SPEEDY WITHDRAWAL
OF United States Troops From China
Will Begin soon-Will be Returned
--@to the philippines fori WinteE

Quarters. z.
WASHINGTON, Sept, 10.-The devei-5
opments OF the day in the Chinese situ-l
alton still point to q speedy withdrawal
OF the United States troops from China.
General Chaffee has added the weight
OF opinion to that already rendered by.
many officials here. 1t probably is Sig
niticant that the generals statement on
this point was given publicity by the
administration.
No confirmation Is at hand here OF the
report that Great Britain and Germany
have joined an agreement TO remain to-
gethar in Pekln regardless of the atti-
tude OF the other powers. Should this
be true the fact doubtless would hasten
the rearward movement of the Ameri-
can troops for there Is a firm deterni-
nation TO avoid becoming involved in
any clash between the powers. such as
might reasonably be expected to fol-
low the. execution of this reported Brit
ish-Gcrman programme. IL 4
No More Responses to Russian Note.
II there have been further responses
to the Russian note relative to evacua-
ton, their support cannot be ascertain-
ed. This delay no longer interfereo
with the execution OF the American poll
Icy. The state department has reason
ably accurate understanding Of the ar-
titude of even those powers that have
not made formal responses to the Rus
sian note. SO that the mere written re-
cord OF their views is not Of import
$ancc.
The part of the problem relative to
Withdrawal that remains unsolped 10
the best means OF securing guarantees
for the attainment OF the few objects
set out in Secretary Hays note OF July
3, which have not yet been secured.
Be Returned to Philippines.
1t does not follow that because the
United States troops are to be with
drawn this autumn from China that our
interests will be left completely at the
mercy OF the other powers. On the
contrary. such disposition will be mado
OF those troops that they, with others
II necessary, can be returned to China
in short order. To this end. the entire
army OF General Chaffec will be quar-
tered in some of the plcasantest and
most salubrlous portions of the Philip-
pines. II they are wanted again in

Ii Authorized to Make Terms.

4 :. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o.-The Chs!
nese minister has received an imperial
edict comforting on Ii Hung Chang ex-
traordinary power for the complete set,
tlement of.the Chinese trouble. It gives
him authority to make any terms ac-:
cordlng to his own discretion without
referring them to the emperor. This Is
unusual authority and 1t is claimed at!
the Chinese legation, gives Ii Hung
Chang credentials adequate to meet all
objections heretofore raised as to his.
power to negotiate for peace. The edict
Is dated two weeks.ago, but is Just for-i
warded from Ii Hung Chang. Minister
WI delivered it to the state depart

Has Been 2o,ooo-Legislature, State
,nd Local Tickets Elected-Looks
Well for November Election.

PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 1o.-The
Republican voters elected their ticket
to-day by q plurality over the DEM
ocratic candidates of over $4,000.
The vote was almost as large as four
years ago and the returns up to 11:3o
p. m. compared with 1896 showed
Republican losses of about 10 per
cent, or Democratic gain of about
is per cent. The result must be in
a great measure gratifying to both
parties. To the Republicans because
they polled almost as large vote as
in 1896, and to the Democrats be-
cause of the heavy gains over that
year. While thousands of voters
who in 1895 deserted the Democratic
ranks returned to the fold to-day,
yet the Republicans were able to
make good most Of the loss.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1900-09-11

inc approximate average OF all these
nluralities is about 10000. Republicans
did not expect the pluralities OF four
ana six years ago. when the Democrats
deserted their ticket and some Gold
Democrats voted with tho opposing
party.

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 1o.-From
Virginia Point north and south along
the bay front, at such places as Texas
City, Dickinson, Hitchcock, Sea-
brook, Alvin and a dozen small in

dead bodies gathered up by rescue
trains and sailing craft had reported

victims. Hundreds have been swept
out to sea who never will be account

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o.-Gov-
ernor sayres, of Texas, has applied
to the war department for 10000
