New YORK the sat,le I, roma

NeW YORK, Nov. J.--Generaliy sneak
lEe the democratic campaign here may
be said To have been brought 10 q clos,.
last Monday when w. D. Bryan, after
ma KING thirty speeches up the state
curing the day, addressed large meet
lais held under the auspices of the He-
sprFW democratic clubs on the east side,
5afterward speaking 10 seven mass
meetings in BROOKLYN and leaving for
tbs weston the midnight train.
Since that the usual per-election
gatherings at which democratic speak
sis Of the state and national promi-
nence have addressed Representative
audiences, but public interest has cen
tered more upon Mr.. Bryan in the west
than upon any democratic gatherings
held in this STATE since he closed his
campaign. On the republican side the
s.Wo men most in the public eye haze
been Governor Roosevelt and Senator
sChauncey NJ Depeis These two leading
republicans have visited nearly all of
the large cites and towns of the state.
The campaign has been conducted with
unusual 5vigcr on both sides and rarely
II ever has mora hard work been done
in this city and state by the leaders of
the republican and democratic parties.
LEADERS on both sides are greatly in
tesestsd IN the possibilities in what is
termed the silent, as we'll as the politi-
cal. alignment of first voters. Esti-
mates concerning the possible action of
stlfe silent or secret voters are value
less. So far as first voters and natural
Esd voters are concerned. it may be said
that tie Increase in registration in this
city this year has been remarkable. The
total registration for the five boroughs
of Greater New York this year amounts
to SaD0fS. as against a7l,129, a gain OF
nearly Io,c9o, as compared with the reg
istt,ation of four years ago. II is this
rev vote and the silent vote that has
puzzled the rspu biican and democratic
leaders. Consolidation in Greater New
York did moi 60 INTO effect until Jan. /,
1898. and Greater New York did not fig
use IN the election of four years ago.
The borough Of Richmond is better
known as. Staten Island. The borough
6cf Manhattan consists of Manhattan
island while the borough of Bronx con-
8sists Of that portion Of the old city Of
New York lying ON the Harlem river
before consolidation.
The betting IS still two to one tina,
4 Mckinley VIII carry the state. While
the Democratic leaders express conf
denee In the result the republican man
ayers are enthusiastic in their claims o.
IAN Overwhelming victory.
Conservative republicans. however
do not claim the state by more thar
1000 tb 5000.

somewhat handicapped for want of
funds. while the republicans. as it was
four years ago, had more money than
they could use. The republicans have
.endeavored to intimidate laboring men
the fierce oppression they brought to
bear in 1886. II is my opinion that in

effort and will spare no effort to re-elect
Mr. Mckinley. 1t is my firm belief,
however, that the vote can not be de-
bauched this year to a sufficient extent
TO throttle the public Will. The whole
country is aroused as it has not been
since the days preceding the civil war.
The existence of the form OF government
EFT blished by the fathers is at stake.
Whether the trusts shall govern the
United States or the country regulate

New York, Sept. 3.-The members of
the cigar manufacturers combine which
locked out its union employees 26 months
ago have surrendered unconditionally, and
it is believed the union will win complete
victory. The strike has involved 10000
persons in this city and has spread to
Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pa; York and
Mcsherrytown, Pa, where 10000 more
workers have been called out in branch
factories operated by members of the
manufacturers combine. 1t has cost the
Cigarmakers' international union nearly
500 900, and the cost to the manufactur-
ers they can not themselves estimate.
The factories have been idle for six months,
and much of the trade lost in that time has
been driven to other firms and to other
cities and can never be regained.

worlds crops, shows that the Hungar-
ian crops have improved since the
statement last June. The grain is
ripening and the yield of wheat is es.
timated at from 4 to per cent less
than in 1899; that Of rye at some %
from Is to l6 per cent less, and that Of
oats from 13 to IA per cent less. The
area sown In winter and summer
wheat is 4.522. 2.779.36O pounds. a de-
crease OF l,S2O,OO0 metersontos (225..

Berlin, Sept. 2.--Thc German press u
full Of articles commenting ON the latest
turn Of the China situation, and il il gen
orally construed as marking the begin
ming Of serious lack Of harmony between
the powers, whose Chinese interests are
colliding at too many points to enable
them 10 maintain united front length
ly. Russias sudden change Of attitude
came here as complete surprise. aimee
the latest previous utterances of Russia
seemed to denote continuance Of the
closest German. Russo relations on the
subject OF China, although it was known
here that the unmeasured Won Walderses
idolatry and the putting by the emperor
OF onns Tor Won Waldersee's appointment
upon the car, as well as the continued
Increase Of the German forces in China
and Emperor Williams impulsive farewell
speeches, had greatly displeased Russian
government circles, including the czar.
\on Waldcrsee has been sent a. the en-
pcrors personal man to China, rather
against the wishes Of Count Won Buelow,
approves Of the "politico diploma general
issimo,' whose hand in China may upset
all Count Won Buelow has been able to do.
Nevertheless the emperor expects that Won
Waldersee, after his arrival in China, will
take his instructions solely from him and
carry out his majestys personal ideas re-
gdrding the Chinese situation. Won Bue-
low repeatedly protested against this ar
rangement, though unavailing. 1t would
be a mistake To believe the emperor there
in has the Endorsement Of the majority of
the nation. In the case Of Won Buel0w,
on the contrary, 1t is otherwise.
| The nation is embittered at his majesr
tvs continued ignoring Of the reichstAg.
An overwhelming part Of the press daily
disapproves Of Emperor Williams China
and jingo nationalistic press.

CHINESE ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
THE POWERS ARE SLOW TO ACT.
Hassim's Proposal SIN Unanswered
-DeiRy seems tO he BencActal-
Chinese Government Can Then Or
xanisc With SOsae Authority.

Washington, sept. 6.-Our government
has not yet been informed that any further
responses have been made by the powers TO
the Russian note respecting the withdraw
al Of troops from Pekin. Therefore the ne
gotiatlons ON this point can not be said
10 have been marked by any formal ai-
Vancement, though it is known that unofii.
cial exchanges are in progress, which
doubtless are preparing the way for a for
NAL agreement between the pormels in the
near future.
Acting through Ii Hung Chang, the Chi
nesc inpcra! government Is making siren
uous efforts To secure favorable considera-
tion for lis peace overtures. While our
government has not yet received copy Of
the imperial ediet referred to in the Shang
hai dispatches naming Earl Ii and several
other Chinese nota bles as nipotentiaries
10 negotiate Tor A settlement with the pow
ers, tho state department is advised
through its agents of the issuance Of such
an edict. This, ii is expected, will be com.
municated 10 the department when Mr.
WI. the Chinese minister, returns 10
Washington.
1t Is ascertained that neither Mr.. Rock
hill, MIR. Conger, nor General Chatiec has
been clothed with any special powers to
meet these or any other Chinese envoys.
II is stated that Mr.. Rockhiii i, in China
simply 70 observe and roPor; upon coua;.
tions--he had no ministerial powers up to
the present. General Chaffec's functions
are purely military SO it is said, and while
OF course he would be fully empowered to
giant truce, he is not Empowered 10
| conduct negotiations for final settlement
between the United States and China.
Minister Conger has only his general
powers as Il 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 al
present conduct negotiations for final set
tlemcnt with the Chinese government and
SPECIAL powers must be conveyed by the
state department, probably TO one OF the
three persons named when 1t comes TO the
final reckoning.
There is no disposition here to complain
Of dilatorine-s on the part Of the powers
in disposing OF the Russian suggcsti on re
-pecting withdrawal. II is felt that any

makes for peace, for each days develop

Blocade of wheat Cars.

Kansas City, Sept. 3.-The extensive
yards Of the Santa Fe railroad in Argen-
tine are almost exclusively occupied with
cars Of wheat, which it is almost impossi-
we're 20 miles of wheat cars there this
morning. The trouble is said to be due
to the inability Of the Chicago division of
the road to handle the great inflow Of
wheat from the various branch lines in
Kansas. The difficulty is not 50 much
from a car famine as it is due to lack
Of motive power to keep the lines cleared.
All the other roads in Kansas are una
Bile to handle the wheat offered.
All the elevators are full and farmers are
dumping wheat in big piles on the ground
near the railroad stations.
