GERMANY RETURNS fIRST REPLY
Kulicr Declare * Ho- Want * to Know
More of the Conditions in China The
ISrltUh Lion Likely to Kaiso it Itoar
May Deiido to ( Jo It Alone.
AVASHINGTON , Sept. 3. The entire
course of negotiations in the Chinese
situation is now dependent on the re-
Hponses to the Russo-American pro
tests. It was stated authoritatively
at the close of official hours today
that no answers had been received
from any source other than those of
a preliminary-and inconclusive chaiac-
ter heretofore announced. Moreover ,
it is stated by responsible administra
tion officials that not until the last an
swer is received will the negotiations
assume any definite form , as the last
answer may prove to be the dissent
from an international accord toward
which all efforts are now bending.
Much interest was aroused today by
the dispatch from St. Petersburg giv
ing the full text of the Russian pro
posal as it cleared up some discrepan
cies , which had existed owing to the
oral nature of the communication made
to this government by the Russian
charge. By far the most important
correction it makes is in disclosing
that Russia has not ordered her troops
and minister to withdraw "from
China" as was stated in the American
paraphrase of the proposal , but mat
she Intends to recall M. De Giers and
his staff "to Tien Tsin , whither they
will be accompanied by the Russian
troops. " In short Russia has not an
nounced a purpose to withdraw from
China , but only to withdraw from
Pekin.
As the negotiations progress the
view is strengthened among officials
that the American-Russian plan of
withdrawing from Pekin will be con
curred in by all the powers. In diplo
matic quarters this outcome is looked
upon as practically assured. It is
pointed out that if the Russian , Amer
ican and Japanese troops are with
drawn from Pekin the other powers
would not have 5,000 men remaining
there , which would be a force uUerly
inadequate to garrison and defend the
capital. The British force now at
Pekin is said to number 3,600 men and
the German force is only a few hun
dred.
On the other hand the Russian and
Japanese contingents are very large ,
and with their withdrawal the main
strength of the allies at Pekin would
be taken away. As a matter of neces
sity , therefore , it is held that the with
drawal of the larger forces will com
pel the smaller forces of Great Britain
and Germany to leave at the same
time.
The reply that Germany has made
to this government has been to the
effect that any general action would
be dependent on the inquiries into the
conditions at Pekiu. These inquiries
are in progress through the Gern.an
officers at the Chinese capital and tbeir
responses are expected to form \.he
basis of Germany's general answer.
Those in positions to take an intelli
gent view of Germany's course say
there is little doubt of Germany's ac
ceptance. One of the chief reasons set
forth for this course is that after all
the question , of staying in Pekin is of
secondary importance is > quite in
significant compared with the far-
reaching question of maintaining an
accord among those continental na
tions , which thus far have acted lo-
gether , not only as to China , but as to
many other questions of general policy.
In short it is felt that Germany's ac
cord with Russia and other continental
nations is of primary importance ,
whereas the holding of Pekin is of
secondary character and in such cir
cumstances the primary consideration
will prevail.
The course of the British governj j
rnent is being awaited with Keen inter
est , not only for its effect on the ques
tion , but because of the part it will
have in maintaining the accord be
tween the powers. There is a noticea
ble feeling among some of the for
eign representatives here that Great
Britain will decline to accept the plan
and will thereby become isolated from
the rest of the powers.
RUSSELL TO MRS. MAYBRICK.
jVrote that He Thought She Should He
Released.
LONDON , Sept. 3. Before leaving
England Dr. Clark Bell of New York
gave to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press a copy of the following
letter written by the late chief justice
of England to Mrs. Maybrick :
"ROYAL COURTS , June 27 , 1895.
Mrs. Maybrick : Madame I have been
absent on the circuit , hence the delay
in answering your letter. I bag to as
sure you that I have never relaxed my
efforts , when a suitable opportunity
offered , to urge that your release ought
to be granted. I feel strongly , as I have
felt from the first , that you ought never
to have been convicted and this opin
ion I very clearly expressed to Mr.
Asquith , but , 1 am very sorry to say ,
hitherto without effect. Rest assured
that I shall renew my representations
to the in-coming home secretary , who
ever he may be , as soon as the gov
ernment is formed and the secretary is
in a position to deal with such mat
ters. Faithfully yours ,
RUSSELL OF KILLOWEN. "

HAY WILL STAY IN THE CABINET.
Idle Itumorft Affecting Secretary of
State Sot at SteHt.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 3. Mr. Aclee ,
tne acting secretary or state , does not
hesitate to set the seal of his disap
proval upon the stories that have been
put afloat to the effect that there has
been a disagreement of policy between
the president and Secretary Hay as to
China , involving possible changes in
the cabinet.
Mr. Adee says these stories are ab
solutely lacking in foundation. He
feels able to enter the broadest denial
of the accuracy of the statements for
the reason that he has been in dally
and almost hourly communication with
the secretary of state by mail and
wire at the latter's home and is per
fectly acquainted with the secretary's
views respecting pending issues. There
fore , he is able to say that Mr. Hay
is thoroughly in accord with the presi
dent in his Chinese policy , while on
the other hand the president has given
his unqualified approval to every step
in the negotiations which was directed
by Mr. Hay.
RETURN Of THE VOLUNTEERS.
Arrangements Ilelng Made for Home
ward Moiement.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 3. So far as
the War department has made any
plans for the return of the volunteer
troops from the Philippines , it is in
tended to commence the nomeward
movement about the middle of Novem
ber. No orders have yet been issued
on the subject , but it will take prac
tically all of the transport service at
the command.of the department to ac
complish the return of the 31,000 volun
teers between the date named and June
30 of next year , when their term of
service expires by operation of law. It
is the intention of the department to
return the organizations in the same
relative order as they were shipped to
the islands , thus equalizing as near as
possible their terms of foreign service.
The above is practically the informa
tion that is being returned in answer
to the many private inquiries from
friends and relatives of the soldiers
now in the Philippines with which the
department has been flooded for some
time past.

church here , has been appointed as
archdeacon of the jurisdiction of Laramie -
amie by Rev. A. R. Graves , bishop of

gregation has increased until at the
present time it is one of the largest

NEW YORK , Sept. I. Attorney
General C. J. Smyth of Nebraska , who
is in the east for the purpose of taking
testimony regarding the operations of
the Standard Oil company of Indiana ,
opened the hearing in New York. Mr.
Smyth was appointed by the supreme
court of Nebraska as one of the two
referees to find out all he could con
cerning the operations of the Standard
Oil company , the information to be
used in an inquiry as to whether the
company , which does a large business
in Nebraska , is or is not a trust , the
state having a stringent law against
trusts.
Mr. Smyth was anxious to examine
John D. Rockefeller , H. M. Flagler and
W. II. Tilford , all connected with the
Standard Oil company , but was in
formed that the gentlemen were not
in the city. Meanwhile Mr. Smyth be
gan proceedings by calling as a wit
ness George Rice , who at one time
was in the oil business at Marietta ,
0. , and has been fighting the Standard
Oil company for a number of years ,
claiming they forced him out of bus
iness. Mr. Rice , in his testimony ,
gave figures purporting to be the cost
of piping and refining the crude oil
and the cost of carrying it to Nebraska
and claimed that it could be sold at
a profit for 4V cents a gallon in Ne
braska by the carload. He said the
present price of oil was 5'cents for
export and 8J , cents for wholesale
dealers in the United States.
E. J. Eddy of Chicago , who was
present at the hearing for the Stand
ard Oil company , asked Mr. Rico if it
was not true that the Standard Oil
trust had been dissolved in 1892. Mr.
Rice's reply was that the dissolution
was a farce.
Senator John M. Thurston of Ne
braska was also present as a repro-
senhitive of the Standard Oil company.

better prices for subsistence. When
talking of Cape Nome he said there
would be famine and death there this
winter and advised people to steer
clear of that city.

thank you for the good Lydia E. Pink-

New York , hut received no benefit. I
had been ailing for about sixteen years ,
was so weak and nervous that I eould
hardly walk ; had continued pain in iny
back and was troubled with li-ucorrhoea.
Menses were irregular and painful.
Words cannot express the benefit I have
derived from the use of your medicine.
I heartily recommend it to all suffering
