Washington Officials Have Long

knowledge of the attitude of
the powers regarding tho Russian
■joposal, but it is still awaiting; official
■prices as to some of them. The in
■ jnaation concerning those regarding

received it is stated is practically
■Hat which is in possession of the gen
ial public and is based on newspaper
■reports and the opinions of official or
■ of the various countries.
I Minister Wn arrived in Washington
■ from Cape May late Friday afternoon
■ toii proceeded directly to the state
■iepartment. It is understood that he
■lid received an intimation that the
■ iepartment officials were desirous of
■eonferriug with him. For nearly an
■ konrthe minister was closeted behind

■ Hill and Assistant Secretary Adee.
I i'one of the parties to the conference
I re communicative as to the confer
■ pace i but at its conclusion Dr. Hill re*
■paired to the white house with a port*
I folio well filled with papers.
I For several hours peceding the min
|liter’s visit Acting Secretary Hill and
■ Assistant Secretary Adee had been en
■gaged in short conferences, and it was
gathered that the negotiations relative
to China were approaching another
phase, and that another announcement
of some kind was iu preparation.
When the United states made its re
iponse to the Russian note on the 20th
altimo the officials here expressed the
belief that about a week’s time would
be required to determine upon the next
hep, and at the end of that time it
would be definitely known whether or
not the troops were to be withdrawn
from Pekin. That period of time has 1
low elapsed.
The reports from the European chan* i
eellories indicate that, officially at
lent, this important subject is being
(reeled with the greatest deliberation, j
ind at least another week, and prob- j
iblyeven more time, maybe consumed
iiframing the last of the answers to
tie Russian note.
■ Meanwhile our government has
■ pretty well satisfied itself as to the
■ tftitrule toward this last proposition
■ of each and all of the powers interest
■ ediu the Chinese problem. It may be
■ that this knowledge is regarded as
I sufficient upon which to base another
I forward and perhaps, in this case, an
independent movement by the United
States toward the ultimate withdrawal
of the troops and the settlement with
China which the government has had
in raiud since the beginning of the
trouble.
The consultation with Mr. Wu is
believed to have been inspired by a
desire to loam something of the per
sonality ol Chinese notables whose
names have been suggested as proper
to constitute the Chinese side of any
commission which may be made to ar
range a settlement of the difficulties.

which has covered in that way more
than a thousand miles in the last four
days, is being petted here by Parkers

view to Inducing it to give up its
tours. Within the past four days it
has traveled on the trucks from Cin

the Ohio Valley express, and has come
as far as Parkersburg on its second
trip. It is believed to be the same
cat which recently journeyed in a sim

Deafness Cannot Ise Cored
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is cniy one
way to cure deafness, and that is hy constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous ltnlng of the
Eustachian 'lube. When this tube Is In
flamed you have a rumbling sound or linper
tect hearing, and when It is entirely closed
Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube restored
to Its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but au In
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
