sometimes said, It is all over but the shout

hdencs in the republicans and a desire to
continue for another four years can be
traced directly to the present adminlstra-
ton OF state affairs.

fight, but merely to maintain their Or
ganization from year to year. or until
something turns up" that will be favor
able to them. The dificulty to secure
candidates at Rawlins who we're willing to
be slaughtered clearly indicated as much.
Indeed, a full ticket was not nominated,
no candidate being named for associate
justice Of the state supreme court to sue

From 2 San Correspondent.(


WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-(Special.)-Min-
lister Wu's successor, like that able diplo-
mat himself, will not require the aid Of
an American secretary in the conduct OF
the affairs Of the Chinese legation. Both
the present and the future representatives
Of the Flowery Kingdom in Washington
have been we'll educated in the English
language and each thoroughly understands
a great deal Of the American slang which
does duty for idioms. But until a few
years ago an American was always at
tached to the Chinese legation and he was
usually a man with knowledge Of the Chi
nese language and of China itself. The
position was filled for a long period by
Colonel Bartlett who, during his stay in
Washington, formed a warm friendship for
Sevellon A. Brown, for many years chief
clerk OF the State department.
