Poirera Shall Be Established In

tant Development!) Expected in
the Chinese Sltnntlon.
London, Sept. 19.—There is no addi
tional news from China this morning.
The Daily Graphic asserts that all the
powers have accepted Li Hung Chang
and will probably accept Prince Ching
as negotiators. It says also that the
powers have agreed to insist that a
central government, satisfactory .to the
powers, shall be established in China,
and that full retribution shall be ex
acted for the attacks upon the lega
tions. No communications, however,
have yet passed between the powers
concerning indemnities, and a Berlin
dispatch says it is believed there that
Dr. Mumm von Schwartzenstein, the
German minister, will purposely delay
negotiations until Marshal von Wal
dersee has arrived.
Killed by an Explosion.
The British commander at Taku
cables that a fatigue party, engaged
in destroying gunpowder at Tung
Chow, has been blown up. Eleven
Welsh fusileers were wounded, two
British Indian soldiers were killed and
i thirteen British Indian soldiers were
^-wounded and Capt. Hill and eleven
British Chinese soldiers were wounded.
No Immediate Developments.
Washington, Sept. 19. The passage
of the day without any event bearing
upon the Chinese situation went to
confirm the prediction made last week
by the officials that there would be no
immediate important developments.
Several cable messages were ex
changed and there were some consulta
tions, notably between Acting Secre
tary Adee and the Chinese and Jap
anese ministers and the French charge
d'affaires, but these were without vis
ible result. The general Impression is
that nothing can be done until the
Chinese themselves have progressed
further toward the restoration of
the government at Pekln. Meanwhile
the
y Military Preparation
for a winter stay in China goes on
without cessation, though the officials
are careful to point out that these are
only precautionary measures and are
not to be taken as an indication of a
fi^ftl determination on the part of the
government. Gen. Chaffee's dispatches
show a. decided improvement in the
/'cable communications, and notice hav
ing been given to the state department
that the new cable from Shanghai to
Chefu, connecting at that place with
the Taku cable, has just been com
pleted, it is hoped that it soon will be
possible to get messages through on
the date of dispatch.
Waldersee's Mission.
Count Waldersee, who wiH command
tjye allied armies, is expected to ar
rive at Shanghai next Wednesday or
Thursday. There have been no an
nouncements of his purposes, but it Is
expected that these will be developed
as the result of instructions which he
will receive on arrival. Although a
military commander, it is the under
standing among officials that he prob
ably will exert considerable influence
on the
Diplomatic Situation,
as he is a diplomat as well as a soldier.
The Japanese minister, Mr. Takahira,
had a conference with Acting Secre
tary Adee concerning the status of
Chinese affairs. Japan's course has
been closely defined in her answer to
the Russian proposal. In this answer
Japan announces her purpose of with
drawing from Peking all "superfluous"
forces and continuing there only such
force as is considered necessary. Just
What number will constitute this
•uperflueous forces does not appear,
altlxv.iirh it is expected to be the bulk
of s'-e Japanese detachment now at
tkin.

RlTSSIA WITHDRAWING.
Only 8.000 Are In Pekln—Americans

Peking, Sept. 19.—The Russians have
begun a gradual reduction of their
force here. They have withdrawn five
regiments. Their strength is now
1,000. The total international force
numbers 70,000, of which 22,000 are
Japanese. Baron Nishli, the Japanese
minister, favors withdrawing 15,000 of
these and holding them as a reserve
in Japan. The Americans have com
menced the construction of a perma
i nent telegraph line at HOBIWU. It will
extend from Pekin to Tlen-tsin. The
country is still unpacifled, the Boxers
not yet being suppressed. Fifteen hun
dred Germans, including a battery of
artillery, commanded by Gen. Hopfner,
went southward yesterday on a se
oret mission. It is reported that their
Object is to seise Saing Sang, where it
is believed there are many Boxers.
BURNED A TOWN.

Berlin, Sept. 19.—An official dispatch
from Shanghai says a German naval
battalion, accompanied by forty Ben
gal lancers captured and burned the
town of Liang Sept. 11. A hundred
Boxers were killed. The Chinese reg
ular troops occupying the palace had
previously fled. The German loss was
one man killed and five men wounded.
SITUATION AT GALVBSTON.
Work of Cleaning Streets Progress
ing Steadily.
Galveston, Tex., Sept. 19.—The work
of clearing the streets of debris and
wreckage is progressing steadily and
with systematic rapidity. The mili
tary authorities have gradually im
proved the system so that there is
comparatively no interruption and de
lay in the undertaking. The report
filed at Gen. Scurry's headquarters up
to 9 o'clock last night reported the dis
position of forty-five bodies yesterday.
A News reporter, however, noted the
finding of 130 bodies of women and
children. Health Officer Wilkinson
Stated that 40 per cent of the debris
Of every description had been removed
from the streets, that 95 per cent of
the dead bodies had been disposed of
and that 95 per cent of the carcasses
of animals had been removed. But as
the work of removing the debris goes
on more bodies are being unearthed
every hour. There is still an immense
amount of wreckage to be gone over.
A hopeful feature of the situation is
the rapid progress being made by the
railroads in their efforts to restore
communication by rail. The Santa Fe
has reached Texas City with its tracks
and it is announced that trains will
enter the union depot here on Thurday.
HOWARD KILLED GOEBEL.
Witness Says the Prisoner Exnit
ingly Told Him So.
Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 19. The first
really sensational testimony in the
trial of James Howard, charged with
having fired the shot that killed Will
iam Goebel, was given yesterday by
Bowman Gaines, a local liveryman, and
James Stubblefield, a former deputy
sheriff of Clay county. The former
identified Howard as the man who ran
out from the rear of the state house
grounds and jumped over the fence
immediately after the shooting. Gaines
was positive in his identification of the
prisoner as the man, and said the lat
ter then wore a moustache, and was
followed by a man who was tall and
slender. A boy who was near by at
the time will also be identified as a
witness to corroborate Gaines. The
most sensational witness, however, and
at the same time the most important
from the prosecution standpoint, was
James Stubblefield. a one-legged and
one-armed ex-deputy sheriff of Clay
county. Stubblefield testified that
Howard exultingly told him that he
fired the shot that took Goebel's life.
INDIAN OUTBREAK FEARED.
Redskins in Colorado Are Very
Ugly.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 19. An Indian
outbreak is threatened in San Miguel
county, according to a diBpatch re
ceived by Gov. Thomas yesterday. The
Information was contained in a letter
from the postmaster at Cedar, Which
Is as follows: "The Ute Indians from
Navajo Springs agency, Ute moun
tains, are here catching and taking
away our range horses, and they in
sist on doing so contrary to- our pro
testations. The stockmen have
threatened to shoot if they don't de
sist, whereupon the Indian chiefs say
they will make war upon the women
and children and murder them. Please
do what you can to have them ordered
away from here."
The governor sent a telegram to the
interior department demanding that
steps be taken to protect the settlers.
Telegrams to Indian agents and game
wardens asking them to investigate af
fairs at Cedar were also sent by the
governor. The nearest troops are at
Fort Duchesne, Utah, 160 miles from
Cedar.
HOT CHASE FOR A NEGRO.
Negro Detective Killed and Two ot
the Posse Injured.
Westvllle, Fla., Sept. 19.—In an ex
citing chase for a negro desperado in
Western Florida a negro detective was
shot and killed and two of the citi
zens' posse wounded. The chase was
begun by the sheriffs of four counties,
two bloodhounds and twenty citizens
Wednesday morning and continued
until last night. There was a reward
of $5500 for the negro and a negro de
tective from Montgomery had been
employed by the sheriff of Geneva,
Ala., to assist in the capture. An in
dependent posse hearing that the mur
derer had been located near Westvllle,
preceded the sheriff's posse and the
negra.'who was playing the part of
friend with the negro, left the house
to join his party. He was taken for
the man wanted by the authorities
and shot dead. The murderer then es
caped, and during the remaining two
days two of the sheriff's party were
wounded In desperate fights with him.
GEN. DB WET KILLED.
Rumor in Johannesburg That He
Died Near Potchefstrum.
New York, Sept. 19.—It is rumored
in Johannesburg that Gen. Christian
De Wet, the Boer guerrilla, was killed
on the 7th Inst, near Potchefstroem,
says the London correspondent of the
Tribune. All doubt as to Mr. Kruger's
intentions of proceeding to Europe are
now at rest. In-reply to a telegram
sent by the Express, the. Transvaal
consul general stated that the object
of Mr. Kruger's proposed European
trip was personal and not political.
The voyage was to be made for the
sake of his health. Mr. Kruger de
clined to say whether the moment was
opportune for a settlement of a polit
ical character.

Palo Alto, Cal., Sept.
19.—President
David Starr Jordan, of Stanford uni

tained by scientists. Collections or de
scriptions were made of all but fifteen
known species, besides 125 species un
known to science.

Railroads Pushing Work.
Since all the railways terminating
here have united upon one bridge, and
are pushing the work night and day
with a large force, reconstructing it,
while the tracks are being restored on
the island and mainland by large
forces, it is confidently asserted that
Galvaston will have rail communica

done it will relieve the existing situa

now brought by boat. The injured and

Galveston, Tex., Sept. 18.—It was a
dreary Sabbath in Galveston. Services
were held in the few churches made fit
for use since the great storm. All day
men and boys were at work clearing
away the debris. Only a few dead
were found during the day and they
werte quickly burned, no attempt be

The military and civil authorities are
now co-operating harmoniously in
Galveston and consequently there is
less looting and desecration of corpses.

Chicago, Sept. 18. Deatlj came to
Edward A. Davis in a ward at the
county hospital yesterday, and ended
a life made miserable by a fruitless
Quest of wealth that many times was
all but in his grasp. Years of strug
gling for the fortune that he claimed
unbalanced his mind, and his wife and
family were parted from him by a de
cree of the courts. Edward Davis was
one of several sons of John A. Davis
of Chicago. The latter was a brother
of Judge Andrew J. Davis of Montana,
whose death precipitated one of the
most bitter law contests for his mil
lions ever fought in Western courts.
Johp A. Davis was chosen administra
tor of the estate, which was valued at
$3,000,000, but died shortly after the ap
pointment. It was then that Edward
Davis, the son, began the fight in his
own behalf, which ended so disastrous
