Action of the United states and Russia

New YORK, Sept. "a dispatch tc.
The Tribune from London says:
Explanations Of the American circu-
lar note, which have been cabled here
from Washington, have caused general
astonishment. Whatever the state de-
partment may have meant to convey,
Downing street understood the United
States government to be supporting
Russia's proposal for Immediate retire.,
ment from Peking The British foreign
Office has received two disagreeable
surprises in the last week. 1t was
Justly annoyed at finding that Russia,
after all her declarati ons Of affections
for the international concert, had
calmly given orders for the retirement,
of the Russian troops and legation
without even waiting to hear what the
other powers thought of the move.
Counted on America an Ally.
But the attitude of the United States;
was almost equally disconcertlng. The
British government thought 1t was en-
titled to rely Oh American support in
the endeavor to settle the Chinese ques-
ton etfectually. The British official
view is that this retirement from Peklng>
is only advantageous for Russia which
kills three birds with one stone. In
the first place she has her troops free
for use where she wants them just
now, namely in Manchuria; second.
she limits the expenditure Of money
which in the present condition Of her
finances is highly desirable; third, she
prevents the possible removal of the
Chinese seat of government from Pc
king, where, for reasons Of her own.
she particularly desires that it should
remain.

ers. Brabant's horse proceeded thither,

MESSAGE From Minister COnQer Says
There is No Change in the
Situation.
Remainder of the Dispatch Not
Given Out By Washington
Officials.
Marked Improvement in Time Made
In Communicating With
the Orient.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Minister Con.
niger has been heard from again, his
last advices being dated at Pexing on
Aug. 80. Preceding dispatches have
occupied a week in their transmission
from Peking, according to the estimate
CT the state department, SO that Mr.
Conger's message marks distinct bet
terment Of the means Of cOmmunlca-
ton. Besides it includes the date OF
dispatch, something the department
has been trying to have done for many
weeks. The supposition is that this
particular message came down from
Peking to Tien Tsin by courier and was
put on the wires either at that point or
at Taku. The state department decided
to make no statement as to the contents
of the message beyond the simple one
that Mr.. Conger's message did not
mark any material change in the situa-
tion at Peking. 1t appears that what
ever responses are to be made by the
powers to the proposition to evacuate
Peking are expected to be directed to
the government Of Russia and not to
our state department. The Russian
government und ndoubtedly will in turn
Notify the United States
as we'll as all the other governments
concerned as to the nature Of the re.
sponses.
1t is stated that up to the present less
than majority Of the powers inter.
ested in the Chinese question have re-
sponded to the Russian proposal so far
as our government is advised and our
officials here agree with the general
tenor of the European dispatches in the
conclusion that final action on the part
Of all the powers may not be had for
several days at least. Everything now
depends on the action of Russia, the
attitude of the other nations being neg.
ative, and if she does not hasten to
carry out her announced purpose to
withdraw the troop ps the other govern
ments probably will be content, cher
ishing the hope that i'll the meantime
some kind Of a Chinese government
can be re-esta blished in Peking with
which the powers may negotiate for
final settlement.

SHANGHAI, Sept. s. 5.-Dspatches an
nouncing that the American govern
ment refuses to agree to the with
drawal of the troops from Peking before
satisfaction for the outrages upon and
the losses OF its citizens are given, have
been received here and are applauded
by the entire foreign colony in Shang-
hal. Any other policy, according to
the business men and missionaries with
whom the Associated Press representa-
tive has talked, would be vital blow
to the prestige Of the foreigners and
would weaken their status III China
The local English papers tiercely de-
nounce tie proposals to evacuate Pc
king and say that the Chinese would
interpret evacuation as defeat. The
masses of Cinnamon now believe that
the Chinese arms are victorious.
The Chinese papers printed IN ShauS-
hal contain long, circumstantial &C.
counts Of alleged Chinese victories at
Peking, Tien Tsin and Tung Chao, and
the shops III the native quarter display
for sale lurid photographs Of the Celes-
tial army driving the European soldiers
into the sea a. Taku and cutting them
to pieces at Tien Tsin. They also show
pictures Of the foreign admirals being
tortured in the presence Of the viceroys.
Vice Admiral Seymour is represented,
with his arms pinioned, kowtowing be-.
fore the throne. The Chinese accept.
these reports and pictures as correctly
representing the situation and consider
the reports of the English press as
merely foreign lies.'

something over twenty tons. Mr..
Oxnard was SO well satisfied with the
result that he would have built a beet
sugar factory at Jamestown at that
time had he been able to secure from
farmers contracts for sufficient
acreage of beetS to insure the neces-
sary supply for the factory. The pro-
fits of the factories established in
Germany amount to about IS per cent.
per year on the amount invested.
The statement is made that Is acres
of beets would prove more profitable
to a farmer than 100 acres of land
sown to wheat. Beets if properly
cultivated frequently yield a return
of 500 per acre to farmers.

J. Harrington, who resides three

sugar beetS grown on his farm. He
has One-half an acre of the beets this
year. The samples shown are Of good
size and Mr.. Harrington says the beetS
will be twice as large in month from
now. In view of the fact that the
growing Of sugar beets is the subject
Of much discussion throughout the
county, Mr.. Harrington invites all
those interested to call at his place
and look the same over.
From years OF experience, Mr.. Har-
rington says the cultivation of beets is
very inexpensive. He will grow about
25O bushels this year, and the cost
will not exceed two days work in weed
ing and thinning. Sugar beet seed
should be planted not later than May
20, he says, although this year the
beets have acquired nearly all of their
growth in the last three weeks. Sugar
beets make better pickle than blood
beets; the only objection to them is
the color. Mr.. Harrington, in addi-
tion to the beets, will raise 25O BUSH
els of carrots and $50 bushels of ruta-
bagas for his COWS. He says cattle
like the sugar beet and that it gives
stock more heart than carrots or rut-
abagas. Two years ago he fattened
a milk COW on beets and the animal
was in prime condition, the fat being
new and the meat very tender and
fine. For milk COWS the sugar beet is
is excellent keeping the COWS from
drying up. Hogs also thrive we'll on
the beet, which is a vegetable that
farmers ought to raise more Of each
year for domestic and stock uses.

Army Contractors Will be Called Upon
to Contribute Literally by Chair
man Hanna.
Smaller Factories and Banks Will
Not Put Up This
Year
As Heavily as Last franchise Graf
bers Expected to Pay Well
Trusts Also.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 3.-ln order to
raise funds for the campaign, the army
contractors will be called on by Chair
man Hanna to put up. Contractors
for supplies munitions Of war, meat
and clothing, to say nothing OF trans
portation, have drawn millions from
the United States treasury since the
war with Spain began in 1898. If Nc
Kinley is reelected these men expect
to get more money from wars in for
eign countries and such supporters Of
the administration are regarded as
natural subjects for assessment for
the campaign.
1t is reported that the big banks
and insurance companies are not rain
ing checks on Hanna as in 1896. The
death of Huntington, the millionaire
railroader, who contributed great
sums in 1896, will also prove loss. In
a speech in New Jersey Mr.. Hanna
gave all who get benefits from the
administration fair warning. He said:
''The time is at hand when every man
is called on to contribute what he can
to perpetuate this administration"
Philadelphia is expected to raise
$780, 600. 1t is stated from authentic
sources that the republicans in 1896
had four times the money to spend
that they had in 1892, and that oe-
tween So, 100000 and S4,O0O,0O0 were
spent in 1892. In 1896 the small fac
tories and smaller banks were fright
ened into contributing large sums for
Mckinley. They will not do SO this
year, as the trusts have cut in on
both.
Seekers after franchises in the
islands regard the payment of money
to the republican committee as purely
business proposition. The fund that
Hanna will have to spend will be con-
tributed from a less number, but it
will be large.
