London, September 2. The continued absence of news from Pekin, the latest dispatches from the Chinese capital being now ten days old, is arousing some anx iety; but as the country between Pekin and the coast is known to be swarming with armed bands of Boxer?, it is not surprising that couriers are not able to reach Tieu Tin. Shanghai reports are "to the effect that heavy French reinforce ments are landing at Taku. Li Hung Chang, it is stated, has told a diplomatist that Kustda, considering the mission to Pekin accomplished, ha agreed to request the powers to follow Ler example and withdraw their mtnisters and troops. , The French consul, however, declares that such a request to France is entirely improbable. A special diopatch from Berlin says it is reported that Germany has rejected the liussian proposal for the withdrawal of the troops and has made a counter projoal that KasHa shall retire, leav ing the other powers to follow their own courw.

I NORTH CAROLINA'S WEALTH Her Natural neaonreea Itlcb Beyond Ioialar KnarflcdBC It Is expected that a closer acquaint ance with the great Pan-American Ex nosltlon to be held at Buffalo next year will convince the people of North Carolina of the wisdom of being re presented by a. proper state exhibit Where there is one reason for the state's representation at Paris there are a score of good reasons why It should have an exhibit at Buffalo. The great markets Into, which this state sends her prod' nets are the cities of the United States. The state is seeking, not settlers speak ing a foreign tongue but Americans from any state who are looking for grand opportunities for Investment or for encaging actively la profltame lines of business.; Many of our own people do'notjrealisce that they have one of the most productive state in tne union and one of the richest In natural re sources. Both In agricultural products and possibilities and In i mineral r wealth North ' Carolina la one of the most favored states of the Union.; All agri cultural Interests hare rapidly advanc ed since 1800. The corn crop of 1803 approximated 30,000,000 bushels and that of 1S04, 33,000,000 bushels. Much attention has been given to truck farm ing, and as much as $750,000 worth of produce has been shipped from a single town In one season. Peanuts are ex tonRlvelv crown by our citizens'. North Carolina' having been at one time al most the only source of supply for the United States., Since 1870 mucn atten tion has also been given to grape cul ture, both for the manufacture of wine and supply cf the northern market with grapes. The climate and soil are especially adapted to the culture of the vine ' and vineyards are rouna in ai most Ml sections. It will Interest many to learn that no state has within Its boundaries so many of the plants used in medicine, the Atlantic slope of the Blue Ridge furnishing 2,500 varle- tiM 1 rni firm annually ships over 2,000,000 pounds, the dried roots, herbs onH hrk frolne to all parts of the world. 1 In the cotton year ending Aug. 31, isn? tin area under cultivation for cotton was 1.311,708 acres and the pro duction 020,620 gross bales. For the year 1899-1000 the area was 1.220,000 and the estimated yield 193 pounds of lint cotton per acre. - -.. The timber lands of North Carolina are one of Its most valuable posses slons. The great variety of soils and the wide range of climate give rise to a rich and varied forest growth, in the southeastern counties under the In fluence of the gulf stream are found the magnolias, palmettos, live oaks aud other semltroplcal trees, wbile on tne higher mountains of the west are the spruces and firs. The state abounds in pines, and from this tree Is derived one of Its most valuable products that of turpentine. Out of 22 oaks Indige nous to the United States. North Caro lina has 19. It has all the light pines. four of the five spruces, six of the eight hickories and all of the seven magnolias. . The mineral wealth of North Carolina fs as boundless as Its agricultural and forest 'resources, and the further de velopment of this wealth offers great Inducements to capitalists seeking In vestment They have no need to go to South Africa or the golden sands of Cape Nome. There are both gold and silver to be mined in paying quantities in North Carolina. Work is being pushed in the Greer, CappI Hill. Suai merviUe and other mines in Mecklen burg county; in several mines in Cs barras county, at the Gold IHIL Dutc'j Creek, and one or two ether points la Rowan county; at the Belle mine Ij Moore county. Fortes mine In Frackllu county, Mann-Arrington mine In Narh county and at points in Stanly and Montgomery counties. In silver the most notable activity is at the Silver 11111 mines In Davison county and the Troutman, near the di viding line between Rowan and Ca barrns counties. There was a notable gain in gold mining In 1SDS, the out put being 4.CKJ1 fine ounces, valued at ?S4.ooa Corper and Iron mines are be In. 3 worked, and quarrying is carried on upon aa extensive scale. la mere were quarried granite valued at $73,7 and sandstone and limestone valued st J3.100, total, J30.C74.

Republioana Prepared to Steal the Eleotion. , Have Boodle to Bum. Chicago, Aug. . 31. Ex-Gov. John - P. Altgeld wants the Democratic national committee to organize a vigilance com mittee to watch, the count of ballots next November, lie declares that the Republicans are depending on fraud and crime at the polls to carry the election, and for that purpose have raised f 25,- 000,000, from the trusts.- Democratic managers say they will keep a better watch this year than they did in 1896. Mr. Altgeld made, in part, the follow ing statement: ----.;' "In 1892 Cleveland carried Kentucky by about 43,000 majority. In 1896 Mr. Bryan got about 43,000 more votes than had been cast 4 for Cleveland; so be evidently carried the state by about 80,000 votes, yet it was counted for Me Kinley, This was accomplished by means of false returns and wholesale frauds com mitted in Louisvillo and in the moun tain districts, which were Republican, "Careful examination of the rt turns from Ohio in 1896 showed there were from 50,000 to 70,000 fraudulent votes counted. In Indiana there were between 80,000 and 40,000 more votes returned than were legally cast. In Illinois every method of fraud was practiced that was known to man. V 1 " "In Chicago a careful comparison of the vote returned in 1896 with the votes of prior years shows that In the neighbor hood of 72,000 more votes were returned than were honestly cast at that election, and for the entire state upwards of 100,- 000 fraudulent votes were returned. I do not believe the Republicans can prac tice frauds this year on such a wholesale plan as they did in 1896. y ' "We reel tnat tpese crimes can De pre vented. I believe that itour people will form vigilance committees in every pre cinct of this country, make a careful list of all the legal voters and then take a position inside the booths when the counting is in progress and see that there is no false count made and that the rotes cast for theDemocratic ticket are not counted for the Republican candidates and that there is an honest return, then we will sweep the country from one end ! to the other, and the Republicans will; not be able to carry ..eight states' in the union." The Diploma tlo Line-Up. Charlotte Observer. The diplomatic difficulties in the set tlement of the Chinese problem are roul- tiplyinsr. The world has been startled bv the proposition of liussia to with draw troops from China and by the im mediate acceptance by the United States of that proposition. Japan win proo ably fall in with it. England is taking a day off to consider it, uo doubt, trying to figure out what Bussia's game is and quoting tne Kipling couplet to nersen: 1 . !iL A J J juase ye no iruee witu auuiuzuu, The bear ttmt walks like a man, while Germany is thrown ' into conster nation, because she is hurrying a big army and a big generalissimo to China to avenge the murder of her minister, and the Russo-American proposition knocks her plans in the . head. The indications are that Russia made the proposition through jealousy of tne power and pres tige accruing to Germany by reason 01 the acceptance by tne powers 01 .field Marshal Von Walderseeascommanderdn chief of the allied forces in . China. Em peror William immediately swelled up and talked out of his mouth in his usual impulsive, impetuous way and now he is payiug the penalty of his rashness. Russia may be willing to wnnaraw rom Pekin but nobody believes she has any idea of giving np Manchuria, which her armies have just conquered, having been attacked by the Chinese troops soon after the Boxer riots broke out. But the Russian proposition suits the United , States very well. We do not want to keep troops in China and we could very easily fall in with . the Crar's government's scheme. It has resulted in tne yoking together lor tne moment 01 the two most powerful and compact na tions on the face of the globe. And by the way what a wheel horse we are, anyhow. Further developments will be watched with world-wide interest. Se!it;tnte For m Pork-t.

The Exposition authorities will have pre pared a very large bound book, which will be put In a prominent place for the purpose of giving every province, county or territory of each country or state the privilege of entering therein descriptions of geographical position and the adaptability of soil, climatic advantages, water, water power, um ber, Important rivers traversing terri tory, and manufactories. In fact, ev erything will be included In that book that would be of interest and general advantage for the county or province making application and taking advan tage of this liberal offer. This book will be placed In a position so that vis itors at the Exposition may examine its pagesthus bringing before them jt a glance the, advantages of the coup ties that are so fortunate as to securo space in this valuable book, we un derstand from the authorities that the cost will not be exorbitant for the in sertion. It will be for the people to say whether they will take advantage of this liberal offer or liot, y - ; We can see nt once the great good that "might be accomplished, at small cost for, our, different sections of the state, la presenting the advantages and resources of North Carolina. We could truthfully say that our state possesses a variety of soils, productions and en matic advantages . not possessed by many other countries. V ' We would first present to the reader thft nflantabilitv of our soils .for the different croris and products. Refer ence could be made to the western por tlon of our state and Its suitability for all kinds of grasses, grains, Btock rais ing, etc.; the Piedmont section for to bacco, cotton and all the different ce reals; and the eastern section for tnt pentlne, rice,l lumber, manufactories and fisheries. We would thus present to a very large clientage our various advantages and enterprises, thereby encouraging the most desirable class of Immigration: to our state. We could easily show that North Carolina would be as desirable a country to live In an any state in the Union, and It is as easy a place in which to procure a good liv ing and a competency as any country on the globe. Shall we take advantage of. this offer? I cannot think that our grand old state will take a single step backward, but it will try to keep pace with or in advance of our sister south ern states, We notice that some of our southern state3 are putting forth every effort In this direction, and we should not for a moment think of permitting our state to lag. "Progression, onward and upward," should be our motto. I have had the pleasure of being in the city of Buffalo for some time and have been In close touch with the Pan American officials.' I find that they are exerting every effort within their power to make this Exposition a grand success. ' Every official Is a man of the highest character and -ability and of high social standing, and not one stone will be left unturned to make the Exposition what It purports to be a great and grand Exposition.-And as your" representative here I have been doing all la my power to arouse an In terest among the lending citizens of our state by correspondence in reference to this opportunity to display our products to such an advantage that it will prove to be a fine thing for our state. I have written letters and mailed maps, cir culars and prospectuses Into nearly every county in the state, and any one desiring any of the literature descrip tive of the Pan-American Exposition can procure It by advising me at 22 Dart striH-t.- Buffalo, or by writing to the director gentral direct. I will be plonscd to hear frcm any one In my state iu reference to the matter. " W. P. Porteb, Vice Preside nt for North Carolina, ran- Amerlcaa Exposition.
