Washington, Aug. 26.-The diplomatic
feature OF the Chinese situation Saturday
took precedence over both the naval and
military features. The officials OF this
government were, if anything, more un-
communicative tnan heretofore as to the re-
authoritatiyely that no news OF Importance
had been received, and that the diplomatic
negotiations could not be made pubic.
The most unsatisfactory Developments
OF the day, SO far as the pacific program OF
tnls government goes, was the receipt OF
dispatch from Admiral Remey conveying
the reports which had reached him OF a
disagreement between the commander of
the russian forces in Pekin and the other
internationals The text of this dispatch
was not made, public, but it was sad on
good authority to contain the statement
that the Russian commander had forbidden
communication with the Chinese on the
ground that Russia was technically as
well as practically at war with China.
1t may be said that the information was
not conveyed by Admiral Remey as ofli-
cial news, but merely as report from re-
liable sources which he considered this
government should possess for its own in
formation
Assuming Admiral Remey's report to be
correct, this move on the part of Russia
strikes the first note of discord in the
heretofore harmonious concert of the
powers. 1t may be said, however, that
the news is not taken very seriously by
this government and certainly will not
affect our course in any way until it has
been officially confirmed.
1t was explained that the situation
growing out OF the joint occupation of
Pekin by the powers was delicate, g.
though not necessarily to be described as
serious. The international powers there
were reported at least antagonistic, and
an ill-considered move on the part of any
one government might easily entail dis
agreeable consequences in which all would
be more or less involved. At the same
time it was explained that all of the gov
ernments represented in China were
anxious TO avert any open clash if this
could be done without sacrificing what
! they considered their rights in the prem
ises. In tbs situation the United States
/ occupied the position it has held all

of the college have met and selected
a president of the prep association
and appointed a committee to select
colors and pins which they will
wear. According to the recent rules
made by the sophs and freshmen,
the props are not allowed to wear
the college colors and pins, SO they
have decided to have ornaments and
insignias of their own and travel by
themselves. This action of the pre-

Over Half Million is available for the
Locks and Dams between this Place
and FairmOnt.

Chairman Burton Of the river and
harbor committee has received from
General Wilson, chief of Engineers,
U. S. A., a statement of the funds
available on the first of the year for
the river and harbor works through
out the country. Among the items
for West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania are two for the Monongahela.
La the former we get $5S7, 397 and in
the Keystone state they get S37, 67S.
The amount appropriated for West
Virginia comes as the result of bill
passed when it was decided to lock
and dam the river from this place TO
Fairmont. This is being done on the
continuous contract system and the
money is paid over from time to time
but Congress has no option in the
matter.
1t is not known whether or not any
more will be appropriated this winter.
There is disposition to cut down the
amount that is to be given us and we
may not get any. However strong
effort is being made to place the mat
ter before them ia its strongest light
and they may be persuaded to do
something.

GERS have dropped down in Harrison
county and are making the survey

1t is learned from good sources
however that they are getting ready
for another line which will connect
with the roads on the other side of
the river and make short line from
central West Virginia to the Lakes.
This line would be the shortest that
could be built between the two
points. The Short Line is being
pushed rapidly and will be ready to
do business before very many
months.
The road between Belington and
Clarksburg has been let to contract
and it will be built this summer.
This will add another link to the
net work of tracks that are running
into Clarksburg which is fast becom

which is to go down the west side Of
