TO PRESERVE CHINA ENTIRE.
What Japan VIII Insist on-Less Fear
of Russia.

Yokohama, Sept. 1.-THE absence OF
anything like enthusiasm on the part OF
the japanese over the good work which
their army has done in China is attracting
universal comment The news of the fell
of Peking caused scarcely a ripple of ex-
element. The determining cause is un-
doubtedly the deepseated distrust of the
outcome of the Chinese complications and
the popular conviction that its results will
be a humiliation like that forced on the
nation in 1885,
There is, Lowever, a decided resolve
that the slightest attempt to trihe this
time will be resented with all the force
that self.respecting nation can muster.
Japan wants no territory as reward, but
will insist, first of all, on the preservation
of the integrity of China, not with any de-
sire to form an alliance with the latter as
a menace to the West, but rather as the
fulfillment of the national hope that
China shall become member of the body
of civilized Powers, as Japan herself has
become. She deems it reproach that
the oldest Power in the world should be
allowed to remain outside the pale of the
world.
Another imperative demand will be
such guarantee by the Powers of Japan's
paramount influence in Corea as shall eft.
fectually prevent any encroacLment there
on by Russia, and thus remove all posi-
bility of a future clash with that Power.
Apart from the manifestation of good
feeling which has come from the fraterni-
cation of the japanese and Russian troops
in China, a strong conviction has arisen
that Russia's power has been overrated,
and Japan's confidence in herself in the
event of g conflict has been correspond
ingly increased.

TazeweIl College.

Recently movement was started by
the Christian Church, at Tazewell, for the
purpose of purchasing and improving
Tazewel College. A meeting vas held
and committee was appointed, of which
Rev. Philip Johnson is chairman, Rev. j.
N. Harman, secretary, and Geo. w. Gil
lespie, treasurer.
That committee, under instructions, has
taken up the question of the purchase of
the Tazewell College property and have
gotten out prospectus showing the pro-
posed scope of the work.
The committee at a meeting recently
held decided TO raise $4,000 as mini
mum amount, S., 900 of which should be
used in purchasing the present property
and such adjoining lands as the committee
may think necessary, etc, and $4,000 to
be expended in the erection of a brick
building to be used exclusively for Col
lege purposes. The committee decided to
proceed at once to solicit subscriptions.
This is a very important movement, and
if successful will add greatly to the educa-
tional interests of Tazewell, and will be Of
great benefit to the business interests.
The movement should, therefore, receive
the hearty support of the citizens, and the
business men, especially, should show
their appreciation.

China to meet them with cash payments

China to meet them with cash payments
causes concern.
Great Britains indemnity, it is believed
here, will be not less than sixty million
francs, while Russias will not be far below
this. Frances indemnity will be in the
neighborhood of 30,0O0,000 francs, and
that of the United States, it is thought,
will not be so large, on account of most OF
the American troops going from the Phil
ippine Islands. In order to meet these
great claims, it is possible that some re-
forms in the internal administration of
China, may be necessary, though their ma
ture is not yet considered.
1t is said that Russia has not heard from
her minister at Pekin for some days, and
the messages of Nj. Pichon, the French
minister at the Chinese capital, are also
delayed, thus not permitting the govern
ment to gain any new knowledge In regard
to the evacuation terms which are to ha
given these officials. 1t is asserted here
that France and Russia are acting in l,r-
feet harmony, and that they will certainly
remain in accord in their negotiations for
peace.

other ways after having been outraged,

atrocious conditions. General Chafee

This is phenomenal campaign in one
respect. There is phenomenal number
of leading Democrats who are spologizing
for supporting Bryan.
What do you think Of letting we'll
enough alone? Don't you think it will be
wiser to do 80 than to run the risk OF
changing the situation?
Cotton is higher than it has been for
years. Mr.. Bryan predicted four years
ago that cotton would be lower than ever,
if the gold standard won.
Dave Bailey says the Democratic party
is like fellow riding backwards on a rail-
way train. He never sees anything along
the line until be passes it.
The Democratic papers are very indig.
nant because Mark Hanna calls Bryan q
hypocrite; but Mark will continue to give
him that name, and the people will en-.
dorse Marks conduct in November.
A Washington telegram says Senator
Jones has placed New York in the "prob-
able" column for Bryan. That is the
right thing, as Bryan is in the probable
column, and it is eminently proper to
place everything claimed for him in 1t.

News comes from Chicago that William
Jennings Bryan will declare himself op.
posed to the disfranchisement Of the negro
in the South. He will hardly have the
courage to denounce the men who will
give him the electoral vote of the South
by fraud and disfrancbising the negro. 1t
will be equivalent to denouucing theft and
then becoming the receiver OF stolen
goods.
j. Taylor Ellyson, chairman Of the Dem.
ocratic party, says: 81 will risk my po-
litical reputation on the prediction that
Virginia will elect ten Democratic Con-
gressmen at the coming election" If he
had said that he would risk his political
reputation on the prediction that ten
Democrats would be counted in from Vir.
ginia, it would have been more correct and
more in keeping with his well known rep
utation as political manipulation.
A young man who votes ct this precinct

man didn't like it; but when Rhea said
the Government had fed our soldiers dur
ing the Spanish War on rotten beef the
young man became thoroughly indignant
and left the speaking. He had been a
soldier in the Spanish War and said the
beef that was furnished him 10 eat was the
finest he ever ate. The young man said
he could not tolerate such lies as Rhea
was telling about the Administration, and
wouldn't listen TO him any longer

BRYAN HARD HIT BY DEMOCRATS.
The Maryland Honest Money League
Riddles and Repudiates the Sill
yer Leaders, Policy.

Baltimore, Sept. 1.-THE Honest Mon
ey Democratic League, of Maryland, threw
itself into the Presidential fight today.
II has been rumored for some weeks that
the organization would again be found
fighting against Bryan, but the details OF
reorganization have been kept from the
public until today.
A meeting of the members of the ole
Committee of Seventy was held today,
declaration of principles was presented
and signed, officers and an Executive
Committee we're elected and the work OF
the league was fairly launched.
The declaration Of principles adopted
sets forth tha: there is no difference be-
tween the Bryan of 1896 and the Bryan OF
1900. 1t then goes on to say in part
"Mr. Bryan has no attachment to Dem
ocralic principles or traditions. His at

TO CUT OFF BOER SUPPLIES
Fighting Said TO Be In Progress at
KOmatiport.

Lorenzo Marques, September lS'-
Fighting is proceeding at Komatlport.
All the available men have been sent to
the frontier. 1t is expected that Komau
bridge will be destroyed. There is great
uneasiness here.
Komatiport is town on the frontier OF
the Transvaal and on the railroad leading
from Pretoria to Portuguese territory. 1t
is situated about fifty miles from Lorenzo
MARQUES. With the occupation of Ko'
matiport. the British would be able to cut
off all supplies reaching the Beers by rail-
road.
London, September l9.-Lord Roberts
reports from Machadodorp under date OF
Monday, September II, that few sklr-

General French has captured fifty locomo'
tives. in addition to the forty-three loco
motives and other rolling stock which lie
took when he occupied Barberton, Sep
tember IL, and that General Stephenson
was expected to occupy Nelsprit during
the afternoon of september II.

THE BAD COMMUNICATIONS.
An Argument in Favor of an information
al Conference.

Paris, September 16.-The unsatisfacto-
nv condition of cipher messages which
reach the powers from representatives in
China, especially at Pekin, has brought
forward prominently the suggestion OF an
international conference at some Europe
an capital. A point which gives addition
al weight to the plan is appreciation of the
difficulty of reaching amicabe results
among the ministers at Pekin, many OF
whom have been antagonstic in their poll
cies during their stay there during the last
few wears. Could they obtain direct and
Quick communication with the Eome gov
ernments, the tangles would be straighten-
ed out, but under the present conditions
this seems to be impossible.
An argument advanced against the pro-
posed conference is the difficulty of the
powers being represented by men fully
conyersant with all the latest phases of the
far Eastern question.
Some of the details Which will be urged
in connection with the peace terms are
discussed in diplomatic circles here. One
point strongly urged on the part of France
il the permanent continuance of the inter
national agreement now in force, prohib
iting the expectation of arms in China
This is believed to be strong measure o.
precaution against a recurrence OF the de-
termined assault ON foreigners. A de-
mand ls also made for reduction OF the
Chinese forces holding Taku and Wot
Sung, which are the main coast defenses o
Pekin and Shanghai, to keep open more
secure route to these cities.
The question of indemnity and how i
will be paid is a serious problem. The In
IDENTITIES are divided into three classes
those payable to the States to the societies
and to the individuals. The amount
which the various States will demand VII
reach an enormous sum and the ability o

NO POWER TO TREAT.
Position Taken by Ministers and Gen-
erals at Pekin.

September 15.-At meeting of foreign
ministers here it has been decided that
they had no power at present to treat with
Prince Ching. The generals of the powers
also think they cannot treat with the
Prince. The Russian legation, it is under
Stood, has been ordered to be withdrawn,
and this is believed to indicate that the fu-
ture of China must be decided by an inter-
national committee in some foreign capital
Sir Robert Hart, the director of the
Chinese imperial maritime customs, has
informed the foreign generals they must
be prepared for future hOstilities; that the
Chinese troops are concentrating and mov'
ing on the line of communication between
Pekin and Tien Tsin, and that he thought
trouble might be expected by November.
General Chahee believes Pekin has
sufficient troops to hold out against any
attack.
Prince Ching informed Mr.. Conger that
the Emperor is anxious to return to Pek'n
and make all proper reparations. The
Prince says the Emperor and the entire
court are in a small village sixty miles
away. He will not endeavor to negotiate
until the arrival of Ii Hung Chang, who
is expected here shortly.
Lieutenant Benjamin b. Hyer, COM
manding sixty men of the Sixth Cavalry,
was recently attacked near here by 500
Boxers. He put them to rout, his force
killing twenty-five of them and capturing
some rifles and treasure. There were no
American casualties.

II Is Now Confidently Asserted That
First Estimates Were Too
Conservative.
BAD SANITARY CONDITION.
Many of the Bodies Are Being Burned, But
The Wreckage Cannot Be Destroyed
In This Way, For Fear of COmplet-
ing City's Destruction.

Austin, Sept. 15.-'I am Thoroughly
satisfied, after spending two days IN Gal'
weston, that the estimate of 5000 dead is
too conservative. 1t will exceed that
number. Nobody can even estimate or
will ever know within 1000 Of how many
lives were lost"
This is the opinion of Assistant State
Health Officer l. ]. Jones, who has ar
rived here directly from Galveston, where
he was sent by Governor Sayers to inveati-
gate the condition of the State quarantine
station. DR.. Jones made an inspection OF
the sanitary condition of the city, and IN
bis report says, further
"It was with the greatest dithculty that
l reached Galveston. At the quarantine
situated IN the Gulf, a mile and hall
from the wharves, found things in astate
of ruin. The quarantine warehouse and
disinfecting barge, just completed, are
total wrecks, as is also the quarantine
wharf. A part of the quarantine residence
is left standing, but so badly damaged that
it is not worth repairing.

Committee. is $95, 100000. One of the
Galveston business men sent to Austin to
confer personally with Governor Sayers
Oh the work of relief inclines to the belief
that the immediate losses might, without
exaggeration, be placed at $S5, 100000.

THE GULF FULL OF BODIES.

"The waters of the gulf and bay are still
full of bodies, and they are being constant
" cast upon the beach. On my trip to
and from the quarantine station | passed
a procession of bodies going seaward. l
counted fourteen Of them on my trip from
the station, aud this procession is kept up
day and night. The captain of ship who
had Just reached quarantine informed me
that be began to meet floating bodies fifty
miles from the port.
GAS an illustration of how high the
water got in the gulf, a vessel which was
in port tried to get into the open sea when
the storm came on, 1t got out some dis
tance and had to put back. 1t was dark
and all the landmarks had been oblter'
ated The course of the vessel could not
be determined, and she was being furious
" driven in toward the island by the
wind. Before her course could be estab'
lished she had actually run over the top
of the north jetty. AS the vessel draws
twenty-five feet of water some idea can be
obtained as to the height Of the water in
the guilt.
