conclusion of which there was q gen
eral expression Of qualification II the
progress made toward reaching a set
tlcment. II was stated that most OF
the minor points had been disposed Of
ana that an agreement had been reach
ed upon several essential questions
The meeting disclosed fewer differences
over important points than was ex-
pected. which IS largely due to the fact
that the ministers have received def
mite Instructions from their home GOV
crnuents.

he was encouraged to believe that
propositions would be ready to be sub
mitted to the Chinese plenipotontiaries
at an earlier date than he had hereto

General Kyd Douglas has FASTENED
to make a statement that the poem
on Barbara Frietchic was all mis-
take and that Barbara did not wave
the Aag as stated in the verses penned
by Whittier. The explanation of Cen
eral Douglas has doubtless been pre-
pared with care and bears the stamp
OF sincerity, but IT is evident that the
general overrates the anxiety of the
public upon the subject. Most of our
readers, and especially those who in
days Of youth have rccited the poem
at school exhibitions, would prefer to
have remained in ignorance rather
than at this late day be confronted
with proof that the heroine of the
beautiful poem was a myth.

Wv JE ARE FRANK to say
AN that we do not believe
as heartily as some in
the direct election Of
United States senators by the people
The intent Of the men who drafted our
constitution, as has been well said
was "to furnish restraint and check
upon the tyranny and mutability of
opinion of popular majorities, as rep
resented more closely in the house Of
representatives" and they sought, and
upon the whole with success, to effect
this purpose by vesting the election Of
senators in the state legislatures, tri-
bunals supposed to be in some degree
removed from the passion and excite
ment of public Clamor. The sentiment
for a change from this method to the
direct election method is a superficial
and transitory one, intensified by q
few eXasperating current incidents in
the choice of senators by legislative
assemblies which illustrate exceptions
to a well-working general rule 1t is
another case of a system, which is en-
tirely adequate i'm itself, being blamed
for the faults of human nature; and If
direct elections were to occur we dare
say that it would not be long before
men addicted to professional criticism
and clamor would find sufficient ills in
the popular vote system to justly a
crusade for some new experiment.
Nevertheless, in view of the present
dimensions of public feeling in favor
of the popular election of senator's,
and since particular faction in this
state has pretended TO desire the taxi
ing of the Pennsylvania senatorial is
sue directly before the people, the
plank on this subject introduced YES
terday in the Harrisburg platform
will be received with favor. BY all
means let the people have every pos
sible opportunity to impress their will
upon the factions. The latter certainly
need to be in closer touch with honest
public opinion.
Yesterdays nominations, especially
those of Senator Hardenbcrgh and
Galusha \. Grow, are not only locally
gratifying, but will also command the
party's most cordial support Mr..
Foerderer, the Philadelphia manufact-
urer named for congressman large,
has not yet made the acquaintance of
the people of the state. but his record
is good and his Endorsements deserve
respect. The conventions work as a
whole will be accepted as satisfactory
as far as 1t went, and that it did not
go farther was due to causes not
wholly under the conventions control.
AS for the conventions Endorsement

bercd that he is still the exponent of

~NAGfERATED reports to the
a effect that Japanese coolies
Il are swarming to this country
have aroused much alarm in
certain quarters, and have also start
ed a report that the japanese govern
ment is about To take steps to protect
the, United states from the threatened
invasion of cheap labor. The motive
ascribed for this decision on part Of
the japanese government gives cred
once to the report, which comes by way
of Washington. The decision 1t is
said, has nothing to do with solicitude
for our comfort or well-being, fact
which entities the report to more
credence than it would otherwise re-
ceivc. The coolies have come to us, it
seems, under what the home govern
ment believes is a delusion that this is
a land overlooking with milk and
honey of large opportunities, a delu-
sion that has been fostered by rival
emigration societies eager to make
records. What the Japanese govern
ment has i'm mind, therefore, is to res
trict emigration, not in our behalf but
to protect its own subjects from the
imposltions of that form of urgent
philanthropy which seeks its objects
by getting rid of the so-called bene-
ficiaries of it's labors. There is an in
timation i'm the despatch, however,
that japanese national pride has some
thing to do with this paternal anxiety,
as the announcement Of what is in
tended is accompanied by an express
sion of disgust at the thought that
japanese coolies should run any risk
of being treated by us on the same
basis as the coolies of China. The
japanese immigrant, the government
would have us know, is as good as any
other, barring those of It's nearest
nelshbor.

TRADE of criticism I'm reference to the

regarded as a reproach to the admins

SOUTHERN COTTON MEN
Want an "open Door" Policy In the Far
 East.

Washington, November 16,-Secretary Hay has received a petition from nearly all the leading cotton manufacturers of the south that he take such action as may be within his power to prevent the interfer- ence by any European power which might close the foreign markets to the important cotton manufacturers of the United States and injure other American interests. The petition declares the "open door policy is necessary to secure the retention of the important trade in cotton drills and shirt ing which are manufactured in the south ern States It declares that he withdrawal of this trade in Manchuria would seriously affect not only the. manufacturers of cot ton goods but southern cotton growers and employees and laborers in the cotton mills. The petitioners represent fully sl5,00o, 900 in capital, and declare they have lost half their trade since the Boxer uprising, and are now running on halt time.

Makes Another Statement.

Elmira, N. r., November 16.-Katherine Loonie, convicted of forging deeds to cer- tain property, has made another retraction of the statement put out yesterday, in which she asserted that Mayor Flood ini- tated and directed the forgeries. Miss Loonie now alleges that Mayor Floods att torney induced her to sign the statement by representing that If she did not do so Flood would be driven to suicide and that morally she would be his murderer. The prisoner, in her latest statement, says she is willing to go before the Grand jury and give testimony as to the guilt of Mayor Flood
