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.

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 rach port out of employment and they ure feady to Join tho robots.

TO GET A BRIDE AND A THRONE Prince lhert nf llelgluni, to Wed nnd He Proclaimed King: In October. 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.

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. 0UTL00K IS VERYBRIGHT .secretory Cngc t'nreenst Vlelnr lor .Mclvlnlc.v mid ItnoNcvcll nt .iitliiiuil election.

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 tho two paclll-! viceroys Hut whllo thoro Is doubt as to tho personnel of the commis sion. Ii Is quite generally accepted among olllcluls that some suii move on iho pari 'of china has inutiired and will tuio form iln Washington very soon In that event ' is believed by orhcuils thai iho enuro status of the niKO iutions between the powors
