Washington, Sept. 15.-Thare were
no developments in the Chinese nego-
tiations yesterday with which the pub
lie could be made acquainted the
whole matter being still in the diplo-
matte phase, and therefore not call
ing for military orders War depart
ment officials are awaiting word from
the state department as to the next step
expected of the troops, but it is now
intimated that this next step will not
be taken Immediately. The situation
has lost something of its acuteness,
owing to the change in the attitude Of
the Russian government. No official
confirmation has reached Washington
of the postpOnement Of the withdrawal,
but the fact is not doubted here. Re-
gardless, however, of the course to be
taken by Russia, it is now said that
there is nothing in the American note
of response to Russia that demands
an immediate evacuation in the event
that the Russian troops are called
away. Instead, it is stated that the
control of the situation would simply
pass from the state department into
Gen. Chaffee's hands, and it would be
for him, after comforting with the
other military commanders, to deter
mine how and to what extent the
American forces should be withdrawn.

THE WAR or ExTEuM!NATION
Against Catholic Missions in China
Assunin.s Creatcr I.roportIons.

Assuming Greater Proportions.
Berlin, Sept 15.-Ihe Cologne Volks-
zeitung. the leading Centrist organ,
has received special advices from Han
kow saying tnat the war of extermina-
tion against Catholic missions in China
is assuming greater dimensions. The
apostolic vicarate in South Shan 81
has been completely destroyed, includ-
ing all the churches. the Christians
have been driven away and their
houses have been burned In the
provincial capital, Tai Yuan Flu, which
is the seat of the bishop of North
Shan ST. the Catholic orphauage, with
900 orphans, has been burned.
Germany has not yet recognized Ii
Hung Chang as a plenipotentiary,"
said q foreign Office Official "and she
will wait to see what the other powers
intend to do before she acts. We do
not believe the report that the Uni
ted States government has recognized
Ii Hung Chang. neither do we credit
the statement that Russia has sent an
ul;imatum to China. In all probability
Ii Hung Chang concocted the story
himself.
1T is premature to consider what
will be the effect upon the relations
between China and Germany of the
statement of Baron Won Ketteler's as

the Chinese authorities. so far as the
Boxer attack upon KiaO Chou is con-
cerned it was unimportant and easily

Vacation Mishaps.

In poisoning occasioned by poison ivy
or oak the skin becomes red, swollen,
hot and irritable, with intense itching
and burning. AS the poison is due to a
volatile acid a solution of baking soda
or saleratus may be used or, still bet
ter, strong soap suds. Later dry starch
busted over the affected part is benefi-
cial
Poisonous mushrooms cause collie,
vomiting, dilated pupils and muscular
weakness. An emetic of hot water and
mustard should be given at once. Lat
er a tablespoonful of castor oil and
stimulants, together with applied heat
The symptoms usually occur within an
hour.
When a person has been bitten by
snake, the wound should be immediate
ly applied to the mouth and the poison
removed by suction. 1t is believed the
venom has no effect upon the mouth
unless cuts and abrasiOns are present.
The treatment of wound caused by
the bite of dog Is substantially the
same.
Wounds caused by tarantulas, cent?
pedes, spiders, bees, wasps and other
insects are rarely dangerous The To-
cal application Of bicarbonate of soda
generally relieves the pain at once.
Wet fresh earth, common salt or
slice Of an onion are also valuable

farms have been established.

CHINESE 14.ADlu DISTURBED.
St. Paul, Jul 22.--Notice has been
given by the Great Northern to- all its
agents not to contract any freight for
China destined to the interior or to
points beyond Shanghai, Hongkong
and Canton, until conditions have be-
come more settled. The trouble in
the east has had a tendency to disturb
both east and west bound trans-Pacific
business. No Chinese exports from
the interior of the empire are reaching
the coast cities destined for the United
States, and east bound ships Fmust
come with lighter cargoes in conse-
quence. This means the Pacific roads
will carry reduced quantity of ori-
entail imports, including silks. With
regard to silks, nearly every boat, up
to date, has brought as high as four to
six carloads Of silks, valued at from
81, 100000 to 81 800, 200. Some of this
silk is, of course, from Japan, but much
VI IL IS from emma.
# 4. railroad official said that the Great
Northern might Temporarily lose its
trsans-Pacific ira connections in case the
Chinese Oh war reached an acute stage.
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha. Steamship
company, which operates in connection
with the Great Northern, is a Japanese
company, whose ships are subsidized
by the Japanese government, and
which can be confiscated for service as
army TRANSPORTS in case Of need. The
Northern Pacific operates its own
ships from China and Japan, and would
not not be subject to the same dificulties
However, il the war becomes general,
there would be little traffic moving be-
tween the United States and China.

for the republican national conven-
tion, formally notified President Nc
.Kinley of his nomination today. Sem
ator Lodge said the harmony of senti-
ment on the face of mis- record was but
reflection of the deeper harmony
which existed in the hearts and minds
OF The delegates. He reviewed Nc
Kinley's adherence to republican prin-
ciples and his masterful action in con
nection with the Spanish war. He
said his new policies were never more
quickly justified, and that on the pos
session of the nilippines rests the ad
mmirable mil diplomacy when warned ali
nations that American trade was not
to be shut out of China The Phila-
delphia convention adopted your
policy both in the Antilles and the
Philippines and has made it their own
and that Of the republican party
His election meant the maintenance
OF protection and sound currency.
President Mckinley in response said
the message was one of signal honor
as well as a summons to duty. To re-
celve a unanimous denomination is an
expression of regard difficult to make
adequate acknowledgement of. If
anything exceeds the honor it is the
responsibility. He profoundly real
lied the solemn obligations. The
declarations of principles of the CON
vention has his hearty approval and at
some future time he will consider its
subjects in detail by letter. The pres
ldent then quoted from his speech four
years ago on a similar occasion as to
what the republican party proposed
doing and asked whether the pledge
had been kept. The gold standard had
been reaifirmed and strengthened, and
the credit OF the country advanced to
the highest place. We are refunding
the bonded debt at 2 per cent lower
rate than any other country. A pro
:
tective tariff law had been enacted.
We have lower interest, higher wages.
more money and fewer mortgages.
From a nation of borrowers the nation
