at St. Petersburg, Yang Yu was ob-
liged to give up his palatial residence
and seek cheap quarters because of the
lack of remittance from Pekin, is dis-
posed of by Mr. Si, one of the Chinese*
officials, who has recently arrive.1 hero
from St. Petersburg. He says that Mr.
Yang Yu gave up his house because
his leafe had expired, and he expected
to be recalled. This was before tli'J
present trouble and was in no
way due to lack of remittance. As a
matter of fact that information reach-
ed here shows that the Chinese govern-
ment is now carrying on its various
governmental functions. There has
been a decrease in revenues due to the
disorder, but the remaining system of
of government business is going on the
same as ever. This Is so, us the
Chinese legation here Is said to hve
suffered no Inconvenience by reason of
the upheavel.
An official communication received
here through diplomatic channels
makes the rather surprising statement
that Li Hung Chang Is at present us-
ing all his efforts to have one or more
of 'the powers dissent from Russia's
proppsltion, believing that a rupture
of the allies would be a greater ad-
vantage «to China than any agreement
of favorable basis put forward by Rus-
sia.

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 4—A very
Interesting dispatch was received to-
day at the war department from Gen.
Chaffee. It described 'the military sit-
uation as eminently satisfactory und
would have been of great value but
for the omission common to all official
dispatches from China, namely the
date line. However, taking into consid
eration the fact that a cablegram was
received by the state department to
flay dated five days ago from !M n s-
ler Conger, the conclusion was reach-
ed that Gen. Chaffee's dispatch w
also sent from Pekin about August
or 30.
Gen. Chaffee asks a very Important
tjuestion as to the withdrawal of the
American troops. The answer to tha*
question, It is paid, might have been
found in the state department's ans-
wer to the Russian evacuation prop
osition. Hut that answer or rather «•
synopsis of it, wap noit cabled to Ge<.
Chaffee upon the 30th, and it is assum-
ed that, allowing for the same time in
transmittal as was consumed by G«*n
Chaffee's dispatch received today, the
synopsis has Just readied him. When I ~p"port""h
the AmeMca nanswer t<> tne Russian
proposal was made public, 1: was stat-
ed here that Gen. Chaffee had been
Instructed f <m•• time before by tie-
graph just what to do in the matter
of retiring from Pekin in the event of
the emerbency that afterward aros-.
This being so, today's application for
instructions might be regarded as an
Indication that he had not received tho
original instructions when he sent his
message.
It is stated that no order has been
sent to Gen. Chaffee to leave Pekin
fts 'the result of any recent devlooment
In fact, it would je.-m that the war
department is not abl to instruct him
more specifically on this point unt:l
the decision of the powers relative t<\
general execution Is known. It was
stated at the war d> partmemt that our
position was unchanged, if Russia
withdaws her tn-ops, then Gen. Chaffee
will do the same. Meanwhile, It Is
gathered that conditions in China are
still disordered and foreign life and
property are still unsafe.
The dispa'tch received from Minister
iConger was gratifying to officials as
that contained the date of Pekin, Aug-
ust 30, as an intergral part of the mes-
sage and this port in cipher. Aside
from bringing the Information up to
a recent date, it satisfied the officiaJs
that the minister had at last receiv-
ed the Instructions to Include the place
and date of each message as an in-
tegral part of It. This promises 'to d"
away with the great confusion cans d
thus far in dateless messages.
The text of the Conger dispatch was
not made public.
It was authoritatively stated in 'his
Iconnection that Minister Conger will
remain at his post until further orders
TTp to this time he has expressed no
wish to be relieved, and the s'tate de-
partment holds that since h has pass-
ed through teh perilous ordeal of s ege.
he Is not likely to desire relief until
jnore favorable conditions prevail.
In view of the statement of Count
Lansdorf, Russian milster of foreign
affairs, in the Official /Messenger that
orders a.lread had been Issued to the
army to leave Pekin, the statement
was made at the state department to-
day that no such determination had
been communicated to Washington.
Probably nothing shont of an official
statement from Pekin to the effect
that the Russians had withdrawn
would be regard d by our government
as sufficient bat-Is for such Important
action as the wlthdawal of our 'troop*.
In diplomatic qu iters Russia's mo-
tives continues to be a fruitful theme
The theory advanced by Blowltz In
the London Times, that It was an off-
fvt to Frunce for Russia's nomination
of Count Von Waldersee is regard-
ed as purely fanciful. A much simpler
nnd more reasonable explatnation Is nd-
vanced by one of diplomatic of-
ficials who has taken an active part
in the negotiations. He says that Rus-
sia recognizes fhe obvious fact that t
Js to her advantage 'to have a weak
neighbor. Instead of having a partition
of China which would range a number
of powers along side of Russia. For
this reason, it 1.- i-iid, Rusm-.'s chief
object Is to maintain the present ter-
ritorial conditions.

synopsis: , i t
The continued' prosperity of the country
and of the Individual citizen is tho para-
mount issue before tho peoplo. Why
for a change, which, tested by experience
is bound to be for the worst.
The country was never so prosperous a«
it has been since the Inauguration of Will-
lam McKinley. Capital has never been
so actively occupied, the volume of money
in circulation was never ao great, labor
never so fully employed, wages never so
high, prices never so generally good.
Conscious of the weakness of relying
on theories that have been exploded ant
of Ignoring facts that are self-evident
the democrats are undertaking to push
into conspicious position before the peop
an issue which they discride by tha
word "imperialism."
in this course they are characteristic
ally dishonest.
Neither in Phillipincs nor e!se wheri
will the cause of human llberly look for
Its champion to a party whoso only h -po
of obtaining power lies In tho suppression
of human rights.
In thi election tljo .1 •mocrttlc party
is so much concerned about tho "consent
of tint governcHl'' that the negro it 1 -
zen will be excluded by laws so contrived
as to keep out negro republicans while
admiting white democrats though both
pre&ent themselves, with similar qualifi-
cations except as to color.
The party that will not allow the consti-
tution to follow the flag through the Car-
alinas, through Mlsslppl and Texas h is
no occasion to distress itself about tho
constitution's journey of 1,000 miles acri/. s
the ocean.
Tluu ,j no middle course between re-
sponsibility for tho governm nt of th'
Phllllpines and abandoning them to b
seized by some other power. The demo
cratlc plan of conferring sovereign right
■upon the Filipinos and at th
establish a protectorate over them i
practicable, it is responsibility w4i
authority.
We endorse the administration of Pres-
ident McKinley and urge his re-election.
