"Wit 1ft Li Hung Chang has received a note from Emperor Kwang Su declining to accede to the demand for the punishment of Tung Fu Hsiang and consenting only to the banishment of Yu Hslen. The note has not yet been formally communicated to trje ministers. Although the ministers affirm that their meetings have been perfectly harmonious, they practically agreeing upon all the questions considered, they have not yet proceeded beyond most elementary subjects. The question of indemnity, for instance, was not even discussed. It is of such magnitude that they seemingly are desirous of putting off its consideration as long as possible and the negotiations are likely to be greatly protracted before anything will be ready to present to Chinese plenipotentiaries. The present desire of the ministers is, first, to contract a preliminary treaty acknowledging a few principles, such as Indemnities and thfe security for the future of the lives and property of foreigners, leaving the other questions to be negotiated separately by each power. There is every probability that th negotiations will last for years.

MANY STILL HOMELESS CLARA BARIOVS STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS AT GALVESTON, Much Suffering Probable Anions People Who Are Living: In Tents ned Cross Watch MeetinRs. GALVESTON. Tex., Nov. 10. After spending nearly two months in the relief work among the sufferers at Galveston and other places on the Texas coast. Miss Clara Barton feels that there is no more necessity for her remaining In the field. The work of relief will have to be continued, however, during the entire winter, but the local Red Cross order in Galveston, organized at Miss Barton's suggestion, and the local committees at the various points on the mainland are in such thorough working order that they will be amply able to distribute their supplies now on hand and the large quantity that will continue to be sent without the aid of Miss Barton's staff; therefore, It is her purpose to withdraw from Texas within a few days. Following is the "substance of what Miss Barton had to say in an interview to-day; - T am desirous of getting back to Washington and New York as soon as possible to aid in directing the work throughout the United States of the meetings that will be held under the auspices of the national Red Cross on the night of Dec. 31. The Idea of holding these watch meetings met with my approval from the first, and it has up to the present time developed into a most magnificent movement. The people of the United States will be given on that right such an entertainment as was never atempted elsewhere before. No more worthy service can be rendered In the name of humanity and all that is represented in the scope of American National Red Cross than for every church, club, society or social organization of any kind in the country to make preparations for and hold one of these watch meetings. Full particulars how to organize and manage the meeting can be obtained by writing to the American National Red Cross, watch meeting bureau, St. James building. New York city. Greetings have been or will be obtained by lied Cross representatives from every monarch ami celebrity of Europe and from private persons throughout the United States. The event promises to be one of unprecedented interest and value. In addition to the abov Miss Barton gave out the following statement: The change in temperature from the warm weather which has prevailed almost constantly since the storm, on the Sth of September, to very chilly weather, which began here a few days ago, is causing suffering among the thousands of homeless people who are living in tents on the beach, in dilapidated storm-damaged houses, and in shacks constructed out of the debris of the storm It will be almost a miracle il pneumonia and kindred diseases do not follow the cold spell If it continues, and further cold weather is Inevitable from this time on. The appeals which were sent out for building material have not met with tho generous responses that followed the appeal for food and clothing which went out Immediately after the storm. The apparent apathy which the appeals for building material have met is probably due to certain statements that were circulated to the effect that Galveson had been well supplied by the provisions and clothing that were sent forward in large quantities and also to a feeling that seems to prevail generally throughout the country that it would bo unwise to rebuild the city in the face of the possibility of a recurrence of the storm. It seems to be entirely overlooked that the business houses and about one-third of the dwelling houses were left standing, although generally badly damaged. The city with Its vast business agd over 20.CO0 inhabitants, are here ant "Vrilist remain, but the problem of providing shelter or homes of the modern character for the thousands of homeless is the most troublesome that confronts the relief committee. The thousands of dollars that the committee has been able to set aside for repairing damaged buildings and constructing others amounts to much less than 5 per cent, of the actual needs of the people in that direction. "The coming winter cannot fail to bring untold hardships and suffering." The Galveston Relief Fand. GALVESTON, Tex., Nov. lO.-Mr. John Sealy, treasurer of the Galveston relief fund, makes the following statement: Donations received from Oct. 23 to date, $13,351, of which $5,771 was received through Mayor Jones.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) creased by the returns not yet received. Orman's plurality over Gaudy's appears as 22,722, which will likely be increased by the returns still to come. Compared with 1896, in round numbers the Bryan vote fell off about 41,000, while the McKinley vote increased about 04,000. Speakers Bureau Closed. CHICAGO, Nov. 10. With the exception of Henry C. Hedges's department Republican national headquarters were permanently closed last evening. The speakers' bureau, over which Mr. Hedges presided, will not close for at least a month. That much time will be required to make settlements with all the speakers, the transportation companies and the various State committees. It is estimated that the bureau furnished speakers for no less han 1j,000 meetings. This would be nn average of thirty speeches for each man. Idaho Returns Still Belated. BOIES, Idaho, Nov. 10.

Ways nnd Means Committee of the House to Confer Soon. WASinNGTON, Nov. 10. Representative Payne, of New York, chairman of the ways and means committee of the House, had a conference with the President yesterday. Mr. Payne said after leaving the White House that he would call a meeting of the Republican members of his committee for Nov. 20, to outline a partial programme for legislative work in the House at the approaching session. One of the matters to come before this meeting will be the proposed reduction of war revenue taxes. He did not think, however, that the reduction would exceed $13,000,000, or less than onefifth of the present revenues from that source. Much, he thought, would depend on the state of affairs in the Philippines when the bill came up for consideration. If a considerable army had to be maintained there for any length of time it might be thought wise not to cut down the revenues too much. There were, however, a number of items in the present law that might be wisely eliminated, and these would receive attention. Mr. Payne said he thought the ship subsidy bill would be taken up and an effort made to pass it at the coming session. AN EX-CONVICT'S STORY SAYS HE HAS THE ORIGINAL WILL OF THOMAS II. DlA'TIin. That the Latter Ileal Name Was Fames Hey Pearcey, nud Ills Heir Florence Ashcroft. NEW Y'ORK, Nov. 10. Jacob J. Haffner, who has spent a greater part of the last fifteen years in state prisons, made a statement to-day and produced letters and documents concerning Thomas H. Blythe, the multl-millinoaire who died in San Francisco in 1SS3. The papers were turned over to Lawyer E. B. Southworth, who has been retained by Haffner to press his claims to a share of the Blythe estate. The documents include what purports to be an original will of "James Hey Pearcey, otherwise known as Thomas H. Blythe," dated March 4, 1SS1. signed in the presence of Haffner and one James Blow, of Los Angeles, Cal. This will appoints Haffner as executor of the estate without bonds and names as residuary legatee "My adopted daughter, Miss Florence Pearcey, otherwise known as Miss Florence Ashcroft, now residing with her mother, Mrs. Julia Ashcroft, at London, England." The third article in the will reads: "I give, devise and bequeath to my brother, Charles Pearcey, of Chicago, 111., rsO.OOO." It is under this article that Haffner makes his claim to a share of the Blythe estate. It Is on record in the Probate Court of Cock county. Illinois, that Charles Pearcey died at the West Side Hospital In ChicaKO in November, 1S97. HafTner was in Danncmora prison at this time. Charles Pearcey had lived for several years at No. 224 West Madison street, Chicago. He was practically a hermit. There was great surprise when It was found that ho had left 42,000 in United States and Chicago city bonds. Heirs were advertised for, and Albert Pearcey, of Glenvllle, W. Va., who professed to be a brother, appeared. Upon his testimony the property was divided, share and share alike, between himself and his five brothers and sisters. Haffner was released from Dannemora prison in April last. He went to Chicago and produced what purported to be the last will and testament of Charles Pearcey. He engaged Lawyer William P.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Chicago has officially tendered its $34,000,OCO drainage channel to the United States government. The sanitary district trustees have memorialized the chief engineer of the government through the deep waterway commission, now in the city, and that official body will transmit the memorial to Congress in December. The memorial contains a direct tender from .he sanitary district of the channel to the general government under the terms of the sanitary district of Illinois, which contains a clause reading as follows: "When such channel shall be completed and the water turned therein to the amount cf 300,000 cubic feet of water per minute the same is hereby declared a navigable stream, and whenever the general government shall improve the Desplalnes and Illinois rivers for navigation, to connect with this channel, said general government shall have full control over the same ir navigation purposes, but not to interfere with its control for sanitary or drainago purposes." The drainage channel has- reached the condition provided for by this clause f the statutes. In order to accept this gift according to law the general government will have to expend over $13.000,000, or less than half what Chicago has spent upon the channel. In this connection the Importance of the canal is urged as a water route from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico if the Desplaines and Illinois rivers are improved. The memorial says the canal is deeper than the draft of any lake vessel and is wide enough to float three abreast, but is commercially useless to the Nation owing to the lack of a proper channel in the Illinois and Desplaines rivers. TURNED OVER TO EMPLOYES. Ilenda of Department! to Manage n Big Department Store. Milwaukee Sentinel. "What Is a distinct innovation in mercantile circles here will be made at Glmbel's to-morrow when a "department managers sale" will begin and continue for two weeks. For a fortnight the entire business of the great establishment will be conducted by the heads of the various departments instead of by the regular management. Prices will be fixed by them, special sales will be arranged, special window displays made, s-pecial advertising contracted lor In fact, the regular managers will temporarily abdicate in favor of their employes. The novel plan was decided upon some weeks ago, when the heads of the various departments were called together and the idea explained at length. A good deal of discussion followed and then the heas of departments organized for the work, electing Fred Everts as chairman. Then committees were appointed on bargains, advertising, window display, s.gns, extra help, floor space and display, and preparations were made for a mammoth "buyers' sale which will begin to-morrow and in which everyone of the many bargains to x offered has been previously submitted to a bargain committee made up c f Messrs Zimmer, Koehler, Clark, Everts and the Misses Looby and Samuels. The committees have been meeting every day to talk over their work and get things into shape. . Yesterday the bargainj and advertising committees bad interesting ses sions getting ready for the extensive advertising that is to bo done. The various heads appeared before the committees with samples of the goods which they proposed to sell at special rates and on these the committees sat in Judgment, rejecting some, agreeing to other and making suggestions by the wholesale, so that the meeting, to the newspaper representatives who were present, became a most Interesting and valuable lesson in the mercantile art. There are forty-two departments In the store and each of the managers of these will some time during the coming fortnight run a big "ad in all the city press settIng forth the special tat gains which will be offered in his special corner of the store on a certain cay. The greatest of Interest has been arensed both in the store and out and the results of the novel experiment will be watched with Interest. In the meantime. It is safe to say that there will be some smart selling going cn. for each department head is determined to make a reputation for business sagacity and big bargains. PRAISE FOR THE 3IODERATE MAX.

Mi?s Alice French Octave Thanet) talked about repose and humor and their alleviating effects upon lifo and matrimonial association. She advitd even' woman to try humor, knowing that even if a sense of humor be lacking the fame thing in the way of a state of mind or a certain way of looking at events and trials comparatively may be cultivated and finally accomplished. An innate and developed sense of humor is only an abiding concept of proportion and of the true relation of things. A humorist sees small things and is not deceived because there are a number of smaller things in the same neighborhood. As an illustration of this popular author's practical application of her own advice the following extract from hr address uron "The Unappreciated Moderate Man" Is given: "The reformt r may be the pioneer of civilization, but he Is not the whole push.
