There is not very much interest being

other. Both parties are deficient in organi-
cation, and the leaders of both are there
fore In the dark as to the exact status of
political opinion. While there will probably
be some democratic gains In the agricul-
tural counties and loss to the republican
vote In industrial counties, due to apathy
the industrial vote will remain sufficiently
republican to carry the state for Mckinley

that received in 1896, will be sufficiently
decisive.

NEW GOY,T FOR CHINA.

Foreigners 10 BE Hand ed over to AL
lies at Point Yet To Be Agreed Upon.
New York, August 15.-Pritchard Nor
gan, member of Parliament, whose close
relations with Chinese commerce have
enabled him to keep in close touch with
events in the tar east, sends the follow
ing caple to the World:
Negotiations are proceeding in China
with the commanders of the European
forces to arrange conditions for hand
ing over the foreigners now in Pekln to
the allied army.
'sIhe point where the transfer shall be
made IS still in dispute, the question
being whether 1t shall take place inside
or outside the wall OF Pekin.
Immediately the safety OF the foreign
ers in Pekin is assured, Lii Hung Chang
will offer terms of settlement OF the
whole difficulty giving full reparation to
the powers, especially Germany, includ-
ing Indemnity and exemplary punish
ment of all the officials, both military
ana civil, who have been responsible for
the ouUrages
GAS it is unlikely the present govern
ment of China can survive the crisis
new form OF govern ment viii probably
be proposed, under which China viii De
governed by 10 native VicerOys appointed
by the powers under a supreme head, a
European, nominated by the powers. A
vacancy arising among the 10 chosen
rulers, the viceroys will have the right
to nominate a man to till the place sub
ject to the supreme head.
1.-The responsibility for the govern
ment of the country under European
surveillance, will be thrown upon the
shoulders Of the patriotic Chinese Vice
roys, with their assistants, and the adj
ministration viii be conducted broadly
on lines suggested by the reformed i'm
perial customs under Sir Robert Hart.

Chinese. The fact is now recognized by
all the powers.

new scheme; simultaneously with the or

Washington, August 15.-The statement
was made tonight on reliable authority
that the Pekln government would desig-
nate some high official to meet the COM
manders of the allied armies at Tung
Chow and agree with them on some
measures for the safe conduct of the
members of the foreign legations in the
capital, Information to this effect was
received here today.
1t is not at all unlikely that the meet
ing already has taken place il General
Chaffee has pushed on to lung Chow.
The suggestion was made tonight that
this proposal of the Pekin government
may be an Important feature of the Con-
ger despatch which the officials of the
state department. declined to give out for
publication as we'll as of dispatches re-
ceived in European countries and which
the governments are keeping secret, Gen.
Chatfee has been informed of the contents
of the latesU COnger message so that he Is
in possession of all the facts. 1T is not
known definitely who the Chinese official
that is to meet the ENJOYS will be, but
the name of Prince Ching has been sug-
gested. He is a well known pro-foreigner
and has been largely instrumental in de-
tending the legaJiOners in their days or
peril in Pekin, and has commanded a
large portion of the imperial army.

ana the Americans were afraid to forge
one at the time when challenged to pro-
duce the document by Aguinaldo. 1'hev

forged letters and documents in French
