POWERS ARE LINED UP.

ON GERMAN PROPOSAL.
Punishment of the Boxers Prior to
the Initiation of Negotiations
Declared Inexpedient.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 29.-Thc de-
partment Of state is informed by Consul
General Goodnow at Shanghai that
Sheng, Chinese director of railways and
telegraphs, has handed him decree of the
Emperor and Empress, dated at Taig-
nan, September 25, blaming their minis
ters for encouraging the Boxers. The
edict orders the degradation of four
princes and deprives Prince Tuan Of his
salary and official servants. He is to be
brought for trial before the imperial clan
court.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 29.-The
alignment of the powers on the German
proposition to make the punishment Of
the Chinese ringleaders a condition prece-
dent to negotiations may now be stated
as follows:
Great Britain. Russia and France
stand with the United States regarding
this proposition as inexpedient.
Japan occupies a middle attitude; she
is willing to follow the German lead If
all the other powers are agreea bic, but
only for the sake of preserving harmony
among the powers, and not from belief
i'll the wisdom of the German proposition.
shoulder with Germany, making the
Dreibund solid front. The tirst-named
20 powers do net attempt to argue the
German proposition and their answers
make it apparent that they have accept
cd it without much consideration.
Nothing is known here officially of the
alternative proposition which is reported
to be preparing in Europe. If it contains
the same feature as to prior punishment
rs the original proposition it is not likely
to receive approval here.
The fact that Secretary Hay is eX-
pected to return to Washington next
week will not change i'll any way the
policy of the state department. The sec
rotary has been in the closest touch with
al that has been done respecting China
3n1 the stories printed in Germany to
III effect that he is coming back to re-
verse those policies is pronounced at the
state department to be absurd. The Off
cals are impressed and have been from
the beginning with the conviction that
any attempt made to punish Prince Iuan
before negotiations are undertaken will
Il peaceable and satisfactory settle
ment. Indeed, it is believed that
the attempt of Germany to apprehend
such Chinese officials at this stage has
actually been the cause of Prince Tuan's
promotion, rather than anything con
tanned in the American refusal of the
German proposition. 1t is pointed out
that an inevitable result of such an eff
fort would be to cause the Chinese Off
ciais against whom it was directed to
strive by every means in their power
u secure the support of the throne, just
as Tuan has in this case.
Mr.. CUnger was heard from in q brief
cablegram today. This was not pub
liShed. but it is understood to indicate
no important developments.
Obtain Coal Stores.
Paris. Sept ga dispatch received
here from Taku says a French battalion
from Pekin has occupied Lou Kou Chiao
and Chan Sin Tien, thus obtaining coal
stores.

DROVE A GOOD BARGAIN.
American Capitalists Secure a
Franchise for Electric Railway
System in London.

Chicago, H., Sept. 29.-American cap
ital will build a great underground cleo
trio railway system in London. Charles
L. Yerkes is backed in his great enter
prise by Marshall Field, H. Il. Letter.
John J. Mitchell and Norman B. Ream
of Chicago, and by the Widener-Elkins-
Ryan syndicate of Philadelphia.
The amount of money to be invested in
the new London system is $12 900, 600,
and the capitalists who will furnish this
amount are the foregoing, largely the
same men who combined their forces a
year or two ago for the rehabilitation Of
the Baltimore Il Ohio railroad.
Drove a Good Bargain.
The S12,000,O00 which is to be invested
will practically all be available for con-
struction purposes. According to advices
received by local interests, Mr.. Yerkes
drove a clever bargain and paid not over
SloO,OOO net for the charter. The full
name Of the corporation which thus has
fallen into Chicago hands is the Charing
Cross, Euston u Hampstead under
ground railroad. The whole work of
modern American plan. Materials neces-
sary for the work will be furnished in
this country, and it is understood that as
soon as Mr.. Yerkes arrives a fortnight
hence he will let the contracts.
The Documents Signed.
London, Sept. 29-Charles T. Yerkes
position as a street car magnate in Lon
don became assured when the documents
We're signed giving him possession, as
head Of the American syndicate, of the
parliamentary rights and charters for
the construction Of an underground cleo
trio railway from Charing Cross to
Hampstead. 1t cost Mr.. Yerkes
less than 100000 to secure the
much desired papers. For this
amount he received, aside from the privi-
leges authorized by the British Parlia-
ment, 451 shares of stock held by the old
company, the face value being $50 each,
but on which only $40 each has been paid
up. and 100000 worth Of English con-
sois, deposited by the original company
with the board of trade as a guarantee
that the project for the new railway
would be carried out according to the
plans specified in the government fran
chise
That Mr.. Yerkes drove an excellent
bargain is evident when it is stated that
the purchase cost him barely $150,OO0.
and that, too after the old company had
paid the cost Of attorneys fees, survey
ing and other preliminary expenses at
tached to promoting the city railway.

prise to the Roman Catholics of Indiana

Herman j. Allerding of ST. Joseph S

become one Of the most popular figures
in clerical life in Indianapolis
The selection comes to him wholly I'M
expected. 1t was one of Bishop Cha
tard's little surprises, and shows the in

appointment Of Father Allerding to the
archbishopric of Fort Wayne will re-
move from this city priest who has
wonderfully endeared himself to his flock
and made an impression for good upon

One Wheat Grains Weld

Did you ever stop to think of the re-
sponsibilities of grain of wheat? We
are so used to seeing the field sown with
wheat and the crop come up and ripen
that we quite forget how each little
grain does a great work through the
summer days in multiplying and adding
to the farmers harvest. A farmer neal.
Phoenix, Ariz., planted ore grain Of
white Australian wheat, and at harvest
time from it had sprung 1860 grains Of
large, fat wheat. He planted ten
acres of this wheat and harvested TT
sacks, each weighing 1873 pounds. The
single grain spoken OF produced thirty
SIN Stalks; SO. you see, even grain of
wheat helps wonderfully Cincinnati

settlement of the strike. He reiterated
his previous emphatic declaration that
the strike is not yet settled and expressed
confidence that no offer of 10 per cent.
advance in wages will cause a stampede
among the strikers. He said they, de-
manded much more than that, and he
does not think that they will accept any
thing less than their demands.
