lieved in the best posted quarters, that

will deem it expedient to remain there
also. 1t would seem from this that
France is the only government to give
concurrence to the Russian proposition
although the United States has ex-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-According to
official information obtained by the
State department this morning the atti-
tude OF the powers to Russa's proposal
is uniformly harmonious. None desire
their troops to permanently occupy
PeKin nor even prolong their STAY in
definitely. France, however is of the
opinion that troops can be withdrawn
in comparatively short time. Ger
many believes they should not leave
until order is restored, and satisfac
tory government established. Instead
of Germany being Numerically op-
posed to France and Russia as suggested
in this mornings dispatches it is evil
dent all the powers are working in har-
mony with natural differences of opin-
ion, but within week definite work
ing arrangement may be expected.
WASHINGTON, Sept, An import
ant statement was made today at the
Japanese legation showing that Japan
has already picked portion of Chinese
territory. 1t is said "the attitude of
Japan In Chinese affairs is precisely
similar to that of the United States. II,
however, the question of partition of
China comes up Japan's course will be
compelled to vary from this country's
Japan would declare as an unfrendly
act any attempt OF other powers to seize
the province OF Fohkien or treaty port
OF Annoy. Fohkien is separated from
the island of Formosa, only by mar
row strip of water. Because of the
proximity of Japan to China it will be
necessary for the former to take part in
the partition of the latter to safeguard
her own interests"

MARSHMALLOWS IN BLOOM.
Their Delicate Color Relieves the
Dark Green of New Jersey
Swamps.

The Jersey meadows rarely come in
for anything but abuse. Suburban.
travellers who are carried over that
marshy stretch of land twice a dav
grow to look upon it as one of the
hardships of their days journey. Al
times they provoke condemnation no
less pronounced than the kind usually
directed toward Hunters Point. 10
was this same stretch of reeds and
grass that gave rise to a conundrum
that was very popular for awhile in
front parlors along the line of GER
tain New Jersey railroad. The cues
TONER used to ask why the president
OF the road was generous man to
his patrons The answer used to be
that he first gave every passenger a
scent crossing the meadows and then
passed all the oranges.
But there is something BEYOND the
scent of the meadows to attract at
tention to them now, says special
to the Chicago Inter Ocean. They are
abloom from one end to another with
the marshmallow flower. and its dain-
ty color adds an exquisite tone to the
rank green that is usually the only
color visible to the eye. Every Au-
gust the flowers begin to bloom. This
year their pink and white blossoms
are scattered over the whole range
of the meadows. Usually they last
throughout the entire month.

The exact nature of the responses is
not made public by the state depart
ment, for there are yet some replies t.
be transmitted, and until all of them
are in, the negotiations are considered
in such an incomplete form that they
will not be made public. II is said
however, that the answers go much BIT.

proposition advanced by Russia. The
Chinese government announces its
Willingness to appoint native peace
commissioners.
LONDON, Sept. 7.-Germany's polite
refusal to withdraw from Pekin is COM
mented on here with keen satisfaction
and the hope is expressed that Lord
Salisbury will show similar firm
ness. The British reply has not yet
been formulated. Lord Salisbury de-
sires to consult with his colleagues and
has notified the foreign office of his in
tention to return to London from the
continent early next week.
There is little doubt, however, that
Germany's reply is the outcome OF the
discussion carried on during the last
lew days between the European cabi-
nets and that the compromise policy of
maintaining the occupation of the cap
ital but Withdrawing the greater part of
the troops to Tien Tsin will be found to
have met with general concurrence.
From Shanghai comes the report
that Japan has notified the powers of
her willingness to withdraw her troops
provided an adequate guard is left for
the legat ons and on condition that
China formally requests evacuation and
opens genuine negotiations for peace.
Altogether, appearances are more hope
full and it is likely that when Field
Marshal, Count Won Waldersee, arrives
fortnight hence at Taku, he will find
the allies agreed upon some common
policy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The receipt
today of communications from Berlin
and Paris brought about numerous
conferences between the President,
Secretary Root and Acting Secretary Of
State Hill, and also between Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Adee. 1t was gathered from
these me etings that another note was
being prepared by the United States
but the authorities did not feel dispos-
ed TO give any inkling as to its nature.
AS to the purposes of Great Britain
there is an absolute lack of official in
formation, though little doubt is enter
tained that since Germany has taken
the Initiative, Great Britain will follow
suit in favor of remaining at Pekin.
The position of Japan likewise is eek
ing in definiteness, although it is be-

If there was no Presidential cam
paign now we would probably see the
same unification of views over the &C.
ton of the President of the United
States in upholding the honor of the
American flag and the dignity of the
American nation in China that was
witnessed when we went to war with
Spain two years ago. 1t is simply be-
cause one party desires to play politics
that it derides the party in power for
doing what every right-thinking man
knows should have been done, and
what only the most partisan persons
dare to criticise. A pretty good plan to
follow is: In foreign affairs there
should be unity; partisanship should
be left to domestic policies. The party
that opposes any action taken by an ad-
ministration to uphold the dignity of
Americans abroad and to make the flag
of the nation respected wherever it
floats, will not be successful. The
Presidents Chinese policy has been 80
far above reproach that any hint of
criticism will be sure to disgust patriotic
citizens of the United States.

he was leaving for Harpers Ferry he
drew from his boot leg and presented to

fine bowie knife.
Brown said it was bought by subscrip-

in taking the life of the veteran aboli-

and, noticing the beautiful blade, de-
