NEB. hr* URGENT CALL FOR WO Chinese Minister Hastens from His Oapo May Outing to Washington. HE SEES ACTING SECRETARY HILL Belief That Government Will Soon Hake Important Pronouncement—Who May Nopot to to for Peaee — Kx-Seorotary Not Likely to Serve* WASHINGTON, S«pt. 8.—Minister Wu arrived in Washington from Cape May this afternoon, and although it was near the close of the official day, he proceeded directly to the State de partment. It Is understood that he had received an Intimation that the department officials were desirous oi conferring with him, hence his return to Washington. For nearly an hour the minister was closeted with Act ing Secretary Hill and Assistant Sec retary Adee, the door being locked meantime and not even the messen gers allowed entrance. None of the parties to the conference were com municative as to the subject of dis cussion, but at its ooncluslon Dr. Hill repaired to the White House with a portfolio well filled with papers. For several hours preceding the minister’s visit Acting Secretary Hill and Assistant Secretary Adee had been engaged in short conferences and it was gathered that the negotiations relative to China were approaching another phase and that another pro nouncement of some kind was in prep aration. The fact is recalled that when the United States made its response to the Russian onte on the 28th ultimo the officials here expressed the belief that about a week's time would be required to determine upon the next step and at tbe end of that time it would be definitely known whether or not the troops were to be withdrawn from Pe kin. That period of time has now elapsed. The reports from the Euro pean chancellories indicate that, offi cially at leas*, this important subject is being treated with the greatest de liberation and at least another week and probably even more time, may be consumed in framing tbe last of the answers to the Russian noto. Mean while our government has pretty well satisfied itself as to the attitude to ward this last proposition of each and all of the powers interested in the Chinese problem. It may be that this knowledge is regarded as sufficient upon which to base another forward move and in this case perhaps an in dependent movement by the United States toward the ultimate withdrawal of the troops and the settlement with China which the government has had in mind since the beginning of the trouble. The consultations with Mr. Wu are believed to have been Inspired by a desire to learn something of the per sonality of the Chinese notables whose names have been suggested as proper to constitute the Chinese side of any commission which may be named to arrange a settlement of the difficulties. Mr. Wu is an ardent adherent of Earl Li. There is much speculation here as to the personnel of the American com missioners in case the peace negotia tes should be entrusted to such a body and the names of men prominent in international affairs in recent years all have been canvassed. Included in the list is the name of General John W. Foster, but it is regarded as much more probable that if he appears at all in these negotiations it will be in his old place as a representative of the Chinese government. He was as sociated with Li Hung Chang during tbe peace negotiations which closed the Chino-Japanese war and it is said that Earl Li has a high sense of ap preciation of his work for China then. Roberts Prepares to Come Home. NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: There are many signs that the military au thorities regard the end of the war as close at hand. Lord Roberts is making preparations to return to Eng land and has already sent four of his chargers down to Capetown. The gen eral belief is that General Roberts is coming home to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the British army, which Lord Wolseley will vacate in October. Emperor on Chinese Problem STETTIN, Sept. 8.—The emperor and empress of Germany arrived here today to attend the imperial navy ma neuvers. In reply to an address of welcome from the burgomaster his majesty declared his conviction that success would attend the efforts be ing made to establish in the far east a stable government and orderly con ditions under which the German mer chants can carry on trade undisturbed and without risk. Cheap Killing: for a Red. DEADWOOD, S. D., Sept. 8.—Clay ton High Wolf, a full blooded Sioux Indian, plead guilty to killing his father-in-law on Pine Ridge agency and severely wounding his mother-in law.

Governor Allen Inveetlgntee Condition of People nnd Crop*. SAN JUAN. De Porto Rico, Sept. 7.— Governor Allen returned to San Juan .oday, after a week’s tour through the mountainous regions of the iBland. Having been in receipt of a great va riety of reports concerning the condi tion of the people of those sections, he determined to secure accurate in formation personally and, accom panied only by an interpreter and a pack train, he visited Abolnito, Bar ranquilas, Parras, Ototado, Ciales and Jayua, going from that place to Ponce. His route took in some of the worst districts. He found considerable crops on the rice and corn plantations, but little coffee. The people themselves are anxious for work and are ready to build roads. Governor Allen returned with the conviction that if properly encouraged the portions of the island that he visited are capable of won derful development. j The executive council recently adopted a plan of dividing the island into districts for political purposes. The federals now claim that the repub licans have been favored at certain points and they threaten to resign and to protest to Washington against the alleged unfairness of the division. The American members of the council say the division is a fair one, as the fed erals get three districts, tne republi cans three and one is left in doubt. Miss Bertha Allen, daughter of the governor, will be married to Lieuten ant Logan of the United States army next month, the ceremony taking place at the palace. HUNDRED SOLO MEN ARE SLAIN.

Union Stock Yards'.—Cuttle—There was rather a small supply of cattle here, and as the demand was good for both feed ers and killers the market soon came to a close. The Mg bulk of the receipts were again made up of stock cattle. There were only about thirteen ears of corn cattle on sale and packers bought those us at steady to strong prices. They seemed anxious for supplies and as a result everything was sold at an early hour. The commoner grades were also In fairly good demand on account of the light supply of westerns. The cow murket was again in good shape today, only about fifteen oars be ing on sale. The demand for the better grades was heavy and prices on that class of stuff was quite a little higher today. For the week It Is safe to ^all the market a good quarter higher. The com moner kinds of cows have also improved, though not as much us the best grades. Choice feeders were again In active de mand this morning and sellers found lit tle difficulty In disposing of their better grades at steady to stronger prices. The demand from the country continues'very heavy and yard traders have been able to keep their pens fairly well cleaned up. In spite of the fact that a good propor tion of the offerings today were western cattle there were only about three cars of killers. It was hardty enough to make a test of the market, but It Is safe to say that had there been any here today they would have brought fully steady prices. Hogs—There was rather a light run of hogs here today, but as other points re ported a nickel drop In values the mar ket here was generally 2^4c lower. Early In the morning a number of prime light weights, particularly In one division, brought Just about yesterday's prices. A few loads of prime heavyweights also sold for about as much as they would have brought yesterday, but aside from that the market was lower. The bulk of the llghtwelgnts sold from steady to 2^4c lower and tne heavier grades went from iH&Sc lower than yesterday's general murket. The extreme range of prices to day was practically the same as yester day. Ulgnt weights brought moslly $5,071.4 and $5.10. Sheep—There were only a few cars of sheep and lambs on sale and the propor tion of heavy stuff, which Is not In very good demand, was large and the market on that class of stuff was a little slow. The few bunches of desirable sheep or lambs there were offered sold readily at fully steady prices as compared with yesterday. The feeder market was In good shape today and several bunches sold a little higher than they could have brought yesterday or any other day this week. Anything at all good on the feeder orders will bring good strong prices. KANSAS CITY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Only three members of the cabinet were present at today’s meeting. Attorney General Griggs and Secretaries Hitch cock and Wilson. It was definitely stated at the conclusion of the meet ing that no late official information had been received from the powers regarding the Russian proposal to withdrew troops from Pekin. It is understood that nothing official has been received either from Great Brit ain or Japan on the subject and this government is now waiting for infor mation, particularly from these two nations. The note from Germany is not considered altogether satisfactory nor entirely definite, and it is thought that something further from that gov ernment may be soon received. It is authoritatively stated that Rus sia, so far as this government knows, has not modified its original position and has not consented to leave a de tachment of troops in Pekin.
