gestton. France has formally accept

1t Is confidently believed that Russia
will follow Frances example. Japan Is
also expected to assent.
Hesitation on the part of the British
and German governments to accept the
American proposal would show cons
ctlsively, II is argued, that they have
ldesigna upon Chinese territory such as
article 3 OF the Anglo German agree
ment indicates. Italy and Austria will
undoubtedly follow the lead OF Ger

ever. that formal agreement will be
entered into by the powers which will
insure the preservation OF China and
the maintenance Of the open door."
The answer OF the president TO the
Anglo German agreement will go forth
this week It 10 expected that this will
jreiterate the desirability Of general
agreement upon the principles of ter

census Of Mexico is Taken.

Monterey, Mex Oct 30. The federal
census was taken turnout Mexico Sat-
urday. Only the population was enn-
merated. The enumerators had left
blanks in the home Of every citizen to
be filled out with the names. ages and
nationality of the occupants. These
blanks were collected and will be for
warded Immediately to the department
of the interior in the City Of Mexico for
tabulation.
The census taken ten years ago vas
far from complete for the reason that
many natives feared their names were
wanted for the purpose Of forcing them
into the army and when the enumera-
tor appeared they hid. This fear was
largely overcome this year and It is
believed the census figures will show 2
remarkable growth in population.

Des Moines, Oct. 29.-Those who are
closely identified with the management
of the republican state committee have,
at the risk Of being thought lacking in
originality to some extent. kept up per-
sistently during the past month or six
weeks warnings 40 voters Of the danger
to republicanism in Iowa from stay-at-
home voters. The chief business Of the
republican state committee has been to
arouse republican voters to the neces-
sity of every one voting, instead OF de-
pending upon others to furnish the
majorities and win the victories. Chair
man Weaver has given more thought to
this problem than to anything else.
Realizing the overconfidence that pre-
vailed in the state, ne enlarged his
working force Of organizers and local
committeeman and precinct workers to
double the ordinary size and lombard
ed them week after week and day after
day with letters appealing to them to
get out the vote.
Chairman Weaver his resorted TO va
rious devices to persuade republicans
that all this talk about the danger of a
short vote is a real danger and not
merely bluff made by the copnittee
to scare republicans One OF the most
effective object lessons prepared for
this purpose Is a table showing the
number of republican stay-at-nomes
last yearthat Is, the number of re-
publicans who voted in 1896 who failed
to vote in 1899. The total number was
