London, Aug. 27.-According to a
special dispatch from Berlin, Germany
has not received any proposals or sug-
gestions from the United States for

conference premature and desires
the allied commanders to exercise con-

of China until Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee shall have assumed
command and have time to report on
the situation.

RECOUNT IN LINCOLN.
Change in State Senate and Sher-
if is the Result.

The Phoebe Record says that in the
recount of the votes for State Senator
from Lincoln county, Dooley lost seven
and Prudential one by reason of the
voters having written in lead pencil on
their ballots the names of candidates
for Justice of the Peace. and these were
thrown out, thus giving the election to
Prudential. On the face Of the re-
turns Dooley had ma jority OF six, but
in the recount Prudential gained four
teen votes, the eanyassing board decid-
ing to count number of ballots which
had been thrown out by the Inspectors
of Election in different precincts for the
reason that the voters had in some
cases voted for all the Presidential
Electors and in others the ballots we're
rejected for mere Irregularities. Freu
denthais majority over Dooley was
fixed by the canYassing board at eight
votes.
The recount also established the fact
that Jake johnson had been elected
Sheriff over Phil Smith by a majority
of five votes. On the face OF the re-
turns Mr.. Smith had an apparent ma
jority of five.
