Fears for the MinIsters.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE gravest
apprensions are felt here in official
circles for the safety of the imprisoned
ministers in Pekin. The alleged state
ment of Ii Hung Chang that it is alb
solutely impossible for the allies to
enter Pekin to escort the ministers to
Tien Tsln adds greatly to the strain of
the situation. 1t clearly implies the
purpose of the Chinese government to
resist the advance. So far as is known
there is no present prospect of calling
halt in the movement against Pekin.

Louisville. Nov. S.-With returns
from all but 80 out of 1SS precincts in
Kentucky, the CourierJournal puts
Bryan's majority at 5000 and Beck

result. The republicans now claim
majorities will be shown for Mckinley

canvasses the vote at Frankfort. which
it will do three weeks from election

cratic and the Legislature also demo-
cratic.

WAR OVER CHINA PROBABLE.
Russia VIII Take Steps to Protect Her
Railroad Interests at All Hazard.

New York. Nov. S.-Danger in the
negotiations now in progress in Picking
will. it is believed. be encountered
when Russia takes formal steps in the
protection of her railroad interests in
Northern China, says a Washington
dispatch.
Under article 3 of the Anglo-Ger-
man agreement Great Britr'n and Ger
many reserve to themselves the right
to take such measures for the protec-
ton of their own interests as may
seem advisable, interpreting the move
of any other power to suit their own
views.
1t is thought possible that any steps
taken by Russia to insure the safety
of her railroad interests may be re-
garded by the signatories of the Anglo
German agreement as cause for the
seizure OF territory in the Yang-tre.
Kiang valley, and in the province OF
Shang Tung.
In view of this possibility there has
been considerable talk at Washington
of the organization of a combination
to prevent any such move. the parties
to it being Russia. France and the Uni
ter States. 1t can be stated on high
authority that 10 understanding has
been reached between Russia, France
and the United States and Japan to
counterpoise the Anglo-German agree
ment.
There is apparently no intention on
the part Of the government to enter in.
to an alliance with any power.

Harrisburg. Pa, Nov. Sit is fgur-

According to these figures the Quay
republicans have only three votes
above the 1913 necessary to organize
the house.

Quay republicans IL, democrats 10.

in this enviable position time a call
ed. In the second half the Golden mel
! got into the game with a great dea
more confidence and the result was
that they simply rushed the Boulder
men off their feet. The Boulder ends
which under Folsom, were always the
strongest part of the team. were cir
cled again and again for good, substan
tial gains, and the light men from Col
den simply punctured the heavy Boul
der line.
The defeat of Boulder and the abso
lutely wretched showing which Colora
do college made against Washburn and
Denver Wheel club has filed the min
ers with strong hopes that they Will
be able to walk off with the %intercol-
legiate championship this year. BY
comparative scores the college team
has shown itself much better than the
miners, but the strong hold of the col
lcge appears to be running away from
an inferior team and when it gets up
against a hard team it simply quits.
1t is certain now hat the miners will
go into the game with the college team
determined to win, and it should have
a walkover. as it does not look ven
possible for the college boys to make
a team before the big game.
D. A. c. a Winner.
Even after the remarkable show
which the Wheel club made against
Colorado college, the dopers' guide
picks d. A. C. a winner over the wheel
men. The wheelmen showed good
form in the game with a light college
team and played a fast. snappy game
and could have run up a score of so to
0 Just as well as 80 to 0. The eleven
has good team work and the backs go
into the game with a vim and a dash
that carries the ball ahead, but it is
evident that II the wheelmen win they
must do so by the aid Of some sensa-
tional runs by the fast backs. Against
a sucker team the work of fast backs
always looms up in good form. but

will, II anything, outweigh them. Be-
sides this. the athletes have a very ag-
gressive line and nothing is more dis

and interfering with plays. Most Of

Concerning the football situation in

Denver Times has this to say
The football situation in Colorado
has, If anything, assumed a more COM
plicated condition as a result of the
games played on election day and the
dope artist has a hard task ahead Of
him to make predictions on what the
outcome will be. The big game in Den
yer was between Colorado college and
the Denver Wheel club, and the fact
thai the athletic team had a walkover
was no surprise. as it was generally
conceded that the Denver team would
win over the college boys by a score
Of at least 80 to 0. The big surprise
came with the victory of the miners
of Golden owe the strong eleven from
the state university and predictions
on the outcome of the contest for SUI
premacy in the intercollegiate league
must now be made on a new basis.

Boulder was so confident of winning
that game and so filled her supporters

the team went onto the field a 10 to 4
favorite. with no takers at that figure.

it was announced that Boulder had

game, the odds offered on the state uni

Golden won, and the score of II tc
