'I THE MORNING OREGOyiAN, WEDNESDAY, '.SEPTEMBER 12, 1900. REPLY m EARL LI United State! Not Yet Ready to Begin Negotiations. HIS CREDENTIALS HOT QUESTIONED Preparations for Withdrawing; . Troops From Pelda Our Soldiers Did Jfot Loot at Tie Tsim. WASHINGTON, Sept. UL The State Department .this afternoon issued the fol lowing: The following communication was ( handed to Acting Secretary -of State Hill this afternoon irom the Chinese Min ister; ., "Cablegram from Earl LI Hung Chang, dated the 7th of September, 1900, trans mitted by the Chinese Minister at St. Petersburg; under date of September V, and received by Minister Wu on the last named date: 'I am in receipt of an Imperial edict of the 30th day of the seventh moon, August 24, 1900, transmitted from Pao Ting Fu. It Is as follows: " 'LI Hung Chang, Envoy Plenipoten tiary, is hereby vested with full discre tionary powers, and he shall promptly deal with whatever questions may re quire attendance. At this distance we will not control his actions. Let this edict be forwarded with extra expedi tlon at the rate of 600 li per-day (to Earl .11) for his information and guidance. Re spect this.' " To the above communication Acting Secretary Hill has handed Mr. Wu the following" replyf "The United States does not feel call ed upon to express any opinion at this time as to the sufficiency of Li 'Hung Chang's authority, but hopes it will transpire that his credentials are full and authoritative, not only for negotiations, "but to enable ilm, without further de lay, to give assurance that the life and property of Americans will henceforth be respected throughout the Chinese Em pire." From this formal statement it appears that the State Department is not yet ready to begin direct negotiations with Id Hung Chang. It does not question his credentials as a plenipotentiary, but simply leaves the matter in abeyance. Probably this is because all of the pow-! ers have "not returned their responses to the Russian note, as it is desired to avoid placing the United States first " among the powers to abandon the hope of harmonious action and strike for It self toward the settlement directly with China. Also, it may be deemed well to wait to hear from Mr. Conger, who, sev eral days ago, was invited to express his opinion about quitting Pekin. Li Wanted Transportation. Minister Wu was twice at the State Department today. It was understood that his first call was in part at least to secure transportation for Li Hung Chang to Taku on a United States vessel. His later call was to receive the an swer of the Department to that appli cation, as well as to the communication respecting Li Hung Chang's functions. The answer returned by the State De partment to the latter communication apparently made It unnecessary at this time to pursue the inquiry as to the chip, for if Earl Li may not enter Into negotiations at present, there Is no oc casion to transport him to Taku. The greatest difficulty which General Chaffee has had to deal with in China at present in the contemplated withdraw al of American troops from Pekin to the Philippine Islands is the demand of the missionaries at Pekin that the Chinese converts be taken from Pekin under the protection of the United States forces and guaranteed protection from assaults in future, or, be brought to places of safety. It was said at the time of rescue of the Ministers that there were about S000 Chinese converts there who have sought protection from the Boxers In the foreign legations. Continued preparations are being made to bring away the United States troops as soon as orders are issued. The trans ports Pennsylvania, Indiana, Sumner and Garonne are ready to go to Taku as soon as General Chaffee starts from Pe kin. One or more of the Regular troop3 also will Tie available. The four ves sels named will carry 3800 troops. The Pak Ling, which arrived at Manila to day with the horses of the First Cav alry; the Port Stephens, now at Manila, and the Athenian, which arrived at Kobe, Japan, today, will be available to bring the horses of the cavalry and ar tillery and mules of the transports from Taku to Manila. Minister Wu made Indignant denial to day of the statement cabled to the Lon don Times by Its correspondent at Pe kin, Dr. 'Morrison, that he and Minis ter Lo Feng Luh at London had pro Tmijgated "shameless lies" and trans mitted bogus imperial edicts, thereby de laying the departure of relief until It was top late. Americans Did Not Loot. The War Department today made pub lic the following telegram: "To Fowler, Che Foo. Send following cablegram to Coolldge, commanding United States forces Tien Tsln; -Keportea. nere extensive looting In Tien Tsln. Report Immediately whether American troops took part. If so, pun ish severely, repress sternly. Absolute re gard for life and property of non-combatants enjoined. ""By order of Secretary of War. "CORBIN." "Che Foo, to Corbin, Washington. Tien Tsin, July 25. Looting by Ameri can troops walled City Tien Tsln un founded and denied. Silver taken from burned mint under direction Colonel Meade, Marine Corps, commanding, who was Invalided today. No property de stroyed except under military exigency. American troops have orders to protect life and property of non-combatants in American southeast quarter of the city assigned them. Will forward reports commahders of American guards in city. "COOLIDOB." Supplementary to the above. Colonel Coolldge also transmitted the reports of Major Waller, of the Marine Corps; Ma jor J. M. Lee, commanding the First Battalion of the Ninth Infantry, and Major Morris C. Foote, commanding Company M, of the Ninth, which latter were the first American troops to enter the city, and also an additional report, signed by himself, all of which bear wit ness that the United States troops had no hand in the looting at Tien Tsln. In deed, all the renorts Indicate that the Chinese themselves were foremost in the j iooung. and that pillaged property cov ered the streets before the allied forces entered the city. The report of Major Foote, while excluding the Americans from any share in the plundering, testi fies that looting was indulged in by the troops of the other nations. The horrible condition of Tien Tsln, when the city wag occupied, was referred to in Major Lee's report. The stench from unburied corpses and refuse Is said to have been terrible, although every thing possible was done by the American forces, at least, to bring order and clean liness out of the chaos and filth that relgnedin the streets of Tien Tsln. THE SITUATION IK PEKIN. Overmasterlnsr Position Assumed by Russia. LONDON, Sept. 12,-The Times pub llrhes this morning additional advices from Its Pekin correspondent Dr. Morri son, under date of August 2L "The censorship, which Is under Gen eral Alrrefi Gaselee's command, makes it difficult" said the correspondent "to convey a true picture of the present sa nation In Pekin, Today the foreign com- munlty was thrilled 'with horror at the news of the massacre of the missionaries at Pao Ting Fu, who were under the pro tection of the imperial troops. Children were butchered before the eyes of their parents, while women were ravished and carried Into captlvityt Parents were tor-J" tured and murdered. Massacres by red Indians never called In, vain for venge ance, yet the troops Temajn here inactive. Their one thought and wish Is to be given work or to be recalled from Pekin. Sure ly the civilized world will not suffer this cruel massacre to remain unavenged and make no effort to ascertain the fate of the poor martyred Celestials and white women. "Since the reliet of the Legations, one feature stands conspicuous the predom inance of Russia and the overmastering position she is now asserting here. The pageant In the Forbidden City, August 2S, was a triumphant entry by Russia, fol lowed by the other powers. Russia did the honors, greatly to the chagrin, of the other Ministers. "Russian troops are pouring into Pekin dairy. Nineteen hundred came yester day and 2SO0 the day before. Already the Russians outnumber the Japanese, and they will soon, outnumber the com bined forces. Their stay is assuming every character kof- permanency. Cos sacks dally raid the country and drive the Chinese peasants through the de serted and dismantled city, setting them to build their military camp No one, not even Claude MacDonald, 1b allowed to enter the Summer palace, and the splendid palace buildings within the im perial domain which are occupied by the Russians without permission. The ex pected arrival of Vlce-Admlral Alexieff, who, it is announced, will remain during the Winter, indicates the importance which Russia attaches to future develop ments. "Russia has occupied Kin Chiu and the branch railway of the Nan Pao col lieries thus securing the possible control of the richest coal mines In Northern China. She will also occupy Shan Hal Kwan. "The British position Is anomalous. The British action of detaining the brigade at Hong Kong has had a, bad effect. The Japanese are openly expressing dlssatls- ' faction that a smaller British force has been sent than was promised. The out look is not promising. It is unaccount able why Japan, to whom belonged the honors of the rescue, should consent con sistently to give way to Russia and ap parently accept Russian predominance. Fortune favors Russia, for Baron Nlshi, formerly Japanese Minister to St. Peters burg, is credited, perhaps unjustly, with being much under the Influence of M. De Glers, and tho appointment of LI Hung Chang to negotiate peace Is grateful tid ings to Russia. "Meanwhile a famine is Inevitable, The government must quicxly make prepara tions If the British troops are to Winter here." France Will Accept Prince Ching. PARIS, Sept. 1L It Is asserted here that should Prince Ching arrive In Pekin properly accredited, France will readily accept him and begin peace negotia tions. Ching Is regarded as being a ca pable man, and well fitted to act as a peace commissioner. The relation be tween he appointments of Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang is rather perplexing, especially in view of the contradlctory advlces, and It Is believed In Paris that the appointment of LI Hung Chang to act in conjunction with Prince Ching is due to tho hope that the powers will leave Pekin and negotiate at Tien Tsln or Shanghai. When it was found that the trbops of the powers are not leav ing the Chinese capital, Prince Ching was named. The French Foreign Office has not received the counter proposition which Italy, according to a dispatch from Rome, has forwarded to the powers. Basis of Peace. PARIS, Sept. 11. A special dispatch from Rdme says that the Italian Min ister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Vls contl Venosta, has addressed to the pow ers a note proposing negotiations with China on the following basis: ., First The evacuation of Pekin as soon, as the peace preliminaries have been signed. Second The participation and support of the powers In enabling China to contract alone to pay the indemnities. Third The maintenance of the Integ rity of the Chinese Empire by the col lective engagement of the powers. The Pao Tina- Fu Expedition. CHE FOO, Sept 8, via Shanghai, Sept 10.

CHICAGO, Sept 11. "I will leave for Indianapolis tomorrow night and If, upon my arrival there' Thursday morn ing, I fall to hear anything from the op erators in New York indicative of their willingness to meet us In conference, I shall immediately -order a strike." - These were tho words of John Mitchell, President of the United Mlneworkers of America, tonight "It is with the greatest reluctance that I take this step," continued Mr. Mitchell, "but nothing else remains for us to do. It Is possible that the operators will, at the last moment agree to arbitrate our difficulties, but I must say the prospect Is not encouraging." Fonr Chlcngro Boats. CHICAGO. Sept 11. Dal Hawkins, the California light-weight gained an eisy victory over Jim Popp, of Canada, in a six-round bout at Tattersalls tonight Hawkins fought a careful battle through out and nearly had his man gone In the last two rounds.

D., Sept ll.-Tho demonstration here tonight In honor of Governor- Roosevelt's arrival was almost unequalled In the history of this. small city. The train arrived at 7 o'clock, 'and the party was driven through the crowd ed streets to a platform which had been erected In one of the principal streets of the town. A torchlight procession and a parade were the features of the evening. In the mounted escort were a number of Indians, clad in their aboriginal costumes. wlth "blankets and feathers and painted facel. After the evening demonstration the special train pulled out for the West, and is to make eight calls tomorrow in the journey through the State of .South Dakota and a part of Iowa. At various stations people assembled In , . ' .JL4 V -, ' , vM --.'?'' , '"-'V - ( Irt - - ' " ' ' Aliib -i ", J . , .- W Willi II. Ilia rj . . N'VT. A SEVERE more or less large crowds to get a glimpse of the Vice-Presidential candi date as he passed. Among the places at which stops were made were Dell Rapids, Madison, Flandereau, Canton and Elk Point, S. D.; Hawarden, N. D., and Ak ron, la. At Sioux Falls considerable of a halt was made. There the Governor left the train and delivered two addresses, one In Auditorium Hall and one in the open air on a platform erected for the accommo dation of those who could not get Into the other meeting. The streets of the City of Sioux Falls were crowded 'with people who had come from distant places to see and hear. The city was decorated with flags and banners, giving the scene a gay appearance, and the carriages ware escorted by marchlnsr clubs and a com pany of mounted cowboys. Roosevelt, In his short" address In the open air, fol lowed substantially the line of argument ithat he had used In some of "his speeches. At the Auditorium he said: "Vermont spoke a week ago, and Ver mont gave the second largest majority she ever gave, even In a Presidential year, for the Republican party, and now Maine has spoken, and we had hoped that we were going to do very well. Our most optimistic prophets had ventured with some misgivings to say that we would get 30,000 majority, but wo have gotten 33,000. You recollect that Oregon spoke some time ago, showing a great gain over four years ago. Our principles have been most triumphant In the furthermost West, and now our banner Is carried aloft In the furthermost East;. From the Atlantic to the Pacific we are going to roll up bigger majorities that will bury, once and for all, the party that stands opposed to "the material prosperity of tho country at- home and to the honor of the flag abroad." At Flandrean. FLANDRBAU, S. D Sept. 11. When the train bearing Governor Roosevelt westward arrived here today, a large crowd was assembled at the station. Gov- form and congratulate the country that ernor Roosevelt appeared at the rear ; the Republicans have established by leg platform of his private car, and-was In- ; islatlon the gold standard and on the troduced by General Grfgsby, pf this i prosperity during the administration of state. Colonel Roosevelt said In part: President McKlnlev. n.tid rnmmfl th "I know I do not have to make an ap peal that you stand by the Nation and the flag, and that you do not flinch from your duty in the face of the world. You men who built up what but 25 years ago was called the far West have built up this country. You who have filled this land with prosperous home3 and smiling fields are not afraid of seeing this Na tion do Its work. You and the men of the Grand Army, you men who passed through the great war, as you look back into your life, what are the four years that you are . especially anxious to hand on as a heritage of honor and as a mem ory to your sonsT Are not they the four years that you served In the army In the Civil War? (Applause.) That Is so. Wo are proud of America because of what has been done In the past year by Americans. We have proved our selves worthy of our existence as a Na tion. Why are you here today?' It Is because you .have t-xpanded. Yoi re.--lect In 1890, only 10 years ago, when the Ogallala outbreak occurred between here and the Black Hills, you put thy regulars here until that was suppressed. Did you feel that you were imperialists when you did It? They were Just exactly 'as much Imperialists then as the men who are fighting in the Philippines are now. If Judge Taft and his associates and Gen eral MacArthur and General Wheaton and his associates are imperialists, then ever' Indian agent and every officer on any reservation In these states is an imperialist now." At Mndlson. MADISON, S. D Sept. 11. The special train bearing Governor Roosevelt was greeted by a large assembly here. Gov- ernor Roosevelt and party in carriages were escorted to the opera-nouse, where tauauEma uuu oeen moua lor & oner f speech. The opera-house was filled, -to overflowing. Governor Roosevelt . said In parti "In ,the days of the Civil War we knovf, how our people were asked to vote as' they fought. South Dakota has been represented in the Philippines by men who not only cast reflected honor upon South Dakota, but upon, all the Nation". I ask, In this campaign, that South Da kota vote the way her men shot In , "the Philippines, and not the way one of her Senators has talked. "You cannot get prosperity by any cheap patent device. If tho hand of fate or Providence Is heavy upon us, It is not in human power even to achieve pros perity. I have seen many a good man go down In a struggle. Even if fate favors us we cannot bring prosperity to the thriftless. Each one of us at times slips, each one of us at times needs to have a helping stretched out to him. Remember when ever a man slips to help him on his feet. You cannot carry him. If he wants to be carried It shows that he is not worth carrying. He can. walk himself.

An overflow meeting was afterward addressed in the open air for 10 minutes by the Governor, and large numbers of people were unable to hear him. A number of excursion trains from adolning towns brought in hundreds of people to the city to iiartlclpate In the welcome to the New York Executive.

Claims ag gregating 52,300,000 or more have arisen in connection with the efforts made In Hawaii to prevent the bubonic plague from securing a foothold In this country and Its outlying possession by burning down a considerable part of the Japan ese and Chinese quarters where it was thought the disease might find lodgtngi Two Japanese residents are said to have lost their lives, furniture and practically all belongings.

HANNA TELLS OF DANGER. Republicans May Lose the Election fcy Over-Confidence. CHICAGO, Sept 11. Senator Hanna, at a dinner at the Hamilton Club tonight In honor of Senator Mason, talked frankly of the danger of. over-confidence on the part of the Republicans, and declared with all possible emphasis that everything that Republicans and patriotic Democrats fought for four years ago is at stake in the present campaign. The silver ques tion, and not Imperialism, he asserted, is the paramount issue. Senator Hanna said In part: "In return for the courage that you have put into my heart at this meeting, I want to give you a little advice. I have .not restrained the expression that I be lieve there are elements of danger In this campaign, principal among whidh is the over-confidence of the Republicans of the United States. Is it any wonder that men who have lived during flip last four years. In comparison with those four preced ing should feel comfortable? Is It any wonder that we should have faith in our 'institutions, in our country and in our selves, after the years of McKlnley'3 Ad ministration? "But I want to suggest that this Is no time to enjoy comfort, but rather to make ourselves ready for tho work which is be fore us, which is of more importance than that of four years ago. Ve can prove that by ourselves. Every man's condi tion can be compared by himself. His environment and his observation are ob ject lessons, and If we expect a contin uance of these conditions we must feel and act that our full duty cannot be transferred upon the shoulders of our neighbors, "It Is to such organizations as the Ham ilton Club and kindred clubs that I look to for the opening of the campaign which shall put fire Into it, furnish work for it; and It is only by those methods that we are entitled to win tho victory. , I say that there is an apathetic condition, and has Jbeen. Gentlemen, I ask you from this .night to begin active operations in Chi .cago. Thi3 is a good field to work In, and I have come here to join you shoul der to shoulder to carry the State of Il linois (applause, and cries of "Good"), and we will do t There are Republican votes enough in all the Middle West be yond doubt to carry every state for Will iam; McKinley, but they must be brought to the polls on election day. . "I would have been glad to have brought you encouraging word from the East, but I have" found the same conditions there. and I am not afraid to talk about it And when I go back to the Eas I want to take back encouraging worjls to them that the West Is awake and at work. "I contend that the main Issue in this campaign is free silver, and every col lateral issue that has1 been injected in this campaign has been for the purpose of throwing dust In the eyes of our word ing people, and as manager of this cam paign I propose that they shall not hide this question." After explaining that if Mr. Bryan was elected the Senate would have a majority in favor of free sliver, Mr. Hanna con cluded by saying: "I want every man to expect to be called upon for his services' In thla cam paign, and to know the facts. I don't want any sentimental Idea that we nre all right, anyhow. Therefore. T say to the Republicans of the West, there Is al ways danger until tho ballots are count ed, and there Is danger now, and we -must meet it." (Applause.) THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. Cincinnati.

Yesterday's Winners at the Grand Circuit Meeting-. NEW YORK, Sept. 11. The second day of tho Grand Circuit meeting at the Em pire City track had a first-class card, which resulted In .fast time and sensa tional racing. The weather was perfect and the track excellent. Speculation was lively and heavy. Nine started in the 2:30 trot and the chestnut horse. Major Greene, was at once made the favorite at 100 to 50. The race was never in doubt as the favor ite won In three straight heats, with quite a little In hand. In the first heat, the brown gelding, Tiverton, was a good second, though it was his first race, while Dolly BIdwell was a close second In the other two. The keenest race of the day was the 2:09 pace, for which the bay gelding. Harry O., was so hot a choice that he sold as a strong favorite over a strong field of seven. He won the first and sec ond heats In dlose and whipping finishes. Fanny Dlllard then slashed to the front with a couple. The fifth heat looked as If It woud decide the race, as Harry O. appeared to be winning In the stretch, but in a cracking finish Will Leyburn won by half a length. In the sixth heat, Fanny Dlllard led a tired party home In 2:09 by a length. The 2:05 pace had only four starters, and Frank Bogash sold at 100 to 50. in spite of the high reputation of the black gelding. Connor. This was a race which finished In three heats, each heat being a race. Connor won the first heat in the sensational time of 2:034.

M. When arraigned In court this morning, the man gave his name as C. E. Edwards, stating that the woman was his wife, and that he had lost a good position in the Idaho mines.
