railroad companies, ETC., the cash re-

year the fair profits were $4,000, and
while the figures given above do not
show an increase Of quite $4,000, the re-
ceipts for privileges this year will be
fully $1,000 more than last, and the rail-

Washington. Sept. 11.-Orders have
been cabled to Gen. Chanee to prepare
his forces for withdrawal from Pekin.
Further than that the war department
has taken steps to have Taku a SUI
ficient number Of United States trans
ports to remove h troops to the Phil
ippines as soon as they reach the port.
These orders are preparatory and do
not necessarily indicate that gov
eminent mas decided finally upon an
immediate withdrawal from China. 1t
is simply placing itself in a position to
carry out the pledge conveyed In the
Russian note In this language: The
result Of these considerations is that,
unless there is such a general express
sion by the powers in favor OF contin-
ued occupation as to modify the views
expressed by the government of Russia
and lead to a general agreement for
continued occupation, we shall give In
structions to the American generals In
China to withdraw our troops from Pc
kin after due conference with the other
commanders as to the time and manner
Of withdrawal"
Send Representative to Pekfn.
Acting Secretary Hill OF the state oe-
partment said last night that there
were no developments in the Chinese
situation yesterday. Dr.. Hill was at
the state department for a time during
the morning, but not much of impor-
lance had come during the night and
there was nothing to make public. The
naval office was also without informa-
ton from the East during the day, mol
were any dispatches from Gen. Chahee
posted at the war department. The
Japanese legation furnished a news
paragraph Of considerable interest and
Importance, indicating that the Chinese
imperial family are alive to the neces-
sity of having a duly authenticated
representative at Pekin to meet the
foreigners with a view to h arrange
ment Of affairs there. This news is the
return Of Prince Ching to Picking, to
which place he was escorted by a COM
pany Of Japanese several days ago.
Prince Ching is one of the best known
pro-foreigners, in China, has occupied
important positions in n government
Of that country, and his return by h
direction Of the emperor is to the Of
fcials here a good augury for the open
ing Of negotiations for peace.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Repub-
licans elected their, state ticket yes
terday by a plurality owe the Demo-
cratic candidates Of ove $1,000. The
vote was almost as large as four years
ago and the returns so far as received,
compared with 1896, show Republican
losses Of about 10 per cent, or a Demo-
cratic gain Of about 10 per cent. The
result must be in a great easur
gratifying to both parties. To the Re-
pubficans. because they polled almost
as lalrge a vote as in 1896. and to the
Democrats because Of the heavy
gains over that year. While thousands
Of voters who, in 1896, deserted the
Democratic ranks. returned to the
fold yesterday, yet the Republicans
were able to make good most Of the
loss.
The entire Republican ticket, headed
by John p. Hill of Augusta for gov
ernor, was elected, as were all four OF
the congressman, Allen, in Reeds old
district; Littlefied, in plngley's old
district; Burleigh in the Third and
Boutelle In the Fourth. The campaign
throughout the state except, perhaps
in Cumberland county, was fought en-
tirely on national issues. In Cumber-
land county, with Portland as a CEN
ter, there was fought n Of the most
interesting contests in the state. 1t
was be sed' on the liquor law, its en-
forcement or it's non-enforcement, tho
Republicans representing the latter
and q Prohibition candidate the form
er issue. The fight was a bitter one.
As to the legislature there were few
Democratic gains. This body will meet
In January and re-eiect w. P. Frye to
the United States senate.

lions IL Revived At Duluth.
Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 12.-While It -
aot likely that Official confirmation OF
the report can be had from the officials
Of the road or from Mr.. Hill for some
time, 1t is learned upon the best au-
thority that it is Mr.. Hills purpose
to Immediately continue the line OF
the Eastern Minnesota from Deer
River to the northern extremity Of Red
lake. This decision is, no doubt, oc-
casioned by reason Of the fact that
the Northern Pacific is now extending
Its lines north from Bemidji to tho
Same territory. The point sought BY
MI. Hill, so far as known at the pres
ent time, is sixty miles north and thir-
ty miles to the west of Deer River. It
Is asserted in some quarters that the
long-looked-for line from Duluth to
Winnipeg may develop from the pro-
ject in hand.
