NEW YORK REPUBLICANS,
Empire State Politics Will Be Inter-
esting.

Saratoga, N. Y. Sept. 3.-Timothy L.
Woodruff today decided to accept re-
nomination for lieutenant governor, and
this ended the only point of uncertainty
concerning the ticket to be named by
the republicans in convention today
After Mr.. Woodruff made the decision,
interest centered in the platform, there
being some discussion as to the wording
of the trust plank.
1t was believed this afternoon that the
declaration on trusts will suggest that
means be taken to obtain more pub
licity concerning their affairs
Attorney General John G. Davies wrote
q plank recommending radical remedies
by, legislation, but the general opinion
today seemed to favor the suggestions
made ~ Governor Roosevelt and Pro-
fessOr Jencks, that publicity of the af-
fairs of the trusts should be demanded
Benjamin b. Odell of Orange is to have
first place on the ticket as nominee for
governor.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Following it's an
nouncement of its policy, the state de-
partment is preserving silence as to the
progress of the negotiations now afoot
respecting the withdrawal of troops from
Pekin. 1t is gathered, however that up
to date no definite responses have been
received to our last note to the powers on
this subject 1t is stated that in all pro-
liability at least a week will be consum-
ed in diplomatic exchange. In that time
one of two things may happen. Russia
may yield to what appears to be the wish
of nearly all the powers and refrain from
carrying out her purpose to withdraw
from Pekin, or the forces will be march
ed out.
1t is clearly the wish of our govern
ment that the first of these lines of action
shall be taken. Events in Pekin, as re-
ported in press dispatches, encourage the
government here in the hope and almost
in the expectation that Russia will yield.
Meanwhile nothing has been heard from
Mr.. .Conger since his dispatch transmitted
through Mr.. Fowler last Saturday and
supposed to have been sent from Pekin
about August q. General Chaffee was
equally silent officially, or else his tele-
grams were delayed, for there was no
word from him.
The war department is not informed as
to the plans of the campaign during the
winter and is not aware that the report
that three camps are to be established,
one each at Pekin, Tien Tsin and Taku,
is correct. The quartermasters depart
ment has sent to Taku enough supplies
for that department to furnish 5000
troops in China with all necessaries from
September l until May IT, All of the
supplies will be in China within the next
| thirty or forty days. The last ship to
leave San Francisco for Taku with quar-
termaster's supplies was the Rosecrans,
! which closely followed the Egbert. Both
of these ships took abundant clothing and
/ forage. There had previously been sent
immense quantities of lumber, including
everything in the way of building mater
ials that is necessary in the construction
of barracks for the men and horses. This
| lumber and similar supplies will reach
Taku in a short time.
1t is somewhat doubtful whether Taku
will be made the site of a large camp, as
! the reports received by the quartermas-
| ter's department indicate that the facili-
| ties at this place are not very good there
| being an especial lack of buildings for
storing and warehousng the supplies.
| While it is possible that small detach-
ment will remain at Taku, the belief at
| the war department is that the main
| body of troops will be Wintered at Tien
Tsin. Nothing has been announced from
the war department as to Gen. Chaffee's 9

Denver, Col, Sept. 3.-Maj. S. X. Hoop

Ieut.-Col. c. A. Coolidge, dated Tien

idge led the Ninth infantry in its attack
on the inner walls of Tien Tsin The
latter gives an account of the lighting at
Tien Tsin and continues:
'"The Japanese looted the Chinese
houses, but the French were entirely in
the robbery business, and robbed and
murdered right and left and 20 still. I
believe the British were grant 81 one day

by the Franch who still continued th..
work in their own quarter. The Amer
ican quarter has been very quiet and we
guard it as best we can with cur small
garrison. The Chinese lead are all bur-
led and the town is cleared up and

There were 10000 dead Chinese and

forthcoming to indicate what modifica-
tions or provisions, if any, Lord Sails

plates, as is thought probable in some
quarters. The statement that General
Gaselee, commander of he British troops
In China, has stotpped British reinforce
ments arriving at Hong Kong from pro-
ceedlng further north is taken as an in
t1cipates that the diplomatists will very
shortly take the place now occupied by
the military. 1t is reported at Hong Kong
that the French gunboat Comet recently
fired on some Chinese farmers on the
bank of the Hang Kiang, killing three
and wounding three others. The Incl
dent, it is added, is regarded as liable to
provoke reprisals.

Llnheld Wilder, the agent and telegra ph
operator at Hatfield, made a statement
to-day In which he said the excursion
train was scheduled to arrive at Hatfield

$3.50. The excursion train was a minute

statement as to the cause OF the acci-
dent.
From a partial investigation" he
said, Il think mistake has been made
the responsibility for which can only be
placed after thorough investigation.
Train Dispatcher Groves, in the Read
ing terminal station in this CITY, may
have waited too long before issuing or
ders to hold up the excursion train, which
was rapidly catching UP to the milk

may have failed to display the stop sig
nal, which the rules of the company re-
quire when trains are five minutes apart
or the engineer of the excursion train did
not see or disregarded the signal
In addition to these possible causes
Mr.. Sweigart said that the wires of the
company were working very badly, due
to the fog, and interfered with the trans
mission of an order from Phifadelpiia
to hold the excursion train When this
order finally got through. he said he could
not say until after the investigation.
