SUMMONS TO W
CHinese Minister, Called
Washington.
to
STATE DEPARTMENT CONFERENCE
Administration Probably Preparing:
"Another Jfote Chaffee Reeoa-
zncndH Promotion of Dasgreit.
WASHINGTON, Sept 7. Minister T7u
arrived in "Washington from Cape May
this afternoon, and, although it -was near
the close of the official day. he proceeded
directly to the State Itepartment. It is
understood that he received an intima
tion that the department officials -wer
desirous of conferring, with him, hence
his return to Washington. Jor nearly an
hour the Minister was. closeted""with .Act
ing" Secretary Kill and Assistant Sec? e
tary Adee, the door being1 locked mean
time and not even the messengers al
lowed entrance. None of the parties JU
the conference was communicative, ' but
at its conclusion Dr. Hill repaired to
the White. House with a portfolio well
illled -with papers. For several hours
preceding1 the Minister's visit, Acting- Sec
retary Hill and Assistant Secretary Adee
hod been engaged In a secret conference
and it was trathercd that the 'negotia
tions relative to China were approach
ing another phase and that another pro
nouncement xf 'some ldnd was in prep
aration, i
The fact is recalled that when the
United States made its response to the
Russian note on the 30th the officials
here expressed the Tjellef nhat about a
week's time would be required to deter
mine upon the next step, and at the end
of that time it would be definitely known
whether or not the troops .were to be
vrithdrawn from Pekin. That period of
time has now elapsed.
The reports Xrom the European Chan
cellories Indicate that officially, at least,
this important subject is being treated
with the greatest deliberation, and at
least another week, and probably even
more time, may be consumed In framing
the last of the answers to the Russian
note.
Meanwhile our Government has pretty
well satisfied Itself as to the attitude of
each and all the powers Interested in the
Chinese problem. It may be that this
knowledge is regarded as sufficient upon
which to base a forward movement, and
perhaps in this case an independent move
ment by the United States toward the
ultimate withdrawal of the troops and
the settlement with China, which the
Government has had in mind since the
beginning of the trouble.
The consultations with Mr. Wu are
believed to have been Inspired by a de
sire to learn something of the personality
of the Chinese notables whose names
have been suggested as proper to consti
tute the Chinese side of any commission
"which may be named to arrange a settle
ment of the difficulties. Mr. Wu is an ar
dent adherent of 1A Hung Chang,
There is much speculation here as to
the personnel of the American commis
sion In case the peace negotiations should
be entrusted to such a body, and the
names of men prominent in International
affairs in recent years have been can
vassed. Included in the list is the name
of John W. Fpster, but it is regarded
as much more probable that if he ap
pears at all in these negotiations it Trill
be in his old place as a representative
of the Chinese Government. He was as
sociated with L.1 Hung Chang during the
peace negotiations which closed the Chl-no-Japanese
war, and it is said that Earl
1I has a high sense of appreciation of
his work for China then.
There was a dearth of official infor
mation from China today. General Chaf
fee got through a dispatch, dated Sep
tember 1, at Pekin, indicating that cour
iers are still employed to close the tele
graph line of communication between
Tien Tsin and Pekin. This dispatch made
xio mention of the military situation, and
It was inferred that affairs in Pekin re
main quiet. The message commends Col
onel Aaron S Daggett, Fourteenth United
States Infantry, for his gallantry at Yang
Tsun, and for his gallantry and excellent
supervision of the attack on the gates
of the Imperial City August 15 General
Chaffee recommends that he be made a
Brigadier-General. -Colonel Daggett has
nine months to serve before attaining C4
years. If promoted to a Brigadier-General,
General Chaffee states Colonel Dag
gett "will gladly accept retirement Im
mediately. The War Department has been in
formed of the arrival of the transport
Warren at Nagasaki yesterday with two
battalions of the Ninth Cavalry and re
cruits The health of the troops is re
ported to be excellent. The Warren will
proceed to Manila. The department also
Is advised of the arrival of the animal
transport Aztec at Kobe with horses for
the Third Cavalry aboard.
It was definitely stated at the conclu
sion of the Cabinet meeting that ro lato
official information had been received from
the powers regarding the Russian note to
withdraw troops from Pekin. It is under
stood that no answer has been received
trom England or Japan on this subject,
and this Government is waiting for infor
mation, particularly from these two na
tions. The note from Germany is not
considered altogether satisfactory nor en
tirely definite, and it is thought that
something further from that government
may be soon received. It is authoritative
ly stated that Russia; so far as this Gov
ernment knows, has not modified her
original position and has not consented
to leave a detachment of troops in Pekin.
If this Government is taking any meas
ures urging the return of the Imperial
family to Pekin." the responsible officials
decline to make any statement on this.
Such 'a step, however, on the part of
the Chinese officials, it is pointed out,
would be highly desirable and might be
an Important factor in facilitating the
progress of the negotiations for a peace
ful settlement of the existing troubles
With the responsible head of the Chi
nese Empire at the capital city in direct
communication -with the representatives
of the allied powers, much more satis
factory results could be accomplished
than by negotiations through subordi
nates. Nothing came to the State Department
today from Consul-Generai Goodnow, at
Shanghai, confirmatory of the press re
port that X.I Hung Chang had asked for
an American escort to Pekin. In the ab
sence of confirmation of such a rumor,
the officials here prefer not to make any
statements as to the reception of such a
request.
The situation at Amoy having apparent
ly cleared up considerably, the Navy
Department today instructed Admiral
Remev to dipooso as he deems best of
the gunbcat Cast'r.e which wa3 sent to
that port some days ago when Japan
landed marines. The Castlne was on her
way to the Cavite Naval Station when
the troubles at Amoy threatened to be
come acute, and was diverted to the lat
ter place to look out for American inter
ests. The statement was made tonight that
no new note had been sent to the pow
ers on the Chinese situation. The United
States, animated solely with the purpose
of having an early settlement of the Chi
nese question, prefers that the allies
should Temain in Pekin until a settle
ment is definitely reached, but it is re
iterated, that should any nation with
draw its troops, then our Government will
do likewise.
ATTITUDE OF GEEUXAXY.
A Clear Rejection of the Russian
Proposal.
NEfW YORK, Sept. 7. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The German reply to the Russian pro
posal may be in the form of a compro
mise, and as such it will be treated in or
der to save the face of Russia; but in
substance the communication,, which has
been, made to the State Department is a
clear rejection of the Russian proposition.
It matters very little in principle wheth-
1 er the whoje-or a portion of the allied
contingent Is kept in the uninese capital,
but the point is that Pekin will continue
to be held by foreign troops till peace Ne
gotiations are concluded.
The most important concession Uer
many makes to Russia ib the agreement
to respect the persons or The 2Smpress
and the Imperial Ministers. This is good
sense, for otherwise it would be impossi
ble to get the Chinese Court and Privy
Council to come back and begin negotia
tions, since it is out of the question
that the Princes and Mandarins would
put themselves in the. power of the al
lies in order to be tried and -possibly
executed.
The report that a punitive expedition is
starting from Tien Tsin for Pao Ting Fu
is probably correct, but the further
statement that an allied column is set
ting out for Tai "Yuen JTU, the present
residence of the Empress, nearly 300 miles
from Pekin. is certainly fictitious.
A suggestive Item of the Chinese news
yesterday was that an order suspending
the departure of tho Fourth Brigade of
Indian trooDS has been, cancelled and that
the entire force would proceed at once
for the far East Twelve hundred more
Indian troops have been landed at Shang
hai, so that there are now over 3000 men
there and 1000 camp followers. The Gex
man troops were to have landed at
Shanghai yesterday and the Austrian? are
also preparing toa disembark a small de
tachment, doubtless to give moral sup
port to the allies; so that a powerful lit
tle international army is gradually be
ing formed at the Tangtse treaty port.
It is possible that the powers may also
have to land a force further. south be
fore long. Street riots are said to be
frequent In Canton and the situation in
that quartetr is by no means settled.
The publication of Admiral Seymour's
detailed report of the operations of the
abortive Pekin relief expedition has made
a good impression. The Admiral pays
high compliments to all the foreign sail
ors and marines under his command, and
there is no doubt that all concerned in
this enterprise did very well. The report
does not lead to the belief in the effici
ency of regular Chinese troops. Had they
possessed any skill in the use xt the ex
cellent weapons with which they were
armed, they should have wiped out Sey
mour's small detachment, encumbered
as it was "with wounded men and being
short of supplies. But1 the Chinese almost
Invariably fired high and their vrilleya
did little execution.
LI Hung Chang's secretary, according
to a message from Hong Kong, has ar
rived at that place and reports that Earl
Li leaves Shanghai for Pekin tomorrow.
Whether he will be escorted by a Japan
ese or Russian cruiser he was doubtful.
Probably the task will be more congenial
to the latter.
TAIilC OF A COMPROMISE. i
Powers Trins to Induce RnssI to
Modify Her Policy.
PARIS, Sept, 7. Active negotiations are
in progress looking to some compromise
arrangement with Russia regarding the
position she has assumed toward Pekin.
The communications exchanged by the
powers now have better promise of suc
cess. The compromise suggested, it is as
serted here, is the withdrawal of forces
of all the powers from Pekin, leaving an
International guard to protect the Lega
tions, which, it is further asserted in
Paris, will be allowed to remain at the
Chinese capital pending a peace settle
ment.' The main body of troops, it is also
said, will retire to the neighborhood of
Tien Tsin, leaving sufficient forces along
the road to keep the open route and pro
tect the railroad between Pekin and Tien
Tsin. Russia's attitude is Interpreted here
as meaning that she will withdraw her
troops outside of Pekin, but not necessa
rily a great distance from that tlty.
Alarm in the Sonth.
NEW YORK. Sept 7. A dispatch to the
Herald from Hong Kong says:
The Chamber of Commerce and the
China Association are telegraphing a
strong protest against the withdrawal of
troops from Pekin till a proper govern
ment has been established. They urge
that withdrawal would be disastrous to
foreign prestige throughout China.
Alarm is manifested among reputable
Chinese, and there are rumors of con
templated simultaneous rising in Canton
and Hong Kong on Saturday. The police
place no credence in the reports. The
French gunboat Decldee and the trans
port Surnal have arrived.
Reports from the West River have been
received of disturbances at Tai Ping,
where 300 robbers are looting. The Wu
Chow prefect and 100 men fortified a
pawnshop and telegraphed to Wu Chow
for assistance, and 400 troops were dis
patched to quell the trouble.
There Is disaffection at Tung Chow, but
It is not likely to come to a head for
lack of arms.
Li Wnnt nn American Escort.
LONDON, Sept 7. A special dispatch
from Shanghai says Li Hung Chang
has made a request for" an American es
cort to accompany him on his Journey
to Pekin, and that United States Con
sul Goodnow is considering his request.
Now that a proposal more in conform
ity with the original American recom
mendation has apparently met with the
approbation of at least a majority of the
powers, the British Foreign Office has
allowed it to become definitely known
that the British Government is of tho
opinion that it is advisable for the al
lied forces to remain at Pekin until sat
isfactory arrangements for peace, etc.,
are Concluded with tho Chinese Govern
ment The Kaiser Has 2Uo Fears.
STETTIN. Sept 7. The Emperor and
Empress of Germany arrived here today
to attend the imperial navy maneuvers.
In reply to an address of welcome from
the Burgomaster, His Majesty declared
his conviction that success would attend
the efforts being made to establish in the
far East a stable government and orderly
conditions under which the German mer
chants can carry on trade undisturbed
and without risk. In conclusion, His
Majesty said he felt no anxiety for the
future, and was satisfied his plan would
succeed and serve the best interests of
the Fatherland.
Waldersee at Colombo.
COLOMBO, Sept 7. Count von Walder
see, Commander-in-Chief of the allied
troops in China, arrived here this morn
ing. After spending a few hours ashore,
the Count resumed his voyage.
Operators "Will Not Arbitrate.
HAZLETON, Pa., Sept 7. The only
new development in the strike situation
here tonight is the unconfirmed rumor
which has gained general circulation that
if a 'strike is declared by the national
executive board of the Mine Workers to
morrow, all the operators in the region
will close their collieries for an Indefinite
period Simdav next The operators and
superintendents, when asked about the
matter, professed entire Ignorance of the
general understanding. It can be posi
tively stated, however, that the operators
will not agree to arbitration.

"I wish I had an opportunity to talk
to you at length on more than one is
sue There Is this difference between our
opponents and ourselves in this campaign:
We are willlpg to discuss at length and
to stand by our positions not only on
every issue we raise, but n every Issue
that they raise; "whereas our opponents,
headed by Mr Bryan, not only won't
talk on the Issues we raise, but they do
not even talk of the Issues they have
raised themselves."
At Lelnsburg the train made a brief stop
and Governor Roosevelt shook hands with
as mnny as could get to him. and he
talked to those who could hear him from
the rear platform of his coach for two
minutes, when the special train resumed
Its Journey.
At Lansing;.
LANSING, Mich , Sept. 7. Escorted by
the Commercial Travelers' Club, of this
city, Governor Roosevelt, on arrival here,
drove to a large tent which had been
erected two blocks from- the station and
spoke to an enthusiastic audience. Gov
ernor Roosevelt said:
"Y6u men and women of the capital
city of this great utato, I am glad to
have a chance of being with you and
of having gone through your state to
day. I have not the tlmo to discuss all
the issues as I would like to discuss
them with you. bUt I want to dwell upon
one or two points. Our opponents assert
that the , issue which they themselves
have raised 'in this campaign and which
they said was paramount four years ago
has ceased to be the paramount Issue
now that the issue of having a dollar
worth '160 cents Is no longer an Issue of
the flrst rank. The one Indispensable
requisite to financial and industrial pros
perity is a sound currency. That, then,
1b a matter of the very flrst Importance
to the 'Nation. The currency question
is a question that goes right to the root
of our National well-being, and the only
possible excuse for disturbing the cur
rency would be the belief that it Is an
issue 'of the flrst Importance. Either it
is the greatest issue that can be raised,
or those raiding It are guilty of the great
est wrong to their fellow citizen. . If
they do not believe It is a paramount
issue, then let them abandon it entirely.
There cannot be a greater Issue than
goes to the well-being of everv home
in the land and that goes to uphold great
National honor. Unless our opponents
were willing that the issue should be re
garded as Important now as it was four
years ago, then, they did a foul wrong to
their fellow countrymen by raising it at
all.
"Another h!ng to remember, all of us,
all over the country, is to vote as Ameri
cans, not as men of New York or of
Michigan .or of Maine or of California,
but as" Americans of the entire countrv.
You cannot have an Issue raised which
shall be an issue In one part of the
country and not in another. You cannot
coo like a sucking dove about it east of
the Mississippi River and roar like a Hon
nbout It west of tho Mississippi River.

about It If you have got a good cur
rency; it will be a good currency In an
parts of the country. If our opponents
believe in free silver to the extent of
specifically reasserting it in their plat
form at Kansas City, then they have no
excuse, save a lack of sincerity, in not
insisting upon 4t with equal plainness on
every platform in the land. You cannot
say that free silver Is not an Issue in the
East and middle West and a'et try to
say that It is just as much an issue as
'ever in the farther West. It is Impor
tant that we should have intelligence and
common sense in our representatives at
Washington. It is even more important
thatjtye, should have sincerity, and what
can you say, either of the intelligence
or the sincerity of the "party that four
years ago said? that if the gold standard
was not abolished we would have four
j ears of hard times; or of the sincerity
of thafc- .party, which says now- that it is

One or" two qualities, but ifcany, to make
a good soldier. In the first place, you
have to have patriotism. That is not
enough. I don't care how patriotic a man
Js, 4f he has a tendency to run away, he
-is- no good. A good soldier has" to have
courage, and that is not enough. I don't
care how patriotic and brave he is. If
he thinks he knows it all and is not
willing to obey orders, his usefulness as
a soldier Is impaired. Now, it is just so
ip civil life- In the first place, you have
got to have honesty; honesty, in matters
of finance, honesty In the administration
of National, state and municipal gov
ernments. Honesty is the first requisite,
though it is not enough." You have got
to have courage with honesty, and that
Is not enough. I do not care how honest
and brave a man is, if he is a natural
born fool, ho Is worth nothing on earth.
You have got to have common sense. A
government Is such a difficult thing, es
pecially In regard to Its financial prin
ciples, that courage, honesty and com
mon sense enter Into every problem, from
the currency to the Philippines.
"In this campaign of 1900 we are mak
ing a campaign like that of 1864. We are
fighting on more than a party Issue, and
we think we have the right to appeal to
all men, North, South, East and West,
whether in the past they have been Re
publicans or havo belonged to the Dem
ocracy, that they .vote for- hard money
and expansion: whatever may have been
their affiliations In the past, whatever
may have been their views on minor
governmental matters, that they should

re-election of the man who has the good
fortune to embody In his policy the prin
ciples of sound admlnlstratjpn and. hon

Kinley." At Jackson, Roosevelt met a large
number of citizens in tho public square,
where a stand ,had been erected,, anu.
here again he spoke for 10 minutes.. He
said that to elect Mr. Bryan would
undo the work of 1896 and reverse by one
stroke the whole industrial system wnrch
had been setting so well during the pass
four years. Short, stops were made at
Eaton Rapids, Charlotte and Hastings,
where good-sized crowds had assembled.
No speaking was done, but a good deal
of hand-shaking was accomplished.

Its cause exists In the blood, in what
causes inflammation of the mucous mem
brane. It is therefore Impossible to cure It by
local applications.
It is positively dangerous to neglect it,
because it always affects the stomach and
deranges the general health, and is likely
to develop into consumption.
It Is radically and permanently cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla which removes tha
cause, cleanses the blood of scrofulous and
all other Impurities and gives vigor and
tone to the whole system.
