WORKING on THE FIssURE.
Work on the Cracked Conduit Is
Still i'm Progress.


Work has not yet been completed on the
conduit at the water works. The break
is still being exposed. workmen uncovering
IL toward one end while others close ii up
with cement and brick at the other. The
conduit has been pumped dry, the fire en-
CINE having finished its work. II is ex-
pected that some days will be needed 10
finish up the work.
Not the slightest inconvenience to con-
sumers has resulted from the break and
the efforts being made TO repair it, The
pressure has been equally as strong and
no complaints have been registered be-
cause of the failure of water to reach the
top stories of buildings. The old water
works engines have been in use since the
work on the assure in the conduit began.
Though their operation is more expensive
than that of the engines at the new water
works, the result is equally as good.

PARKERSBURG. ". Va, Nov. 2.-Now
that the campaign is practically over and
with less than a week to elapse before the
election it may be stated in the most posi-
tive terms that nothing except Republic
can fraud can prevent this State from Civ
ing lis electoral vote 10 Bryan or from
eIecting the Democratic State ticket next
Tuesday.
To those who remember that the State
gave Republican plurality of II ,487 four
years ago this may sound like an idle
boast. But careful study of the vote in
the State for several years past viii show
that the Republican majority of 1896 was
for the most part, if not entirely, fctf-
tious, and that while it served its purpose
then and elected the Republican candi-
date, ii is not to be reckoned this year as
something the Democrats have to rver-
come before they can elect their candi-
dates.
When the votes were counted four years
ago the Democrats claimed that there

TEE COMMITTEE TO DECIDE.


The Question of q Ball Or Reception
for the Centennial Celebration.
At the meeting this afternoon OF the
Centennial Citizens Committee. of which
Commissioner MacfarIand is Chairman, the
question whether grand colonial ball shall
be given in honor of the occasion or a
plain reception, will be discussed and de-
cided- At one Of the recent committee
meetings the idea of erecting Suitable
building on the power-house lot or along
side the Lafayette Square Opera House
was discussed. Architects who had been
consulted in the matter thought the time
limit was too short within which a pre-
sentabie structure could be erected. Among
the various places which are being consid-
cred for the bali are the Arlington Hotel,
Chase's Grand Opera House, Pension OF
fee, ana the National Guard Armery-

Committee on Medals and Badges, reports

had been frauds committed, but it could
not be proven at the time. But a study OF
the tables giving the vote in the State for
the years 1892, 1886, and 1888 will bear out
the Democratic claim that there were
frauds in 1896 and that without them Me
Kinley would have had but q small ma
jority, If he would have had any at all in
the State 1t was charged that the Re-
publicans had Tesortes TO colonization and
repeating and ballot-box stuffing.
In 1882 the Democratic vote In the
State was 81, 4GT; in 1885 it increased nor
mally to 92,92E: in 1893, an ''off year the
vote fell off TO IS .42f. In 1892 the Repub-
liCan vote was so 293; in 1886 it increased
abnormally to 104 ia: yet in the next "off
year" 1888, the Republican vote fell back
to S6,022. This shows that from 1892,
when the Democratic plurality was Ala,
to 1888, when the Republican plurality
was 2,Uo1, there were Republican gains,
but it does not explain the remarkat lie in
crease in the Republican vote in 1886 and
the decrease two years later.
While with the growth of the State
there was a natural increase in the Re
publican vote, as well as the Democratic
vote, all over the State it viii be seen
from careful study CT the figures that
the greater part OF this remarkable in
crease in the Republican vote in 1895 was
IN a few counties where the Republicans
had the election machinery and could do
about as they pleased.
For example, take the counties OF Kan
awha, Fayette, Mcdowell, Ohio. and Mar
shall five counties under control OF the
Republicans. In kanawha the Democratic
vote in 1892 was 4.549; in 1896 it had in
creased normally to 4,S19; in 1893, the
off year, it decreased 10 4,07S The Re
publican vote in 1892 Was sos; in 1856
it increased to 6939, cid in 1898 it fell of
to 4,425- In Fayette this state of af-
fairs is even more noticeable The Re-
publican vote there in 1892 was 1855; in
1896 it increased to 4,544 and in 1898 it

AMERICAS PLEDGE KEPT
Troops Ordered Sent from China to
the Philippines.

Washington. Sept. 26.-The United
States government yesterday took the
first step towards the redemption of
eminent August % last by cablegram
instructions to General Chaffee to re-
duce the American forces in China
to the proportions of a legation
guard. Nearly month ago the Rus
sian government was told through
NJ. de Wollant, its charge here, that
if the Russian forces and ministry
were withdrawn from Picking, 1--WE
shall give instructions to the COM
mander of the American forces in
China to withdraw our forces from
Picking, after due conference with the
other commanders as to the time and
manner of withdrawal"
That time has now come, and yes
terday's action marks the beginning
of the disappearance Of the American
army from China, for although some
military forces are to remain, it will
not be of the character of an army,
but. under the conditions laid down
in the order to General Chaffee, and
especially under it's official designa-
ton as Legation guard" will be
rather of the nature of n civil guard.
This small force will not be included
in any military operations which may
be conducted by the allied armies and
so viii not fall subject to the direc-
ton of Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee. the commander-in-chi
1t is believed that the / 400 men Sc
lected will be quite sufficient to pro-
tect the American legation against
any force that could be brought
against it. 1t is estimated that about
n week will be required to bring
the $500 soldiers away from Peking,
but as the start cannot be made i'm
1nediately. it will be at least about
the end of the first week IN October
before the movement can be com
pleted.

EMPEROR ASKED TO RETURN.
Notes Sent to Prince Ching by For
eign Ministers

Peking. Sept. Fl. via Taku, Sept. IS.
All the foreign ministers have adj
dressed notes to Prince Ching, sug.
costing the return to Picking of the
emperor and the court. The notes
were informal and not written in a
diplomatic capacity. The writer's do
not consider them binding upon their
respective governments.
The diplomats acted jointly in the
matter. but the letters were sent in
diyidually. These did not contain any
assurances. but merely suggested the
return of the emperor.
Prince Ching undertook to deliver
the notes. The outcome is a matter
of speculation, the doubtful element
being the influence of Prince Tuan
and General Tung Fuh Sang, who
may restrain the court.
General Chatfee, discussing the
probabilities today, said:
II do not believe that any European
monarch would enter the camp of his
allied enemies, and / doubt that the
empress dowager will do so. 1t is
generally conceded that the restor-
alton of the Chinese government is
essential. ] have favored the with
drawal of the main allied force to

Scranton, Pa, Oct. AT every col
liery in the anthracite region no
ticc will be posted Tuesday morning
announcing 10 per cent increase in
wages based on the present scale, eff
fectiye October /, and that the oper-
ators will arbitrate any grievances
their employees may present. There is
no condition TO he attached as to the
men returning to work before the
arbitration shall begin, so it is to be
inferred that the men are privileged
to meet in convention and adopt any
plan of action they may deem advis-
able before entering upon arbitra-
ton.
1t is supposed the miners will come
together as members of the union, fix
the minimum of the concessions they
will be content with and then go forth
us individuals to treat with their en-
ployers through committees of en-
ployes. The arbitrations being con-
cluded satisfactorily, if they will be,
the committees of employees will re-
port back to the convention of United
Mine Workers that they have come TO
settlement and the strike will then
be declared off. This would avoid the
recognition of the union by the oper-
ators and at the same time permit
the union to regulate the terms Of
settlement.
