latlves state that tho Maine of rebellion has
keen fanned in tho southern provinces and
predict n tremendous conflagration within
I month. Placards and pamphlets are be
ing circulated In Canton and the provinces
intimating that tho allies are thoroughly
routed. Tho feeling against foreigners is
bursting tho bounds of official control.
Several reform parties, with their head
quarters in Hong Kong, who .lave been sup
ported by funds from rich Chinese in
America, have heretofore refrained from
Aggression, believing that the powers would
effect tho regeneration of the government.
Ono powerful organization Is distributing
thousands nf copies of a reform appeal In
tho llrltlsh colonics. The memorandum
tins been signed by 200 names for presenta
tion to the Hrltish minister, Imploring
tho nsslstnnco of a reform government.
It recommends establishing Nnnkln as
tho capltnl nnd tho selection of enlightened
Chinese oftlclnls to administer tho govern
ment, with foreign advisers.
These people aro disheartened ut the re
ported Intention ot tho powers to with
draw from China. Different societies are
combining to raise tho standard of rovolt
and overthrow tho corrupt government.
Tho practical cessation of trade with tho
north has thrown thousands of Chinese in

NEW VORK. Sept. 5.-A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Uruieels says:
According to ofllclal announcement Just
Isftted the marriage of Prince Albert and
Duchess Kllzaheth of Ilavarla will take place
here In the ancient Church of St. Uudulo on
October 15. Great preparations arc being
made for the event, for the prince, who
spent some time In the t'ntted States, Is the
most popular member of the royal family.
Kven the socialists and labor leaders, who
revile tho king, have n good word to say
for Albert, thanks to tho Intelligent interest
which ho displays In tho welfaro of the
mussel and lu tho aspirations of the working
clashes.
It is persistently reported that Im
mediately after the wedding, which will be
celebrated with n good deal of pomp, Leopold
will uhdlrnto In favor of Prince Albert,
whose father, tho count of Flanders, younger
brother of the king, is so deaf as to havo
decided him to abandon his own rights to
the throne to his only surviving eon.
Leopold knows that his unpopularity Is a
source nf weakness to the dynasty and Is,
moreover, heartily sick of his crown and
ntixlous to spend the remainder of his life
according to his own desires without duties
or responsibilities. It U. therefore, proba
ble that the beginning of October will witness
not only tho mnrrlago of Prince Albert, but
likewise his accession to Iho throne, which
would bo shared by n princess, who, In her
native land of Ilavarla, hns nlrcady won the
love of tho people by the mannor In which
she has seconded nnd assisted her father, the
celebrated oculist, Duke Charles Theodore,
In his labor of charity ond bcncllccnec.

WEBSTER HANKS FALL APART!
His Candidates Soo the Futility of Clinging
to Forlorn Hope.
FOUR DELEGATES HAND IN RESIGNATION
Withdrawal I.cmc Ward Delrnn
tlon Incomplete and Presage
Further Defection frnm the
Wehter ('iine.
The Webster forces are falling to pieced,
tho process of disintegration having al
ready set In. That was bhown at tho meet
ing of tho executive committee of the le
publlcan county coinmldeo es(erday aft
ernoon, nt which wero presented written
withdrawals of four of tho candidates on
tho NSihstcr delegations.
Ono withdrawn! was lh.it of Herman HI
sasser from the Webstir delegation lu the
Socond ward. Mr. Klsnsser was counted J
on ns one of the strongest men on the
ticket In that ward.
John T. Llnd and John P. Henderson re
tired from Hie Webster delegation In the
Third wnrd and John Kowelskl from tho
Webster delegation In the Seventh ward.
Mr. Kowelskl was the representative ot
the Poles on the Seventh ward Webster
deli gallon.
Thcso withdrawals indicate the drifting
nwny from the Webster cause and rotiflrm
the lark of conhdence of his own men In
his prospects In Friday's primaries. They
leave Mr. Webster with only nine men In
his Second ward delegation; only eight In
his Third wnrd delegation and only nine
In his Seventh ward delegation. Instead of
the full complement of ten In each.
What Is worse for him Is that tho with
drawals probably presage a complete col
lapse nnd general depression for other
delegations on which ho Is depending In his
oflortB lo control the coming republican
convention. The committee received these
withdrawals and ordered tho names
stricken from tho ollhinl ballot.
Protest nf n At nil,
Tho committee was besieged again by an
array of lawyers representing the Webster
Protestants against the Sixth ward peti
tion for the Rosewater delegation. The
committee, however, declined (o reopen tho
case for argument and simply made a record
of the fact that proof was wanting to show
lhal the petition was defective and the pro
test wns overruled. A number of protests
against both Webster nnd Rosewnter dele
gations for various wards hud been declined
by (ho secretary because offered too late,
under the rules. The committee endorsed
the secretary's action. The Webster repre
sentatives renowed their threats about going
into court, but so far they have found no
ground on which to base an appeal to the
court which would hold good In law.
In tho interval oil parties to the coming
primary contest have been skirmishing,
actively organizing In all of the wards, but
the situation Is reflected in the pulling
nway from tho Webster standard indicated
by the withdrawal of candidates from his
delegations. There Is a rumor In tho nlr
that ono or two of his candidates for legis
lative nominations have become disgusted
and nre on tho eve of pulling out because
they do not care to continue tho forlorn
hope.

WASIIINOTON, Sept. ft Within the last
twenty-four hours Hie I'nlted Stales gox
erument has rci olvol from Its representa
tives in foreign capitals much iiMtcrUl
Information regarding the attitude of tho
powers on the Russian proposal to evac
uate Pekln. These glxo the general ua
lurc of the response made tn Russia by
certain of the poweis. II Is stated author
itatively that If (hero was a( any lime a
pins peel of a serious International clash
this has been very lnrgel. If not enlirel,
removed by the haimonlous tiiHracter of
tho ctimmunlcat Ions the several govern
incuts uro making. The exact nature of
(he responses Is not made public by the
State department, for there aro somo re
piles lo ho transmitted and until all nf
them ale In the negotiations arc considered
lu such an Incomplete form that they will
not he made public, tt lit said, hownvei,
that tho answeis go much beyond the
tculntlvo character of those heretofore re
ferred to and are of a conclusive nature, so
far as showing the purposes of the gitem
meiilH. although Ihey may not bn regarded
as conclusive In accepting or rejecting
(he particular proposition advanced b
Russia. Tho responses are understood tn
be rather long and somewhat argumenta
tive, similar In this respect to the Amer
ican response. This very fact Is n cause
for congratulation among olllcluls, as Iho
point out that (hero Is no disposition to
treat tho proposal with terseness or In any
other'tnanner to give otfense, but ralhcr
to bring the powers) together on a common
basis. On the whole. Hie general tendency
of the responses Is such as to give enflio
satisfaction hero as to the course of th
negotiations.
iitiRer Mn.v llcprccitl lulled Slule.
The satisfactory progress of the negotia
tions along these lines has had the efle t
ot directing attention to tho personality
of tho envoys, who probably will repto
scnt tho powers and China In the final
settlement. The Impression prevails hero
that Mr. Conger Is eminently lilted for
such a (ask on (ho purl of the Pulled
States, nupposlnr that each Of tho powers
Interested In the Chinese problem la lo
havo a separato and Individual representa
tive. Mr. Rnckhlll's name Is mentioned
ns nn alternate In case Mr. Conger dnrn
not care to remain In Pekln or lo p.irlhi
pale In the settlement. These suggestions,
however, urn all speculative, for up lo
this time the State department has not
conferred the necessary special powers on
any one to represent the government in
the Una I negotiations.
ir the present slate of affairs lu China
Is protracted until Hie arrival there of
Field Marshal Count Wnldorsee, which
should occur In about ten days or a fort
night, It Is not to be doubted that thn gov
ernment of Oermany will enileuvor lo have
all the negotiations with the Chinese gov
ernment conducted through that official ns
the representative, not of (iermany alone,
but of all the powers, II Is gathered that
slrong arguments will be advanced to sup
port tho advisability of combined action
through one agency In this manner ns the
best means of securing a speedy and gen
orally satisfactory termination of tho Chi
nese (rouble. In fact It will bo urged that
there Is little hopo for an early adjust
ment of tho differences between tho powers
nnd China If each of thn powers Is lo lay
down an Independent proposition. Iho cul
min.Ulvo effeit of which, particularly lu
tho case of money or territorial indemul
ties, might be absolutely cruuhlng to the
Chinese empire.
If there Is any change In Iho military
Bltuatlon iilnco (Jencrnl Chaffee's dispatch,
supposed to bo of Ihe Iioth ultimo, no word
of It hns rcacheil Washington. It la un
derstood that the disturbances and out
rages upon missionaries continue In somo
of tho districts outside of Pekln. It Is bo
Ileved here, possibly because of Iheso re
ports, that tho foreign ministers In Pokln
probably will enter an earnest objection
to nny withdrawal of troops It their re
spective governments delay action upon the
Russian proposition until they have had u
chance to express their views.
Ixnlncr Favor Middle (iriinnil.
Tho (iorman foreign olllco nppcars to be
active in furthering the negotiations and
quite a number of messages havo passed
between Washington and Dor Hit. Thoso
persons most likely to havo a correct un
derstanding of Oeriunny's attitude look for
tho suggestion of a compronilso or middle
course, which will be neither an aetepl
unce nor a rejection of the Russian pro
PobhI, but will be such a satisfactory mid
dle ground that all the powers, InclialliK
Russia, can agree to It. For Instance, it
Is suggested Unit (Iermany with propriety
might suggest Hint a certain limit might
bo llxed on tho extent of the militaty de
tachments to bo left nt Pekln with nn un
derstanding that each Htnnll detachment
cunlitin Itself to ipinrtors so long as pc.no
and quiet prevail In Pekln, but ho roady
to net In case of further Chinese dopredn
tlons. Diplomatic olllcluls say thnt some
such compromise Is tho only way of avoid
ing an Impasso nnd that tho best resourcen
of diplomacy nro now being used to se
cure this middle ground, on which nil thn
powers, can reconcile, their several poli
cies. In another diplomatic quarter the Btrong
belief Is expressed that tho requisite com
promise will bo found by China's ro-cstab-li8hlng
n government and naming pcaco
commissioners. Olllclal intimation has
reached Washington that steps ure being
tnkon toward the appointment of such a
peace commission, Including LI Hung Cbnng,
tho viceroys of Nankin nnd Wu Chung ami
Prlnco Chlng. though reports also have
named Yung Lu and Hsl Tung lu place of
