1t was supposed that Japan stood
against any division of the empire. but
the landing OF Japanese troops at
Annoy canot be accounted for on the
ground that Japanese temple has
ceen burned. So that 1t is the accept
ed view that Japan is at least max
ing ready to be in Il position to share
any division of territory which must
come. The course OF Russia in taking
New Snwang cannot be viewed in the
same light as the landing of troops at
annoy or Shanghai, as this was for
tne sole purpose of protecting Rus
sla line, and any Interior territorial
purposes have been discIaimed by Rus
sla. SO far as Great Britain's purposes
are concerned. In the absence of any
express declaration, the landing OF
troops at Shanghai is strong evidence
that Great Britain wishes to control
the Yang Use valley. On the part OF
Germany the doubt as to her future
course is due mainly to the Count Wal
dersee's speech since the taking of
Pekin. These have indicated that he
was going on an extensive campaign
ana that the fall of the Chinese cap
itai was only the initial step in COM

this means is not clear. but it has at

(By Telegraph to Virginian- PILOT
Chicago, Aug 29.-By order of the
National Committee of the Peoples
Party (middle-o the road, Chairman
10. A, Parker and Secretary James
l., Mcbride to-day issued an address
to the Populist voters of the United
States. The address says that from it's
inception these Populists who have
opposed fusion have commended that
the fusion movement was designed to
destroy the Peoples Party organiza-
ton and to deliver the honest Popu-
lists OF this country TO the organized
Democracy. 1t declares that to-day
there are many sO-called fusion lead
ers posing as Populists who are act
ing simply as decoys to draw true Pop
ulists into the Democratic organiza-
ton with the knowledge and cooper
alton of the Democratic managers.
The so-called fusion party. 1t con-
tinues, to-day stands without a nomi-
nee who ever pretended to be a Popu-
list; practically without an organiza-
ton and without following among
the people save in four or five close
States.
We have declared that the indepen-
dent Peoples Party shall continue to
live free from disreputable alliance
with the party of Jones and Croker on
the one hand and the party of Hanna
and Quay on the other.
It calls on all true Populists to repu-
date the attempt OF the fusionists to
deliver them over to organized Democ-
racy in return for few offices and
calls on them to roll up vote for
Barker and Donnelly which will place
the party on the highway to victory
in the future.
