Berlin, Sept. 29.-The Chinese situa-
ZION. particularly Gcrmany's proposal
and the United States answer, monop-
olized public attention this week. The
dent, continues to severely blame Pres
ident Mckinley for his refusal to agree
with the proposition of Germany. The
Cologne Gazette, which since the OUT
break of the China troubles has been
the favorite mouthpiece, daily for the
Foreign Office, this week cOmbated the
view that Germany had been trying
to embark the other Powers on usnger-
GUS seas. or attempting to obtain the
lead in the Chinese negotiations The
Lokal Anzeiger to-day argues that the
United States knows, through Minister
Conger. that the Chinese government

Owing to Emperor Williams special

than formerly. All the new plays
submitted for censorship in Berlin for

forbidden outright or greatly modified.

MASSACRE CONFIRMED.
Washington, Sept. 29.-The Depart

MINISTER WI APPROVES.
Washington. Sept. 29.-The Chinese
Minister, Mr.. WI Ting Fang, to-day
expressed his strong apnroval of the
suggestion by Ii Hung Chang that the
United states act as mediator for the
settlement of the entire Chinese ques-
tion. The minister was much gratifed
at the favorable character of the adj
vices from China, particularly the ref
erence OF Earl Ii to his constant COM
with Mr.. WI and the speci-
fc reference of the Chinese envoy in
favor of the United States as mediator.
Mr.. VIZ from the first urged that the
United states should take n leading
part in the peace settlement and 1t is
probably due to this position that Earl
Ii now takes the advanced position in
favor of the United States as mediator.
Since the suggestion has come from
such n high source. the minister ex-
presses his confidence of being able to
secure any authority or requests for an
American initiative which may he need
full.

London, Sept. 29.-The election cam
paign is developing unexpected heat
chiefly due to the vigorous efforts of
the Liberals to show united front.
Personalities are figuring more than
usual in the contests. Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain. the Secretary of State for
the Colonies, by reason of the agrees
sive tone OF all his speeches. is the OBJ
ject OF many bitter personal attacks.
Some of his enemies have declared him
to, be politically dishonest, and even go
further than that.
Winston Churchill In Oldham, has
been so vigorously attacked that Gen
eral Sir Evelyn Wood. the Adjutant-
General, had TO come to his assistance
with letter declaring there was no
thing dishonest connected with his
resignation from the Army. and vouch-
ing for the correctness of Churchill's
recent dual role OF officer and cores
pondent. Some of the Liberals of Old

situations against the young candi-
date, but like his father, Churchill
seems to revel in a fight and is said
to stand good chance of being
elected.

but through ofticeholders to he named

feat 1t by the election OF the Demo-
cratic candidate would be to bring
about a money panic. and that would
be too great Il price to pay for the Sc

to that, the Democrats answer that
such "a policy would be violation OF

PROCURED A PLANT on HIS NERVE"
The absurdity of the proposition to
saddle upon an infant industry an interest
charge practically amounting to thirty
seven-and-one-half per cent was too ap-
parent, and Mr.. Mcfarland sadly, but
firmly, refused to entertain such propo-
sitiOn. 1t was not the first rebuff he had
received and there were others to come;
but he did not despair; he determined to
90 ahead, anyway. He entered into cor
respondence with all the sewing machine
companies in the country with view TO
securing machines on the instalment
plan. He was promptly told that sewing
machines for manufacturing purposes
were not sold in that way; nevertheless,
he kept at the machine companies, frank
ly telling, however, that he had no
money, and the formation of the company
which he hoped to form was still in the
uncertain future.
Finally, the managers of the Standard
Sewing Machine company wrote him
that his persistence was To them good
proof of his sincerity and if he could give
them references of his good standing and
reputation among the business men of

workmen, with q poorly equipped plant,
and everything abont the business new,
and but little understood by either en-
ployer or employees, resulted in the usual
amount of mistakes, spoiled work and
uneconomical methods, so that the prog
ress made was slow. Mr.. McFarland's
ideas were also too far in advance for his
partners to whom he had surrendered a
large share of the company stock, to Sc
cure that unanimity necessary for suecess.
The consequence was that it was de-
termined, on their part, TO get control oil
the business by offering TO buy out the
inventor.
MAKING A SHIFT.
Things were assuming a desperate
shape for Mr.. Mcfarland; but no one, to
see or talk &c him, would have suspected
il. He was considered at the end of his
rope when, in circus parlance, he made
one of those wonderful "shifts," which
got him out of present difficulties.
The date was set for meeting at
which proposition was to be made for
Mr.. Mcfarland to sell out, or buy out his
partners The latter proposition was con-
sidered ont of the question, as he had
sunk his last dollar in the enterprise and
was hopelessly involved, besides.
Bnt there was way out.

proposed by Mr.. Fla.ler. Mr.. Mcfarland
had, by that time, got plant together,
and, save for the purchase of sewing ma
chimes, was ready for business and had
orders ahead to the amount of several
thousands of dollars.
The Board of Trade, of Titusyille, met
for the purpose of considering the matter
and it Was unanimously voted that the

part, for the installation of the machines,
the company would consider the matter
OF sending them.
Here, the nerve" and candid audacitv
of this undaunted man served him well.
Instead of despairing, he hustled
around, got the 500, and sent it to the
company in the form of certified check.
In few days, with 81 200 worth Of
sewing machines set up in his factory,
Mr.. Mcfarland began work.
Meanwhile, although the means were
lacking To conduct the business on the
plan desired or considered indispensable
by Mr.. Mcfarland, a company was
formed and the utility of the tents re-
ceived every test before numerous groups
OF orange growers that could be gwen in
