north of China, probably at Taku, 20
demand access to Pekin.
1t is stated at the war department
that preparations are being made FOR
wintering 5000 U. S. troops in emma.
The report that Gen. Chaffee was ar
ranging to winter $4,000 troops prob
ably originated before the general was
informed that the troops on the way to
China had been diverted at NagasakI
to Manila The arrangements are
made in order to guard against a fail
ure of peace negotiations. Germany is
on the verge of declaring war against
China. This has been made manifest
to the Washington authorities by the
hostile stand of the Berlin govern
ment against accepting Ii Hung Chang
as the emissary of China in future ne
notiations to re-establish peace.
A curious and even extraordinary
phase of the situation is the am1ab1l-
ity of Russia and Japan in the present
crisis. If both these powers have not
conformed strictly to the line OF con-
duct laid down by the United States
they have at least exhibited a willing
ness to consult Washington and listen
to the advice of the administration.
Nobody pretends to know when dec
laration of war will come, if it will
come at all. The present object OF the
Washington government seems to be
to prepare for every emergency.
The policy that is to be pursued in
the event of declaration was carefully
mapped out by the cabinet. 1t was
stated in the following terse manner:
eve will waive none OF our rights
and insist upon the carrying out OF
every agreement that has been made
heretofore. We will simply permit the
question of indemnity for what has
happened to go over until time when
our claims can be successfully
pressed"

New York, Aug. 30.-John L. Sulli-

Twentieth Century club, Madison
Square Garden, last night. The sum
realized from the sale of tickets and
subscriptions will be a large one and
will be held in trust by a committee
that will invest the money and pay the
interest to Sullivan. There were three

ton to exhibition bouts ON the long

Golf spared three rounds cleverly.
Tom Sharkey went the same distance

rounds they went at a nice pace but in
the third round began to bang at each
other in burlesQue, each going down
frequently. At the close of the round
both fell to the floor. Referee White
counted both out when they got up and
shook hands. John l.. Sullivan and

LIBRARY PEOPLE MEET.
State Association Now in Session in
Madison.

The Wisconsin State Library asso-
citation is in session here with about
40 members present. The work of the
association thus far at this session has
been identified with the library sum-
mer school, which closes today. To-
morrow's session will be held at the
ThWaite's summer cottage at TurvilFs
point across Lake MonOna, at which an
attendance of 80 or more is expected.
Owing to the fact that the historical
library is being moved the new library
building will not be open for inspec-
ton. Fifteen different kinds of me-
chanics are at work, oiling the floors
and otherwise employed, and it will be
impossible to admit the public for
month. Tomorrow Henry j. Carr OF
Scranton, Penn, r. G. Thwaltes' sue
cessor as president of the National Lii
brary association, will be here. 1t is
possible that the annual meeting of
the National Library association next
summer will be held in Madison. The
only thing to prevent it will be the
fear of inadequate hotel accommoda-
lions. The meeting would bring 600
or 700 delegates here for four or five
days.
