Morris, MIMI, Sept. 10. = A severe
frost visited this section Sunday night.
A great difference of opinion exists as
to its effect on the late flax. Reports
from some fields are hat the crop is
totally lost. while from others it is
not injured al all. Some even claim
that the well-formed husks contain no
seed to be injured. A week ago it was
estimated that this county a from
100000 to $4,000 at stake in the flax
crop, inc the outlook was unusually
encouraging except from a possible
frost coming too soon.

London, Sept. 1~6.-According to the
Lourenzo Marques correspondent OF
the Daily Telegraph Mr.. Kruger is vir-

the district governor. This is at the
instance of the British consul, who pro.
tested against Mr.. Kruger using Portu-
guese territory as a basis for directing
his executive. The French consul has
forbidden access to Mr.. Kruger, as
have also the latter's own officials.
The district governor has notified Herr

he is of the opinion that hostilities may
drag on for a considerable time as the
Beers, in their desperation, threaten TO
fight to the death. Acting President
Schalkberger arrived here yesterday
to confer with Mr.. Kruger, but he was
not permitted to see him, and he re-
turned Immediately to the Transvaal."
The imperial government, says the
Cape Town correspondent of the a

MESSAGE FROM EARL III.

Promises That Life and Property of
, Americana Will BE Respected.
Washington, Sept. 15.-The crisis that
was near at hand Wednesday over the
evacuation proposal of the Russian
government has been averted for a
time at least, and the diplomatic side
Of the matter has become again the OBJ
ject Of attention. The order to Gen.
Chaffee to leave at once which was ex-
pected in some quarters, did not issue
yesterday. Instead, earnest efforts are
making to arrange the p~reliminaries
for the negotiations which are expected
finally to settle the Chinese troubles.
Ii Hung Changes message yesterday,
giving assurances that henceforth the
life and property of Americans will be
respected in China. removed. perhaps,
the last obstacle to the speedy begin
ming of these negotiations. and the only
doubt that now exists is as to his abil-
ity to redeem his pledge to protect
American interests and stop the out
RACES upon the missionaries and native
converts. If he can do this. and thus
manifest the existence of a de facto
government, there is no reason to
doubt that negotiations will be imme-
diately in order. The notice that Rus
sian troops will not %evacuate Pekin
until some arrangements have been
made for the installation Of a govern
ment to take charge Of affairs. Is d.
rectly in line with the aim of the state
department, and which 1t has been
pursuing in the exchanges with Ii
Hung Chang, and If this Russian de.
cision is adhered to. 1t certainly will
facilitate the ultimate withdrawal of
all the foreign forces in the opinion of
the officials here. An inference from
the Russian statement is that LIS COM
ing to Pekin will be forwarded by Rus
slams in the hope of making the desired
arrangement for the establishment OF
q. Chinese government there. AS Ii
cannot reach the capital from Shang-
hal, starting to-day, inside of a week,
1t may be that there will be develop
ments in the international situation
within that period Of time. Our gov
eminent has not been advised even yet
that all Of the answers to the Russian
note have been returned. 1t is said that
all Of the powers have been heard
from on the subject, but the disposition
'is to regard their communications not
as answers, but rather as argumenta-
tive statements which leave the main
issue, still open for discussion. This
point, however. becomes Of diminished
Importance in view Of the announced
purpose Of the Russian government to
modify the terms Of Its original prop
osition in the indicated.
Earl II Starts North.
Mr.. WI, the Chinese minister. has
received a dispatch from Ii Hung
Chang announcing that he expects to
leave Shanghai to-day for the north.
Similar, information has been received
at the state department from Consul
General Goodnow. Earl Ii should.
reach Tien-tsin in about three and a
half days. At Tien.tsin Ii will for
maily assume the viceroyship Of the
