ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS.
France Alone In Full Accord With the
Plans OF Russia.

Plans of Russia.
Washington Sept. s.-The attitude
of the powers anent Russia's PROPOSE
tion to evacuate Pekin is now evident.
The French government is favorable to
the position taken by Russia. Ger
many regards the conditions at PelSin
such as to require the continued pres
ence of the German forces there. Ger
many's attitude, it is generally ac-
copied, will be concurred in by Italy
and Austria, as these two countries
act with Germany on all political ques-
tions of this nature. England is still
silent but little doubt is entertained
that Great Britain will favor remain
ing at PelSin. The position of Japan
is still indefinite but it is believed that
Japan will not retire from Pellin unless
all the other powers take that course.
Russia has not changed its proposal
to leave the capital of China, neither
have her ambassador or her troops been
ordered to leave there.
So the military situation at Pekin
remains unchanged General Chaffee's
dispatches make it clear that he is pro-
ceeding on the understanding that the
American troops are to winterin China
and he speaks of the comfortable ar
rangements that have been made for
the soldiers

A Washington special to the Denver
Republican. now the personal organ OF
Senator Wolco,t, states that the senator
has recommended to the president the
appointment Of James l., Moorhe-d to
be postmaster at Boulder.
This was expected Notwithstanding
nearly every member OF the Republican
county central committee had endorsed
the application of Crockett Ricketts,
editor OF the Boulder News.
Major Moorhead was deputy to Post
masters Bixby and Safely. has been clerk
and recorder of Boulder county and was
IN each capacity an obliging and capable
official. He was an original Wolcott
man. when that gentleman was first
elected senator. He is 4 stalwart Re-
publican. There were other candidates
including Alderman T. v. Wilson and
Dr.. l. L. Bond. but it has been deemed
probable among the we'll informed that
Moorhead would secure the senatorial
endorsement and. therefore. the:plum.
Mr. Ricketts, was endorsed by the
Grand Army element of the party and
had heavy following among all classes.
That there is no little feeling in G. O. P.
circlesis apparent whenever one meets
an old soldier. Mr. Ricketts, devotion to
the party has been persistent and many
held that be was more entitled to it than
Major Moorhead. Mr. Coates term ex
pired last month and announcement Of
appointment of his successor may be ex
pected shortly. The rule Of the admin.
isration is to not ask Mr. Wolcott for an
expression of his preference until the ap
pointment is about ready to be made.

Tho Jtntown Suicide Wasn't the One
II Wanted at MacksburE.
The following telegram to the Rocky
Mountain News will be read with inter.
est here:
Marietts, o, March I4-The big oil
center Of Macksburg, ten miles from this
city, IS excited over ghastly mistake.
Some days ago word was received by
relatives that Charles Schilling had died
at Boulder, Colo. The family ordered
the body sent here and body arrived
yesterday.
On opening the coffin the body OF
man over 50 years old was found, while
Charles Schilling's age is but 20 years.
The mistake could not be accounted tor.
The letter accompanying the body stated
that the body had been found hanging
to tree and been there for prof. ably two
weeks. II is thought that the man was
lynched as the marks of the rope were
visible.
The body had been inferred for ten
days before shipping. The mistake is
still unsccounted for and the real Charles
A. Schilliug of Macksburg has been
heard from. stating that he is we'll. The
body shipped rere was inferred without
ceremony.
Charles Schilling, miner, committed
suicide at Jamestown, Boulder county,
February % last and his body was
brought to Boulder the next day by Cor.
oner Trezse The man had burned all
his papers and there was absolutely no
information at hand as to his family or
friends. He was inferred in jamestown
cemetery and some days later the cor.
oner received telegram from a man in
the southern part Of the state saying that
Sch,lllns' 5 mother, Mrs ]. d. Coffee. liv.
ed in Macksburg. O.. The coroner at
once wired the lady stating that he had
buried Charles Schilling's rem aims here,
but would ship them to her on deposit of
$50 with Wells Fargo. This was done
aud Mrs Coffee wired asking that the re
mains be sent to her. The rer,ains were
exhumed by JAMESTOWN Odd Fellows
and shipped by Trezie as directed.
jamestown people knew nothing of
the mans antecedents or relatives, but
the coroner was very deliberate and at
great pains set about to locate friends
Someone told him of this man in south
ern Colorado and reporters we're shown
a telegram from him telling about Mrs
Coffee. as we'll as her telegram. asking
that the body be sent. OF course it can
make no difference TO Mrs Coffee wheth-
er the body actually shipped was the
body Of the Jimtown suicide or the late
Indian Jack, as her long lost son re-
ports himself alive and kicking, but !,
appears that the lady IS no centennarian
and she was shocked, as was that CON-
munity. by having sixty year old face
palmed of upon her as the face of her
long lost Charley.
