What Russia undertook to do she did. Her policy haa been open and perfectly simple from the first. "So far from having designs upon Manchuria, Russia' frontier In that part waa not properly protected. We were so unprepared that we had to sub mit to being attacked and bombarded. Does that look like our being prepared to annex Manchuria? 'Our ministers and our people were In great danger in Pektn. It was our duty to relieve them. We undertook to do si and we achieved their rescue. 'Rut Pekln from that moment had no further Importance because It waa no longer the seat of the Chinese govrn ment.

To whatever cause this attitude la due, it is a bad augury for the progress of the negotiations, which cannot be fruit ful until China haa been taught her place. M. Pichon has given her the an swer her Impudence deserves." The Shanghai correspondent of the Times, wiring yesterday, says: "The taotal has applied to the con sula to arrest over six hundred Chinese who realde In the foreign settlement, on a charge of coiUTMraey. Those nam ed Include several well-known China men whose only crime Is that they pos sess progressive Ideas. "This demand is significant of the growing Influence of the anti-foreign party. The feet that a tribute of rice Is regularly shipped up the Yangtse Klang proves that the viceroys are still supporting the empress dowager." should there be iny talk of taking away territory from her? "Aa regards our policy my august master haa decided upon all the ques tions that have cotne before him In this Chinese question In a perfect'.y straight forward manner, his sole object being after fully weighing each matter to ar rive at a Just and upright conclusion. That la his nature. His minister of for eign affairs tried bis utmost to cany out those imperial .eoncluai-jna to the best of his ability. "If other power, w or any of 'he ere to think it rig-it to pusji matters and annex Chinese territory, then Rus sia would have to c me In and hold h-r own. That is not what Russia wishes.

He had nx got far whon It became evident that he would not be allowed to go on without Interruption. There were shouts and Mr. Bryan met them with the Intimation :hat It waa an effort to prevent free speech. After this the in terruption took the shape of questions about the Philippines, remedies for trust, the rac question In the South, the ice trust and the free coinage of silver. Replying to the last question Bryan said he stood now where President McKinley had formerly stood on that question and that his (Mr. Bryan's) po- tsitlon on that and all other questions was explained by the Kansas City Platform. .

A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Lord Salisbury. It Is an open secret In British diplomatic circles, wishes the emperor of China to return to Pekln as soon as possible so that peace negotia tions can be opened and a settlement reached without the necessity for a pro longed military occupation of the capi tal. While he is acting with the European powers and Japan, he is not likely to object ti any measures by which Kwang Hsu can be Induced to return to Pekln under special guarantees from the Unit ed States government. Both Lord Sal isbury and the German emperor will welcome any arrangement by which the powers can be brought Into diplo matic relations with the emperor of China. The American government la no long er critlclaed by tho English press for Its Independent action In China. The truth Is recognized that the state de partment Is In better position than the European foreign offices for dealing with the Chinese government, since its ulterior moves are not distrusted and there Is no apprehension of American annexation. RUSSIA'S POLICY.

In the West there Is not the same hes itation and there, as well as in (the South, the marketing of crops Is responsible for a feeling of much con fidence In the movement of business if the Nation accounts conservatively at the polls. The prices of commodities are weaker and the caution, so gratifying in a presidential year, keeps speculation at the minimum. . The failures for the week were 209 GERMANY DISTRUSTED. NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-Distrus of Germany's attitude In China has been revived as a result of Information re ceived here al.owing the hostility of the Berlin government to a policy of con ciliation in the settlement of the far Eastern question, says a Washington correspondent of the Herald. It is learned that the recall of Baron in the United States as against 143 !ast on Speck Sternberg, the charge d'af faires, was due to his efforts to smooth the road looking to a prompt peaceful solution of the Chinese trouble. Baron Von Sternberg returned to Berlin on the steamer Deutschland. Among the friends of Baron Von Sternberg In the official circles here deep surprise was felt whn the news of his removal from Washington was first noised about. His relations with the administration were of the most cordial character and the officials gen erally conceded that he was doing much to make a satisfactory solution In China possible. Exact details as to Baron Von Stern berg's recall are impossible to obtain, as none of the officials of the German emuassy win tain about the matter and the state department does not beem to be fully advised on the subject. It is known, however, that Baron Von Sternberg while endeavoring to carry out the several Instructions he had re ceived presented proposals to this gov ernment In a more conciliatory fashion than the Berlin authorities had con templated. Being on the ground, Baron Von Sternberg appreciated that it would be advisable In the interest of harmonious relations between both gov ernment for him to be less positive than his instructions required. Officials here are very deeply grieved over Baron Von Sternberg's recall as they say he has certainly aided In pre serving good relations between the two powers. It Is pointed out that If he had acted In an offensive manner the answers made to the German notes would not have been different from those given. Undoubtedly Germany was greatly chagrined by tho refusal of the United States to accede to its prop osition to make the surrender of the Chinese guilty of outrages precedent to negotiations, inasmuch as the atlitud; of this government made the rejection of the proposal certain. It was prob- year, and 26 in Canada as against 20 last year. KENTUCKY ELECTION LAW. Compromise Substitute Accepted Conference Committee. by (Continued on fourth page.)
