LETrER FROM MIR. BARTON.
Portland, Me-. September 3, 1900.
To the Editor Of the Press.

Portland, Me-. September 3, 1900.
To the Editor Of the Press:
My attention has been called to the
statement being made by the supporters OF
Mr.. Pearson, that my nomination was Sc
cured by the use OF Despeaux money an
that was In league with the rumsell-
ers. 1 did not know until today that
this lie was being repeated at every rally
held in the interests of Mr. Pearson
throughout the county. Permit me to say
this: I challenge any friend OF BIr.
Pearson or. any other person, to produce
an atom of evidence in support Of such a
charge, that ever came to my knowledge,
or to produce any person who has con-
tributed one cent either Republican,
Democrat or rumseller, or has promised
to do so, to secure my nomination or cleo
ton. 1t seems to me that protested min
listers of the gospel, even in politics,
should be amenable to the teachings OF
the decalogue.
Yours very truly,
Llewellyn Barton.

rather reluctant to grant, but after re-

Pekin, August 29-Via Shanghai,
Sunday-The Princess Ching states that
Prince Ching. the pro-foreign Chinese
leader wanted to communicate with
Gen, Chatfee, but was informed by the
General that he would have first TO con-
suit with the other allied generals and
would give the Prince reply tomorrow
whether the interview would be desirable.
Other neutral princes are in the city
at present. The anti-foreign element
all followed the fight of the court.
Looting continues and the Boxers con-
cealed in several different sections OF the
city, still keep up a desultory ire. The
streets are picke6ed by the allied troops,
The first German contingent OF troops,
three thousand IN number, Will arrive
tomorrow
According to numerous reports the
many thousands OF Boxers who were sea t.
tered on the arrival Of the allies, are
again mass1ng to attack Pekln. These
rumors create great uneasiness. The
Japanese nave captured 5, 900, 0J0 bushels
of rice ana silver bullion to the amount
Of So, 600, coo. At Yien Ysin the Ameri-
can captured bullion to the value of
half million dollars.
Pekin, August 26-Via Shanghai,
Sunday-Chlng Shin, Ma lung and
Chung Lii, members OF the lung LII
Yamen, are trying to negotiate with the
generals OF the allied forces, through Sir
Robert Hart, director of imperial customs,
IN order to prevent the destruction OF the
1nnernost palace of the forbidden city.
With the same object in view the Rus
SLAMS have occupied the palace,
Resident Americans hope that the
negotiations win not succeed. They think
the city ought to be completely destroyed,
that Ma Tung and Chung Ii should be-
beheaded since they formed part OF the
cabal which caused the murder of Baron
Ven Ketleler, and attempted to massacre
all foreigners, and that no leniency
should be shown or the next generation
OF Cinnamon viii repeat the crime.
Many residents Of other natl Qualities
are moving into the American section
in order to be safe from the thieving
that is going on.
With the missionaries who are being
escorted today to Tien Tsin on their way
home went Mrs, and Miss Woodward

westward OF Pekin, 300 Boxers and 1000

Anticipated.
Pekin, Tuesday, August 21.-Prince
Ching is endeayoring to open negotiations
with the allies.
Yu Hslen, governor of Shanghai CD
has sent q memorial to the throne ask
ing for a reward for having invited
81 foreigners under his protection and
for having afterwards killed them.
In the provisional government estab-
lished here each nationality administers
a section Of the city, according to it's own
ideas.
There is a possibility of the Pekin de-
spatch being somewhat in error as to
the identity of the Chinese official who
is asking for a reward for numbering So
foreigners. A despatch to the Associated
Press from Che Foo dated August 30
said Yu, the. governor Of the province OF
Shen ST was reported to have invited
the foreigners in that province to come
under his protection. 1t was that about
August q, $50 foreigners accepted the
invitation and all were massacre.
Probably Yu, the governor Of Shen 81,
is Identical with the Yu HsIen, who
is referred to in the Pekin despatch as
governor OF Shanghai.

 New Orleans Aug.
