Meeting.

MIDDLEBOURNE,W w. Va, Septem-
Der 6.-One thousand, nine hundred and
eighty-seven votes were cast in the Re-
publican primary yesterday. being
about 500 votes less than was cast for
Mckinley in SO. The result was big
surprise to several of the leaders, and
many have not yet figured out how it
happened. The returns show that in
the general skirmish the SiStersville
candidates are not in the front, while
Centreville succeeds in capturing three
of the best Offices. the sheriff. assessor
and surveyor. The Republicans opened
their campaign in this county to-day by
a meeting at the court house. The OBJ
Ject OF this meeting was to pour oil
on the troubled waters, heal the
wounds of the recent primary and to
pump enthusiasm into the G. o. p. The
latter task was assigned to Perry the
Peach" while the former and more
delicate Jobs were given to Col. Freer.

vertised, the audience did not exceed

BLOOMSBURY, Pa, September 6.-No-
tice was given this morning by the Read
ing Iron Company. of Danville, that a
general reduction in wages would be made
after September 1.-THE pudding base
will be made 50 a ton instead Of 81, the
price which now prevails. Proportionate
reductions in the wages Of the other de-
partments will be made. This action IS
due to the fact that the market price ~
iron is below the cost Of production. 1t

WASHINGTON, September 6.-The
latest expression as to the attitude Of
the powers on the evacuation of Pekin
comes from the United States ambas-
sador at Paris, Gen. Horace Porter,
who has advised the authorities here
that the attitude of the French govern
ment is favorable to the position tax
en- by Russia.
Almost simultaneously with this dis
patch from Gen. Porter came another
from the American charge d'affair at
Berlin, giving the attitude o. Germany
on Russia's proposal. Germany re-
CARDS the conditions at Pekin such as
to require the continued presence of
German forces. Neither Porter nor
jackson gives the text Of the answers,
but only the substance.
These highly important communica-
tons bring the Chinese negotiations to
a very advanced stage, though they are
not yet concluded, as all of the answers
are not yet in. They, however, clearly
indicate the alignment of the powers.
1t is generally accepted that Germany
attitude in favor of remaining at Pekin
will be concurred in by Italy and Aus
tria, as they act with Germany on po-
litical questions of general nature.
AS to Great Britain, there is absolute
lack of information though little doubt
is entertained that Great Britain Will
favor remaining at Pekin. The posi-
ton of Japan is unknown, although
it is believed Japan will deem 1t ex-
pedient to remain at Pekin. 1t would
seem that France is the only govern
ment concurning with Russia. 1t was
stated authoritatively to-day, that Rus
STA has not ordered the departure OF
her minister or troops from Pekin.
The communications from Berlin and
Paris caused numerous conferences pc
tween the President, Secretary Root
and Acting Secretary of State Hill. An
other note was being prepared by the
United States, but the authorities gave
no inkling of its nature.
France Is again considering the
status of Lii Hung Chang. There is a
strong desire in certain quarters not to
include him on the Chinese commits
sion.
The military situation at Pekin re-
mains unchanged apparently. Gen.
Chaffee understands that American
troops are to winter in China, and he
and Gen. Barry speak of the arrange
ments of the soldiers.
The parade through the imperial pal
ace was small, in conformity with an
ARRANGEMENT that the force should be
limited to reduce the chance of looting.
1t is supposed this demonstration was
made to impress the Chinese people,
and to offset the stories in the south
that the allies had been completely
overthrown.
The Boxers are still cutting the wires
between Tien Tsin and Pekin, and the
messages received to-day show no i'm
provement in the rate of transmission
Mr.. Goodnow cables from Shanghai
that all marines were withdrawn from
Annoy last Friday.
