Mystery Luck of News JProm. ;Fek:in. LONDON, Sept. 4, 4:10 A. L The lat est reliable Pekln date is now nearly a fortnight old. An undated dispatch has been received at "Vienna reporting that the allied troopsmarched through the Imperial Palace-August 38, hut it was known that this date had been fixed by the allied commanders for a formal prom, enade. There is no other news of any kind. The Hbng Kong correspondent of the Dally Mall says that the Canton officials have been ordered to transmit all possi ble revenue to the nortii Jfor war ex penses, and that all pay orofflcials from the Viceroys downward has been stopped during hostilities. . The Vienna correspondent of the'Starid ard ielegraphs.that he learns .from a good source that the Germans, Auk&Ians and Italians will remain In Pekin after the Russians withdraw. Shanghai and Hong Kong dispatches express the utmost as tonishment at the ldeaof evacuating Pekln. The Daily News suggests editorially that Russia may have made secret terms with China behind the backs of the pow ers. The Standard expresses gratlflca-' tlon at the explanation that the United States Government does not approve of Russia's proceedings. Thtf Dally Express publishes an interview with a -New York Chinaman, Liu Chuh, now staying in London, who admits Li Hung Chang's, "duplicity and antagonism to Western Ideas," but thinks that the allies have no choice but to negotiate with him or, to retire from China altogether. M. de Rlowltz, the Paris correspondent of the Times, asserts that the origin of Russia's decision to evacuate Pekln aa her desire to frustrate the schemes of .Emperor William, and to correct the Im pression produced by the Kaiser's speech ar routine to Emperor Nicholas the in itiative in the appointment of Field Mar shal Count von Waldersee to the com mand of the international troops. "Russia also desired," says M. de Blow ltz, "to save France from the- hard neces sity of placing her troops under Count von WaUlersee. The United States also was much dissatisfied at the prospect of its troops acting under German orders. If you compare the Russian evacuation proposal with the American plan for be ginning negotiations "before Count von Waldersee's arrival, and if you add to this the prompt adherence of France to the United States, you have the complete key to the Russo-Amerlcan mystery." GERHA3TC.IS WAITING.

Germany's programme Is to await the action of the other powers. Count von Bulow, the German Foreign Minister, has made a communication to the Russian Ambassador, Count Wander Osten-Sack-en. A member of the German Foreign Of fice said today, in defining Germany's position: "Germany has not answered Russia for mally, although she has informed her confidentially as to the views of the Ger man Government. Certainly we do not object to the removal of the Legations temporarily to Tien Tsln, as this would enable the members to recuperate from their recent hardships. So far as the answer of the United States to Russia is concerned, we now see it to be In substantial agreement with Germany's position." When asked whether, if the troops were withdrawn, the Empress Dowager and Emperor would return to Pekln, the For eign Office official In question replied that he could form no opinion worth stating on that subject. Most of the German papers are of the opinion that It Is very doubtful If Ger many can adopt Russia's suggestions, and they deplore the evidence of a threat ening split in the European concert. One leading Berlin Journal asserts that Em peror William, while conversing with' a group of officers last Saturday evening, said: "Under no conditions shall wo give up Pekln, not even if every army corps uus 10 oe mooiuzea IiIErUTBJTAXT LAWTON'S BRAVERY. -- e Wounded Four Times at Tien Tsln While Executing? Orders. AUBURN, N. Y., Sept. 3.-Mrs. Louis B. Lawton, of this city, wife of Lieuten ant Lawton, of the Ninth Infantry, now doing service in China, received a letter from Major J. M. Lee, who took tempo rary command of the Ninth upon the "death of Colonel LIscum, In which he gives a graphic account of the battle of Tien Tsin and comments upon the gal lantry of Lieutenant Lawton, who was wounded four times during the battle while executing orders. After referring to the loss sustained by the Ninth Regi ment, which Major Lee places at 25 per cent In killed and wounded, he says: "Captain Noyes had been twice wound ed. Captain Bookmlller had fallen. Ma jor Regan had fallen severely wounded within a few feet of me, and soon after Colonel LIscum fell mortally wounded. This all occurred before or about 9 A. M. on the 13th. We had pushed forward to the limit; and were separated from the enemy by a canal, or moat, 50 yards wldo, and from six to eight feet deep in water. The ground In our rear, where so many had fallen, was literally swept by bullets and shrapnel. To advance was " Impos sible, bo with the dead and wounded around us and all of us In .mud "and water from our waists to armpits, we determined to hold the place and await reinforcements, ammunition and relief for our -wounded. The situation became more and more desperate. "About 10 A. M. I decided to send Lieutenant Lawton with an orderly back for help. It was a perilous undertaking, but I believed he would get through, and he did so under a heavy1 fire, and coolly reported our needs to General Dorward. Some reinforcements were sent, about 100, but they never reached our front line. Lieutenant Lawton stood up under fire and urged them to move on. He then, re clved a scalp wound. He then started alone to join me and report When nearly 'through he was hit in the arm and breast severely. Captain Brewster and I went to him, and he reported the result of hl3 mission. There he and I, "with the dead and wounded about us, remained under lire until nightfall. Lawton was again hit In the sole of the shoe. Nelsdn C. Price, a private in Company F, Ninth Infantry, attended him, and" protected him with a little bank-of eai th, which was hit many times. s.

BEWARDfFOR TREACHERY. & Chinese Official Murderer Seeking "His Fay. PEKIN, Thursday, Aug. 21. Prince Ching is endeavoring to open negotiations with the allies? Yu Hsien, Gbvernor of Shanghai, has sent a memorial to the throne asking for a reward for having Invited 52 foreigners under his protection, and for having af terward killeotthem. -. In' the provisional government estab lished, each nationality administers a section of the city according to its own ideas, , ' There-Is. a possibility of the Pekln dis patch being somewhat in error as to the identity of the Chinese official who is asking for a reward for murdering 52 for eigners. A dispatch to the Associated Press from Che Foo, August 29, said that -the Governor Qf Shan 81 was reported to have invited Jthe foreigners in that prov ince to come under his protection. It was added that about August 21 50 for eigners accepted the invitation, and all were massacred. Probably Yu, the Gov ernor of .Shan SI, Is identical with the Yu Hslen.who is referred to in the dis patch fromPjekInas Governor of Shang hai. ;R " -L. r- r " Negotiating; With Allies.

Three members of the Tsung II Yamun, Na Tung, Chipg Hsln and Chung LI, it Is announced here, are seeking to negotiate with thejdifferent allies through Sir Rob ert Hart 'the Director of the Chinese Im perial Maritime Customs. There are four trains daily from Tong Ku to Yang Tsun. The sinking of a small Japanese steam er in the river interrupts communication between- Tien Tsln and Taku. As announced in the dispatch under date ofAugust 22, Chung Ll has been arrested, and It Is possible he may be the "Prince Ching" referred to In the Pekin dJspatcM of August 21 as endeavoring to open negotiations with the allies, though there Is a Prince Ching, father of the heir-apparent.

The voters of Vermont will tontorrow elect various State ofHcIals.and two Congressmen.

The members of the Rep'ublican state com mittee tonight claim their majority will greatly exceed that of 1S9S, but they ad mit that they do not expect It will equal the record-breaking majority of 1S9S. KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN OPENED. Yerkes, Republican Candidate for Governor, Spoke nt Bowline Green. BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Sept. 3. Hon. John W. Yerkes the Republican candi date for Governor, arrived today. One of the largest crowds ever In the city at tended the political meeting" held here today. Hon. Frank Peak spoke for the Democrats in the Circuit Court room. Several thousand people congregated at Fountain Park to hear the address by Mr. Yerkes. "The fact that Senator Goebel was the author of a law under whose provisions thousands of men of Kentucky believed their civil rights were destroyed," said Mr. Yerke3, "can never be pleaded at the bar of public opinion as ground, excuse or palliation for his murder. On the oth er hand, the 'fact that he was murdered cannot be used as an argument addressed to the reason and calm thought of the men of this state for their support of he party and a, party nominee enacting this law. v "The true issue of this campaign Is not assassination, pardons or refusal of par dons, but the repeal of tho Goebel law -".''JBSr -vc--- ' ' and the defeat of all who favor It or who profited by It. The campaign Is, pitched by the Democratic party on promise of change of this law. A marvelous speci men of party 'back-breaking,' of party in consistency. The Republican party, the Independent Democrats, by united, con tinuous opposition have forced from the Democratic party the tardy, choking con fession that the law of their great leader must be changed to allay 'bitterness' and 'dissatisfaction' -among the people. "It Is too early In the session to fore tell what action will be taken by the Legislature: what changes will be made, but every Republican, every Brown Demo crat will give earnest support to a meas ure securing to us again fair, honest elections, a free vote and a fair count, and Godspeed the day." Beclcham nt Henderson. HENDERSON, Ky., Spet. 3 There was a very large crowd here today to hear Governor Beckham, ex-Congressman Mc Creary and others at the formal open ing of the Democratic campaign in Ken tucky. This was the banner Democratic district for Governor Goebel last No vember, and a rousing reception was given Governor Beckham, who was the running mate of Goebel, and Is now his successor. McCreary, who Is chairman of the Democratic state committee, and a candidate for United States Senator, was also well received. Governor Beckman said In part: "The conduct of the Republican party In the National Adm'nlstratlon may not have been tainted with the grewsome variety of crimes as that of the party in Kentucky politics has, but, never theless, it has been such as to merit the condemnation of the American people and the defeat of its candidates at the polls. They have trampled upon the Constitu tion and have sought to override the fundamental principles upon which this Government was established. They have catered to the wealth and not to the manhood of the country." After the speeches there was a recep tion to the Governor, who tonight re viewed one of the largest torchlight pro csslons ever seen in this part of the state. Over 2000 men were in line. ELECTION IN ARKANSAS. The Entire Democratlo State Ticket Was Elected. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept 3.-The en tire Democratic ticket, headed by Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Pope County, for Gov ernor, was elected In Arkansas today. Early returns Indicate that the vote will be'llghter than was expected. H. L. Rem mel, the Republican candidate for Gov ernor, made a good showing and his In creased vote over two years ago will probably reduce the usually large Demo cratic majority There was no opposition to the Democratic ticket for any office except the Governorship. Returns are coming In slowly tonight The negroes voted in larger numbers than usual, but their vote is not large enough to affect the result A fair estimate places the total vote as follows: Davis (Democrat) 100,000 Remmel (Republican) 40,00 Files (Populist) 3,000 Davis majority, 57,000. Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba. WINNIPEG, Sept 3. Hon. Colonel Mc Mulllan has been appointed to succeed Patterson as Lieutenant-Governor of tho province.
