tf6'r1'; THE MORN-EKS 0BEG8NAN tWEDff ESDAY, ' OCTOBER1 10, 1900. CONGER HAS A LIST More High Chinese Marked for Punishment CABINET CONSIDERS FRENCH INOTC Special Envoy Kay Be Seat',, to Slnaa. Pa to Induce tfae Cortto Seturn. "WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. The Cabinet meeting today, which occupied about two and a half hours, was devofed almost exclusively to a discussion of the Chinese situation. Special- consideration was given to the French note, and It is -understood that a more or less definite conclusion was reached as to the nature of tms Government's reply, but it has not yet been put in diplomatic form. Its purport "Will not be made public for the present It developed today that Mr. Conger, In compliance with a suggestion from Secre tary Hay, had submitted to the State De partment a list of 10 -or 12 names of UM uese officials who wefe prominent in the Borer movement against the foreigners and in a great measure were responsible ior the assaults upon the Legations in "Pekln. These officiate, Mr. Conger be lieves, should be included with .Prince Tuan and others in any punishments -which are to be Inflicted upon those wbo took a prominent part in the Pekin out rages. It Is not -unlikely that the position of this Government In regard to the punishment of these officials will be stated In reply to the French note. Neither diplomatically nor from a mili tary point of view has there been any change In the Chinese situation since the Teception of the French note. It is con ceded that the -failure of the effort to In duce the Chinese court to return to Pekln has done much to retard the peace nego tiations, although these are still possible If the authority conferred upon LT Hung Chang and Prince Chlng is sufficient. General Chaffee continues to execute trie programme for the withdrawal of the military force already outlined, and he has notified the "War Department that he will have all his men, except the Legation Guard, outside of China In a fortnight. The American troops will take no further part In any military operations In China, unless .they are attacked, w'hlch Is not believed to be probable. The offi cials discredit the Russian Admiral's re port that they participated in the taking of ShamHai Kwan, as the sense of Gen eral Chaffee's orders were directly con trary to such participation. M. Thlebaut, the French Charge d'Ar Zalres, called on Secretary Hay late In the" day, but learned that final action bad "not yet been taken oh the French note, and that it would be some days before the response would be ready. The Con stitutional questions Involved require fur ther time for consideration. In high diplomatic quarters the suggesi tion was made today that the powers send a special envoy to SInan Fu, tfte new abode of the imperial family, wltn a collective note urging the return or the Emperor to Pekln, and giving guaran tees for his personal safety, and that or the Imperial household. Such an envoy. It was said, could accomplish much more than the circuitous negotiations through Chinese officials. The suggestion also was made that Chang Chi Tung, Viceroy or one of the southern provinces, would be well qualified to execute such a mission If the powers could be brought together in a collective request. The Chinese Minister said today that if the Powers regarded it as essential that the Emperor and Empress Dowager should return to Pekln he was quite con fident this could be brought about, first, "by giving positive assurances for the per sonal safety of their majesties, and then, as plain evidence of this assurance, di recting that the bulk of the allied forces now at Pekln be withdrawn to Tien Tstn, Tang Tsun or some other point, leaving only a few hundred troops at Pekln as a ruaro.. , "I am as sorry as any one can be that their majesties do not see their way clear to return to Pekln,"- said Mr. Wu, "but in the circumstances Is it not natural that they should take this course? They have been brought up In extreme seclu elveness at Pekln, without knowledge or the outside world and of the customs of foreigners. "When they withdrew, the Allied forces occupied the city. It has been divided Into districts to be patrolled and managed. It is said that the llled. troops have marched through the Im perial Palace. These steps must naturally have produced a profound effect on the Imperial family." 3fO REPLY FROM ENGLAND. All the Other Powers Anmvered Ger many's Note. BERUN, Oct. 9. It was ascertained at the German ForeiEn Office today by the correspondent of the Associated Press that all the powers have agreed to the proposals of the second German note, with the exception of Great Britain, from Trhom no answer has yet been received to either the first or second notes. The Foreign Office, however, expects "Great Britain's adherence to the second note, and still looks for a reply to the first With reference to the statement cabled from America that Great Britain has diet ed as mediator in effecting an understand ing between Germany and the United States, a high Porelgn Office official said that nothing was officially known regard ing such a service, if It had been ren dered, and, as a matter of fact, there was no necessity whatever for a mediator. The latter statement was corroborated by the xsnusn Amnassaaor. and bv the United States Charge d' Affaires No news from Field Marshal Count von Waldersee has been received at the For eign Office since the announcement that he bad taken charge. It Is taken for granted that the details of organisation, are absorbing his attention. Private dis patches say that the Germans occupy the palace of the Empress, and that German reinforcements, consisting of two battal ions, two guns and cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Havel, have arrived at Pekln. The Post says an agreement exists be tween Germany and Russia by which Germany Is to control the railroad "from Pekln to Yang Tsun, and Russia is to control the road from Yang Tsun to Tong Ku. The Post denies that Germany will send an expedition to SInan Fu. FRAJfCB IS OPTIMISTIC. Regards the Xctvs From. China as More Reasctxring:. PARTS, Oct. 9. It Is semiofficially an nounced today that the news received hero from China is mora reassuring than the English dispatches make out; that an agreement between the powers will be ar rived at on the basis of M. Delcasse's note; that the reported arrival of X.1 Hung Chang at Pekln. has been confirmed, and that confirmation has also been re ceived of the degradation of Prince Tuan. The officials of the French Foreign Of flco are elated over the reception which France's note has secured in Europe, and they are hopeful and sanguine that It will result in a common understanding "which will permit of early peace negotiations. France, however, has not yet received the formal reply of any power, but the verbal statements made by the yarious Ambas sadors on the presentation of the note leads the government to believe it will be accepted everywhere except In Great Brit ain and the United States. These powers acreo to certain features, while object ing to others, but do nottake a stand which is inimical, generally, to the propo sitions of 3L Delcasse. The Temps' Account of 'the Cabinet council says M. Delcasse submitted s patches from the French representatives abroad, showing' that the negotiations with thepowers are continuing ?under rood condlttonst "and that this jterxnlts o'rV hope of a -'favorable solution of the ques tions" considered. XULlES AT PAO .TING FU. Rumored at Shanghai That Tney Xleachcd City Without Opposition. XiQNTXJN. Oct 10. Dr. Morrison, the Pekln correspondent of the Times, wiring October 5, says: 'Russia, In pursuance of her pollcypf being China's only- friend, ' has restored the JTsung 11 Tamun to the Chinese. "Count von "Waldersee's 'decision to di vide .the rajlway administration between P.usBla.and Germany shows the humble position Great Britain is content' to oc cupy In Horth China." The Times has the following from Tien Tsln, dated October 7: "Three French battalions started yester day for Pao Ting Fu. The British are waiting for the Germans, but may start without them." The Shanghai correspondent 'of the Times, wiring Monday, says It is ro mored there that the allleB have arrived at Pao Ting Fu without opposition. The Berlin correspondent of the Stand ard says that the Chinese imperial edict is regarded there with skepticism, and that Count von Waldersee has been in structed to resume operations. The Standard's Tien Tsln correspondent, wiring Sunday, says: "I hear that the Chinese are concen trating at Hwang Lu Pass, leading into the Provinde of Shan SI, with the inten tion of opposing any attempt of the allies to pursue the imperial court." Dorageri Empress III. PEKIN1, Oct. 7, via Tien Tsln, Oct 8, and Shanghai, Oct 9. Trustworthy Chi nese reports say that the Dowager Em press is seriously 111 at Tal Yuan Fu, Province of Shen SI, and the free hand of the Emperor In affairs of state of. late Is regarded as confirmatory of these reports. A response to the German demand has been transmitted to 14 Hung -Chang. Thh says that Ting Nlen, President of Censorate, Iang Tl, Assistant Grand Sec retary and President" of the Civil Board, and Chao Shu Chiao. President of the Board of Punishment will be decapitated; that Prince Chwang, Duke Tsal Ian and Prince Tlh will be sentenced to life im prisonment, and that Prince Tuan will be banished, to the Imperial military post roads on the Siberian frontier, as a fur ther punishment for aiding the Boxers. Emperor AnxioHS to Return. SHANGHAI, Oct 8. The- Chinese assert that the Governor of Shan Tung and the Tangtsa Viceroys have sent a joint me morial to the Empress Dowager de claring It to be impossible to guarantee the dispatch of money and proylslons to SInan Fu, and threaten to resign unless the court returns to Pekln. It Is believed that Emperor Kwang Hsu Is anxious to return, and that the Dowager Empress wavered until she neard of the expedi tion to Pao Ting Fu. Dl Hung Chang's secretary reports that foreign troops, sup posed to be British, have already arrived at Pao Ting Fu. It is said that IA Hung Chang has advised the Emperor to return to Pekln, on the ground that the powers can stop supplies from reaching the Prov ince of Shen SI. Russian Massacres In Amur. VICTORIA, B. C, Oqt 9. Copies of the Nagasaki Press, received here, have in terviews with two Belgian journalists confirming the news of the massacres on the Amur. They say that as a Tesult of orders received from General Grlpsky, the Chinese in Blagovestchensk were rounded up by the Cossacks and escorted to a point seven vorts from the city, where they were robbed and then driven Into the river. The number killed was 5000. All towns along the Amur were -destroyed by the. Russians and the In habitants put to the sword. Algun, a city of 20,000 inhabitants, was razed but, fortunately, many escaped before the bombardment At Mocho, 2000 were mas sacred. Ton Wnldrsee" Demand. NEW YORK, Oct 9.

Serious friction Is reported between the British and Russian troops at Shan Hal Kwan, after the capture of the forts. Tho Japanese consider the withdrawal of the Chinese court Into the Interior ni mlnlshes confidence In the good faith or the 'government, hence Japan will not re duce the number of her troops In China, England's Claim Denied. NEW YORK, Oct. 9. A dispatch to the Herald from Berlin says: The inspired Muncher Allgemelne Zel tung contests the claim of England to exclusive rights in the Yang tse "Valley, declaring that Germany undoubtedly .has an Interest to pre vent exclusive commercial domination of 'any power In that region. The paper doubts if an East Asiatic triple alliance (Germany, France and Russia) would be a fit remedy against such ambitions. All the powers except Japan have re plied, agreeing with the latest note of Count von Bulow. Japan's agreement Is not doubted. ..- Return of the Emperor. PEKTN, Oct. 6. Prince Chlng has re ceived -an edict from the Emperor, dated October X in reply to a note sent at the request of the Legations, saying he will return to Pekin as soon as tho negotia tions take a favorable turn.

Wood Playinj Second Fiddle in the Populist Concert?" C. E. S "Wood and Zera Snow, counsel for the National Demo cratic party, were seen October 7, 1896, by a representative of The Oregonian, and asked for a statement of the circumstances of the filing of the protest against the Populist nominees for Presidential Electors being listed as Democrats on the pfficial ballot, and were requested to furnish. a statement for publication. In response, The Oregonlan received a -statement filling 1 column, from which the following is taken: ' H The Democratic party In thlB state has bqpn traded and trafficked with through tha Instrumentality of petty politicians, and "its votera have been taught that there was nothing In the principles of this party excepting the "greed for -public office, and this teaching by those who have undertaken to lead it In this state, In the last four or five years has resulted In party disintegration. The delivery of the Democrats . into the hands' of the Populists in -this state and the manner la which t was consummated Is, only one of the consequences of such politics. The prime reasons for Mr. "Wood's bolt from Hryan in 1896 were the money question and the assault of the Chicago platform upon law and, order," but he found additional cause In he betrayal" of his party Into the hands ot the Populists. Has there been any change in the ownership of the Democratic party of Oregon, since 1896? Has it broken away from Populism and reestablished itself upon the pedestal that Jefferspn', Jackson, Cleveland and their compeers made for it? Last April the state conventions of the Democratic and Pop ulist parties met in Portland the same dayt but' in separate halls. For months before the Democrats had courted fusion, almost begged It, and a deal was made. On Friday, April 13, at 4:50 P. M... about 60 delegates from the Populist convention, headed by William, Rufus Kin, then 'chairman, marched into the Democratic convention in the assembly hall of the Chamber of Commerce. All present resolved themselves Into an assembly of electors and ratified the nominations of the separate conventions, among them 'the following for Presiden tial Electors: Dell Stuart, lex-Republican f "Walter M. Pierce, Demo-,., crat; Ernest Kroener,. Populist; John Whittaker, Populist. How many Democrats of the high type he yearned for in 1896 will Mt. "Wood, find on his ballot; when'h.e marks his ticket November 6? Not one. How many Dehiocrats of any type? Only one. If idr. Wood . voteS for Bryan, and he is supporting him, his vote for Presidential Electors will go to two Populists, an ex-RpubUcan and one sllver-r plated Democrat Clearly, some noble Democrats who Started out in 1896 to reform their partystopped very'stiout in their work. . 9eaeee90ositie9eficee cox, Mrs. Simcox and three children, London, Pa.; Dr. L G.

" ' - - Ho addressed himself especially to the college boys, saying that he liked to talk to them because as a class .they held high Ideals before them and built their lives uton them. He recalled tho time when In college he entered tho senior year. "My father was dead," he said, "and I realized for the first time that I Would (have" 'to make my own way In the world. I began then to study political economy, and I determined to go Into life where my conscience should lead me." He went on to say that he believed all men should form such early standards for life". Every such one could be ent.out as a missionary, and every such mission ary would lessen his own labors. But, ho saldr It was not the college 'young men alone, but to all young men, 'that he-would appeal to form high ideals. And not 'to young men entirely, but to old men 'as well. Mr. Bryan said that militarism would hold up before the young men new Ideals representing Vorce ,and conquest rather . than the old ideals of ' peaceful progress.

Bryan referred to this fact saying: "I understand that this Is a Republican community, but I fear "you pepple have given so much attention to the catching of little rats that you have neglected the large rodents. I understand you make here the best rat-traps for little rats; but the trust Is a far ' more dangerous rat than your traps catch, and Republican genius has thus far invented no remedy. The "trust rat eafs its way into every house. " "Militarism is another rat the Repub lican party seems disposed to turn loose rather than to catch. It will devour the substance of the people and steal away many a boy from his mother. "Imperialism Is still another Tat, which not.-onty preys on the material substance of the oountryk but threatens to eat-into the moral fabric of the Nation. -Do you not think It Is -time to give some atten tion to the-larger rats?''

The original programme did not Include a speech at that place, "as lt Is conceded to be very strongly Republican, but It was decided at the last moment not to pass the town without any notice. -Accordingly Mr. Bryan spoke for about 10 minutes, going very hurriedly over the Issues of the campaign; He had a big audience, and received the closest atten tion. ' s When Mr. Bryan reached the Court house Square in Peoria the sides of the speaker's 4tahd wero covered with a mass of Humanity." The 'carriage ride from the depot to the grounds? was In strcets.packed on each side with shouting and 'cheering admirers. It was possible for Mr. Bryan to reach but one-half the audience. He at once launched Into the trusts, and after ward, took occasion to apswer the charges that lio Is being paid for his speechos. In part he said: t "I am not .as. rich a ipan as you would imagine from reading the, Republican pa, pers. 1 find it difficult to reconcile the statement of the Republican papers re garding my financial condition. They say that I am so ambitious that I would spend all my monew to" be President, and another time they say that I am so avaricious that I ' would not make a speech unless I am paid for It. I notice a criticism In the papers that the people of the towns through which cmr tram passes have contributed to the expense of the train, and it- was suggested that this was for my benefit T need not tell you that I receive nothing for- making speeches, bur, my friends, I wa,nt you to know that when men1 ride on trains .they must' elthw-pay- or'else' the railroad -oom panles must furnish them with Iree-arldesi Wedo not want a railroad' to carry. gur traln through.-the -state free, and,-there.-fore,- the' state committee rpaldouJ; about $1000 for the train for yesterday and to day. We believe 'It' Is better for people to pay their way and be Independent than to have corporations run-them after elec tion. I would a great deal, rather have Republican papers criticise me and peo ple along the road pay, than' to receive free rides from the railroad' companies and have corporations run me, if elected, "because they furnished tho trains." v The people of La Salle and the sun rounding country met Mr. Bryan at the train there. He reached that town at 8 o'clock and was escorted to a stand In the center of the city by a marching flambeau club and by Innumerable citi zens on foot The stands were filled with people, and the way was-llghted by red fire and skyrockets. Cheers greeted Mr. Bryan at every turn. -As usual,, he gave his first attention to the trusts, and de clared that they had no conscience. ,Tne trusts were, he said, practicing the meth ods oi the highwayman. "With an enormous campaign fund the .Republican party won In 18Wi," said Jir. Bryan "and then it undertook to and dldwieward Its contributors. It needs a bigger, fund this year than, It had In that year, and it expects to get lt.Jrom te trusts. That the trusts are to be re warded Is' quite certain. The. trusts are now .threatening to control elections by .the powers they have to threaten idle ness and hunger to their thousands and tens of thousands .of employes. It used .to be tha't the Christian knelt at morn ing and Invoked the Lord to give unto him his dally bread, but with the growth of -monopolies the laboring man must make his prayer to some trust magnate 'and say: 'Give us this day our daily bread.' With the trusts In control, the laborer became practically a serf, and the worklngnien should not allow 'them selves to be deluded Into' any mere ap pearance of safety. The mills were tar less liable to close down when Hot con trolled 'by trusts." Referring to the "full dlnner-pall" ar gument, Mr. Bryan said: "Tho Bible tells us there was once a man named Esau who sold his birthright for a full dinner-pail, and he has been held In derision ever since. When your employer attempts to coerce you,-ell him .that he. has been'preachlng prosperity for four years, and it the country Is pros perous, it ought not to be hard for you to find another. job" ?

The special train bearing Mr. Bryan, and party reached .Quincy early today, before either Mr. Bryan Or any one In the party had arisen. They were aroused by calls for Mr. Bryad and boating on the windows, Mr. Bryan had only time to get a cup Tf coffee jbefore he started on tho drlvo to Washington- Park. Notwithstanding the early; hour thero was a throng atthe sta tion,' among them "behlg a number pt marching clubs, t who "acted as an escost to the speaking grounds. Mr. Bryan Bpoke on the general tssuea of the cam paign, saying in part: "As I' passed along the street and as I looked Into tho faces of some of the care worn women who never get a chance to take a Summer vacation at some pleasant Watering place, I wonder how the hus bands and sons "of these women can find it in their hearts to support the policies which ace -today amassing great wealth In the hands of a few people with a ra pidity never known before In thehletory of the "world, I wonder how it Is that men who "are not Interested m getting1 their hands Into other people's pockptfc, btlt merely In keeping; other people's hands odt of their own pockets, can sup port the Republican ticket while the Re publican party denies the principle of equal rights to all and special privi leges to none and makes ''this a govern menfc of "tho syndicates, by tho syndicates and for the syndicates." Mr. Bryan again referred to the edi torial on pensions "which appeared in the Omaha World-fHerald, with, which he was formerly connected. He said th editorial was printed before he wata connected with the paper, "yet I dQiibt hot," he added, "that every soldier will receive a letter In which it will be stated that I Am tho author of the editorial." "I have already received one," shouted anpld soldier In theorowd. 'u am not surprlsedj" replied Mr. Bry an. "I know "they have misrepresented everything that could be misrepresented. Today they have not the least nope of carrying this election unless they have a bigger campaign fund than they have ever had before and they can coerce every voter who can be coerced." Mr. Bryan asserted that the Republican party had completely changed front upon me question oi a large sxanmng army. Formerly that pat;ty was wont to boast of Its confidence In the volunteer soldiers, but this was no longer true. Mr. Bryan dosed with a plea against Imperialism, and speaking of" the Porto Rlcan bill he said the principle Involved in that measure Is as dangerous and as damnable as has ever been .exercised by a tyrant In the world's history. " At Carthage. CARTHAGE. 111., Oct. 9.-The first stop after leaving Quincy was made at Camp Point, where Mr. Bryan spoke- from the rear platform of his car. At Golden, the next stopping-place,-Mr, Bryan discussed imperialism almost exclusively. He said" the. reason why the Republican platform had not referred to the Declaration of In dependence Was found In the fact that the party was unwilling to express Itself In behalf of the struggling Boers. At Carthage Mr. Bryan took cognizance of the criticisms of his personal participa tion In the campaign, saying: '"According to my understanding of pol itics, that the citizen Is the sovereign and the- office-holder -the servant, the citizens have a right to know what the candidates think of public questions. -They have a right to come In contact with their ptlblic officials, and If a candidate loses voles beoaufee the people gat acquainted -With Mm", he ought' not to "'complain- f or ft fs better to flndv him out beforeVthe election than afterwards, if he is bad. The right td"iartIcipate'in.governrtient'1son"e of the lnaHehable rights-'a rifeht .-th'St you OSe publlcans recognized when Lincoln was your leader, and a right that you never repudiated until you fell from Lincoln down to Hanna." - J" He also referred 'to hid position on Im perialism, saying: ' "If you hear that I am In favor of im perialism as ah 'issue, just because It Is a good Issue to get votes-.wlth, I want you to remember that June 14. 1S99, when your papers said that everybody wanted.expan slon, I protested against Imperialism. At that time Democratic friendfc told me that my course would be unpopular, but my answer was that when the Declaration" of Independence was repealed Lwould be out of politics, and It did not make any par ticular difference about the time of my' going out." At Macomb. ABINGDON, 111.. Oct 9. Mr. Bryan had to stand on a chair at Macomb to enable all the people who' had assembled to See him. The throng was Immense. Speaks lng of the policy of the Republican party, he said that the leaders of that party center their attention upon questions jat money and Ignore questions that affect human rights. Their party, he said. Is a party for the syndicates. -It Is looking" af ter the Interests of the trusts and of or ganized wealth, but It has no policy In the Interest of the great masses of the people On the trust question, he de clared that-.Republlcan3 were either Ig norant or wouldnot be candid, for they seemed to Know of- no trust except the Ice trust- , s -v "Why are you Republicans silent about the other trusts?' he asked. "It Is be cause you would rather live under the trusts and vote the-- Republican ticket than get -relief by voting the Democratic ticket.' .;-.'-. .lie would, he said, put every article manufactured by trusts" on the free list, and he., would require a trust organized In one state to take out licenses tln all other -states. By this plan, he thought, the water would be squeezed out of their stock. Mr. Bryan repeated his argument con cerning the Army, and said It would be far better, bad as that was, to 'have the Army Idle than to havo It killing people. What was to be done, he asked, with the large Army in the Philippines when it should come home? The real object, he asserted, for permanently Increasing the Army was to intimidate the labor element-' when It presents Just complaints. The-idea was to erect forts near the large cities, and, with the forces located Jn them, meet all the demands of labor. He contended that the United- States had no more title to the Philippines. than a big man would have to a small man that he had whipped. He would have the Fili pinos given their liberty. "If we are go ing to give them their liberty, let us give It to them now," he said, "while they live, and not wait until they are dead and then tell them what wo had meant to dofor them."
