DENIED IN. GERMANY
No "Agreement With France
and Russia
FOR -RETENTION OF TROOPS
Her Demand for the Punishment of
the Instigators of the Outrages
Is Not Abandoned.
.BERLIN, Oct, L-The statement pub
lished In Paris that France, Russia and
Germany have arrived at a complete un
derstanding in regard to the retention of
troops at Pekinr and that Germany aban
dons her demand for the punishment of
the lnstlg-ators of the outrages before the
peace negotiations begin, is denied here
officially. A Foreign Office official made
the following statement on the subject:
"The tpry M inaccurate, particularly
the intimation tijat Germany,, Russia and
France have formed a separate diplo
matic group. Negotiations between these
powers continue as with the others. Ger
many does not expect Great Britain's an
swer to her proposal lor several days."
The semiofficial press formally discred
its the applications, but a -well-informed
diplomat assured the Associated Press
correspondent this evening that he had
excellent reasons "for believing them to
be true, especially as the German Foreign
Office had Itself admitted that Russia
has dropped all intentions of withdrawing
from Pekln. The Berliner Post denies
that the French, Russian and American
officers "have refused to obey Count von
"Waldersee until hostilities are resumed.
The Foreign Office is unable to confirm
the reports of the degradation of Tuan,
but the admission is made that there has
been an improvement in the disposition
of China toward foreigners. This change
the Berliner PoBt attributes to Count von
"Waldersee's arrival. The Shanghai corre
spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung and
the correspondent of the Xokal Anzelger
confirm the Issuance of imperial orders
degrading Prince Tuan, but the Lokal
Anzelger adds that the edicts are re
garded as a sham by foreign circles in
Shanghai.
The Berliner Post has a long article
which tends to exonerate the Chinese
Government from responsibility for the
atrocities, and makes concessions in favor
of the Emperor, Empress Regent and the
Mandarins, which are somewhat surpris
ing when coming from a journal that has
all along supported the German note.
The article says: "No doubt the Chinese
Government was forced by considerations
of self-preservation to yield to the all
powerful Boxers. So great was their
hatred against foreigners that the Gov
ernment feared annihilation if it re
sisted."
The papers generally do not discuss
Emperor Jxwang Hsu's letter to Emperor
"William, although the X-okal Anzelger
remarks that neither Germany nor the
other powers will be so easily satisfied.
An army order just Issued shows that
4 Germany does not intend at present to
reinforce her troops In China, .but she
will be prepared for all eventualities.
The Berliner Tageblatt accepts as true
the Intimation that the antl- British-East
Asiatic triple alliance of 1S95 has been
re-established.
2fEW CHINESE COMMISSION.
Minister Conner Advised of Prince
Chinsr's Associates.
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Several Import
ant dispatches were received today from
China. Generally they tend to , confirm
the events recorded Saturday, From Can
ton, Consul McWade reports the issue
of the decree punishing Tuan and his col
leagues, so that there Is no longer doubt
as to the accuracy of Sheng's statement
on that point.
Mr. Conger also has received notifica
tion of the Chinese peace commission,
which was forecasted by Minister Wus
advices several days ago. Mr. Conger
made no reference to the condemnatory
decree, hence it is inferred that it was
not Issued when his dispatch was aent
last Thursday,
The text of these two dispatches is as
follows:
"Canton, Oct 1. Secretary of State,
Washington. Decrees just issued. Em
peror blames Ministers for whole trouble.
Orders Tuan, Kang Tl and other officials
degraded and punished by imperial court,
Emperor holds Tuan and others entirely
responsible lor bloodshed.
"McWADE."
"Pekln, Sept. 27, via Taku, Sept, 30.
Secretary of State, Washington Have re
ceived notice today from Prince Ching
that he. Earl LI. Tung Lu and Viceroys
Liu Kun Yl and Chang Chip Tung will
act in concert in negotiations lor peace.
Tung Lu is In the interior, Li Hung
Chang is at Tlen Tsln. CONGER."
The attention of the officials of the
Navy being called to report from Tien
Tsln that the United States is about to
take part in a naval expedition organ
izing at Taku for operations against Shan
Hal Kwan, It was stated that this prob
ably referred to an old project. Some time
ago, while hostilities were in full prog
ress, a movement against Shan Hal Kwan
was projected to divert the Chinese from
their resistance to the Pekln .relief expe
dition. With the fall of Pekln the ne
cessity lor such a movement has expired.
It is regarded as unlikely that the United
States forces will take part In It, If t
is revived by any of the powers.
The War Department Is in receipt of a
cablegram from Chaffee indicating that he
had received instructions to withdraw
most of the United States forces from
China and had provided in accordance
with those instructions for a legation
guard. The dispatch follows:
"Received September 30, via Taku, Adjutant-General,
Washington, September
2$, 30 cabled from Tlen Tsln.- Received
your numbers 42 and 43. Tenth Infantry,
Third Squadron of the Sixth Cavalry and
Light Battery will constitute legation
guard. Shall endeavor to get all supplies
to Tong Chow before water falls.
"CHAFFEE.,"
Dispatches numbers 42 and 43 referred
to by General Chaffee were those contain
ing his instructions to withdraw the
American troops from Pekln.
Mr. Wu, the Chinese Minister, has re
ceived official confirmation of the Issuance
of an Imperial decree degrading Prince
Tuan, Tang Yl and other officials for
their course in regard to the recent trou
bles in China. This information agrees
with that contained in the dispatch re
ceived from Consul McWade. The Min
ister has heard nothing of the designation
of officials reported by Minister Conger
to act in concert in the peace negotia
tions, but he has no doubt it is correct.
STORIES OF REFUGEES.
Missionaries Recount Their Expe
riences in Siege of Fekin.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct L The passen
gers on the steamer Coptic, which arrived
from China last night, were released from
quarantine this afternoon. Among the
passengers were 26 who passed through
the siege of Pekln, These include MlbS
M. E. Andrews, F. M. Chapin, wife and
three children; Miss Douw, Miss Dud
geon, C. H, Fenn, wife and two chil
dren; Dr. J. H. Ingram, wife, and two
children? C. H. Oliver and two sons;
Mi'ss Cecil E. Payne, W. F. G. Squlers,
Mrs. M S. Woodward and daughter and
Dr. W. G. Brecker. All tell Interesting
stories of the incidents of the siege of
Pekln. Miss M 15. Andrews, of Cleve
land, O.. "who is one of the best-known
women missionaries in China, having
spent 32 years in church and school work
there, told an interesting story of her ex
periences during the Boxer uprising. She
said:
''At Tung -Chou, where I was stationed,
we had for years heard "warnings and
threats of antl-lorelgn and' anti-Christian
uprisings. We grew accustomed, to such
threats, and thought-nothing would,' eye
come of this bluster of the antl-forplgn
element, so that when the Boxer cartoons
and literature reached Tung Chou we
were not greatly disturbed, thinking the
agitation would die out as It had in past
years. Then came news of conflict and
murder, and at night we could see the
sky red with the light of incendiary fires.
Alarmed -at this, we decided to hurry to
Pekin.
"Tung Chou is a Christian educational
penter. The North China Mission pf the
American Board had its seminary there.
Besides this, there were the chapel and
dwellings of the missionaries,
"During the siege we did not suffer very
great, hardships. There was enough food,
such as it was, and while we were some
what crowded, we were so happy in being
away from the fury of the mob that we
could not complain. Our converts wh&
were given shelter at the legation proved
to be yery helpful during he siege. They
helped build and strengthen the fortifica
tions, and took a great deal of work from
the shoujders of our men. But for them
I do hot think the siege would have ended
so happily, for without their aid we dia
not have the strength to do all the needed
hwork. They deserve praise for their loy
alty.
"A very sad Incident occurred when
we left Pekln on our way out of China.
T?e passed Tung Chou, the scene of so
much of our .work. The mission church
and seminary had been burned to the
ground. -We were told they were set afire
the morning after we fled to Pekln. The
trip through the devastated country was
very painful to me. I had been in China
so long and had grown to know the peo
ple so well that I could never have be
lieved such things could happen. There
was a terrible loss of life and property.
I am going back to China within a year,
I hope. That land has been the scene of
my life's work, and I believe It Is my
duty to continue my labors there."
Mrs. F. M. Chapin, who, with her hus
band, fled from Tung Chou to Pekln,
said:
"After leaving the Methodist Mission,
where we stopped for a few days upon
reaching Pekin, we entered the British
legation without serious difficulty. Once
inside, the walls erased in around us ana
shut off all sight of the dramatic scene
without. We' women did not dare indulge
our curiosity by a single glimpse of the
street. At night we could sometimes seu
the glare of fires in the sky. and the
noise without was often painfully dis
tinct. Very soon after the siege began
we commenced to eat mule and horse
meat Of course, we did not oat the meat
with zest, but very little went a long
way. But as we had plenty of rice and
bread, there was never any actual pri
vation. The bread was made of flour
ground within the legation grounds from
whole wheat It was cparse, but nourish
ing. There was never a day during the
siege that we did not have sufficient food
We had 30 sheep within, the enclosure,
which we reserved for the Invalids. Ir
the healthy people sometimes felt a long,
lng for a nibble of mutton, they never
admitted It"
Miss Rutherford. In telling of her ex
periences in Pekln, said: . ,
"I passed 10 weeks of the greatest sus
pense. .If It. were-possible for suspense
to become monotonous, It certainly would
have become so In that lencth of time.
We women did not have the excitement
which fell to the share of the men to
keep our courage up. We could only lis
ten and wonder what would happen next.
We were eager for work to do, and anv
thlng that had to be done was well and
promptly done, you may be sure.".
Miss Gqwans. a polite and attractive
member of the missionary party, Is highly
disgusted with the foreign Ministers In
Pekln.
"Why," said Miss Gowans, with fire
in her eye, "I do believe there "would have
been no uprising if those men had tried
half as hard to keep down the Boxers as
they did to keep their offices. My pplnlon
is that the Ministers are too interested
personally in China to want to bring af
fairs to a peaceful termination within a
reasonable tfmo. Had they tried, they
could have averted the entire misfor
tune." POMTIOAIi SIDE OF IT.
Salisbury Has No Desire to Offend
j Germany.
NEW YORK, Oot 1. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain Is playing international
politics In connection with the German
proposal that the surrrender of responsi
ble authors of antl-foreljrn outrages be
made a condition precedent to negotia
tions with the Chinese Government Well
informed diplomats nere believe that she
has delayed her reply to learn the char
acter of those of other powers, and its
effect upon the Chinese.
Lord Salisbury has no desire to offend
Germany. Her attitude during the war Jn
South Africa has not been overlooked, nor
does Great Britain forget in view of the
independent attitude of the United States.,
that it may be necessary for England to
co-operate with Germany to prevent Rus
sia and France from obtaining larger
slices of China than herself In case of
partition. So it is understood here that
Lord Salisbury has believed It politic
to give long consideration to the German
proposal, and that the degradation of
Prince Tuan and other Princes by the
Imperial Government of China will prob
ably be the loophole through whfch he will
crawl.
So far as this Government has been.
Informed, Germany has not modified her
proposal, though It Is likely that she wilj
do .so In view of the objections of the
United States, Russia, France and Japan
It is said in official circles that this. Gov
ernment contemplates making no repre
sentation respecting partition such as
seems to be anticipated in Pekin. Though
it is feared that partition will be the only
solution of the situation, the authorities
are encouraged by the change In the atti
tude of the Chinese Government to make
renewed efforts to effect a settlement
which will preserve the territorial en
tity of the emphe.
A diplomat observed last night that none
of the powers could In honor agree to
the dismemberment of China, because they
had In explicit terms announced that
their purpose was the maintenance of the
territorial integrity of the empire. What
the officials fear, however, js tnat count
von "Waldersee, anxious to gain military
laurels, will find In the situation a reason
for offensive operations, giving a pretext
for Russia to make permanent her occu
pation of northern China. Once this Is
done the division of the remainder of
the territory nmong European powers and
Japan will be precipitated.

reports of the annexation of Manchuria
are devoid of all foundation.

veltsaid: '
"I noticed the other day that Mr. Bryan
said that the Republican party had no
right to claim the benefit 'of the fact-that
pork and wheat and corn had gone up.
The Republican party said four years ago.

At Tecumseh the meotlng was held In
the Courthouse square. Governor Roose
velt said In part: "
"I ask you to see to It that the men In
Washington do not undo the work done
by your sons and brothers In the Philip
pines. Your Governor has recently spoken
of the soldiers of the regular Army as
tifteen-dollars-a-month hirelings. I have
fought beside thpge 'hirelings' at Santiago,
I saw the First, the Third and Sixth
white Cavalry and the Nln,th and Tenth
colored cavalry go up the hill. I saty
them leave behind thqm 200 dead and
wounded hirelings, 300 men who shed their
blood for the honor of the flag, 300 men
who died that we mgh.t be proud that
their country still held In honor the flag,
and the reward Is that these men should
be sneered at as hirelings. When you.
sent your regiment to the Philippines, Its
Colonel died. He came from the regular
Army. It was Colonel Stotsenberg who
wrote a new name on the honor roll of
American history, who conferred honor
not only on your ptate, but on all the Na
tion. Is he to -be referred to as only a
'hireling' ? It is but p. 'few weeks, since
Mr. Bryan himself Bpoke of our sqldlers
as a hundred thousand men walking In
Idleness. The men who were In the Phil
ippines, who stayed, -no longer walk about
In Idleness. General La;yton no longer
walks about In idleness, nor does Llgcum
nor Rellly, TVho died at Ten Tsln. They
have found their rest Vere their com
rades from 1S61 to 1865, wh,o gaye,, their,
lives for their flag, have found, rest ,Woe
to the country that has- lost Its capacity
to appreciate the eaqrlflce pf the-1 gallant
souls who do and dare and die for its honor
and its glory. Of all ungenerous actions,
the most ungenerous is to deny the proper
merit of honor to the soldier, whether
volunteers, like yourselves, or regulars, as
Colonel Stotsenberg was. Woe to the na
tion which refuses to give the' proper

Mr. Bryan spoke here for about an hour,
discussing a,t some length most of the
issues of tho campaign, He referred 1o
the campaign ,of 1S9S, saying that the
members of tho Democratic party had
been abused to an unlimited extent In
tha,f campaign, but that, notwithstanding
this abuse, when two years afterwards
there .was a call to, arms, It was found
that. those who two years bpfoje had
been denounced as anarchists were bravo
men and, good soldiers. If, he said, he
had been President and had done what
Mr. McKlnley had done, not ope Republi
can out of a hupdred would have com
mended him,' He could only account for
this upon the ground of partisanship, and
hq appealed to his hearers no longer to be
controlled by blind adherence to party.
He wanted them to read their Bibles,
where they would learn that "whom the
Lord loveth ho chastlsethV' In this con
nection, he remarked that, 'notwithstand
ing the "good times," the sale of Bibles
last year had been smaller than in the
average year.
Tho Republicans were, he said, spend
ing niore time In defending the "good
trusts" than In denouncing the bad ones.
"The only way," he said, "of distinguish
ing a good trust from a bad one, ac
cording to tho Republican Idea, Is to
go to the trust for a campaign contribu
tion; if the trust gives liberally. It Is
good;. if it glyes stingily, it Is foad," He
said the Republicans know nothing about
anything but the ice trust. On this point,
he said:
"Not one of you J3 hurt by the ice trust.
Every one of you la hurt by the sugar
trust, the lumber trust, the salt trust;
you are hurt when clothing goes up,

and In all thesp things you are hurt, and
yot none of you know anything about
any but the ice trust,-because the Re
publican papers dp not keep you informed
as to what is going on on the trust
question." .
Mr. Bryan said he felt about the trusts
as a ,man had said he felt about bed
,bugs that ha-,had no objection to them,
but did not like tho way they ,-made a
living. In this connection. Mr. Brvan

At West Superior.
DULUTH, Minn., Oct. J. When .Mr.
Bryan returned to his train this morn
ing from West Superior, Wis,, where
vho had spent the night, "he round the
tram eiaooraieiy aecoratea. , xnp Min
nesota committee had placed a picture of
the Democratic candidate In "place of the
headlight on the locomotive, while bunt
ing fluttered from almost every available
spot on the train. There was a motto In
large letters strung along the cars in
scribed "The 'Republic Forever: an Em
pire, Never." The '"Words "Bryan for
President, Llpd for Governor," wre also
prominently displayed.
The first speech of the day was deliv
ered from the veranda of the hotel in
West Superior. Mr. Bryaji spoke ' for
half an hour to a large audience. His
speech dealt largely with the trust ques
tion, and he made especla.1 reference to
a combination 'of the flour Interests. Mr.
Bryan quoted the following remark from
a speech made by President McKlnley in
1S94, In which he attacked the Democratic
party;
"They were the enemies of the trust
when they wanted the votos of the people
in 1892, and 'when they got the power to
deal a blow at trusts, according to the
testimony of their own members, they
became the willing' tools of the. most gi
gantic trust of the' country."
Remarking upon this question, Mr.
Bryan said;
."Mr. McKlnJoy complains that the Dem
ocrats did not destroy the trusts when
they had an opportunity, and yet Mr.
McKlnley has been President for three
and a' half years and duripg that time
more trusts have been organized than in
all the history of the country, and he
has allpwed three sessions of Congress
to convene and adjourn and did not rec
ommend a single measure for the destruc
tion of the trusts. He selected an Attorney-General
from New Jersey, where
most of the trusts have done their busi
ness, and the Attorney-General draws his
salary for not Interfering with the trusts.
The Attorney-Qeneral of the State of
Nebraska, a Democrat elected on the
fusion ticket, has brought more suits in
Nebraska against the trusts than the Re
publican Attorney-General of the United
States has brought against the trusts ot
the United States,"
At Pujutht -
At Duluth, Mr. Bryan spoke In. the
Armory. He said he could hope to add
nothing to the arguments which had been
made here by the Hon. Charles A. Towne,
who resides here. "If he cannot warn
you sufficiently against the dangers that
threaten you," he said, "you would not
believe, though one rose from the' dead.'
Mr. Bryan first adverted to what he
charaoterlzed as tho Republican fqndness
for the financial question as a paramount
issue, but said the party was being' driven
from that position and some were tak
ing refuge in the tariff question. He
believed that they would also b.e driven
from that position before the close of the
political campaign. Referring to te
trusts, Mr. Bryan said that there could
ibe no good monopoly Jn private hands.
HeVeferred to Senator HannaB declara
tion that if the trusts should prove dan
gerous, the Republican party would lake
care of them. "What a consolation!" he
exclaimed, ''to know that Mr. Hanna
has his arms 'around you and will pro
tect ypu frdm the trusts 1" In this con
nection, he referred to the closing of the
-flouring mills- in this city, saying:
"They have allowed the trusts to close
mills. Whenever a mill was closed under
Demoora.tlo Administration, -the Republl-
r cans salcf a low tariff 4ld It, and. appealed
to the people to puc up a imgn- tariff, ana
yet whenever a trust closes five qr six
hlll0 fn.nB town, there la not one Re
publican who has the courage to denounce
the trust that does it
Speaking of the agricultural interest,
ho said, that the Republican party haa
proposed no remedies for the evils en
compassing that industry. It did not. for
instance, take a mathematician to dem
onstrate that there could be more money
with two metals .than with one. The Pres
ident's letter of acceptance -would Indi
cate that the Republican party has ac
cepted the quantitative theory ot money,
but the Republican party distinguished
between real money and submoney. It
was all right with them to expand the
volume of bank circulation, but not to
coin silver.
' Mr. "Bryan discussed the questions ot.
militarism, and expansion, and, referring
to a recent speech by Senator Davis,
said:
"Speaking of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, it Is rather interesting to read
that when a distinguished Republican
made a speech in this city not long ago
and mentioned the Declaration of Inde
pendence, the Republican papers said
laughter.' Laughter In a Republican aud
ience when lie mentioned the Declaration
pf Independence! There was a time when
ft was not a subject for laughter. There
wa3 a time when that Declaration of In
dependence meant tho blood of our fore
fathers, and If you had the spirit of
our forefathers there would be no laugh
ter when the Declaration, of Independence
was mentioned."
At West Duluth.
CARLETON, Minn.. Oct L-r-Mr. Bryan
spoke at West Duluth for 10 minutes,
saying the Republican party had reached
the point at which they wanted not only
to revise the' Constitution, but also the
ten commandments, so as to make ono
of them read: "Thou shalt not steal on
a small scale," Instead, of having, as
Lincoln wanted, a Government ot the
people, for the people and by the people,
the Republicans would have it a Gov
ernment of the syndicates, fpr the syn
dicates and by the syndicates.
At Carleton he spoke for over 10 min
utes, and went over the general ground
pf the campaign. He said he was. not
asking support of those who expected to
get something for nothing. He did not
want the support of those whq were look
ing for army contracts or who expected
to get life pensions tor their sons. Not
more than one man In 10 he addressed, he
said, was really benefited by the Repub
lican policy, but that was one expecting
to make the campaign contributions and
get his money out of the other nine.
People who wanted colonies could get
them by voting the -Republican ticket,
but they would soon find tney nad gotten
all the evils that go wth ft colonial sys
tem. At St. Paul.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 1. The Auditor
ium, in which Mr. Bryan spoke here, was
crowded to the very dome. It la a large
building, said to hold S000 people. Before
proceeding with' his speech, Mr. Bryan
was presented with a "Life of Abraham
Lincoln," by F. G. McGhqe. a colored
man, on behalf of the Colored Men's
League. In responding to tflls presenta
tion, Mr. Bryan said:
"If Lincoln were alive, he would be the"
recipient of your devotion, but you have
announced your abandonment of the Re
publican party. You have learned that
the negro's position in our philosophy
docs not depend upon the friendship of
any particular p'arty, but upon the In
tellectual development and moral worth
of the Individual. I congratulate you
upon the advancement made by your peo
ple, and I am glad to know that so many
of them are determined to study public
questions and vote according to their con
victions. The Republican party had long
regarded them as political cattle; but
certainly you have repaid the present Re
publican leaders for all that they have
done for your sake. So far as offices are
concerned, you have, bestowed Presi
dencies upon, the Republican party and
recefved .-janltqrshins-,in return. .So far
as legislation Is conperned, you have Been
the victims of the same vicious policies
which have Injured the white man.1'
Qontlnulng, Mr. Bryan discussed the
prptectlvo 'tariff, the law establishing a
gold standard, the proposed Income tax,
militarism and imperialism, all as affect
ing the colored man, and then, after re
ferring to the perplexities of the race
question and uttering a warning not to
make ,the problem more difficult by
bringing In the Filipino, Mr. Bryan said:
"I appreciate the support promised by
your club. If by the suffrages of my
countrymen I become President of the
United States, you may rest assured that
the rights of the citizens of this country,
regardless of color, creed or condition,
will be protected as far as the Executive
has power to protect them.
Mr. Bryan's reply to the presentation
was heartily applauded. Continuing his
speech, he talked of trusts at length, and
discussed militarism and Imperialism at
greater length than In his brief reply to
the colored men.
At Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1. Mr. Bryan ad
dressed two Immense audiences, the flr3t
an overflow meeting outside the Exposi
tion building, and the sepond a meeting
which completely filled that building. The
last was the largest audience of the day.
Mr. Bryan reached'the hall at 9:20 o'clock
In the evening He had been expected to
speak first to the people on the inside,
but, hearing of the number waiting who
were not able to get In, he Insisted on
first addressing them. When the Insjde
protested, Mr. Bryan chlded them, saying
.that they who were seated could better
afford to wait than could tjiosp who were
standing on the streels. He was received
with a cheer when he appeared, and his
brief speech was enthusiastically re
ceived. He talked concerning the Philip
pine question.
