The Latter Forced to Resign or Give
Up Ills Stumplng Plans.
A Washington special says: The
resignation of Tams Bixby from
the Dawes commission appears to
have been forced by Secretary
Hitchcock because the latter could
not wink at the customary long
leaves of absence asked by repub.
lican Office holders in order to
stump the doubtful states for the
administration. =
Mr.. Hitchcock's views in this
respect are in marked contrast
with those of his associates in the
cabinet. and. in Bixby's case, they
disagree with the presidents.
Bixby, who is to take an active
part in the republican campaign in
Minnesota. applied for q long
leave from his duties in the Indian
Territory. This was not granted
and Bixby went to Canton some
time ago for a conference with the
president, which resulted satisfac.
torily to Bixby.
When the latter renewed his
application for a leave. however.
Secretary Hitchcock again declined
it, this time coupling the refusal
with a suggestion that Bixby
should either attend to his Official
duties or vacate his position. Al
Bixby had promised to serve on tia
republican committee in Minnesota
he felt compelled to resign.
Before his resignation take,
effect he is expected to call again
> on the president to make q ina
appeal for permission to be absen
, from his duties during the cam
paign.

London, Aug. ga certain
amount OF uneasiness is begin
ming to be felt at what are sup
posed to be indications of differ
ences of opinion among the
powers with regard to the future
of China. 1t is believed that
while the United States, Great
Britain and Japan are anxious to
limit operations to the minimum
necessity for incuring good gov
ernment in the future, Russia
and Germany will not be content
to stop at this point. Both have
stronger technical case against
China than the rest of the allies.
Germany may and probably
will consider herself entitled to
exact substantial compensation
for the murder of Baron Won
Ketteler. 1t is pointed out that
if the Kaiser's government re-
ouired Kiao Chau in reparation
for the murder of two mission
aries, the whole Province of Shan
Tung might be demed no more
than an adequate price for the
assassination of her minister.
Russia, again, is in a different
position from the other powers
since China was the aggressor-
or, at least, so the Russian au
thorities maintain-on the north
) ern frontier. The Russians
having repelled the attack ol
their territory, have carried tn
