 q am now in the silver mining busi- ness. I have been in it for years. I am convinced that silver will take care of itself if demagogdes will quit talk ing about it. This not only my opinion. but it is the opinion of the great maj jor- ity of mine owners and operators on the Pacific slope. Tine free silver senti- ment has been on d 1eathbed in Wash ington for four yeass On the other We are prosperous as We never were De- fore. Some of the biggest flour mills of the world have been built in Wash ington. and are daily grinding for eX- port to Asia Everybody out our way is an expansiOnist. The opening up of the Orient is going to furnish Us with new life. The open door in China policy is sneered at by some democrats in the east, but We know what it means to the Pacific coast. and We are for it. We have a big town out our way called Seattle. You'll hear more of it when the thousands of American ships are going to the Orient loaded with export There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that Mckinley will carry Wash ington by not less than 10000. Oregon and California will give bigger republi- can matorities than ever. In Idaho the democrats and pOpulists are divided and the state looks republican. I have interests in Montana and feel the state is as surely republican as Michigan"

NEXT STEP IN CHINA.
Military Commanders Will Confer
 With EnVOyS.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The Pekin le- gations having been relieved. it is now for General Chaffee to decide on the next step to be taken for the protection of American interests at Pekin and in accordance with the instructions sent him he can proceed as seems best to him after conference with the other commanders. The military leaders will have the advantage of consultation with the rescued ministers who are fa- miliar with what has been going on in Pekin for the last six weeks. and what ever they may agree to on the spot is likely to be fully as wise as any action that might be determined for them by their respective governments, viewing the situation from distance.
 If the forebodings of Ii Hung Chang are realized. then the empress dowager and the dynasty of which she is the controlling spirit may be in peril on account of admitting the foreign troops into the city. and the rescue of the II in- isters may be only the prelude to com- plications involving the life of the dy1- asty and the continued integrity of the empire.
 In any event it is assumed that steps must be taken to establish and main- tain stable government at Pekin. capable of observing international obli- gations. How much part the United States will take in those new arrange ments must be determined by develop ments, always bearing in mind that the administration desires to withdraw our troops from China as soon as that can be done without injury to American interests

THE GRANARY AND BANK.
Special Objects of Attack by the Ameri
 can Troops.

London, Aug. 23.-4 a. m.-"Today 1,5O0 Americans attacked the imperial palace" says a dispatch in the Morning Post from Pekin. dated August 15, and captured four of the courts. The American flag is flying over the impe- rial granary, and the imperial bank has been Iootod."
 Describing events previous to the re- lief, the Morning Post correspondent cables: "On August F the Tsung Li Yamen requested a conference with the visw of peace. No armistice was grant ed, however and that night we endured the longest fusilade of the whole siege. It lasted twelve hours.
 August 13 the Tsung Ii Yamen begged to be excused from any confer ence, saying that its members were too busy. Later they wrote that they had forbidden firing on us, and would court martial any who disobeyed. During the evening many shells fell in the Ie- gation grounds"
 The Daily Chronicle publishes an in- 'FiNIC" NIlIl lile Jdpd1tS Se munster m London, Kato Takaki, which represents him as having said:
 The empress is heating the south of China. So long as she lives. so long as she remains in China, whether the supreme power is taken from her or not, she will always be the greatest force, ane above all others to be reckoned with. The difficulty will be to get any one who can speak for her. l fear that the influence Of Li Hung Chang is now of extremely little weight.
 "The powers must come to a final un- Gerstanding quickly. Riots, anarchy, bloodshed and misery throughout China will be the inevitable result of policy that does not immediately disclose it. self. The government must be re-es- tablished.''
 The Japanese envoy expressed his approval of the reported American sug- gestion regarding a conference of the powers ard said he believed that satis- factory pecuniary compensation could be secured if the resources of China were properly developed.

JEFFEPIRS WAS TASTY
If Champion Does n't Fitz Will De-
 mand Lost Laurels.

New York, Aug. 22.-Champion Jim way calculated to convince the pub lie that he is sincere in his desire to fight the winner of the Fitzsmmons- Sharkey fight on August 31. He says he is unwilling to keep on training un- til after Fftz and the sailor have set tied their difficulties, at which time the winner of that encounter can definitely say whether he will be fit to tackle the champion one week later. When Will liam A. Brady, in behalf of Jeffries. is sued sweeping def the other day it was taken to mean that Jeffries was spelling for an argument. Fitzsimmons, who is expected by the knowing ones to hnat Sharkey, accepted the offer made by Brady, So that it was up to Jeffries to keep on training until after August 9. If at that time the winner of the FitzSharkey mill should be in capacitated from fighting so soon again JeffrieS would then be at liberty to de- clare everything off and also to cease training.
 But Jeffries has seen fit to show sur prising impatience. He says he will not wait and that he will not fight again for year. Fitzsimmons declares that if he whips Sharkey and Jeffries re- fuses to meet him on August 51 he (Fitz) will declare himself champion of the world. If Jeffries wants to fight Fitzsimmons or Sharkey before Sep tember 1 in this state, he has only to wait until Saturday. to find out def- nitely. An unwillingness to do this would probably be taken to mean that Jeffries doesn't want to fight at all-at least until he can get himself into first class physical condition. And, thereby hangs tale. It is said that Jeffries is is away out of form and that he knows he cannot get right in the short spa ce Of nine days. Fitzsimmons' remark able showing against Ruhlin, it is be- 1 lieved, threw scare into the Jeffries camp, so that a complicated challenge was immediately forthcoming.
 Jeffries weighed POS pounds when he beat Fftzsimmons and the latter was not at his best according to competent judges. FitZ is a hundred per cent bet ter now, while Jeffries will htve a hard time to make so light a weight again. Possibly that is the reason why the champion is quibbling. Jeffries has been booked for a long theatrical tour. which. in the event of an unexpected setback at the hands of the sturdy Cornishman, might not prove so profit able. Al any rate, it seems req sOnable on the part of FitzsimmonS to ask Jeffrfes to wait one week before decid- ing to throw up a match that would be of vast interest to the sporting public.

 Saturday

London. Aug. 22-Rear Admiral Bruce cabled the British admiralty from Iaku under date of Monday. August 70: The allies were fighting the Chinese outside of Tien Tsin August 19. The en- gagement is reported to have occurred SIX miles south of Tien Tsin."

 Half of the Tartar city was placed under control of the Japanese and com mittees of Japanese, American, British, Russian and French officers were ap- pointed to maintain order. A detach- ment of Japanese troops rescued the foreign missionaries and Chinese Chris tian converts who had been imprisoned in the palace. Two hundred Japanese were killed or wounded.

Bryauism Is Losing Its Grip.-Callers at Headquarters Unanimous In Saying That McKinley's Election Is Assured.

New York. Aug. 22-Chairman Hanna continued today to receive many calls from leading western business men. All brought encouraging reports on the po- litical situation. The situation in Min nesota was described by President John Mckinley, of the Great Lakes Copper company. He said:
 ''I think Mckinley will carry Minne- sota by not less than 75OO0. It is pretty well understood by the population of our state that the election of Mir Bryan would be a calamity. The copper busi- ness is of great importance to the upp=r lake states. It will be badly crippled if Bryan is elected; more so than when Cleveland was elected. Most consumers of copper do business on borrowed money. If capitalists lose confidence, and do not advance money. our busi- ness is ruined. It is nearly the same in all lines, especially in the iron indus try. The democrats in Minnesota are stlll talking great deal about silver, Thanked by arguments against imperi- allSm and an alliance with England They have always. to some extent. tried 10 foment race hatred. They are now appealing to the Scandinavians as enemies of England. and appealing to Germans because Emperor William is an enemy of England.
