DIPLOMATS AT WORK THE CHINESE SITUATION IS STILL A SUBJECT FOB CABINETS, BATHER THAN SOLDIERS. LI HUNG CHANG GOING TO PEKIN I The Old Viceroy Seeking to Untangle the Mess Into Which His People Have Gotten—England and Germany Sending More Troops Into the Field. Pi-kin. Sept. 13, via Tientsin, Sept. 15, via Shanghai, Sept. 18.—Provost courts have been opened in Pekin by all the military commanders. The Germans have made robbery a capital offence. — Washington, Sept. 18. — No recent events bearing on the Chinese situation go to confirm the prediction made last week by the officials that there will -be no immediate important developments. The general impression is that nothing can be done until the Chinese themselves have progressed further toward ths restoration of the government at Pekin. Meanwhile the military preparations for a winter stay in China go on without cessation; though the officials are careful to point out that these are only precautionary measures and arc not to be taken as an indication of a final determination on the part of the government. General Chaffee's dispatches show a decided improvement in the cable communications, and notice having been given to the state department that Ihe new eabie from Shanghai to Chefoo connecting at that place with the Taku cable has Just been completed, It Is hoped that It Will soon be possible to get messages through on the date of dispatch. Count Von Waldersee, who wilt command the allied armies, is expected to arrive at Shanghai tomorrow or the next day. There have been no announcements 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 understanding among officials that he will probably exert influence upon the dip lomatlc situation, as he is a diplomat as well as a soldier. I. T e was with the German embassy at Paris before and after the Franco-German war, and has had wide experience In the diplomatic field.

The Japanese minister, Mr. Takahlra, had a conference with Acting Secretary Adee yesterday concerning the status of Chinese affairs. Japan's course has been clearly defined in her answer to the Russian proposal. In this answer Japan announces her purpose of withdrawing from Fokin all “superfluous” forces, and continuing there only such force as is considered necessary. Just what number will constitute this superfluous force does not appear, although it is expected to be the bulk of the Japanese detach ment now at Pekin. The efforts made by China to start peace negotiations have led to the suggestion that Marquis Ito. the distinguished Japanese statesman, represent that country in the negotiations. A strong public sentiment lias been developed in Japan In bls tiehalf, but he has expressed an unwillingness to accept the post, feeling that the conditions do not require his services. It was Count Ito who represented Japan in the negotiation with Li Hung Chang for the settlement of the Japanese-China war. The suggested removal of the Chinese capital from Pekin to Shanghai Is now practically abandoned. The main reason given is the difficulty of communication between Shanghai and Pekin during the winter months. But aside from this was the strong feeling In certain quarters that It would Im< undesirable to establish a seat of government where British Influence Is so strongly dominant. The decision has led to the general understanding among officials that Tientsin offers the greatest advantages outside of Pekin for purposes of negotiation, and It Is likely to be the headquarters, military and diplomatic, of the foreign establishments not maintained nt I’ekln. An Agreement at Fu Chau. Washington, Sept. 18.—The state deparlmeut lias received a dispatch from the consul at Fu Chau, Chinn, transmitting n copy of an agreement entered Into between the viceroy and Tartar general of Fuh Klen province and the foreign consuls at Fu Chau which provides iu substance that the Chinese authorities will do everything in their power to protect the lives and property of foreign officers, merchants and missionaries resident In Full Klen and at Amoy; that central ami southern China shall not tie attacked by the foreign powers so long ns the local authorities maintain order and that the admirals of the several nations will be Informed that It la not advisable that a number of naval vessels should visit Fu Chnn lest the people lie alarmed. The ngreenient la signed by tho llusslan. United States, Japanese. British nnd French consuls and by Viceroy Hsu Ying Kuel and Gen. Shan Lien.

Kruger Virtually a Prisoner. Lourcnso Marques, Sept. 15.—Mr. Kruger Is virtually a prisoner In the lesldence of the district governor. This Is nt the Instance of the British consul, who protested against Mr. Kruger using Portuguese territory ns a base for directing Uls executive. The French consul has been forbidden access to Mr. Kruger, as also have the lattur’a own officials.

BOILS CARBUNCLES These unwelcome visitors usually appear Ln the spring or summer, when the blood is making an extra effort t> frea * itself from the many impurities that have accumulated during the winter months. Carbuncles, which are more painful and dangerous, come most frequently on the back of the neck J’ Y eating gteat holes in the flesh, exhaust the strength and often prove fatal. Boils are regarded by some »’■ | people as blessings, and they patiently and uncomplainingly endure the pain and inconvenience under JgjCW fl tlle m ' sta^en *^ ea tliat their health is being benefitled, that their blood is too thick anyway, and this is f Nature’s plan of thinning it.

While improving a piece of land in Bethel, Conn., on which P. T.

A Georgian has invented an arrangement which will provide a funnel for a paper bag and allow the clerk to have both hands free while weighing such material as sugar.
