DISCUSSING THE ANSWER.

WASHINGTON, September 20
President Mckinley. Attorney General
Griggs and Gen. Corbin, Acting Secre-
tary of War, took dinner tonight at
the Country Club, few miles out from
the city. There was a further discus
sion of the German proposal making
punishment Of Chinese ring-leaders in
the Boxer troubles condition prece-
dent to peace negotiations, and OF our
answer thereto. Advantage also was
taken of the occasion to discuss other
phases of the situation. No new advices
had been received It was stated that
the discussion tonight advanced the
matter OF the answer to a more definite
shape, but that there had been no final
action.
The belief is almost general here
that the response will amount to a
declination to make the surrender of
the offending Chinese a condition prece-
dent to negotiations of any kind.

A DEMOCRAT APPOINTED
UNITED STATES SENATOR,

Acting Governor of Utah Takes Adj
vantage of the Governors Absence
and Gives the Senate Another
Chance to Think it Over.
SALT LAKE, Utah, September 90
While Governor Wells and Secretary Of
State Hammond were in Idaho last
night to meet Governor Roosevelt and
escort him to this city, Judge O. w.
Powers, of Salt Lake, a Democrat, was
appointed United States Senator.
The appointment was made by
Aquila Neberker, president of the Sen
ate, who is acting governor, according
to the constitution 1t was signed a
little while before midnight, at which
time the train bearing Gov. Wells was
expected to cross the line into Utah.
The last legislature was Democratic,
although the State officers are Republi-
cans. There was bitter fight for the
Senatorship between A. nv. McCune, of
Salt Lake, and Congressman w. II.
King. An adjournment was taken
without breaking the deadlock. The
seat has remained vacant.
The Democrats discovered last night
they had the acting governor Mr.
Nebeker consulted lawyer and was
told he had power to make the appoint
ment. He accordingly did so. The
State seal was locked up and could not
be obtained, but Nebeher's legal advis-
ers maintained his action was valid any
way.
The appointment was drawn carefully
in legal form, signed and witnessed. A
formal acceptance will be filed with the
Secretary of State.
State Senator Nebeker said to-day
that he had mot been officially notified
that Governor Wells was in Utah, and
until so notified he would institute all
the reforms that ought ito be in force
under Democratic administration.
