The indignant looking passenger was about
TO speak, but the conductor headed him off
by excaiming in a loud tone of irritation:
-"This is the slowest train l was ever. on.
What's the use of having a schedule if we
don't pay any attention to it? The drinking
kitchen range ten minutes. The car doesn't
look as if it had been swept for a month, and
it is full of idiots who insist on opening the
w~indowswhen we go through tunnels, so that
the cinders can blow in"
The passenger caught his breath and then
exclaimed: Il was Just about to say that
this whole affair is an outrage"
II know it. But you're lucky. You can
travel a few miles and then get off and be
happy. But I've got to stay on this train
forhours every day of my life ."-Washingtor

ne CHINESE SITUATION.
r,s limited States Government is
Patiently Awaiting Further
Developments.
UNOFFICIAL EXCHANGES IN PROGRESS.
chinese Government, Acting
uuyb Ii Hung Chang, Making
Efforts to Secure Fa-
xorsbIe Consideration for Its Re-
u,t Peace Overtures.

vos hington, Sept. 5.-Our govern
,ept has not yet been informed that
orv further responses have beenmade
IT,, tbe mowers to the Russian note
Connecting the withdrawal OF troops
from Pekin. Therefore, the negotia-
,;ons ON this point can not be said to
have been marked by any formal adj
yoncement, though it is known that
unofficial exchanges are in progress,
which doubtless are preparing the
way for a formal agreement between
the mowers in the near future.
chinese Efforts for Peace.
Acting through Ii Hung Chang, the
Chinese imperial government is MAX
inc efforts to secure ia
yorable consideration for its peace
overtures. While our government has
not vet received a copy of the i'm
nerial edict referred to in the Shang-
hal dispatches, naming Earl Ii n
several other Chinese notable as Pile
nipotentiaries to negotiate for a set
Element with the powers,t the state de-
partment is advised, through its
agents, of the existence of such an
edict. This, it is expected, will be
communicated to the department
when Mr.. WI, the Chinese minister,
returns to Washington.
Neither Has Special Powers.
IT is ascertained that neither Mr..
Rockhill, Mr.. Conger nor Gen. Chaffee
have been clothed with any special
powers to meet these II any other
Chinese ENJOYS. 1t is again stated
that Mr.. Rockhill is in China simply
to observe and report upon conditions
he has no ministerial powers up to
the present. Gen. Chaffee's functions
are purely military, so it is said, and
while, of course, he would be fully en-
powered to grant a truce, he in not
for a final settlement between the
United States and China.
Minister Conger's Authority.
Minister Conger has only his gen.
eral powers as a minister resident.
Broadly construed, these would serve
to warrant him in receiving and
transmitting any propositions from
the (hlneSe authorities, out ne cOulu
scarcely go further than this. The
conclusion is that no United States
official in China, civil or military, can
at present conduct negotiations for q
final settlement with the Chinese gov
eminent, and special powers must be
conveyed by the state department,
probably to one of the three persons
named when it to the final
reckoning.
No Disposition to Complain.
There is no disposition here to com
plain of dilatoriness on the part oil
the powers in disposing of the Rus
sian suggestion respecting withdraw
nl. 1t is felt that any delay which
ensue in the execution of the Rus
sian threat to withdraw actually
makes for peace, for each days de-
velopments point to the restoration to
authority in Pekin of some ghost Of
a government which may become
tangible enough to deal with the pow
ers.
There is no word to-day from Mr.
CongeT OF from Gen. Chaffee.

He Will Have 115 Votes Until a Nom.

A meeting of the Marion county delegates
was held in the Criminal Court room YES
terday morning. The result showed that
lis votes from the county will be cast for
Griffiths as long as his name is before the
convention and the remaining vote will be
cast for Durbin.
Harry w. Bennett was chosen chairman
and Charles N. Elliott secretary of the
meeting Immediately after the selection
of officers some one suggested that a reso-
luton TO cast the entire 16 votes for John
L. Grifiths be adopted. To the surprise of
the greater part Of the delegates present
Robert Mccoy declared that he had come
as a delegate from Lawrence township
virtually pledged To vote for another man.
A motion was then made by II. s. New
that the roll be called by wards so that
each ward might announce how it intended
call was watched with great interest.
Every ward and every township pledged
itself TO stand by Grifiths until a
nomination was made. until Lawrence
township was reached. when Mr.. Mccoy
arose and said that he would vote for
Grif1ths after the candidate for whom he
was instructed was out of the way. The
announcement was received with great app
plause and many OF the delegates present
warmly shook McCoy's hand. The meet
ing then adjourned.
