the dispatch of an identical note, rather
of practically identical instructions, to the
United States diplomatic representatives in
Europe and in Japan for their guidance in
replying to inquiries that were flowing In
upon them daily as to the purposes of the
United States government.
The State Department itself has also re-
ceived many such inquiries directly in
Washington from representatives of the
powers involved in the Chinese trouble. 1t
is believed that these were generally in
formal, but as they, nevertheless, called
for statements of policy, it was regarded as
expedient that the reply should not be di-
vergent, and should guard against dscrep-
ancy.
BY direction of the President, formal
instruction was drawn up. That this did
not exactly define the intention of the
United States TO withdraw from China at a
specified date was made evident by the
continuance of inquiries from the legations
and embassies here for information on this
point, There is very manifest desire on
the part of European governments to get
some expression from the United States
government as to its purpose before COM
mitting themselves.
Replies NOn-COmmittal.
1t is believed that our answers have been
framed with the special purpose of avoid
ing committal OF the government as to
its policy beyond the points specifically
laid down in the Presidents response to
Emperor Kwang Tsu's first appeal. and in
the answer to LII Hung Chang's appeal for
mediation
However this may be, the State Depart
ment does not regard it as expedient at
this moment to make public the latest
phases of the negotiations, so it is impos-
sible to know from this side whether or
not they have touched upon propositions
to divide up China into spheres for mill
tary occupation, to provide for tempo
rary form of government at Pekin, or to
endeavor to re-establish relations with the
existing dynasty in China, though it may
be fairly assumed that something has been
said upon these various points.

WITHOUT WATER IN THE DESERT.
Terrible Experience Of Three Bicycle
Tourists in Texas.

Ell PASO, Tex, August pa runner has
arrived here from the Cole ranch, sixty
miles north of Ell Paso bringing news that
three men had been found almost perished
of thirst on the desert beyond there. He
said that one of the men was Prof. Fl. c.
Cook who recently came to this city from
the east. The men left Alamo Gordo, n. NJ,
on bicycles Thursday, bound for FL Paso.
They took the overland road through the
Tularosa valley. On that route there is
desert of sand seventy miles wide.
When the three men had gone about
thirty miles their bicycles broke down and
they had to walk. One of the men reached
Cole ranch, but had to be treated for several
hours before he could speak. He then told
of his companions. Two men, with jugs of
water tied on their saddles, went back to
search for the missing men. One was
found fifteen miles away, exhausted and
unconscious in the sand. and was brought
to the ranch. The other, Prof. Cook was
found twenty miles further away in
spasms. and would probably have died in an
hour had he not received water All the
men are now in a critical condition at the
Cole ranch.

MIR. ENGLISH'S POSITION.
Effect Of the Announcement That He
Will support Mckinley.

The announcement by w. Z. English of
Indianapolis, Ind. that he will support
Mckinley and Roosevelt this fall is regard
ed as peculiarly significant 1t is expected
to have more influence upon the result in
Indiana than any other individual act in
the campaign. 1t is said that English's ac-
tion is likely to have much the effect in
Indiana that such a course by German
would have in Maryland. Young English
is said to have acquired much of the in
fiuence in the business community that
was formerly enjoyed by his father, and
he has political strength peculiarly his
own, in addition to that enjoyed by him, as
by his father, of being, perhaps, the rich
est democrat in the state. Though he has
all along been gold man, he has, like
German. stood by his party for the sake of
regularity.

FITZ is READY TO FIGHT,
But Wants to Meet Jefries Before
September 4.

NEW YORK, August 27.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons, who is to meet VIM. A. Brady, Jim
Jeffries' manager, this afternoon to arrange
for a contest for the heavyweight cham
pionship, said this morning that he would
agree to meet Jeffries in Madison Square
Garden on August 81, on any basis agree
able to Jeffries. He would fight, he said
winner take all the purse, 65 per cent of
the purse, or he would be satisfied with an
equal division: but he wanted a fight be-
fore September 1 or not at all. Fitz said
he wishes to retire from the ring and open
a training school in Chicago.
Out of consideration for his children, he
said, he does not care to remain in the ring
or open a saloon.

so strong was he with the masses of the
democrats that though he was a declared

of ninety men was sent to this city to ar
rest the deserters and number of men
were arrested and taken back to camp, but
Captain Marchant was not among them, as
he could not be found.
Captain Marchant claimed that his action
was based on the alleged fact that his men
were being drilled too much in the hot sun,
after having travelled all night, but the
regimental officers say il was due to the
fact that another officer was put in COM
mand of the company when Captain Mar
chan. failed to appear in time for drill.
