CONFIRMS TREACHERY
OF CHINESE OFFICIALS

London, Sept 1f.-Dr. Morrison, the
Pekin correspondent of The Times,
wiring Aug 81. confirms the reports
Of the treachery OF the Chinese govern
ment and the issuance Of imperial de-
crees ordering the determination Of
foreigners THE imperial troops" he
says, "mined the British legation and
probably in another day there would
have been a terrible explosion. A SIM
liar mine, made by the Chinese imperial
troops. exploded in the Pei Tang CATH
odral and engulfed 200 native Chris
tians
"The most profound Indignation Is
felt here that Sir Chih Chen Lofengiuh
and WI Ting Fang. whse shameless
lies and transmissions of bogus inn
perinl edicts delayed the departure Of
the relief column until nearly too late,
are still received with honor in London
and Washington"
The Shanhai correspondent Of The
Times, wiring Sept. 3, says:
"The Chinese minister in St. Peters,
burg has telegraphed LII Hung Chang
that the proposal TO evacuate Pekin
presupposes that satisfactory aasur-
ances viii be given Of the return Of the
imperial court TO the capital at once.
A later message urges Earl Ii to en-
deavor earnestly to bring the powers
to agree to evacuation, since. If Russia
is obliged to reconsider her decision. a
loss Of prestige is inevitable. III Hung
Chang has memoralized the throne,
urging the immediate return Of the
court to Pekin."

Iewes. Sept 11.-POlitics in the

as the leaders might wish. The turn
ing down OF Howard Long for the Leg

openly expressed themselves by de-

down TO his failure to pledge himself
to Dr. H. r. Burton. The candidate
named is distinetively a Burton man,
and when that fact becomes generally

tend the state convention, which is be-
ing held there. All sorts of states have
been made and broken since the pri-
mary elections held last week New
Castle county has been counting noses
on just how many of the nominees 1t
wants and the consensus Of opinion
among the politicians is that it will be
satisfied with the governor and the at
torney- general. Sussex wanted the
congressman, and its wishes will likely
be respected by New Castle and Kent
Last night indications seemed to
point to Peter J. Ford, Of Wilmington,
for governor; Peter L. Cooper, Jr., Of
Wilmington, for attorney-general, and
Edward d. Hearne. Of Georgetown, for
Congress. Nobody appears anxious for
the short term Of Congress.
The ant-governorship was not
talked about, and state treasurer and
state auditor were matters left to Kent
and Sussex to decide But there is a
lhot contest for insurance commission
Ter. Zach Of the three counties has one
or more candidates. New Castle sent
down two in Francis D. Baldwin, OF
Mill Greek hundred, and Amos Cole, Of
this city. Both had their knives
lsharpened for Messrs. Walker and
Fowler. Of Sussex, and any man from
Kent that may aspire to the nomina-
ton.

Dover, Sept. 11--12.O5 p. m.-ShortlyI
after II o'clock the delegation from
New Castle county went into caucus.
There was considerable excitement
in the Ford ranks prior to the caucus,
caused by several of the Ford dele
gates being closeted with the opposi-
ton forces. and it was intimated that
several OF the Ford delegates had been
seduced by money or otherwise, and
Detective Bernard ]. McVey seemed to
be the active agent Of the Cooch-Black
combine in leading Ford delegates into
the opposition camp.
The effect OF this action is apparent
at this time, as the full delegation was
in caucus at 11.3O o'clock.
The action Of the opposition in tam
pering with the Ford delegation
brought some strong expressions from
Peter J. Ford, who remarked that he
would sooner throw the whcle thins
down than attempt to buy or seduco
his opponents delegates.
All three of the caucuses are secret.

NAOhu'h 'ANNiI
II wars and rumors of wars ana
assassinations and massacres had not
filled every spare column in the W
papers lately, general attention would
have been attracted by a remarkable
exodus of the Children Of Israel from
a modern lane OF Egypt for pretty
much the same reasons al those
leading to the momentous exodus I'M
der Moses and in somewhat similar
circumstances. for some of them set
out to travel on foot to the promised
fundamental.
The scope and significance of the
exodus have been yelled by the fact
that the pilgrims have not marched in
n body, but have been coming along
in squads and companies. Some are
already in the United States and Can
ada, a few linger in London, some art
on the way across Europe and the
rest are trying to escape from the
twentieth century Pharaoh-the gov
eminent OF Roumania.
OF course the persecution of the
Jews in several of the European states
LOT years mas STONl more anu more
bitter, but in Roumania the limit OF
their endurance has been reached.
Fol- the last year measures of cruelty
of all kinds have been pushed by a
fierce Anti-SemitiC League with a per-
feet organization throughout the
whole country, of which the chief min
lister of the government and the edi-
tors of the most powerful newspapers
were active members. What money
the Jews had was %eXtorted from them
by grinding taxes, and the possibility
OF their getting more was removed by
a general and complete boycott of the
representatives of this race, both as
s~hopkeepers and employees in factories
and business houses. Many profess
siOns officially were closed to them,
their children were excluded from the
schools, they themselves were sub
jected to assaults and indignities at
the hands of the mobs, disenfranchis-
ed, forbidden to settle outside the
cities. forced to serve in the army
without the possibility of receiving
commissions, and made aliens in the
land of their birth-until at last such
of the victims as could manage it have
turned their backs on everything they
still owned and hurried out of the
country.

Vice Chairman Edmiston, of the pop

charge of the Bryan interests at this
point, continues to give it out that
Bryan will carry Nebraska by 10000
majority. his actions prove that he has
no faith in his own assertions. A pop
uliSt high in the councils of the party,
when asked yesterday about the situa-
ton, replied: "We are not salts. at

The worst feature we have to contend
with is the pronounced apathy of our
