of
WASHINGTON, Oct 2. Favorable news
lias reached Washington from the Euro
pean chancellories, Indicating that a com
plete agreement as to China. Is within
eight. The agreement will be on the basis
of the propositions Jala down by Secre
tary Hay in bis note of Jply 8, and the
subsequent notes treatlng0fl thtt subject
The accord of Russia with "the , United
States is morerromprete than was antici
pated at first and the reports show that
nil of the European nations probably are
placing- themselves In position .to take'
advantage of the opening made .by the
"United States, and soon Will- be ready to
begin negotiations for a settlement with
the Chinese Government. The Russians'
already have given notice of such pur
pose, and while the text of the French
note on this subject, referred to in to
day's press dispatches, has not reached
the State Department, the officials are
sitlsfied that It is- correctly reported and
that France, like Russia, Is ready to ne
gotiate at once.
As for Germany, either the position of
that Government has been misunderstood
or it has sustained a change of mind.
Possibly the former is the case, but, how
ever that may be, 'it Is quite certain from
the advices tthlch have reached Wash
ington today that the German Govern
ment, upon careful Inspection of the plans
for a settlement projected by the United
.States, finds therein nothing Inconsistent
with the German aspirations. Therefore,
It may be expected that Germany, too,
will he prepared soon to join in this com
mon movement toward a settlement. It
tnay be stated that altogether the pros
pects of an adjustment of the Chlnefce
difficulties without resort to formal war
ere very much brighter than they were
one week ago.
The new developments of the day were
few, being confined to a cablegram from
Mr. Conger regarding the departure of the
Russian Minister and suite from Pekln,
and an authentication by Minister Wu of
the edict providing for th.e punishment of
Tuan and the guilty Princes. The follow
ing official statement is made as tq Min
ister Wus dispatch:
"A cablegram received from Director
General Sheng, at Shanghai, states that
by imperial edict, issued September 2o,
Prince Chwang, Prince Ylh. Secondary
Princes Tsa.1 Lien and Tsai Ying, are de
prived of all their respective ranks and
offices; that Prince Tuan is deprived of
office and Ib handed over to tho Imperial
Clan Court, which shall consult and de
cide upon a severe penalty, and his salary
Is to be stopped; that Duke Tsal Lien and
tne resident of the Ceasorate, Ying
3Wien, are handed over to the said board,
who shall consult and decide upon a se
vere penalty: and that Kang Yl, Assist
ant Grand Secretary and President of the
civil board, and Cho Shu Chiao, president
of the board of punishment, are handed
over to the board of censors, who shall,
consult ana decide upon a penalty."
A copy of the order Issued by General.

"Tho attention of every officer, soldier
and other person belonging to or con
nected with this -command Is especially
called to the ninth, forty-s'econd, fifty
fourth, fifty-sixth, fifty-seventh, flfty
olghth and sixty-third articles' of war.
Commanding officers of regiments, bat
talions, squadrons, separate companies or
detachments will see to It that the above
mentioned articles of war are read to the
men of each Separate organization by its
Captain or other officer commanding it,
and these officers are expected and re

the lenor and purport of each, as well as
the serJous consequences of disregard or
disobedience of any of their provisions.
In a foreign country the honor of the
TTnlted States and the good repute of Its
armed forces must be maintained un
sullied." The rest of the'order cautions the men
as to the upc of water and food, and in
structs surgeons to enforce sanitary
rules.
Thus far there has been no protest on
the part of this Government against the
appointment of Yung Lru as one of the
Chinese Peace Commissioners. The-State
Department is inclined now to think that
he is not as culpable as the first reports
indicated.
Minister Wu, accompanied by his secre
tary, Mr. Chung, went to Baltimore at 11
o'clock, to visit tho .Maryland Steel
Works, at Sparrow's Point, and witness

FRANCE WANTS PEACE.
STot Seelclnsr Advantage Over Eng
land, or America.
PARIS, Oct. 2.-An official of the
French Foreign Office today formally
confirmed the accuracy of the detallB of
Prance's note to the powers on the Chi
nese question, as telegraphed from Vi
enna last night. A representative of the
Associated Press questioned the official an.
to the causes actuating' the French Min
ister or foreign Affairs in issuing the
note. The official said: "
"M. Del CaBse has been contemplat
ing tills action for a number of days.
France wants peace, and desires it ex
peditiously. The Minister is. therefore,
anxioUB to find a middle course between
Kussia and Germany which will meet
wiu me approval oi an. There is zioA
aounoauon lor th statement thit on-effdrt
Js making to secure Continental accord
to the detriment of England or tho -United
etates. Germany's note, as understood A
nere, presents two propositions, one the
punishment of the guilty, the other- the
peace proceedings. While some people
Interpret this as meaning that the first is
an absolute condition preliminary to the
second, we see no reason why the powers
should not proceed with the treaty pre
liminaries with those appointed emis
saries of the Chinese Government at
Pekln, while the armies seek out and
punish Prince Tuan and his guilty asso
ciates. There is no incompatibility which
will not permit the two actions oc
curring simultaneously. Our hope is for
an agreement to begin negotiations, and
the note expresses M. Del Casse's ideas
of how best that end can be secured. We
feel there Is nothing in It antagonistic to
tne interests of the United States, and
trust we will receive her acquiescence."

(Continued from First Page.)
Jones, chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, Is at the head of tho
cotton-bale trust, and when Mr. Croker,
the leader of tho New York Democracy,
has a large ownership In another. These
facts convict them of Insincerity, and -that
Is all there is about It."
At York an open-air meeting of large
proportions was held, and Governor
Roosevelt made a 15-mlnuto speech.
In Other Nebraska Towns.
NORTH PLATTE, ,Neb Oct 2.-The
train bearing the Roosevelt party made
an extended stop here today. A meet
ing was held at the opera-house. Gov
ernor Roosevelt spoke briefly on the is
sues of the day, saying he did not know
what the paramount issues of the oppo
sition party were. He said ho did not
think the Democratic party was happy
in selecting as an Isue of the campaign
tho dishonor of tho American flag. What
ever the issue might be, ho said, ha was
ready to meet them on It
- At Lexington, Neb., Governor Roose
velt said:
"I have but a moment In which to speak
to you; I want to take advantage of this
first opportunity of arguing a criticism"
or Mr. Bryan and putting a question to
him In 'return. .No question can be asked
mo either about my past record as Gov
ernor or concerning any present Issues
that I am, not 'ready to answer, and I
would like to have similar .frankness from '
our opponents. Last week, at Blair, l'n
this statb, Mr. Bryan spoke of what I
Kadsajd about the ice trust .His speech
was, reported as follows: That if GoV
ernoE.Roose.volt was, right in. this. matter,
tho remedy lies with himself as,,Governqr'
of tho state jn which the trust 'was sup
posed to exist, as he possessed the power
to destroy it
'That -Is hardly correct as a' matter 'of
governmental knowledge. I cannot , call
out the militia to' destroy a 'trust What
can be ddne Is to have the Legislature
pass and the Governor sign a law to do
away with the trust and then have tho
Attorney-General proceed under that law
to enforce It, according to tho best of his
capacity.
"Now. are not these the only things
that Q&XI be done? Well, I have done
them both. In tho first year of. my term
as Governor we passed a very severe anti
trust law, and now the Attorney-General
Is proceeding under that law against the
loe trust The difficulty conies In the
delay caused by the trust counsel, as
they are appealing, as they have a right
to appeal, to every legal technicality, and
are making every effort to stop a de
cision on tho merits of the case. The
people who are responsible for the action
of tho trust's counsel are the stockholders
of the trust who are, among others, Mr.
Richard Croker, the loader of the Demo
cratic party In New York, and Mr. "Van
Wyck, who was my opponent for Gov
ernor of Now York, two years ago, run
ning on an anti-trust platform, and who
lg now one of the biggest stockholders in
the ioo trust
"Mr. Van Wyck was the New York
member of the committee on resolutions
Which drew up the trust platform.
Messrs. Croker and Van Wyck, and thelr
party associates, like Mr. Guggenheimer,
president of the Board Of Aldermen, and
Corporation Counsel Whaler, of New
York, are very severe on trusts In theory;
In practice, they are members of tho
worst trust In the country. The Attorney-General
is now proceeding against
tho Ice trust, and if Mr. Croker. Mr. Van
Wyck and tho associates who are mem
bers of the trust were not employing tho
"best counsel in the state to delay action,
wo" should have had a decision of the
court long ago. The Republican Attorney-General
Is pressing that action under
the law. Introduced by a Democrat, but
passed by a Republican Legislature, and
signed by myself. We are opposed by
Mr. Bryan's ardent supporters In New
York, the heads of the Democratic party
of the state.
''Now. as I have answered that ques
.tlon, I wlh,.Mr. Bryan would enljghten
us on the point as to whether, if he
comes. into office, hg wjll pay the obliga
tions, of the. Nation in gold, or silver. I
will gladly answer any question he. puts,
and I would like him to answer this ques
tion in return. Moreover, I would like to
have him answer If the consent of tho
governed, ho is so insistent upon must
bB had in the Philippines, why it should
not bo insisted upon In North Carolina
as well."
At Kearney, Governor Roosevelt said:
"I noticed the other day, when some
body pointed out to Mr. Bryan that farm
products In Nebraska had advanced 16 to
03 per cent and real estate 25 per cent
and savings bank deposits had Increased
25 per cent, while mortgages had do.
creased 40 per cent, Mr. Bryan responded
that the Republican party always claimed
crodlt for everything Providence did.
Well, I am perfectly willing to admit
there has been a fusion between Provi
dence and the Republican party. By
doing just as the Republican party has
done In the last four years, we assure in
the future a continuance of the same
prosperity which we have seen during
these same four years."
Closing Speech In Plattsmonth.
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., Oct 2. The
demonstration .this evening in honor of.
the advent of Vice-Presidential Candidate
Roosevelt was full of noisy good-nature
and vim. Everybody was out, and the
lighted streets were filled. Fireworks and
torches, trumpets and drums, brass binds
and miscellaneous sounds made speaking
difficult and the Governor made one or
two efforts to start, and then waited for
the noise to subsides A S0-minute speecn,
the 11th since morning, finished the flow
of oratory for the day.

anything approaching Imperialism In this
country, It is the power of the boss of
Tammany. It was under his power that

"By their almost united .voice,- as far as
the electoral vote was, concerned, the
Northern States In 1S96 said: 'We, do not
believe in, adopting a policy that wlll-un-dermlnO
the conndence In this country.
We don't bolleve In the promises made
by Mr. Bryan, nor that- wo need more
money.' We did not need more money.
There was plenty df circulating me
dium with our greit system of
commerce to transact all business
of the day. What we wanted was
simply conndence. Party prejudices,"
party allegiances, were forgotten;
solf-lnterest, self-protection,

sway In tho minds of the majority of
these people. And they put their , foot
down and said: 'Wo will have none of it'
It did not make any difference to them,
and It does not now, whether those prln-v
clples are Republican, Jeffersonlan, Dem
ocratic, or what. AJ1 they want to know
is. does It mean success and prosperity
to ourselves and families?
"They may bring all the demagogues
they command upon the rostrum; they
may attempt to create class prejudice;
they may He till they are black in the
face, but they cannot fool the people.
It is that upon which my confidence
rests: It is that when the intelligent
business interests of this country are fully
aroused with the Importance of tho re
sult of this election, there won't be any
doubt about them,.
"We have been for three years through
very exciting times; but I have not seen
any evidence of any want of confidence.
I have not seen any symptoms in th$
business and commercial circles In this
country denoting any want of confidence.
Ana why? Because avery wvUamt that

C. T. Callahan, of Holygke, state chair

stated -that the committee had thought it
well that the convention, being" on-the
anniversary of the first election of Jef
ferson, should hear the Declaration of In
dependence. The document was read.
Chairman Callahan then addressed tne
convention at 'Considerable length. -
George Fred Williams reported for the
committee on resolutions, and the report
was adopted by acclamatlbn.. . Tho res
olutions indorsed the Kansas City plat
form7as the expression of the ancient
doctrlnos of Democracy, a recurrence to
the fundamental principles proclaimed in
tho Declaration of Independence and em
bodied in the Constitution, and said in
part:
"We insist that the Ideals of a century
ohall not be sacrificed to a sordid com
merclallsm; that tho lofty purposo for
which tho American people made war
upon Spain shall not be degraded, and
that our flag shall not become a mere com
mercial asset. Neither conquest, coloniza
tion nor forcible government are Demo
cratic or American. They have been
forced upon tho United States by a Re
publican Administration, but the Dem
ocracy protosts against their adoption by
tho people. The offenses of Republican
leaders against liberty become" the guilt
of the Nation, If indorsed at the polls.
"We declare the law enacted by the
Republican Congress for the government :
of Porto Rico to be a gross outrago upon
the liberties of the people of that island,
a scheme of despotic rule devised for the
plunder and oppression of the people,
rather than for its Just government. We
maintain that the people of Porto Rico
are entitled to all the rights of American
citizenship, guaranteed by. the Consti
tution to all othor sections of our com
;mon country, and should not bo subjected
to the wrong of .taxation without repre
sentation, against .which our fathers re
volted. To Cuba we owe a free consti
tution, framed by free mon and submitted
to the people of Cuba for their approval,
free from Interference or! Influence by
the United States.
"To "the Philippines wo owe a speedy
restoration of their independence, our aid
.in obtaining a stable government and
our protection of the new nation against
invasion from foreign powers. We pro
test against the slaughter of those who
dare to appear in arms for the defense
of their freedom and against the policy
-which makes servile submission the price

Husband ot the Negro's Vietlm Ap
plied the Match Hanging Con
sidered Too Mild.
WETUMPKA, Ala., Oct 2 Wmflla
Townsend, alias Floyd, a negro, was
burned at the 3take in the little town of
Electric, 15 miles from this place, a half
hour after midnight this morning. Tno
negro's crime was an attempted assault
on Mrs. Lonnle Harrington, whose hus
band set fire to the fuel which reduced
Townsend's body to ashes-
Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, tho
negro, who was a nephew of the negro
I Floyd, haqged a week ago for an attempt-
ea assault, aiiemptea to assault Mrs.
Harrington." Mr. Harrington was at a,
cotton gin In Electric. His homo Is ono
mile out of town. The heftro came1 to 'tho
rhduseand told Mrs- Harrington that her
husband had sent him to get 20 cents from
'her. She told him she had no change.
Then the negro left, but returned In about
10 'minUtes. The woman's scroama wero
heard by Bob NlchoHs, a negro, who waa
pagalng along the "road at the time. Ha
ran to tho house In time to see tha negro
'escabe.
As soon as "Mrs. Harrington was" re
stored to consciousness, Nlcholls gave tha
alarm. The news spread rapidly. All the
stored 'In Electric were Instantly closed
the ginneries arid sawmills shut down;
the people left their wagons in' the road
and their plows in the Holds and gathered
for a pursuit ot the negro. The crowd di
vided, some scouring the woods near tho
scene of the crime and others going to
the penitentiary for bloodhburtds. Tho
dogs were - taken to where the negro's
tracks disappeared, and an exciting cnaso
ensued. The dogs stopped finally at a
tree In front of Odlon's- store, on tho
north outskirts of Electric. The crowd,
coming' up soon, discovered the nogr
sitting on a limb. He was brought down
at once nnd taken to the scene of hla
crime. There he was confronted by hl3
victim, who identified him.
Word was sent to the other searching
parties that the negro had been found,
and about 11 o'clock a crowd of several
hundred was in the ltttlo village. Tho
negro Was taken to the edge of the vil
lage and preparations for his death woro
quickly made. A rope was flung over tho
limb of a big oak and 100 men stood
ready to swing him up.
Then a halt was called, and the manner
of death was discussed by the mob. A
vote was taken, and the balloting showed
a majority of the crowd favored death at
the stake. The stake was prepared, and
the negro was bound to It with chain.
Pine knots were piled about him, and. tho
flames were rtarted by the husband of his
victim. As they leaped to the negro's
flesh he uttered wild cries to God for
mercy and help. The crowd looked on
deaf to his cries, and In an hour the ne
gro was reduced to ashes.
Townsend, before being bound, con
fessed the crime, and said he was also
Implicated with. Alexander Floyd, who
was hanged two weeks ago, for an at
tempted nssault on. Miss Kate Pearson.
He said he and Floyd had planned other
crimes of like character-
