Election Of president, vice

the United States, yet there
is no prospect of its realization
simply because the power to

it would not be many seasons

One of the most pitiable
outrages ON justice we ever
read was a case in Richmond,
Virginia, not long since,
wherein a man was jailed for
stealing ten cents worth of
coal to keep his dying wife
and starving children from
freezing. Yet such instances
are not unusual. They are con
commitant parts of a govern

Gifts for Five Million Ladies'.

The Most Remarkable Offer Ever Made BY
Reliable Concern.
Gilpin observer., 1900-09-06

Washington, Sept. A dispatch
from Minister Conger was received to-
day by the State Department. 1t was
chiefly interesting in being the first
word from him since his dispatch of
the 9th ultimo referring to the pro-
posed parade of troops through the i'm
perial palace in Pekin. Like that dis
patch, this is dateless as to Pekin. The
contents We're not made public, but it
was stated that it contained nothing
materially changing the situation. The
lack of date led to a determination to
take energetic steps by which all dis
patches hereafter coming to the State
Department. from China will have the
date clearly stated.
Two other dispatches received to-day
from China referred to the state of
health of the troops, which, generally,
is satisfactory. 1t cannot be learned
that there has been any marked ad-
vancement of the negotiations between
the powers touching the withdrawal of
international forces from Pekin.
The plain indication is that the pow
ers are acting upon the information
conveyed in the last note of the State
Department and are bringing all their
influence to bear upon Russia to in
duce her to change her mind as to
withdrawing her troops. For some
reason the authorities here appear to
feel growing confidence that this ef-
fort will be successful. 1t is noted as
a fact of great significance that the
proposition is being advanced to have
Prince Ching return to Pekin as the
acting head of the Chinese govern
ment. The suggestion is made that
the progress of this wave of reorgan-
iZation while the international troops
are still in Pellin, promising as it does
speedily to provide an actual de facto
Chinese government, with which the
nations may treat without further
doubt as to its strength, may solve the
present problem and put the Chinese
question in a fair way to final and sat
isfactOry settlement. Much may de-
pend upon the attitude of Russia in

RUSSIA PROPOSES
PEACE FOR CHINA

w aug. OIL lie course OF
the United States in the pending Chi
nese negotiations was made more clear
to-day by an important note, embody-
ing communication from Russia, and
advising the powers of the action tax
en- by this government
The Russian note declared the inter-
diction Of Ii Hung Changes commune
cation with the Chinese government
was "inexplicable" and asked that the
powers direct their commanders to va
cate the country. The United States
concurs with the position of Russia,
and informs the powers that instruc
tions have been sent to our representa-.
tive in China in the spirit of the Rus
sian note.
The United States government. hav.
ing acted in the Russian proposition as
to the withdrawal of troops from Pc
kin, is now quietly waiting for re-
spOnses to the notes which have been
sent to our various representatives for
presentation to the powers. Judging
by the rate of progress made in the pre-
ceding negotiations, several days and
perhaps week may pass before all
these replys are received.
According to their formal expires
sions, all of the powers are agreed upon
this one point: They do not desire to
enter into formal war upon China.
The United States government is try.
ing to bring about this result. For the
moment II finds itself side by side with
Russia, whose earnestness cannot be
questioned at this time.
The object now in view is to bring
about n situation in China that will
admit of the beginning of negotiations
looking to the re-establishment of or.
der and the cessation of hostilities,
with the issuance of protection to for.
eign life and property. After that the
negotiations may touch upon other
questions that remain to be settled.
1t Is with this object that Russia has
suggested the withdrawal from Pellin,
In order that the Chinese government

ternals. are not apt to yield fealty to n

United States response were but parts
of the general plan.
The Japanese legation hears that
having been Informed by the Japanese
consul at Annoy that he has been as
sured by the Chinese authorities of
their readiness to afford full protection
to the foreign residents and their
property at that point the japanese
government has already ordered the
withdrawal of the marines detailed to
protect the Japanese property In the
native town, and are prepared to with.
draw the rest of the marines ms soon
ms they are satisfied that the peace and
order of the port are assured.
II is understood here that Germany
and Italy alone oppose the withdrawal
of troops.

With a market basket filled with
pieces of bank and treasury notes. an
old woman, who said she lived in
Camden, appeared at the sub-treasury
in Washington recently. and said she
wanted the bits of money redeemed.
1t required only hasty examination
for the officials to determine that the
pieces of notes were all from the edges
and corners of bills of various denomi
nations. The woman refused to say
how she became possessed of the
pieces, and was bluntly told that the
government would allow her nothing
for the remnants of money, because 1t
was plainly evident that the pieces
were all clipped from whole notes.
The officials found that though there
we're corners and edges of all kinds of
notes there was not piece of center
in the entire collection. There were
enough bits. however, to equal hun
dred notes in size, and judging from
the paper and style of notes, 1t had
required about 20 years to collect the
pieces.

GRAND ARMY MEN WILL
MEET AT DENVER in 1901

Chicago, Aug. 31.-With the selection
of officers and the choice of Denver for
the national encampment of 1901, the
thirty fourth national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic prac-
tically came to close yesterday. The
officers chosen are:
Commander-in chief = Leo Rassieur,
st. Louis.
Senior Vice Commander-E. O. Milli-
ken, Portland, Maine
Junior Vice Commander-Frank Sea-
mon, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Surgeon General-John A. wilkins,
Delta, Ohio.
Chaplain-in-C n-Chef-Rev. A. brahms,
San Quentin, California.
The program as mapped out by the
reception committee includes two days
more before the veterans are supposed
to return to their homes. Nothing in
the way of business remains to be
transacted, the next two days being oc-
cupied entirely in excursions, patriotic
concerts in the parks and other affairs
of social character.
When the convention was called to
order to-day the committee appointed
to consider the annual report of the
commander-in-chief approved of it with
the exception of his recommendation of
an effort to secure the change of the
date of Memorial Day from May 3Oth
to the last Sunday in May. The report
was adopted and the delegates took up
the vexed question of pensions. Over
the report of this committee, and over
various amendments and substitutes
which members had prepared to offer,
a rather warm debate was anticipated,
but the report as submitted by the
committee was adopted without amend
ment and practically without debate.
The main feature of the somewhat
lengthy report was the petition to Con
gress to pass a bill providing for a
court of appeals to act Immediately on
the thousands of pension applications
now pending. and which court of ap-
peals shall have final jurisdiction.
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed asking the railroads centered at the
point decided upon for the next annual
