BOER FLAG CUT DOWN.
Raised Mt Bar Harbor After Arrival OF
British Squadron.

Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept. Aust after
the British ships dropped anchor IN the
harbor this morning an lncldeht VI
more than ordinary interest occurred
near the shore path. Edward van
Ness of New York swung to the pfeeze'
from a staff on his lawn, large boer
flag and addressed his friends IN de-
nunciation of the British. Inc nag
raising made the people angry ana d
dozen volunteered to cut the pole down
without further ceremony. Rear Ad-
miral Upshur (retiredl was particular
ly vexed.
Charles H. Wood, chairman OF the
board of selectmen, called on Mr.. van
Ness and politely requested tnat the
flag be taken down, but Mr.. Van Ness
refused to grant the request
Chairman Wood, together with DR.. j.
Madison Taylor, representing the board
of trade, and two police officers then
returned to the Van Ness cottage and
renewed the request OF have the flag
removed. Again the owner OF the nag
refused and defied the officers to re-
move it. Mr.. Wood thereupon applied
the knife to the halyards and the Boef
standard tloated to earth amid the
cheers of those assembled. Mr.. van
Ness is New Yorker and was one or
the committee to receive the Boer COM
missioners when they visited this
country He has been requested to re-
sign from the Gentlemen's club

4GaINST EV4GUATION or PEhIN
The Sentiment Among Foreigners Uni
yersaI and Intense.
Copyright, 1900, Associated Press.)

(Copyright, 1900, Associated Press.)
Shanghai Sept. 4.-Reports received
here from the treaty ports show that
the opposition to the allied forces evac-
uating Pekin before final settlement
with the Chinese Is arrived at is uni
versal and intense among the foreign
ers. The commercial and missionary
bodies are cabling protests to their gov
ernments. The diplomatic and military
officers, except the Russians, share this
feeling.
Lii Hung Chang, since his understand
ing with Russia, has changed front to-
wards the representatives of the other
mowers. and has been insolent and al
most insulting in his interviews with
them.
Lii Hung Chang has recommended the
dowager empress to appoint the two
southern viceroys who made the agree
ment with the consulS to keep order in
their territory, the president of the
Tsung-li- Yamen and himself as a COM
mission to treat with the powers. Ii
Hung Chang starts for Tien Tsin in a
week on a Chinese ship, conveyed by a
Japanese warship.
w. w. Rockhill, the United States
special commissioner, starts for Pekin
Thursday.

NEW YORK CONTENTION.
Platform Adopted by the Republicans
of That State.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 4-The prac-
tical work of the state convention was
completed to-day with the adoption or
the platform. There only remains the
formal naming of the candidates and
these have already been agreed upon
and known for several days.
The platform is lengthy and deals
exhaustively with state issues, ON ma
tional questions the platform speaks as
follows: The country was never SO
prosperous as 1t has been since the In
auguration of william Mckinley. Cap
ital has never been so actively occu-
pied, the volume of money in circula-
ton was never so great, labor never
so fully employed, wages never so high,
prices never so generally good.
The Chicago platform is still the dem
ocratic programme. 1t was no argu-
ment at Kansas City for the abandon
ment of the democratic policy of free
trade that, under the Dingley act our
foreign commerce for the year 1900 ex-
ceede that of any preceding year in the
great sum of S317, ,729250. and for the
first time in our history exceeds $2,000,-
100000; that in this year our exports
have been more widely distributed than
ever before and that the balance of
trade in favor of this country since the
Dingley bill went into operation
amounts to nearly $1,700, 100000. 1t was
not accepted as a sufficient argument
for the abandonment of 16 to l, that
no single democratic prediction as to
the effect of the gold standard law has
been justified: that prices instead of
declining have improved: that the vol
ume of money in circulation instead of
contracting has greatly expanded; and
that the farmer and mechanic instead
of receiving smaller proportion of the
benefits of their labor receive a greater.
But conscious Of the weakness of re-
ly on theories that have been exploded
and of ignoring facts that are self evil
dent, the democrats are undertaking to
push into conspicuous position before
the people an issue which they describe
and stigmatize by the word imperial
ISM
In this course they are characteris-
tically dishonest-first, because there is
no sentiment in the United States that
deserves to be called imperialism, anC.,
second, because the democrats do not
come with clean hands into a discussion
of popular sovereignty and the consent
of the governed
Neither in the Philippines nor else
where will the cause Of human liberty
look for it's champion to party whose
only hope of obtaining power lies in
the suppression of human rights, and
in an organized conspiracy to nullify
the guarantees with which the constitu-
ton endeaVors to surround the citizen.
From thousands of polling places in this
election, in which the democratic party
is so much concerned about the CON
sent of the governed the negro citizen
will be excluded by laws so contrived
as to keep out the negro republican,

THICKER THIN WATER. y
Cordial Reception to the British Squad
ron atBar Harbor.

Bar Harbor. Me-, Sept. 4.-This is a
great day for Bar Harbor. Seven Amer
lean and five British warships lie at
anchor sheltered by it's great mountains
and the four thousand officers and men
of the two squadrons We're entertained
by the thousands on shore in manner
that made than refer more than ever
to the old truisrn, 'blood Is thicker than
water" Bridgt and early the residents
cottagers and others were up to see
Vice Admiral G. D. Bedford, X. c. B.,
bring his five ships into port. With the
American ensign at the main, a ma
tional salute of twenty-one guns was
fired at once, the Crescent's band play
ing 'The Star Spangled Banner" Af-
ter 1t the United States flagship New
York answered with the same number
of guns the British ensign at the main
and the band playing God Save the
Queen" The smoke of the salutes had
hardly cleared away when the great
steam launches were swung out from
the fagship's side. Vice Admiral Bed
ford and his officers in full uniform
were ready to receive the visit Of Rear
Admiral Farquhar of the United States
steamship New York.
Rowed by twelve sturdy American
tackles in his handsome barge and ac-
companied by his aides the American
commander -in-chief ascended the Cres-
cents starboard gangway ladder and
was received by the British vice admir-
al and all his captains. Upon leaving
the Crescent our admiral was saluted
with seventeen guns. Soon after he had
arrived on board his own ship the Brit
ish vice admiral in his steam barge, ac-
companied by his staff, boarded the
New York and was received by Rear
Admiral Farquhar and the captains of
all the American ships. The greetings
on both sides We're most cordial. A sa-
lutte Of fifteen guns was fired for the
British commander when he left the
ship Both admirals and officers from
each ship lunched with Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Redmond at their cottage and at
2:30 the admirals and all the British
officers off duty, each escorted by an
American officer, We're driven to the ST.
Sauveur hotel, where in a large parlor
tastefully decorated with American and
British flags the two adnirals stood
side by side for two hours and with
their officers received the welcome Of
about 1000 of the residents and cot
tagers.

GERM4y OFFIcIAL's OPINION.
If Troops Withdraw from Pekin All
Foreigners Must Leave Also,

Berlin, Sept. 4.-The German foreign
office announced this afternoon that no
further news from China had been re-
ceived and that nothing was expected
until the ministers in Pekin could form
ulate an opinion regarding the question
of Withdrawing the international troops
from Chinese capital.
1T is doubtful said foreign office
official whether the foreign ministers
have yet received instructions from
their governments as to this matter.
The question of Withdrawing the troops
will meet with greater difficulties than
that of withdrawing the ministers, for,
If the troops are withdrawn, all the for
eigners must go also, because the ma
tiyes would murder them and claim 1T
as q triumph over the powers, thus Gre
ating a bad impression upon the chi
nese.
I'm various countries the newspapers
are exaggerating the situation. There
is no question of disagreement yet, for
Russia's proposition is merely under
discussion. 1t has neither been accept
ed nor rejected, but II 1t We're finally
rejected by all the powers that would
not necessarily mean the disruption OF
the entente, since there Is no ground tor
the belief that Russia would then alone
withdraw from Pekin.
The Ottasintischer-L issued July
q. which has Just arrived, contains de-
tailed descriptions of the fighting at
Tien Tsin and the relief of the town,
from the pen of a German merchant
there. The writer asserts that after
taking the native town the Russian,
French. English and American COM
mandors specifically permitted their
men to pillage He says that number
of civilians took part In the looting
Among them an English newspaper
correspondent secured 2S,oVo taeis
worth of cycee-silver. Not a single
German soldier" the merchant declares,
shared in this work or pllage which
extended also TO the European settle
ments"

FOR F1yORABLE PEACE TERMS.
Ii Hung Chang and Empress Downgcr
Said to be Lavtsh.ng Money

Said to be Iiavtshsng Money
London, Sept. 5-4:15 a. m.-Accord-
ing to Shanghai advices Ii Hung
Chang has wired the Chinese minister
in London, Sir Chih Shen Lofengluh, as
follows: Our st. Petersburg minister
has persuaded Russia to leave Pa'1in
You are useless if you cannot persuade
England"
1t is asserted that Earl Ii has prom
ised Russia three Manchurian provinces
If she secures the withdrawal of the
allies from Pekin and favorable peace
terms from the powers. Both the en-
press dowager and Ii Hung chang are
said to be lavishing money to attain
these objects.
There is no sign yet of any decision
on the part of the powers regarding the
Russian proposals. The Japanese pa
pers unreservedly condemn the idea of
evacuating Pekin and hint that here Is
a secret compact between Germany ard
Russia to the detriment of Great Brit
ain and Japan.
To-day's dispatches from Shanghai
and Tien Tsin refer to the hopeless con-
fusion and mismanagement OF the chi
nese telegraph system, which may prob
ably account in part for the delay in
getting news from Pekin. Another rea-
son for the delay doubtless, is the anX-
iety of the Chinese authorities to pro-
cure the evacuation of the capital. NO
effort Is being spared by them to bring
| this about. Their idea is that, should
the foreign ministers in Pekin be al
lowed free communication with their
governments, the full extent of the COM
/ picity of the Chinese government in the
anti-foreign outrages would be reveal
ed and would lead the allies to decide
to remain until retribution has been eX-
acted.
All kilograms have to be conveyed by
courier from Ts-Nan-Fu ii Pekin, and
probably all cipher dispatches have been
stopped.
