GREAT BRITAIN
SUSPICIOUS
London Much. Agitated Over
the Proposals for Settle
ment in China.
Distrust of Russia and of Ii
i -
Hung Chang,
Demand fur Light and Leading From
the Government.
United States' Position the Same as
Announced July 3.
UNITED STATES MAT NOT WANT
TO HEAR FROM ALL THE POW-
fERS BEFORE WITHDRAWING
ITS TROOPS FROM PEKIN.
London, Sept. 2. Practically all pre
conceived ideas of what might be ex
pected to ihap'pen as regards China in
the immediate future have been upset
fcy the publication of the Russo-American
state papers. Tlwe is an insist
ant demand from the English press
and public for light and leading from
the government by all sides. Mean
while in the absence of any lead En
glishmen are confusedly formulating
their own ideas, everything indicating
an acute recrudescence of the spirit of
Russophobia. The anxiety of a week
ago as regards the attitude of Ger
many and Russia included the notion
that they might possibly co-operate to
forward their own special aims. Now
apparently Russia, after supporting
the kaiser over the appointment of
Waldersee Is taking a course calculated
to stultify the German mission unless
.Oermany and England co-operate to
check matters in Russia. The major
ity of Englishmen intensely distrust
Russia and Li Hung Chang, while the
idea of abandoning Pekin .before some
sort Of movement is established with
which, it will be possible -for" the powers
to deal is generally repugnant.
With the aspirations of the United
States for a. discovery of a solution in
suring the integrity of China, coupled
with the maintenance of treaty rights,
equal trade, etc., there is hearty
agreement here. England is opposed
heartily and keenly to a treatment of
the Chinese government which will
render such a thing impossible but
does not believe such a government
obtainable by evacuating Pekin and
negotiating with Li Hung Chang.
The American action is now generally
ascribed to the political exigencies of
the presidential election, combined
with an over-trust in the fullness of
Russia's bona fides.
NOT SIDING WITH RUSSIA.
Washington, Sept. 1. There is much
surprise expressed here at the appar
ent misunderstanding of the reply of
the United States to Russia. The offi
cials who framed it decl-are the answer
is a complete disapproval of Russia's
intentions. The United States decided
to give full protection to American in
terests in China ana will insist on the
conditions of its note of July 3 being
complied with and will act concurrent
ly with other powers in attaining this
result. The position of the United
States on the occupation of Pekin,
however, is that the powers must be in
perfect harmony on the question of oc
cupying the capital.
In further elucidation of the answer
of the United States a positive declara
tion is made by the officials here that
the president and cabinet are opposed
to Russia's proposition and have so
notified not only Russia but the other
powers.
One new point has developed today
on the subject of withdrawal. It is
that the United States may not wait
to hear from all the powers before or
dering Chaffee and the American
troops to return to Tien Tsin. The re
ceipt of a repiy from any power stat
ing definitely its intention to withdraw
from Pekin will result In Immediate or
ders to. Chaffee to do likewise.

BRYAN SPEAKS IN INDIANA.
Gives Especial Attention to His Para
mount Isfiue.
South Bend, Ind., Sept. 1. Bryan
arrived here this afternoon. He was
enthusiastically received both here and
at LaPont'e, where he spoke this after
noon. He spoke here tonight on the
court house grounds. The speech con
sisted of a discussion of the issues of
the campaign, but especial attention
was giyeri to imperialism. He said the
truth Was the republicans who in-
veieghed against a double standard in
money were trying to create a double
standard in government. He declared
they contended for democracy here
and despotism in the isles of the sea.
KENTUCKY IN DOUBT.
Washington, Sept. 1. Colonel W. H.
Gentry, of Kentucky, a democrat and
a memoer or irovernor becKnam s
staff, is out in an interview in an af
ternoon paper. He is quoted as saying
that the electoral vote of Kentucky
will be cast this fall for President Mc
Kinley. He told the president this
morning that the democrats must look
out for the interests of Governor
Beckham, and see to it that he is elect
ed, but when it came to the presiden
tial ticket that was another thing. In
an Interview, after leaving the presi
dent, he said the people of Kentucky
appreciated the course of the president
with reference to the local difficulties
there, when the president had been ap
pealed to for federal interference, and
that they were proud of the lofty
Americanism of the administration.
He said there was a good deal of feel
ing in Kentucky that Bryanism was
not for the best and that the gold dem
ocrats generally would vote for Mc-
Kinley.

of the Biblical Recorder;. Rev. J. B.

was unanimously adopted:
Whereas the Baptists of North Car
olina are making1 an earnest effort for
the improvement of the religious condi

gendering prejudice and bitterness, is
a hindrance to the work. we. as a

tion settled politically in North Caro

sary and harmful, therefore, .be it

TERM OPENS SEPT. 19
Prospects for Term at Normal and
Collegiate are Bright.
The" 'Normal and Collegiate institute
will open for the term of 1900-1901
September 19. There are splendid
prospects for a very large attendance,
and the corps of teachers this year is
even more efficient than formerly. Two
new teachers have been secured, one
Miss Elizabeth Marshall, who will take
the chair of latin, and the other, Miss
Myrtle Bond, who will take the chair of
mathematics. Miss Marshall is a
graduate of the "Worcester, Ohio, uni
versity, and an excellent teacher. Miss
Bond is a graduate of the New York
State normal at Pottsdam, N. Y., and
is an experienced worker.
The short hand, typewriting and
bookkeeping department, under Miss
Ford, is to be greatly enlarged and in
creased and entirely reorganized to
make it as thorough a course in every
way as can be secured. Miss Ford is
a very capable teacher in this branch.
The remainder of Dr. Lawrence's
corps of teachers are all efficient and
thorough and consequently a most suc
cessful term may be expected.
Or. Lawrence is-developing a large
spring which, has the clearest and pur
est water in this locality. The spring
will be lined with stone and the water
pumped to the big reservoir. He will
have abundance of the finest water to
supply both schools now.

ENGLAND'S POSITION.
London, Sept. 1. According to re
ports from Shanghai Great Britain has
furnished Lieu Kuen Yih, the viceroy
of Nankin and viceroy of Han Kow,
with strong guarantees against the
reported intention of the dowager em
press tox supercede him on account of
alleged pro-foreign tendencies.
The imperial court, it is reported, re
mains at Tai Yuan Ku, capital of the
province of Shan Si, afraid to move
owing to stories of Chinese troops rav
aging the country far and wide and
even murdering imperial officials who
have been trying to join the, fugitive
imperial -court.
The foreign office here is apparently
not yet ready to publicly declare Great
Britain's position on 'the present, sllua-
fion, but;all indications tend to con
firm the belief that Lord Salisbury fa
vors the principles contained in the
American-Russian proposals, thougn
possibly he may have some modifica
tion to suggest.
