A HARD fiGHT AGAINST RINK
Bat Ike Prespecta o -the State TIcfeet

gottea.
SHATTIiH, Wash., Oct. t (Btaff corre
spondence.) One hears little over nere
about the National campaign, except ts6m
the "orators and -.newspapers. They are
dolns the usual pertunotory lip-service
and three-sheet poster blovlation, but
they are not stirring up any special In
terest or concern among the voters. The
Issues are Intimately related to the wel
fare of this state, and the Btate knows
it; but It does not appear to be worry
ing itself Into a fever of excitement
over McKlnley or Bryan. The . gen
oral indifference Is due, no doubt, to the
one-p'dedness of the argument over the
paramount question of Imperialism. Bilver
is forgotten. A few speakers like lorn
Vanoe, .Agitator jRobertson and Candidate
Honald are howling themselves duly
hoarse about "consent of the governed."
but they are doing It all from an im
perative sense, of party duty or because
they havo their own reasons for talk
ing about other things than the things
which are really In' the .public mind.
"Vance, for exacmrple, is not especially
en rapport with Governor Rogers and
his candidacy; Robertson finds his own
personal, relation to the Coeur d'Alene
outrages a most painful subject; and
Ronald, who is a candidate of and for
Seattle, 'discreetly undertakes to give a
broad National tone to his discussions
outside that city. But with these unim
portant exceptions the National problems
are left largely to themselves, and the
battle is over Rogers and his state ad
ministration. Nearly everybody believes
SfeKiriley will carry the state; and every
body also knows that there Is a hard and
doubtful fight over the Governorship and
the state ticket. This is not to say that
Mcltlnley Is going to carry the state and
Frink is in grave danger of losing it.
The situation jslmply seems clear as to
the National candidates, and nobody can
tell what is going to happen to the state
candidates. That Frink will fail to get a
number of votes which will go for Mc
Klnley is certain, and that Rogers will
likewise be scratched by a number of
Bryan followers 13 equally well settled
The problem, then, is to know how manv
Republicans will vote for Rogers and
how many Democrats will vote for Frink.
Any answer to that perplexing question
at this time must be pure conjecture. No
one knows; every one 'has his opinion. It
is certain that the defections from botn
parties are not so numerous as they bade
fair to be just; after the nominations.
And a Presidential election in a Republl
oanrstate ought to have a. decidedly bene
ficial effect on the -Republican state
ticket. " - '
For the Republicans, the evidences of
dissension following the Tacoma conven
tion' have largely disappeared. Judge
"Humes IS to take the stump for his suc
cessful rival. Tom Fisk has already made
a number of speeches. J. O'B. Bcobey
is doing excellent work down in South
western "Washington. Levi Ankeny is
using all his strong influence lor tht
nominees; and nobody who was prominent
in the Humes, Ankeny or Scobey camps
is found to be sulking. On the ofller
hand, there is a semblance of harmony
among the Democrats. But there are ex
ceptions. The mighty wrath of the potent
Bridges has not been appeased. Neal
Cheetham is still sore. The eloquent voice
of the only Helfner has "hot yet been
lifted in eulogy of Rogers, the Demo
crat. And Rogers' dearest enemies, hie
fellow state officers, are still against him,
excepting Superintendent Browne, who is
close tillicum with the Governor, and
Vance, who has been nominated for the
place he has really filled for the past
four years for the unfortunate Patrick
Henry Winston- Farmer Todd was sign
ing like a furnace In his grat anger oer
the action of the Seattle convention, and
it was said he was --going to take the
stump for Frink; but somehow the flames
have been subdued, and the farmer is
traveling around In behalf of the Dem
ocratic nominees. Deep Creek Jones,
whose Injuries were supposed to be ir
remediable. Is back from Nome, with a
picturesque assertion of his acceptance oi
hi3 party's verdict in this wise:
"1 once had a quarrel with Governor
Rogers. It concerned nobody but us two
and God Almighty. It had nothing to do
with John R. Rogers, Governor; it had
to do with John R. Rogers, man and citi
zen. . . Every member of the reform
forces should peel off his coat and go to
work."
The row between Rogers and Jones was
over the wardenshlp of the State Peni
tentiary. It was promised by Rogers to
Jones. He did not get it, Rogers is said
to have been greatly shocked to hear
that Jones was a drinking man, ana
.therefore unfit for the sober duties of
handling a lot of convicts. So he did not
keep his pledge. Jones professes to have
learned to drink while trying to persuade
the boys of Rogers' good qualities during
the campaign of 1895. But that is an
other story. Eugene Way, Jay Allen and
about all the men from this county who
fought Rogers in August have their coats
off and are at work with much showing
of enthusiasm. The same stories come
from Tacomal where the defeat of Faw
cett was a sore blow. But there is all
the same no very cordial Rogers senti
ment among the Fawcett people. The
Pierce County situation Is singular in that
the controlling faction of the Democratic
party Is against the Governor on the one
hand, but on the other no very formid
able bolt can occur to the Re
publican candidate, who halls from
Lane County. No one expects Rogers to
come anywhere near to running even with
his ticket in Thurston County, because he
vetoed the capitol bill, and almost every
resident of Olympla has an abiding per
sonal feeling of hostility toward- him.
Elsewhere, too, there are local grounds
for dissatisfaction with the Governor, and
the most strenuous efforts on the part of
his managers havo not been able to re
move them. Withal, It is conceded by
everybody but the most violent partisans
that Rogers is a strong candidate and is
making a formidable canvass. Why? The
sentiment is commbn that Rogers has
made a fairly good Governor. Most "Re
publicans freely acknowledge It. The Re
publican campaign managers are aware
that this opinion prevails, and are mak
ing heroic effort to break it down.
The schoolbook job is the most serious
blemish in the Rogers record. He ap
pears to have given Superintendent
Browne at all times his most cordial and
sympathetic support. Many persons who
blame Browne defend Rogers, declaring
that his only motive has beeh to throttle
the book octopus, and to foster home in
dustry. In any rvent Rogers has fallen In
-with Browne schemes. If he did not
originally connive at the Job he has not
endeavored s-to avoid responsibility for the
resqlts. So that a fair share of the
odium from that unsavory scandal mast
be apportioned to the Governor. The.
Republican papers anof Republican spell
hinders are making the most of it. Jt has
been a fine talking issue, and it has been
'the only issue raised against the state
administration that has commanded seri
ous public attention. When The Qrego
nlan, on Sunday, September 23, first gave
the. facts to the people of Washington,
it performed a-xeal service to the Repub
lican organization, which was somewba
at a loss tor material. The cue was
promptly taken by the Puget Sound news
papers, .and for a week a mighty contro
versy waged among them over the mer
its of the text-book Job. It has now
subsided in great measure, but Browne
arid his home-made octopus will be a
prominent feature of the campaign. What

Frink's Tallroad record, and his alleged
Anti-labor 'record, and MteGrawism sand
Wilsonlsm are the principal material uged
by the Democrats. ,A powerful effort la
b,elng made In Eastern Washington tf
show that the Republican candidate's
course as a State Senator -was shaped for.
tho benefit of th railroads and fto'thef
injury of the farmer. ' The reply pf the
Republicans has been, that Frink has con
sistently and uniformly supported reason
able freight legislation. Some of tho
proposed measures he" voted against, and
some he voted for. In particular his op
ponents point out that he, in,lSG, op
posed the well-known Helm bill, which
was the fruit of long and bitter antl
rallroad agitation. It would be tiresome
to follow the many details of the contro
versy, but it is scarcely questionable that
the Senator, however he voted, was
moved by considerations of correct public
policy, and that nobody, and no railroad'
corporation whatever, ever Influenced his
vote for any improper purpose. In face
of this fact, it fs undeniable that tho
belief exists in Eastern Washington that
Mr. Frink has opposed the common Inter
ests of that part of the state, and tho
candidate himself is devoting a great deal
of time and energy to the the task of set
ting himself straight. The howl of Mc
Grawism and "Wilsonlsm, too, Is every
where heard. There are a great many
Republicans who do not admire these two
gentlemen But both McGraw and Wil
son are tireless workers, and, in a certain
kind of politics politics where the blud
geon and the whip are the Instruments of
persuasion they have .few peers.
A curious and amusing feature of the
Democratic canvass Is Rogers and Ronald
going about the state together, the one
making glowing prosperity speeches, the
other yelling calamity at the top of his
capable voice. Rogers devotes himself
almost wholly to state issues He de
clares that the Republicans left the state
in debt $1,S00,C00, and warrants were sell
ing at 90 cents Within seven months
after he was inaugurated the state was
on a cash basis and within a year
warrants were sellingat par, and the rate
of interest was reduced from 8 to 5 per
cent. The Republican reply to this is,
of course, "that the general prosperity
made these things possible Ronald says
the Republican party made nobody pros
perous but the trusts, and he Is willing
to accept the votes of those who are not
prosperous, and give Cushman the votea
of all who are. "Cushman would have
to get a quo warranto to "prove that ho
ever ran .for ofllce,'5 declares Ronald. The
Republican campaign management, by
the way, Is making uncommonly energetic
effort to keep Republicans In line in Se
attle for Cushman. Ronald's admlnis
tratlon of the city's affairs when he was
Maor Is being again dragged to light,
and Republicans are belief urged to keep
out of Congress a candidate so Inefficient
and useless. The committee is doing good
work, and the indications are that Cush
man will get more votes in Seattle than
might reasonably have been expected a
month ago.
Every day word comes in that some
prominent fuslonlst is at the mourners'
bench, and preparing to embrace the
true Republican faith. A most interest
ing exhibit is made by the Skagit County
Times. The editor publishes the follow
ing list of converts, who, he says, are

ON A COMMON BASIS
Solution of Chinese Question
at Last in Sight
TWOPROPOSALSREACHWASHINGTON
Germany's Modified Plan la Accepted
France and Russia. Suggest a
- Programme.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. Propositions
of a far-reaching character concerning
China are being presented in rapid suc
cess!on to this Government. The State
Department had no sooner disposed of
one of these propositions today, by de
livering a response to the German Gov-
WOMEN'S BUILDING AT THE WALLA WALLA
ernment, than it was confronted by an
even more important proposition submit
ted by the French Government, and
within half an hour formally seconded by
the Russlnn Government. , ,
The an'-ver to Germany covered the
subject oi punishing Chinese subjects, and
made known that the United States had
instructed Minister Conger along the lines
suggested by Germany, These instruc
tions look toward securing the names o
the persons deserving chastisement, also
whether tho punishments accord with the
njvity of the crimes committed, and,
finally, in what manner tho Uflited States
apd other powers are to be assured that
satisfactory punlphment Iff Inflicted. Aside
from these specific purposes of tho note,
4tis regarded as Important chiefly in es
tablishing tho most satisfactory relations
"between the governments at Washington
and Berlin.
The Franco-Rnxolan Proposal.
Tho Franco-Russian proposal takes a
much broader scope and submits a pro
gramme under -which the negotiations for
'a complete settlement con be carried for
ward. The French Charge M". Thiebaut,
handed the preposition to Secretary Hay
shortly after noon today, and held a brief
conference concerning It Half an hour
later M. de Wallant, the Russian Charge,
arrived at the State Department, and
handed to Mr. Hay a cable expressing
Russian approval of the propositions Just
submitted by France. Mr. Hay gave no
foKnol answer to the two communlca
tions. as they will go first to the Presi
dent, at Canton.
The Franco-Russian proposition is un.
der four heads, namely: Flrs punish
ment of the guilty persons; second, inter
diction of the shinment of arms into
China; third, payment of indemnity to the
powers, and fourth, sufficient guarantees
for the future. In addition, a sugges
tion is made for the establishment of a
permanent legation guard at Pekin; for
the razing of the Taku forts,and for the
maintenance of a line of communication
between Pekin and the sea.
The impression here in advance of ac
tion on these pnpositlons by our Govern
ment, "3 that thev contain nothing essen.
tially unfitting them to be subjects of
consideration In a final settlement The
difficulty which is likely to arise lies in
the placing of proper limitations upon tho
scope of each head. This Is particularly
true of tho subject of guarantees, and
perhaps that of indemnity. Still, as al
ready suggested, each Is undoubtedly a
most proper subject for discussion when
the final negotiations are reached, and,
therefore, M. Delcasse's broadest propo
sitions, while likely to consume some time
in reducing them to ultimate and binding
form, may be said to havo a fair reception
awaiting them.
As to the interdiction of arms, tho State
Department already has Intimated that
there may be a question as to its wisdom,
and there Is reason to believe also that
Germany will not view that particular
feature with approval. But there appears
to be good reason to expect that a middle
ground will be reached by confining the
interdiction' of arms to a specified period,
possibly to be fixed by the time required
by China within which to pay the Indem
nity. The chief objection to the prop
osition is in its being permanent in its
present form.
What the United States Government
f particularly desired to avoid Is the enter
ing Into of a programme that leans in
any manner toward the maintenance of a
foothold on Chinese soil, and It the other
propositions relative to the maintenance
of a line of free and safe communication
between Pekin and the sea, and to the
legation guards, could be modified in the
direction of temporary expedients, they
will be more likely to receive the support
of our Government. It is apparent from
the complexity of the latest Franco-Russian
proposal that the phase of negotia
tions thus Initiated will ( take some time
to dispose of.
America's Reply to Germany.
Following Is the text of the American
reply to the German note, delivered to
day by Secretary Hay to Baron Stern
berg, the German Charge d Affaires:
"The Secretary of State to the Imperial
German Charge. Memorandum in re
sponse to the inquiries made of the Secre
tary of State October 1, 1900. by the Im
perial German Charge d Affaires, touch
ing the Chinese imperial edict in regard
to the punishment of Prince Tuan and
other high Chinese officials:
"The Chinese Minister communicated to
the Secretary of State, on the 2d Inst, a
telegram received by him from- Director
General Sheng, conveying the purport of
lan Imperial edict, dated September 25,
1900. by which the degradation and pun
ishment of Prince Tuan and other high
Chinese officials Is decreed. The Gov
ernment of the United States Is disposed
to regard this measure as a proof of the
desire of the Imperial Chinese Govern
ment to satisfy the reasonable demand
of the foreign powers for the Injury and
outrage which their Legations and their
nations hove suffered at the hands of
evil-disposed -persons in China; although
It has been thought well, In view of the
vagueness of the edict in regard to the
punishment which some of the Incul
pated -persons are to receive, to signify
to the Chinese Minister the President's
view, that It would be most regrettable
If Prince Tuan, who appears from the
concurring testimony of the Legations in
Pokln, to have been one of the foremost
in the proceedings complained of, should
escape such full measure of exemplary
punishment as the facts warrant, or If
Kang YL and Chao Shu Chlao should re
ceive other than their just deserts.
"With a view of forming a judgment on
these points, the United States Minister
in Pekin has been instructed to report
whether the edict completely names th&
persons deserving chastisement, whether
FRUIT FAIR
the punishments proposed accord with
the gravity of the crimes committed; and
in what manner tho United States and
the other powers are to be assured that
satisfactory punishment is inflicted.
"It is hoped that -Mr. Conger's reply to
these interrogatories will confirm the
Government of the United States in tho
opinion which It now shares with the Im
perial German Government, that the edict
in question is an Important intial step
in the direction of peace and order In
China. ,

THE GBRMAJT NOTE.
Puts the Investigation in the Hands
of the Ministers in China.
BERLIN; Oct 4 The text of the note
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count
von Bulow. to the foreign powers is as
follows:
"The imperial power Is Informed of an
edict of the Chinese Emperor by Sheng,
Taotol of Shanghai, whereby the pun
ishment is ordered of a number of Princes
and dignitaries named for having sup
ported the Boxers. The Imperial Gov
ernment assumes that all the other Cab
inets concerned have received a similar
communication. Accepting the authen
ticity of the edict on which we, for our
part, do not "Wish to cast a doubt until
evidence Is received to he contrary, we
can perceive in it the first sign toward a
practical basis for the re-establlshmont
of an orderly state of things In China.
The Imperial Government, therefore, pro
poses that the powers come to an agree
ment to instruct their diplomatic repre
sentatives in China to examine and give
their opinion on the following points:
"First Whether the list contained In
the edict of persons to be punished is
sufficient and corsect
"Second Whether the punishments
proposed meet the case.
"Third In tvhat way the powers can
control the carrying out of the penalties
imposed.
"The. information received up to tho
present concerning the reception of this
proposition by tho powers justifies the
belief that a general understanding on
this matter may be looked for."
Approved by England.
LONDON, Oct. 4. Emperor Wllllam'3
latest proposition is regarded at the For.
eign Office here and In other diplomatic
circles as going further to pave the way
to both an agreement of the powers and
the success of the negotiations with
China than anything which has yet trans
pired. The text of the Gorman proposal
has been wired in its entirety to Lord
Salisbury, who is out of town.
Lord Salisbury, according to tho Berlin
correspondent of the Morning Post, has
replied to Germany's last note In terms
of approval.
