Knox county Democrats INDUCED In a
celebration of their victory at Thomas
ton, Saturday night last, including a
barbecue. They had what they called a
roasted OK. From reports we Judge the
OK was roasted about as well as the one
Somerset Democrats INDUCED In when
Cleveland was last elected. Some peo-
pie thought Is was smoked and burned,
but, so long as 1t was labeled Demo-
cratic, the faithful ate it and called 1t
good. Knox county was carried for the
Democrats by small margin, the first
Time for decade. 1t may be decade
again before it goes Democratic and the
present victors may never have another
opportunity to celebrate. We are glad
Republicans are not 80 ineffably foolish
as to make such hullabaloo on so slight
apretext.

Col. William J. Bryan has written his
letter accepting the Democratic nomins-
ton for the presidency and it has been
made public. He says If elected he will
not again be candidate for President.
He pledges war upon trusts, defends the
l6 to free silver theory, favors popular
election of U. S. Senators, declares
against inunctions in labor troubles, de.
mands arbitration between capital and
labor in case of disputes, wants a labor
department with cabinet officer, speaks
for liberal pensions, is hostile to foreign
alliances, etc., etc. There is little new in
the letter but in 1t he returns to his first
love and renews his advocacy OF free
silver. This shows that he has not
abandoned the heresy, however he may
have left it 10 allegiance.

Affairs In China.

Settlement of affairs in China does not
come about rapidly. Monday, impor
tant developments were not expected
Immediately at Washington.
The general impression was thai
nothing can be done until the Chinese
themselves have progressed further to
ward the restoration of the government
at Pekin. Meanwhile the military pre-
parations for winter stay in China go
on without cessation; though the Off
Gals are careful to point out that these
are only precautionary measures and
are not to be taken as an indication of a
| final determination on the part of the
government.
Gen. Chaffee's dispatches show de
cided improvement in the cable com
municatious and notice having been
given to the state department that the
new cable from Shanghai to Che Foo,
connecting at that place with the Taku
cable, that has just been completed, it
is hoped that 1t soon will be possible to
get messages through on the date of the
dispatch.
The suggested removal of the chinese
capital from Pekin to Shanghai is now
practically abandoned. The main reason
given is the difficulty of communication
between Shanghai and Pekin during the
winter months.
In connection with the prediction by
Sir Robert Hart that there will be
further hostifities In China in November
The Associated Press understands that
the British Government is already con-
sidering the transfer of troops from
South Africa to India in order to make
| it practicable to send more British
troops to China.
The Chinese minister has received a
dispatch from Prince Ching, dated
Pekin, Sept s, stating that he has been
clothed with full authority, together
with Ii Hung hang, to negotiate peace
and requesting Minister WI to ask the
secretary of state to instruct Minister
Conger to open negotiations at once.
American troops numbering 100 dis
persed large force of Chinese troops or
Boxers near Mar Tao on the road from
Tien Tsin to Pekin, recently, with the
aid of troop of Bengal lancers. The
Chinese numbered 2000 and 200 were
left dead in the field, with no American
casualties.
The Germans report an engagement
with heavy force of Boxers west of
Pekin, the 18th. The German loss is
said to have been 20.
The London Daily Graphic asserts that
all the powers have accepted Ii Hung
hang and will probably accept Prince
hing as negotiators. 1t says also that
the powers have agreed to insist that a
central government, satisfactory to the
powers, shall be established in China
and that full retribution shall be exact
ed from the attacks upon the legations.
The foreign office has sent a circular
note to all the powers announcing that
German government considers that an
indispensable preliminary to the begin
ming of peace negotiations with China is
the delivering up of those who were
responsible for the outrages.

Monsignor Sebastian Martinelli, the

authority in spiritual affairs in the
Catholic church in this country, has
come and gone, carrying with him on
his journey to the east the godspeed
of all who had the great pleasure Of

Denver, Colo, May 29.-President
Burt of the Union Pacific forcibly
elected Superintendent Harris from his
private car yesterday at a small siding
near Green River. Wyo. Mr.. Burt has
been over the lines in Wyoming in
company with the western officials ia
miliarizing himself with the great task
the railroad will undertake in the Sher-
man hill cutoff.
Superintendent Harris of the WyO-
ming division was in Mr.. Burt's car
discussing the work in Wyoming, when
he entered into a dispute with the
president. Mr. Burt criticised some ac-
tons authorized by the superintendent,
and the dispute became heated. It is
said Mr. Harris lost his head and made
a pass at Burt, who had the train
stopped and elected the superintendent.
Mr.. Harris was left at a lonely station
with some hours to wait before he
could catch a train.
President Burt wired to Omaha that

When the archbishop had ceased
speaking, those assembled filed past,
bowed and kissed the ring upon his
finger, the symbol Of his spiritual au-
thority. The distinguished churchman
stood upon a dais and by his side
throughout the reception stood Bishop
Seaman. The delegate greeted the peo-
pie with grave dignity and a very en-
gaging smile.
He is not large man, but has that
air Of command and refinement that
would single him out as a man of i'm
portance in any gathering.
Monsignor is Pleased.
M0nsignor MartineIli was deeply
moved by his reception here. He would
not be interviewed on subjects in gen.
eral, giving as his excuse that he did
not care to express himself on import
ant topics in a language which he was
not thoroughly familiar. He said at the
same time, with a twinkle in his eye
that if the reporter would talk to him
in italian he would be pleased to give
him opinions. The visitor was free to

gress being made by his church here
and the warm reception he had re-
ceived.
The Rev. F. Z. Rocker the secretary
to the delegate was not averse to
talking. This gentleman is a thorough
American, Well-infOTmed. broad minded
and scholarly. He comes of a family Of
newspapermen; he was born in Albany,
y. Y, and did some good newspaper
work before entering upon his life
work in the church. He spent six years
in the American college in Rome as a
student and six more as a teacher. He
became a great favorite with the Pope
and has always been a man of infiu-
ence in church affairs.
Policy of the Vatican.
Asked as to the important church
questions coming up in the NPhilip-
pines and Cuba. DR.. Rocker said: 1.-The
policy of the vatican is to let every man
attend 10 his own business. The Phil
ippines, Cuba and Porto Rica have
been placed in charge of Archbishop
Chapelle of New Orleans as extraOr-
binary delegate. We know only what
we see in the paper of the troubles in
those islands.
we have found the church in
f9urlshing condition everywhere we
have gone; fine institutions are spring
ing up in all communities and the peo-
pie are loyal and Jealous. The church
is growing; we lose many good church
people out in these sparsely settled
states, but We are gaining far more
than we lose"
The doctor was charmed with Salt
Lake and the reception he and his su-
perior were given. "The luncheon was
a gem" he said, "the incest thing of
the kind We have experienced. 1t was
perfect and could not have been i'm
proved upon. The delegate expressed
himself to me as being deeply surprised
with the beauty of Salt Lake and the
magnificent showing being made by the
Catholic people of the community.
