FRANCE WITH RUSSIA
Formally Agrees to Withdraw Her
Troops From Pekin.
THIS WILL LEAVE GERMANY ALONE
Japan and the United States Ex-
pected to Withdraw, Too.
ITALY NEGOTIATING PEACE

LONDON, September 11.-France has
formally adhered to the Russian proposal to
withdraw from Pekin to Tien Tsin. A rep
resentative of the Associated Press learns
on unquestionable authority that tele-
graphic instructions were sent yesterday
from Paris and st. Petersburg to M
Pichon and M. de Giers. respectively the
ministers Of France and Russia at Pekin
directing both ministers, In conjunction
with Generals Fry and Linowitz, to take
measures to withdraw the legations and
military contingents of both countries to
Tien Tsin as soon as circumstances will
permit.
Diplomatic circles in London are inclined
to believe that this step will lead to similar
action upon the part of the United States
and Japan, and that while Germany may
hold out till Field Marshal Count Won Wal
dersee arrives in China, she will ultimately
acquiesce, leaving Great Britain little choice
but to follow suit.
Italy VIII Treat for Peace.

Italian cabinet has decided to initiate i'm
mediately peace negotiations with China
Italy will formulate demands for an indem-
nifty, and If they accepted Italian in
tervention will be considered terminated

The officials of the Chinese legation de-
cline to make public the text of the imperial
decree commanding the opening of peace
negotiations, but say the document ap-
points Prince Ching. head of the tsung II

been suggested that Liu-KunY, the vice.
10Y Of Nankin, and Chang- -chi-tung the
viceroy Of Hankow would also be appoint

Considerable Importance Is attached to
the announcement from Taku that the ex-
pedtior to Pao-ting-fu Will leave on Fri
Gay. 1t is thought strange that no German
troops are mentioned as participating in
the expedition. Apart from the belief that
the Chinese emperors latest edfcts emanat-
ed from Pao-ting-fu 1t is said that Gen

hourly disclose more heartrendng fea-
lures and confirm early rumurs Of one of
the greatest catastrophies Of late years
Wire communication is yet impossible with
Galveston and the only definite news so

There seems to be ground for the hope
that fuller details would show a reduction
in the number of lives lost. and conserva-

told The property loss is perhaps even
higher than at first given.
In Galveston the dead being gathered
up as rapidly as possible, taken to sta on
barges ana there consigned to their last
resting place This action is necessary to
protect the survivors from pestilelics, and
because the ground is too wet to permit Of
digging graves
Ghouls have begun their work. and bodies
are being stripped Of their valuabes.
Relief trains are hurrying forward with
supplies as rapidly possible.
Outside Galveston smaller towns are be-
ginning to send in reports as telegraphc

are received. Richmond and Hitchcock

LINCOLN PARK FRUIT.
Big Crop Of Apples, Peaches, Grapes
And All Small Fruits VIII Be
Harvested This Year.

In looking over the fruit orchards
Of Lincoln Park, one is surprised as
well as pleased to find them in such
fine condition. The prospects for a
large fruit crop were never better at
any time. About the only apple that
was injured any by the late freeze,
was the Ben Davis, and, in most or
chards, more than half crop of this
apple is assured.
Strawberries are coming through
in fine shape, and in course Of another
week there will be plenty of home
berries on the market, and the finest,
sweetest berry raised in Colorado,
too.
Grapes are in good condition and
the crop will probably bs as large as
any ever raised. The peach trees
that were covered are in good condi-
tion, but those that were not taken
down will not bear any this year.
l. F. Davis, who owns three acres,
is in high spirits over the outlook and
says he will have bigger crop this
year than ever. He has one acre of
grapes that will surly bring a good
sum when marketed. e
A. j. Gardner has FIVE acres and
some Of the finest peach trees on the
Park. His crop has already been es-
timated by several conservative fruit
growers. They think each tree will
bear from $3.50 to $500 worth of
peaches. Mr.. Gardner has one hundred
Of these trees. He also has good
apple orchard, besides Strawberries
and raspbsrries.
H. T.. Cramer, who has two. and one
half acres, is very proud of his place,
and takes great pride in keeping it in
the best shape possible, and his apple
crop this year viii excel, in quality
and quantity, any previous crop.
L. P. Jordan, W. ]. Freeman, W.
H. Jones, Stephen Refs, Stultz &
Rogers and J. K. Humphrey were all
interviewed and expressed satisfaction
at the outlook for good crop. Il
Stultz & Rogers have fi1h acres
leased with most all kinds of fruit,
but one Of the principal things they
are raising, is crop of peanuts,
which, they think, will bring them
quite sum of money. Mr.. Stultz
has had considerable experience in
raising peanuts in Missouri, and says
he thinks good crop can be raised
here.
Considerable building is going on;
people are fixing up their homes,
building barnes, enlarging their
houses, cleaning up their lawns and
burning all the old, dry bush around
the orchards. The Park is gro wing
rapidly and in two more years will be
very important point on the map
of Fremont county.
