Republicans See They Have Lost
Kanawha County-Atl<inson'sP ar-
tisan Acts.
Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, w. Va, September
27.-One OF the leading Republicans
here, who holds a federal position and
stands very closely to the State admin
istration, said to-day that his party had
relinquished all hope of carrying Ka-
nawha county They at first thought
that the opposition Of Republicans to
the county ticket would not last long,
and that the kiekers could be won over
before the election, but they find that
the opposition so far from showing any
signs of weakening is more determin-
ed than ever as the prospects OF the
defeat of the ring ticket grows bright
er from day to day. The opposition
Republicans have strong compact Or
ganization of their own, and are pre-
pared, not only to look after the vot-
ers from now till election day, but on
the day Of election as well.
The action of Governor Atkinson
last week in revoking the notary COM
mission of w. S. Brown is considered
as purely a partisan move on his part,
and has incensed the friends of Brown
and other notaries in Kanawha county
and has resulted in many more acces-
stems to the ranks of the kickers. 1t
is now seen to have been political
blunder The election in Kanawha is
likely to go as a landslide toward the
Democrats

SHANGHAI, September 27-The sit
uation in China is now more serious
than ever before for those who are in
terested in preserving the integrity of
the empire
The Chinese government is in the
power of Boxer leaders, who are not
likely to submit to the Empress Dow
ager propositions unfavorable to them.
The friendly viceroys of the south
are still loyal to the throne and any
foreign aggressions in southern China
will precipitate an armed uprising.
Already the Governor of Nganhwei
province has addressed memorial to
the Empress Dowager declaring that
his signature to the viceroys' agree
ment with the foreign consuls in
Shanghai was forged.
There is danger that the friendly vic
eroys will be replaced.
Sheng, the friendly Tactai of Shang-
hal. has been ordered north, and that
practically means death
Russia is holding all the forts and
strategical points from Taku to PAtin
Russias possession of the railway
shows by the permanent arrangement
which her officers are making that she
intends to swallow the north Of China.
No one here believes that Russia will
ever move out except under overwhelm-
ing pressure from the other powers.
Germany's assurance that she does
not desire territory in China if the lat
ter be able to pay an indemnity is mis-
leading.
Her demand for the punishment of
the leaders of the Boxers as condition
precedent to peace negotiations means
continual war and perhaps the COM
plete disruption of the Chinese govern
ment.
Friendly feeling between Russia and
Japan is increasing.
France is hand in glove with Russia.
Vice Admiral Seymour's attempt to
undertake the isolated British occupa-
ton of Shanghai and to patrol the
Yang Use Kiang has weakened the
British position, while losing an oppor-
tunity to make a definite agreement for
non-partition of the empire with Japan.
The United States is consistent, but
powerless.
Lu Lii Chuan Liu, who, it is unoff1-
cially announced, is to be the new vice
roy of Canton, is anti-foreign.
Unless the allies protest the friendly
viceroys are likely to have no friends
in China.
The only method for dealing with the
situation not involving the division of
Chinese territory is through the friend
ly viceroys, gradually removing the
throne from the power of the Boxer
leaders.
americans on the spot believe that
the settlement Of the present question
will decide the fate of the enormous
and increasing American and Chinese
trade.

FOR A SHOW OF FORCE,

VAL FORCE NOW GOING
TO THE ORIENT.
WILL MAINTAIN OPEN DOOR.
BUT REMOVAL OF TROOPS SHOWS
NO INTEREST IN CHINA'S
INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

PARIS, September 27.-The deadlock in
peace negotiations brings the suggestion
that the ministers at Pekin be instructed
to meet to draw up terms of treaty.
The ministers In the spot are the persons
most capable of working out common
ground.
The foreign office hopes that such in
structions will be forthcoming within a
week, and that the general instructions
will be under three heads-f1rst punish
ment of the conspirators; second, compen-
sation for losses sustained, and, third,
guarantees for the future.
The determination of the United States
to withdraw her troops from China while
increasing the strength of her fleet in
Chinese waters is disconcerting to the
powers. But, the Interpretation put upon
it in official circles, is that the United
States is resolved to protect the open door
to the extremity. and is therefore, pre-
pairing a fleet for the purpose of main
tanning that policy by show of force.

Local stogie rollers were considerably
stirred up yesterday over the announce
ment that several delegates to the In
ternational Tobacco Workers conven-
ton, which is in session in this city
at present, had refused local stogies
on account of the National Stogie-
makers League union label. The dele
gates all ask for the international label,
which is only used on scrap, plug and
fine cut tobacco. The local tobacco
men, it is said, are displeased with the
visiting delegates for their action, as it
was pointed out that the local national
label was a union label and the goods
were made by strictly union men. The
matter has been laid before President
w. H. Riley, of the stogiemakers. Mr..
Riley is considered a very sonservat.ye
man and will handle the questiC-- to
the satisfaction of the Wheeling local.

THE FAKE" HOTELS.
Gone of the One Hundred" Criticixes
the City Council,

the City Council.
Sir: 1t is very evident that the only
way that decency can triumph in our
city is, as the Intelligencer suggested
a few weeks ago, "by the club of the
ballot" The fake hotels" have tri-
umphed, not with the people, but in
the chambers of the rottenest council
that ever sat in our city building. This
does not apply to the brave minority
who fought bravely to uphold the de-
cency of our city. There are men in
Council whose nobility has been
brought before the public by this strug-
gle, and, regardless of politics, they
ought to be returned to Council by an
overwhelming vote Of the people who
have any pride in the good name Of
our city.
But how about the majority who have
disgraced our city? How can they have
the gall to come up for election again
before an outraged, decent public?
Look at the record of the majority
who have ruled in this council Slot
machine gambling, which is IN direct
violation of law, virtually upheld on the
floor of Council. and now the fake ho-
tells" licensed. How can any man who
voted for these licenses ever look hts
wife or his daughters or any decent wo-
man in the face again?
Voters of Wheeling, let us uphold de-
cency by our votes. Let us look into
the pure faces of our wives and daugh-
tiers and then go to the polls and give
the fake hotel Councilman who is in
for reelection black eye by our
votes. Yes, the club of the ballot
must be used. This seems to be our
only redress.
