During the session the committee was
informed that the Rev. Il. II. Adams.
who has charge Of the camp meeting
grounds nc Rchoboth, had.arranged for "A
Democratic political meeting on the camr

KAISER SAYS HE WILL
NOT GIVE UP PEKIN

Berlin, Sept. Negotiations con-
tinue between the powers respecting
the propositions of Russia. 1t appears
that the portion of the proposal which
contemplates the removal of the lega-
tions to Tien Tsin does not meet with
opposition, but the proposal that the
troops should vacate Pekin viii not be
acted upon until after thorough exam
ination of the case by other powers.
with a special view to the question Of
military advisability. Germany's pro-
gram is to await the action of the
other powers. Count Won Buelow, the
German foreign minister, has made a
communication to this effect to the
Russian ambassador, Count Won Der
Osten-Sacken. A high official of the
German foreign office said today in
defining Germany's position
Germany has not answered Russia
formally, although she has informed
her confidentially as to the views OF
the German government. Certainly we
do not object TO the removal Of the le-
cations temporarily to Tien Tsin, as
this would enable the members to re-
euperate from their recent hardships.
So far as the answer of the United
States to Russia is concerned we now
see it to be in substantial agreement
with Germany's position"
When asked whether, If the troops
were withdrawn, the empress dowager
and emperor would return to Pekin,
the foreign Office official in question
replied that he could form no opinion
worth stating on that subject.
Most of the German papers are Of
the opinion that it is very doubtful if
Germany can adopt Russia's sugges-
tions, and they deplore the evidence
of a threatening split in the European
concert. One leading Berlin journal
asserts that Emperor William, while
conversing with group Of officers
last Saturday evening, said.
Under no conditions shall we give
UP Peldn, not even if every army corps
has to be mobilized."

Friday night near Elizabethville, was
shot and killed yesterday on Berrys
mountain by posse of Dauphin coun-
ty farmers. Frohm was detected by
Harry Slime, of Elizabethville. hiding
behind log on the mountain side. and
was ordered to surrender. He refused,
and fired eight shots from two revol-
vers at Stine, none of which took eff
feet. A posse was quickly organized,
and the alleged robber was soon sur
rounded by great crowd Of armed and
determined men. He again refused to
surrender and fired several shots at
the party. The farmers opened fire
on Frohm in every direction, literally
riddling him with bullets from head to
foot. He fen in his tracks and died
soon after.
Frohm was SS years old, and former
ly lived at Shamolzin. He is alleged

ROBBER KILLED BY A FARMER;
ATTACK ON M'KINLEY RESENTED

Trenton, Sept. 4.-The Mercer county
Prohibition convention held here yes
terday afternoon was made lively by
a war of words between Rev. John w.
Turner and Rev. ]. Foote, both Of this
city. The trouble was precipitated by
Rev. Mr.. Turner, who INDUCED in a
general TRADE on the army canteen
against President Mckinley, Attorney
General Griggs and Adjutant General
Corbin In the course Of his remarks
Rev. Turner said that the president
end Mr.. Griggs were hypocrites.. Rev
Mr.. Foote took exception to the remark
and said he knew Mr.. GTiggs PERSONAL
ly, and knew him TO be a Christian
and honest, upright man. Rev. Tur-
ner replied, and in the course of his re-
marks said that It was understood
that the president took an occasional
glass himself. Rev Foote retorted
that it was not a mortal sin If he did.
This latter remark brought a number Of
the delegates TO their feet, and they
charged Rev. Foote with being a back
slider from the Prohibition cause. Rev.
Foote answered them all by saying that
he would sooner be a backslider than
be responsible for such remarks as the
Rev. Mr.. Turner had made. For a
time the convention was in very much
of an uproar.

DATES ARE OMITTED
FROM CONGER MESSAGES

Washington, Sept. A dispatch
from Minister Conger was received by
the state department yesterday. 1t was
chiefly interesting in being the first
word from him since his dispatch of
about the 9th ult referring to the
proposed parade Of troops through the
imperial palace in Pekin Like that
dispatch, this is dateless as to Pekin.
The contents were not made public,
but it was stated that it contained
nothing materially changing the sit
uation. The lack of date led to q de-
termination to take energetic steps by
which all dispatches hereafter coming
10 the state department from China

Two other dispatches received yes

of health of the troops, which gener-
ally is satisfactory.
It cannot be learned that there has
been any marked advancement of the
negotiations between the powers touch
sng the withdrawal of the international
forces from Pelzin. The plain indica-
tion is that the powers are acting upon
the hint conveyed in the last note Of
the state department, and are bringing
all their influence to bear upon Russia

to Withdrawing her troops. For some

RUSSIA MAY HAVE SECRET
TERMS WITH THE CHINESE
Austrian Representative Arrests Mem
Der Of The TSung-Ii-Yamen for
Attacks on Legations

London, Sept. 4.-The latest reliable
Pekin date is now nearly a fortnight
old. An undated dispatch has been re-
ceived at Vienna reporting that the al
lied troops marched through the i'm
perial palace Aug. 2S, but it was known
that this date had been fixed by the
allied commanders for formal prome-
made. There is no other news of any
kind.
The Hong Kong correspondent Of
The Daily Mail says that the Canton
officials have been ordered to transmit
all possible revenues to the north for
war expenses, and that all pay Of Of
acials, from the viceroy downwards,
has been stopped during hostilities.
The Vienna correspondent Of The
Standard telegraphs that he learns
from a good source that the Germans,
Austrians and Italians will remain in
Pekin after the Russians withdraw.
Shanghai and Hong Kong dispatches
express the utmost astonishment at the
idea Of evacuating Pekin.
The Daily News suggests editorially
that Russia may have made secret
terms with China behind the backs of
the powers. The Standard expresses
qualification at the explanation that
the United States government does not
approve Of Russias proceedings.
The Daily Express publishes an in
terview with New York Chinaman,
Liu Chuah, now staying in London,
who admits Ii Hung Changs "du-
plicity and rooted antagonism to west
ern IDEAS" but thinks that the allies
have no choice but to negotiate with
him or to retire from China alto
gether.
M. De Blowitz, the Paris correspond
ent of The Times, asserts that the or
igin of Russia's decision to evacuate
Pekin was her desire to frustrate the
schemes Of Emperor William and to
correct the impression produced by the
kaiser's speech attributing to Emperor
Nicholas the initiative in the appoint
ment of Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee to the command of the in
ternational troops.
A dispatch dated PelSin, Aug. %
says: Chung Ii, a member of the
tsung-li-yamen and prefect Of police
visited the Austrian representative
yesterday, who arrested him because
of the Chinese officials completely in
the attacks on the legations.
An Austrian official dispatch says
Chung Ii was military governor OF
Pekin, and adds that the Austro-H Hun
garian contingent is quartered in
Chung Lis palace. After his arrest he
was turned over to the Japanese.
It Is just possible Chung Ii may be

Pekin dispatch of Aug. q as endeavor-
ing to open negotiations with the al
lies, though there is a Prince Ching
father of the heir apparent, lord
chamberlain of the court, and recently
commander Of the Pekin field force.
Three members of the tsung-li-ya-
men, Ma Tung, Ching Hsin and Chung
Ii, it is announced at Tien Tsin, are
seeking to negotiate with the allies
through Sir Robert Hart, the director
of the Chinese imperial maritime Gus
