Thinks the Task of Allied Powers In
China Is Difficult.


Chicago. Aug. 15.-Captain r. II. Nc
Gala of the cruiser Newark, who was in
command of the American marines in
Admiral Seymour's unsuccessful eXpedi-
ton for the relief of Peking, believes that
the Chinese situation is more serious and
fraught with more dangers to the United
States and the allies than any one imag.
ined before the capture of the Taku forts
Writing to Mrs. Edward Roby of this
city from Yokohama, whittier he had
been invalided by the three wounds
which he received during the i'll starred
Seymour advance on July 26, Captain
McCalla says
"Certainly no foreigner in our columns
of 1000 officers and men believe that the
Chinese would do so well, and no one eN.
cept the agents who have been selling
arms and munitions of war to China
since the close of the japanese war had
any conception Of the vast amount OF
money which the Peking government had
expended in preparations for another
war And while the Chinese would not
or could not, stand against us, in the
open they inflicted severe punishment
on us while we were driving them ont OF
the villages and from behind mud walls.
Captain McCnlla in conclusion says 50
far as he can judge the internationa
problem now to be solved in China i,
most interesting ANA very difficult. lIt
also says that the United States may bC
called upon on account of its large trade
interests in China, TO adopt ana declare
an International policy which can only bC

fees steady advance, which for a week
past has been secuted as foolhardy
piece of adventure by some of the Euro
pean war Offices.
OF quite as much interest as the record
Of the army's advance is the speculation
now current about the state department
as to the status of diplomatic negotia
tions. The state department has thrown
around these proceedings a sudden and
unaccuStOmcd veil of secrecy that is
taken TO presage important developments
One thing is well nigh certain, namely
that the Conger message of yesterday
which was not made public, is one of a
series of identical notes addressed by the
beleaguered mGlisters to their govern
ments.
Minister WI, who besides being the
Chinese minister here, is also the ac.
credited representative Of China to Spain,
received along with the Conger message
Of yesterday cipher message from the
Spanish minister in peking, which Mr..
Wu forwarded to Madrid. It was not
made public there Sir Claude Macdon
AIDS dispatch to the British foreign office
evidently Of the same vintage as the tive
aihci dispatches referred to, also was
withheld from publication. TINS Is taken
as fair indication That negotiations of
Importance are on foot, but their nature
is entirely speculative.
Tho state department states that not
only would the text of the Coneer dis.
patch be Kept secret, but no questions
would be answered in connection with
its contents. 1t was pointed out by the
department that with the international
forces practically at the gates of Pc
king any statement from Minister Con
ger might involve him and all Of the other
ministers in very serious consequences
1t was said, however, that the statement
from London this morning, credited to
a member of parliament. that ncgotia-
tions were on foot in Washington be-
tween the various powers, looking to a
future form of government for China,
was without foundation. The state de-
partment announced that no note on this
subject had been exchanged between the
powers.

The Brownson'a fell down yesterday

was sick and unable to be in the points.
Willis of Newark who was put in the
box was easy for the Chester boys who
touched him Up for singles, two bag
gers and one three bagger.
Brownson was also weakened by the
absence Of Maxwell in left field and Nc
Mahon at short stop. Conner PLAYED a
miserable game making three errors in
the first inning which gave Chester four
runs. The features OF the game were a
one handed catch by Nobett after hard
run and the all around good playing of

play is a comedy drama, the coabora-

tors of many popular successes. The or
iginality of the theme and the prolific
vein OF comedy it contains is its CHIEF

Full Text of the Proposition Made by the Union Repub
lcan State Committee January 10, to the Bolter
Republican State Organization
ON THIS PROPOSITION THE UNION REPUBLICANS STOOD and STILL STAND

ton shall have the first choice
Of all the nominations to be
made, the minority the first
choice of all the remainder; and
thus in all alternate manner
until all the nominations are
completed:
That the question Of the cleo
tion Of two Senators to the SEN
ate Of the United States shall be
disposed of by the adoption of
one or the other Of the two fol-
lowing propositions;
First: That each faction shall
have undisputed choice to the
election Of d Senator.
Or, second: That the voters of
each Senatorial and Representa-
tive District shall, by a majority
rule, nominate their respective
Legislative candidates; that loyal
support shall be given the same
by all Republicans without re-
gard to past factional divisions,
and that the whole question of
the election of Senators to the
Senate Of the United States shall
be left to the Legislature itself
when assembled without prior
reciprocal obligations or pledges
of any kind upon the members
thereof as to their disposition Of
the matter:
That, if the foregoing propo-
sitions should seem to be unfair,
in that it is denied that the ma
jority Of the Republicans of this
State are affiliated with the
Union Republican party, and
that the foregoing propositions
are therefore a covert attempt to
gain a political advantage that
could not be had by an appeal to
the people, l am authorized and
directed to make a further propo-
sition:
That all the foregoing propo-
sitions be laid aside, that a com
mon primary for delegates to a
State Convention with equality
ofrepresentation in the several
Representative Districts under
the Constitution be held by the
Republican voters of this State
and that ticket be nominated
by said convention solely by the
will Of the majority, and if adj
verse to the Union Republican
party to pledge loyal support o
all Union Republicans to the
election Of an entire ticket thus
nominated.
