PRTAN TO NEGROES. Tells Them to Treat the Filipinos as They Would Like to Be Treated. IIINTON. W. Va.. Oct, 22.-The line of the Chenapeake railroad traversing the picturesque valleys of the Big Kanawha and New rivers waa the scene of Mr. Bryan's campaign today. Speeches were made at Huntington, Hurricane, St. Albans, Charleston, Rrownaton. East Bank, Montgomery, Sow ell. Thurmond and Hinton. The slse of the audiences varied, hut all of them were large In proportion to the population of the town, and of the sur rounding country. The one notable feature of the day was Bryan's repeated reference to the rare question. His line of travel today was further south than he had gone before and further than he will go again, and there was quite a number of colored people scattered through the woods at all his stopping places. Bry an evidently noted their presence and took occasion to address this portion of his admirer, especially appealing to them to do Justice by the Filipinos as they would have Justice done by them selves. Bryan will speak In Maryland tomorrow. SMALLPOX ON BOARD. Passengers on City of Seattle Will Be Two Weeks In Quarantine. SEATTLE. Oct. 22.-A special to the Times from Vancouver. B.

AMERICA FAVORS THE AGREEMENT Anglo-German Policy in Har mony With American. ALSO APPROVED IN EUROPE Secretary Ka Will Is Day or Two Give Formal Reply to larltnloa to Aner. ki to Accept Principles of Ike Atrceaeit. CHARLES HEILB0RN & SON WASHINGTON. Oct. 22. It was au thoritatively stated tonight that the United State government views with distinct favor the principles of the Anglo-German agreement relating to China and that a formal rep)nse to that effect will be made at an early day to the Invitation extended this gov ernment to accept the principles of the agreement. The German charge d'affalrs, Count De Quadt, had a conference with Sec retary Hay thia afternoon, presenting officially the text of the Anglo-German agreement. Including an Invitation to the United States to accept the prin ciples there.a recorded. Mr. Hay expressed his satisfaction at what had been done, saying he felt it to be In complete harmony with the policy this government had pursued. both as to the maintenance of unob structed commerce In China and the ter ritorial entity of the empire ar.d added that a formal reply would be given In a day or two. ENGLISH VIEW OF ALLIANCE. NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-There is much diseusxion of the Anglo-German agree ment but 'here are fresh details, says the London correspondent of the Tri bune. While Russia and France were acting with the oth?r powers It was known that they were In alliance with each other. It is now equally clear that Ger many and England, while anxious to cooperate with the other powers, were also In alliance with each other for definite ends. Diplomatic coaiitioi.-s are not liked, ordinarily, In England, where the very real and trustworthy alliance la believed to be with the colonies within the em pire. "Magnificent isolation" was a phras? which appealed strongly to Brit ish pride. The alliance Is well received by the press because the principles upon which It Is based are warmly approved and also because the obligations and liabilities Imposed by the third article are vaguely understood. But there Is an Instinctive recoil among English men against permanent coalitions with continental powers, useful and honor able as this one may be In the present emergency. The moral support of the principles of this alliance from the state depart ment Is expected with confidence, but the American government's freedom of action and independence of all entang ling alliances will be respected, cer tainly. In England; possibly envied Foreign opinion upon the agreement Is. so far as known, favorable on the whole. It Is difficult to gauge the exact view of the Russian foreign office and no word has yet come from Japan, but It is abundantly clear that Austria ap proves of the new dual alliance. AMERICA'S POSITION. NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Before the United States gives Its ad herenee to the Anglo-German agree- ment. the administration authorities purpose to learn Its exact meaning. The belief la not concealed that the agreement Is the most significant of the recent developments. While the American government is gratified with the first two articles of the convention, reiterating as they do declarations which have been (he key no(e of Secre(ary Hay's policy from the outset of the Chinese trouble, the third article is regarded with suspicion, which Is the more Intense because of Ger many's previous aggressive policy and the action of Great Britain In landing troops at Shanghai. This article specifically declares that "the two contracting parties reserve to themselves the right to come to a pre liminary understanding regarding the eventual steps to be taken for the pro tection of their Interests In China." Be fore the president will give assent to any of the provisions of the Instrument, he will ascertain the purport and scope of the third article. Prior to the publication of this agree ment the belief existed In diplomatic circles that an understanding regarding China existed between Russia and Ger many. This Is now dispelled. It is plain that the one power Germany and Great Britain had In view in making the agreement waa Russia. In diplo matic circles It Is thought not unlikely that Russia will adhere to the agree ment and she will In all likelihood live up to It strictly In order not to give either Germany or Great Britain a pre text for breaking It. The United States can, of course, be depended upon not to make any move to obtain territory, and Japan has re peatedly asserted that she would not Keek Chinese territory unless other na tions lo so. Italy and Austria, bowing to the will of Germany, will give early aoherence to the agreement. Notwith standing the doubts about the real at titude rf Germany and Great Britain. It Is believed here that the course of the United States will have an Import ant bearing on the fate of China. A the attitude of the American govern ment Is Identical with that of the rxar, the United States and Russia together will exert a powerful Influence In pre serving the territorial Integrity of China. There continue to be considerable comment In favor of arbitration of the tnlire Chinese question. In diplomatic circles In particular the suggestion l looked upon aa presenting the most satisfactory method of effecting a solu tion yet advanced. It Is believed that In the negotiations to begin this wek In Pekln there will be sharp dlff-rences of oplnl'ffi, some Irreconcilable, and should these seem Irreconcilable the ad mlnlsfratlon will strongly favor arbi tration. But among some diplomats the qwstlon !s asked, would It not be bet ter to avoid the loss of time Involved In negotiations, w hich will probably le frultleim, by referring the whole matter to arbitration, which must give results the whole world will be bound to ac cept. VIEWS OF AMERICANS. NEW YORK. Oct. 22. Oscar S. Straus, minister to Turkey; said of the Anglo-German agreement respecting China, the terms of which have been made public: 'This agreement between Germany and England Is substantially In the line of policy Instituted by our government under the open door agreement, and I regard It as the best and only possible solution of the Chinese situation. Amer ican diplomacy has gained such recog nltlon as It never had before In the eyes of the world. "Our government will not become party to a formal agreement or conven tion which is outlined between England and Germany, but It can. by an Identi cal note, make known Its acceptance of the terms of such an agreement without binding Itself to taka Joint action with those two powers should any one or more of the great European powers en deavor to partition China. "Doubtless this convention, between England and Germany would not have been made had It not been for their knowledge of our position regarding the open door and for the circular note is sued July 3 by Secretary Hay. It Is my opinion that this plan will sr.lve the China question and. with England, Ger many and the United States practically agreed, the other nations will accept enthusiastically the same terms." Prof. John Basset Moore said: "The policy of the United States In the grave crisis that has arisen In China was expressed In the circular Is sued by the secretary of state on July S last. "Now mark closely how Germany and England have followed along the path marked out by Secretary Hay. "There have been other and great dip lomatic victories to be credited to American statesmen, but It Is eertainly pleasant to dwell upon the fact that right at the close of the century we have pointed a sure way in commerce and free seas." Ex-Senator John B. Henderson, of Missouri, Is quoted In a Washington special to the Herald as saying: "It Is the old malignant grudge that perpetrated the war of the 'Crimea.' But history has now grown into man hood with which it may be dangerous to tritie. At least the Insulting terms which followed the Crimean war can not again he inflicted. "If any nation of the world has gjod cause for asking territorial rights in China It is Russia. The railroad pre lected from Moscow to' the ocean is one necessary to Russia's commerce and her future greatness. "Bill this proclamation is either an empty threat or it is an Insult designed to terminate ell peace negotiations and equally designed and Intended to carry out the secret original Intention of par titioning China. In which England and Germany will turn out to be the most willing participants." That arbitration may be the final means of settling the Chinese difficulty is believed to be very probable by in ternational lawyers at Washington, says the dispatch. Ex-MInlster John A Xas son said he saw nothing to Interfere with following the modern method of submitting the matter to a special tri bunal or arbitration. China would be given representation In this court and he bell-ved she would agree to anything that would not affect her national honor to a degree that any government would revolt at. "There was no question," he said, "but that China waa fully bound by In tel national law." In referring to Russia's course, Mr. Kasson said that while she was the only nation having her territory en croached on by China he had been una ble to see that Russia had any Inten tion of acquiring new territory In China He believed that criticisms to this effect had been unjust.
