CALL FOR
Chinese Minister Hastens from His Oapo
May Outing to Washington ,
HE SEES ACTING SECRETARY HILL
liollcf That Government Will Soon Miiko
Important rrouounccmciit Who SIny
Negotiate for Pence Kx-Sccrctary
Not Likely to Servo.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. Minister
Wu arrived In AVnshlngton 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 ho
had received nn Intimation that the
department officials wcro desirous o *
conferring with him , hence his return
to Washington. For nearly an hour
the minister was closeted with ActIng -
Ing Secretary Hill and Assistant Sec
retary Adec , 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 conclusion 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 wcro 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 onto on the 28th ultimo the
officials hero expressed the belief that
about a week's time would be required
to determine upon the next step and
at the end of that time It would bj
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troops were to be withdrawn from Pe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 chancelleries 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 the last of the
answers to the Russian note. 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 bo that this
knowledge Is regarded as sufficient
upon which to base another forward
move and in this case pehaps an in
dependent movement by the United
States toward the ultimate withdrawal
of the troops and the settlement with
China which the government has hail
In mind since the beginning of the
trouble.
The consultations with Mr. Wu arc
believed to have been Inspired by a
desire to learn something of the per
sonality of the Chinese .notables whoso
names have been suggested as proper
to constitute the Chinese side of any
commission which may bo named to
arrange a settlement of the difficulties.
Mr. Wu is an ardent adherent of Earl
LI.
There is much speculation here ns
to the personnel of the American com
missioners In case the peace negotla-
tlos 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
the peace negotiations which closed the
Chlno-JapaneBO war and It Is said

eral belief is that General Roberts Is
coming home to take up the post of

army , which Lord Wolseley will vacate
In October.

n fairly good demand on account of the
Ifiht supply of westerns.
The cow market was again In gooil
Bhiipo today , only about Ilftecn curs be-
ng on pale. The demand for the better
grades was heavy and prices on that
class of stuff was quite u little higher
today. For the week It Is safe to 'all the
market a good quarter higher. Tin- com
moner kinds of cows have also Improved ,
though not as much as the best grades.
Choice feeders were itBnln In active de
mand thin morning and sellers found lit
tle difficulty In disposing of their better
grades at steady to stronger prices. The
demand from the country contlnuts very
heavy and yard traders have been nblo
to keep their pens fairly well cleaned up.
In spite of the foct that a good proportion
tion of the offerings today were western
cattle there were only about three cars
of killers. It was hardly enough to make
a test of the market , but It In oafo to
say that had there been any here today
they would have brought fully steady
prices. .

In the morning a number of prlmo light
weights , particularly In one division ,
brought Just about -yesterday's prices. A

that the market was lower. The bulk of
the llghtwclgnts sold from steady to 2\sC

Sheep There were only a few cars or
sheep and lambs on sale and the proportion
tion of heavy stuff , which Is not In very

on that class of stuff was a little slow.
The few bunches of desirable sheep or
lambs there were offered sold readily

CABINET DISCUSSES CHINA.
No tnto oniclnl Information Has Ilcen
Itccclvccl.
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 nt the conclusion of the meetIng -
Ing that no late official Information
had been received from the powers
regarding the Russian proposal to
withdraw troops from Pckln. 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 information
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 Pekln.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 7. The latest
expression ns to the attitude of the
powers on the evacuation of Pckln
comes from the United States ambas
sador at Paris , General Horace Porter
ter , who has advised the authorities
hero that the attitude of the French
government Is favorable to the posi
tion taken by Russia. Almost simul
taneously with this dispatch from Gen
eral Porter came another from the
American charge d'affaires at Berlin ,
giving the attitude of Germany on
Russia's proposal. This In substance
states that Germany , while anxious to
avoid any friction between the pow
ers , regards the condition at Pckln
such as to to require the continued
presence of Gorman forces there.
Neither General Porter nor Mr. Jack
son gives the text of the answers ,
but only the substance of the posi
tions taken by the two governments.
These two highly important com
munications bring the Chinese nego
tiations to a very advanced stage ,
though they are not yet concluded , as
nil of the answers are not yet In. The
German and French answers , however ,
clearly Indicate the alignment of the
powers. It Is generally accepted that
Germany's attitude In favor of re
maining nt Pekln will bo concurred In
by Italy and Austria , as these two
countries act with Germnnv on nolltl-
cal questions of a general nature.
Moreover , definite word has been re
ceived hero which clearly foreshad
ows Austria's po&ltlon In favor of re
maining at Pokln. As to the purposes
of Great Britain there Is an absolute
lack of official Information , though
little doubt Is entertained that since
Germany has taken the Intlativo Great
Britain will follow suit in favor of re
maining at Pokln. The position of
Japan likewise Is lacking In definiteness -
ness , although It Is believed In the
best posted quarters that If other na
tions remain at Pekin Japan will deem
It expedient to remain there also.
It would seem from this that Franco
Is the only government to give con
currence to the Russian proposition ,
although the United States has ex
pressed a purpose of following Russia's
course , unless the other powers
brought about a modification of Rus
sia's position. Thus far Russia has
not expressed any purpose of modify
ing her original position. It was
stated authoritatively today that Rus
sia has not ordered the departure or
her minister or troops from Pekin up
to this time , so far as the government
Is advised. It is stated that no new
propositions have been presented , but
that the question Is practically the
same as when first presented namely ,
as to whether the troops will remaiii
or be withdrawn from Pekln.
BIG PRODUCER ! N TROUBLE.
Dm Id II. MofTilt Tukes Judgment fur
sir .inin.
DENVER , Sept. 7. Judgment en de
fault for $153,510 was taken In the dis
trict court today against the Victor
Gold Mining company by David II.
Moffntt on notes given on Marrh 2U ,
1000 , bearing 10 per cent interest. The
Victor mine , on Dull hill In Cripple
Creek , has been one of the heaviest
producers in thct camp. The company
wns organized in 1892 with 200 shares
of a par valUe of ? 5 per share. It has
paid $1,160,000 In dividends. In 18'JG
D. H. Moffatt and Eben Smith sold the
controlling interest to a French syndi
cate , which left the management to
them , and In 1898 they sold much of the
remaining stock In their hands on the
Boston market for $8 a share. In 189
Mr. Moffatt went out as president and
W. II. Brevoort was elected. During
that year the company paid four div
idends of ? 100,000 each. N. II. Cone ,
manager of the property , died last year
and the mine practically closed ship
ping. It Is said that there arc still
large ore bodies in the mine and proba
bly steps will bo taien by the etock-
holders to save the property.
