FRANCE WISHES PEACE.
She Is at One With the United States and
Russia.

Copyright, 1900 zy the Associated Press,)
Paris, September 1.-THE Chinese sit
uation as viewed in Paris, has assum-
ed a brighter aspect. The practical
unanimity Of the United States, Russia,
France and Japan in the desire to main
tain the integrity of the Empire is re-
garded as settling any question Of parti-
ton negatively England's position is
undoubtedly as strongly favorable to the
foregoing policy as is that Of any power
mentioned, but it is more pleasing to
France that bonds Of accord should be
shown between the United States, France
and Russia and that these nations should
appear to be the controlling influences
towards peace. Americas proposition to
accept Ii Hung Chang as go between in
tiary able to furnish proper credentials.
the negotiations is we'll received here,
although it is still desired that he pro-
duce tangible evidence that he is act
ing for the central power. In fact, France
is ready to treat with any plenipoten-
Russias proposal to withdraw the troops
from Pekin comedies with the feeling
entertained in Paris in favor of a con-
ciliatory policy.
The acceptance of these two proposals
by all the powers is considered an i'm
portant step towards a satisfactory So
luton and one which will avoid causing
CONFUSION within China and will min
imize the danger of conflict among the
powers. Germany and Italy are the
doubtful factors, but it is thought the
weight Of the pacific influence OF the
other nations will overcome any belli-
cose intentions on their part.

ment to remain longer at Pekin. as the
latter is absent. 1t is therefore intend
ed to recall the Russian Minister with
Ali the members of the mission to Tien
Tsin whittier they will be accompanied
by the Russian troops, whose presence
at Pekin henceforward appears purpose
less in consequence of the oft-declared
firm determination of the Government
not to depart from the task it originally
set itself. AS soon, however, as a legal
Chinese Government again takes the
reins of power and appoints a represen-
tative invested with full authority to
negotiate with the powers, Russia, after
having come to an agreement with all
the foreign governments, will, on her
side not fail to send a plenipotentiary
to the place where the negotiations will
be held"
The Official Messenger concludes with
announcing that in consequence of the
communication of the above circular to
the foreign powers, M. De Giers, the
Russian Minister at Pekin, and General
Linevitch commander of the Russian
troops at the Chinese capital, were di-
rected to promptly proceed to carry out
the Imperial intentions regarding the
transfer from Pekin to Tien Tsin of
all the members OF the Mission, Russian
subjects and Russian troops, with due
consideration for all local circumstances.

FARMS LISTED AT FULL VALUE.
From Asheyille Next Week the Tax Hearing
Shifts to Greensboro.

Especial to the News and Observer
Asheville, n. c., September 1.-The
examination of witnesses by the rail-
roads was resumed this morning. w. c..
Britain, Of Rutherford county was the
first witness examined, and he said that
all he knew Of differentiation was from
what he had heard people say, and that
he knew nothing of his own personal
knowledge. j. W. Terrell, of Jackson
county, was next and he testified gem
orally to an undervaluation of from
one-third to fourth of what land
would bring al voluntary sale, and on
cross examination that the poorer class
of farming lands, which composed about
three fourths of his county we're assess
ed at their full value and that farming
was not very profitable business and
did not pay over four per cent on as
sessed value. that there was difference
of twenty per cent between forced and
voluntary sales of land.
S. P. Sheriff. and A. Nixon, of Lin
coin county testified to the same UNI
liberalization and both admitted that they
did not have personal knowledge of
either the assessed or real value OF most
of the lands OF their county. They tes-
titled to the same difference in forced
sales ard voluntary sales as Terrell. A
number of instances OF sales of prop
erty for more than their assessed value
were given.
The session was very short today. The
master took a recess until Monday
when the witnesses from Buncombe
county are to be examined. A field day
is expected at that time and much local
interest in tho hearing is excited. The
hearing here is expected to be concluded
on Monday or Tuesday next, and there
will be an adjournment to Greensboro,
where the hearing will commence again
on the eleventh instant and will con-
tinue for two weeks and perhaps longer.

Operators Swarm in England. Rumors of Many
Important Deals Under Way.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Se1t. American coal opera
tors and their agents are apparently
lswarm:ng to England and rumors of
many important deals filled the air during
the past week. w. p. Rend, Of Chicago
IS here on his way 20 Paris. He is hope
full of supplying both the French and
West Virginia. Mr. Rend had a long
interview with the Russian Consul yester
da-.
e. NJ Hopkins, of Philadelphia, this
morning closed contract for 100000 tons
of Pennsylvania run of mine coal for
iimr1ediate delivery at Mediterranean
ports. Mr.. Hopkins said to a represen-
tative Of the Associated Press:
English consumers are not familiar
with American unscreened coal, but con-
tinental dealers are. Therefore am
selling to them l do not anticipate
trouble in securing orders
President Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania
railroad, has gone to Paris on the same
business, while Robert Pitcairn, Superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania Pittsburg
division goes to Scotland on a visit to
Andrew Carnegie early next week. and
it has been said that there is on foot a
scheme to provide the Pennsylvania coal
syndicate with trans Atlantic transpor-
tation.
Mr.. Pitcairn said to representative of
the Associated Press:
my visit to Mr.. Carnegie is not exact
ly upon the errand suggested. l am not
quite sure how long the present coal
famine CIR the existing conditions in Eng
land will continue. My personal idea
is that American mine owners are apt
to find better market in the Mediterran-
can or Black Sea ports than any country
where England herself will be a COM
petitor Under fair conditions, l believe
the United States can supply England's
former customers on the continent with
rrofit."
