Passenger association; that is, lines lead

Orleans have advised positively that they
will not participate in these rates. The
usual certificate plan conditions are
waived and the following instructions will
be observed: One way tickets to New

1t will be noted that while the Southern

by some lines are not effective until the

Yesterday kilograms we're flying thickly
into the passenger agents offices asking
how about it?" The Southern Pacific had
made big scoop and rival lines were on
the anxious seat.
The Southern Pacific officials. wncr
asked what lines were participating east
of the river, or as to how the differentia
would be absorbed. simply smiled. Pas
senger Traffic Manager Morse of the
Southern Pacific, when approached by a
Post reporter, stated that it was the
policy of HIS CON pany. and one which
would be adhered to. to make no discrim-

patrons. New York merchants were lib

were given the advantage of just ant

all there is to it. New York. according t
Mr.. Morse, is as much entitled to con

which does a big business In Texas.
Incidentally. it may be stated that thi
is the first concession ever granted thu

FEELING OF SUSPENSE.

Campaign in China Rapidly Approaching
Critical Stage.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The state de-
partment at noon received a cipher
cable message from Mr.. Conger at Pc
kin. 1t was forwarded by the Chinese
authorities to Minister Wa here, who
promptly communicated it to the state
department. Mr.. Adee, the acting sec
retary Of state, Immediately consulted
Secretary Root. No statement was
made as to the contents of the mes
sage. 1t was conjecturetl to be reply
to the last dispatch OF the state depart
2nent to Minister Congor, but the Off
cials refused to make its contents pub
lie.
There was an atmosphere Of acute
suspense in the state, war and navy de-
partments through the early hours of
the day. It is generally recognized
that the campaign in China is rapidly
approaching =, critical stage. The latest
News From the American Advance,
which inferentially included the forces
of Great Britain, Japan and Russia,
made it seem probable that the word
"Pekin" might be flashed over the
wires at any moment. The lnterna
tional advance guard, arguing from the
progress it already has made, must DC
by this time close to the point on the
road where China will elect to make
her last stand in defense Of her capital
unless at the last moment she choose
| the part of discretion and comes to th'
terms already laid down by the United
States and tacitly agreed to by thi
other powers Thus the officials here
momentarily are expecting one of tW'
things, either diplomatic baclsdoWl
on the part of China, which will meal
few days more Of fencing and nego
tiations before an armed escort is ad
mitted to Pekin, or else the news from
General Chaffee that he has encoun
tered strong opposition at Ching Cha
Wan or Tung Chow, two Of the larSes
cities between Tien Tsln and Pekln.

Tins. tor every one OF these China
must pay sufficient sum to keep their
families from want during their lives.
This government will exact assurances
of a satisfactory character that such II
state of affairs as now exists in China
shall not again occur. The nature of
these assurances will be determined
later. The collection of indemnity may
prove difficult and it may be decided,
although so lar the proposition has not

of the principal cities and officials
within these cities to watch the reye-
nues and protect the interests OF the
United States, if need be by taking
care of such revenues and reserving
some portion of them to apply to the
indemnity.
"In addition to requiring assurances
of restoration of order and the strict
est precautions to prevent a similar
state of affairs i'll the future, small
body Of troops may be necessary to pro-
tect the officials stationed at these ports.
If this plan should be adopted, the diff
ferent allies, doubtless, will cooperate.
efforts will be made, of course, to
trace the responsibility for the recent
outrages, but it will be difficult task
as there will be little disposition among
the Chinese to tell the truth, especially
when it would implicate one OF thel1
number. The Chinese cannot be pun
ished indiscriminately for the atrocities
but wherever such otfense is fixed OF
all individual, high or low, his punish
ment will be required.

The RECORD has received a
communication from Geo. Il.
BLACK of Mammoth Spring, in
which he denies having been in
Randolph county in the interest
of Hon. D. L. Kings candidacy
for state senator, or that he has
done, or attempted to do, Hon.
Thos. l. Herrn any injury in that
county. Mr.. Blacks commune
cation is quite lengthy or we
would publish it in full. Suffice
it to say that taken all in all it is
simply a denial as above stated
Our readers will remember that
we did not state positively that
Mr.. Black had been trying to do
Mr.. Herrn injury in Randolph
county, but we did state that we
had received information to that
effect from Randolph county.
which is true. We do say that
some things have been started on
Mr.. Herrn in Randolph county
which are a disgrace to politics
and to the starter, and should
such things have been started on
Mr.. King we would have con-
demned such methods as quickly.
We are for honest politics. This
paper has no inclination to do
either Mr.. King or Mr.. Black any
injury. Mr.. King is our personal
friend, and in justice to him, we
will state that on last Friday he
stated to us that he was not res
ponsible for nor had no knowl-
edge Of any attempt to do Mr..
Herrn an injustice in Randolph
county, and that if such attempt
had been made he did not endorse
| it.
We make no charges against
either Mr.. King or Mr.. Black, but
in regard to the letter from
Watervalley, Randolph county,
which was published last issue,
we have it still in our possession
signed by a good citizen of that
place.
We are not in this senatorial
fight farther than we wish to see
the race carried on fairly. Then
let the best man win.

WHO GAN VOTE IN THE PRIMARY

WHO CAN VOTE IN THE PRIMARY
The question has been asked
so often here Of late "who are
entitled to vote at the primary
will say that all qualified electors
of the county who are known
democrats, or will obligate them
selves to support the nominees Of
the party at the next election, are
entitled to vote. The following
is the resolution of the central
committee on that subject made
at the February meeting last:
"That the judges appointed to
conduct said primary election are
hereby required to permit none
to vote except qualified electors
of Sharp county who shall declare
their intention of voting at the
coming fall elections for the reg
ularly nominated democratic
nominees, for all offices, NATION
AL, STATE and COUNTY," and this
being a legalized primary, the
judges are authorized by law to
administer oaths, when they con-
slider it necessary, to determine
the qualification Of any voter.
