4 ww ATrnrn nn with rHiWA commissioners' rriiTLi i viyv tt i i i i i PROCEEDINGS. Germany, France and Russia Make Proposals to the American Government. Propositions of a far reaching charac ter concerning China are being present ed in rapid succession to the American Government. In one day propositions from the German,. French and Russian Governments were submitted to the State Department at Washington. The answer to Germany covered the subject of punishing Chinese subjects, and made know n that the United States had instructed Minister Conger along the lines suggc-ted by Germany. The-e instruction look toward secnrii g the I name? of the persons deerving chastise ment; also whether the punishments accord with the gravity of crimes com mitted, and dually, in what manner the United States and other Powers are to be assured that satisfactory punishment is inflicted. The Franco-Russian proposal takes a much broader scope, and submits a program under which the negotiations for a complete settlement can be carried forward. This proportion is under four heads, namely; First, punishment of the guilty parlies; second, .interdiction ! of the shipment of arms into China; : third ; the payment of an indemnity to i the towers, ami fourth, a sutlicient guarantee for the future. In addition the suggestion is made for the establish ment oi a jermanent legation guard at lYkin, for the razing of the Taku forts, and for the maintenance of a line of communication between I'ek'n and the sea. The impression in Washington in ad vance of action mi these projiosi'ions by ; our Governmont, is that they contain ! i othing essentially unfitting thm to ! subjects of consideration in the final settlement. What the United Mates ' Government particularly desires to avoid, is the entering into a program that leans in any manner tow art! the maintenance of a fooibold on Chinese soil. MODOC COUNTY FAIR. Said to Have Been a Great Success Fine Pa vilion ExhibitOregon People There. All who attended the Fair at Alturas last week report having had an interest ing time. Oregon was well represented twth in people and stock. An Exami ner representative interviewed Joe Bui rus who was the tirst to return from the Fair, and that gentleman repoits the first annual Fair of Modoc county a great success. The races were good trials ot speed and were well conducted. The pavilion exhibit , is said to have been a snlendid showing of the resour- i Ces of Modoc coiintv, and thoe aIiu visited the pavilion were agreeably sur prised. Much credit is due Mssdames J. M. Thompson and .1. E. Kaker for the splendid manner in which the exhibits were arranged. Oregon horses took some of the pur ses in the running events, and Oregon people came away well pleased with their treatment generally. Dick Rus sill's Grand Central Hotel was well patronized by the Lakeview contingent, and all report gol treatment at the hands of Mr. Kussill and his worthy assistants, Mesdames Russill and Gomez. Those who attended the Fair from Lake and Klamath were: dr. and Mrs. W. M. Harvey, Mrs. GusSchlagel, Mrs. F. M. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Burrue, Dan Maloy, Miss Lena Heidrick, F. A. Fitzpatrick, Miss Edna Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Parker, F. M. Green, Dr. Demorest, Ed Lamb, Jonas King, Mark Guilliams, Warren Guilliams, George Ross, and Mr. pnd Mrs. Gerber of Lorello. Louis C. M. Oliver and Walter Fleming, of New Pine Creek, have gone to Marye ville, Cal., with a band of beef and stock cattle to sell. A. L Howell returned from the Saera mento Valley last .Mondav night. Mr. HoweT recently drove a huruh of '.)' head of mul--s to lied Bluff, where he sold part of them, and disposed of the remainder at Corning, at a fair margin over the purchase p ice. He says the mule and horse market is siuirgish in California. Vessel eanieit be bad to carry off t he California wheat er-.p and this fact alone effects the horse market. He visited Old Copper City Alxre two new towns are bui.ding up. Five smelters are being erec'eO at t! at min ing camp. Shasta county mines are booming and Redding is the important town of Northern California. Si Fitzhugh, formerly oi Alturas, who robbed a bank in Oregon some years ago and created so much excitement, has been captured in Wisconsin and will be brought back to stand trial, says the Plaindealer. One of his partners wn killed at the time of the robbery and the other captured and is serving seven years. The partner who was killed held the money and Fitzhugh grabbed it from him as he fell and then made his escape. Some of the riot-supporting Bryan organs are "hurrahing" for the con temptible hoodlums who assaulted Governor Roosevelt ami Senator Hanna while on their campaign tours in the East and West. The newspapers that uphold such dirty wot k are more con temptible than the perpetrators of the crimes against law, decency and free speech. Nally Willey, who visited Termo two w-eeks ago, informs the Alturas New Era that the news of the extension of the N. C. & 0. to Likely, and possibly to Alturas in the spring, is reliable. 'iermo will surely be regaled to a way station In place of a terminus next spring.

Bragg and a few other faith ful men, assisted by McKinley Prosperi ty, are about to turn the tide in Nevada, and that state will undoubtedly stand in the Republican column at the Novem ber election.
