CoNGER WILL STICK.
American Minister Has No Intention
of Leaving Pekin,

WASHINGTON. Sept. A very inter-
esting dispatch was received today at the
war department from Cen Chaffee II
described the military situation as emf
nently satisfactory and would have been
OF greater value but for the omission
common to all of the other official dis
patches from China, namely, the date
line.
However, taking into consideration the
fact that cablegram was received bv
the state department today dated five
days ago FROM Mr.. Conger, the conclusion
was reached that Gen. Chaffee's dispatch
also was sent from Pekin about Aug. 2s
or 30. Gen. Chaffee asks a very i'm
portant question as to the withdrawal OF
the American troops. The answer to
that question, it is said, might have been
found in the state departments answer
TO the Russian evacuation proposition.
But that answer, or rather a SYNOPSIS Of
It, was not cabled to Gen. Chaffee until
the goth ult, and it is assumed that. al
lowing for the same time in transmittal
as was consumed by Gen. Chaffees dis
patch received today the synopsis has
just reached him. When the American
answer to the Russian proposal was
made public, 1t was stated here that Gen.
Chaffee had been instructed some time
before by telegraph just what course TO
pursue in the matter of retiring from
Pekin in the event of the emergency that
afterward arose. This being so, today's
application for instructions might be re-
garded as an indication that he had not
received the original instructions when
he sent his message.
The dispatch received from Minister
Conger was gratifying tc officials in that
it contained the date of Pekin. Auc. so
as an integral part of the message, and
this part in cipher. Aside from bringing
the information up to a recent day. it
satisfied the officials that the minister at
least had the instructions to include the
place and date of each message as an
integral part Of it. This promises TO do
away with the great confusion caused
thus far by dateless messages. The text
of the Conger dispatch was not MADE
public, but it was authoritatvely stated
that it did not change the situation and
was devoted somewhat to expressions of
opinion. 1t was authoritatively stated in
this connection that Minister Conser will
remain at his post until further orders
An official communication received hers
through diplomatic channels makes the
rather surprising statement that Ii HIlne
Chang is at present using all his efforts
to have one or more of the powers dis
sent from Russia's proposition, believing
that rupture of the allies will be of
greater advantage to China than anv
agreement, even en- the favorable basis
put forward by Russia.

All the transportation and tentage
asked for by Gen. Chaffee has been an
ticipated by the department and has been
shipped. Much of it is at Taku and the
balance IS due there very soon.
In cable received from Gen Chaffee
some days ago he said he needed eight
escort wagons for each battalion of In
fantry and ten for each squadron of cav
airy. The escort wagons are four-mule
wagons and somewhat lighter than the
six-mule wagons. There are now on the
way to Gen. Chaffee 137 Of these teams
and 80 were sent over from Manila The
tents and equipage asked for are now
on the way and lumber in sufficient
quantities for the army In China win be

formation that the work of laying a
cable from Shanghai to Che Foo had
commenced. 1t is believed that unless
some accident is encountered the cable
will be completed and In operation with
In week This ought to make commu-
nication between Washington and our Of
hcials in China much more expeditions.
In order to ascertain what messages
have been received by Gen Chafree the
department today instructed him to ac.
knowledge the receipt of all dispatches
sent him, giving the date on which they
left here. 1t is stated that as the Pekin
cate seems to be cut off from all dis
patches received from Gen. Chaffee. th sre
is possibility that the Washington date
has been removed from dispatches sent
him. The department intends to get ac-
curate information on this point.

Second Day developed a Fine Days
Sport on the Track.

second Day Developed a Fine Days
Sport the Track.
Better racing and a far better attend
ance characterized the afternoon pro-
gramme at the state fair grounds yester-
oay Ihe platform attractions were on
hand and were very good Everything
passed OF with a smoothness and dispatch
that showed the officials had got things
into proper working order
The track was in much better condI-
ton than on the opening day, and TODAY
it will be in fine shape for the sneedy
trotters who will go after the $1,000 purse.
The fastest heat yesterday was the first
or the 2:22 pacing, in which KasseH came
under the wire in a fighting finish in 2:131s.
In this event the horses Of the wilkes
blood carried off the first two places and
another finished fourth.
In the 2:S5 trotting event Mabel Onward
carried off premier honors in straight
heats the real racing being between John
l. and Joymaker for second and third
money.
The running event, in seyen-furlone
heats, was close and exciting until the
last heat when Zebra beat Melody by
almost block.
2:22 PACING.
OGrady, ,Kassell, Wanda and Kitty Kes-
ter were the entries, and got off after tho
second score. Kassell went to the front
and had things all to himself through
out. O'Grady was good second and un-
der the whip came dangerously near to
the leader Wanda was third, with the
others trailing. Time, 2:1S1s.
The second heat was started on the
second score and Tremain drove KasselI
out IN front, and at the quarter was clear
Of the other three Kitty Kester ard
y Grady drew up at the half where the
first three We're neck and neck, with Wan
da several lengths away. They kept in
line until the three-quarter pole was
reached, when Kassell took the lead and
kept 1T until the wire was reached win
ming easily by a length and a half Kes-
ter was second, a length and a half in
front Of OGrady, and Wanda brought up
the rear. Time, 2:15%.
The third and deciding heat was in
teresting chiefly for the race between
O'Grady and Wanda for second place.
Kassell held his field throughout and
maintained his grip on the big end of the
purse. O'Grady was second at the half,
with Wanda almost even up and in this
position they remained until the last hun
dred yards, when O'Grady was overhaul
ed and passed, Wanda catching the
judges eyes in time to secure the place.
The result of the heat gave Kassell first
money, O'Grady second and Wanda
third.
2:35 TROTTING
The 2:35 trot brought out five horses.
Mabel Onward, Ecstacy, Joymaker. Ad-
miral Symmes and John L. ;Frugality and
Geo. II. AlleFton were also entered but
were drawn. In the first heat Mabel On
ward had the pole and was never headed,
winning with length and a half to

GREYHoUNDs WILL RACE.
Wilhelm der Crosse and Deutsch-
land VIII Leave Together.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The greatest
ocean race in maritime history began to-
day when the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
and the Deutschland the swiftest mer-
chantmen in the world, sailed out of the
harbor for the English channel. one hour
and twelve minutes apart. Each carried
its full quota of passengers and freight.
The freight for each was placed so as to
trim the great racers for their best work.
1t Is said at the piers today that the
ships would choose courses probably forty
miles apart, so that they would not be in
sight of each other more than a few
hours. On this voyage the Deutschland
will consume about $500 tons of coaI, the
Kaiser but little 1ess.

ALL ARoUr A BICYCLE,

Caused Trouble Because OF MIsunder-
standing About Payment for 1t.
Wilmington Sunday Star.
There was an interesting case heard
before Magistrate Daley Saturday morning.
1t was that Of Gilbert H. Hayden. of this
city VS.. e. w. Munlove, of near MiddlstowD.
The suit was instituted for the recovery OF
SIG 50, being the price of a bicycle sold 10
Edward Moneymaker, colored, who was
employed by Manlove. From the evidence
produced at the hearing it appears that
Hayden did not care about trusting the
colored man as he prepared a note for
which Manloye was to be the endorser.
But Manlove refused to endorse the note
and gave him letter in which he agreed to
stand good for the amount of money in his
hands. Hayden sold the bicycle on Sunday,
the lease was signed onSunday and Money
maker took the bicycle home.
During the following week, while Money
maker was riding his wheel, he collided
with dog. There was a general mix-up
of things for time and and one of the
wheels was broken. He sent the bicycle to
Hayden who repaired it and delivered it.
He then tried to collect Moneymaker's debt
from Manlove on the plea that Manlove
had promised to stand good for the wheel.
Manlove denied that he did so and main
tanned that he guaranteed to stand for what
money be held belonging to Moneymaker.
Judgment in favor of the defendent was
given.

THE TWO CONVENTIONS.

AS was expected, as soon as
the time and place for the Repub
lican State Convention was an.
nounced, the Union Republican
Committee selected the same
place, Dover, and the same time,
Tuesday, February 9th, for their
convention. The purpose is the
naming of delegates to the Ma.
tional Convention in Philadel-
phia, on June 10th next. We
are glad the conventions are so
close together, close enough to
harmonize, as we elsewhere set
out more fully, but they are ap-
parently forcing the season as to
time.
The Republicans stand by the
party apportionment of years.
namely: one hundred and sixty
delegates; forty. from the 1st
District, Wilmington; thirty
eight from the End District, rural
Middletown transcript., 1900-02-17

New Castle; forty from the 8rd
District, Kent; forty-two from
the 4th District, Sussex.
The Union Republicans have
changed their apportionment
from 2c0 to 1856 delegates, with
out proper authority it would
seem, but apparently "every-
thing goes . in that organization.
They give New Castle county IS
delegates instead of 78, Kent and
Sussex each so instead of 60
each. They apportion five dele
gates to each Representative
District in the State, excepting
the Second and Third in Viii.
mington, which are to have each
ten. This may be movement
towards party justice, so basely
slighted May 18th, 1896, but it is
without party authority. and with
boss dictation which may be good
in itself but leaves that nasty
taste in the mouth.
