Washington, August 2. -Secretary
nay s reply to L.I Hung Chang has
closed the negotiations with China.
unless the old viceroy ia able to secure
the full acceptance of our terms rela
live to the foreign ministers, and that
at once.' No orders, 'therefore, looking
to a relaxation of the preparations for

L If rom Washington, for, as the situa
tion is described by one of the leading
omciais nere, "there will be no bar
gaining on our part in advance of the
c6ncession by the Chinese authorities
ror run and free communication with
the foreign ministers."
There is, moreover, a note ominously
close to actual war in Secretary Hay's
declaration that the conduct of the
ibmese government is "unfriendly."
That kind of language is extreme in
diplomacy, and there is only a narrow
siep oeiween it ana iormal war.
The impression prevails here that
the (Jhiuese government, if it is not
absolutely bereft of power to act in de
fiance of the Boxers, will accept our
terms, and spme such action is looked
for very soon. Possibly a battle, not
more, it js believed than one at most,
.will b required to bring the imperial
government to ine point of acceptance.

diplomatic tasks ever undertaken. It
in

use its good offices in favor "of ' China.
and in .the present, temper of some of
tr.e European powers the greatest diffi
culties may be expected to arise in the
prosecution of the attempt. It is the
confident expectation of the officials
liere, however, that if the Chinese gov
ernment actually and in good faith
meets all of the four conditions laid
down by the President in his reply to
the' Chinese Emperor's appeal for aid,
that at liast a majority of the pow
er now represented in China
will accept that - asr a proper basis
upon which to cease present hostilities
and open negotiations for a settlement
The decision of the majority in such a
.c.iso without doubt would .receive the
acquiescence, of the minority, else .an
interminable entangle might arise. ,
Secretary Root said this afternoon
there had been no developments which
would necessitate any changes in thje7
if.structions to General ' Chaffee, .or
w.Mcii would cnange tne intentions of
t!, government in the least. A cipher
' caMe message was sent t General
V. ud'te by Secretary ioot to-day
w hich contained additional informa
tion and facts which' have developed
since the last message was-sentr-him-at
Nagasaki. '. The message contained no
additional instructions, but imrely in
formation which he may use as a guide
t: his actions. 1
' It is not believed at the War De
Vi.trtriiei.t that an advance has been
m:ido as jet froni'Tien Tsin. It ia ex
jd.tii.ed that tha last dispatches indicat
cd a great deal of delay in unloading
tli troops and before any advanoecan
be mada the troops in ust have all their
equipments and transportation for
them. The indications are that the
plans being matured at Tien Tsrn con-tejiij.-late
a rapid advance when the
. movement begins, for it seems to be
understood that there will be carried
with the army a sufficientcy of supplies
to maintain the troops on the march to
Pekm and return, if a return should
be advisable. '
The fact that no reports .were, re
ceived from General Chaffee during
the day was not surprising to the War
Department officials, who said that the
general was busy preparing for the,
campaign, and moreover communica-
tion between Taku and Che Foo is un
certain. :
Ji The Correspondence.
Washinoton, August 2. The State
Department has made public the fol
lowing correspondence between Li
Ilurifr Chanc and thft Stat ft Dftnnrt-M
ment, regarding the; abandonment of
tha campaign on Pekin:
Telegram sent to the United States
Embassies, in Berlin, London, Paris,
Rome and St. Petersburg, and to the
United States Minister at Tokio:
"State Department,Wa8hington, Au
gust 1, 1000. In reply to a suggestion
of Li Hung Chang that the ministers
might be sent under safe escort to Tien
Tsin provided that the powers would
engage not to march on Pekin, the
Secretary of State replied on the 3Qth
of July: 7
"This government will not edter in
to any arrangement regarding the dis
position or treatment of legations
without first having free communica
tion with Minister Conger. Responsi
bility for their protection Tests upon
the Chinese government. Power- to
deliver at Tien Tsin presupposes pow
er to protect and open communication.
This is insisted on."
This message was delivered by Mr.
Good now on the 31st to Viceroy Li,
who then inquired whether,'"if free
communication were established be
tween ministers and their govern
ments, it could be arranged that the
powers should not advance on Pekin
pending negotiations." '
, .To this inquiry the following reply
was sent August 1st:
"Goodnow, Consul General Shang
haiI do not think it expedient to
submit the proposition of Earl Li to
the powers. Free communication with
our representatives in Pekin is de
manded ' as a matter of absolute
right, and not as a favor. Since the
Chinese government admits that it
possesses the power to give com
munication, it puts itself in an,
unfriendly attitude by denying it. No
negotiations seem advisable until the
Chinese government shall have put
the diplomatic representatives of the
powers in full communication with
their respective governments and re
moved all danger to their lives and
liberties: We would urge Earl Li
earnestly to advise the Imperial au
thorities of China to place themselves
in friendly communication and co-operation
with the relief expedition,
ihey are assuming a heavy responsi
bility in acting otherwise.

Chicago, August 2. The Record
to morrow will say:
William Jennings Bryan in a larKe

manager this year. Directly after the
notification ceremonies at Indianapo-
j.ne.xt , weelr the Democratic
candidate for President will return

njU come back with Mr. Bryan to this

share in arranging the lines for the
coming political fight. "
Mr. Johnson was told by Mr. Bryan,
over the telephone, of his intention to
return to Chicago from Indianapolis
to help in arranging the programme
for the campaign. , Mr. Johnson said
the candidate would probably be
here three or four days. Practically
the full roster of Democratic leaders
will go to Indianapolis for the notifi

air. ttryan for a session that will de
termine in its broad lines the way
the campaign is to be conducted.
it is said at headquarters that
Mr. Bryan is not dissatisfied with the
way the campaign has been run thus
far, but he feels that he has learned
good deal of politics since he was
candidate before and he .wants to put
it io practical use.

.London, August 3, 3.45 A. M. No
word comes this morning regarding

small body of troops believed to be
forging their way toward Pekin. The
silence is probably due to diligent cen

Hon Jno. D. Bellamy, Wilmington,
"Sir: You are quoted in the Ra-

me from the State. Do you mean that
you feel it your duty to forcibly ex
pel me from the State, or do you mean
that some one else should doit? Do
you mean that one man should under
take it, or that a cowardly, lawless
mob should do it?
"Now if you think I should be ex
pelled from the State, I suggest that
you undertake the job yourself. You
are one man, and I am one man.
If you mean what you say, and have

If you have not the courage to under

GLORIOUS VICTORY.
New Hanover Contributed Liber
ally Toward Making White
Supremacy Permanent.
THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.
Was Quiet As the Sabbath and White
Men Did Nobly Contest Close for
White Supremacy Banner In
. cidents of the Election.
The election in Wilmington and
New Hanover yesterday passed off just
as everybody expected quietly and
without an untoward incident; the fact
is there was simply no opposition to
the white man's ticket and only two
votes were cast against it, as will ap
pear from the detailed vote published
in tabulated form in another column.
The polls were opened at sunrise and
a majority of the vote was cast before
mid-day. Men appeared eager' to vote
and the full strength of the ticket was
more nearly polled than in any former
election in many years. There were
active canvassers at each precinct and
the friends of the Amendment, were on
the alert The keenest interest was
manifested in the way the contest was
being waged in other Eastern counties
and news from every source that simi
lar conditions to those in Ne w Hanover
county were existing else where brought
gladness to every heart, for Wilming
ton people and the Democrats in gen
eral have counselled peaceable meth
ods, notwithstanding the vile measures
adopted by Butler and his vile hench
men in Eastern counties, especially.
At Southport yesterday a report be
came current that a number of negroes
would be imported there and that they
would arrive on the steamer Buck in
the afternoon. . The boat was met at
the landing by determined red shirts
who would allow the perpetration of
no such crime against their rights.
Capt. .Ward, master of the boat,
assured the people that he had no
negroes aboard nor would he think of
allowing them passage on his craft for
such a wicked purpose. News from
Brunswick was very meagre yester
day. Much interest attached to the
contest for the Legislature between
Dr. McNeill and Mr. P. M. Moore.
Upper townships in the county, it is
said, w&t solidly for Moore, Republi
cans and Democrats alike voting for
him. His friends confidently predict
his election.
The bitterest partisan cannot lay at
the door of Democracy the least sub
stantiated charge that intimidation
was in evidence at the polls yesterday
or during the period of registration.
The negroes, stripped of unscrupulous
leaders, positively declined to take any
interest whatever in politics.
The news of the great victory in the
State, though expected from the very
outset, was received joyously by Wil
mingtonians and the Star office was
thronged with anxious inquirers until
mid-night, some even remaining un
til after that hour.
An interesting feature of the elec
tion in Wilmington was the contest
between the various wards for the ele
gant White Supremacy banner offered
by the Executive Committee to the
ward casting the largest percentage of
its registered vote for the amendment
and that the trophy was earnestly
striven for is attested by the fact that
to which ward it belongs is still in
doubt. The First, Second, Third and
Fifth wards all lay claim to the dis
tinction of receiving this testimonial
of their valiant work and ; it appears
that each of them has fa very logical
basis for its contention. The Second
ward cast 443 out of 450 registered
votes; the Third, 522 out of 524 and
the First and Fifth wards did equally
as well.
News from Faison was anxiouly
sought yesterday in view of the special
telegram' published in the Star yester
day morning telling of the attempt to
burn the town night before-last Last
night no arrests had been made but
citizens were patroling the streets to
guard against a repitition of the of
fence. -An enthusiastic admirer of Govern
or Aycock last night telegraphed con
gratulations as follows: MA-rCOCk'f(
Governor makes us all crow. Accept
heartiest congratulations." :
Chairman Simmons was also the re
cipient of many congratulations from
Wilmington upon -the brilliant cam

nal success.

chair, to a higher nlann to aatvo iha
people ? He is worthy and the people
do trust him.
: But, to return to the issue of
"white supremacy." After the land
slide in 189.4, and Democrats felt
almost overpowered, enthusiasm al
most gone, many were studying the
conditions, and hoping for some ray
of light or some issue that would
unite again the white people, so that
on November 3Mh. 189?. T tTior,
being a member of your Democratic
.executive committee lor the State,
offered the following resolution be
fore that bodv:
"Resolved, That all white electors
who intend to vote with us in the
next election, and who d pair a thon.
establishment of Anglo-axon supre
macy ana nonest government in
North Carolina, are cordially invited
to participate in all our LirimnrloB "
Many of the older and perhaps
wiaer memoers inougnt the time
was not riDe. or the issn wnni in
spire as of yore. Still, after five
nours aeoate, it passed the com
mittee, and on the morning of De
cember 1st. 1897. was TMiMishod
in all the daily papers, and by them
kept constantly before the people, in
the homes and in thn handa anH
hearts of the wives .and daughters
of every household, and these sent
a message, by the delegates to the
State convention, that the issue is
now settled "White Supremacy."
Did it succeed? 'All knOw the re
sult; how the white neoDle rfisnnnd-
ed, and before the campaign was
over iney demanded that the issue
which brought such a snltmdid vic
tory should be written in the or-
game law and lorever vouchsafe to
the whole people peace, good wUl
and an honest government.
The magic words "Anglo Saxon"
written in that resolution, in. the
committee room on the night afore
said, went out to the people, who
responded, as they ever will, that
white people shall be free. When I
look back over these few days and
know that I sowed the seed that
has grown so rapidly and success
fully into a full grown flower of
purity and whiteness, I do indeed
feel gratified, and if I am personal
my excuse is that a misapprehen
sion is removed and an error cor
rected. Very truly,
H. L. STEVEN'S.

Durham Herald: Little Miss
Mollie Eubanks, the nine year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tas. S. Eu
banks, was horribly burned at her
home near the Commonwealth cotton
mill late Tuesday afternoon, from the
effects of which she will probably die,
if death has not already relieved her
of her sufferings. It is the same old
story of a child with an oil can
attempting to start a fire; the oil
ignited, the can exploded and she was
burned to death before help could
reach her side.
Brave Men Fall
; Victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles as well as women, and the re
sults in loss of appetite, poisons in the
blood, backache, nervousness, head
ache and tired, listless run-down feel
ing. But there's no need to feel like
that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, ' Ida
ville, Ida. He says: "Electric Bit
ters are just the thing for a man when
he is all run down, and don't care
whether he lives or dies. It did more
to give me new strength and good
appetite than anything I could take.
I can now eat anything and have a
new lease on life." Only 50 cents, at
