and other powers are
able to close ports against the United States or
place American merchants at a disadvantage
compared with the Russians By discriminat-
ing tariff.
The correspondents informant. when
questioned regarding the American policy
in the event Of the powers refusing to
give the desired guarantees. said that
the United States might lodge such q
forcible protest at Pckin that when one
OF the powers rext attempted an enlargement
OF territory the Tsung. -Yamen could shield
itself behind the United States on the ground
that tho latter hat interposed itn veto The
power would then have TO deal with the United
States. not merely China.

President Ouigg Of the Republican
County Committee got fresh reports from all
tho Republics leaders and from the leaders OF
the independent Labor party yesterday and
after going over them. he made the following
statement Of the situation as he found IL:
80 far as I am able to discover from the
reports OF the Republican district leaders and
from all the other sources which may be sup
posed to know something about the condl-
tions OF public sentiment. / take. 1t that
the voting conditions this year are
in certain respects similar to those
~ last year. That Ia to say. tho Republican
party has substantially satisfied those MEM
bcrs Of the community who usually vote the
Republican ticket II has done nothing
to offend Republicans. But. on the
contrary. has pleased them by a
course 81 moderation and good judgment.
l take II that the Fusion ticket will secure Just
about that proportion Of this years registra-
tion which Gov Roosevelt had on last years
registration.
1T is safe to say that 20s.OOO votes will be
cast. Ten thousand will go to the socialistic
party. the Prohibition. the column OF blank
and defective votes and to the other erratic
columns. II. therefore. the voting conditions
were precisely those Of Last year Tam.
many would have a vote Of 10000 and We
conditions arc disturbed by the independent
Labor party. which has made a splendid cam
paign in its own way and directly to its own
people.
III the Independent Labor party Is capable OF
polling 10000 votes. the Fusion county ticket
has won. Thirty thousand labor votes would
not be a remarkable poll. 1t would be less than
one thousand votes per Assembly district.
The leaders Of the Independent Labor party
believe that their supporters are capable OF
polling $4,000 votes at the very least But. II
they poll 10000 they will have poled enough.
and the vote will stand: For the Fusion
ticket. $4,000: for Tammany Hall. l2dOOO.
As to the Assembly districts, believe that
we shall carry Tor the Republican ticket all OF
the eight districts We now hold. that IL. the
Fifth the Eighth. the Nineteenth. the Twenty
first. the Twenty NTH. the Twenty seventh.
the Twenty ninth and the Thirty-nrst i be-
lieve that we shall carry the TwenUthird, l
believe that Mr. McManus will he elected in
the Fifteenth aud the Labor leaders insist that
they will carry the Twentieth. the Twenty
fourth and tho Thrtisth.'
