Preparations for Wintering American Troops. Russians L kely to Recede Their Stand. From Chaffee Cables That Hostilities Practically Ceased. Have ENGLAND HAS NOT YET REPLIED TO RUSSIA'S PROPOSALS-AMERICAN ASSOCIATION AT SHANG HAI PROTEST AGAINST WITH DRAWAL FROM PEKIN. Washington, Sept. 4. Thee is an ap parent assumption in official circles that the powers, oier than Russia, will not favor the withdrawal of troops from Pekin. This seems to be based upon Information received by the United States through unofficial sources. Meantime preparations are going on for the wintering of Ameri can troops in Pekin, and the govern ment is proceeding on the theory that its counter proposition to Russia look ing to continued occupation of Pekin will be agreed to by the other powers. In this event Russia is expected to re cede from her stand. MESSAGE FROM CHAFFEE. Washington, Sept. 4. A cable mes sage from General Chaffee was receiv ed-today undated, but it is believed to be of recent date. It is in part as fol lows: "Taku, China Written report of opr erations up to relief 'of the legations will be forwarded as soon as possible. Present conditions are that hostilities have practically ceased. Only occasion al shots fired from cover on small party repairing telegraph line and foraging. Considerable body of Chinese troops or boxers discovered here or along line of communication. . We hear Li Hung Chang has full power but he is not here. Will United States keep mili tary force here until terms of peace are arranged? Troops now in China about five thousand (effectives). I think this is ample force for United States unless political reasons not ap parent to me demand a larger force. Shall take 5,000 as basis of my re quirements for supplies." He tells of requirements of troops for winter campaign and says: "The wa ter is falling in the river rapidly; must soon haul supplies forty miles. Satis fied railroad connot be repaired before the river freezes." NO REPLY FROM ENGLAND. London, Sept. 5. England has made no reply as yet to the Russian proposal regarding the evacuation of Pekin, ow ing to the fact that no report on the sit uation has been received from its min ister to China. Shanghai, Sept. 4. There is no re cent news from Pekin. The American association at a meeting held today de cided to telegraph to Washington pro testing against the withdrawal of American troops from Pekin. WOMEN MISSIONARIES SPARED NO INDIGNITY Horrible Treatment Accorded Them Arouses Sentiment of Foreigners in Shanghai. Shanghai, Sept. 4 'Placards posted today in public places exhort foreign ers to oppose a compromise with the government and attack Li Hung Chang, quoting the remark credited to Earl Li that "the .foreigners in Pekin, except the ministers, were of .no ac count." The European co-immunity continues to demand the destruction of Pekin and the exemplary punishment of the officials and deeming indemnity and paper pr6mises of new treaties inade- M f Valuable Mineral j Property.

Three were beheaded in the inner court and others were killed barbarously in the outer court. yard. Their bodies were thrown to the dogs. The empress has ordered a commis sioner to investigate the conduct of the southern viceroys, who made a com pact with the foreign consuls, and their degradation is expected. No investiga tion of officials opposed to foreigners has been ordered. INDIGNITIES TO MISSIONARIES. From official sources the fact of the killing .of several American woman missionaries is learned.

Two of these Wto-men were captured while attempting to leave the stations where they were located. They were led about the: country naked, re peatedly outraged nd finally killed by a method too revolting to be described. Two other American women were coming to the coast with a party, which a number of Chinamen followed and stoned. The women fell exhaust ed and were taken by the Chinamen into the presence of the local officials1 They were prostrated upon the execu tion block and a feint was made of their being beheaded. One of them -became hysterical and laughed, and, thinking her insane, the Chinese es corted hereto the coast because of their superstition regarding the insane. On the journey, however, the woman was repeatedly criminally assaulted by her escort. The other woman, after being exhibited naked for many days,, and suffering assault by several men, was tortured to death by the same shameful methods as were practiced in other cases.' Two Swedish missionary wo men arrived at Shanghai, after similar experiences, except that their lives were spared. ENGLISH MISSIONARIES KILLED. The fourteen English missionaries, including six women and four children who were murdered at Chu Chau, iri the province of Che Kiang, according to the story of the Spanish, priest who es caped, were killed with hay forks, and ancient spears, by the magistrate's body guard, and their naked bodies were hanged from trees. TO CONSOLIDATE TWO COLORED CHURCHES Preliminary St-ps Being' Taken in Chicago Chicago, Sept. 4. The Record says: The Afrioan Methodist Episcopal Zion church representing a membership of more than 300,000, and the Colored Methodist church, representing an or ganized hody of 150,000 will consolidate and establish in Chicago a Methodist tabernacle that will be the most cost ly and imposing church structure own ed by a colored congregation in the United States. Preliminary steps in the consolidation were taken yesterday in a conference at Indianapolis in which Bishops Alexander Walters, B. G. Harris and G. W. Clinton and John C. Yancy, collector of the port of Wilmington, N. C, represented the Zion church and Bishop L. H. Holzey and Dr. C. H. Phillips, editor of the Christian Index, of Jackson, Tenn., were the spokesmen for the Methodist church. Consolidation was practically agreed upon at the general conferences of the two churches held last spring. At these meetings conference delegates were seledted and given full power ito act for their respective organization. There appears to be no difference of. opinion as to the couse to 'be pursued in the matter. The name of the con solidated organization will be the A. M. E. Colored Zion church, the present bishops of the two churches will be re tained and the general officers divided in accordance with the numerical strength of the old organizations.

Y., Sept. 4. The repub lican convention opened' here today. A telegram) was received from ex -Go v. F. S. Black saying that he would make ihe nominating -speed for Benj. B. Odell tofforrow. Timothy L. Woodruff in acoSting the permanent chairmanship of V CfPSivention saioMn part: 'pmething more than a partisan purpose devolves upon this convention. Parties and4 their conventions are in struments. They are" means to ends. They exist for the accomplishrrMflat of public objects. They should have for their ideals the maintenance of good government, the; application of right principles to public affairs, the ascer tainment of trigrwill of the people touching public policies and the embod iment of that wilVin prompt and ef fective legislation. The republican party is the giant instrument for the attainment of these ideas. "The Tammanyized democracy of New York is rent in twain. It is led by men wTho distrust each other, who dis trust the voice of the people, and who are distrusted by the people. These leaders have utterly missed the popular note. They are off the key on every state, nationalajd foreign question- tion. They hffejtraltorously missed the tone which tlfetgfeat state of New York would impresV6n the popular na tional note. For' the people of this state believe in honest money; they believe in the protection of American industry and labor; they believe in the establfehrnent of the independence of Cuba, a sound government in Porto Rico and the Philippines, and the pro tection of our people in China. They believe in the suppression of unlawful combinations of every character. SOUND MONEY. "The republican party in 1896 pledged itself to maintain the gold standard. That pledge has been kept! With the result that the United States has at tained a higher credit, paying less in terest for the use of money than any other nation in the world. Also, with this, result,: which comes close to the people, -that the burden of debt which ift 1806 clamored for the depreciated dollar has been removed by the pros perity incident to the retention of the honest dollar. Nevertheless, the dem ocratic party at Kansas City declared for a complete subversion of these con ditions. Should Mr. Bryan be elected it would be within his power and it would be his solemn duty, in view of his platform, to pay the. interest and principal of our bonded debt in silver coin even if gold were demanded by the holder of the bonds. In view of the silver plank in the democratic platform let no one be lulled into the belief that free silver is no longer an issue in this campaign. Did not Bryan as the prime condition of his acceptance, demand the reaffirmation of the Chicago plat form? This is a year when for obvious reasons state and national issues can not be separated. The national plat form of each party will be endorsed by the state convention of each .party. THE TARIFF. "Under the republican policy of pro tection, our countrv throughout its en tire length and breadth i enjoying un precedented prosperity. This condition the republican party proposes to main tain undisturbed. The democratic par ty is pledged to restore the disastrous tariff law of '94. "IMPERIALISM." "The attempted subordination of sound money and protection to the 'paramountcy' of so-called 'imperial ism' cannot retire these issues from the campaign. A party platform is no stronger than its weakest plank what ever be the location of the plank. This is especially true of an old plank which has once led the party through to a dis astrous fall. An imperialistic veneer ing has added nothing to its strength. In the campaign of 1892 President Har rison called the attention of the coun try to Cleveland's rashness in at tempting if elected, to handle the w!H horses of democracy. The prophecy in the suggestion was fulfilled, when f o 7 - years later the team ran away and wrecked the democratic party. This year it is a case not of wild horses, but of 'Young man afraid of his horses.' Two years ago the republican party was charged with the conduct of an unavoidable war for the sake of hu manity, forced on us by intolerable cru el tiesN perpetrated at our very door. CALL AND SEE That weare al ways prepared to supply, you with tne best Wines and WMskies... both imported and domestic at .; CAEE A7AED, Props. . 21 South Mt!i 'km tSt ' w3 i This war was undertaken only for no ble ends, splendidly conducted and speedily ended. It had its glories, but it brought its responsibilities, the im portance and extent of which human wisdom could neither foresee nor avoid. Among them are the pacifica tion and development of Cuba, held by us in trust, and the preparation of Porto Hico and the Philippines for American ideas and American institu tions. We accept these responsibilities. We recant nothing of our record. We will neither dodge nor flinch from any of our duties. The people of this state believe in upholding the flag and sus taining the president under whose ad ministration it was planted at the an tipodes of the earth, solely that the war with Spain might be brought to a speedy end. Our opponents denounce the use of our national power to main tain public order ffi these islands, which came under our control as an in cident in our humane effort to relieve the long suffering people of CUba from the cruel tyranny of Spain. They even belittled the beneficence that follows in the Wake of American commerce and American civilization. They advocate the repudiation of these obligations as they did of our financial obligations four years ago. They are committed to a policy of scuttle and surrender, to the abandonment of our responsibility as a nation. To thousands and tens f thousands of democrats a policy so un worthy of any American party is ab horrent. These democrats must vote with us or vote against their country. While they may be loth to break with their party, certainly they would not break with their country. The very satire of our opponents' position is that had they been entrusted with the direc tion of affairs they would have had to do exactly what the republican admin istration has done. "Mr. Bryan, a few days ago, said he was m favor of hauling down the American flag in the Philippines. Such a course would subject us to' the contempt of every nation in the world and leave American citizens every where at the mercy of those who for selfish ends or savage instincts might seek their injury or even their destruc tion. "As their antd-imperialistic tirade is the satire of their position regarding the external affairs of the nation, so is their relation to the trust question the hy pocrisy of 'rh'eir democratic position re garding the external affairs of the' na tion. In our state the republican party has placed upon the statute books anti trust laws as carefully perfecrtedt to meet the evils of monopolies, as human inge- nu'ity could devise. The republican par ty, which has everywhere advocated such legislation' as will effectively re strain and prevent the abuses of com binations, promote competition and se cure the rights of producers, laborers and all Who are engaged in industry, in troduced in the national congress last spring an anti-trust resolution for the accomplishment of these purposes. against which was cast the vote of nearly every democratic representative. Mark the insincerity of the democratic party, pledging itself to an unceasing wrarfare againsit private monopoly in ev ery form, when the greatest city of the nation, from the mayor himself down through all the ranks of the party, it has been engaged in maintaining a monopoly in ice by giving it almost complete control of all the. docks that can be used for it hat business, and thus making it possible to gouge the suffer ing residents of the thickly settled por tions a: tne city out or tneir scantv earnings, tor what ito ithem is a prime necessity or. life! Woe to the democraf who lifts his voice on the subject of trusts in the presence of the intellig'ent electors of the Empire State. Mr. Woodruff then discussed the state issues: "If there has been bad government he said," it has not been at Albany nor in any of the republican cities or coun ties of the state. If our chief executive has been asked to save the people f r m municipal and county mal-adminisi: ra tion, the request has been preferred by democmrats as well as by republicans, ana it has 'been in every instance for relief from democratic misrule. Repub lican 'administration has been w'.s? and economiibal. The fruits of i are seen in a decrease of the taxes paid by the (Continued on fifth page. t "R0CKBR00K FARM" CREAMERY BUTTER.

American Fleet of War Vessels Was Present in the Harbor. AN INCIDENT THAT LENT THE SPICE OF VARIETY TO THE CLOSE OP THE SUMMER SEASON AT THE MAINE RESORT. Bar Harbor, Me., Sept 4. Edward Van Nesis, of New York a wealthy sum mer resident, raised the Boer flag on his lawn as two Bng-lish Warships came into the harbor today. A mob gathered and there was great excitement until the flag was torn down by the chief of police. Just as the visiting warships dropped anchor Van Ness ran up the flag in full view of the fleet. Almost immediately a committee of fifty resi dents headed by the chief of police waited on Van Ness and requested him to pull down the flag. He refused, whereupon the halyards were cut and the flag lowered and trampled on the ground by an excited crowd, and one of the selectmen subsequently carried the flag- off amid the cheers of the crowd. Four British warships and e, torpedo boat- arrived in the harbor 'today on a visit. They exchanged salutes with the American warships and the officers subsequently exchanged visiti. RETURN THEIR COLORS. Ohio Company Keturns Flag of Louisiana Company Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 4. An inci dent out of the ordinary occurred at the reunion of the Forty-sixth Ohio volunteer infantry at Worthington, a suburb of Columbus, today. The col ors of the Thirtieth Louisiana regiment were returned to a committee of the survivors of that old organization. The flags were captured at Ezra Court House, just outside of Atlanta, Qa., . during the war of the rebellion and have been in the relic room of the state capitol here for many years. Today during the reunion Judge David Pugh made an address and turned the flags over to a committee composed of Messrs. Sheppard D. Harris, John A. Landry and James H. Brown, of New Orleans. Governor Nash was present and participated. NOT TO BUY COTTON ON SPOT.
