issues. The trusts are cutting a big
figure in the campaign. too. The farm

they have to sell and are paying much
higher prices for what they are COM
PEELED to buy and as they have to fig
ure very closely to make both ends
meet anyhow, this is a matter of sU-

PROBLEM OF
A GOVERNMENT

London, Aug. %, 4 a. m.-Describing
even the relief of Pekin the Daily
Nails correspondent cables:
ION Aug. u, the tsung ii yamen re-
quested conference with view to
peace. No armistice was granted, how
ever, and that night we endured the
longest fusillade of the whole siege. 1t
lasted twelve hours.
Aug. 10, the tsung Ii yamen begged
to be excused from any conference,
saying that the members were too
busy Later they wrote that they had
forbidden firing on US, and would
court martial any who disobeyed Dur
ing the evening many shells fell in the
legation ground"
The Daily Chronicle publishes an in
terview with the Japanese minister in
London, Takai, which represents him
as having said:
THE empress is the heart and soul
Of China. AS long as she lives, so long
as she remains in China, whether the
power is taken from her or

not. she will always be the greatest
force. the one above all others to be
reckomed with. The difficulty will be
to get any one who can speak for her.
l fear that the influence of Lii Hung
Chang is now of extremely little
weight.
The powers must come to a final
understanding quickly. Riots, anarchy,
bloodshed and misery throughout China
will be the inevitable result of the
policy that does not Immediately dis
close itself. The government must be
re-estabished"
The japanese envoy expressed his
approval of the reported American sug-
gestion regarding a conference of the
powers and said he believed that salts
factory pecuniary compensation could
be served if officials of China were
properly developed, despite the fact
that her revenues are pledged.
Field Marshal Won Waldersee, ac-
cording to the Daily Nails correspon-
dent, expresses the opinion that his
labors in China will be of long dura-
ticn, las Dacification will be a difficult
undertaking.
Three hundred and seventy-five
thousand Russian troops are already
in the far east or already there by land
and sea and under orders to embark.
This statement is made by the Moscow
correspondent of the Daily Graphic,
who adds that mobilization is in pro-
gress and that there are now at Odessa
fourteen steamers chartered to take
troops.
According to a st. Petersburg special
a telegram has been received at the
Russian capital from Shanghai an
nouncing the departure of Lii Hung

CHAFFEE PLACED
OVER CONGER

New York, Aug. pa special to the
World from Washington says:
The war department sent General
Chaffee a cablegram of four words late
this afternoon, which practically takes
things out of Minister Conger's hands
and puts General Chaffee in the posi-
ton Of the utmost responsibility.
The message said:
Report operations, situation, re-
quirements''
There is no intention of depreciating
Minister Conger; the government has
the Heveliest sense of gratitude for
him; but it is not deemed expedient to
act on his dispatches because, after his
terrible experience, he is naturally en-
FILTERED, and possibly unconsciou Y
biased, and because he needs and de-
serves a rest.
1t is proposed to have Mr. Conger
come home at the first opportunity and
enjoy long period of rest and recu-
peration.

DR|F TING TO BRYAN

Judge Henry p. Henderson arrived
home yesterday from his trip to Mich
igan greatly improved in health BY
his months rest, although he said that
the summer IN the middle west was
the hottest and most stormy experience
ed in many years. He was in Chicago
for week just before his return and
found the heat to be sitting. so much
so that he could not stand it on the
street for an hour in the middle of
the day. Speaking of political condi-
tons in Michigan, Judge Henderson
said:
Politics in Michigan is decidedly
mixed. There are factors entering into
the campaign this year that make it
impossible for any man to tell how
the state Will go. The chances favor
Mckinley, of course, because Michigan
is normally a strong Republican state,
but there is no certainty about it.
In the city of Detroit the Free
Press, for many years the leading
paper of the state, seems to be against
both Bryan and Mckinley 1t bolted
Bryan in 1896. The Tribune, the lead
ing Republican paper in the state, is
against Mckinley but will not support
Bryan. Pngree's attitude is much the
same as that of the Tribune. He is
bitter against the administration, but
has not announced himself for Bryan.
1T is understood in Michigan, how
ever, that Pingree's influence is quiet
ly for Bryan. l read in the papers
here before leaving that Don NJ Dick
insou, the leading Democrat in Michi-
gan under CleYeland's regime, was out
for Mckinley. This is not true. He is
against Bryan, but he has not an
nounced himself for Mckinley. He was
for Palmer four years ago and will
probably keep silent this year.
The Germans are very strongly for
Bryan" continued Judge Henderson,

preston that large majority of them

Havana, Aug. 22.-AI the persons &C
cused of completely in the Havana Gus
toms house frauds were acquitted to-
day. The president of the court has in
serted in the decision a clause to the
effect that he thinks four of the ac-
cused are guilty, and these may be
taken before the supreme court.
Inc decision holds with regard to in
accurate. appraisements that il is i'm
possible to prove that goods have been
wrongly appraised where the goods
cannot be brought into court. 1t also
asserts that there is no evidence that
the accused intended to defraud.

The Grange Encampment at
Grange Park, Centre Hall, Pa, will
open Saturday, Sept. 18th, and :he
exhibition on Monday, the 18th.
The live stock and poultry ex-
hibit promises to be an important

bition this year.

the gates than the premiums a.
mounted to at most of the county

and if ordered in advance will be
arranged in groups to suit the camp
ing parties.
