WASHINGTON, Oct. A--Prnposltions Of
a far-reachinE character concerning China
are being presented in rapid succession
10 this government. The state depart
ment had no sooner disposed of one OF
these propositions today by delivering
n response 10 the German government.
than II was confronted by an even more
important proposition submitted by the
French government, and within half an
government
The answer to Germany covered the
subject Of furnishing Chinese subjects and
made known that the United states had
instructed Minister Conger along the lines
suggested by Germany. These instructions
look toward securing the names OF the
persons deserving chastisement; also
whether the punishments accord with the
gravity Of the crime committed and, final-
ly, In what manner the United states
and other powers are 20 be assured that
satisfactory punishment Is inflicted.
Aside from these specific purposes OF
the note II is regarded as important
chiefly In establishing the most satisfac-
tory relations between the governments
at Washington and Berlin.
The Franco Russian proposal takes
much broader scope, and submits a pro-
gramme under which the negotiations for
a complete settlement can he carried for

The Franco-Russian proposition Is under
four heads, namely. First. punishment of
the guilty parties. second. Introduction of
the shipment of arms into China; third.
payment of indemnity 20 the powers. and
fourth. sufficient guarantees for the fu-
ture

Resolutions.

At meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Fruit Growers National
Bank of Smyrna, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The great reaper Death has
removed from this board Mr.. Samuel Rob-
erts, who had served continuously by re-
election from the organization of the Bank
in July 1876, to the morning of the 1st of
january. therefore,
Resolved. That while we bow in submis-
sion to the will of Him who is too wise to
err; it is with profound sorrow that we part
with one so punctual in attendance, 50
genial and conservative in counsel, so con-
scientious at all times to do the right in all
things. that we all esteemed his fellowship
and association.
Resolved, That as further mark of re.
sxect, the preamble and resolutions just
read be adopted, and that the secretary OF
the Board record same on minutes of this
month of January 1900.

THE political feature of the last week
has been the Harmony" proposition
sent by J. Frank Alice, State chair
man OF the Union Republican forces,
to Hugh G. Brown, State chairman of
the Regulars" or more properly, Bolt
ing Republicans.
The proposition is a lengthy state
ment showing the distance the Union
Republicans are willing to go in
bridging the chasm which now divides
the two Republican armies. They
propose to divide all around, from
Presidential electors, down through all
the State and county offices, and in
cludes even the two United States
Senatorships which it will fall to the
lot of the next Legislature to name,
each faction, according to the propo-
sition, naming Senator.
The second clause of the paper,
briefly states that there be pull to-
gether of all the Republican voters in
buC oldbO anu l6b tuO DOSb llluu WILL
1t is assumed that the only difference
between the two factions is that of
SenatOr-not policies or principles
aud this they propose for an after
Observation-Disclosures from the
campaign and settled in the Legisla-
ture-the only place it can be brought
to proper termination. There has
been no reply from Mr.. Brown, but
the Morning Necs says it deserves
careful consideration, while the Kent
and Sussex organs remain quiet, other
than publishing the Appeal, awaiting
what the Regulars" shall say. A
gentleman from the lower part of New
Castle county who acted with the
Regulars" two years ago says the
Republicans of his part of the county
are unanimously for one ticket, be-
cause as they are both laboring for the
same principles, there is no occasion
for their throwing their opportunities
away by dividing their vote between
two tickets.

MANY people who are watching the
wool market, predict that prices will
rise and the demand continue brisk
throughout 1900. They base these
predictions on two causes. The first
is shortage in the crop last year i'll
Australia and South America crop this
year, but not nearly enough to make
up for shortage elsewhere. The sec
ond fact relied on to send the price of
wool up is the appearance already of
heavy demand for wooden goods of all
kinds for spring buying. Jobbers tell
the manufacturers that Americans with
money in their pockets and prospect
of steady wages and profitable employ
ment for a long time to come are de-
manding and will buy only all wool
garments, and the mill owners expect
to have busy time of it supplying the
demand. There is little call for shOddy
says the New York Tribune, and con-
sequently the price of raw wool is eX-
pected by some to beat all records.
Wool men have long considered 1898 a
banner year. At the beginning of that
the finest commercial wool grown,
were held at 20 cents a pound. Last
month they were quoted at 50 cents a
pound, and the end is not yet.

THE Philadelphia Press and other
papers reported deplorable condition
of things Saturday in lower Delaware,
giving the impression that a deadly
plague was setting in. There has been
nothing from there since to substan-
tiate the statements. True, the public
schools in Milford, Laurel, and per
haps other towns had been closed, but
it was precautionary it would seem.
because of few cases of diphtheris
that had developed. There does not
appear to be any alarm.

TIE question of equalizing taxes is
one that has bothered the political
fiaanciers, hence the tax on invest
isents. In the New York Legislature
a bill was introduced to assess share
holders according to their holdings,
whether the said stockholders reside
in said district or not. The bill pro-
vides that a statement shall be made
under oath stating the amount of its
authorized capital stock, the number
of shares and par value of the shares
and par value of the shares thereof,
the amount of stock paid in, the date
and, rate per centum of each. dividend
declared by it during the year, the cap
ital employed by it during the year,
the amount of its surplus, if any; the
amount, value and location of its real
estate; a complete list of the names
and residences of its stockholders, and
the number of shares held by each.

The war between the British and
the Beers in South Africa, naturally
attracts great deal Of attention the
world over. There is natural sym
pathy for the Beers who went to this
isolated spot to get away from civiliza-
tion-to live as they did two or three
centuries ago. The discovery of gold
and diamonds in the Transvaal country
has put them across the direct path of
civilization, and hence the war. The
relation of the Beers to the civilization
of Africa, can be gathered from the
following in the mission World"
from the pen of Rev. J. S. Moffat, son
Of the celebrated DR. Moffat and broth
er-in-law of DIR, Livington: ~.
With the thunderous clash of arms
sll around US, it may seem scarcely
time to secure hearing on anything
like the religious and civil warfare ol
the native of South Africa. Yet the
war now going on between white men
is being watched by the natives with
intense concern. As one of them put
il to me the other day: ''If the En-
glish win, then we black men car
breathe and live; if the Beers win, then
we may as well die. for we shall nc
more be looked upon as men, but as cat
tie: so we shall all go home and pray
to God to make the arms of the En-
glish strong" And this is really the
question of the day in South Africa
Are we to have all men, British, Boer
and aboriginal, dwelling together Will
edual rights as men under the British
flag, or are we to have the domination
Of a Boer oligarchy over British an6
blacks alike? In the Transvaal th,
block man is not human being.
