TRADITIONAL PRACTICE.
The State Department Would Not
Depart From 1t in Publish
ing Its Answers.
WILL Be GIVEN OUT SUNDAY MORNING.
what IL Has Had to Say to Russia
and France, to Prince Ching, ana,
Incidentally to the Rest OF the
Allied Powers VIII Then BIO MADE
Public.

Washington, Sept. 3s.-The state de-
partment decided to defer until Sum
day morning the publication of the an
swers it has returned to the various
powers relative to the Chinese situa-
ton. This is done from a desire to
carry out the traditional practice of
the department, which allows 4S
hours to alapse after the delivery Of
q note, before making it public in our
own country, even though publication
may have been made abroad before
that time.
Forecast of the Answers.
There 10 no reason to change the
estimate of the note already formed,
to the effect that it amounts to .
declination of the German PROPOSE
ton and provides for the reduction Of
the United States military contingent
in China to strong legation guard,
Just sufficient to insure the safety of
the legation in the event Of a recur-
renee of rioting in Pel1in, or the safe
withdrawal of the minister TO Tien
Tsin or some other convenient port.
1t is not intended that the military
force shall be employed in further Of
fensive operations.
Order Not Yet Issued.
The order for the reduction of the
military force under Gen. Chaffee has
not yet been issued, but IL is admit
ted at the war department that it
may go forward at any moment. Sec
rotary Root already has stated that
preliminary orders were sent to Gen.
Chaffee, fully two weeks ago, direct
ing him just how to act in case he
should receive orders to withdraw
completely or partially from China,
and it is expected that he has per-
fected his arrangements and selected
the organizations which are to re-
main.
Disposition of the Marines.
The considerable force of marines,
numbering about 1000 In all, which
have been operating under Gen.
Chaffee's command, are to be taken
from Taku to Cavite. Some of the
number will be left aboard those YES
sells of Admiral Remey's command,
which sent part of their marine con-
tingents to help out the first military
expedition against Pel1in, and have.
not, so far, recovered them. The re-
mainder will be afforded a period of
rest and recreatation at Cavite.

by bears breaking into his cornfeld,

followed the intruder over the fence
and to the woods. calling to his sons
and their dogs to join in the chase,
which they did, but before their ar
rival George had caught up with the
bear, and had a personal difficulty, in
which he was slapped over, had an
arm broken and was severely bitten
and scratched. Tho chase was con-

spOnd to Marching Orders.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 22.-The
Ninth regiment, N. G. p, Col. Dough-
erly commanding, is under waiting
orders here. Fourteen cars, on a sid
ing near the Lehigh Valley railroad
station, are in readiness to carry the
troops to any point. The regiment
can be modified by signals in few
hours. 1t is not believed, however,
that the regiment will be ordered
to the Schuylkill region, but will
be held in readiness here in case of
an outbreak nearer home. Gen. Cor
bin does not think it would be good
policy to take the Ninth and Thir-
teenth regiments out of the Luzerne
and Lackawanna regions.

been compelled to actually do manual
labor for living. This is something
that be has not been used to. His
