the life of the twins in large city, the
obstacles they met and overcame, tnelr
sympathy for and loyalty to eacn otn-
er. IT Is a good book to place in the
hands Of boys or girls in their teens
who diser educational advantages which
their parents have not the means 10

pie can help themselves If they VIII.

HaS Sald Nothing or Steppage of
Negotiations.
Washington, D. C.-(Special. 1.-THE
state department so far has heard moth
ing from Minister Conger respecting the
'impasse" reported to have been reach
ed by the foreign ministers at Pekin.
In fact. save brief expression respect
Ign the insufficiency Of the punish
ments proposed by the Chinese govern
ment to be inflicted upon the respon-
sible leaders of the Boxer movement,
Mr.. Conger has not communicated with
the department for more than a week
Without taking issue with Mr.. Con-
ger respecting this matter of punish
ment, the state department has ear
nestly advised him not to insist on i'm
possible conditions in the negotiations.
An interesting problem is suggested
by the possibility, which now Is almost
a probability, that the ministers repre-
senting the powers at Pekin cannot
reach an agreement. If Russia, France
and the United States should refuse to
accept the German idea, as seconded
by the British representative. much
would depend upon Japan, and even
some OF the lesser powers represented at
Pekin by ministers might have great
power in swaying the proceedings OF
the council.
The impression seems to be that If a
majority of the ministers, or perhaps
even one of the representatives Of
great power, withho!ds assent to the
agreement then the whole undertaking
falls, and there must be either fresh
negotiations directly between the home
governments in the effort to agree upon
new bases of action, or the powers must
proceed to deal with the Chinese situa-
ton singly or in groups, the latter con
4ingency having been provided for III
the German-British agreement.

TALLAHASSEE WILL WIN.

Tallahassee will win in the contest
for the State Capital. This is fore
gone conclusion, the question now
being only as to how big majority
she will get. During the last few
days the Tallahassee Capital League
has been sending out the following
statement:
ave have definite information
from reliable and well-informed peo-
pie in all parts of the State, and we
assert with confidence that Tallahas-
see will poll more votes than all the
other candidates combined"
This statement is not made for
buncombe nor is it an exageration of
the facts. Tallahassee gcM oci,o, and
the indications are that her vote will
be decidedly larger than that of all
other candidates combined. Several
things during the past flew weeks
have helped to bring about this re-
suit. Most conspicuous among them
has been, JacksOnviIle's abuse of
everybody and everything opposed to
them, and the fragrant ;nisrepresen-
tatiOnS sent out by her advocates.
For instance, last Mondey night in
Fenandina Judge Nolan stated that
<'an architect had recently examined
the Capitol building at Tallahassee,
and stated as his opinion that the
foundations had sunk to such an ex.
tent that the building could not be
satisfactorily repaired"
Of course Judge Nolan knew that
statement was an absolute libel from
beginning to end-including every
phrase, sentence, word and letter
when he made it, but one thing he die
not know: He did not know that sc
per cent. of his listeners knew it was
untrue, and that such an utterance
would destroy everything else he
said. So it has been with Jackson.

The people of Florida object to

of one locality, and they object t.

Irrational, State and county, will
be allowed to vote in the primary
contest in which is involved the loca-
ton of the Capital, the question OF a
Constitutional Convention, etc.
1t seems now, however, from a
communication from A. 0. Wright,
reproduced in this issue from the
Metropolis, and from information
which we have received from
other sections of the State, that the
Chairman, finding perhaps this would
initiate against Jacksonville, has
rescinded the decision. He now
says that all good white Democrats
will be allowed to vote. In one
county where there is an independ-
ent ticket out he is reported as d.
recting that all such votes be counted
and sent to him with the returns.
Of course it is as fair for the goose
as the gander if these instructions
have been sent everywhere, but it
would be prominently unfair for
one rule to prevail in one section and
the other in another, hence this no.
