BERLIN, Aug. 9-Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee, recently appointed to the
supreme command of the German forces in
China and looked upon in some quarters as
likely to be chosen as commander-in-chief
of the international troops. was interviewed
this evening by the correspondent of the
Associated Press, shortly after his arrival
in Berlin.
MY appointment" said General Won
Waldersee, lis due entirely to the initiative
of Emperor William. L shall start for
China, going probably by way of San Fran
cisco, in a short time. / am fully aware of
the great difficulties 1 shall have to meet
in China and of the extreme delicacy of my
position there, but l can only say that 1
shall do my best to prove myself worthy
of the honor and of the confidence placed
in me by the Kaiser. Countess Won Valdez
see will accompany me to the United
States"
This evening the field marshal had con-
ferences at the Offices of the general staff
and the minister of war.
1t is understood that Emperor William
some weeks ago preached the subject of
the chief I'm command to Count Won Wal
dersee personally. basing his proposal upon
the condition that all the other powers
should acquiesce in the appointment. AS
to this latter point diplomatic negotiations
have been going on during the last few
days. Emperor Nicholas, with whom the
count is an especial favorite, consented,
rance following somewhat reluctantly.
AUSTRIA Hungary and Italy quickly con-
scented; the acquiescence of the United
States and Great Britain was next received,
and the assent of Japan came last.
The German Foreign Office told the As
sociated Press correspondent this evening
that the consent Of the other powers had
been virtually secured to the selection of
Count Won Waldersee commander-in-
chief

Rank Ring Rule.

The Populist leaders, in apparent
disregard of their off-repeated probes
sions of "rule of the people" idea, have
met at Spokane and selected their list
of delegates to the national conven-
ton without the formality of local
conventions of the party. And of
course, Farmer Todd has placed him
self on tie list. The meeting consist
ed Of the state committee and eleven
county chairmen, who constituted
themselves for the think-tapk of the
populists of this state, and fixed things
to suit themselves for trading purposes
only.
A number of active populists who
were not in the combination are out
with a strong complaint against this
little scheme of Governor Rogers to
deliver what is left of the party, BODY
and breeches, into the democratic
camp, to gain the denomination of
himself and his clique. How ever, the
populist party is dead as an organlza-
ton, and these combinations will have
little effect on its former members,
who are left Tree to follow the dictates
OF their own minds and consciences
Ii they are inclined TO be democrats
they will ally themselves with that
party; if not they will consider them
selves republicans.
Just now, "lefore the battle" the
earnest voter in search of party can
calmly think out the propositions for
himself and chose the right. If he
wishes to join the party which is most
generally found on the right side, and
whose success has always meant the
the prosperity, protection and best IN
terests Of the whole people, we can i'm
agine what his decision will be. An
ag'egatlon borne, like balloon, by
every fleeting wind, has the element of
danger as we'll as attraction, and is
foredoomed to disaster, if not distruc-
ton. Must the lessons of 1896 be
learned again?

IN good shape. The Mooking Bird was
famous chiefly for her whistle. When
she turned loose all other sounds were
