About our Townships.

The official vote of this county was
given in these columns last week. The
figures bringing out some interesting
facts. Cameron township shows itself
to be the strongest republican township
in the county, y per cent of its votes
being republican this year. That is
nearly three fourths of them. Douglas
comes next with 81 per cent republican,
then Oakfeld with 66t per cent, Mel
vile So, Greeley SO, Leroy So, Audu.
bon Sc, Extra "a, Sharon "a the frac'
ton being little less than Extra, Lin.
coin SO, Viola 50 and Hamlin 81. Thus
it is seen that several of the townships
are very close in comparative republi-
can strength.
We also noticed that Sharon town
ship made the best per cent of gain OF
republican votes cast the previous year,
gaining 81 votes or nearly 33 per cent.
Audubon is next gaining 20 votes, or
20 per cent. Then comes Douglas
gaining 20 votes or nearly 20 per cent
Extra gained 40 or II per cent. Lincoln
gained Is votes ar IA percent. Melville
gained IL votes or ID per cent. Viola
gained votes or nearly 10 per cent.
Cameron gained votes or nearly 3 per
cent. Oakfeld gained votes or little
more than 2 per cent. Hamlin cast
just the same number republican votes
The only townships that polled less
republican votes than the year before
were Greeley and Leroy. Greeley re-
publicans cast 2 votes less making
about per cent of loss while Leroy
cast Is votes less or a loss OF q frac-
ton over per cent. In some of these
townships the republican vote of '99
was not as we'll out as it ought to have
been which left better chance for big
gain this year. In several of them the
democrats lost over last year. However
in the whole county they gained 10
votes, or one and one half per cent. In
the county the republicans gained 164
votes or about 10 per cent.

"The foreign office has received the

from NJ. De Giers, Russian minister

Ter To Tsi Ian, the capital OF Shan

IN. DE Giers announces that the
siege of the legations continues. the
besieged still having some provisions

SILVER HAS BEEN REpUDIATED

Butte, Mont. Aug. l0,-Ex, Senator
Lee Mantle, chairman of the Silver
Republicans. has written a letter
formally renouncing his allegiance to
that party and going bpck to the Re-
publican party. Mr.. Mantle says, In
effect, that the silver question Is
dead and that 1t has been practically
abandoned by the Democrats and
even by the delegates from Montana
to the national convention, where
the delegates from this state on the
committee on resolutions refused to
vote on the l6 to question.
ITO my mind the paramount issue
today Is the issue OF maintaining the
honor and dignity OF the nation and
the supremacy OF it's flag wherever II
Is rightfully hoatiDg. 1t Is the issue
whether we shall preserve the fruits
OF all the blood and treasure expend-
ed, and all the splendid courage and
patriotism exhibited in the cause OF
humanity and In the defense OF un-
deniable rights, and whether we
shall resolutely discharge the great
obligations which have devolved up
on us, or whether we will abandon
our advanced position, throw upour
arms, cravenly hoist the white flag
and admit to the world that we are
incapable OF solving the problems
which confront u.s."

London, Aug. II, $3.50 a. m.-The
British consul Mt Canton, suys the
Daily Telegraph correspondent there,
has received the following message,
dated August 6, from Sir Claude Nc
Donald. British minister In Pekin:
"Our situation here IL perllous. In
ten days our food supply will be nt
an end. Unless we are relieved a gen
eral massacre IL probable.
THE Chinese offer to escort W. To
Tlen Tsin. but remembering Gavin
pore, we refuse the offer. There are
over 200 European women and chill
dren IN this legation"
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Daily Express wiring yesterday says:
THE allies at noon Saturday were
within 80 miles Of Pckin."
Az General Chafce's report, which
IL the only authentic news received
here, regarding the advance, located
the international forces about 10
miles from rekin on Friday. Il seems
probable that the Shanghai report il
optimistic. II is scarcely likely that
the allies could advance l0miles in as
many hours.

they are believed to make plain that
this government will not advise,
much less direct, that Mr.. Conger
leave Pekin under Chinese escort
when the minister has advised Wash
ington that this would mean certain
death. Moreover, the reply doubtless
let's the minister know that there is
an unaccountable error In the state
ment of the Chinese government as
conveyed to him through the tsung
Ii yamen, that the foreign govern
ments had urged repeatedly that the
ministers be sent out OF Pekin under
suitable escort. This clause contain
ed In Conger's latest dispatch clearly
shows that the Chinese government is
leading him to believe that 1t Is the
wish OF Washington that he leave
under Chinese escort, whereas the
United States never entertained for a
moment the idea OF having the min
lister start out on the dangerous
pilgrimage from Pekin to the coast
under Chinese protection.
There IL probability that the at
tention Of the Chinese government
will be directed to it's apparent dou-
BILE dealing as indicated by Conger's
dispatch.

Chinese Want to Negotiate.

Washington, Aug. 12.-lndications
OF the desire OF China for a peaceful
settlement Of her present difficulties
have been multiplying for several
days. Official evidence OF that desire
was presented to the department OF
state today. 1t was in the form OF
an edict promulgated by the emperor,
Kwang Hsu, appointing Earl Ii
Hung Chang asenvoy plenipotentiary
to negotiate with the powers for an
immediate cessation Of bostilities,"
pending n solution Of the problems
which may have grown out OF the
anti-foreign uprising in the empire.
Earl Ii is to act directly for the
emperor and the inference IL that
whatever terms OF settlement he may
reach with the powers will be ap-
proved by the imperial government.
While 1t is conceded by the Wash.
ington officials that the conference Of
plenary authority upon Earl Ii to
negotiate with the powers for the
settlement OF the existing troubles Ia
a step in the right direction, II by no
means Ia assured that the United
States government will consent Off
hand to open negotiations with the
distinguished viceroy. The demands
of this government upon China have
been made plainly and without equiv
ocation. They cannot be mlsunder-
stood. Assuming that the Chinese
government Is acting In good faith,
the demands are reasonable and can
be compiled with readily. As trans
mitted to the imperial government
by the secretary Of state through
Minister WI, the demands In brief
were:
That the Chinese government give
assurance that the foreign ministers
are alive and. ifso, In what condition.
That the ministers be placed In free
communication with their govern
ments, firing upon the legation cease
and all dangers to their lives and
liberty be removed.
That the imperial authorities place
themselves In communication with
the relief expedition so that the lega-
tioners may be liberated, foreigners
protected and order restored.
Until these demands have been ac-
csded to 1t Is regarded as highly i'm
probable that the government OF the
United States, or any Of the united
powers, all OF whom have made
practically the same demands upon
China, will consent to a cessation OF
hostile demonstrations" which are
being conducted, at least so far IA
this government IL concerned, with

sieged legationers in the Chinese cap

Chinese lying to Ministers.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 9.-In the
light of the latest dispatch from Min
lister Conger, received by the state de-
partment through Minister WI to-
day, the attitude of the administra-
tion Is that there is but one thing to
be done in the present circumstances,
namely, to press on to the relief Of
the besieged garrison at Pekin. This
was made known after an extended
communication between Washington
and the president at Canton. The
Conger dispatch was accepted as
showing conclusive justification Of
the imperative demand the United
States sent to the Chinese govern
ment on Wednesday night, insisting
that the imperial troops cooperate
with the international forces in the
rescue of the ministers, and, until this
condition, as well as the cessation OF
the bombardment, is fully conceded
by China there is no other course open
but to press steadily onward on the
mission OF relief. The text OF the
message, as given out by the state
department, is as follows:
Secretary OF State, Washington
The Tsung Ii Yamen states to the
diplomatic body that the various
foreign governments have repeatedly
asked, through their respective Chi
nese ministers, that we Immediately
depart from Pekin under suitable es-
cort. The yamen ask us to fix a date
for our departure, and to make the
necessary arrangements to do so.
Our reply Is that we will seek in
structions from our governments,
and that in the absence OF instruc-
tions, we cannot quit our posts. /
must inform you that In order to in
sure our safe departure, foreign
troops only can safely escort us, and
they must be in sufficient force to
safely guard 500 foreigners, including
200 women and children, as well rs
5000 native Christians who cannot
be abandoned to certain massacre.
We cannot accept a Chinese escort
under any circumstances. All my
colleagues are dispatching the fore
going to their respective govern
ments. or the American marines
seven have been killed and sixteen
wounded, among the latter Captain
Myers and DR.. Lippett, who are get
ting along well. CoNGER."
This message is undated, but it il
supposed to have been sent on or
after the 5th OF August.
A discussion with the president led
to the determination to reply to the
Conger message at once and Secretary
Root and Acting Secretary Adee con-
ferred on the terms Of this reply. The

gave further details of the taking Of
Yang Tsun. According to the Daily
Mails correspondent, the attack was
led by the Americans and British.
The Chinese position consisted of
seven lines OF entrenchments. The
enemy fell back from one position to
another, until at the last line they
fled towards Pekin completely de-
moralized. The Chinese say they re-
treated because the British poured
poison" into their troops. This re-
fers to lyddite shells, which the Chi
nese experienced for the first time.
The correspondent adds that the
British casualties were 80 and the
American loss %, but this latter esti-
mate does not agree with General
Chaffee's report.
