While the document la open tc the construction of being a rej. ctlon of U Hung Chung", prop onltlon for Immediate negotiation, yet It la tnted by thoee who have read the an.tv.r with care and have had part In Ita preparation that rejection la probably too atrong a term to ap ply to It. The United State, place.

It Is .tated. however, that the ,rily la a atip In the dlrertlon of opening ncgo tlatlona. The meat Important development of the diy, a. to actual condition. In Pekln. came late lr the afternoon, when the .tat department received a dispatch from Minister Conger, dat ed Pekln only three day. ago. Congir'a meaeage wa particularly welcome to the official. In showing Ivjw completely the entire city I. domi nated by the alii". He state, that It l occupied throughout, and that It 1. blng dUtilcte! for po'le miper vlKion. This In.t nieasmre? ahown the thoroughne.s with which the allies are applying civil method, to the Chinese capital. Minister Conger makes no mention of his d-'slre to come home, and It Is stated officially that thi. government has made no suggestion that he return to this country. Almost as Important an the Pekln new. was the statement that the Box ers are ' again concentrating around TU n Tsln, and that last Sunday morn ing the Sixth cavalry with about 400 English and .Tapaneae troops had a lively brush with Boxer, eight miles outside of Tien Tsln, when about one hundred Chinese were killed and Ave American, wounded. The most Important dispatch of the day wa. not made public by the war department, but waa the subject of an extended conference at the White House this morning.

The prospect opt-ned by Vleneral Chaf fee's dispatch Is that the American cotitlngi-nt of necfsnlty will be detain ed In China for some tlm to come, probably for the whole winter.

BRYAN ARRAIGNS REPUBLICAN PARTY Wants to Replace American Flag With One of a Republic. FOUR SPEECHES YESTERDAY SUrtf Windmill Early u4 Keep Filling the Air All Dr-Grs Hustle lor lb. Ptttiittcj Has N'sw Bern. Is Earnest. FALLS CITV, Neb., Aug. 22.-Thls haj been a busy day for Dryan. He may be said to have begun the day btfore yesterday closed, for it wa. aftT 1 o'clock thi. morning when he reached Auburn, his first stopping riate after leaving Lincoln. Getting a few hours .leep there he was pri-pareu to commence the day early. He began his speech at Au burn shortly after 8 o'clock. There he made an hour's address, the first swe"h of a series scheduled for the First Congressional District of Nebras ka. Tbe meeting was held In the cou'U hour grounds, nnd in spite of a light rain a good crowd was present. Th rongresalonal dlxtrk t was represented !by Mr. Bryan In congress and has. since his retirement, been represented br a Republican member. Mr. Bryan made a plea for the elec tion of Hon. O. W. Berger, the Demo cratic candidate for congress; also an appeal for the support cf the whole Den ocntic ticket. Comparing the gov ernment to a corporation, he said all citizens were stockholders, and ns such they owed It to themselves to look after the conduct of the directors. He charged the Republican administration, the government directors, with deceit In all policies. They were asserting that the financial question was his year the paramount issue only because the... Republican- party regarded the dollar of more consequence than the man. He dwlt upon liberty as a God given right, saying the Filipinos were as much entitled to It as we are. In promising them a good govern .nont, we are only promising what kings promised under similar circum stances. We have, he asserted, no title to the Philippine islands according to the Declaration of Independence. In the first place Spain had no title, and In tb second plac? we cannot buy peo ple, nor was It any more profitable than wise to wag? foreign conquest. Alrtady more had been spent In the way of treasure In the Philippines, to say nothing of blood, than the profits of tradi with those Islands for many years would amount to. The flag had been haul?d down In Mexico, and the Mexican pepl were better off with their own government than they would be with an American carpet-bag gov ernment in that country. Jlr. Bryan sharply criticised the Re publican party for its alleged incon sistency in th position formerly Tak en on the questions of militarism, mon ey and trusts and the position now tak en en those questions, and, continuing, said: "The same spirit that carries you to the Philippines will lead you Into some other place snd make you hold those people and make them subjects against their will. The same sDlrlt of militarism .and imperialism that car ried you to the Philippine, will carry you wherever you can And a people weak enough to be whipped by the Unit! States. The doctrine of Im perialism la the doctrine of the bully and the coward. It is the doctrine which takes people under the pretense that you are taking them for their good, and you reach your hands in truir pockets and rob them while you i are taking them. Republicans, your jpapors tell you that the Filipinos are ravages, you dare not say it because you do not arm savage, and turn them out t fight people. "They say w e 'cannot haul down the flag In the Philippine, once ft is rais ed there. Even this f dmlnlstratlon does not find any trouble or difficulty in hauling down the flag In Alaska. I suppose they rontend that in n cold climate you can haul It down, but that you can't In a hot climate. The Amer ican fiag represents the purpose of the American people. No one can haul our flag down against our will, but the American people have a right to put it up where they want It, and to take it down where they desire. "The flay Is the servant of the Na tion, the peorle are not the servants of the flag. If that Is true, how are you going to bring the American troops back from Pekln? They planted the flag there. I want the American Hag to come down from the Philippine isl ands in order that the flag of a re public mlKht rise In its place. I would rather that we have two flags rep resenting two republics than one rep resenting an empire." After the address he was driven rap idly to the depot where he was com pelled to wait 50 minutes for a delayed train to take him to Tecumseh, the next stofplng plaei. At Tecum h he spoke briefly, and after taking a has. ty dinner started upon a 12-mlle drive acros country to Pawne?. This drive was made by mean, of three relays. In two hours, and It was apparently pleasing dlvfrslon for Bryan. At Paw nee, a at Aubum and Tecumseh, tVre was a good attendance, as there was also at the night meeting held at this point. Th day meetings were all held In grove, or courthouses of the counties. OOEBEL MCRDER CASK. Oth'r Susrxcts Were Continued Till the October Term of Court and Allowed Bonds. . OKORGETOWN. Ky.. Aug. 22.
