a TRIPLE ALLIANCE,
Russia, France and Germany Agree on
Course of Action Regarding Chi
nese Affairs.

Berlin, July 19.-Count Won Buelow
has succeeded in allaying the suspi-
cions of Russia aroused by Emperor
Williams recent speeches and by 9TH
er facts, and an entente regarding fu-
ture action in China has been reached
by Russia, Germany and France.
The foreign secretary convinced
Russia that Germany would in no.
wise interfere with her plans in Man
churia and northern China, as we'll rs
Korea, and that Germany harbors no
desire of territorial aggrandizement.
Russia, on her part, agrees not to
interfere with Germany's trade in
Russia's sphere of influence in China
after order has been re-established.
The first result of this understand
ing has been the issuance of strict or
ders by the Russian censorship to
omit henceforth all hostile press crit
icism regarding Germany's action in
China.
Speaking about the Chinese arma-
mcnts, the Kreuz Zeitung says: Brit
ish manufacturers of arms are now
selling weapons to the Chinese and
they will continue to do so until the
Indignation of the world stops them.
Germany, Immediately after the out
break of hostilities, issued a prohibit
tion of the export of arms to China,
but Mr.. Chamberlain and the entire
British cabinet favor such export
even now, and we may point for proof
to the recent debate in the British
parliament on the subject"

YERKES FOR GOVERNOR.
Republicans of Kentucky Nominate n
Candidate for the Highest Office In


Louisville, Ky, July 1S.-John w.
Itrkes, of Danville, was yesterday
nominated for governor by the repub-
iican convention held in this city.
\ platform was adopted declaring
the issue of the election to be the
GOebel election law. The convention
adjourned within three hours. There
were some anti-Goebel democrats in
the convention, but as to how many,
figures differ. In the Shelby county
delegation there were, according to a
statement made from the platform, 10
democrats. \ feature of the speeches
made was that they all paid tributes
to what the democratic party has
done in the past, though the speakers
unsparingly denounced the present
democratic state administration and
the democratic legislature, thus indi-
eating n purpose to welcome into the
republican party all democrats who
are opposed to the Goebel election
law.
There was no nomination to be
made by this convention except for
governor, as this years election in
kentucky is an extra ordinary one to
fill the vacancy in the governorship
made by the death of William Goebel.

OUT IN THE GOLD.
American Athletes Fare Badly at the
Hands Of Handicappers for Long

Paris. July 20.-The manner in
which the American athletes had been
sweeping the field in the international
games in connection with the Paris
exposition opened the eyes of the or
ganizers. and the result was shown in
the handicapping yesterday, which
practically left the Americans out IN
the cold. The effect upon the Ameri-
cans v-as demonstrated by the fact
that. whereas, on the previous days
they had secured four-tifths of the
games. Yesterday out of nine events
they captured only one first, with
four seconds and five thirds.
The feature of the days program
was the 25-mile Marathon foot race.
The first and second prizes, valued at
1000 and 250 francs respectively, were
the gifts of an American silver manu-
featuring company, the first being
large silver loving cup and the second
one somewhat smaller.
The race, a trying one under any
conditions, threw an exceptional
strain upon the contestants, owing to
a blazing sun that poured upon their
heads throughout the run, and, of the
13 who entered, only seven were able
to finish.
The result was victory for
Frenchman, Theatre Michel, and his
compatriots celebrated their first anu
only win in the sports with character
iatic enthusiasm. French spectators
invaded the track and carried Michel
around on their shoulders, while their
cheers resounded across the grounds.
