fraught with situation and incident, it affords a

NEWS FROM THE FAR EAST
SUSPICIOUS OF II HUNG CHANG.
REQUESTS FRANCE TO REPLACE NJ. PICHON.
WHO, HE SAYS, IS ILL

Paris, Oct. 23.-At a Cabinet council to-day
NJ. Delcasse, the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
announced that the Ministers Of the Powers at
Peking met recently TO examine semi officially
the French propositions as a basis for peace ne
gotiations and showed themselves favorable
thereto.
There is considerable mystery regarding the
health of the French Minister at Pel1ing, NJ.
Pichon. The French Government has received
through the Chinese Minister here a cable mes
sage from Ii Hung Chang saying NJ. Pichon is
sick and suggesting that the French Govern
nent appoint another Plenipotentiary. NJ. Del
casse having received the same day dispatch
from M Pichon, which did not refer to his
health, considers that Ii Hung Chang's sugges-
ton is open to suspicion, and has cabled to NJ.
Pichon on the subject. The latter's reply has
not yet been received.
The Temps" which is a seni-official organ,
under London date, said:
The belief in diplomatic circles is that the
Anglo German agreement is purely mutual
guarantee against either country seizing the
Yangtse-Kiang Valley. Germany even If not
in an economic crisis, is at least in serious en-
barrassments owing to considerable overproduc-
ton brought about by the enormous industrial
machinery which she has created at a great cost.
She therefore, seeking commercial outlets, cast
her eyes on China, and especially on the Yang
tse-Kiang Valley, and fearing England might
attempt to seize the Yangtse-K -Kiang Valley she
signed the published agreement. Diplomats are
convinced that no secret clause exists. The third
article applies to the eventuality Of Russia def
initely seizng Manchuria- in which case Ger
many and England would divide the Yangtse-
Kiang Valley. But there reasons to believe
this will not occur, because Russia is deter
mined not to seize Manchura-
London, Oct 23-The officials Of the British
Foreign ONCE say the Anglo German agreement
will not affect Russia's railroad concessions in
Nanchuria They point out that the object Of
the agreement is the upholding Of the integrity
Of China without reference to the arrangements
of the Powers regarding the construction Of rail-
roads in China.

as to how New-York State and the country at

very prosperous, taking the State at large. The
last season has been the best have had at
our summer resorts and our timber interests have
increased amazingly in value in the last few years
Locally, however, business is rather dun. In
Augusta. for instance. in what we call the street
trade, there is the regular business of the citizens
which be depended on regularly and upon which
the shopkeepers base their estimates. The trade Of
the farmers is the uncertain quantity. and what
they of this the stOrekeepers regard as

had drouths. and have been buying hardly at all.
