A MAJORITY AGAINST RUSSIA.
Williams Recent Speech May AI=y
Alarm in st. Petersburg.

LONDON, Sept. 1T is now regarded as
certain that a majority of the powers will
reject the Russian proposal looking to the
evacuation of Pekin by the allied forces.
1t is thought that Russia is willing to re-
scind the orders for the withdrawal of her
troops since the attitude of the powers
shows difference with her opinion.
Moreover, Emperor Williams speech at
Stettin IS calculated TO allay the alarm in
St Petersburg caused by the belief that
the arrival in China of Field Marshal Won
Waldersee might be the signal for extern
sive military operations. 1t is believed
here that the final declaration of the policy
of the powers will not be made until Lord
Salisbury returns to London.

CONDEMNED BY THEIR OWN ORGAN

The arbitrary action of the Democratic majority of
ard of Supervisors the last meeting is censured by
ne "Echo," their own organ, as follows:
"PooR DEMOCRACY"
1.-THE action of the Democratic members of the
Board of Supervisors at this months meeting, the
first of the week, was, speak with much charity
possible, very extraordinary and high handed
DR.. Endicott, county physician and health officer
and R. F. Allen, county hospital superintendent
rendered their designations to the Board, to take
effect before the 9Th of December, instead of
at the next regular meeting of the Board
BE it remembered that the terms of Dwyer and
Clifton, Democrats, and Brinn Republican, will ex
pire January 7th twenty-three days after the
ignations we're timed to take effect. The Republican
members of the Board opposed the acceptance of the
designations they and suggested that the Of
fcers rendering them be asked to substitute January
for December IS, as the date in the designations
This would protect the resgners against being kick
ed out and would also show the good intent of the
retiring Board and resigning officers to the incoming
Board and leave the selection of their
the Beard which will organize on January 9TH
their rghtful prerogative.
"The designations accepted, however, by
the following vote:
"Ayes-Dwyer, Clifton, Mclaughlin Demo
Gratis.
"Noes--Brinn, LeMoin Republicans
Then LeMoin made the motion which was
defeated by the Democratic members of the Board
the June meeting, after being laid from the May
session--that the Office of health officer be abolished
and the Democratic members showed their full
change of heart since that necessary office has
passed into the hands of the Republicans, by voting
to abolish it."

shot himself as he was walking
along the public highway in
the principal residential part

to release missionaries and
punish murderous Boxer vii
lagos. The result is much kill
ing OF innocent PEG. lie. looting

peror still remains away from

feating, hopes Of a speedy
treaty Of peace. The negotia-
tons have no result. Progress
is slow. The representatives
OF the powers cannot agree up
on the demands to be made

IS said to have cody announced
that she has annexed. "by right
Of conquest" Chinese territory

Now that their elections are
