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.

wiring Sunday, says:

trating at Hwang Lu Pass, leading into

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.

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

HAS THE DEMOCRACY: BEEN REDEEMED?
If Not, Why 1$ Mr. C. E. S. 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. .

spoke twice. The audiences were gener

and 'Joitet were especially so.J '
Mr. Bryan beganjibspeech at Ablrtg
dori, an Important" educational center, b'y,
saying that he had .heard jnuch .of the
place through his law""partnert MrT Tal
bot, of Nebraska, who had'lhfluericed him
to go t6 Nebraska. , --
"It 1 had not gone to Nebraska," ho
said, "I would not have been In Congress
when I was, and If I had not gone to
Congress I would not have been nomi
nated for the Presidency when I was; so
you can see my fortunes have been in
fluenced to a considerable extent by Ab
ingdon." " ' - -
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.
In Abingdon' more rat-traps aro manu
factured .than In any other town In the
United States, and ,. Sir. 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?''
At "Vlneennes heihad met a man wear
ing a McKlnley 'button who. had asked
him for -enough -money-to get-a, meal. "I
gave, .him .thewmoneyi'' saldMr. Bryan,
"saying ta him at the time that he was
a good example of .the prosperity that his
party lb talking, so muchabout.",
A very brief stop' was "made at Gales
burg. 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" ?

"At Qaincx. " "
QUINCY, 111., Oct 9. 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."
