action will be taken soon.
A London, September 10, dispatch

coincident with the arrival of Count

CHINA ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
Prince Ching Says He and Ii Hung Chang
Have Power to Negotiate.

Prince Ching Says He and ii Hung Chang
Have Power to Negotiate.
The desire Of China to actually begin
n negotiations for peace was evil
denced in a dispatch from Prince
Ching, delivered by Minister WI to the
state department. The dispatch was
dated at Pekin, September 8, and in IL
Prince Ching stated he was clothed
with full authority along with Ii Hung
Chang to negotiate for peace. He ex-
pressed a desire to proceed in the mat
ter and ask Minister WI to submit a
request to the secretary of state to
send instructions to Minister Conger
to begin negotiations at once.
1t is probable that no immediate re-
Spouse to the request for instructions
TO Minister Conger can be given, as
Prince Ching's request will have to be
laid before the president and sufficient
time given to consider the question of
his credentials, as well as the desira-
bility of proceeding at once. Moreover
it is likely that Minister Conger's judg-
ment as to when the actual negotia-
lions should open will govern to a con-
siderable extent. Whether Prince
Ching's request has been made to other
powers as well as the United States is
not known here, but in view of the de-
sire to have Mr.. Conger proceed az
once 1t is probable that the Chinese
officials are ready to negotiate with
the powers Individually or with them
as a whole through the medium of a
commission.
Among those being mentioned unof-
hclally rs being available in case a
commission is determined upon to car
ry forward the negotiations are Presi-
dent Schurman of Cornell university,
John Barrett, late Minister to Siam,
and DR.. Hill, the present first assistant
secretary of state.
General Chaffee's telegram, speaking
OF the Russian railroad construction,
Is regarded as highly important, in
view OF the disclosure of the purpose of
the Russian government to reconstruct
the railroad from Taku to Tien Tsin
and thence to Pekin showing, il is be-
lieved, the expectation of the Russian
government that at least some Russian
force will be maintained at Pekin
through the winter.
Through Admiral Remey the state
department has been advised Of the ar
rival OF Special Commissioner Rockhill
at Taku from Shanghai.

So far as dining is concerned In Par
is, the prices have not been put up as
much as people expected; indeed, at
the best restaurants It is doubtful IL
they have risen at all and Paris today
is an infinitely cheaper place to dine
we'll In than London is. But a great
sameness has come over the menu at
all the restaurants. which Is owing,
probably. to the multitude OF strang-
ers who are In Paris and who expect
certain dishes at a French restaurant,

The text OF the note, as the north Ger

The elections for delegates to the
constitutional convention have resulted
in favor of the black party throughout
the entire province of Santiago de Cuba,
and the whites now openly declare
themselves to be annexationists. Ten
thousand colored men, who had worked

wearing badges containing a skull and

republican party, paraded through the
principal streets of the city at night,
carrying tallow candles and torches.
A mock funeral of the republican par

PIT per cent, as compared with 1873
between 1880 and 1890 and 1873 per
cent between 1870 and 1880. The popu-

New Hampshire, though agriculture
has declined and tenantless farms are
often seen, nevertheless has made a
small gain. From 1850 to 1870 it was
at a standstill, but from 1870 to 1880
it increased per cent; from 1880 to
1890, 5S per cent; from 1890 to 1900,
