Republicans Carry Vermont by
Reduced Majority.
Loss of 20 Per Cent Shown on
Returns Received.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. s.
Election returns were very slow in ar
irving today, and such figures as came
to hand were from very small places
and had little bearing on the general
result The total vote of the places
heard from up to 10 o'clock this morn
ing and not previously reported did not
exceed 1900 The relative decrease in
the Republican vote and increase in the
Democratic figures seemed to be main
tanned in the towns thus reported in
about the same ratio as last nights
figures showed, indicating 20 per cent.
decrease in the Republican vote, and
that large proportion of that loss went
to the Democratic party. The Repub-
licans, of course, carried the state by
an immense margin 1t is likely to fall
at least 10000 under the vote of 1896, but
at the same time it is probably about
5000 ahead of the gubernatorial vote two
years ago.
The vote for governor in 160 towns
and cities out of 246 in the state gives
Stickney (Rep.) 1851, Senter (Dem.) 49,
667 others 1,127.
The same cities and towns in 1896 gave
Grout (Rep-) 40, ,664, Jackson (Dem.) H.
917, all others 1,264. The Republican
plurality is 2ss004; majority over all, 21,-
S9I- The Republican plurality in the
same towns in 1896 was 2S.747, and the
majority over all 27,4S3- The Republi-
can vote on these figures show a loss
of practically 20 per cent. while the
Democratic gain is substantially 13 per
cent. If the same ratio should be main
tanned in the remaining towns the Re
publican majority would be about 29,-

Most OF the cities and larger towns
have so far reported and the outlook
is that the Republican majority will not

q. c. Clemens of Topeka, pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Mr.. Lewelling:
'.The news almost unnerves me. Gov
ernor Lewelling and L were more than
brothers in kinship of soul. Now, that
his kindly spirit has winged its flight
to the great unknown, even his enemies
even observation-disclosures admit that no
man ever held the office of governor
whose heart beat so truly and so daring
ly for the poor. know the pain he suf-
fered when his enemies tried to destroy
him with whispered tales of corruption.
But knew all the time how unSullied
was his record. The night before he
went out of Office Lewelling was at my
which to give 'good-by' to the execu-
tive council at the Throop hotel; and it
was a good while before he could re-
turn the loan. When his enemies tried
to destroy him by turning him down as
chairman of the senate ways and means
committee, I stood by him, without his
knowledge, till told him. Lieutenant
Governor Harvey conceded that appoint
ment to me. 1 straightway gave it to
Lewelling and 1 shall never forget how
the tears came to his kindly eyes when
I told him what had done. The only
mistakes Leweliing ever made in office
were when he disregarded for the time
the promptings of his own noble heart
and listened to Spestiferous politicians.
And it is remarkable that the men who
were responsible for every act of this
character are in the van of the fusionist
ranks today
II do not feel like talking much of
my dead friend. Dead? I can not re-
alize that I am to grip dwellings kind
ly hand no more. l loved him like
brother and 1 believe he loved me.
Il know there is one other man who
loved Lewelling. Eugene Debs will feel
as keenIy as I this sudden loss. The
fusionist, however high, who dares, over
an open grave, continue to malign his
betters in Lewelling, will find in me
relentless and implacable foe.
After all he nobly did for the poor
when in power, saint might envy Lew
elling's chances for favor at heavens
gate with that sublime man who died
for men.
Some other time may speak more
of my dead friend. At present it seems
almost heartless to speak of him at all.
I know how his family loved him
nob1est test of noble manhood. I know
how his daughter, now on a Chicago
paper, will be shocked. It seems impos-
sible that the man took by the hand
but so recently has ceased to be forever.

Will be communicated to the depart
ment when Mr.. Wu. the Chinese min
lister, returns to Washington
1t is ascertained that neither Mr.
Rockhill, Mr.. Conger nor General Chat
fee has been clothed with any special
powers to meet these or any other Chi
nese envoys. 1t is again stated that
Mr. RoclxhiH is in China simply to OBJ
serve and report upon Tconditions-he
has no ministerial powers up to the
present General Chaffee's functions are
purely military, SO it is said, and while
of course he would be fully empowered
to grant a truce, he is not empowered
to conduct negotiations for a final set
tlement between the United States and
China Minister Conger has only his
general powers as minister resident.
Broadly construed these would serve to
warrant him in receiving and transmit
ting any propositions from the Chinese
authorities, but he could scarcely go
farther than this. The conclusion is
that no United States official in China,
civil or military, can at present conduct
negotiations for a final settlement with
the Chinese government, and special
powers must be conveyed by the state
department, probably to one of the
three persons named, when it comes to
the final reckoning.
There is no disposition here to COM
plain of di1atoriness on the part of the
powers in disposing of the Russian sug-
gestion respecting withdrawal. 1t is
felt that any delay which ensues in the
execution of the Russian threat to
withdraw actually makes for peace, for
each days developments point to the
restoration to authority in Pekin of
some ghost of a government which may
become tangible enough to deal with
the powers. There is no word today
from Minister Conger or from General
Chaffee.

CHIH CHIN GOES TO WORK.
London, Sept 5.-The Chinese minister
here, Sir Chih Chin Lo Feng Luh, ad-
mits the correctness in a general sense
of the cable message sent to him
cording to Shanghai dispatches by Lii
Hung Chang, in which the latter is
quoted as saying:
'-Our St. Petersburg minister has per-
suaded Russia to leave Pekin- You are
useless if you can not persuade Eng
land.''
The Chinese minister here also says
he has sent a powerful memorial to
Lord Salisbury urging him to adhere to
the Russian proposal to withdraw the
allied forces from Pekin as he, Sir Chfh
Chin Lo F'eng Luh, believes it will pave
the way to a speedy settlement The
Minister also said the Chinese people
were sick of the war, that the genuine
ness of Ii Hung Changs plenipoten-
tiary powers was undoubted, and that
Lii Hung Chang was working in full
sympathy with the emperor, dowager
empress and privy council, all of whom
favored peace
The minister added that he himself
was still in communication with the
Chinese government, whose authority
remained entire and who were merely
temporarily residing in the province of

CHARLES CONGDON KILLED.
Veteran Santa Fe Employe Run Over
at Perry, Okla

Arkansas City, Sept 5.-A telegram
was received at the Santa Fe yards here
telling of the accidental killing of Con-
ductor Charles Congdon at Perry. Con-
ductor Congdon has lived here a num-
Der of years He was without a family
He was one of the oldest freight con-
ductors on the Oklahoma division and
had a very good record as a railroad
man. The details of the accident as
learned by the men at the yard offices
are about as follows:
Conductor Congdon was coming
north on the regular freight train, No
Is. Coming into Perry, he went over
the train to the engine and when he got
to the depot platform, got off AS his
feet struck the platform he slipped and
fell. He was so near the edge of the
platform that he rolled off directly un-
der the train Both of his legs were
cut of near the body and he was other
wise bruised and mashed. The train at
the time was going only about five miles
per hour The accident occurred at 10.15
a. m and he died at 11:O5.

A new KING.
Leopold of Belgium is Expected
to Abdicate
In Favor of His Nephew Prince
Albert Next Month.

New York, Sept. 5.-A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Brussels,
says:
According to official announcement
Just issued, the marriage of Prince AL
bert and the Duchess Elizabeth of Ba-
varia will take place here in the ancient
church of st. Gudule on October L
Great preparations are being made for
the event for the prince, who spent some
time in the United States is the most
popular member of the royal family.
Even the socialists and labor leaders,
who revile the king, have a good word
to say for Albert, thanks to the intelli-
gent interest which he displays in the
welfare of the masses, and in the aspira-
tions of the working classes.
1t is persistently reported that imme-
diately after the wedding which will be
celebrated with a good deal of pomp,
Leopold will abdicate in favor of Prince
Albert, whose father, the Count of F'lan-
ders. younger brother of the king, is so
deaf as to have decided him to abandon
his own rights to the throne to his only
surviving son.
Leopold knows that his unpopularity
is a source of weakness to the dynasty
and is, moreover, heartily sick of his
crown and anxious to spend the remain
der of his life according to his own de-
sires without duties or responsibilities.
1t is, therefore, probable that the be-
ginning of October will witness not only
the marriage of Prince Albert, but like
wise his accession to the throne, which
would be shared by a princess, who, in
her native land of Bavaria, has already
won the love of the people by the man.

Ben Hale came in from across the

death Of his partner Robert B. Weddall,
which took place at their camp on Big
river, in Flathead county On the 9Th
inst, as result Of cold and exposure.
Hale and Weddall established camp
on Big river last fall. intending to spend
the winter in hunting and trapping. They
came out recently for lie purpose OF
obtaining supplies, and started back to
their camp. on the 9th inst. They ex-
perienced great deal OF hardship on re-
turning, the snow often being up to
their arm pits, and on the last night Of
their trip were. forced to camp in a
patch Of green timber, where they found
great difficulty in Keeping up fire, and
were thoroughly soaked during the night
by the falling snow. Weddall had not
been fe cling well for some time and the
next day gave completely out, when but

explain the presence of Lord Roberts at
Modder River and the apparent prepara-
tons for an advance from that point.
The mention in the dispatch of Lord
Roberts to the war office yesterday Of
Gen. Clements as commanding at Rens-
berg is interpreted to show that Gen.
French with his army has gone to join
Lord Roberts and that considerable
changes in the distribution of troops in
that district have ccurred. The unex-
p aimed strength and activity of the
Beers at Rensberg. where they are re.
ported rather pressing the British than
being pressed by them, is looked upon
with apprehension. There is no confirma-

THE BOER WAR.

Gen. Buffers Last Move Was Not
am Elaborate Feint. :,

London, Feb. II, a, m.--The latest
dispatches from the front. showing the
reasons for Gen. Buffers retirement and
his intention to try again, quite destroy
the confronting and ingenious theory
. that the movement was an elaborate
feint to facilitate the main advance of
Lord Roberts, a theory which found ac-
ceptance largely because of Mr.. Balfour's S
misleading statement to parliament.
These seemingly useless reticences and
prevarications on the part OF the gov
ernment and the war office are begin
ming to be criticised severely.
No worl has yet issued from the war
office regarding Gen. Buffers latest at
tempt, although the correspondents are
allowed to telegraph with fair amount
of freedom, and thus only partial list
Of casualties has been published. The
dating of messages from Frere Camp
may indicate that Gen. Butler has with
drawn all his forces there.
