Not Approve.
London, Aug. 31. Diplomatic cir
cles in London appear to be satin
fled that llussiti has either directly
sent circular notes to the powers pro
posing the opening of peace negotia
tions or has reached an agreement
with the United States in regard to
the basis on which the government
at Washington will take initiative ac
tion. Kussia may prefer the latter
arrangement on the ground that the
United States has no entanglements,
like Manchuria, calculated to arouse
the suspicions of the powers. Noth
ing definite, however, seems to ba
known at the legations in London ex
cept llussin's great anxiety to end
the prevailing conditions as speedily
as possible, though the opinion is ex
pressed that llUHsia believes, as a pre
liminary to the negotiations, that the
allied forces should evacuate Pekln
and retire with their resident minis
ters, Europeans and native Chris
tians to Tien Tsin, whence they can
better treat with the most responsi
ble Chinamen available.
A Vlrwcil In IVHHliloitton.
Washington, Aug. 31. The state
department has dispatched its in
structions to the United States diplo
matic representatives abroad in con
formity with the decision reached
Wednesday by the cabinet upon the
Hiissitm proposal to withdraw the
troops in Pekln in order to allow tho
empress dowager and emperor,
Kwnng Tsu, to return to the capital,
to institute negotiations for a settle
ment with the powers. All of these
steps are matters of common agree
ment, as it was not possible for two
of the nations concerned, Russia and
the United States, to make agree
ments between themselves at this
stage, at least, as it is neeesary to ad
vise each of the governments repre
sented in China of the various propo
sitions iib they are broached.
If arrangements can be made for
their acceptance under proper guar
antee for their performance, our gov
ernment will withdraw its troops
from 1'ekin in order to facilitate tho
negotiations for peace, and this as
surance has been given to the llussian
government along with the others.
The Chinese government must guar
antee its ability to prevent the spread
of disorder to other provinces, and a
recurrence of such disorders as have
occurred.
1)m' Nor Stilt KnclutHt.
London, Aug. 31. The Kusso-Ameri-ean
"surpirse," a 3 it is called, is the
chief feature of the morning papers.
While Uussia'o part in the proposal
is regarded with considerable viuspi
cion, it is generally recognized that,
the flight of the empress dowager and
the emperor renders the situation ex
tremely diflicult, and, therefore, that
it might be wise to adopt the Itusso
Americau programme as the best so
lution of the problem. At. the same
time a very strong feeling is displayed
in favor of a more vigorous line of
policy.
The Daily Graphic says: "The
United States are almost morbidly
anxious to wash their hands of the
Chinese embarrassment. This has
long been apparent. Hut it is rather
surprising to hear that their anxiety
is shared by Ilussia. With the possi
ble exception of Germany, there is
probably not another power that
would seriously object to the evacua
tion of I'ekin."
Mltlillr-nf-thn-Knnildrs Urged to Itoll Cp
h I.tiriro h Vote in lollilo for Unr-
her mid Donnelly.
Chicago, Aug. 30. lly order of the
national committee of the people's
parly (middle-of-the-road) Chairman
Jo A. l'arkcr nnd Secretory James E.
McUrlde yesterday issued the follow
ing, addressed to the populist voters
of the United States: "From its in
ception these populists who have op
posed fusion hnve contended that the
fusion movement was designed to de
stroy the people's party organization
and to deliver the honest populists
of this country to the organized dem
ocracy. The advocates of fusion have
stoutly denied this nnd, while claim
ing to be populists, have worked upon
the credulity of many honest men,
who earnestly desired legislative re
lief, in order to lead them lit .he op
portune time into the deuio irntic
party.
"There is in the field thin yt ir n
true populist organization, officered
by men who hnve been true to princi
ples and organization of the party at
nil times, and who can be rcl'.ed upon
to keep the grand old flag of populism
flying in spite of the mnchlnatinns
of schemers nnd spoilsmen. To Uie
support of this ticket and the genuine
organization already organized by
the laws of 31 states as the true peo
ple's party, we earnestly invite the
efforts of all who in tJie pnst have
favored fusion as a matter of expedi
ency, but who nre opposed to being
delivered to the organized democracy.
Let us roll up such a vote for Uarker
and Donnelly as representatives of
real populism, free from the taint of
.political prostitution, as to command
the future of this nation and plnce
our party on the highway of victory."

It is said thnt Russia Is about to n dont anew

twenty-eight days each, and begins on Mon
day and ends on Saturday. The mam feature
of this calendar is its apparent stability,
and in this it resembles the sovereign
remedy, llostetter's Stomach Hitters, which
has held an immovable position for half a
century. Try it for indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, nervousness, or insomnia, but
be sure you get the genuine.

its vice presidential candidate to fill
the vacancy caused by the declination
of Mr, Towne, Mr. George F. Wash
burn, treasurer of the national com

I opposed the nomination of Stevenson
because I believed the rank ami (He of
Iho party were opposed to It. I favored
tho nomination of a populist who would
stay with us until the polls closed; or
else take no action on the declination of
Towne. When Towne allowed his name
to bo presented to our convention as a
candidate for nomination, It was equiv
alent to an acceptance of It. Further
more, his friends pledged us In the con
vention that he would remain In the
field If nominated.

Chicago, Aug. 'A0. The selection of
Adlai E. Stevenson us the vice presi
dential candidate of the populists has
aroused the ire of Chairman Joseph
Parker, of the anti-fusfonists. He
said to-dny:
That action puts tho fusion populists off
the map. They have been; swallowed by
the democrats. In 31 states they can't
Ket on the ballot now. Four years hence
they will not bo heard from again. These
gentlemen have simply carried out the
contract msulo four years ago to deliver
tho populist party to tho democracy.

New York, Aug. 31. The long
promised and long-looked-for meet
ing between .James .1. Corbel t and
Charles ("Kid") McCoy at Madison
Square garden is over, and in less
than five rounds Corbet t proved him
self to be the better man. Keen
judges who saw last night's fight de
clare that it was the cleverest ex
hibition ever witnessed in the ring.
While McCoj landed some stinging
jabs, he did not cut Corbet t's skin
nor did he land a single heavy right
hand blow during the contest. On
the other hand, Corbel t, when he
dropped science nnd began to slug,
landed hard rights and lefts which
simply took Mel'oy's guard away and
when Corbet t found a vulnerable spot
in the region of McCoy's heart, two
lefts, divided by a right, ended the
battle. Moth men entered the ring in
miner)) condition.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi
cine if you knew what it contained. Grove's
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Grove's is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste
less" chill tonics are imitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Grove's is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Grove's is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 50c
NOTE : Tho records of tho Paris Modiclno Co.f St. louts,
show that oven ono and o no 'half million hottlos ot
Grove's Tastoloss Chill Tonlo woro sold last yoar and
tho sales aro continually Increasing. Tho conclusion I
I no vi table that Grovo's Tastoloss Chill Tonlo Is a pro
scription for malaria having gonulno morlt, and mny
druggist or chemist will toll you so.
