Eettcr Prospect of Uninterrupted
Cemmunication With PeIsin.

Communication With PcISin.
Effective communication between the
United States Government and its military
and diplomatic representatives in Pekin
will probably be assured within a few
days. Information was received yesterday
that The Eastern Cable Company had
nearly completed the laying of its cable
from Chefoo to Shanghai. All the recent
trouble in the transmission of dispatches
to and from Pekin has teen between those
points along the land line from Chefoo
to Tsinan. and thence through a hostile
territory TO Shanghai.
The messages have been relayed a num-
ber CT times and when they reached the
War Department and State Department
they were very much garbled. The absence

systematic work of the Chinese officials
through whose hands the messages have
passed.
As soon as the cable is opened between
Chefoo and Shanghai it is thought the
messages Will come through without trou-
BILE They will then be handled entirely
by foreigners and the only place where
delay is likely is along the military tele-
graph line from Pellin to Tientsin. With
q regulated courier service between these
points however. dispatches will be but a

AT THE KNOWN DISTANCES.
Lieutenant CoOkson. of Washington,
Makes the Hest Score.

SEA GIRT. y. J., Sept 4.-This WIS
New York's day at the annual meeting Of
the New Jersey State Rife Association.
Squadron A. of New York, won the carbino
team match by seven points from the
strong Essex troopers CT Newark. The
wind was Just fresh enough to cool the air
and put sharpshooters on their mettle.
From O'Clock until 1880 o'clock the
ranges were occupied in practice shooting
and in The competition for the individual
matches. Sergt. David MacCally, OF the
army medical corps of New South Wales.
who arrived here yesterday from Ottawa,
attracted great deal of attention. The
Australian tried his skill on the 200 500,
and 600-yard ranges in competition for the
Lafiin- Rand trophy, and made strings Of
40, AZ, and A, respectively. While this is
not the high score in this match 1t is
considered very good, inasmuch as Mac
Cally has had little or no practice on the
ranges.
H. NJ Pope. of Hartford, leads in the
Standard American ScheutZen match with
aggregate prizes amounting to $500. Up
to tonight his score had not been excelled.
and there is doubt as to whether or not
it will be beaten.
Thomas Anderson, OF Battery B. First
Regiment of Heavy Artillery of Boston,
had the lead until o'clock tonight with
a score of 282. He had to succumb, how
ever, to the superior shooting of j. A.
DeitZ ir.. of New York. When the wind
had died out Deitz went to the butts and
made 2s7. This puts Anderson out Of the
race.
Lieut. w. W. Cookson, of Washington,
made the best score of the day at the
known distances. On the 200-yard range
in competition for the Lafin- Rand
trophy, he made 40, and As on the 500
yard range. Late last night Captain
Tomlnson, Sixth Battalion. District of
Columbia, lodged a protest against al
lowing the score of the Fourth New Jer-
sey, in the first stage of the regimental
team match.
The protest was made on the belief
that the Jersey marksmen had exceeded
the time limit placed on the match. To-
night the Washington captain withdrew
the protest. This was relief to General
Spencer, who is using his best efforts TO
make the meeting harmonious and sue
cessful.

FOR A SEPARATE TICKET.
Undismaycd'T Third Party Men to Meet
in Convention Today.

NEW YORK, Sept. Am accordance
with a call issued by Everett v. Abbott,
Secretary of the Third Party Convention,
q body of men viii meet at Carnegie Hall
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
President and Vice President of the United
States who will subscribe to the princi-
pies of the provisional platform recently
adopted by the Third Party men. The
convention tomorrow will be the third
attempt of the Third Party men to get up
a national ticket.
The Third Party convention had its ORR
gin in meeting at the Plaza Hotel in
this city on July is. 1t was resolved at
that meeting that the committee should
be appointed to convene at indianapolis
on July 25. Pursuant to that action the
committee did meet at Indianapolis in
convention with the Gold Democrats,
known as National Democrats, and not
withstanding the urgency of the Third
Party committee, the indianapolis Con-
vention refused to make any now nomina-
tions
The endorsement of the Republican
ticket at that time did not please the
Third Party men, and they sent dele
cation to the Liberty Congress. which also
met at indianapolis on August 4. The
Liberty Congress refused to nominate a
third ticket, and instead, advised its
members and friends to vote for the regu7
lar Bryan and Stevenson Democratic
ticket. This action was also displeasing
to all that was left of the Third Party
contingent, and they drew themselves
aside and organized their diminished fore
es into the independent convention. Hav-
ing found name for themselves they i'm
mediately adjourned to meet in this city
on September o.
Nearly 100 persons have thus far writ
ten to Secretary Abbott signifying their
intention of attending the convention to-
morrow. But he said today that he ex-
pected more than a hundred persons at
the convention because many persons
would come from all over the country
upon the strength of the general invita-
ton.
"Will there be any prominent men con-
nected with the movement" he was
asked.
None who are very prominent" said
MIR. Abbott I'VE of the independent
movement belong to a very small but Sc
lect party and that is not the kind Of a
party to attract prominent politicians who
are locking for nothing but patronage"
Among those who have already sent in
their names as delegates are the follow
ing:- Colorado, Louis r. Rich and Col
William J. Palmer; Kentucky. f H. Dorm,

North Carolina, Louis de Lacroix. W. r.

FRANCE IN A oUANDARY.
DESTROYS of Following Russia, But
Fearful of the Results.

PARIS. Sept Though Government
circles generally express agreement with
Russias view concerning China it IS easy
upon looking below the surface to perceive
that the situation is really embarrassing
to the French Government. France is de-
sirous of marching alongside of Russia, but
she is heavily Handicapped by the fact that
she is historically the protector of Chris
tianity in China. Consequently the authors
ties aim at delaying a definite decision as
long as possible, and to this end they de-
clare that they require the opinion of NJ.
Pichon, the French Minister to China, on
the advisability of Withdrawing the French
troops from Pel;in.
After this opinion is received 1t is likely
that the withdrawal will be sanctioned
theoretically, but it will probably be Iona
delayed actually. A statesman who is now
connected with the Government said to-
day that the Cars hasty decision had
placed the French Cabinet in the most
awkward position possible. as the slightest
slip would mean disaster
