breezy Gossip ON Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

That General Chaffee was ordered
to remain in command Of the legation
guard which will remain in Pekin, in
stead Of accompanying the other
American troops from China to the
Philippines, is thought by many in
Washington to indicate belief on
the part OF the administration that the
Withdrawal Of our troops from China
is only temporary. Another thing
which strengthens that belief is the
ordering of a number Of warships to
join our squadron in Asiatic waters.
While our minister to China is carry
ing out his orders by arranging for the
opening of peace negotiations with Ii
Hung Chang and other Chinese en-
voys, the administration is arranging
for possible war. While officials will
not discuss the criticisms of this gov
eminent which are daily appearing in
German newspapers known to enjoy
the confidence OF the emperor and
being cabled to our papers, it is easy
to see that they are causing consider
able irritation, which may aid in
bringing about strained relations be-
tween the two governments. 1t Is
claimed at the department OF state
'stAat tAis government has been con-
sistent all the way through in its Chi
nese policy.
Senator Morgan of Alabama has re-
ceived many compliments for referring
in commendatory spirit to the alb
sence Of personal vituperation in the
present presidential campaign. The
reference was made at the close of a
political speech, and the senator said
that he accounted for it by the fact
that the candidates OF both the great
political parties were men whose per-
sonal character and lives were above
reproach. He said Of the campaign:
at is party against party. principle
against principle, and record against
record, and upon these issues will the
people decide the contest"
The cake walk is new thing in pol
itics, having heretofore been almost
entirely monopolized by the colored
people. but it il announced that the
Woman's Bryan Antitrust and Anti
War Club, composed exclusively of
whitss, will hold "a grand free for all
cake walk to rag time music" in
Washington next week, the avowed
object being to attract a crowd to the
meeting.
Japan, China, Italy and Germany
each have one or more representatives
on duty in the census bureau, investi-
eating American methods of handling
and counting census returns, with a
view to their adoption. Director Mer-
riam has been giving these foreigners
every possible facility to familiarize
themselves with the details of our CEN
sus work.
The United States acting consul
general At Frankfort, Germany, has
made an interesting report to the de-
partment Of state on the effect OF the
Chinese trouble on Germany. The
report begins by saying that an official
estimate Of the German capital invest
ed in China places at s71 100000 and
follows with an itemized statement of
what Germany sold in China in 1899.

N. P. WILL NOT JOIN.
No Blind Pool of Rates for Their
Road.

New York, Sept. 25.-That the recent
conference here of western railway presi-
dents was not productive of results so
far as tie restoration and maintenance Of
freight rates is concerned is becoming
quite apparent. Thu absence of a North
ern Pacific representative from the meet
ing was regarded as significant and nei-
Their the Northern Pacific, it is said, nor
the Great Northern, has become a party
to any of the detailed arrangements pro-
posed by the conference. Those arrange
ments were placed in the hands of special
committees and it is believed that some
thing in the nature of traffic pools are
to be formed nj different sections of
western territory. The adhesion Of the
Northern Pacific is considered necessary
for the accomplishment of the desired re-
suit. Az already stated, it has not been
secured and 1t is not likely to be. In
speaking of the results Of the recent

HORSEMEN WANT new LAWS
Owners and Trainers Form Protective
Association.

Chicago. Sept. owners n
trainers in this city have organized what
will in future be known as the owners
and Trainers association. According to
the petition circulated among the horse
men, the purpose of the association is to
form an organization of owners and
trainers and elect officers: these officers
to appoint a committee of five members
who will meet and draw up such reso-
lutions as they may decide will be of
mutual interest and protection of the
new organization, to owners OF race
track properties and to the interest OF
racing in general. A majority of the
committee of five are to appear IN per-
son before all meetings of the turf con-
gress and ask for the adoption of such
resolutions as may be deemed ~eXpedient,
the same to be Incorporated In the an
nual edition of rules published by the
| turf congress-. A meeting of all the men,
hers of the association will be held some
day this week at the race track. 1t is
understood that the horsemen will file a
protest at it's first business before the
turf congress against the recent allot-
ment of racing dates for Chicago. The
horsemen who are most prominent in
the organization Of the new association
explicitly deny that they are organic
ing to injure the turf congress-. They
however, propose after effecting regular
organization to stand together for the
abolition of certain abuse which they
claim now exist and for the passage of
new legislation which they declare the
turf needs.

THE DIARY OF A KING.

The diary of Louis XVI. is preserved
in an iron chest in the French national
archieves. 1t extends from the begin
ming of the year 1776 to the end Of July
1892, ten days before the kings dethrone-
ment and his Incarceration in the tenn
pie, which he never left until he was led
to the scaffold. The entries for the most
part are extremely %laconic, and the ma
jority of them refer to hunting parties.
walks n drives. Often there is only
the word "rien" (nothing), which must
be taken to mean that nothing of polit-
lcal Importance occurred on that day. 1t
merely means that the king did not hunt
nor drive.
Now and then we find a cross marked
opposite a date, which signifies thai his
majesty attended mass. Some of the en-
tries relate to brief journeys. *

sa. Washington, Oct. 25.-In report
this morning to Secretary Long, Ad-
miral O'Neill Of the board of ordnance
states that the account of the explo-
sion atfIndian Head were greatly ex-
aggerated. He says it was a maga-
zine belonging to the proving ground
that exploded and no one was hurt.
: The damage to buildings and ma
terial will reach $4,000. A brick
ma gazine twenty yfive feet square and
a hundred feet long and wooden
house where the shells were filled,
were destroyed by the explosion which
started in the magazine. The origin
is a mystery. In two magazines were
thirty thousand pounds of smokeless
powder, eight thousand pounds of
black powder and an unknown guam
tity of brown powder, fifty six-pound
shells, fifty-fve five-pound shell sand
twenty-five thousand rounds of small
ammunition. The fusilade was tre-
mendous but the effect of the explo-
sion was local owing to the location.

been extracted from the disputed
premises since the establi ishment Of
receiYership is still in charge Of Mr.
Mckenzie. He refuses TO surrender
control OF the precious metal, and will
await more explicit directions from
the court. The policy is in accord
with the advice Of Judge Gearey, the
attorney for the receiver. As Judge
Noyes has been superseded in the pro-
