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.

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

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.

It r iaid the anti-foreign leaders Intend

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

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 feel better now
than I have In a long time. I am al-
I ways glad to. recommend the Copeland
treatment, for It brought me a cure.
Mr. Al Thornton, Vancouver,
Wash.:. For 20 years I suffered with my
head and stomach. I "was bloated with
gas, had soreness and pain In the stom
ach and heart, palpitation. I was weak
and 'unfit for work. The Copeland phy
islclans cured me thoroughly and perma
nently. HOME TREATMENT No

Mr. J. Martin, Oregon City, Or.:
When I began treatment at the Copeland
Institute I had little hopes of a cure. My
stQmach and bowels were In a terrible
condition. 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. They cured me.

Labor Troubles In Porto Hico.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10. 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

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."

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.
Electricity Is now acknowledged by tho
brightest men In the world to be superior
to all other treatments In restoring vital
ity. Vitality Is health, or the basis- of
health, and you must have it to remain
free from disease.
Lack of vitality causes nervousne33
dyspepsia, indigestion, rheumatic pains,
lumbago, kidney troubles and general
want of energy. Those who have such
symptoms can become healthy by renew
ing the electrical force in the body.
