VIEWED WITH FAVOR
11 .
Anglo-German Compact Sat
isfactory to U nitecf States.
NOTE OF APPROVAL WILL BE SENT
American Reply "Will Accept the
Principle of the Agreement Ifo
Adherence to the Alliance.
WASHINGTON, Oct 22. It was author
itatively stated tonight that the United
States Government views with distinct
iavor the principles of the Anglo-German
agreement relating to China and that
a formal response to that effect will he
made at an early day to the Invitation
extended this Government to accept the
principles of the agreement. The German-
Charge d Affaires, Count de Quadt,
had a conference "with Secretary Hay this
afternoon, presenting officially the text
of the Anglo-German agreement, includ
ing the invitation to the United States
to accept the principles therein! re
corded. Mr. Hay expressed his satis
faction at what had been done, saying
he. f elt it to . be in complete harmony
"with the policy this Government had
pursued, both as to the maintenance of
unobstructed commerce in China and the
territorial entity of the Empire, and
adding that a formal reply would be
given In a day or two. Count de Quadt
was gratified at these assurances and
left with the belief that there was such
a harmonious understanding on the gen
eral principles involved that the concur
rence of the powers was itear at hand.
Mr. Hay had been fully advised of the
agreement and had gone over It with
great care with the President yesterday
and today. This was the more necessary
owing to the President's departure for
Canton tonight. The result of these de
liberations is summed up in the -statement
that the Gpvernment views the
Anglo-German agreement with favor. It
is also probable that some attention has
been given to the draft of the American
reply. It is likely p be more in the' form
of a note of approval rather than any
formal adherence to the alliance, but
this is sid to be merely a matter of
detail.
About the only serious question which
has arisen as to the American reply was
in clause three of the Anglo-German
agreement. This states that -in case of
another power making use of the compli
cations In China in order to obtain ter
ritorial advantages, Germany and Great
Britain reserve the right to reach a pre
liminary understanding of the eventual
etep to be taken for the protection of
their interests. This Is open to the con
struction of helng a threat. It is prob
able that the American reply will not go
beyond accepting the principle that Ger
many and Great Britain have a right to
agree between themselves as to their
eventual course. But there Is not likely
to be anything which will commit this
Government to accept this eventual agree
ment. In short, the third clause is in
terpreted to apply only to Germany and
Great Britain, there being no Invitation
extended to other powers to join them
in a preliminary understanding regarding
the eventual steps to be taken.
NO FORMAL ANSWERS. .
But Germany Belle veil All the Pow
ers Will Accept the Agreement.
BERLIN, Oct. 23. Although no formal
answers have been received from the pow
ers regardlrur the Anglo-German agree
ment. Count von Bulow has been assured
by diplomatic representatives here that
their governments will readily accede to
thpfeWonaiifc, -This is not surprising,
because, as" a high official pointed out
today, the agreement contains only what
had been delivered in principle regarding
the present Chinese imbroglio. The
agreement, -which may he considered as
Count von Bulows entree Joyeuse into
his new office, is interpreted as another
diplomatic victory for him. It is now
asserted that the Russian Ambassador to
Germany, who was the first whom Count
Ton Bulow told about the agreement,
giving him oral explanations "tending to
show that its point was not directed
against Russia, gave assurances amount
lne to a declaration that Russia would
join in the agreement.
The papers -continue to discuss the
question. "While most of them approve
the agreement, the Russophile papers,
which means the Anglophobe faction, ex
press a fear that the coolness between
Germany and Russia, which arose re
cently, as evidenced by several incidents
relating to Count von Waldersee, will be
intensified by the agreement. The Liberal
organs, almost without exception, ex
press approval. The Frankfurter Zeltung
halls the agreement as "accentuating the
open door," and confidently predicts that
the United States will join. The.Fres
fcinige Zeltung declares that the agree
ment really amounts to an abolition of
the "sphere of international policy."
With reference to the speculations as to
the existence of a secret clause, the Na
tional Zeltung, after careful inquiry,, af
ilrms that no such clause exists. The in
spired organs declare in chorus that the
acreement is not aimed at any power,
and, least of all, at Russia. They point
out the choice of Great Britain's protec
tion of the Tangtse region, where Ger
man trade could be ruined unless the
principle of the Jopen door" were main
tained. The Hamburg-American line, the North
German Lloyd line, the associations of
shipowners at Hamburg and Bremen, and
various Chambers of Commerce have tel
egraphed to Count von Bulow their
hearty approval of the agreement.
RUSSIA'S HOLD ON MANCHURIA.
China Endeavoring to Make a Sep
arate Arrnnjccment.
LONDON, Oct. 23. The Times publishes
the following from its correspondent from
St. Petersburg.
"It is safe to say that the visit of the
Chinese Minister to Llvldia, where the
Russian court and the principal Ministers
are now staying, and whence the Russian
Government is directed with more se
crecy than would be possible here, is
connected with the endeavor to make a
separate agreement concerning Man
churia. The Russians will continue to
exterminate the Chinese in the most ruth
less manner, in order to protect the fu
ture of the railway. A critical study of
official reports shows that Chinese resist
ance has been a mere farce. The Rus
sians have been only too glad of the
opportunity to kill every Chinese soldier
and to destroy every vestige of Chinese
authority in Manchuria, and they have
taken advange of this farcical resistance
with a vengeance.
"Last year's.budget shows an -unprecedented
surplus of 155,000,000 rubles of
revenue over and above the total expen
diture. Up to the present only 40,000.00!)
rubles extra have heen spent in conse
quence of the troubles la Manchuria and
China proper."
JEtnftsia Is Suspicions.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 22. The yiedo
moste thinks the Anglo-German agree
ment is "enigmatical," since the mainten
ance of the Integrity in China is accept-
able as the fundamental principle by all
powers. It -adds:
"The agreement, therefore, alms at the
protection of that which needs no protec
tion To the question, as to who will
threaten the integrity of China, there is
hut one answer thOBe who have arranged
to crush any one who thinks of pre-
..- iom frmri tnldnirtas ftOOty those
ports la China which they have regarded
ex belonging to themt Ttussla will,' in
the meanwhile, know how to protect
China."
The Novoe "Vremya regards the terri
tory north of the Pel Ho River as be
longing to Russia, "who will not admit
the application of the 'open door' to that
territory."

EVEN UP IN DOUGLAS.
(Continued from First Page.)
crats, Populists who were formerly Re
publicans and Republicans who have
lately not 'been politically friendly to the
ex-Congressman. Hermann's ambition to
be Senator was made an issue, and "it
was said on the stump and off the jstump
that Republican success In his' home
county would help 'him and that without
it he could not hope to have standing In
the Legislature. Democrats and Republi
cans say that the shrewd Mr. Hermann
wrote a number of autograph letters to
voters who were not straight Republicans
requesting them as a favor to him to vote
the Republican ticket and Intimating, if
not openly saying, that votes so cast
would strengthen Hermann for United
States Senator. None of these letters,has
fallen, into the hands of those who are
opposing Hermann's new ambition. Her
mann still has a " large following In
Douglas and some equally powerful politi
cal enemies. His source of strength Is
judicious distribution of Federal patron
age As Congressman and as Commis
sioner of the General land Office, he has
always been kind to his home county.
Since McKlnley became President the
plums have been falling to the Republi
cans, but the Democrats are not envious.
They say it makes no difference who
shakes the tree so Jong as the fruit is
harvested by Douglas County.
Another thing, trivial In itself, but 'Im
portant enough to cost the fuslonlsts 20
votes, was the question of hogs run
ning at large. Out at Canyonville every
body owns a pig and everybody wanted
his own pig and his neighbor's pig to
run at large. In the division of respon
sibility in the fusion camp, County Clerk
Gazley, who lives at Canyonville, was ex
pected to hold his precinct level on the
pork question, and keep It from going
Republican. Mr. Gazley maintained, a
noncommittal attitude, which led the yeo
men of Canyonville to believe that he
was in favor of fencing m the pigs, and
his party with him. Thereupon, Canyon
ville, which had been overwhelmingly
Popullstic in 1S9S, giving Gazley fC0 plu
rality, reversed Itself and went strongly
Republican, defeated Gazley for re-election
and made possible Tongue's plurality
of 77 for Congressman and Booth's 50 for
joint Senator.
Between prosperity, Hermann's candi
dacy and the Canyonville pork question,
the "Republicans carried the county by
these pluralities: Supreme Judge, 1G6;
Dairy Commissioner, 180; Congressman, T7
District-Attorney, 688; Legislative, 50 to
242; county officers, 32 to 442. The total
vote was 2923, of which the Mlddle-of-the-Road
Populists cast 151 for joint Repre
sentative and the Prohibitionists 120 for
Supreme Judge.
Listless Campalsm.
Tho campaign drags along In a listless
sort of way. The Republicans are keep
ing their organization in good condition,
and making a special effort to reach the
voters in out-of-the-way places. The
Bryanltes aim to do as muoh as tho Re
publicans. If the Republicans have a
meeting, the Bryanltes try to have one,
and then they await the next Republican
move. Practically, the Bryanltes are
without organization. Though the Demo
crats, Sliver Republicans and Populists
have county committees, there Is no con
centration of effort, no general headquar
ters. Most of the work is being done by
the Bryan Club of Roseburg, of which
Dexter Rice is president, but, as a rule,
the canvass Is in the hands of the In
dividual voter, all hands following the
advice of the Roseburg Review that
"everyone should resolve himself Into a
committee of one for Bryan."
Only the Prohibitionists are making an
active fight. They are trying to revenge
themselves on McKlnley for his attitude
on the canteen question and are working
to draw votes from the Republican ticket.

THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
Expression of the Nation's Grlefc
Flagrf to Be at Half-Mast.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. The President
this afternoon Issued, the following proc
lamation: "In the fullness of years and honors,
John Sherman, lately Secretary of State,
has passed away. Few among our citi
zens have risen to greater or more de
served eminence in the National councils
than he. The story of his public life and
services Is, as it were, the history of the
country for halt a century.
"In the Congress of the United States
he ranked among the foremost In the
House, and later In the Senate. He was
twice a member of the Executive Cabinet,
first as Secretary of the Treasury and
afterwards as Secretary of State. Wheth
er In debate during the dark "hours of
our Civil War, or as the director of the
country's finances during the period of
rehabilitation, or as a trusty councillor
In framing the Nation's laws for over 40
years, or qs the exponent of Its foreign
policy, his course was ever marked by
devotion to the best Interests of his be
loved land, and by able and conscientious
efforts to uphold its dignity and honor.
His countrymen will long revere his mem
ory .and see in him a type of the patriot
Ism, the uprightness and the zeal that-go
to .molding and strengthening a nation.
"In fitting expression of the sense of
bereavement that afflicts the Republio, I
direct tliat on the day of the funeral the
executive o'fflces of the United States dis
play the National flag at half-mast, and
that the representatives in foreign coun
tries shall pay in like manner appropriate
respect for tho illustrious dead for 10
days."
"WHAT JUDGE DAY1 SAYS.
John Sherman's Place In History Is
Secare.
CANTON, O., Oct. 22 Judge William
R. Day, who succeeded the late John
Sherman as Secretary of State, in speak
ing of his death today, said1:
"In the death of Secretary Sherman
the country has lost one of Its greatest
statesmen and notable figures. Mr. Sher
man had been continuously In National
affairs for a greater length of time than
any American now living. He became
prominent In public life as far back as the
'50s, when he was a member,of the Con
gressional committee that visited Kan
sas to investigate the troubles then pre
vailing there. He helped form tho Re
publican party, and throughout his long
career was one of the most trusted and
able leaders. Perhaps his crowning work
was as Secretary of the Treasury under
President Hayes, when he carried to suq,
cessful issue the act providing for the
resumption of specie payments. In a
great measure we owe to his firmness and
courage the high credit of our country
ahroad and the sound condition of its
finances at home. He was indeed a great
man, and his countrymen will mourn his
Iosb and cherish his memory. His place
in history Is secure, as one of the fore
most of American statesmen."
Senator Hanna and Senator Jones.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22. Regarding the
death of ex-Secretary John Sherman,
Senator Hanna, chairman of tho Repub
lican National Committee, said:
"Though not unexpected, the news of
Senator Sherman's death is sad news to
everybody. Ever since my connection
with public affairs I have been a sup
porter and ardent admirer of Sherman.
I have always regarded him as the ablest
and most conservative statesman of our
country. He was in every sense a true
American. His long career of public
service had never been marred by a fail
ure. The greatest monument to his memory-will
be his own splendid record.''
Senator James K. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, said:
"For many years I, regarded Mr. Sher
man as the wisest Republican la public
life. He was a man of great sagacity
and foresight, and had Impressed his per
sonality as much upon the Government
In the last 40 years as any other man who
has been before the public."
From ex-President Harrison.
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 22. Ex-President
Harrison, speaking of John Sherman,
said:
"The death of John Sherman removes
one of the few remaining participants
In the heated and important legislative
contests that led up to the Civil War.
His public life brought him Into an active
relation to the most exciting, difficult and
momentous questions the President- and
Congress have ever been called to deal
with since the Union was formed. In
all of these, as a member of the House
of Representatives, as a Senator and as
a Cabinet officer, he bore a wise, courage
ous and prominent part. He was one of
our most able and useful public men,
and will be widely and sincerely mourned.
I have felt that It was a great pity that
Mr. Sherman could not have closed his
career as a member of the Senate."
London Press Comment.
LONDON, Oct. 22 The news of the
death of ex-Secretary Sherman reached
here too late for comment in most of the
afternoon newspapers. The Pall Mall Ga
zette thinks that, "while the result' of his
Secretaryship 1n President McKinley's
Administration showed Mr. Sherman had
outlived his usefulness, his services to his
country 'for the preceding 40 years were
great, and will be remembered with grati
tude." Mansfield Bells Tolled.
MANSFIELD, O.Oct 22. The bells of
churches, shops, and of the fire depart
ment were tolled this afternoon on ac
count of Senator Sherman's death. Flags
are at half-mast. A proclamation will be
Issued by Mayor Brown to have the
stores, factories and schools closed Thurs
day during the funeral. Services will be
held at Grace Episcopal Church.
JOHN SHERMAN'S CAREER.
Nearly Half a Century TJevoted to
Public Service.
Tho passing of John Sherman removes
from the public stage about tho last of
those towering figures whose public lives,
beginning with the Civil War and cover
ing a period of the last 40 years, were
interwoven with the great events of that
epoch. As his Illustrious brother, Wil
liam 'Tecumseh, shared with Grant and
Sheridan the highest place among the
military heroes of the generation, so, too,
John Sherman stood Irk civic Ufe along
with Seward, Sumner, Evarts, Blaine and
thak coterie of intellectual giants of the
war and reconstruction days. Always a
leader, twice a member of the Cabinet,
first as the head df the Treasury and then
of State affairs; three times a candidate
for the Republican nomination for the
Presidency and for years one of the great
creative forces In Congress, Ills name was
identified with the laws", the law-making
and the political struggles which engaged
attention for almost half a century. Few
men had more continuous public service
In such a diversity of fields, and in all of
them his work, was conspicuous.
John Sherman was born in Lancaster,"
O., May 10, 1823, three years after the.
birth of his brother. William. Tecumseh.
They came of sturdy ancestors, tracing
their lineage back through Roger Sher
man, one of the signers of the Declara
tion of Independence, to the Shermans
who came over shortly after the landing
of the Pilgrims. t The father was a lawyer,,
of prominence in Ohio, who rose in later
life to be Judge of the Supreme Court.
Wh'en he died. In 1829, the large family
of boys were left with scant support and
wore adopted by friends and relatives.
William went with Thomas 'Ewln, 'who
Bhaped In his career as a soldier, while
John went with an older brother, Charles,
at Mansfield, and took up the study of
law, which, in turn, tqok him into the
field of politics and public life.
His first public service was in 1848, when
ho was a delegate to the Whig conven
tion at Philadelphia, which -nominated
Zachariah Taylor. Again In 1852 he was' a
delegate to Baltimore, when Wlnfield
Scott was nomlnated'for the Presidency.
In those early days his characteristics
of caution and conservatism marked him
as a safe man among the many who
were wrought to excitement and emotion
by the events leading to the war. This
characteristic seoured for him his first
election to Congress. He was elected to
the Thirty-fourth Congress and took his
seat December 3, 1855,"
A momentous period was just then un
folding and he came upon the scene when
just such men of ability, and courage
were needed. The attemots to repeal the
Missouri compromise, the Dred Scptt de
cision, the fugitive slave law, the spread
of abolition sentiment, and thd lowering
of the clouds of an active conflict gave
evidence that the very existence of the
Republic was at "stake. Amid such Im
pressive conditions Sherman at once
came to the front as one of the leaders
of legislative action. His prominence In
the House began when, the Speaker, Na
thaniel Banks, appointed him, on the com
mittee to investigate tho ruffianism In
"bleeding Kansas." He was acting chair,
man during the inquiry, and the Teport
he made was the basis for ,the Presiden
tial canvass of 1856. At the end of hfs
second term In Congress he was recog
nized as the foremost -man ln.theHouse
of Representatives. He was a candidate
for Speaker, coming withlnthree voteB of
the position. His defeat fo'r the Speaker
ship led to his becoming chairman of the
committee on ways and means. Here, for
the first time, hjs peculiar geniua for
finance showed itself The finances of the
country were .sadly crippled, members of
Congress were not receiving their pay.
His first step wis in securing the passage
of tho bill authorizing the Treasury notes
of 1B60. , '
About this time Salmon P. Chase re
signed his seat as" Senator from Ohio and
Mr. Sherman was elected to, his place en
tering the Senate for the .first time" on
March 4. 1881. His Congressional fame
had preceded him, and he at once took
the same rank in the upper branch as he
had In the lower. Hls.Berv"lce was con
tinuous until 1873, moBt of the time as
chairman of the finance committee. In
which position he wrote many of those
far-reaching measures of "finance with
which he was Identified. The suspension
of specie payment "occurred, in 1862, 'ne
cessitating the Issue of United States
notes. He largely, carried this measure
through, and was also tho defender ,of
the legal tender feature ofthese notes,
which excited wlde"-v differences In and
out of Congress. Following this, he de
vised the plan for resuming4 specie pay
ment and practically framed, the bill By
which resumption was to occur on Jan
uary 1, 1879.
When Hayes became President, Sher
man entered the Treasury and there, as
executive officer, he had an opportunity to
execute the plan of specie payment .which
he had .previously placed on the statute
books. His first move was to begin the
accumulation of a great stock of gold
with which to pay specie for paper when
January 1, 1879, arrived. Six' months be
fore that time he had accumulated in
the Treasury $140,000,000, and when Jan
uary 1 came he had the satisfaction of
seeing the paper money gradually rlso
to the value of gold, until gold no longer
brought a premium. Tho execution of
this important financial move, through
Congress and in the Treasury, aroused In
tense divisions, and there was much criti
cism as well as approval.
In 1880 he became a candidate for the
Presidency and his name was presented
to the national convention by James A.
Garfield." In the contest between the
friends of Grant and Blaine, Garfield was
nominated. Again, in the national con
vention of 1884, he was placed in nomina
tion by Joseph B. Foraker. But the Ohio
delegation divided and Sherman secured
only a few votes. In18SS he was a candi
date for the third time, leading through
out with 249 votes on the second ballot,
and continually after until Benjamin Har
rison was nominated by withdrawal of
other candidates. He had returned to the
Senate In 1881, serving continuously until
1E97, when he resigned to enter the Cabi
net of President McKlnley as Secretary
of State. His resignation from that body
occurred soon after the declaration of
war with Spain, and he returned to pri
vate Ufa after 45 years of almost con
tinuous public service. Since then he has
done some, literary work, carrying for
ward his memoirs from the period of his
former hook.
WANAMAKER ON THE STUMP
Making a Fight Against the Quay
Wing of the Party.
POTTSTOWN, Pa., Oct. 22.-John Wana
maker tonight made his first politi
cal address in two years. His speech
here was the beginning of a brief tour
in the Interest of the candidates for the
State Legislature who are opposed to the
Quay wing of the party In this state.. At
the beginning of his address Mr. Wana
maker said that four years ago he spoko
In advocacy of the election of Mr. Mc
Klnley, and would have done the same
thing this year had there been any ques
tion of Pennsylvania's vote for McKIn-
ley. He said also he was in no wise a
candidate for the office of United Spates
Senator, though had the office come to
hjm in 1896 he would have accepted it.
Mr. Wanamaker severely scored what
he termed the "machine," and said that
"Tweedism at Its worst was no worse
than Quaylsm at its best," hut that there
was no best Quaylsm,. as there Is no good
bad. He then spoke of the value of good
government and the benefits to be de
rived therefrom. In this donneetlon, he
referred tp the strike in the anthracite
coal region, and said that good govern-.-ment
would prevent the flagrant violation
of the Constitution by the coal compa
nies constituting themselves miners, ship
pers and merchants in coal, keeping com
pany stores, paying wages at long inter
vals, denying check weighing, employing
children at deathly tasks and endangering
the lives of miners by ignoring precau
tions for their safety.
"Good government," said Mr. Wana
maker, "by removing the indefensible dis
crimination In transportation would have
removed the chief cause' of the strike of
150,000 men, which has deprived them of
their wages and wasted the capital of
such of their employers as are at the
mercy of the railroads."
Mr. Wanamaker said, In declaring that
he was not a candidate for the Senate,
that he wanted to be freer" than ever be
fore to flght the forces of evil In this
plundered and debauched state.

OUR REPLY la FRANCE
NOTES EXCHANGED BETWEEN HAY
AND THIEBAUT.
Suggestion That the Powers Bind
Themselves Again to Maintain
China's Territorial Integrity.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22,-Tho State De
partment today made public the corre
spondence which has taken place between
Itself and the French Government sinco
the original French note respecting China,
which lays don the terms suggested by
France as a basis of negotiations for a
settlement. This last correspondence
consists of two notes exchanged by Sec
retary Hay and M. Thlebaut last week,
putting In formal shape certain verbal
statements of Importance respecting the
negotiations.
An interesting and important feature of
the United States' note is the closing sug
gestion that the powers bind themselves
again to preserve Chinese territorial in
tegrity and, to maintain the "open door,"
exactly the objects aimed at in the British-German
agreement or alliance which
was made public last week. While this
note- "by, Secretary Hay bears date of Oc
tober 19, and the British-German agree
ment Is assigned the date of October 16,
the action of this Government was taken
In ignorance of the agreement, and it is
entirely possible that l may have been
the means of bringing about a disclosure
of Its purposes. Our suggestion indicates
a favorable response by this Government
to the invitation to join with Great Brit
ain and Germany in the objects specified.

"Embassy of the French Republic to the
United States, Washington, D. C, Octo
ber 17, 1900: The Government of the Re
public has highly appreciated the re
sponse which the Government of the
United States has made to Its note of the
4th of October; it has been especlally
gratlfylng to It to observe the sentiments
of sympathy for France whloh have evi
dently inspired that reply.
"All the Interested powers have adhered
to rthe essential principle of the French
note; In so far as concerns the points
which have- called forth comments on the
part of certain Cabinets, they could, It
would seem, be discussed among the pow
ers or between,their diplomatic represen
tatives atPekln.inJhe course of the ne
gotiations and receive' such modifications
a might be judged necessary In order
to more surely, and speedily attain the
common end. x
"The essential thing now Is to show the
Chinese Government, which has declared
itself ready to negotiate, that the powers
are animated by the same splrk; that
they are decided to respect the integrity
of China and the independence of its
Government, but that they are none th6
less resolved to obtain the satisfaction to
which they have a right. In this regard,
It would seem that If the proposition
which has been accepted as the basis of
negotiations was communicated to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries by the Minis
ters of the powers at Pekln, this step
would be of a nature to have a happy In
fluence upon the determinations of the
Empcrdr of China and his Government.
"It goes without saying that this col
lective step would In no wise Interfere
with the examination of the points In the
French proposition, to which the reserva
tions named by certain governments re
late. "The Minister of Foreign Affairs would
be particularly happy to learn that this
Is also the opinion of the President of the
United States and of the honorable Secre
tary of State, and that they have thought
It opportune to send to the Minister of
the United States In Pekln instructions
In this sense."

to the memorandum In regard to the
bases and conduct of negotiations for a

the powers and China," delivered to the
Secretary of State by the French Charge
d'Affaires October 17, 1900.
"The Government of the United States
Is gratified to learn that all of the Inter
ested powers have adhered to the essen
tial principle of the note of October 14,
and trusts that such reservations as they
have suggested will, like those mentioned
In the reply of the United States, prove
nb embarrassment to the progress of&he
negotiation in the course of which they
can be frankly discussed with a view to a
common agreement.
"Holding, as It does, in accord with the
French Government, that the essential
thing now is to prove to the Chinese Gov
ernment that the powers are ready to
meet In the path of peaceful negotiation,
and that they are united in their repeat
edly declared decision to respect the in
tegrity of China and tho Independence of
its government, while equally united in
the resolve to obtain rightful satisfaction
for the great wrongs they and their na
tions have suffered, this Government has
Instructed Its Minister In Pekln to con
cur in presenting to the Chinese plenipo
tentiaries the points upon which we are
atrreed as the initial step toward negotia
tions and toward the re-establishment of J
the effective power and authority or tne
imperial Government.
"The Government of the United States
believes that the happy influence upon tho
determinations- of the Chinese Emperor
and of his Government which the Govern
ment of the French Republic anticipates
as the result of this step would be still
further Induced If the powers were to in
clude as part of their Initial deplaration
a' collective manifestation of their deter
mination to preserve the territorial integ
rity and the administrative entirety of
China, and to secure for the Chinese Na
tion and for themselves the benefits of
open and equal commercial intercourse
between the Chinese Empire and the
world at large.

ROSTAND'S NEW PLAY.
Maude Adams' Success In First Pre
sentation of "IAIglon."
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 A metropolitan
audience saw Maude Adams In Ros
tand's "L'Alglon" at the Knickerbocker
Theater for tho first time tonight. Much
Interest has been manifested here, not
only of this new effort of the author of
"Cyrano," but In the radical assumption
of the character of the Eaglet. All In all,
Miss Adams was -a pronounced success.
She was perhaps at her best in the open
ing act, where light comedy prevails and
where situations full of wit, humor and
satire abound. Though the great scenes
of the battle-fleld of Wagram were un
doubtedly more In Bernhardt's line, nev
ertheless the tragic is so pronounced In
act four that the Interest of the audience
did not flag throughout.

BAD BRONCH
HUNDREDS CURED BY DR. COPELAND'S
TR.UE METHOD.
Breathing Balm and Healing "Straight Into the Diseased Air Tubes,"
Instead of Roundabout 'Doctoring" Through the Stomach
Lasting Cure by Pleasant Antiseptic Inhalations.
People are now being cured of chronic
bronchitis and cured permanently by
the specialists of the Copeland Medical
Institute, the Dekum building, corner
Third and Washington streets, with little
delay and no particular difficulty, and at
an assessment of but J5 monthly which
all patients are expected to pay the re
medial Inhalations and medicines being
all Included In that nominal fee-rate.
Thlg may seem surprising. Doctors have
been complaining for a thousand years
that they couldn't cure bronchitis, but
this has been because they didn't know
how, or hadn't means for applying cura
tives locally. Bronohltls Is a local malady,
directly accessible to curative inhalations,
and the only effective treatment Is by an
in-breathing of vaporized remedies of
transcendent healing virtue till the sore
and Inflamed bronchial tubes are moist
ened by it, or soaked in it, or effectually
Impregnated with It, for the period neces
sary to permanently allay its inflamma
tions and to permanently abate its pains.
The usual method is not to send hear
ing vapors down the windpipe to the
burning bronchia but to send arsenic and
opium solutions, etc., down the breadplpe
Into the stomach, thence to be carried up
and down the whole live body and be
diffused throughout the whole wide sys
temthe bronchial tubes receiving inci
dentally only some faint. Infinitesimal pro
portion of the "medicine." Dr. Copeland
maintains that this opiating the entire
body to reach a cough and soothe a
sore spot in the chest this scattering ar
senic all through the system to merid an
airplpe and ease the breathing Is like
giving pi'ls to a cow and drinking the
milk for colic. It Is like emptying ship
loads of drugs into the Willamette till
all the hydrants of Portland run nothing
These People Speak From Personal Experience
Mr. H. R. IiOnff, proprietor of the
American Laundry, residing at 2S0 East
Sixth street North, Portland: The Cope
land physicians understand their business.
Their treatment Is scientific, and the re
sult they obtained In my case Is both sur
prising and gratifying. If they accom
plish for all their patient3 what they ac
complished for me, It is no wonder that
their offices are always crowded.
'Rev. T. R. A. Sellwood, a 'well
known rector of the Episcopal church, re
siding at Mllwaukle: From my own in
dividual experience I regard the system
of treatment practiced by the Copeland
specialists In chronic maladies as the
very best. Their reasonable rates plac-
their services within the reach of all
they are certainly public benefactors.
Captain Abe Tichenor, GOT Everett
street, Portland: Our little girl Hazel
could not breathe through her nose, oae
was continually bothered with colds, and
a gagging and rattling In her throat. The
Copeland physicians cured her. I cannot
too highly recommend their methods or
treating children.
Hon. J. C. I.nwrence, Gnrfleld,
Wash.: I have been familiarly acquainted
with the Copeland physicians and their
methods of caring for the sick for four
or five years. I am thoroughly convincea
that their wonderful practice, which
stands without parallel In the Northwest,
Is justly merited. It is founded on sci
ence, economy and honesty, and must con
tinue to grow as the people become bel
ter acquainted with it.
Mr. A. A. Senffrnves, proprietor of
the Occidental Hotel, Seattle, Wash.:
The Copeland physicians cured me. I
cannot speak too highly of their methoaa
and skill. Just think of It! A whole
month's treatment, all medicines included,
for $5. It Is certainly a blessing to But
tering humanity.
Mr. J. A. Hngliey, of the Hngfhcy
Shingle Company, Whatcom, Wash.: My
physician advised me to go to the Cope
land specialists, and they cured me. Their
total charge, including all medicines, was
only $5 per month.

Flfirnring on Baltimore.
The completion of the work of registra
tion, showing, an enrollment of 115,856
voters, has set the party managers at
both Republican and Democratic head
quarters to figuring on the results of tho
election In Baltimore City. It is conced
ed by both that the party receiving 57,000
votes will carry the city by a small mar
gin, as It is generally believed that there
are between 7G00 and 8300 voters regis
tered who will not come out on election
day. A well-known Republican, in esti
mating the majority for the Republican
ticket In Baltimore, placed it at 6CO0. Ho
gives the regular Democratic vote as
45,000. To this he adds SC00 Gold Demo
crats, who have come back into the party,
and 4000 new voters, who will cast thelr
flrst ballot for President this Fall. This
makes a total of 52,000 votes for the Dem
ocratic ticket in the city, and If, as is an
ticipated. 112,000 ballots are cast, the Re
publican majority will be about COCO. At
Democratic headquarters it Is stated that
the regular vote of their party Is about
53,000. Accessions from Gold Democrats

but tinctures and syrups, not so much to
cure those who are sick as to sicken thos
who are well.
This singular 2igzag doctoring Isn't tht
right way to treat bronchitis, which Is
too firm and formidable and strongly
rooted a malady to be loosened or shakeu
by any such foolishness, it must be go
at locally. Immersed in oily vapors and
cured somewhat as a boil or pimple is
cured by a covering of ham Tat. If we eat
ra- pork till the remedial grease oozes
through all the 750,000 pores of the body,
some of the hog-medicine will, of course,
incidentally reach and grease the sore.
This would be sacrificing the useful hu
man stomach and befouling gallons ot
pure and precious blood to cure a pim
ple; but the idea is the same as that or
eating drugs to reach bronchitis.
There can be no adequate and effectual
medication of diseased bronchial tubes,
excepting by the method practlcea by Dr,
Copeland and Montgomery. The healing
vapors which they administer by lnhaln

chia. Their strong remedial virtues ar
not wasted and lost by being uselessry

Motgomery's easy and complete mastery
