By Friday of last week five of the Powers had agreed to Rnswa's proposi tion to withdraw troops from Pekin and two had announced opposition to its adoption. Four Powers had finally de clared that Li-Hung-Chang was accept able to them as peace envoy for China, two question not only Li-Hung-Chang a credentials, but the power of the Imper ial Government to approve his acts, and one wishes to know more about the credentials he holds before it is willing to treat through him. This sums np the situation. It conld hardly be more satisfactory, viewed from the American standpoint. An active interchange of views took place Thurs day between the capitals of Europe and Japan and Washington, and as a result it is likely that pressure will be applied to the two Powers anxious to remain in Pekin to induce them to withdraw simultaneously with the evacuation by the other allies. The Powers who object to the Russian proposition are Germany and Italy. Those favoring it are the United States, Great Britian, France, Japan and Russia. The powers which question Li-Hung-Chang's credentials and the ability of the Imperial Government to enforce the terms he may make are Germany and Italy, while France would like to know more about the credentials before negotiations begin. The Governments to which Li-Hung- Chang is acceptable are the United States, Great Britian, Russia and Japan. Confidence is expressed that Frar.ee will not be obstinate in the matter, but will join the quartet. With five Powers act ing in unison Germany and Italy will then, it is thought here, be compelled, by the sheer weight of the opposition, to join in withdrawing from Pekin and be ginning peace negotiations with the Chinese Viceroy. On Saturday it was reported from St- Petersburg that the czar had ordered General Linevitch, the entire Russian forces, M. de Giers and the legation staff to leave Pekin immediately and go to Tien Tsin. General Linevitch, anxious to restore order as quickly as possible and to de fend the peaceful natives and their pro perty, divided Pekin into five districts and appointed Russian, American, French, German and Japanese govern ors. The Japanese took their honors seriously, and, having the most troops at their command, seized the state excheq uer, and, acting as though they were the masters of the situation, pillaged the Chinks unmercifully. The natives com plained to the allied troops, but beyond remonstrating with the Japanese no redress was possible. The first mobilization of troops in Russia in the month of June cost 22, 000,000 rubles, $11,850,000; in July the expense was 900,000 rubles, $4011,5(H): in August, 1,850,000 rubles, $695,250. The total daily expense at present is 10,000,- 000 rubles, $-5,150,000. General Rennenkrampf has occupied the fortified villages of Santziazi and Madzagau, and is now within a short distance of Ssitsihar. Seventy thousand Russians arrived at Port Arthur ;10,000 Germans also passed the same port bound for Taku and Tien Tsin, where 80,000 troops will soon be concentrated. From Washington came word that the entire course of negotiations on the ~ <AU£atiyn is now dependent upon the responses of the powers 16 tne American proposals. It was stated authoritatively at the close of official hours Saturday that no answer has been received from any source other than those of a preliminary and inconclusive character heretofore announced. More over, it is stated by responsible adminis eration officials that not until the last answer is received will the negotiations assume any definite form, as the last answer may prove to be the dissent from an International "accord toward which all efforts are now bending. Mach interest was aroused by the dis patch from St. Petersburg, giving the full text of the Russian proposal, as it cleared up some discrepancies which had existed owing to the oral natnre of the communication made to the Govern ment by the Russian charge. By far the most important correction it makes is in disclosing that Russia has not ordered her minister and troops to withdraw "from China," as was stated in the American paraphrases of the pro posal. but that she intends to recall M. de Giers and his staff "to Tien Tsin, whether they will be accompanied by the Russian troops." In short, Russia has not announced a purpose to with draw from China but only to withdraw from Pekin. As the negotiations progress, the view is strengthened among officials that the RUSEO-American plain of withdrawing from Pekin,ultimately will be concurred in by all the powers. In diplomatic quarters this outcome is hxtked upon as practically assured. It is pointed out that if the Russian, American and Jap anese troops are withdrawn from Pekin, the other powers would not have 5,000 men remaining there, which would le a force utterly inadequate to garrison ] and defend the capital. The British force now at Pekin is said to numlier 3,100 men and the German force is only a few hundred. On the other hand, the Russian and Japanese continents are large, and with their withdrawal the main strength of the allies at Pekin, would be taken away. AH a matter of necessity. therefor*, tt 1B heM that the withdrawal of the larger font* will compel the smaller forces of Great Britain and Germany to leave at the same time. The brief answer which Germany al ready has made to this Government stat ing that any general consideration of the proposition will be dependent npon in quiries as to the condition of affair? at Pekin. These inquiries are now in prog ress through the German officials at the Chinese capital and the responses are expected to form the basis of Germany 's general answer. The publication of the text of the Russian proposals has intensified rather than diminished the -nspicions enter tained by England of Russa s proceed ings. The rupture of the European con oert is an accepted fact. Opinion differ, however, as to the way in which the Powers will now group themselves. Some papers think that Great Britain, Japan and the triple alliance will stand together in refusing to leave Pekin. "It is not doubted here, says the Vienna correspondent of the Standard, "that Russia's proposals will in the end be accepted by Germany, who cannot but shrink from a single-handed war with China. The Austrian newspapers, though at first indignant, are now beginning to realise the possibilities of an acceptance of the Russo-American solution." A dispatch from Paris dat.-d the 3rd said that the French government had indicated its willingness to accept Li Hung Chang as China s agent for peace: and one from Washington same date stated that developments in Chinese affairs over Sunday were of slight im portance. Acting secretary Adee de clares that no information regarding the notes from the other powers will be given to the public but a cabinet mem ber states this morning none of them has yet made final answer to the United States proposition. He sa3's that the communications so far received indicate that there is great diversity of opinion and that the retirement from Pekin of American troops was practically assured. He named Germany. Austria and Italy as the powers most opposed to Russia s declaration. He thinks Japan and pos sibly Great Britain will take the same position as the United States while France has already an understanding frith Russia. The withdrawal of American troops will be accomplished after due notice to the other powers. It would be mani festly unfair, say the war department officials for the United States to em barrass her allies by sudden removal of her forces. There was co-operation throughout the march to Pekin and after the capture. Nothing should now be don» until the forces electing tore main at the capital have had notice and time to bring up reinforcements. Reports of looting and outrages com mitted by soldiers of the allies multiply. The Russians, in particular, are accused of most extreme brutality, and it is be lieved here that the reports coming from diverse quarters are at least based upon truth. Fortunately for the credit of this country no charges of this nature have yet been made against American soldiers, and it is believed that under the com mand of Gen. Chaffee, they will be irn" possible He is said to lie exerting his influence to prevent the continuance by soldiers of other powers, pnd it is hoped here that for the moral effect it will have upon the Chinese that his efforts will prove successful. W. W. Rockhill, special commissioner of the United States to investigate and report 011 condition in China, is quoted in an alleged Shanghai interview as lay I ing the entire blame for the Chinese I trouble njion the imperial government Anti-foreign feeling is rapidly deepen ing. In the Canton province the ranks of the rowdy element are tremendously swelled by the unemployed, and these restless mobs are reported to be busy looting the homes and stores of the na tive Christians. Boxer agents are adding fuel to the flames bv circulating placards purporting to give war news. These placards contain the wildest and most fantastic statements, among other things declaring that the allies have been rout en ami thousands of them killed, while other thousands were drowned, having been driven, panic stricken, into the river. The placards also say that the foreigners are suing for peace, and make no end of other inflammatory state ments, the effect of which has been to make the situation more critical. Li Hung Chang says the empress dowager and her part}-, including Chinese government officials, are estab lished in the palace of the governor Tai Yung Fu. It is learned that this is the governor who caused the slaughter of 52 missionaries. Russia's declaration of her intention to act independently in China, thus making the first break in the harmon ious action of the powers, is still the foremost topic of discussion in diplomatic circles. Under the lead of the United States, all the powers are exerting their influence to induce Russia to modify her determination to withdraw her troops rrom A* tiu «ame time, the diplomats are trying to discover the real motive of the czar in projtosing the evac uation of the Chinese capital. One suggestion is that Russia is actuated by a desire to save her ally, France, from the mortification of seeing her soldiers under the command of the German Count von Waldersee. Another, and possibly the more correct idea, is that Russia, for her own purpose, is trying to make- China believe that she, alone of the powers is friendly and desirous of saving the kingdom from humilation, some even going so far as to say that Russia has a secret understanding with China. On Tuesday an imperial edict, issued at Tai Yuan Fu, where the empress dowager and the court have taken refuge, appoints Li Hung Chang, Yung Ln, Hsu Tung, tutor of the heir appa rent, and Prince Ching commissioners to negotiate peace. They constitute a radically anti-foreign commission. Hsu Tung is especially obnoxious. Three of the commissioners are Man chus. Tile American association. whose membership includes all the foremost business men at Shanghai, met and adopted a protest against the evac uation of Pekin until a final settlement has been reached. The meeting resolv ed to urge President McKinley to insist upon the appointment of satisfactory commissioners and the recognition of the emperor as sovereign. THE German government has just paid $'50,000 to the Strowger Automatic Telephone Exchange, of Chicago, for the patents and rights to manufacture and use that company's automatic switch. A trial of it was made in Berlin in the early part of the year, and the first payment of $150,000 was made. The contract was for a '.JOO-instrument exchange in the government service, to be used for six mr.nths, and if at the end of that time it proved satisfactory $500,000 was to be paid.

The largest Republican meeting in the history of Bucks county assembled at Doylestown, Monday. The contest was chiefly on the nomination of assembly men. The adherents of ex-Senator Quay were opposed to therenomination of the present assemblymen. Frank G. Ed wards, Harry Wilkinson and William P.

EDITOR CITIZEN:— WiII yon kindly allow space in your paper for a few words about the Butler County General Hospital. Being compelled to have a leg ampu tated, I came to the Butler Hospital to have the operation performed. For pastime and to let my friends know now I spent my first Sabbath at the hos pital I wrote a short note for the CITI ZEN. Since then I have b»*en requested to write something more and send it to other papers in the county, and believ ing that the vast majority of people in the county have no proper conception of what kind of an institution there is here. I decided to write a short account of my experience in the hospital. On the 10th of May my limb was am putated by Dr. Atwell, assisted by oth er members of the staff. I remained in the hospital for five weeks and I think it would have l>een impossible for any one to receive better treatment or kind er attention than I received from all connected with the hospital. Matron, doctors and nurses appear to vie with each other in trying to make the patients comfortable and hippy. At any hour of the day or night a tap of your bell will brirg some one wb<> is ready to minister to your wants. I suppose there are a few who will tai - exception to this statement, liecanse Hospitals as in a'l other plu' -s in lit you will occasionally find a person w .> never has a thought about the comfort or convenience of nnybodv but l)iK ' While nurses are generally models ot patience they are not all Angelic bcii:;; and are liable to have their patie'ice worn out by persons who will call them from the second or third floor for some thing for which they could easily have waited a short time until the nurse was through attending to some one probably needing attention ninth more. .Inst here I will offer a prescription which I believe will if followed add greatly to the comfort and happiness of all who have to be patient in a Hospital. Ist never allow any person to do anything for yon which you can do for y< inrsel f, 2d do everything yon can for the comfort and happiness of those about you wlieth er patients or attendants. If you care fully follow these two simple rules yon will find the Hospital employes far in ore willing to wait 011 you than if you are eternally demanding this or that favor regardless of the rights and comforts of others. I left the Hospital before rny limb was entirely healed and by some mishap, got it infected andhad to come back to the Hospital but thanks to the treatment rec'd. my liinb is much better. While I was away from the Hospital there was a change in the staff of Dr's. and also in the nurses,but for efficiency and kind ness 1 can see no change. At present the staff is composed of Dr's. Hoover. R. J. Grossman, Neely, McAlpine and Williams. The day nurses are Miss Urainard (than whom a finer nurse cnn not be found) and Miss Thompson a m-w one of whom 1 saw but little. The might nurses are Miss Duncan and Mrs Shaney. The Hospital accommodations aro ample for fifteen patients and in an emergency can accommodate a few more. At the present time there are seventeen patients. All under the kind but efficient supervision of Miss Emma Limberg the superintendant. The Hospital is beautifully located at the south end of Main St. on the hill side where yon have a splendid view of the greater part of the city. I want to say to all the sick or maimed in the county this is the place for you because the con veniences for attending to the sick are such that you will get better care than you can possibly get at home without going to the expense of hiring a traine I nurse which will cost mun twenty to twenty-five dollars per week, i wish to suggest to the rich and charitably in clined that you can find a splendid oppor tunity for doing good to humanity by donating something to the Hospital. The expense for medicine help and board are so much and the charges so light (one dollar per day for ward and from ten to fifteen dollars per week for a private room) that it is not self support ing. So don't be afraid to give for it is more blessed to give than to receive. J P. Davis, Isle, Pa. Sitrversville.

"No other section of the United States can successfully raise as many kinds and varieties of fruit as Oklahoma, and the day is not far distant when Okla homa fruit will be as well and favor able known in the markets of the world as those of California, Florida, or any other fruit-growing section. Something over 20,000,000 fruit trees have been planted by the farmers and orchardists of the Territory ami when these all come into bearing Oklahoma fruit will be shipped to every market. The peo ple of the Territory do not themselves realize how great the number of fruit trees they have planted. As compara tively few of the trees bore until the last year or two every man kept on plant ing, and as the few trees that bear are young and produce the minimum amount cf fruit the planting is still kept up. When these trees, in a few years, come into full bearing the fruit crop of the Territory will be something enormous. In the towns every residence lot has from 6 to 2 dozen fruit trees upon it, some of the towns being verit able orchards. So far the fruit cr p has found a ready home market but in a few years the shipment will be large and canning, preserving, and pickling establishments will be necessary to care for the crop The sale of fruit jars for the canning and preserving of fruits for domestic use has reached over 12,000,- >')() the j>ast two year.-;.

From the above taken from the report of the Gov. of Oklahoma it will be seen that the Indian Territory is soon to be come one of the great fruit raising sec tions of our conntrv: and as some of onr citizens have secured a lease of half a million acres of territory adjoining Ok lahoma, the matter is of local interest.

Esq., forrn- erly of this place, aged about 75 years Mr. Ferrero came to Butler about the year 1852 and there is sowewhat of romance as to his coming here. From the best information ever obtained he was born in the city of New York and left his home to travel and see the world. In the course of his travels he reached Pittsburgh where he found himself out of money and with no friends. He came on foot to this place, and passed through it. going on to Centre township, and there fortunately met a man on the road who proved a friend. This man was the late George MeCandless,better known as "Grammar George," on account of the interest he took in the study of language. Mr. Me- Candless was impressed with Mr. Ferrero'.s manners and conversation, and discovering he was an educated man asked him to tarrv with him. He also gave him employment, and soon procured for him a school iu the town ship, as teacher. His success as a teacher soon spread with the result that he came to Butler. Here he also taught school, but soon after l>egan the study of law in the office of Hon. Samuel A. Pnrviance He was admitted to the Bar in 1855 and in the following year, 1850. was nominted by the Republicans and elected District Attorney of the county. This office he held three years, and as soon as it expired he, (in 1»60), was elected Count} - Superintendent of our schools, holding this office for three years. After this ho went to Oil City, made some money in oil and returned and lived here until he "left the town about twenty years ago. During the progress of the. above events Mr. Ferrero married (about 1857) Miss Anna Lena Gilmore. a young lady of one of the then leading families of this place, and herself a leader in the fashionable society of the town. She died shortly after, leaving a daughter who is living here, a respected citizen, and the only representative left of the once numerous Gilmore family. About 18(58, Mr. Ferrero again mar rie<l, this time Miss Anna Lena Puryi ance. a daughter of the late General John Nelson Purviance, a respected lady who is still living in this place. She has two sons and two daughters. She obtained a divorce from her hus band some years ago. His death came from being struck by a trolly car on. the streets of Cincinnati.

Mr. Powers had ljeen spending the sum mer at Atlantic City with his family and it is presumed that he fell from the train from that resort which reaches that city via the Bridge route at p. m. Mr. Powers's home was in Frankford, a Philadelphia suburb, which is the first station this side of the Delaware river. He probably left his seat in the car while the train was crossing the bridge, so as to be in readi ness to leave the train when it reached Frankford, which is only a short dis tance beyond the Philadelphia terminus of the structure. Mr. Powers was a man of heroic build, measuring con siderably over six feet, and weighing aliout 275 pounds His friends express the theory that he had gone to the plat form to escape the heat in the car and was jolted off while the train was on a curve.

While a train was iu Rnxanl Station a terrific storm com menced. and, although the brake was applied in the van and on the engine, the force of the wind was such that the train was driven along the line. lhe engine dashed through the buffer shop at the end of the line,and traveled along about six lengths of rail laid end to end without (ish plate fastenings. After leaving these rails the engine plowed along the embankment, and then came fortunately to a standstill, no great damage having been done. W. S. & E.
