 Devotes Much Space to State Is- sues-Frnnchise Tax Law Favored
 Saratoga, Sept 5.-The Republican state convention was called to order by Chairman Odell of the state committee, who announced the selection of Timothy l.. Woodruff as temporary chairman. The announcement was greeted with cheers which lasted several minutes.
 An enthusiastic Kings county dele gate shouted. "Three cheers for Tim othy l.. Woodruff.' and these were given most heartily.
 Reference to the Republican position on the money question, the independence of Cuba and the Philippine policy was given hearty applause, but the climax came when Mir. Woodruff said. Out ot their bitter experiences the people be- lieve in the rescue of New York city from the clutches of the organization which ex- ists only to barter every public privilege and blackmail every private right" FoI a time the delegates and audience gave noisy approval.
 The declaration that the Republican party purposed to pursue policy which will guarantee that our representatives and people will be protected as recently in China" called forth burst of ap- plause, as did MT. Woodruff's dramatic assertion, 'We will not haul down the American flag"
 As Mir. Woodruff closed a shout burst from every section of the hall, and the applause was continued until the band began to play.
 Lieutenant Governor Woodruff then took up the gavel and first recognized

REPORT FROM CHAFFEE.
Sheds Some Additional Light on the
 Situation In China.

Washington. Sept. 5.-A very inter esting dispatch has been received at the war department from General Chaffee. It described the military situation as cminently satisfactory and would have been of greater value but for the omis- sion common to all of the other official dispatches from China-namely, the date line.
 However. taking into consideration the fact that a cablegram was received by the state department dated five days ago from Mir. Conger. the conclusion was reached that General Chaffee's dispatch also was sent from Peking about Aug. 20 or 30. General Chaffee asks a very important question to the withdrawal of the American troops. The answer to that question, it is said, might have been found ill the state departments answer to the Russian evacuation proposition. But that answer. or rather a synopsis of it, was not cabled to General Chaffee un- til the 30th ult., and it is assumed that. allowing for the same time in transmittal as was consumed by General Chaffee's dispatch received yesterday, the synopsis has just reached him. When the Amer ican answer to the Russian proposal was made public, it was stated here that Gen eral Chaffee had been instructed some time before by telegraph just what course to pursue in the matter of retiring from Peking in the event of the emergency that aftcrward arose. This being so, this application for instructions might be re garded as an indication that he had not received the original instructions when he sent his message.
 It is stated that no order has been sent to General Chaffee to leave Picking as the result of any recent development. In fact. it would seem that the war department is not able to instruct him more specific ally on this point until the decision of the powers relative to general evacuation is known. It was stated at the war depart ment that our position was unchanged. If Russia withdraws her troops, then General Chaffee will do the same. Mean while it is gathered that conditions are still disordered and foreign life and prop erty are still unsafe

Ru.Ein pidn,t Like Hugo.

Did you ever read 'The Hunchback of Notre DameT I believe 1t to be simply the most disgusting book ever written by man, and on the whole to have caused more brutality and evil than any other French writing with which am acquainted. Balzac is sen. sual. but he Is an artist of the highest touch and a philosopher even in his sensuality. Eugene Sue paints virtue as we'll as vice. Dumas Is absurd and useless, but interesting; Beranger blas- phemous. but witty; George Sand im- moral. but elegant. But for pure. dull, virtueless, stupid, deadly poison read Victor Hugo.-Ruskin.
