A CHECK ON THE powers.

Government Doing All 1t Can to Dis
courage Greed of POwers-Em-
peror of China to Return to Pc
king In October-Lord Lansdoyvne
Hopeful.

Washington, June 24.-rhe United
States government has taken no part
in the fresh demands made on China
and is disposed to do everything pos
sible to discourage them. Our gov
eminent will not for moment coun-
tenance the claim that the mainte-
nance of the legation guards in Pc
king is properly chargeable to the
Chinese government and the United
States will present no bill on that
score.
Date of Emperor's Return.
Paris, June PA dispatch received
here from Picking says an official
proclamation has been issued there
announcing that the emperor will re-
turn to Picking in October, arriving
at the capital by railroad from Pao
Ting Flu.
Lord Lansdowne Hopeful.
London, June 24.-Lord Lansdowne,
a correspondent learns, doess not
take such a pessimistic view of the
Chinese negotiations as do major
ity of the British newspapers. The
foreign Office by no means comedies
in the view of the Peking corresponds
ent of the Daily Mail, who cables
that the negotiations are drifting
into hopeless muddle. There is now
an opinion among competent officials
in Downing street that there is
good prospect of settlement. It is
denied that Germany has increased
her demand for indemnity; from the
British standpoint Germany has now
adopted a fair and rational basis,
though, of course, in common with
the United States and Great Britain
would have liked the indemnity to be
smaller. 1t is admitted that Great
Britain is partly responsible for the
delay in deciding the method of pay
ment, but 1t is maintained that she.
as the largest trader with China, is
more vitality concerned than any
other power in keeping down the
duty on imports.
This question" said an official, us about
the only one which now prevents total
conclusion of the negotiations and no
doubt 1t will be solved shortly. In any
case. our trade is bound te suffer. and we
want to minimize the loss by the substitu-
ton, to some extent of concession in lieu of
increased taxation. We are not adopting
an aggressive attitude, and we believe that
before July ! the powers will see that our
suggestions will be for the mutual good"

SWANSON rs ARRESTED.
Louis Swanson, Charged With Abandon
ing His Wife, Taken in Racine.

Louis Swanson, a man SO years OF
age and a we'll known carpenter, was
landed in the county jail shortly after
8 O'Clock last evening by Chief of
Police Newhouse. The prisoner is
charged with having wilfu1ly abandon
ed his wife and children some four
weeks ago. The arrest was made in
Racine Wednesday afternoon on a
complaint sworn out. by the wife of the
prisoner.
SWANSON had been missing from
Kenosha for several weeks but his wife
did not make ascomplaint against him
until few days ago. 1t was the first
time Swanson had ever been in jail
but he seemed to welcome the innova-
ton. He declares that before the
matter is settled in the courts other
arrests will besemade and that evidence
will be produced to show that he was
perfectly justified in leaving his wife
behind.
Swanson shas always borne splen-
did reputa ten but he claims that his
wife has not done her duty about the
home and for this reason he decided to
leave.

B. EicheIman is Presented With the
Two Pearl Buttons Which Were
Used by President Mckinley.
BUTTONS FROM THE NIGHT SHIRT.
Court P. Champeney, of Buffalo, Who Sc
cured the Garment in Which President
Died, Presents Them to Him.

B. Eiche1man, the well known
Main street merchant, returned home
from Buffalo Wednesday and he
brought with him little box which he
treasures very highly. In the box
buried away amidst a lot of silk and
cotton were two small pearl buttons,
but for these buttons Mr.. Eichelman
would not accept any price. The but
tons are relic of the death of Presi.
dent William Mckinley and they were
the two buttons which held together
the night shirt in which President
Mckinley breathed his last on the
morning of September 14th.
During the visit of Mr.. Eichelman
at Buffalo he was the guest OF Mr..
Court T. Champeney, the leading laun~
dry man of the Exposition City. On
the morning after the Presidents
death large bundle of laundry was
sent to Mr.. Champeney's place of bus
mess from the Mi1burn residence and
among the garments were number
worn by President Mckinley during
the last few hours of his life. One OF
them was the night shirt. In the
front of it was great rent which had
been torn by the doctors when they re-
stored to the use of oxygen to save the
life of Mr.. Mckinley
The garment was carefully Numbered
but when the package of laundry was
returned to the Mi1burn residence
Mr.. Champeney went to Mrs. Mi1burn
in person and asked that he be allowed
to keep the night shit in which the
President had died. Mrs. Milburn
stated that the family of the President
had left Buffalo and that they had no
desire to save the clothing of the Pres
ident aud the request of Mr.. Champe-
ney was granted.
In order that no harm should come
to the garment Mr.. Champeney had a
large massive cedar box made in
which the shirt was laid away, but be-
fore the box was sealed up Mr.. Eichel-
man was permitted to cut off the two
buttons of the shirt as remembrance
of the deadSPresident.
The buttons have been put in a
pretty setting and are on display in the
window of the owner on Main street.
They are attracting a great deal of at
tention. Mr.. Eiche1man showed the
buttons to a number of his friends in
Chicago and he was offered large sums
for the relics but he refused to part
with them at any price.

CLAUSEN'S ULTIMATUM.
Chicago Man Will Not Come to Kenosha
Until Bonds Are Arranged For.

Gustav L. C1ausen, of Chicago, the
alleged bood1er, has sent an u1timatum
to District Attorney A. E. Buckmaster
by the attorney who formerly repre-
scented him in this city. In his ulti-
matum Mr.. C1ausen states that he will
not come to Kenosha until Mr.. Buck
master has arranged with his attorney
in regard to the bonds to be demanded.
Furthermore, Mr.. C1ausen dictates
that the courts of Wisconsin must wait
until he has made some disp osition of
contracts now being worked out in
Chicago. The gentleman further
urges the attorney not to resort to re-
QUESTION papers claiming that this
would simply be an added expense to
the county and would be of little value.
Attorney G. r. Mcdowell, who was
formerly the attorney for Mr.. Clausen,
issued a statement this morning to the
effect that he had refused to take the
case of Mr.. C1ausen in the prese ut
trouble. AS yet no requisition papers
have been demanded for the arrest of
the Chicago man but it is probable
that the district attorney will seek
such papers by the first of next week.
