IN A HURRY FOR PEACE.

Washington. Oct. 19-Secretary Hay is in receipt of a request from the Chinese government that negotiations begin tomorrow at Pekin.
 It is stated at the state department that COnger's instructions are sufficient to enable him to proceed without fur ther orders. The Chinese counter pro- posals received yesterday do not satis- fly this government. The Chinese eX- press regret, admit a liability for in demnity and express a willingness to yield anything in the way of treaties in consideration of the withdrawal of troops and an armistice.
 It is believed that our objections are based on a lack of guarantees. The genuineness of the edict ordering the punishment of TUan and others is still clouded in doubt.

TO HIS DISADVANTAGE
By One Of the Defenders of the Gov ernment's Strong Box-He Hoped to See the Time When Colored Man Would Have No Standing in Witness Box in the Territory of Arizona.

Tucson. Ariz.. Oct. 19-CSpsciaI)- There was a meeting in Tucson last night of the republican coIored club which was well attended by members and others who went to listen to the speeches. President Ayers made an address which struck a chord of ap- proval in the breast of each member.
 He said: My friends. I heard a col ored man say he was going to vote for Mark Smith. Now I wanu 70 tell you why that man should change his de- cision, and why each on of you should oppose the democratic candidate for congress. l was a member of the gov ernment escort when Paymaster W'lam was held up some years ago in Ari- zona. l attended the trial of the men who held up the paymaster and l re- member a remark which Mark Smith. who defended the robbers, made at the trial. Referring to the evidence given by brave Hal Kennedy a sergeant, who fought to tn last, Mark Smith made the remark that he would not believe colored man, and hoped the tim would come when a colored witness would not be allowed on the stand in an Ari- Zona court"
 The address of President Ayers brought to mind this remark, which those who attended the famous trial remember well. II is not likely that the colored residents of Arizona will vote for Mark Smith this fall, now that his democratic dislike of the colOred man has so forcibly been brought to

CAMPAIGN IN BR0NX
Republicans Working Hard to Re-
 peat Their 1896 Victory.

New York, Oct. 19-Never before have republicans in The Bronx district made such a determined campaign as at present. They are fighting hard be- cause they believe they stand an excel lent chance to win. They have been perfectly organized by two able lead CTS. Edward H. Healy and William H. Ten Eyck; they have nrst class local candidates to work for. while their Tdmmany foes are fighting bitterly among themselves. and finally. the re- publicans have as an incentive the memory of an overwhelming majority they rolled up four years ago.
 The Bronx republicans have been steadily working the campaign up to fever heat. In the Thirty-ffth as sembly district they have organized seventeen Mckinley and Roosevelt clubs. Each one of these. clubs covers three or four election districts, and, in some cases. only one election district, where the territory is large. These clubs have regularly established head quarters. which are open day and night, and where enthusiastic meetings are frequently held. They are also the centers for the distribution of large quantities of campaign literature.
 In addition to the small meetings at the clubs. nineteen large mass meet ings have been arranged to be held, between now and election dpay, and also seven flag raisings. which will be in the nature of rOusing rallies. Six flags have been raised already.
