NOTHING OFFICIAL.
Consensus of London Opinion IL
Suggestive of Compromise.

London. Sept. 6.-No official pro.
nouncement is yet forthcoming here
in regard to the decision of the pow
ers concerning China, but the con-
sensus of opinion continues sug-
gestive of compromise on the pro-
posals now under consideration. In
the meanwhile, there is little authori-
tative indication that the dowager
empress is ready to treat for peace,
even if the allied powers reach an
agreement in regard to the best
means of opening negotiations. On
the contrary, many rumors, gathered
at Shanghai, suggest that she is car
rying on her anti-foreign policy with
increased zeal.
The latest reported imperial de,
cree from Tai Yuan Flu is said to be
defiant and unrepentant, and to con.
tain the statement that the court fed
lest the emperor might be killed dur
ing the fighting between the Boxers
and Christians, and thus leave no one
to continue the Ancestral worship. =
The decree is also said to exhort a
union of the viceroys to "Avenge the
injuries inflicted on China" by the
powers. ~.

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking

1mitators do not advertise their formula

cine it you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less chill tonics are limitations. An ANALYSIS
OF other chill tones shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect You are
not experimenting when you take Groves-its

Patiently Awaiting Further
Developments.
UNOFFICIAL EXCHANGES IN PROGRESS.
rhe Chinese Government, Actina
Trough Ii Hung Chang. Makina
Strenuous Efforts to Secure Fa
vorabIe Consideration for Its Re
cent Peace Overtures.

Washington, Sept. Cur govern
ment has not yet been informed thai
any further responses have beenmadt
by the powers to the Russian note
respecting the withdrawal of troop,
from Pekin. Therefore, the negotia
tons on this point can not be said te
have been marked by any formal ad
vancement, though it is known that
unofficial exchanges are in progress
which doubtless are preparing the
way for formal agreement between
the powers in the near future.
Chinese Efforts for Peace.
Acting through Ii Hung Chang, the
Chinese imperial government is max
ing strenuous efforts to secure ia.
vorable consideration for its peace
overtures. While our government hat
not yet received copy of the i'm.
perial edict referred to in the Shang
hal dispatches, naming Earl Ii and
several other Chinese notable as pie
nipotentiaries to negotiate for a set.
Element with the powers.the state de.
partment is advised, through its
agents, of the existence of such an
edict. This, it is expected, viii be
communicated to the department
when Mr.. WI. the Chinese minister.
returns to Washington.
Neither Has Special Powers.
1t is ascertained that neither Mr..
Rockhill, Mr.. Conger nor Gen. Chaffee
have been clothed with any special
powers to meet these or any other
Chinese ENJOYS. 1t is again stated
that Mr.. Rockhill is in China simply
TO observe and report upon conditions
he has no ministerial powers up to
the present. Gen. Chaffee's functions
are purely military, so it is said, and
while, of course he would be fully EN-
powered to grant truce, he in moi
empowered to conduct negotiations
for a final settlement between the
United States and China.
Minister COnger's Authority.
Minister Conger has only his ger
eral powers as a minister resident
Broadly construed, these would serve
to warrant him in receiving and
transmitting any propositions from
the Chinese authorities, but he could
scarcely go further than this. The
conclusion is that no United States
official in China. civil or military, can
at present conduct negotiations for a
final settlement with the Chinese gov.
eminent, and special powers must be
conveyed by the state department
probably to one of the three persons
named when it comes to the final
reckoning.
No Disposition to Complain.
There is no disposition here to com
plain of dilatoriness on the part OF
the powers in disposing of the Rus.
sian suggestion respecting withdraw
al. 1t is felt that any delay which
ensues in the execution of the Rus
sian threat to withdraw actually
makes for peace, for each days de-
velopments point to the restoration to
authority in Pekin of some ghost OF
government which may become
tangible enough to deal with the pow
ers.
There is no word to-day from Mr.
Conger or from Gen. Chaffee.

The criminal grand jury for the
April term of the United States Court
has been summoned. The jurors are
all here, and will sit this morning. 1t
is understood that the list OF present.
ments is not large, and embraces but
one or two local cases. The offenses
to be investigated by the jury consist
of postoffice cases and counterfeiting
cases. The grand jury will probably
conclude its work in one day.
Judge Jackson held very short SEES
sion of the court yesterday. The
docket was called and a number OF
cases were set for trial
Gen. Alfred Caldwell appeared for
Thomas Gately, the Benwood man who
was indicted for interfering with a
United States marshal when in the
discharge Of his duty. This is one Of
the cases growing out of the disturb
ances during the street railway strike
Gen. Caldwell moved to quash the in
dictment upon technical grounds, and
the motion was granted. The case is
not finally disposed of yet. however,
but will probably be looked into to-day
by the grand jury.

The difficulty between the manage
ment and the crews of the tin depart
ment of the Whitaker iron works,
causing the entire plant to be closed
down Monday night about nine o'clock,
was adjusted satisfactorily to all par
ties concerned. Over three hundred
tin workers were thrown idle through
the closing down the plant, and the
fact that an amicable settlement has
been reached will be learned with
pleasure by all who are interested in
industrial matters.
In an interview last evening with
Walter Larkin, vice president of this
district of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers,
it was learned that the management
and the employees of the plant had con-
ferred with reference to the division
of the work between the crews OF tn
two upper and lower mills, and as a
result settlement agreeable TO both
sides had been effected. Mr. Larkin
also stated that there was really no
strike but rather q misunderstanding,
which led to the order for the gas to
be turned off in the entire plant Mon
day night {
1t is reported that work will be re-
sumed at the mill some time during
the day.

At Bellaire to-day the Sixteenth dis
trict Republican Congressional con-
vention will convene at the Opera
House. This district is composed of
Monroe, Harrison, Jefferson, Carroll
and Belmont counties. ]. J. Gill will
be renominated for Congress, and the
only fight will be on national delegates.
Belmont furnishes two candidates for
this honor, Heinlein, of Bridgeport,
and Bradfield, OF GAINESVILLE. AS two
are to be elected, Belmont can have
only one. /. H. Blythe, of Carroll
county, is a candidate, and stands a
good show.
One hundred and ninety delegates
represent the district, and it requires
ninety-six for choice. 1t is said Mon
rose county would like a delegate, out
Harrison is not asking for anything.
Among the prominent persons who
were in the delegations were Hon. G.
]. Howard, Hon. J. c. Heinlein, Hon.
James Blackburn and Hon. d. A.
Rutan. The latter will be remember
ed as one of the insurgents in the cleo
ton of Mark Hanna to the Senate.
Mark was elected and pronounced the
political eulogy over Rutan, but this
genial gentleman and shrewd polite
ian is still very lively and is at the
head of Carroll county delegation. At
late hour last night the delegations
were trying hard to make all hormon-
ious, and the leaders were closeted to
late hour this morning, but all could
not be fixed up.

THE HUBBARD ROAD.
A Merited Criticism of Members of

Merited Criticism of Members of
the Eonrd.
To the Editor Of the Register
Sir:-In one of our city papers Com
missioners McGregor and Fritz are
reported as being strong in their OPP
position to any outlay by the county
on the Hubbard road, because this road
was partly within the city limits.
What a pretty pair of Commissioners
we have in McGregor and Fritz. They
go on year after year making large
appointments of county money col
lected from city taxpayers for the
roads outside of the city, and when II
comes to a paltry little sum for the
Improvement Of the Hubbard road,
these worthy Commissioners from city
districts object. No one knows better
than Messrs. McGregor and Fritz that
the city districts cannot lawfully be
made to pay for keeping up this county
road; and hence, instead Of a district
road tax, we have it in the shape of
yearly appropriation. Verify. the
Board OF County Commissioners needs
an oyerhauling and needs IL badly.
