Chinese escort and have emphasized their
determination to hold out until the allies
arrive.
The Chinese Government is believed to be
sincere in its professions of intentions to
furnish the Ministers with an adequate
force to conduct them out of the city, but
the Ministers evidently have good reason to
believe that the Imperial authorities will
not be able to hold the escort to it's duty
If the foreigners In leaving Pekin were as
saulted by mob.
Whether from fear Of the effect on Its
own people or from reasons of pride, the
Chinese Government is strongly opposed to
the entrance of foreign troops into the cap
ital. But decision must be made quickly.
The allies are approaching Pekin and the
Powers decline to stop their advance until
arrangements for the rescue of the foreign
ers satisfactory to the Ministers are made.
General Chaffee has by this time prob
ably received the suggestion of this Gov
crnment that the flag of truce plan be pro-
posed to the Chinese authorities This plan
contemplates the entrance into Pekin under
Il flag of truce of part of the allied force
composed of representatives of every ma
tionaity in the main command, the rescue
party to bear arms. Protected by the white
flag. the international contingent Is to
march into Pekin ard to Legation street,
where the Ministers. missionaries, women,
children. all other foreigners and 600 native
Christians are to be formed into line and
escorted to the gate by their rescuers.
When this has been accomplished the Gov
ernments will listen to terms of peace from
Ii Hung Chang. The failure to comply with
the demands of the Powers in this respect
uill unquestionaby bring official and tech
Eical war.
FORCE THAT IS NEEDED.
St Petersburg, Aug. 13.-M. de Giers, the
Russian Minister in Pekin, reports In ci-
pher. under date of August 4, as follows:
1.-The Chinese Government recently ap-
piled to us and to all the foreign repre-
sentatives in order to arrange the date and
conditions of our Journey to Tien-Tsin. At
the same time the Tsung Ii Yamen in
formed us that the foreign Governments
had not only once demanded from the Chi
nese Ministers abroad our departure from
Pekin under escort.
I'VE replied that we required instructions
from our Governments, without which we
could not leave our posts.
Il consider It my duty to point out. as
Indispensable to our journey, that the allied
forces sent as an escort should be of suffi-
cient force to protect 500 Europeans, includ-
ing 900 women and children and fifty wound
cd. 1t appears that the journey to Tien-
Tsin at the present season of the year is
dangerous, owing to lack of means of COM
municaton.
"All my colleagues here sending sim
liar kilograms to their Governments. Please
inform. The families of the imperial mis-
sion and the Russian colony are we'll.

HALLOWEEN WAS OBSERVED
The Young People Did Not Let 1t Go by
Default.

Halloween was observed last night
in the same old way. Numerous
pranks were played, and general dis
order prevailed on the streets this
morning. Scores of young people were
out, participating in the merry-mak-
ng, and gates were unhinged, culvert
covers pulled up, and carriages run off.
A hay rack was found at the corner of
Front and Washington streets this
morning. A lot of wood in the hay
market was tipped over. Steps were
taken off of houses, loose articles took
wings, and in one or two places wire
was stretched across the sidewalk to
stop or trip the unwary. Not much
damage was done.
The day police were on duty until
midnight, assisting the night force,
but no arrests were made. 1t wa OF
easy to catch the youngsters, as part of
the crowd would be on the lookout for
the blue coats while the remainder
were executing some tnischeivious de-
sign.
Several social gatherings were held.

Let it not be forgotten that when
decorating the saloon Louis Quinze at
the Hoffman house, New York, where
Bryan sat down to a dinner given by
Croker, that Bryan's picture was
draped with the American and Filipino
flags. The Filipino flag was after
wards removed but not until it had
told it's story, and the fact will be
cabled to the insurgents fighting
against the flag. While Bryan was
under the benediction of his own por-
trait eating dinner that cost 5000. 90,
not counting the wine bill, Roosevelt
in Columbus, Ohio, was speaking from
q platform adorned with picture of
the gallant Lawton who lost his life
at the hands of those who were float
ing the flag that had been draped
about Bryan's picture. It will not be
hard for the people to choose between
the two.

A vote for Gov. Lind is an approval
of the mismanagement of the Irvine
plant. Do the voters of Blue Earth
county wish to approve such mis-
management? Take the matter of raw
material for the manufacturing of
binding Irvine. Upwards of 1000, 900
pounds of fibre was purchased at the
time when the price for the same
was at the highest point. According
to Warden Reeve, the price was 1-3
cents per pound. Auditor Dunn says
that the warden informed him that on
August LIST last there was on hand of
this raw material, 1, 175, $50 pounds,
and 1877, 675 pounds of the manufac-
tured. This was all obtained at the
highest market price and must be
carried over until next season when
conditions will be different. Auditor
Dunn further says that in the market
reports of the Cordage Trade Journal
for Sept. 9th last the price of sisal is
from 53a to OF cents per pound, and
the tendency of the market was down
ward. Is that the kind of business
judgment the voters propose to en-
dorse next Tuesday? That is the kind
you will endorse if you vote for Gov.
Lind.

Walter Wel1man says that Grover
Cleveland has registered, and that he
will go to the polls on Tuesday next
and vote. Mr.. Wellman further says
that while Mr. Cleveland has not SO
stated, nor has he authorized his
friends to say how he will vote, yet a
few of his friends know and they in
innate it viii be for Mckinley. Well
man says that did Mr.. Cleveland re-
gard Bryan's election as imminent the
would not hesitate to come out in a
most positive and sweeping way
against him. But he regards Bryan's
defeat as certain, therefore he feels
that the proprieties of his position are
such that he should not engage in
political discr ssion at this time. But
if he regarded danger as imminent he
would not hesitate SO to do. His de-
sire is that Organism be defeated and
Democracy reorganized on sound lines
and devoid the vagaries of Organism
and Populism.

That the Democrats are preparing to
steal New York, as they did in 'S4 is
ap parent from Boss Croker's advice to
Bryan strikers to stay at the polls on
the night of election, count noses, and
if the judges do not return the count
in accordance with their tally, throw
them out. Chairman Jones sustains
and endorses Cookers incendiary ad-
vice. But this is the natural result to
be expected from a party that is satur-
ated through and through with anarch-
istic declarations such as "Eaul
down the American flag Chang all
of those who are guilty of carrying on
the war in the Philippines, "Down
with every industry that is controlled
by combination of capital, and
such like utterances.

Tams Bixby has made an estimate
as to what he thinks, from ali that he
has gathered from all portions of the
state, Capt. Van SAINTS plurality will
be on next Tuesday. Bixby is pretty
careful and conservative estimator and
his figures are based on the best in
formation possible to attain. He
places Van SAINTS plurality over Lind
at 12, 500. In this estimate he places
Van SAINTS plurality in the second
district at 8, 100. He puts Hennepin
county down for 2, 200 in the Winona
mans favor. If the Republican vote
is gotten out at the polls next Tues
day, there is no doubt but that Mr..
Bixby's estimate will be more than
verified. The work of every Republi-
can committeeman from now until
next Tuesday night should be bent to-
ward getting out every Republican
vote.

WANTS A CHANGE.
Petition Heard For New Administrator
For Mrs. CrOsby's Estate.

The hearing on the petition of
Ophelia NJ Foster, half sister of the
late Mrs. Marietta Crosby, for the re-
moval of Mrs. Lillian E. Deemer as
administrative of Mrs. Crosby's estate
was had before Judge Hughes today.
The ground for asking the removal is
the alleged refusal of Mrs. Deemer to
list the household goods and her re-
moval of them and large amounts of
other valuable property to Iowa, and
the fact that she resides at Des Moines,
Iowa, so far away that it is alleged
that she cannot proftably or economi-
cally sell the real estate. The petition
also cites those interested to show
cause why W. A. Funk should not be
appointed administrator
W. N. Plymat appeared for the Pc
titioner and A. E. Clark for the ad-
ministratrix. Mrs. Deemer was pres
ent. Considerable evidence was in
