1MERICA IN CHINA.
A German yieyy-Great Credit Undoubt-
 edJy Due This Country.

Berlin, Aug. 2-The National Z5itung in a leading article on America in Chi na'' says: 'If the movement upon Pe- kin has now really begun America un- doubtedly deserves great credit. Imme~ diately after the first direct news from MT Conger, the United States minister, was received--a communication firmly regarded at all times in Washington as authentic-Mr. Hay insisted with all earnestness that MT. Congers cry for help absolutely demanded speedy relief. It even seemed for awhile that the American secretary of state entertain ed the thought of sending a purely American expedition to Pekin if neces- sary"
 The paper is gratified at President McKinley's refusal to accept u Hung Changs offer to deliver MT. Congcr if the American expedition is counter manded. It thinks, however, that Washington's China policy has been wavering and it explains this as due to the exigences of the presidential cam paign and to the presence of the Chi nese themselves in the United States
 The Kreuz Zeitung has an article on the same subject. Assuming that the United States is still ready to mediate, this journal remarks: Tt would be a brilliant electioneering coup if Presi- dent McKinley's administration could come forward as the preserver of the worlds peace. With it's separable role the administration would draw nearer the goal which American conceit of greatness is already striving for name- ly, American hegemony in the Pacific This goal is not one to be reached cas- fly, but the prospect can do President McKinley's party good service in the coming election.'

NEGRO NOW DISFRANCHISED
RESULT OF THE ERECTION IN
 NORTH CAROLINA.
for the Practical Elimination of the Negro from Politics Carried by Over 10000 Majority-Some Negroes Voted for It--FuH Democratic Vote.

Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 2.-The elec- ton in North Carolina to-day was for governor and state officers, members of the legislature and county officers and an amendment to the state constitution looking to the practical elimination of the negro from politics, as adoption of it would disfranchise the bulk of the negro vote
 By far the greatest interest centered in the fight over the amendment. A great many negroes voted for it to-day. It was opposed by the fusion forces, headed by Sepators Butler and Pritch- ard. The campaign was the bitterest in the state since reconstruction days. There was a full poll of the democratic strength, aided by a small negro vote and some populist and republican votes. Returns tonight indicate that the amendment was carried by over 4O,0oO majority. Spencer B. Adams, fusion nominee for governor, was defeated by Charles B. Aycock, democratic nominee, by fully 40,O00 majority. All the other democrats were elected by equal major ities. The legislature is democratic in both branches. The election through out the state was generally quiet, the negroes generally remaining away from the polls.
 At il o'clock tonight Democratic Chairman Simmons said: 'I think we have a safe majority of 50,o00 and at least four-fifths of the legislature. The returns so far are most satisfactory and contain no surprises"

AGAINST CHlNA'S PARTITION
ATTITUDE OF THE BRITISH COZ
 ERNMENT DECL1RED.
Statement i'm the Commons No Reason to Believe That Britain is at Variance With Any European Power i'm the Matter-Great Changes, However, May Result from Recent CaIamitous Events Question of Indemnity.
Question of Indemnity.


 Question of Indemnity.
 London, Aug. 2.-In the house of commons to-day MT. Brodrick, parlia- mentary under secretary for the for eign office, said the cabinet was com- pletely unanimous against partition of China, which would be fraught with in- finite danger and the government had no reason to believe they were at vari- ance with any of the European powers in that respect. Further the govern- ment would do nothing to set up any, thing but Chinese administration in China. The government had not in contemplation the idea of organizing the Chinese army under foreign officers. What form the indemnity should take must be left for future consideration. MT. Brodrick thought it was time when the less said the better. Great changes might result from the recent calamitous events, but he hoped the European pow CTS would discover some foundation upon which to build up Chinese gov ernment which would ensure civilizing rule to a population forming one-third of the human race.
 MT. Brodriek's statement placing Great Britain on record as unalterably opposed to the partition of China is we'll received by all the morning papers, which, for lack of other news, confi- dently devote their comments on Dr. Morrison's remarkable message to the Times cabled yesterday to the United States.

Forces Not Fully Equipped.

London, Aug. 2.--In the house of com- mons this afternoon. replying to a question Mr. Brodrick, under secretary of the foreign office, said although large forces were now at Tien Tsin they were not yet fully armed and equipped. As far as he was able to judge at present there was no lack of cooperation.
 In giving the daily record of steps the government had taken with view to rescuing the legations, MT. Brodrick stated that on July the government proffered financial assistance to Japan with the special object of relieving the legations. The government, he said, would press forward by every means in their power to the relief of the lega- tions In the Yang Tse sphere British ships and forces would assist the vice. roys, but must limit their undertakings to the defence of Shanghai. The gov- ernment had thought it wise to order third brigade from India, in readiness for possible emergencies
 Replying to query by Sir Ellis Ash mead Bartlett as to whether the forces of Great Britain and Japan were pre- pared to advance in strength on Pekin, and who is commanding the allies, Mr. Brodrick said he had no fresh informa- tion to communicate.
 Replying to another question, MT. Brodrick said that report reached the admiralty on Tuesday, July 31. from Rear Admiral Bruce, stating that al- though Rear Admiral Kempff of the United States navy attended the coun- cl of admirals before the attack on Taku, he was unable to take any &C., tion because he had received no au- thoriZatton from Washington to do so

Doubtful About Advance

Washington, Aug. 2.-It is not be- 1ieved at the war department that an advance has been made as yet from Tien Tsin It is explained that the last dispatches indicated a great deal of delay in unloading the transports and before any advance can be made the troops must have all their equipments and transportation for them. The in- dcations are that the plans being ma- tured at Tien Tsin contemplate rapid advance when the movement begins, for 1t seems to be understood that there will be carried with the army suffi- cient quantity of supplies to maintain the troops on the march to Pekin and return, if a return should be advisable. The fact that no reports were received from General Chaffee during the day was not surprising to the war depart ment officials, who said that the gen. eral was busy preparing for the cam
 paign and moreover communication be- tween Taku and Che Foo is uncertain.

THE REPORTER BREscI USED.
Paterson Dealer About Certain He Sold
 the Weapon.

l New York, Aug. 2.-C. D. Florum, pro-
 prietor of a store in Paterson, N. J., thinks he sold the revolver with which 1 Bresci killed King Humbert to the as-
 sassin, late in April or early in May.
 He recollects the sale, he says, and so
 does his wife Florum says the sale of
 the revolver to Bresci fixed itself upon 1 his mind, because whereas the average l Italian haggles about the price of 8 weapon Bresci immediately paid the price asked He said he wanted good revolver ito shoot dog with" and picked out a five-cbambered 32-calibre double acting weapon made in Worces- ter, Mass, having on it the name of the firm and the date of the patent, October i, 1887. Mrs. Florum says that Bresci appeared to be of better class than the Italians who usually patronize
 MT. Florum to the belief that Bresci
 purchased the weapon referred to. Rome, Aug. 3.-A man suspected of
 being an accomplice of Bresci was ar rested yesterday at a railway station
 here He had recently arrived from the
 United States and will be sent to Mon

 Humbert has not been found Count
 Brambilla has arrived in Rome to con- tinue the search which Is retarding the arrn tS far Ina f11pnpnl
 According to declarations made to the Milan police by persons who witnessed the assas asslnation of King Humbert, and especially the kings footmen, four or five wearing around their necks black handkerchiefs such as Bresci wore, wee seen around the royal carriage at the time fthe crime. After it was con- mitted they began shouting evidently to increase the confusion and to help Bresci escape.
 Il Corriere Della Italia says the police have discovered that a huge plot was formed in America to murder King Humbert, and that his assassination was to be followed by similar crimes throughout Euroje. Another discovery is that Bresci last Sunday entered the royal chapel of the cillae during mass evidently with the intention of assassin ating Humbert if he were there
 Brussels, Aug. 2.---Lal Reforma says an inquiry has been opened at Antwerp regarding a young woman who married an Italian in New York In December, 1897, giving the name Tcinaso or To- mato Cariceli, whom she believes iden- tical with the assassin Of King Hum bert.
