As a result Of his efforts in their behalf.
the employees of the post office who served

regard. His death, coming. as 1t did. right

deep grief to them. In speaking of the

ing under him as did Mr. Willett. He lost
no opportunity to advance the interests of
the men, and succeeded in obtaining greater
allowances and consequently raised more
salaries in the office than any two Of his
predecessors. Mr.. Willett was very con-
siderate of his clerks. and when he went
out of office we were only too glad to pre-
sent him with as handsome a testimonial
as we could possibly afford. His untimely
end has affected US deeply. and is felt the
more severely Ls a result Of the sad acct
dent taking place in our building
Mai Bells sentiments are echoed by
every clerk and employee in the post Office.

POLICY IN THE ORIENT

COUNT OAss1NI DECLINES TO TALK,

But Says He May BE More Communicative
Make, and That He will Go to War for
with England at His Back-Special
Stories from the National Capital as to
Our Eastern Interests,
Washington, Nov. S.-Count Cassini,
Russian ambassador, denies in toto the
story that the European powers are GO
ing to demand that the United States
declare her policy as to China. Says
he never heard of it in Europe
Washington, Nov. 8.-There is not
lacking conclusive evidence that there
exists an understanding between the
United States and Great Britain re-
garding the share each shall have in
the partition of the Chinese empire.
Japan is expected to side with these
two countries in their demands Con-
firmation of the statement that the con-
tinental nations that are plotting for
a slice of China will inquire into the
motives of the United States and Great
Britain came yesterday in the shape Of
an admission by Count de Cassini, the
Russian ambassador.
Would Neither Affirm Nor Deny.
Count de Cassini said: "The state
ments in the newspapers that l have
been charged with a mission to unite
with my colleagues and invite the
United States to declare her policy in
regard to China, either choosing u
sphere of influence Ga port to be under
her jurisdictiOn) or declaring for the
'OpendoOr' policy, must decline to af-
firm or deny. l have not as yet time
to look around me. I must ascertain
the American news and sentiment be-
fore | give out statements on such in
teresting and absorbing questions
Later l may have something 10 say"
Demands the "Open Door" Policy,
From a high official authority has
been obtained this outline of the sit
Uation:
Il. The United States demands that
the 'open-doOr' policy be continued
-. That none of it's treaty rights
shall in any manner be disturbed by
foreign powers Selling Chinese terri
tory.
''3. That American trade and com
merce shall be granted the same rights
as the country owning particular port
enjoys. ...--..
II. That each power Selling territory
shall furnish a written agreement to
continue in force all treaty rights now
existing between the Chinese empire
and the United States.
'5. Great Britain, having always
maintained open ports, will cooperate
with the United States in securing it's
demands.
If Diplomacy Fails, Then War?
IS. These demands once having been
made must be enforced.
81. It is believed that all the de-
mands of the United States will be
granted.
%. It is hoped diplomacy will secure
the concessions asked, but in the event
it fails, other and more rigorous meth
DDS must be used.
SO. Because of possible trouble the
Asiatic squadron is being strengthened
to it's maximum.
40. It is not the purpose of the Unit
ed States to seize a Chinese port or a
sphere of influence, it being the inten-
ton of the government to protect all
United States interests in all ports
and provinces of China"

KEYSTONE, JERSEY AND BAY STATE
All Go Republican and All by Heavy Plu-
ralities.
Philadelphia, Nov. Estimates from
all of the counties in the state indi-
cate Barnetts (RepD plurality over
Greasy Dem.) to be 125, 1888 In the
same counties the estimates were nee
essarily based on meagre information
and complete returns may change the
figures here given. In 1897, when
Swallow Qndj carried ten counties in
the state, the plurality of Beacon
(Rep) was 1911 and in 1925 the pIu
rality for Haywood (Rep) was ia ,264.
One representative in congress was
elected in Pennsylvania In the Ninth
district, comprising Berks and Lehigh
counties, Captain H. D. Green Dem0
was chosen by a majority of 5000 to
succeed d. NJ. Ermentrout, deceased.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. S.-The returns
indicate that the Republicans have car
ried the state by about 10000 plurality,
although there was no direct vote on
state ticket the Republicans will
control both houses of the legislature
by good working majorities and will
have an increased representation in
the house of assembly.
Boston, Nov. S.-The Republicans
carried Massachusetts Yesterday by
$4,000 votes electing w Murray Crane
governor. The entire Republican state
ticket was elected by practically the
same plurality as the head of the tick
ct and the legislature Of 1900 will also
be Republican by the usual large ma
jority. there being few changes in
either branch. The total vote for gov
ernor, with one town missing, was as
follows: W. Murray Crane (Rep), 1885,
S46; Robert Treat Paine, Jr., Dem),
103, 812. The senate of 1900 will stand
81 Republicans to 9 Democrats and
the house 166 Republicans, 20 Demo
Gratis, Socialists and Independents
This shows a loss Of two Republican
senators and three Republican repre-
sentatiyeS. In addition to the three
Republican places the Democrats this
year have also filled two seats held by
Independents last year
The Democrats had no difficulty in
carrying the city of Boston. For the
past three years the city has Endorsed
the Republican candidate for governor,
but this year Robert Treat Paine, Jr.,
the Democratic nominee. received a
plurality of 6,196 over w. Murray
Crane (Rep). Paines total vote was
81, 500 and Crane received 1886. Last
year WOlcott (Rep) carried the city by
a plurality of 1897 over Bruce DEM.

imperialist, who ran on an indepen-
dent ticket was defeated by the regu.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS COMING.
A Big Enterprise for Valley District
Preston County gets move on
Railroad will help.

An important land sale for Valley
District was closed up here in King
wood, Monday of this week and the
deed made. The land sold was the
old home place of Gen. George w.
Fairfax near Reedsville, consisting
of about 600 acres of fine land and it
used to be a magnificent estate, but
is sadly out OF repair now and the
buildings all gone to rack and ruin.
It was purchased at public sale a
few years ago by w G. Brown, of
this place, and Gay Fairfax and the
Watson Brothers, of Reedsville, for
about $1,000 and they have been
using it since to pasture and fatten
cattle. They have now sold it to RIM.
Arthur, of Roscoe, Pa, town near
Pittsburg, for $4,000 The new pro
prietor has plenty OF money and pro-
poses to spend about $4,000 on the
place. He expects to build mag
nifcent residence Oh the site OF the
old homestead and use it tor sum
mer hotel for his friends in and
about Pittsburg and will build new
fencing all over the place and erect
out buildings of all kinds, suitable
for the property. He does not get
possession till April lst, except that
he puts in a saw mill at once to be-
gin saving lumber for building pur-
poses. This enterprise of Mr.. Ar
thurs means a big thing Tor the
people of that section and that much
spent up there ought to help consid-
erably, then besides that, the far
reaching effects when summer guests
come out there In years to come and
spend their money, is hard to esti-
mate. Now if we can get the rail
road built on through to Morgan
town, with direct connection for
Pittsburg by both land and water
transportation, it will be big thing
all around. -Kingwood Argus

vides that local questions shall be de-
cided in the districts interested. The
thick and thin vein differential and
the differentials in the various pools
OF the Monongahela river are to be Sc
cured in the Pittsburg district. The

garded as disposing Of the question OF
