Nothing Under Consideration Between Great Britain and the United States of a Sensational Character. V By Telegraph to tbe Morning star. Washington, November 8 Of ficials here are at a los$ to know what is meant by th mysterious London dispatch relative to Anglo American relations as 1 to China, which was of such a startling character that it could not be published. It is stated that there is nothing under consideration in this line at present between Great Britain aod the United States that be said to be of a sensational character. The Chinese government, through its minister n Washington, WTing Fang, is keeping a watchfuleye on the recent developments' relating to China. Within the lasfew -days Ministei Wii conferred wth Secretary Hay, with a view to learning to what extent the United States had acted. The response of theSecretary of State is understood to be quite full and frank, and to the effect that at the re quest of the President our ambassa dors and ministers abroad had been asked to secure difinite assurances that there should.be no interruption to the access of American trade and com merce to the interior of China through the treaty ports. " The view prevails that while there will be no difficulty in securing gen eral assurances of a favorable charac ter, it is not so certain that a definite statement in writing or other tangible form will be given. Those best ac quainted with the subject hold that -Great Britain, Germany and Russia will coincide with the American view, and that "if any objection comes it is likely to arise in France, as the French policy in Madagascar and Cochin , China is to give preferential rates to French goods and discriminations against foreign goods. From this it is implied thai France would not give a definite assurance that American com merce will j be on equal terms in China . where French spheres of in iluence prevail. London, November 8 The Morn ing Post publishelNthe following dis patch from Washington : "Negotiations in London have. re sulted in . an agreement between Great Britain, China and the United States to I maintain their "open door" policy in China, which power will undertake to develop both British and American trade. It is un derstood that Germauy and probably Russia will give the United States written assurances as to the mainten ance of the open door." WORK OP PROFESSIONALS. Sheriffs S fe at Hillsboro, N.

British Porce Assembled to Re-occupy the Place Reinforcements Prom Durban Arrive at Estcourt Troopships Have Not Yet Arrived.- ' By Came to the Morning star. London, Nov. 9. The molt inter eating news to night ia a dispatch from Estcourt, announcing the departure of a strong force of mounted troops and artillery for a destination not given in the ad vices. Another message an nounces the arrival at Estcourt and Pietermaritzburg within the last few aays or reinforcements from Durban J uu iuu miny-nve nunarea troops are assembled, ready for an advance to Colenso when the opportune fo ment 1 arrives. 'The latter; dispatch throws light upon the former and the force which left Estcourt Monday has doubtless re-occupied Colenso' and possibly is now advancing cautiously up the railroad toward Ladysmith. General White's sortie of Friday, al most to the banks of the Tugela river, encourages its commander with the nope of joining hands with him. , General Joubert, the latest advices would indicate, drew in his horns af ter u riday's engagement and has since withdrawn the southern Boer con tin gentsjeaving only outposts on the line trom Liaay smith to Colenso. The Jsoers who occupied Colenso about the middle of last week, retired with out damaging Bui wer bridge over the Tugela river, or the railroad as far north as the village of Nelthrope, seven "miles south of Ladysmith. Evidently they nurse a hope of even tually utilizing both in their descent on Pietermaritzburg. Meanwhile the T , 1 1 . ... unuau are aiso aoie 10 use ootn, as they ' have already done, in running up an armored train which may at the present moment be covering the ad vance of the Estcourt force. Troopship sHave Not Arrived. None of the troopships has arrived. Thepne which it was predi cted might reacn uape Town at the earliest on Monday is as yet unannounced, and even when it does arrive there, it will naye tares aays steaming to reach Durban. As many as six transports with 4 500 troops are expected to be in Capo Town harbor by this time, but the war office last evening issued a statement to the effect that the onlv arrivals at Cspe Town were the Suma tra, from Duroan. with wounded, the Southern Cross from ' Gibraltar with mules and the collier Wen voe. Of course it is possible that dis patch boats have been sent to meet the troopships with instructions to proceed direct to Durban, and in that event tne war Office statement that not one. has arrived at Cape Town would be literally acsurate, even though sev eral should be half-way between Cape Town ana Durban.

The reported departure of a Boer contingent from Pretoria, with Ger man artillery gunners, moving in a southerly direction, is taken to mean co operation in the invasion of the northern portions of Cape Colony, an undertaking which, thus far, has not progressed very rapidly. Ke ports of a treacherous use of the white flag by the Boers, coming from native sources, are not received with complete credulity, but, at the same ti ne their reiteration is "making an unfavorble impression. Battle of Nicholson's Nek. - Cape Town, Sanday, November 5. The folio win? is an official descrip lion from Pretoria of the battle of Nicholson's Nek: '"General Joubert was in supreme (uimmaTiH Thn RritiVirs nrlva.nn.pd in the darkness on the RepuSlicforces on the right of the hill, formed by the Free Staters, commanded by General Cronie. A stampede of their mules threw the whole force into disorder. The British batteries were observed in a loner line on the plains in the direc tion of the Boers' centre, along the table hill, from which our artillery opened on the English batteries coming into position from Lombardskop with a ereusot. The second shell fell in their midst. It was followed by shot after shot, drawing the British con cealed batteries. From six to twelve the hill was a veritable inferno of hissing, whistling fragments of shells. 'At first the British failed to reach, the hill, while the Boer fire told heavily. Eventuallv the British reached the Boers and showered shells on our gun ners. The Boers could only occa sinnallv fire their euns.

So-called Neutral Zone in Africa to be Di vided Between Germany and Qreat Britain A Relinquishment of Certain Herman Rights. By Cable to the Morning Star. Berlin, Nov. 8. It was officially announced this morning thatan agree ment, subject to the approval of the United States,. had been arrived at be tween Great Britain and Germany, by virtue ui wnicu me oamoan act is re-? pealed and the islands of Upola, Savaii.and the small adjacent islands fall to Germany as free property, and the island of Tutuila and the subsid uary islands go to the United States. Great Britain, it is added renounces any claim to the Samoan islands and (Germany, in turn, renounces anv claim to the Tonga islands - and to Savage island, in favor of Great Brit ain, and also concedes Choiseul and San Isabel, the two easterly islands of the Solomon group, with their insula? surroundings to Great Britain. The consular representatives of the two powers in Samoa and the Tonga islands are to be withdrawn for the present, and German subjects are to have the same rights as British sub jects in regard to the free and unim peded enlistment of native laborers in the whole of the Solomon erroun in the possession of Great Britain, in cluding Choiseul and San Isabel. Territory in Sooth Africa Divided. At the same time an agreement has been arrived at between the two powers, by virtue of which the so- called neutral zone in the hinterland of Genman togoland the British gold coast will be divided in such man ner that the boundary of the German and British territories will be formed by the Paka river up to a point where the latter cuts the ninth degree of latitude, thence north by a line to be hxed by a mixed commission. To this is appended a reservation that the countries of Mamprusi and Gambasa shall fall to Great Britain and the countries of Teudi and Chakosi to Germany, Finally, according to the decision of the colonial council, Ger many has promised to renounce her extra territorial rights in Zanzibar till the expiration of the commercial treaty in 1902, with the proviso that the renunciation is only effective when the other nations abandon their extra-territorial rights in Zanzibar in favor of Great Britain. Regarding this agreement, it is observed that the United states assent is regarded as assured. A. iurther agreement concluded be tween Germany, Great Britain and the United States is to the effect that the Question of compensation for claims- for damage daring the late trouble is to be submitted to an im perial court of arbitration, which will dtcide tne claims. Confirmed in London. London. November 8. The British Foreign Office to-day gave out a state ment in regard to the Samoan agree ment similar to that issued ia Berlin, showing that the United States gets the Tutuila and other Samoan islands east of the 171st degree of longitude, The Berlin correspondent of the uatiy man says ne nas learneu iuai . 1 1 , I i. 4. the Samoan agreement contains se cret clauses relating to South Africa, whereby the plans of Cecil Rhodes are advanced a step towara realiza tion.

LEGISLATURE IS DEMOCRATIC Contested by Republicans The Legisla ture Will Decide Ohio's Elec tionThe Result In Other States. Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star. Louisville, Nov. &.-N6 matter what result the face of the returns of yesterday's State election shows, a contest is very likely to occur. Addi-. tional returns received to-day and tq- night, continue to show Republican gains, and basing an estimate upon - the normal complexion of the pre cincts still unreported indicate a plu-' rality of six thousand or eisrht thou sand for W. 8. Taylor for -Governor. The belated returns are mostly from mountain counties which are strongly Republican. The Goebel people cling to their claim of a plurality of 5,000 in the State, these figures being, the estimate made by the nominee himself to-night. At Republican headquarters, in this city, Taylors plurality is placed at 8,000. In neither case is it possible to get the figures upon which the claim is based, each side evidently fearing that giving publicity to the reports of its agents throughout the State might work to the advantage of its opponent in the event of a contest. - Legislature Will Decide. Louisville. Ky., November 8. In view of the probability of a contest over the vote for Governor, this state ment, made by Chairman Long at 11 o'clock to-night, is significant: Said Mr. Long: "The .Legislature is close, but I think we have lost both houses. From semi official ; returns from all counties except twelve and careful estimates from these we have carried the State by eight thousand plu rality for Taylor." In the event of a contest it will come before the Legislature. This is the case only with the offices of Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The law covering this point provides that a board for determining a contest for Governor shall be chosen in the Legis lature by lot, the Senate selecting three and the House eight members. The decision of this board is not final nor conclusive. It must report to the General Assembly, where further ac tion may be taken. To-night s developments bring the Legislature into prominence, because of the probability that it ultimately will have to determine who is to be the next Governor of Kentucky. In all expressions upon the result of the election, coming from Democratic headquarters, the Legislature has been claimed as safe for that party. No statement of its make up has been given, but it is probable a number of the members claimed by the Demo crats are not Goebel men. If the strength of the two. great parties is nearly equal these anti Goebel Demo crats probably would hold the bal ance of power, thus furnishing all the elementsf or a repetition of the excit ing and bitter contest of 1897, which resulted in tbe defeat of Blackburn for the United States Senate. While the returns on the head of the tickets are incomplete, but little attention has been paid to the figures on members of the Legislature, and until the con test between tbe leaders is cleared up somewhat it will be hard to get an accurate estimate of the relative strength of the parties in the Assem bly. Goebel Claims His Election. Frankfort, Ky, November 8.- Senator Goebel arrived here at 8 o'clock to-night and was met at the train by a crowd of 1,500 enthusiastic followers. From the balcony of the Capital hotel where his headquarters is located, Mr. Goebel made a speech in which he said: 1 believe 1 have been elected m fact I know I have. I see my friend General Taylor says he will resume the office of Governor. All I have to say is. if I have been elected, as I be lieve, 1 will be inaugurated in spite oi tbe Louisville and Nashville railroad and Bradley's bayonets." Ex-Senator Blackburn also spoke, claiming Goebel s election by a slen der majority and calling on the peo ple to see to it that he is seated. Louisville. Ky., November 8. Re turns received by the Courier-Journal un to midnight give Goebel a plurality in the- State, outside of the i Eleventh district, of 15.300. The Eleventh dis trict. as far ai received, shows the usual Republican majorities. Six counties in this district which last night reported Taylor pluralities. to-night send revised figures in creasing these, pluralities by 1,300. On the other nand tne f irst dis trict, in the the extreme western part of the State, the banner Democratic district, increases its plurality for Goe bel several hundred over! the figures returned last night. " Warrants have been sworn out asrainst upward of 200 elections officers and otners in ljouisvnie, aueging in timidation of voters. The cases will be presented to the Federal grand jury.

Unoffi cial returns from Baltimore city and all the counties of the State show that thtfTtemocrats swept practically every thine before them in yesterday's con test . John Walter Smith, Dr. Joshua Herring and Isidore Bayner, their can didates for Governor, Comptroller and Attorney General, respectively, were elected over tne jsepuoiican candi dates by approximately - ll,o00 ma jority. The official count, it is thought, will not materially change these figures. The Democrats elected eleven State Senators for four-year terms, which, with their: four hold overs, will crive them "fifteen out or a total membership of twenty six in the nnner house of the General Assembly. - In the ldwer house, composed of ninetv-one members, the Democrats oW.tnd sixty six. while the Republi cans will have only twenty-five dele gates m the Legislature to meet January of next year. Iowa Returns. Dss Moines. November 8. Returns from ninety of the ninetv-nine counties in the State, with estimates on the others, show that the Republican claim of 60,000 plurality for Governor Shaw is easily maintained and may go slightly above that figure.. His ma jority over all candidates for Governor is estimated at 48.000. largest in tbe history of the State on the gubernato rial vote. The Legislature will stand: Senate 35 Republicans and 15 Demo crats. House -83 Republicans and 17 Democrats; a gain of 17 votes on jaint ballot for the Republicans. Both the Gear and Cummins forces claim a ma jority of the Republican votes for the U S. Senatorship. ' New York. New York, Nov. 8.

Bullish enthusiasm broke out with irresisti ble force when the market opened this morning and continued almost all dav. The market started in irregular form very active, with the current crop positions seven to twelve points bierher and October five cents higher. While there was a slight reaction from this' level shortly after' the opening, the general trend of variations was. steadily upward on tremendous buy- in er for European, Southern invest ment and local short account. Bv mid-afternoon the more ac tive positions i Bhowed an advance of eighteen points on Monday's close. Throughout the late advance profit- takinsr figured conspicuously, setting aside fears of top heavy conditions ob taining. To-day's improvement was based in part upon strong Liverpool cables and in part upon very bullish information from the cotton belt. New Orleans and other places reported ex porters were bidding 3-16 cent higher prices ior supplies, out inai noiaera wam rafusinp to sell as a rule, pend ingfurther developments in New York and Liverpool.; xne maraet was nnai ly steady with present crop options up 17 to 20 points and next crop options up 8 to 10 points.
