A HOT CONTEST IN KENTUCKY
Republicans Will Appeal to Courts
According to Statement of
Chairman Combs.
“A Louisville, Ky., special says:

though there is no doubt that the full

lypossible that majorities of 7,635 and

Chairman Leslie Combs, of the Re'
piblican state campaign committee,
«:id he wished to state his position as

IMPORTANT CABINET MEETING HELD
Th« Chinese Question I« Brought Up uml
Fully IHscnoaetl In Ail of
Its Fhageft.
A Washington special says: Two
of the three hours that Friday’s oabi-
net session consisted of were occupied

presidenj ., , intends . , , . o ex , *ns ...
tr. at on this subject in lus forthcom-

Deference was made to the expres-
*ions in portions of the European
press that the United States policy
j regarJjng Chi „ a wou ] ( j nn dorgo mark-
change immediately after the elec-
tion,and it is authoritatively announced
that after a most exhaustive review of
every step of the Chinese
from its inception up to the present
moment, delivered by Secretary Hay,
the cabinet ratified eveiy detail and
moreover unanimously expressed its
judgment that the policy so fur pur-
sued should be continued without
change to its logical conclusion.
Accordingly the present legation
guard at Pekin will be maintained
and such troops as yet remain to be
withdrawn, according to the original
programme, will be shipped to Manila,
With this addition to his force, Gen-
eral MacArtbur is expected to renew
the campaign against the rebellious
Filipinos with the greatest energy,
Administration officials here think
that as soon as the result of the elec-
tion becomes known throughout the
Philippines, the resistance to the an-
tlioritv of tbe United Slates will bo
overcome.

POWERS DIFFER
AS TO POLICY
Chinese Trouble Seems Far From
Amicable Settlement.
UNCLE SAM’S STAND CRITICIZED
Proposed Vindictive Action of
Germany Threatens To Break
Up the Peace Concert.
The London morning papers are
again agitated concerning tho stability
of the concert of powers in China.
The attitudes of Germany and the
United States meet with disapproval,
the former because Count Von AVal-
dersee lias Bent a column to destroy
the Ming tombs, au act which is re¬
garded as needlessly vindictive, and
the latter because it threatens to break
up the concert.
j) a j|y Chronicle comments
fi1r )y upon the American attitude
^ a “feeble compromise which it is
j m p OSM jp > le to accept.”
fj<he jj orn i n g p 0B t says:
“It would be unreasonable of the
, cq t t, break up tho concert

j ; because they do not desire indemnity,
powers would probably l»e willing

however, the United States havo in
view some new combihation of powers.

pbe st an< |gj- ( ], which
^abject with a mere reference, sayH:
i «*\ u American opinion on the Chi-
uese problem is too uncertain to be
considered seriously."
p> r- Morrison, wiring to The Times
. on g pu ,Jay i expresses tbe opinion that
(jbina will readily accede to all the
fprmg 0 f tbe conjoint note except the
, C jg C utjon of the princes and officials,
! which it w ill be impassible to fulfill
^wbile the court is in the hands of these
very officials.”
“Considerable curiosity is felt at
Tien Tain,” says the Shanghai corros-
pondent of The Times, “as to th#
whereabouts of the Japanese foroes,
; which, though not leaving tho coan-
try, are disappearing from i ckin and
Tien Tsin, it is not known whither."
“ Referring editorially to the present
stage of tho negotiations, Tho Times
says:
“The United Stales accepted the
j German note demanding the pnhish-
i ment of Prince Tuan and the other
guilty officials; and it will not be
harder to secure, the phnisbrnent of
! eleven officials than of the three whose
i Dames uere originally indicated by
! the slate department. Therefore, it is
difficult to see how America could jus-
I tify in her dwn eyes a refusal to join
with the other powers in stepB needful
i to secure this result.”
