To Renew Proposition.

Joseph Roy, representing the Trow.
bridge & Niver company, Chicago,
will tonight renew to the city council
the proposition of his firm for the
purchase of $50. 900 of Rock Island
water certificates, on the same terms
as offered at the meeting of the coun-
ell a week ago, when, the council fail
ing to adopt the proposition, it was
withdrawn by Mr.. Roy, who was not
in position to leave the offer open
owing to the possibility of fuctVation
in the financial market. The reason
given by the aldermen in deferring
action was to allow home people an
opportunity to buy the bonds if they
desired them. Mr.. Roy states he has
inquired of local banks and learns
that none of them care to buy up the
certificates, as they have more adj
vantageous investments for their
money. Neither have any citizens
applied for The certificates as yet.

Head Office Clerk to Wed Mer-
chant of Whiteside County,
Marriage Secret Out.

The chasm that has yawned
between Fulton and Rock Island for
several years past is at last to be
bridged. The people of the two
municipalities that have been at war
since 1897 will meet aud smoke the
pipe of peace. Warning factions will
stack arms, and where once was heard
the deep bay of the dogs of war and
the harsh shrek of the eagle, will be
the musical COO OF the turtle dove.
The cause for the resumption of the
entente cordiale between the two
cities is the announcement of the
wedding of Miss Harriet Isabel Fay,
of the Woodmen head office, this city
and Alexander G. Williamson, the
well known druggist of Fulton, which
occurs Wednesday. Oct. II, at the
residence of the brides parents, in
Fulton, Ill. Miss Fay, who is sister
of Mrs. G. w. Halves. came to this
city from Fulton at the time of the
forcible removal of that institution,
and has since resided here. She de-
parts tonight for her home in Fulton.

The Rock Island Republican made
its bow yesterday as the latest ven
ture in the local newspaper field.
Durant Howard, late of the Moline
Mail, is editor and publisher, and the
announced mission of the new publ
cation is to cspouse the doctrines of
the republican party and to harmon
ize the discordant elements of the
party in the county. The paper pre-
sents neat typographical appearance,
which fact is due to the eXertions of
Frank Nj. Sneed, who has charge of
the mechanical department, and who
has been associated with Mr.. Howard
in the preliminaries.

LOOK FOR EARLY PEACE IN CHINA.
Officials Think Germany's New
Terms Will Lead to Settlement.

Officials Think Germany'S New
Terms Will Lead to Settlement.
Washington-(Special)-Al signs now
point to a harmonious settlement of the
Chinese trouble. The offer which the
German emperor makes Emperor Ku-
ang Hsii to place the troops under Field
Marshal Waldersee subject to such Or
ders as may be necessary to guarantee
him full protection should he return to
Pekin is considered important by ad-
m~inistration officials. It should have
the effect of sustaining the Chinese en-
peror in his present conciliatory course
and assure him of the support Of a
powerful force should Prince Tuan or
other anti-foreign leaders attempt to
stir up a revolution to protect them
selves against the recent imperial edict
ordering them before a court for pun
ishment.
From an administration point of view
few obstacles remain in the way of a
speedy settlement. Some concessions
may be necessary before q common pol
icy can be adopted, but all nations that
participated in the relief of Pekin show
a disposition to be reasonable a nd
make them. Consideration of the new
propositions submitted by Germany and
France will be given as soon as the
president reaches Washington. The Of
fcials do not conceal the fact that they
had feared that Germany contemplated
delaying adjustment af the entire Chi
nese question in the hope Of obtaining
territorial reparation for.the murder Of
her minister. This apprehension has
been largely dissipated by the new
suggestions advanced. They are in line
to a great degree with the views of
this government. It is understood to
be the purpose of this government to
take advantage of the renewal of the
concert between the nations to formu-
late a method of settlement OF the en-
tire Chinese question

upon being asked why he said:

troops, VINO saved him and his men
from being practically wiped out, as he
claimed in his magazine article which
was published in ScTibner's in April,

who commanded the troops. 1 might
also say that 1 was brought up on a
farm in Nebraska, and 1 cannot cOnde-
scend to go and hea any person who
insulted the farmers Of this country as
Roosevelt did in his book entitled
Ranch Life and Hunting Trail These
are just a few of the reasons why L

THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK.
The Republican Managers Facing
a Serious Situation.

Observation-Disclosures lead
ers are in a distressed state of mind,
bordering upon despair, over the re-
cent closing of mills and factories and
reduction of wages in other m~anIfac-
turing establishments in and near Chi
cago.
Coming on the heels of alarming dis
closures concerning the situation in the
Pennsylvania coal region, the Hanna
PAYNE syndicate is almost ready TO
throw UP its job in despair. Several
leading republicans declare openly that
the events of the last week have ut
terly lost to Mckinley the labor vote
of the country.
THOUSANDS OUT OF EMPLOY
MENT.
Within the last four days ore great
manufacturing plant in Chicago has
closed its doors indefinitely, throwing
900 skilled mechanics cut of employ
ment. a portion of another plant has
suspended work, rendering 500 men
idle, While in a third 5000 men have
been laid off and the wages Of the
remainder reduced from Is to 40 per
cent.
Nine hundred men are made idle by
the closing Of the Siemens & Halske
electric plant in Grant, a Chicago su-
burb.
The men who have been thrown cut
of employment say that the condition
has been forced through the sale of
the works to the General Electric COM
rany. Officials assign the closing of
the factory to several causes. principal
among which is labor difficulties. They
say they cannot pay reasonable wages
and compete with eastern factocies.
The plant was chartered in 1885 with
81, 800, 600 COMMON and SOC. 600 preferred
stock. Willard T. Black, the secretary
nd treasurer Of the company, said:

THE government OF the United State
is disposed to regard this measure as a
proof of the desire of the imperial Chi
nese government to satisfy the reason
able demands of the foreign powers for
the injury and outrage which their le-
cations and their nations have suffered
at the hands of evil disposed persons in
China, although it has been thought
well, in view of the vagueness of the
edict in regard to the punishment
which some of the inculpated persons
are to receive, to signify to the Chinese
minister the presidents view that II
would be most regrettable if Prince
Tuan, who appears from the c~oncurring
testimony of the legations in Pekin, to
have been one of the foremost in the
proceedings complained of, should es-
cape such full measure of exemplary
punishment as the facts warrant, or IL
Kang vi and Chao shu Chiao should
receive other than their just deserts.
CONGER INSTRUCTED.
with a view to forming a judgment
on these points, the United States min
lister in Pekin has been instructed to
report whether the edict completely
names the persons deserving chastise-
ment, whether punishments proposed
accord with the gravity of the crimes
committed, and in what the
United States and the other powers
are to be assured that satisfactory pun
ishment is inflicted.
TT is hoped that Mr.. Congers replies
to these interrogatories will inform the
government of the United States in the
opinion which it now shares with The
imperial German government, that the
edict in question is an important ini-
tial step in the direction of peace and
order in China"
