FRENCH STILL OPPOSE
Won WALDERSEE AS CHIEF
Assert That French soldiers Cannot
BE Commanded on the Field by
N Foreigner.


NEW YORK. Aug. i3---A dispatch TO the
Tribune from London says:
Despite the assertions 30 confidently
repeated that all the powers have ac-
eepted the unconditional appointment OF
Count Won Waldersee as commander-in-
chief of the allied forces, It is stili be-
lieved here that several governments
have given their consent 10 the cosnts
nomination with important limitations on
his freedom OF action. II is pointed out
in Paris, and by. responsible statesmen
like NJ Meline. that under the law OF
February 1874. no foreign officer can hold.
even nominally or Professionally. command
OF any body OF French troops. Al pres
ent the counts commission from the pow
ers would make him rather chief OF a
council OF officers than commander-in-
chief No doubt when the allied army
Is actually engaged In battle with the
Chinese, the German field marshal viii
be in command. and his tactical DISPOSE
tions viii he carried out by all ranks ana
nationalIties, but on the larger question
or strategy and policy, the attitude OF
the chiefs OF the various foreign contln-
gents will be largely determined by IN
structions from home.
1T is possible, however, that before
Count Won Waldersee reaches the Peiho
a more definite understanding between
the powers as TO their objects and pur-
poses in China will have been reached.

the Chinese overtures, the Daily News
says:
The reply is more conclliatory than
that of NJ. Delcasse, and in some respects
a little ambiguous. Stlll its substance
is the same 1t may be observed that
the United States government does not
seem TO separate itself from the allies"
All the small arms ammunition used by
the allies will follow the recommendations
of the peace conference, none being ex-
plosive or expansive.
The drain of China and South Africa
upon England's stores is so great that
every private firm has been enlisted to
help the government supply the demand.
and to restore the reserve, which is much
below par. All the great ammunition
firms are working night and day in their
efforts to meet the governments wishes.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
TACOMA, Aug. l3.-With Rerhaps a
fourth OF the delegates 10 the state con-
vention here. including in many instances
the steering committees of county dele
cations and prominent Republican lead
ers. Tacoma is taking on the appearance
of being on the eve of the state conven-
ton which Is yet thirty-six hours OFF.
No combinations have yet been formed.
The real snte-convention work will begin
tomorrow morning
Senator Frink is the leading figure In
the governorshp contest. His chances
of a nomination by acclamation improve
hourly. He has now lead over all other
candidates which. In the opinion of the
leaders, makes his nomination certain.
Mr.. Scobeys strength has not been de-
fined. 1t is merely speculative. Much
depends on the action of the southwest
ern counties, which are not largely rep
resented here, and which will not be in
a position to caucus until late tomorrow.
In the meantime Senator F'rink's head
quarters at the Tacoma are filled with
leaders from various parts OF the state,
and effective work Is being done in his
interest by the King county steering COM
mittcc.

'.our situation here is desperate In

''The allies at noon. Saturday. were

As Gen. Chafree's report, which is the
only authentic news received here re-
garding the advance located the inter-
national forces about forty miles from
Peking on Friday. It seems probable that
the Shanghai report is optimistic. 1t IS
scarcely likely that the allies could have
advanced twenty miles in as many hours.

New Candidate. Talked OF.

Realizing that there is mighty slim
show for them TO win. the opponents OF
Senator Frink are now talking Of bring
ing new candidates for governor Into The
night. In this connection tho name OF w.
B. Cofrman. the Lewis county banker. has
been mentioned. He is spoken of as be-
ing man who could possibly unite the
Southwest which Mr.. Scobey has so far
failed TO do. Theregis even talk on the
part of Mr.. Frinks opponents OF induc-
Ing Congressman Jones to enter the race.
Mr.. Jones. however. win not be tempted
In that direction, IL Is said.
The only united and cohesive forces In
evidence tonight came from King county
and the northwest. This of course, re-
iates 10 the governorship contest. which is
exciting the only real interest in the
preliminary work OF the convention. The
nomination of Congressman Jones and
Cushman is regarded as practically GER
tain. so that the attention of the leaders
Is being concentrated on the selection of a
gubernatorial candidate.
