still in progress as the RecorD goes days, occurred in Ontario yester-

to press.

In the course of the hearing this East Simcoe—W.
forenoon two preliminary objections M. P. (Conservative.)
were taken by Gordon Hunter,
counsel for the Crown. His first
point was that the notice of appeal
dit not state the grounds required
by the statute of 1899, This was
overruled by Mr. Keen on the
ground that the statue, not being in
existence at the date of notice of ap-
peal, did not apply.
The.second objection was based
on the ground that no proper return
had been made by the Le Roi, peo-
le; the returns filed having been
vouched by the bookkeeper instead
of by the manager, This objection
the court took under consideration
and will reserve its ruling.

forenoon was Shadwell Curry, the

New York, Sept. 25.—The Chi-

clares that Washington's _ latest
declaration of its intention: in Chi-
nese affairs will be hailed through-
out China with gratification. 'In-
stead_of alienating America from
the concert of powers, he believes
that Mr. McKinley's attitude will
find European imitators in rejecting
Germany’s proposals to kill first and
negotiate afterwards.
His Credentials

authorities here are anxiously await-
ing. the arrival of; Li Hung Chang.

‘| There is a general desire for the

of some i of
Chinese authority, which when
done, it is beleived, will tend to the
clearing of the situation, The. au-
thority of Li Hung Chang to treat
for peace is still doubted. Refer-
ring to this matter, United States
Minister Conger said:

“(Our first task is to examine and
pass upon the credentials of Li
Hung Chang. Beyond that. we
have no policy or place of action.”
The Russians are inaugurating a
Red Cross hospital under the pat-
ronage.of Czarina. | The institution
will extend to soldiers of all nations.
Thirty British, who were wounded
in the Tun Choo explosion, are
dead.”

Tien Tsin, Sept. 23 via Taku,
Sept. 21.—Li Hung Chang will
proceed to Pekin in a few days.
He remains under close Russian
guard and access to him is difficult.
Li Hung Chang said he did not_be-
believe that an early settlement of
difficulties were possible, because of
the number of nations to be treated
with. He thought the attack upon
the Pei Tang forts had not compli-
cated the situation.
