WILL NAME COMMISSION.
Actual Negotiations Looking to Settlement
with China VIII BE Conducted by
More Than One Person.

Washington, Sept. SIT seems to
be regarded as highly probable in
official circles that when the time ar
fives for the actual negotiations look
ing to a settlement with China, this
government will appoint commission
for that purpose, rather than place
the negotiations in the hands of a
single individual. As to the numer-
ical strength of such a commission,
the general impression seems to be
that it would not consist of more
than five members, more likely three,
and possibly of only two.
Radical Change in China's Future.
Shanghai, Sept. st is reported
that the American minister approves
inviting Ii Hung Chang to Pekin to
negotiate on behalf of China. Those
who know this viceroy best regard
him as insincere. incapable and unre-
liable. In Pekin the government is
dead. It means either partition or
the maintaining of independent pro-
vincial governments.

ALLIGATOR IN TRENTON.
One Is FIshed out of the River whicI,
Flows Through the Center
of the Town

Catching alligators is not common
amusement in Trenton, N. J., but one
was caught the other day in Assapink
creek, which makes its way through
the center of the town. A boy play
ing in the stream near where it flows
under Broad street spied something
that looked Ike big lizard on a wa
ter-soaked log. He was frightened and
called to Chief Engineer rurdy of the
trolley road, who happened to be near.
Purdy investigated and found that the
lizard was an alligator three feet long.
He got rope and pole and managed
to slip a moose over the body of the
reptile, and after hard struggle he
landed it. How the alligator managed
to get into the creek is mystery.

TO STAY IN PEKIN.
Germany Blocks Russia's Scheme
for Withdrawal of Troops.
Native Christians Would Be RuthlessIy
Slain If Left to Mercy of Imperial Gov
ernment-Chafree Repores Entry
into the Imperial Palace.

Washington, Sept. There seems
to be a practical unanimity of opin-
ion among the powers outside of Rus
STA that blunder would be commit
ted if the Russian plan was adopted.
Germany is understood to have re-
piled to the ST. Petersburg note, stat
ing that she deemed it unwise to al
low the troops to leave Pekin because
all the purposes which led the allies
to seize the Chinese capital have not
yet been carried out The German
government calls attention to the po.
sition of the native Christians, who,
if abandoned to the mercies of the i'm
perial government, would probably be
as ruthlessly slaughtered as were
thousands of their faith before the
occupation. Italy and Austria have
replied along the same lines as Ger
many. Great Britain is known to
agree that the interests of all nations
demand the retention of troops in Pc
kin. Germany's reference to the need
of continuing the protection of the
Christians in Pekin is well received in
administration circles. It is thought
there must be about 10000 still in the
capital, most of them without means
to pay for transportation to the
coast. Should withdrawal of the al
lies bring on renewed massacres in
Pellin the disorders might spread over

MissOuri's Debt.

Missouri : fast vanishing debt will
be wiped out during thu next biennial
period. In other words, Missouri
will, on the LIST day OF January, 1903,
start out without dollar of debt
This announcement was made by
State Auditor James NJ Seibert after
the meeting OF the state board offund
commissioners held on Wednesday
last, at which an order was made TAX
ing up 5000 900 of the state refund
ing bonds.
This is an argument for Democratic
government in the state of Missouri
which cannot be answered by the Re
publicans. 1t appeals to the business
man, the taxpayer, the substantial
citizen in every voca ton of life. Care
full, economic management of the bus
mess affairs of the state by the Dem
ocrats has eliminated the state debt
left to the people % years ago as a
heritage of several years OF Republi-
can nllsfuIe.
The word should and will be passed
around among the people of Missouri
The management of the debt and
finance OF Missouri is an object lesson
OF good government, that can only
be obtained under Democratic rule.
1t will be a source of deep gratifica-
ton of the patriotic citizens of the
state TO know that with the advent
of the year 1908, the year in which
we celebrate the Tooth anniversary OF
the Louisiana purchase, that Nilsson
ri, the imperial state of all those
carved out of that magnificent do
main, will have freed her limbs of the
shackles of Republican debt.-Jeffer-

Stevenson got through school by

his genuine Americanism from ances-

wrote the first Declaration OF indie

farmers OF keckledburg county,
North Carolina, III 1875. 1t is an

Centre college, the great Kentucky

He supported Bryan cordially in
1896. He has never wavered in his
allegiance to the democratic faith.
