CONFIRMS VON KETTELER MURDER
The Powers Unanimously Asrree to
Accept Japan's Offer to For
i Blah Reinforcements.
WASHINGTON, July 2. The Navy De
partment today received the following
cablegram from Admiral Kempff, without
date:
"Chee Foo. Secretary of the Navy,
Washington: Runner from Pekin re
ports legations are besieged; provisions
nearly exhausted; situation desperiate.

Twenty thousand Chinese soldiers inside,
80,000 outside Fekln; 3000 reported bound
for Tien Tsln; still fighting at Tien Tsln.
Communication with Tien Tsin by rail
and river Insecure. KBMPFP."
The word "Duty" in Admiral KempfTs
dispatch Is taken to mean "Dutch," in
reference to that legation.
The Navy Department tonight received
the following from Admiral Kempff:
"Che Foo. Secretary Navy: Casualties
to date: Corporal James F. Lannlgan.
Privates J. K. Miller, W. H. Morris, B.
M. Provensal, John Hunter, W. H. Nich

ner's Mate B. Benson, Apprentice H. A.
Broman, Landsman H. S. Eversen, seri

swain's Mate Holoyoke, Coxswain Thom
as and 34 others slightly wounded. Ships
crews all nations re-embarking. Soldiers
and marine remain ashore. Captain Mc
Calla on duty. KBMPFF."
Captain McCalla was reported wounded
in a previous cablegram, so the latest
news indicates that he was not badly
burn
A feeling of disquiet was noticeable
among Administration officials and diplo
mats. The German Embassy showed
particular anxiety for Information re
specting the sad end of Baron von Ket
teler, and in the course of the afternoon
Secretary Hermann, of the Embassy, paid
a special visit to the State Department.
M. Thlebaut, the Charge of the French
Embassy, also called In quest of infor
mation. It was said. These visits revived
rumors that an effort is afoot to reach an
International agreement respecting the
conduct of the forces of the powers in
China.
It was said this afternoon at the State
Department that the only news was that
there seemed to be a unanimous agree
ment on the part of the powers to wel
come with the utmost cordiality Japan's
offer to furnish reinforcements for the
forces now operating along the Pel Ho
River In tho effort to reach Pekin as Ja
pan, alone of, the powers, is prepared to
throw into China whatever number of
troops may be needed. The news to that
effect had come to the State Department
from all directions, and particularly from
England, Russia and France. As far as
the State Department Is concerned, it
had previously accorded Japan a free
hand in the matter of the number of
troops to bo employed in China upon a
voluntary and courteous statement of the
purpose of the employment of these
forces.
A gathering in Secretary Hay's office,
late in the afternoon, of Secretary Root
and Secretary Hitchcock, taken in con
nection with the fact that Secretary
Long had been In conference earlier in
the day with the Secretary of State, led
to the circulation of rumors that com
pleto developments were to be expected,
connected 'with jtho strengthening of the
X'nited States forces now In China, These
rumors, however, were speedily sot at
rest by the statement from one of the
participants, that the conference had
nothing to do with the Chinese affair, but
related to some Indian troubles in the
Northwest.
Secretary Root did not hesitate to en
ter Into a specific denial of some of the
sensational stories which are persistently
circulated every day regardless of facts.
He said that he hac not ordered any
troops to China beyond the Ninth In
fantry from Manila, now on the way to
Taku, and possibly the Sixth Cavalry,
about to start from San Francisco for
Nagasaki. The destination of the latter
would depend upon developments. He
said he had not ordered tho Fqurth and
Eighteenth Regiments of Infantry to
China, as had been reported In some
Quarters, nor had he made the slightest
preparation for their dispatch.
Respecting the withdrawal of troops
from Cuba, the Secretary said that he
did not himself know which of the regi
ments would be first brought home. Gen
eray Miles and General Wood were try
ing to settle that question, there being
eorae difference as to whether the with
drawals should be based upon the order
in which the regiments had gone to Cuba
or upon other conditions, such as the
conditions of the service and the need
at home for cavalry and Infantry organi
zations. Secretary Long contradicted the report
that the New Orleans was to be sent to
Taku or elsewhere In China, and added
that he did not even Intend to send out
another ship to make up the deficiency
caused by the disaster to the Oregon.
After 48 hours' consideration and prob
ably after consulting the President at
Canton by wire, the Cabinet officers here
have decided not to ratify the agreement
of nine articles providing for the neutral
ization of Shanghai and the Southern Chi
nese treaty ports submitted by Minister
Wu. There were some things in the
agreement which the Government felt
that it could not accept Such, for in
stance, was the absolution proposed to
be extended to the Chinese Government
In advance for any outrages that might
occur in the treaty ports.
The Government has, however, no ob
jection to the principles embodied In the
arrangement, and has, therefore, told
Consul-General Goodnow, by cable, that
he might pledge the United States Gov
ernment to commit no act of hostility so
long as the Viceroy of the province is
able to keep the peace and will protect
foreigners. This determination nas been
made known to the other powers.
There is every disposition on the part
of the Government to encourage such an
agreement, for they will not only relieve
the Government of the necessity of main
taining a large naval force at the south
ern treaty ports, but will tend to
strengthen decidedly whatever opposition
there may bo in China to the anti-foreign
element headed by Prince Tuan. Our
Government Is convinced that this leader
does not represent the Chinese Govern
ment. It also is satlued that the official
class of China generally, the men of In
fluence and learning, are decidedly op
posed to Tuan's policy.
Holding this -view, our Government is
still convinced that a state of war with
China does not exist, that we are merely
opposing an Insurrectionary mob, even
though that mob has been swelled by
Chinese soldiers.
TEANK OFFERING.

AT BRYAK'S HOME.
Carter Harrison Frequently Men
tioned for Second Place.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 2. With the re
turn to Kansas City today of ex-Senator
David B. Hill, of New York, and J. C. Mc
Gulre and Eugene Hughes, of Syracuse,
N. Y., the gentlemen who have been clos
est to Mr. Bryan in consultation over the
platform and the Vice-Presidency, the
conference stage at tho Bryan home has
given way to mere spectacular features.
They began today with the arrival of the
Colorado delegates. So far as the plat
form in which Mr. Bryan Is concerned
it Is supposed to have been intrusted
to Senator Hill to manage at tho Kansas
City end.
The Vice-Presidency is not so clear, but
the developments of tho day seem to em
phasize the belief that Congressman Sul
zer is no longer running. Senator Hill
and District Delegates Hughes and Mc
Gulre are not for him. Among tho Lin
coln crowd, now that the Nebraska dele
gates themselves, who are for Towne,
have gone, the name of Carter Harrison
is more frequently mentioned than that
of any other second place possibility.
Mayor Harrison, it is asserted, would bo
acceptable to Mr. Bryan, but It is believed
that not even to his intimate friends
has he expressed a leading preference as
to his running mate.
The new front porch of the Bryan home
received its real dedication today. The
Colorado contingent, over a 100 strong,
and including most of the delegates,
stopped over from 8 o'clock: until noon
and visited Mr. Bryan in a body. A local
marching club acted as an escort for the
visitors and Hon. T. M. Patterson and
Mrs. Patterson drove to the Bryan home
to notify the occupants of what was
coming. The musical contingent of the
Colorado party attracted the most atten
tion on account of their uniforms, all
being dressed as Indians. The vistltors
filed up the walk to where Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan stood on the walk, a few feet In
front of the first sfop leading to the
veranda. Mr. Maloney introduced the
Coloradoans to Mr. and Mrs. Bryan one
by one, and when all hands had been
shaken around, H. Franklin, of Denver,
on behalf of the delegation, said In part:
"Mr. Bryan: We, the residents of your
neighboring state of Colorado, on our
way to the Democratic National Conven
tion, could not resist the temptation to
call on you. In 1896, you. as a candidate
for the Presidency, received between 80
and SO per cent of our votes, and I want
to assure you that Colorado Is still for
you and that we will give you a hand
some majority again this falL You have
been a brave and honorable and consist
ent follower of the truth, and for that
reason we honor and support you."
Mr. Bryan responded In a speech occu
pying five minutes. He said in part:
"I thank you for this friendly call and
assure you I appreciate your good will
and kind Interest, and I am sure that
the citizens of Lincoln Join with me when
I say that I am glad to see you here. I
am sure that the Colorado people are
no more anxious for a realization of the
principles of the Democratic platform
than are the people of many other states.
But I want to say to you that when Colo
rado forsakes IS to 1 and when the people
have ceased In their support of princi
ples, I will be found still fighting, even
though alone. The Republicans held
their National convention at Philadel
phia on the anniversary of the founding
of their party, thereby exhibiting a parti,
san spirit. The Democrats hold theirs In
Kansas City on the Fourth of July, tho
anniversary of the birth of the Nation,
thereby manifesting a patriotic spirit.
The Republicans would repeal the Dec
laration of Independence. The Democrats
would reaffirm it throughout the world.
Where there was one reason in 1S9S for
carrying Colorado for the Democratic
ticket, there are 16 reasons now. Tho
Democratic party stands for the samo
principles in the North as well as In the
South, In the East and as well as in the
West. Ours is a party where Its speakers
do not have to revise their speeches for
each section of the country they visit."
Mr. Bryan was vigorously applauded
at the conclusion of his address.
HIS BRAVERY REWARDED.
Captain of a Quartermaster' Laattch
Snved Several Live.
MANILA. May 27. Captain A. T. Beck
er, commanding the Quartermaster's
launch Seattle, plying In Manila Bay, has
been presented with a Bllver coffee urn
In commemoration of his rescue of several
officers and men of Company G. of tho
Thirty-second Volunteer Infantry.
On December 19, last, a gale was blow
ing on Manila Bay, and a lighter in tow
of the Seattle was caught In the storm
between Oranl and Manila. On board
the lighter were Colonel Craig, Captain
Craven, Quartermaster Captain Rumbolt,
Lieutenant Wllllams-Foote and 41 sol
diers of Company G. The lighter was
loaded deep with regimental property and
stores, and made a heavy tow for the
Seattle. Soon the seams of the lighter
opened with the straining. She began
to fill and the men on board were soon
waist deep In water. They threw the
cargo overboard, but the lighter began
slowly to sink. A heavy sea was run
ning. When Captain Becker brought the Se
attle near to the lighter in order to
save those on board, the towllne connect
ing the two boats, got entangled In the
launch's propeller, and she became help
less. Tho lighter began to sink rapidly,
and to save tho lives of those on board
Captain Becker dove over the side of his
boat and, with a knife, began cutting
away the snarled towllne. This was
dangerous work under the overhanging
stern of a tossing and roll'ng steam
launch.
Three times the captain tackled the
job. The last time they hauled him on
board exhausted and unconscious, but he
had cleared the screw. The Seattle came
alongside the lighter and over GO lives
were saved.
Transport Warren Comlnff Back.
WASHINGTON, July 2. General Mac
Arthur cabled the War Department today
from Manila that the remains of Lieuten
ant Draper. Twenty-second Infantry,
were received June SO, and were burled
at San Isldro, Luzon.
Another message stated that the trans
port Warren sailed from Manila yesterday
with a battalion of the Twenty-third
United States Infantry bound for San
Francisco. The men In this battalion have
nearly completed their terms of enlist
ment, or are lncapaclted for active ser
vice. The departure of the transport at
this juncture Is somewhat significant.
She is one of the largest troopships In
the service, and was relied upon to car
ry a full regiment with all arms and
equipment to China in case of necessity.
Surrender of Aqnlno.
WASHINGTON. July 2. The following
cable dated Manila was received at the
War Department this morning:
"General Aquino, a prominent-leader of
the Insurgent forces, surrendered uncon
ditionally to First Lieutenant John O'Con
nell, with the Maccabee scouts, on June
25, with 64 rifles and ammunition.
"MACARTHUR."
General MacArthur also cabled the fol
lowing: "General Rlcarte, leader of the threat
ened uprising in Manila during this year,
recently very active, 'was captued July
1 by native police between Paco and
Stano. .The evr-nt Is 'Important in relation
to the conditions in Manila." . "
MURDER OF VON KETfELER
GERMANY WTLIj AVBKGE THE MIN
ISTER'S DEATH.
Conference Between the Kaiser and
Vea BaloTr Berlin Press
Excited.
BERLIN, July 2. From well-authenticated
sources the representative of the
Associated Press is able to state that to
day, after the detailed statement by
Count von Bulow, Secretary of State lor
Foreign Affairs, regarding the Chinese
situation. Emperor William made up his
mind to insist upon full satisfaction for
the death of Baron von Ketteler, for
which purpose ho reserved to send al
together armed forces approximately as
large as those of the other powers chiefly
Interested in restoring order in China,
The precise size of the forces has not yet
been determined, but It Is expected they
will amount to a score of thousands. A
considerable portion of the German fleet
will be sent aloo. This, is evidenced by
tho orders issued tonight to prepare five
new battlo-shlps for sailing. It is under
stood that Prince Henry of Prussia hes
requested the Emperor to give him com
mand of this division, but It is doubtful
if His Majesty will agree to this.
The Emperor and Count von Bulow are
fully aware that constitutional difficulties
render difficult the dispatching of so large
a contingent, but both are agreed that It
must be done. In this they are sup
ported by the singularly unanimous atti
tude of the German press. Tonight a
number of the leading papers are serious
ly discussing means for fulfilling the Na
tion's wish to mako reprisals against
China correspondingly severe wlta tho
outrages.
At the Foreign Ofllce tonight tho situa
tion for Germany was described as most
difficult, especially since the latest news
shows that serious trouble is impending
in Shan Tung.
The Chinese legation here is still smil
ingly snug. Minister Lu Hal Houn told
a representative of the Associated Press
that ho was extremely sorry for the
bloody events In Pekin, but he felt sure
that the Dowager Empress wis guiltless.
From an Interesting chat with him, the
point seems worth recording that the
Minister took It for granted that the
powers will subdue the revolt in China
and then arrange a new government.
THE KILIiING OF VOJC ICETTEIiER.
Germany oa Yet Undecided Hovr to.
Act.
BERLIN, July 2-Privy Councillor
Hammann Informed the correspondent of
the Associated Press today that the of
ficial dispatch announcing Baron von Ket
telers assassination was received here
early today. It was based upon a direct,
written message conveyed from Pekin
and signed by Von Bergen, a member of
the German Legation at Pekin, and Sir
Robert Hart, the Inspector-General or
Customs. It was addressed to the com
mander of the European forces at Tien
Tsln, and was forwarded June 25 by Con
sul Zimmerman, the German Consul at
Che Foo.
The message contained a number of in
teresting details. Baron von Ketteler,
whilo riding on horseback to the Tsung
11 Ynmun (Foreign Office), was attacked
by a large number of Chinese, who pulled
him off his horse and beat him to death.
An interpreter who was with him was
seriously injured, but escaped and sub
sequently reached the German legation.
Herr Hammann supposes that there
was more bloodshed at the legation, the
destruction of which he declares was
more alarming because, the message
adds, that the condition of tho whites in
Pekin was desperate, and aid was imper
atively needed. It was also announced
that the ammunition was almost exhaust
ed. When Hammann was asked whether
the course of Germany or that of the oth
er powers toward China will be altered
by the assassination of Baron von Ket
teler, he replied that he was unable to
answer the question, because Count von
Bulow, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
left here yesterday evening to meet Em
peror William at Wllllamsbaven before
the alarming news was received here. He
supposed Count von Bulow will forego
his vacation and remain In Berlin.
Herr Hammann was also asked if the
Chinese Minister here would be given his
passports, but the Privy Councillor did
not reply.
GERMAN PRESS EXCITED.
Argue for the Sending of a Xarsre
Force to China.
BERLIN. July 2. The press tonight
unanimously deplores Baron von Kettel
er's death, mentioning particularly his
courage and strong sense of duty. The
Kreuz Zeitung says Germany cannot al
low the murder to go unpunished, espe
cially if the proof is furnished that the
Chinese Government has made common
cause with the Boxers. The paper argues
strongly for the sending of a large Ger
man force, since they are assured of
bases of operation at Taku and Tien Tsln.
The Tageblatt talks more heatedly. It
says this deed will force Germany Into
the first rank of Interested powers, while
hitherto she was behind Russia, England
and France. The paper expresses confi
dence that this unparalleled crime will
create a sentiment of European solidity,
so that the blood of Baron von Ketteler
will become a cement uniting the whole
white race against the yellow.
The North German Gazette says:
"Above all the International forces must
now take Pekin and stop the anarchy
there."
The Chinese Minister, Lu Hal, counsols
strongly thai the powers Insist that the
Chinese Crown Prince Pu Tslng be sent
to Europe In order that he may become
aware of the superiority of Western civ
ilization. He described the Crown Prince
as a most intelligent youth.
Ezpedltionnry Force Inspected.
BERLIN, July 2. Emperor William ad
dressed the expeditionary force to China
at Wllhelmshaven this afternoon and In
spected the transports. His majesty or
dered that the First division, First Naval
Brigade, should prepare to sail for China
as soon as possible.
Vlce-Admlral Benneman, at Taku, in
announcing the report of the death of
Baron von Ketteler, says the bearer of
the letter containing the report of the
baron's death also reported that the le
gation Interpreter was Wounded and the
Chinese quarter of Pekin burned.

says:
"Our Minister at Pekin was murdered

The consular body at Tien Tsln has

LA FAYETTE MONUMENT.
Resolution of the French. Chamber
Accepting It.
PARIS, July 2. Leon Bourgeois, in the
Chamber of Deputies, today called atten
tion to the La Fayette monument and its
Inauguration, July 4. outlining the move

Havana Mayor Inaugurated.
HAVANA, July 2. The inauguration
yesterday of General Alejandro Hernan
dez as the first Cuban elected Mayor of
Havana, and the parade have been the
subject of much local comment, especially
in the case of the parade, as it showed
that the feeling of the masses toward
the United States Is utterly different to
that of tho "cafe popinjays" and other
similar sources usually drawn upon here
to discover public sentiment. Though
the parado was not composed of big
landowners or lawyers, or even of rich
business men, still there was no question
that it represented the majority of tho
people. Every organization, as it passed
the balcony where Governor-General
"Wood and his staff stood, uncovered even
during the pouring rain. Tho last hour
was made the occasion to give an ovation
to General "Wood personally, and before
th paraders passed each body gave loud
"vivas" for the United States.

It would bd discourteous of me to say I
would not accept the nomination If It Is
offered me. I do not think my name
will go before the convention."

Catarrh Is an obstinate and dangerous
disease. It clings tenaciously to the sys
tem, and grows more malignant with, each
returning Fall and Winter.
The time to take treatment for dis
eases ot a catarrhal nature Is now. The
climatic conditions are most favorable.
In fact, the best of the year, the liabil
ity to taking cold being the lowest, and
ono month's treatment now will do moro
good than two months In cold and rainy
weather.
Time and again Dr. Copeland has urged
upon persons In desperate stages of catar
rhal disease the necessity and Importance
of taking treatment while the weather Is
most favorable to a cure.
Now Is that time. Those who suffer
from catarrh should take advantage of
all the Influences that operate now In
favor of a cure. They should not put
of treatment until next "Winter's stormy
days, but should prudently "mond their
HOME TREATMENT.

"Do you sleep with mouth wide
)pen?"

"Is your throat dry or sora?"
"Havo you a bad taste In tho
morning?"
"Do you cough7"
"Do you cough worse at nlghtr
"Is your tongue coatedT'
"la your appetite failing?"
"13 there pain after eating?"
"Are you light-headed?"
"When you get up suddenly are
you dizzy?"
"Do you have hot flashes?"
"Do you have liver marks?"
"Do your kidneys trouble you?"
"Do you have pain In back or

"Do you wake up tired and out

"I had catarrh all my life. My head waa
Btopped up, throat sore and hearing Im
paired. Food was not properly digested,
and I felt miserable. Drs. Copeland and
Montgomery cured me."
Captain "W. H. Foster, of the
Alblna ferry, residing at 423 Goldsmith
street, Portland: When I began treat
ment at the Copeland Institute I had long
been a sufferer from catarrh of the head
and stomach. I could not eat or sleep,
and had lost 20 pounds. I am now In good
health.
Rev. T. It. A. Sellwood, a vrell-
known rector of the Episcopal Church, re
siding at Mllwaukle My case was a very
serious one, dating back 20 years. I suf
fered severely with my head. Gradually
my hearing failed. When I began treat
ment I was very deaf. Today I hear as
well as any man could my hearing has
been perfectly restored.
Mr. Ii. II. Cheadle, proprietor of tho
Cascade dairy, Lebanon, Or., well known
In Portland: Several years ago I took
a course of treatment at the Copeland
Institute for catarrh and deafness, the
result of scarlet fever In childhood. I had
a nasty discharge from both ears. My
hearing was very dull, and I wa3 under
a constant strain to understand what was
said.
I had doctored for years without benefit.
I then decided to take up the Copeland
treatment, and from my own personal ex
perience I can and do say that this treat
ment Is all that Is claimed for it, for It
brought me a permanent and radical cure.

A majority of patients will only put
themselves under treatment at the sea
son of the year when they are suffering
actual pain and distress, namely, during
the "Winter season, when at times It Is al
most Impossible to do anything for them
on account of the changeable weather;
then, as soon as the warm weather comes
and the Immediate distressing symptoms
are lessened, they flatter themselves that
they do not need further attention, and

comes again, when they go through with
the same round of aches and pains and

Mrs. Tt. A. "Win die, St. Johns: I vras
falling in health for three or four years.
In the Summer I felt pretty well, but in
the Winter did not know a well day. i-ast
Winter was very hard on me and when
I began treatment at the Copeland Insti
tute I was
Completely Broken In Health.
Just after I began treatment I had grip
and for two weeks we had to fight for
my very life. The effects of this attack
wero to greatly aggravate my symptoms
and It seemed that I could never be well
and strong again.
I had a troublesome and vlolpnt cough,
which was always worse In the morning
hours. I had sharp pains and a distressed,
sore feeling through the chest and lungs.
I raised a great deal and frequently I
spat mucus

which kept me hawking and spitting and
the throat sore and Irritated. At night
my throat would fill up so I could not
sleep, thus adding sleeplessness to my
other sufferings. I had debilitating night
sweats and my breathing was Bhort and
labored.
After a time my stomaah became In
volved. I had no appetite or desire for
food. What little I did eat caused belch
ing and great misery.
I had lost flesh and waa so weak and
feeble that I could not attend to my
household duties. Part of the tlmo I was
unable to do anything at all. I was great
ly worried over my falling health, for sev
eral in our family had died of what the
Doctors Colled. Consumption,
and I feared I was going into that terri
ble disease. All my friend3 thought so,
too, for I had all the symptoms.
Some little tlmo ago I becamo satisfied
that the Copeland treatment was what
I was needing and I began a course of
treatment, with results that were ex
tremely gratifying and happy. In spite
of the severe drain on my strength and
vitality caused by tho grip, I improved
steadily, once I began to mend, and now
am an entirely different woman from
what I was a few months ago. I will not
go over my Bymptoms again, but I hardly
I have an ache or pain now.
