THE MORNING- OBEGOfflAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1900. STAY WITHIN REACH Chaffee's Army Will Be Close at Hand If Needed. WILL WINTER IN THE PHILIPPINES Gcrmenr and England Said to Hsve- Entered Into an Agreement to Remain la Pelda. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. The develop ments of the day in the Chinese situa tion still point to a speedy withdrawal of the United States troops from China. General Chaffee has added the -weight of his opinion to that already entertained hy many officials here. It probably Is sig nificant that the General's statements on this point -were given publicity by the Ad ministration. No confirmation is at hand here of the report that Great Britain and Germany have Joined in an agreement to remain together in Pekin, regardless of the at titude of the other powers. Should this be true, the fact doubtless -would hasten the rearward movement of the American troops, for there Is a firm determination to avoid becoming Involved in any clash between the powers, such as might rea sonably bo expected to follow the execu tion of this reported British-German pro gramme. If there have been further re sponses to the Russian note relative to evacuation, their purpose cannot be as certained. This delay no longer inter feres -with the execution of the American policy. The State Department has a rea sonably accurate understanding of the attitude of even those powers that have not made formal responses to the Rus sian note, so that the mere written rec ord of their views is not of importance. The part of the problem relative to withdrawal that remains unsolved Is the best means of securing guarantees for the attainment of the few objects set out in Secretary Hay's note of July 8, which have not yet been secured. Possibly A guarantees must be obtained from two sides from the Chinese Government as to the security of American treaty rights, and the creation of a claims commission, which shall provide for the payment of indemnity for the losses suffered by American citizens and for the expendi tures on account of the pending Tellef expedition. Then It is entirely possible that It may be regarded as necessary, if any of the allies refuse to leave Pe kin and persist in a war of conauest. that the interests of the United States In the matter of trade, of the "open door" and of all rights now guaranteed to us In China by treaty be made a matter of special agreement between the United States and this warring power. It does not follow that because the United States troops are to be with drawn this Autumn from China that our Interests will be left completely at the mercy of the other powers. On the con trary, such disposition will be made of those troops that they, with the others, can be returned to China in short order, if necessary. To this end, the entire army of General Chaffee will be chartered In some of the pleasantest portions of the Philippines. If they are wanted again in China they can be transported Inside of a weelc thoroughly refreshed and fit ted for effective action. Minister Wu has not yet been clothed with power by his government to effect a settlement of the Chinese trouble di rect with the Washington authorities. The officials are Inclined to believe that no such large power as this will be conferred upon him, though he may do as the Chi nese Ministers in Europe play an Import ant part in the preliminaries to the In stitution of regular negotiations through commissioners for a final settlement. Minister Wu today delivered to the State Tcpartment an imperial edict con lerring on Li Hung Chang absolute and unconditional authority to negotiate with the powers for peace and for the settle ment of the questions growing out of the war. The edict Is dated on the last day of the seventh moon. Chinese cal endar, which is about August 24. It is issued by the Emperor, and not the Em press Dowager, indicating that the former is now exercising those Imperial func tions which some of the powers, notably Great Britain, have insisted belonged to him rather than to the Empress Dowager. The documont does not show the place from -which It was issued, but It was transmitted through Pao Ting Fu, and probably emanated there, as the Imperial household has been at that place for some time. An extended conference was held be tween Mr. Hill and Minister Wu concern ing the extensive authority with which Li Hung Chang is now Invested. The edict makes him the sole negotiator on the part of China, giving him discretion to act finally, and in a manner to bind China, without interference from the Em peror. The edict is prior to the request sent by Li Hung Chang to the throne that the Viceroys of Nankin and Wu Chang -and Prince Ching be Included with him as negotiators. This request has not yet been responded to by the throne, so far as the Chinese Minister here is ad vised, but if Earl Li's request is granted there is no doubt it will carry the same absolute authority with -which Li Hung Chang has now been invested. Minister Wu says the authority is so complete as to remove any possible question as to the sufficiency of credentials. The following dispatch has been re ceived at the War Department: "Taku (no date). Adjutant-General, Washington Afternoon, 4th. Evidence accumulates that diplomatic relations will not be Tesumed "here tor a long time. Rus sian Legation leaves very soon for Tien Tsln. Appears to me certain the Chinese Government will not return here whilst foreign army remains, and it this true, our Legation can transact no business. L My opinion Pekln is to be merely a camp of the foreign army pending settlement by powers at other points. v "CHAFFEE " ' General Chaffee's dispatch Is In line With that officer's former declarations re specting- the advisability of withdrawing -the American troops from Pekln, and -undoubtedly -will cause the Government to Increase its efforts to effect some sort -of a settlement that will permit of an early withdrawal from China. The con ditions reported by General Chaffee ap pear to warrant the conclusion that Mr. Conger will speedily leave Pekln for one of the ports on the coast, where ho can act more effectively, and that the United States troops will not respond to the Ger man invitation to make a further of fensive campaign outside of Pekln. It Is believed that the objects that remain lo be accomplished can be secured withoiit further military operations, so far as tl"L TJnIted States troops are concerned. The idea of a removal of the diplomatic center to Shanghai meets with objec tion from those familiar with the condi tions. It is said that Shanghai is prac tically cut off from Pekln as soon as Win ter sete In, a full month being required to exchange communiratinn i, -would be inadvisable thus to' suspend the chance of ready communication with the capital. Bafon Sternberg, the German charge, had a talk with Secretary Hill this moral ing but it led to no material change In the situation. It Is understood that Count von Waldersee will arrive at Hong Kong, go thence to Shanghai, and then to Tien Tsln, which will be his mllitarv !e ?BJB due at HonS Konff about ?L?l f jSEk " at Shanshal THE PEACE COMMISSION. unxnese Ministers Abroad. Credentials. Receive IXJNDON, Sept. ia-The announcement I v . me announcement ! that the Chinese Ministers at capitals of i the powers have received satisfactory credentials authorizing them to open peace negotiations, taken in conjunction with the injunctions' contained In dis patches from the far East that China is -developing a better disposition to arrange peace terms. Is welcomed here, for the desire to expedite the settlement of the trouble is increased by dispatches re ceived from Hamburg today announcing that Germany Tvould send two additional detachments of 000 and 6000 men respec tively to China early in October. These troops, It Is reported, have already been ordered to prepare for their Journey. Shanghat dispatches, dated September 8, Insist that the great display of force must be due $o political causes; They contend that the attitude of the Chinese is peaceable and dpes not call for the' taking of extraordinary measures. They say that there have already been landed 8500 Indian, 800 French and 450 German troops, in addition to 800 volunteers and 4000 naval men who are available. There are 19 foreign war ships at Shanghai, In cluding the united States gunboat Prince ton, and 14 at Woo Sung, including tho United States cruiser New Orleans. Today comes the news that the Japan ese representative at Shanghai has In formed his colleagues that Japan is send ing troops to participate in the occupa tion of Shanghai. Pending their arrival, it Is added, 600 Japanese sailors will be landed. A dispatch from Pekln says that after the allied troops traversed tho Palape, August 28, the foreign Ministers and Gen erals returned and visited the audienca halls, where they found six Mandarins, Including officials of the Tsung LI Ya mun. The royal apartments and the rooms set apart for the women were not entered. Magnificent marble staircases, costly bronzes and valuable vases were encountered everywhere. The Emperor's throne, situated in a small building, is surrounded -by pedestals on which are caskets containing written wishes to be opened after his death. A special dispatch from Berlin says that Groat Britain and Germany have agreed not to evacuate Pekln until full satisfaction for the recent outrages has been obtablned. THE BfUrtDERED MISSIONARIES. Ninety-three Known to Have Been Killed and X70 Unaccounted tor. SHANGHAI, Sept. S. Saturday. John Goodnow, the United States Consul General here, after Inquiries In every pos sible source, learns that the number of British and American missionaries mur dered during the uprising In China has been 93, while 170 others stationed In Chi Li and Shan SI Provinces are unaccount ed for, and there Is reason for the belief that they have met the same fate. Ot those whose deaths have been absolutely proved, 22 were Americans, 8 men, 8 women and 6 children; 34 were British, 9 men. 35 women and 10 children. There is strong proof that 37 more were killed at Tai Yuen. All the natives from that place tell substantially the same story. Ten men, 13 women and 7 children are known to have been there. The list of missing numbers: Ameri cans, 20 men, 21 women and 20 children, British. 41 men, 49 women and 19 chil dren. It Is impossible to get the numbers ot the Catholics killed, but there were many French Priests and Sisters, and some were in the country where the Rus sians are fighting. There were also sev eral Swedish and Danish Protestants. The massacre and persecution of Chi nese Christians contlnuo everywhere, and It r iaid the anti-foreign leaders Intend Xr exterminate them. Earl Li and minor officials continue to send memorials to the Dowager Em press, thanking her for ridding the coun try of foreigners. All the Information coming from the Interior Is that, except In those parts of the country the troops occupy the people believe that the Em. press has won great victories and driven out the foreigners. It is asserted that they will continue to think so until the foreigners who were compelled to flee art able to return, and conspicuous punlsn ments are inflicted in retaliation for those who were killed. LI Hung Chang yesterday promised Mr. Goodnow that he would telegraph to the local officials of Chi LI to furnish escorts to the treaty ports for all the mission aries who were still there. LI Hung Chang requested Mr. Goodnow to cable to the Department of State at Washing ton that he was greatly pleased with the appointment of his "old friend Foster as a peace commissioner. W. W. Rockhlll, the special commis. sloner of the United States Government, will start for Tien Tsln today. The Japanese, It is announced, will soon land 600 soldiers. There are reports current that the American troops are also to be landed. The United States battle-ship Oregon is expected to arrive tomorrow. JAPANESE "WILL WOT RETIRE. Her Troops Will Continue to Occupy the Chinese Capital. LONDON. Sept. 11, 5 A. M. Lord Sal isbury will return to London Friday, when some fresh developments in the Chinese situation are expected. Beyond Japan's reply, showing her in tention to continue to occupy Pekin, there Is little to throw further light. From Shanghai comes a report that LI Hung Chang has dispatched an urgent telegram to the Empress Dowager at Tai Tuan Fu, announcing the purpose of the allies to advance to Pao Ting u and perhaps even further. The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Standard asserts that evervonp in p. kin is living on "buller beef and hard tack. Akira's Body Found. PEKIN. Aug. 26, via Shanghai. Sept 8.

My appetite was very poor, and If I walked a block or two my strongth was exhausted. I also had catarrh of tho head and throat. I was under treatment at the Copeland Institute but a short time when I noticed an improvement. The pain began to leave, my appetite and strength returned and my head cleared up. I have not felt so well in years as I do now. Mr. A. D. Hosldns, McMlnnville, Or.: I was a great sufferer from rheu matism and catarrh, and It seemed 1 could not be cured.

I had diarrhoea, with awful, cramp-like pains. Food did not dlcest. but caused bloating and great distress. I had lost 35 pounds. I had been treated by no less than 10 physicians, but they could do nothing- for me. Upon the advice of friends, I placed myself under treatment with Drs- Cope land and Montgomery. I- am always pleased to praise these physicians for their excellent and successful treatment of my case.

Labor leaders here have reported to the Central Fed erated Union that they have received a letter from more than 100 representatives of Porto RJcan labor organizations, who have been imprisoned in the municipal prison at San Juan. The letter says that all labor organizations known to exist are being suppressed by the military au thorities. Those now in prison include the presidents, secretaries and members of the arbitration committees of all the labor unions of any consequence in Porto Rico. The labor leaders, in their letter, petition the workmen of the United States to appeal to the Administration at Washington to get the release of these men, and that the organization of labor unions may proceed without persecution. Honduras Will Pay Pears' Claim. NEW YORK, Sept. 10. A special to the Herald from Washington says: There are excellent prospects of an early settlement by Honduras of a claim for Indemnity presented by this Government In behalf of the heirs of Frank Pears, an American who was murdered in February, 1839, by a Honduran soldier. Minister Hun ter has transmitted to the State De partment the findings of a commission appointed by the Honduras Government j FOR J NURSING AND GENERAL SEND FOR "BABIES" A BOOK FOR AOTHERS. cj Mr a. M. Donthlt, posrtoffloe Address Portland: Many years ago I had diph theria, and since that time have been troubled with my ears. There was a con stant discharge from both ears. Some times it was merely a little watery dis charge; at other times it was thick and foul. I had sharp, shooting pains through tho ears and a terrible itching. The ears were dry and scaly. My hearing was very dull. I could not understand the common tones of the voice. At church I could not hear what the minister said unless I wa3 right up in front, I could not hear tho clock tick ex cept when close up to it. There was a. continual buzzing and roaring in my head and a stopped-up feeling. Under the treatment given me at tho Copeland Institute my ears healed and my hearing returned. I will gladly answor any letters, for I am always pleased to recommend the treatment that has done so much for me. Mr. Lecester Snipes, The Dalles. Or.: Mine was a complicated case and oc long standing. One doctor said I had Asthma; another that I had Consumption and could not get well. I had a bad cough, pains In the chest and through the left lung. The air passages seemed con tracted and closed. I was famishing for breath half the night, unable to sleep or rest In bed. Drs. Copeland and Montgom ery cured me after everything: elso had failed. Mr. George e Sauin, Jr., Tualatin, Or.x "I had catarrh all my life. My head wa3 stopped up, throat sore and hearing Im paired. Food was not properly digested, and I felt miserable. Drs. Copeland and Montgomery cured me." FREE TO ALL. INSTITUTE to investigate the murder. The commis sion places the responsibility- upon tho government and recommends a compro mise. The department has referred tho matter to the Pears brothers in Pittsburg, and It is thought possible they will be willing to accept 15000, especially as they have large interests in Honduras.
