London Sept. 1.--Pending the dis
covery OF the diplomatists as to how
to best wash their hands of the
Chinese embarrassment, public inter
est is momentarily diverted to the na-
tons private affairs; and the weari-
some war in South Africa. the out
break of the bubonic plague in Glas
COW. the widespread disturbances and
disaffection in railway circles, and the
dissolution of Parliament are all re-
ceiving much attention. 1t is consid-
cred evident from the speech OF the
Righ Hon. William st. John Frederick.
under Secretary OF State for Foreign
Affairs, made on Wednesday, that the
Government considers the end of the
war close enough to the horizon to 1us-
tify looking beyond it. and preparing
for general election. Therefore. an
authoritative pronouncement on the
subject of the dissolution of Parlia-
ment Is expected at an early date.
Whether Mr.. Broderck's anticipation
that Lord Roberts present movement
Will have decisive bearing upon the
length of the war is justified or not.
remains for the present a matter of
conjecture; but there is no mistaking
the intention OF the Government to
utilize any appreciable military sue
cess and ride into office again on the

POWERS EXPECTED TO CONCUR.
AS the negotiations progress the
view is strengthened among officials
that the Russo american plan of
Withdrawing from Pekin ultimately
Will be concurred in by oil of the
Powers.
In diplomatic quarters this outcome
is looked upon as practically assured.
1t Is pointed out that If the Russian.
American and Japanese troops are
withdrawn from Pekin. the other
Powers would not have 5000 men re-
naming there. which would be n force
utterly inadequate to garrison and de-
fend the capital. The British force
now at Pekin is said to number 2 600
men. and the German force is onlv n
few hundred. On the other hand, the
Russian and Japanese contingents are
very large, and with their Withdrawal
the main strength of the allies at Pekin
would be taken away. AS a matter of
necessity, therefore. 1t is held that the
withdrawal of the larger forces viii
compel the smaller forcas-af Great
Britain and Germany to leave at the
same time.
GERMANY WILL MAKE EN-
QUIRIES.
The brief answer which Germany AL
ready has made to this government
states that any general consideration
of the proposition will be dependent
upon inquiries as to the condition of
AFFAIRS at Pekin, These inquiries are
now In progress through the German
officials ut the Chinese capital. and
their responses are expected to form

HAY PLEASES EVERYBODY.
Young Hay has managed to please
both the Beers and the English" said
Louis DeVilliers, kinsman of the
Cape Colony Chief Justice, who has
lately arrived, to a representative Of
the Associated Press. When Hay ar
rived at Pretoria public opinion had
been made difficult for him by stories
of his English sympathies. The Boer
feeling was so intense that statements
that Hay was no better than an Eng
lish spy We're readily believed; but he
behaved with such quiet and good
sense that he speedily got the respect
of the Boer official class, while he did
not part with his original opinion that
the Britons. in the main. were right in
the war. An American lady of the
keenest Boer sympathies added to Mr..
Hays first perplexit;es by making a
regular campaign to win him to the
Boer side. Failing In this. she gossiped
freely of his alleged British ,pur-
poses; but he outlived all this, was

MRS. MAVERICK AGAIN.

"A tangible result of the recent visit
TO Mrs. Florence Maybrick at Ayles-
bury prison of DIR. Clark Bell, of New
York. the prisoners counsel. and. a rep
resentative of the Associated Press,
was the discovery of a hitherto UNI
known letter from the late Baron Rus
Sell or Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of
England, to Mrs. Maybrick, reaflirming
his belief in his clients innocence, and
vigorously declaring his conviction that
she had been unfairly condemned. This
letter has since been made the basis OF
a new memorial, praying for Mrs. May
brickS release, and so strong is Mr.
Bells belief in The force of this docu-
ment that copy of 1t has been sent
personally to Sir Matthew White Rid
ley. the Secretary of State for the
Home Department at his summer
home. in Northumberland, accompanied
by the request that he give it his
earliest consideration. Mr.. Bell started
Tor the Continent to-day, more than
satisfied with the effects OF his visit
to England. He has not only succeeded
in seeing his client for the first time
since her incarceration. but has since
secured for Mrs. Maybrick an interview
with her mother, Baroness de Roques.
The discovery of the Russell letter is
regarded as important not because
many people doubted his sincerity, but
because II is couched in such terms as

that she was unfairly tried. Mrs. May
bricks friends say DIR. Clark Bell feels
the mysterious influence of opposition
somewhere. which binders a successful
result. The late Mr.. Bayard evidently
felt this when he declared the case had
reached the end of diplomacy, and sub
sequent ambassadors also met It, But

choppers set to work at once, then
turned their faces homeward. They
had spent four days and nights at the
Gap. and the more the youngster saw
of the rotund quartermaster, the less
he cared to cultivate him. 4 portly,
heavily built man was he, some 40
years of age, a widower. whose chill
dren were at their mothers old home
in the far east, business man with
keen eye for opportunities and in
vestments, n fellow who was reputed
to have stock in dozen mines and
Kindred enterprises. knowing hand
who drove fast horses and owned quite
a stable, sharp hand who played
thriving game of poker and had no
compunctions as to winning. Officers
at Emory were fighting shy of him.
He played too big a game for their
small pay and pockets, and the men
with whom he took his pleasure were
big contractors or well-known Sports"
and gamblers, who in those days
fhronged the frontier towns and most
men did them homage. But on this
trip Burleigh had no big gamblers
along and missed his evening game,
and, once arrived at camp along the
Fork. he had "roped in" some Of the
infantry officers. but Brooks and the
engineer declined TO play, and so had

have been the better for leaving it
alone" responded Dean, very quietly.
They rubbed each other the wrong
way from the very start, and this was
bad for the boy, for in those days,
when army morals were less looked
after than they are now, men of Bur-
1eigh's stamp, with the means to en-
fertain and the station to enable them
TO do it, had often the ear of oScers
from headquarters, and more things
were told at such times to generals and
colonies about their young men than
the victims ever suspected. Burleigh
was man of position and influence,
and knew it. Dean was youngster
without either. and did not realize it.
He had made an enemy of the quarter
master on the trip and could not but
know it. Yet, conscious that he had
said nothing that was wrong. he felt
no disquiet.
