THE CHINESE MIDDLE
1othing New in the Diplomatic
Situation, 1t Is Said.
THB ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA IN CHINA.


Berlin, Oct. 17.-The Frankfurter
Zeitung prints telegram from
Shanghai which says that Emperor
Kwang Su has arrived at sianfu. The
foreign Office has no official informa-
ton OF the whereabouts of the Chi
nese court.
A high official of the foreign office,
discussing the general situation yes
terday afternoon, said: "There is
absolutely nothing new in the diplo-
matte situation. We have received no
information as to the alleged diff
culties encountered by Count Won
Waldersee in getting all the allies to
recognize his authority, but it lies in
the very nature of the case that he
would meet with some trouble in
bringing them all under one hat"
No credence is given to the state
ment cabled from the United States
by way of London that Emperor
Kwang Su is going to Pekin under
American protection.
The German papers, which until
now, have been treating the reports
Of increasing ferment in southern
China as exaggerations, have suddenly
changed their tone, recognizing the
seriousness of the movement there.
The recall of the Marquis Ito to the
premiership Of Japan attracts atten.
tion, since he has always represented
the idea OF an alliance between Japan
and China and is known to be friend
~ to China.
Ku.sia's Attitude In China
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE cable
dispatch from St. Petersburg indicat-
ing that Russia's attitude in China
win be independent of the concert OF
the powers caused no surprise among
officials here. II was noted when
the aggressive military movement was
begun by Germany and the expedi-
ton against Paotingfu started that
Russia was among the powers which
did not join in the movement The
dispatch from st. Petersburg is looked
upon as merely another step similar
TO TINT taken when Russia withheld
support from the Paotingfu expedi'
ton and other aggressive military
moves. Moreover, it is regarded as
quite in consonance with the pacific
tendencies of this government, which
have been directed oil along to secur-
ing a settlement by diplomatic means
rather than by the sword.
The southern Rebellion Spreading.
London, Oct. 17.-Hong Kong dis
patches tell OF the continued spread
OF the southern rebellion. The Hong
Kong correspondent Of the Daily Ex-
press sends report that the British
torpedo boat destroyer Handy sheled
1000 rebels who were advancing on
San Chun, killing 40 and wounding
hundreds.
The evidence Of Prince Tuan's con-
tinuance In power causes anxiety.
Shanghai kilograms report that the
local mandarins have received dis
patch from Prince Tuan announcing
that the court is now in safe keeping
and exorting them to have patience
until winter decmates the allies, to
keep the arsenals in constant work
and Everything IN readiness for
massacre of all foreigners when the
proper time arrives"

RULES FOR THE couRsERs.
How Racing Dogs Will Be- Judged at
the Coming Meet.

-" ~No s'V6s WAL ~ suu6ev
the Coming Meet.
For the benefit Of those who are no
familiar with with coursing rules
points, etc., we quote the following
condensed form, to be used at th,
meet here next week:
!. DO not make noise, and wher
the dogs are slipped stand still.
2. Remember that no one is al
lowed to follow the dogs except TIT
Judge.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
|. The top dog on the card will
run under the red and the lower doc
under the white.
2. When a course is an sun
decided" the judge will display bott
the red and the white flags; when it i,
a "no-course," he will take off biz
hat.
SCORE OF POINTS.
l. Speed-Which shall BE esti
mated as one, two or three points
according to the degree Of superiority
shown.
|. Where in the run-up a cleal
lead is gained by one Of the dogs, ir
which case one, two or three points
may be given, according to the
length OF the lead apart from tht
score for turn or a wrench.
Ill. When one greyhound leads the
other so long as the hare runs
straight, but loses the lead from bel
bending round decidedly in favor Of
the slower dog of her own accord, In
which case the one greyhound shall
score one point for speed shown, and
the other greyhound shall score one
for the first turn.
III. Under no circumstances Il
speed without subsequent work to be
allowed to decide a course, excep,
where great superiority is shown BY
one greyhound over another in long
lead to covert.
". II a dog, after gaining the
first six points, still keeps possession
Of the hare by superior speed, be
shall have double the prescribed al.
lowance for the subsequent points
made before his opponent began to
score.
2. The Go-by-Two points, or il
gained on the outer circle, three
points. The CODY is where one
greyhound starts clear length be-
hind bis opponent, and yet passes
him in straight run, and gets clear
length behind his opponent, and yet
passes him in straight run, and
gets a clear length before him.
8. The Turn-One point. The
Turn is where the hare is brought
round at less than right angle from
her previous line.
4. The Wrench-Half point. The
Wrench is where the hare is bent
from her line at less than a right
angle; but where she only leaves her
line to suit herself, and not from the
greyhounds pressing her, nothing is
to be allowed.
5. The Kill-Two points, or in a
descending scale in proportion to the
degree Of merit displayed in that kill,
which may be Of no value. The mer.
it OF q kill must be estimated accord
ing to whether a greyhound, by his
own superior dash and skill, bears
the hare; whether he picks her up
through any little accidental circum-
stances favoring him; or whether she
is turLed into bis mouth, as it we're
by the other greyhound.
6. The Trip-One point. The
Trip, or an unsuccessful effort to kill,
is where the hare is thrown off her
legs, or where a greyhound catches
her but cannot hold her.

THE YOUTSEY TRIAL


Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 17.-lf Henry
Youtsey heard word uttered in his
trial Monday he gave not the slight
est indication Of it by any movement
Of the hands, the head, eyes or lips.
So far as any one in the court room
could tell he never uttered a word all
day, He was the unconscious actor
In another realistic scene yesterday
afternoon, when he was brought into
the court room, proper, lying on his
bed. His eyes and mouth were tight
ly closed and he looked every whit a
dead man when Col. Nelson, his law
yer, in loud voice asked him how
old he was and where he lived, The
defense presented some strong testi-
mony contradictory of the prosecu-
tion witnesses and say they have
something stronger for to-day, when
they expect to rest their case.
Jim Howard will go on the stand
and swear that Youtscy did net let
him in Powers Office that morning
and that he was not even in the build
ing. Youtsey's symptoms We're worse
yesterday. His temperature increased
and his pulse was greatly accelerated
The physicians think he is in no inn
mediate danger, but u sudden change
for the worse may come at any time.

Washington, Oct. 11.-John b.
Long, secretary of the navy, has
written u letter for publication in
the Harvard Republican, the organ of
the republican students at Harvard
college, in which he discusses at
length some of the political questions
now pending before the American
people. In his opinion the effort by
the democratic leaders to make "im.
perialism' the paramount issue of
the campaign failed. 1t failed, he
says, because Imperialism was seized
npon to divert public attention from
the real issue Of the campaign, switch
is Organism against the record
achievement and outlook of the pres
ent republican administration"

A Pertinent Enquiry.

WHEELING, w. Va, July II, 1900.
To the Editor OF the Register.
Sir.--I see by the evening paper that
the City Assessor has completed his
work in six districts. What surprises
me is the fact that in Washington dis
trict there are but six colored voters
and in Madison. the dark belt, produces
the same number OF colored voters,
namely, six. In Centre only one lone
colored brother exists; IN Union there
appears TO be none, Webster also shows
clear white. Now, on the day Of cleo
ton where does the cloud OF eolored
men come from? Why are they not
found when the Assessor is around ?
Please answer. ENQUIRER.

POLITICAL PROMISES.

In haranguing the people on politics. Mr..
Mark Hanna calls the attention of the
working men to the full dinner pail and
tells them to let well enough alone. Mr..
Bryan, on the contrary. says that it is
refectior on the working man to tell him
that he should be content with full
dinner pail that he should not be willing
Let Well enough alone" is a coWardlS,
saving q man never Knows whether or
not he is doing well enough until he tries
TO do better. We agree with Mr. Bryan
that the whole life is not meat and drink
and that it is the duty Of every citizen
to strive as hard as he can to improve
his condition. However, there is some
thin,. to be said against Mr. Bryan's
argument. Every man.. especially every
man who has family to provide for,
should be cautious in his cndeavor to
improve his condition. He should not
recklessly swap 4 certainty for bare eX-
pertinent He should exercise his common
sense and judgment III making change
and by weighing the facts and discussing
the pros and cons with himself determine
as to whether or not the change which.
he contemplates gives reasonable promise
of success Mind you, we are not saying
that in casting his vote, a citizen should
consider only the question Of his material
welfare. But we do say that If a citizen
is going to consider that question, on cleo
ton day, he should take a rational view
and not suffer himself to be deceived by
visionary promises.
1t is all right for Mr.. Bryan to urge the
plain citizen to improve his condition, to
look higher than the dinner pail, but
whether Intentionally so or not, Mr.. Bryan
makes the impression on the plain citizens
legislation rather than by his own personal
exertions in the activities of life Mr..
Bryan is holding out the hope, to all such
men, that if he is elected he is going TO
calls trusts, and is going 10 reyolutionize
the entire industrial system to the benefit
Of the plain people.
However sincere Mr.. Bryan may be in
to make such glittering promises. He
protests too much, and if he is elected
the people who have trusted him will see
it. His bountiful promises will no more
tons. made in 1885, fulfilled.

for supporting Palmer "a Their than Bryan.
and that he has no apologies to make for
his course in that election because he be-
1Ieved then and still believes tina the
election Of BRYAN at that time would have
been great calamity to the country.
But he does not now believe that EBrSan's
election would bring upon the country all
Inc evils threatened IN 1885, He does not
think that there is any danger of free
silver. because 1t is reasonably certain
that the Senate will be Republican Tor
the next few wears and will block any at
.emnt TO mass a free coinage bill. In
short. Prof Dsbney thinks that Mr. Bryan
is not as dangerous as he was in 1886,
and that he will be power!ess in The event
of his election to do much harm, even Ii
he is dangerous.
More remarkable than this Prof. Dabney
saws that he is not entirely certain that
Bryan himself believes in free silver any
more than Mckinley did when, in former
days. he protested to-do so. Upon what
Prof Dabney bases this belief we do not
know Only a few days ago Mr.. Bryan
said in his speech delivered in New York
that his position on the silver question
had not changed and that he would not
alter his position for the sake OF catching
votes
If prof Dabney is correct in his opinion
of Bryan, if Bryan doth not, in fact, and
from the bottom of his heart, believe in
the free silver at the ratio of s1s to /, he
is a miserable pretender and llypoerite'
and is unworthy of the support of any
honest man.
Well may Mr.. Bryan exclaim: Save
me from my newly found friends
