NEGOTIATIONS REPORTED AL
READY BEGUN AT PEKIN.
so CHINESE ENVOY SAYS
Minister WI Calls On President Nc
KinIey and Thanks Him For
Friendly Attitude of United States
Government-French Minister Also
Calls.

London, Oct. 18.-The Chinese min
lister here, Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng LuI
asserts that peace negotiations have
actually begun at Pekin, between the
Chinese plenipotentiaries and the rep
resentatives of the powers in the
Tsung Lii Yamen buildings, which, he
adds have been given to the Chinese
for that purpose.
Minister WI Grateful.
Washington, Oct. 18.-Minister WI
called upon the president yesterday
morning. Upon leaving the white
house the minister said that he had
conveyed to the president message
from the emperor of China thanking
Mr.. Mckinley for the consideration
shown by the United States during
the Chinese trouble. Minister WI
also brought a desptach from Shang
hal, from the southern viceroys stating
that the imperial party had reached
Ting Kuan, only a few miles from 81
Nan Flu, the new capital, on Oct. II
1t is very unusual thing for the min
lister to communicate directly with the
president, but the unusual character
of the message which Minister WI had
to convey warranted departure from
the ordinary diplomatic custom. AT
ter delivering the message for which
the president expressed grateful &C
knowledgements the minister and
president talked some time about the
situation in China.
The French charge d Affaires, M
Thiebaut, called upon the state depart
ment yesterday for conference with
Secretary Hay 1t is understood he
presented memorandum proposing
that peace negotiations with China be-
gin Immediately, in accordance with
favorable action of the powers on the
recent note Of the French govern
ment. M. Thiebaut also made known
that satisfactory replies received from
the several governments pointed out
the desirability of having action taken
at once to carry out the several points
on which the powers have been
brought into agreement.

CECIL. RHODES DUTCH HOME.
Every Article of Furniture is Pure

Dutch in His Domicile at the Cape.
If you speak to Mr.. Rhodes about
his great achievements and the name
he has made in the world he will GER
tainly look bored and change the con-
versation; if you praise his house,
however, you at once discover that
you have struck the right note, for
there is something almost Womanly
in the pride which he takes in his
home and it's belongings.
1t was Mr. Rhodes who made it the
fashion in South Africa to use Dutch
furniture, and he bought up all the
good specimens which were to be
found in old Boer houses. Every
piece OF furniture in his house is pure
Dutch and antique, and he is careful
that they are all in keeping with each
other as regards their size and weight,
IS we'll as their design. Some of the
old bits OF marqueteric he has secured
are almost priceless, but everything at
the same time is simple.
There are few knick-knacks about
the rooms, and flowers are generally
long-stemmed lilies or other large,
luxuriant blooms, arranged en- masses
in solid vases. The dining-room is al
enormous apartment. 1t runs the

DEFENSE CLOSES CASE.
Some Testimony in Youtsey's Favor
introduced

introduced.
Georgetown, KY, Oct. 18.-The de-
Tense in the Youtsey trial closed it's
case late yesterday afternoon and the
commonwealth began it's rebuttal tes-
timony. Youtsey's condition material
ly improved yesterday, though he still
remains in stupor most of the time.
A feature of the day was the testi-
mony of Col. Nelson. one of Youtsey's
attorneys, who denied he had told Ar
thur Goebel and Col Campbell that
"Youtsey knew enough to hang Gov
ernor Taylor" but admitted he did say
his client knew something that
would be very beneficial to the COM
monwealth in it's prosecution of Tay-
lor." The prosecution argued from
this that if Youtsey thus admitted he
did know something damaging to Tay-
lor he must necessarily know other
details of the tragedy.
The defense got in some strong tes-
timony yesterday squarely contradict
ing the prosecutions witnesses. w. J.
Davidson of Seattle and Mrs. C. E.
Mason of Chicago testified through an
affidavit for the defendant. Davidson
said that the leaving of the gun by
Youtsey in his Office January 27 had
no reference to any attempt to kill
Senator Goebel or any one else. Mrs.
Mason said that she saw Youtsey on
the east steps of the executive build

THE GRAND RAPIDS HERALD.

Among the dailies of Michigan the
Grand Rapids Herald is entitled TO
high rank. 1t is certainly the best
morning republican paper il not the
leading republican paper in the state.
AS result OF its loyalty TO the princi-
plies of the republican party, combined
with its enterprise as newspaper, it
enjoys an ever increasing circulation
circulation that among its class,
morning papers) is now probably sec
ond only to the Free Press, of Detroit.
The Herald as a newspaper is thor
oughly up-to-date. In addition TO the
very valuable service of the Associated
Press, its state news service from spec
lal correspondents is becoming better
every month. Its corps Of special cor
respondents embraces not only western
Michigan but the state capitol, the
state metropolis and the national capt.
tol as well. Nothing that is going on
escapes their vigilent eyes. It's enter
prise as local state newspaper was
best evidenced by the reports of the
republican state convention, that were
published in its columns last week. 1t
Is not saying too much, to state that
the reports OF the convention published
In the Herald were more accurate and
complete than were published in any
other newspaper. not excepting any of
the Detroit dailies. The Herald is the
only newspaper in the state that on the
morning of the second day of the con
vention, prophecjed the nomination of
Colonel A. I. Bliss for governor The
remainder of the state ticket was also
accurately foretold with but one ex-
ception.
The Sunday editions OF the Herald
are usually news and literary gems. In
its various instructive features, its
stories, its illustrations, its correspon-
dence, etc, it is entitled to rank along
side the magazines, containing as it
does quite as much matter.
The average issue of the Daily and
Sunday Herald now exceeds $4,000
copies and the Semi Weekly Herald
has more than 5000 regular subscrib-
ers. The Semi-Weekly has been gain.
ing ground very rapidly during the
past year or two, particularly among
the farmers of the Fifth Congressional
district and western Michigan. 1t is
an eight-page paper issued twice
week Tuesdays and Fridays,) and is
mailed to any address for $l.00 a year,
in advance.

The Coming sleeves.

Sleeves are made to the elbow, tight
fitting, and with a deep turned back
cuff of lace or embroidery. To wear
with them are undersleeves Of lace or
long gloves, this applying even to cloth
gowns. Everything is elaborate, and
sashes of soft lacelike materials are
put on every style of gown. Fancy
silk waists, embroidered by hand in
charming designs, which are formed
into a yoke, with deep cuffs and col
lars, are the novelties in the SO called
inexpensive waists; these, even in
Paris, sell for $50 In this country
they cost more.
One fact already established is that
autumn gowns Of silk, lightweight
cloth, Grape, cashmere, poplin-in
short, all that are not absolutely Of the
tailor variety and made of heavy cloth
ARE to show novel sleeve effects that
include forms reminiscent of Queen
