THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAK, FOKTLAttD, ' OCTOBER 7, 1900.
INSWER TO FRANCE
Some of the Proposals Must
Be Left to Congress.
NOT IN THE PRESIDENTS POWER
Chinese Edict Concerning; the Re
moval of the Imperial Capital
to Sinan. Fn.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. The American
answer o the JErench note, -which Is the
pending phase o the Chinese negotia
tions to be disposed of, has heen pretty
-well denned, although it -will remain tor
the return of the President and a meet
ing of the Cabinet to give the answer
formal deflniteness. Already, however,
Intimations have been conveyed to some
of the foreign representatives that this
Government may not be able to concur
in the interdiction of the Import of arms
into China, and also that there may be
, serious Constitutional reasons requiring
at least two of the French proposals
to he submitted to the American Congress
before they can be acted upon affirma
tively. These two latter propositions re
late to the establishment of a perma
nent legation guard at Pekln and to the
permanent maintenance of a line of com
munication from Fekin to the sea. The
permanency of these plans involves a
possibility of territorial occupation,
though of a limited character, both at
Pekln and along the road from Pekln to
the sea, and it is understood that even
if these moves were 'regarded with favor
by the executive branch there would be
Constitutional reasons making it desirable
to submit them to Congress.
This idea has been put forward only
in a tentative way, as indicating to for
eign representatives some of the questions
which will have to be taken into account
in giving an answer to the French note.
The document is not regarded, however,
as one which must be accepted or re
jeoted as a whole. The efforts of M.
xelcasse to secure a basis of settlement
are fully appreciated by the officials here,
and this view, doubtless, will And expres
sion in the American answer. The Japa-
nese .Minister has delivered to the Secre
tary of State a telegram, dated October
-1, received from the Japanese .Minister
for Foreign Affairs, to this effect:
11 "The Japanese Acting Consul at Shang
hai reported on the 58th ulL the pub
lication in Chinese papers of an undated
Imperial edict, the purport of which was
as follows-:
" "Though we have accompanied -Her
Majesty the Empress Dowager, to Tal
Tuan, and settled there, it is not our in
tention to remain there permanently. In
asmuch as Sinan was the seat of the
ancient rulers of China and Is defended
by nature, we order the Acting Governor
of Shen Si to select a suitable site for
the imperial palace in the City of Sinan,
and to provide everything necessary lor
our journey there. He should bear in
mind the hardships we are now exposed
to and refrain from all extravagant prep
arations.' "
A telegram from the United States Con
sul at Tien Tsln conveys the Information
that the Baroness von Ketteler left for
Yokohama September 30, in fair health.
General Chaffee reports the following
casualties from China:
"Taku. Received Oct. 5. 1900. Adjutant

Japanese Withdrawing.
PEKIN, Oct. 2, via Tien Tsln, Oct. 5,
and Shanghai, Oct. 6. The Japanese ret
rograde movement has been begun and
Japan's force in China is being rapidly
reduced. It is officially stated that half
the army will return to Japan. Several
Japanese trains, said to contain a lot of
treasure, have departed from the city.
The Japanese assert that the trains con
tain ammunition.
The British officials have reprimanded
the Chinese for selling ammunition to the
Boxers.
The, Americans are massing near the
forbidden city, not for loot, but? merely
lor the purpose of examining the col
lections. Abandoned West Hirer Trade.
NEW YORK, Oct. C A dispatch to the
Herald from Hong Kong sayst
Owing to restrictive regulations and un
favorable treatment, British shipping
companies have abandoned the West
River trade and sold their vessels for the
Yangtse, leaving the foreigners In the
river ports dependent on Chinese launches
in the event of a rising. Two roughly
constructed beach boats, which were
landing stores at Hong Kong, have re
ceived hurried orders to proceed to Can
ton. Earl Ii Rescues Belgians.
TIEN TSIN, Oct. 5 (Friday). LI Hung
Chang has ordered the release and safe
escort to Pekln of five Belgian engineers
and 15 missionaries, who have been kept
prisoners many weeks at Pao Ting u.
Li Hung Chang is apparently doing hiR
utmost to please the powers. His visit
to Pekln Is apparently indefinitely post
poned. Preparing: to Take Forts.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 6 The British river
gunboat Woodcock has gone to Hankow
to survey the Han River. It is significant
of future events, regarding the capture
of the Chinese court, that the British
river gunboat Woodlark Is surveying a
landing place near the Kang Ylng forts.
Ninth. Leaving: Pekln.
PJHKIN, Tuesday, Oct. 2 The Ninth Bri
gade is leaving here. The Twenty-first
Japanese Brigade will remain at Pekln
and Tien Tsln.
RnnxianH Leave the Summer Palace.
PEKIN, Oct. 1. The Russians have
evacuated the Summer Palace.
TRADE BAD IN EUROPE.
Overproduction Tells on the Conti
nentFactories on Short Time.
The crisis in the German textile trade
is spreading. One manufacturer after an
other haa stopped production for an In
definite time, or has dismissed halt his
hands and cut dow n the working hours of
the remainder, pays the Berlin corre
spondent of the LondonDally Mall.
Overproduction, due to the rapid prog
ress of European trade and to the growth
of trade In other countries, such as India,
which in former years merely supplied the
raw material, is the disease afflicting the
textile trade.
And with overproduction has come a
decline In export business with the United
States, owing to the protectionist policy
of that country. An urgent appeal has
been made by the Chamber of Commerce
of Germany to the Government to take
energetic measures against this tariff pol
icy and against what It declares to De still
more damaging the arbitrary and vexa
tious action of the American Custom
Houses. The crisis Is spreading through the
whole of Germany. In Saxony some of
the carpet makers are working only four
days a week. In Central Germany dis
missals on a large scale are reported. Still
worse is the state of affairs in Silesia,
where dismissals and short hours are
combired.
Nbr is Western Germany In any better
state. The silk weavers of JCrefeld have
dismissed one-third of their hands and
the rest are working short time. In Aix-;a-Chapelle,
2000 hands are out of em-'
ployment. The only bright spot is the
velvet Industry, which still keeps up its
production.
From Alsatla In the west to Silesia In
the east the cry Is the same overpro
duction. .
The war has naturally had a bad effect
on trade, more particularly on the iron
trade. India, for instance, has been con
structing numbers of rice mills, and has
bought the machines In Thuringia, Since
the troubles In China arose this progress
has ceased.
WHAT IS A TRUST?
All Kinds of Baslness Corporations
Attacked by Bryan.
Chicago Tribune.
It is not impossible that for the next 30
days Mr. Bryan will make the "trusts"
his theme. Many Democratic speakers
and papers will follow his example. It
may be the prearranged plan of the
Democratic National Committee that they
shall do so. If that is to be the case,
those who are to discuss "trusts" should
agree on some precise definition of that
word- It would be a great assistance to
the listeners to anti-trust speeches and
readers of anti-trust editorials If they
knew what a "trust" Is and where the
"trusts" are to be found.
At present there is a remarkable di
versity of opinion regarding this matter.
Senator Hanna says he "does not believe
there Is such a thing as a trust In the
United States." Most men will deem this
altogether too sweeping a statement.
Somo of his friends will scarcely under
stand what he means. Some of his op
ponents understand him to mean that
there are no longer any monopoly com
bines which have what a. lawyer would
call a "trust" form of organization. That
is indeed the case. Corporations which de
sire unity of control no longer transfer
their interests to some other corporation
which acts as trustee for all and man
ages the affairs of alL Corporations
consolidate now, wnere they once formed
a "trust." .
People do not generally use the word
"trust" In Its legal sense. Many mean
by it a large Industrial company built up
by the consolidation of a number of tho
companies engaged in a particular busi
ness, and they often assume that such a
consolidation Is harmful. One of Senator
Hanna's critics gives a more precise defi
nition. He says most people mean by
trusts "a combination or consolidation of
establishments embraced In any given
branch of production, powerful enough
practically to control output and prices."
If this Is the definition which Is accept
ed by Mr. Bryan and other Democratic
anti-trust orators, it would be well for
them to enumerate some of the organ
izations which may properly be called
"trusts." This enumeration will have
more effect on the people If It can be
shown that these organizations have re
stricted output and thereby restricted con
sumption, and have raised prices. The
best evidence of the power of a com
bination to control output and prices la
the evidence that It has done so. Where
that Is lacking the power of the combin
ation is merely alleged, not proved.
There are many consolidated companies
which are popularly called "trusts" which
have not restricted the output. They
have welcomed Increased consumption be
cause it enabled them to make more
money. Nor, If able to control prices,
have they always used their power to in
crease them. This Is true of some of the
steel combines. The price of steel was
lower here Immediately after the Illinois
Steel Company was formed than It was
before that company was organ z:d. If tne
Carnegie Company has the power to con
trol prices It has not always exercised
that power. Its prices have not been
the highest when it was the strongest.
In fact, it has obtained Its ascendency In
the markets by underselling competitors.
The Biscuit Company may be said to have
a monopoly, but is there evidence that It
has so controlled prices as to restrict con
sumption? A control which Increases
consumption may not be objected to.
The anthracite coal roads are called a
"trust." No doubt they act In unison.
They are in a combine at this time partic
ularly odious. They manage to agree as
to prices. But when the evidence that
they have made an agreement which the
law can take hold of is asked for it is not
forthcoming. Men will "think alike"
sometimes, even as to the prices which
they ask for their goods. No law whlcn
Congress can pass and the President sign
can prevent their doing so. There Is no
way under the Constitution and laws In
which this combine oan be broken up.
Here is a case ot'a "trust," according to
the popular definition, which not even .Na
tional legislation can reach. Nor is It
easy to see what National legislation can
be devised to dissolve the most powerful
of all the so-called "trusts" the Standard
Oil Company.
The Bryanltes who are denouncing
"trusts" and asking to be given power
that they may destroy them ought to sub
mit a list of the corporations they think
should be wiped out, because, for reasons
which should be stated, their existence Is
dangerous to the public welfare. They
should explain also in detail what Federal
legislation they propose and show how
It can be made effectual either to destroy
or control the trusts complained of. Theso
are some of the things the people might
well be informed of before the elections.
Messenger Baxter Rewarded.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 6. The Bur
lington tonight sent to Express Messen
ger Baxter, of Kansas City, a warm let
ter of commendation for his courageous
act In frustrating tho hold-up near Coun
cil Bluffs by shooting and killing one of
the robbers. The letter also contained a
draft for $500, as further evidence of ap
preciation. Baxter will also probably be
rewarded by the Adams Express Com
pany, by whom he was employed.
War Department Opinion.
WASHINGTON, Oct G. The War De
partment has approved an exhaustive
opinion by Judge Advocate-General L'eber
to the effect that absentees from a volun
teer regiment, save prisoners of war, are
discharged from the service on the same
date upon which their organization, is
mustered out. The decision was important
as affecting the pay and status of many
officers serving on detached duty,

CROSSED THE OHIO RIVER
BRYAN SPOKES LAST NIGHT
IOUISVJLLE.
IN
During the Day the Candidate Made
Fonrteea Speeches 1b Ohio
Towns.
LOUISVILLE, "Ky Oct. 6. Mr. Bryan
concluded his day's work with a speech
tonight to an audience that filled the
big auditorium to .its utmost Bryan was
introduced by ex - Governor J. B. Mo-Creary-
It was several minutes before
the nominee could begin" his- speech, and
the demonstration paid him was enthu
siastic in the extreme. Mr. Bryan began
by saying:
"I believe with our party that impe
rialism is the paramount Issue, but if any
Republican wants to believe that some
QUARTER OF A YARD OF REPUBLICANS.
f,,A,.(Ws,10. Za
QUARTER OF A YARD OF DEMOCRA TS.
other issue is the paramount one, I am
perfectly willing he shall do so, If he is
prepared to defend his opinion, but if a
Republican tells you that the gold stand
ard Is more Important than the standard
of government, he does not mean that it
Is, but he simply proves that he has a
very sordid Idea of public questions."
Mr. Bryan then took up the subjects of
trusts, imperialism and militarism, dis
cussing them along the same general lines
as In previous speeches.
Mr. Bryan will leave at 2:30 A. M. for
Salem, where he will spend Sunday with
relatives. , He made 14 speeches during
dthe day before crossing the Ohio River.
These speeches -were made at Plalnfield,
Greencastle,. Brazil, Terre Haute, Lewis,
Linton, Elnora, Washington, Shoals, Mu
chol, Orleans, Salem, . New Albany and
Jeffersonville. His audiences were all
large, except at the .very small towns.
At all tne stopping places great enthu
siasm was dlsplayed and the people fol
lowed him ruthlessly In crowds. At Lin
ton Mr. Bryan said:
"Republicans, you want the splendor of
ary empire; we want happiness of a self
governing and a contented people. You
want the American trumpet to be heard
around the world; we want the sun of
liberty to shine so It will be seen around
the world. You want this nation to come
out as a bully; you want this nation to
jump onto lnferoclous people, as you call
them; you want the nation to purchase
trade with American blood. You say it
will pay. How much Is a man worth
in trade? Two thousand dead bodies have
floated back across the Pacific. How
much are they worth in trade? How much
is one of your son worth? I aok you,
fathers and mothers, how much is one of
your sons worth, measured In trade?.
'T believe In Almighty God. I believe
he knows the thoughts and purposes of
men, but I am not willing to blame God
for evil thoughts. If I thought in my
heart an Impulse to do good, I would trace
it to God; if I felt In my heart an Impulse
to do bad, I would not lay It to him. You
must distinguish between temptation and
opportunity. Temptation comes to do
wrong; opportunity comes to do good.
But you, at your peril, must decide
whether It is a temptation or an oppor-
tnnitv- Tpmntfltlnnn hnvp (vittia In thr '
past. Sometimes men have yielded to
- -" -- --.. .. . w-..v ... w t
temptation and fallen from their high es
tates; sometimes they have bested and
made them stepping stones to grander
things. The Bible-tells us that 1900 years
ago Satan took the Saviour on to a high
mountain and offered him the kingdoms
of the earth If he would fall down and
worship him; but Christ said: 'Get thee
behind me, Satan.' The Republican party
was taken upon a high mountain and
shown the Philippine Island, but It did
not have the courage to resist temptation.
Instead of saying, 'Get thee behind me,
Satan,' It looked up to the Spanish mon
archy and said: 'We'll give you $50 for
those fellows.' Today you will find men
are p"reaching the gospel of force. I am
amazed, when I hear a preacher shouting
for the' doctrine that makes this Nation
the exponent of brute force. Do they for
get that when the angele came to an
nounce the birth of Christ they came not
to soldiers In battle array, but to such
herders as kept their flocks by night?
Do they forget that It was not a call to
arms, but a message of 'peace on earth,
good will toward men'?"
Mr. Bryan arrived at Washington an
hour behind schedule. He found a wildly
enthusiastic crowd of immense propor
tions awaiting his coming. He spoke for
half an hour, and almost every sentence
was punctuated with cheers. Only the
Army contractors and the trust magnates
were, he said, getting any benefit from
the Republican policies. The man who
works with brain and muscle what
chance was there for hhn to get any
thing out of it?
In connection with his discussion of the
trusts at Washington, Mr. Bryan stated
that he had Just received a telegram call
ing his attention to the fact that his In
dianapolis speech had made him say that
all the stockholders of the ice trust were
Republicans. He said that he had not
Intended to make that statement, but to
say that all the directors of that com
pany were Republicans. This latter state
ment, he said, was true, but he did not
know about the stockholders. While the
records give the facts as to the dlreotors,
there Is no way of ascertaining who the
stockholders are, so far as he knows.
In the course of his remarks, Mr. Bryan
asked if there had been any revelation of
the will of the Almighty concerning the
Philippines, and, If so to whom It had been
made? Some one In tho crowd suggested
Hanna, Mr. Bryah responded to this

with Mr. Hanna. Indeed," he said, "he
Is one of the best friends we have: one
of the best object-lessons of the degen
eracy of the Republican party."
At Salem Mr. Bryan said that he wanted
to present some evidence that the Re
publican party Is not willing to trust to
the judgment of the American people. He
then said:
"I have read recently an editorial that
was published In the Omaha World
Herald, which Is attributed to me, on the
pension question, and yet It was published
two years before I became connected with
that paper. It was sent all over the coun
try In 189C, and I was charged with being
its author after I had denied It and ex
plained that at the time the editorial
appeared I had no connection with the
paper: yet today that editorial Is being
reprinted and is doing service again
among the Republicans. They have gone
through four years of my record -in Con
gess, and have never been able to find
anything upon which to base an argu
ment that I was not a friend of the old
soldiers In the United States. But the
Republicans must be excused for endeav
oring to find something against mo on
the proposition, and all I need to Say in ;
reply is that if I am elected I will not
have to search very, long or search very
far to find a Commissioner of Pensions
who will be more satisfactory than the
present Commissioner."
His Early Speeches.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct 6. The
"Bryan train left Indianapolis this morn
ing for the second day of the Presiden
tial candidate's tour of the state. Na
tional Committeeman Taggart was one of
the party. The first stop was at Plain
fleld, Hendricks County, where Mr. Bryan
spoke for five minutes. He discussed
trusts and told the people they had the
remedy for them in their own hands.
Referring to the Philippines, he said that
if it was not right for one man to steal a
pocketbook, it was nof right for many
men to steal 1200 islands.
At Greencastle, the seat of the Depauw
University, Mr. Bryan addressed himself
especially to the university students, say
ing he thougth the present conditions ap
peal especially to young men. He warned
them against trusts, saying that any sys
tem calculated to curtail opportunities for
individual endeavor and doom the bulk of
,
I,

the aspiring young men' of the country
to perpetual clerkships, was to be un
reservedly condemned. He also spoke, oi
the Increase of the standing army and
the tendency to Imperialism as subjects
in which the" youth of the land are es
peclally interested. Referring to the pos
sibilities in case of permanent exterfslon
of our Government to the Philippines, Mr.
Bryan asked:
"If the carpet-baggers steal In Cuba,
only 2C0 miles away, what cannot be ex
pected of them In the Philippines, 7000
miles distant?"
He declared, "You can't raise people up
by sitting down on them," and pleadeu
that the Filipinos should be given a fair
chance In the race of life. He declared
the Republicans have no, plans for tho
Philippines. On the contrary, the Demo
crats had a -well-defined . plan. They
would have the Philippines treated as the
President has promised to treat the Cu
bans; In other words, would have them
given their liberty. Then he would have
the United States stand by them like an
elder brother.
At Brazil Mr. Bryan spoke for half an
hour to a large audience, composed large
ly of coal miners. His speech was de
voted to labor questions. He said, in
part:
"When we ask the Republicans today to
defend Imperialism they tell us there la
really no such thing; when we ask them
to defend militarism they tell us thoro
is no such thing. When we ask them
what they are going to do on the trust
quostlon Mr. Hanna replies that he does
not believe tnere are any trusts. Thb
trust question was before tho people
somo In 189G, but not much. It was be-
fore us In principle, but we have had a
great many applications of the principle
since, and the people know more about it
now than they did then. Somo thought
then the trust did not amount to any
thing. "When, under a Democratic adminl.
tratlon, a mill closed down, every paper
would point to the closing down of the
mm as th effect of a low tariff, but now
a trust will buy up a mill and close it
down, and the Republican who knows his
party Is responsible for the trust cannot
, , i a. r. ,i
Rnv- n Wnrn jinrmr. lr. 'in innnnnET men
suffer and the trust makes money. If we
get control of the government we will
drive the trusts out of all the states."
At -Terre Haute Mr. Bryan spoke for
half an hour. He said the reason why
more time was spent in the discussion of
Imperialism than of the money question
was found In the relative Importance of
the questions; It was not due to a change
of heart upon finance. If there were new
questions to discuss in this campaign, tin
Republican party had only itself to blame.
Mr. Bryan said If the President can
ignore the Constitution when he deala
with the Porto Rlcans, he can Ignore It
when he deals with the people. The
same power that could force the Porto
Rlcan bill through Congress and through
the White House can compel the sub
jugatioa of the people when the time
arrives for it.
"If we are going Into the business of
holding colonies," said he, "we should
begin by apologizing for the war of tho
Revolution. How are you going to de
fend your policy If you denounce the
British system? England only wanted to
assert a right to govern people of her
own blood within S000 miles of her own
shore, when we want to go 7000 miles
away and subjugate an entirely alien race
In a country so far away that before the
Spanish war no Republican could have
told whether they were In the Eastern or
Western hemisphere."
At LeTvls and Linton.
ELNORA. Ind., Oct. 6 Mr. Bryan made
two stops between Terre Haute and this
place, at Lewis and Linton. At Lewis
a short rain fell while he spoke, but
the crowd held Its ground. Here he Im
pressed upon the people the importance
ot electing a Democratic Congressman.
He said on that point:
"Send down to Congress a man who
will vote against government by Injunc
tion; who will vote for arbitration be
tween labor and capital; who will vote to
give labor a representative In the Cabi
net; who will vote against private mo
nopolies In every form; who will vote for
a small standing army and a citizen sol
diery, ready to respond to its country's
call, and who will vote against a colonial
policy."
Rain was still falling when Mr. Bryan
reached Linton, but he had an immenso
audience, notwithstanding he spoke in tho
open air. Many of the people were In wet
clothes, and the ground on which tliey
stood was very muddy, yet thoy stool
patiently during Mr. Bryan's speech,
which was over 40 minutes. His speech
was a general review of -the situation.
Speaking of the income tax question, Mr.
Bryan said:
".The Republican party has placed a tax
on consumption, and when we wanted an
Income tax the wealthy men of this coun
try fought it. They said that an income
tax makes people He. But if a man at
tempts to lie when you try to t5x him, I
say, make the law so that you can punish
liars until they quit lying. When you
place a tax upon consumption, you make
men pay according to what they warn,
not according to what thoy have, and
men's wants are more nearly equal than
their possessions, because God gave us
our wants and he was democratic ana
gave us about the same wants, but the
Republican party Is largely responsible
for the possessions of people and for the
Inequality of possessions, and they ar
not democratic,"
On the tariff he said:
"You will be told that the protective
tariff la levied for the benefit of the la
boring men, but if you will look lri sum-
mer resorts you will find there .he bene

ficlaries of protection, but ydu people
never meet them there. You do not get
the blessings of a high tariff. It was
never levied for the benefit of the pro
ducer of wealth. It was levied for those
who call themselves the capltalns of in
dustry, but it is as in tho army, where
the officer-gets the glory and the big pay
and the private does the work and gets
little reward."
A FALSE PROPHET.
Bryan In 1890 Discredits Sayinss of
Bryan in 1000.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Mr. Bryan Is now declaring that Mc
Kinley's re-election will endanger the Re
public. In 1896 Mr. Bryan predicted: "If
McKlnley and the Republican party are
successful and put In power for the next
four years wages will be decreased, hara
tlmeB will come upon us, and over tho
land the price of wheat will go down
and the price of gold will go up." This
prophecy was repeated again and again.
Thousands of people heard Mr. Bryan
make this declaration. Wages did not
go down, hard times which were upon us
were dispelled and did not return. The
price of wheat went up Instead of down.
The price of gold did not go up.
Again Mr. Bryan said: "Mortgages on
our homes will be foreclosed by the
money lenders. Shops and factories will
close." No prediction could have been
further from the truth. Never before
In our history were so many mortgages
paid. Never before was there such ac
tivity in shop and factory. Instead of
closing, mills and factories that had been
closed were opened, new ones were built
and all have been running on full time
ever since.
Another prediction of Mr. Bryans was:
"We will export no goods, and we will
Import from foreign lands nil the goods
we use. Thus will ruin, want and misery
be with us." What was the truth? We
exported more goods In the three years
following than in any previous three
years of the Nation's history. Our excess
of exports over Imports In these three
years was nearly four times as much a3
the entire excess of exports over Imports
from 1790 to the day of McKlnley's in
auguration. In the last year of Cleve
land's Administration our Imports of man
ufactured articles were 21 per cent of
the whole. In 1698 and 1899 the per cent
