Chicago, Sept. I'm an interview this
afternoon VIM. j. Bryan said:
Il am perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit of my trip East, and my observation
is not based simply on impressions form
ed from the rostrum. To address people
by the tens of thousands as I have done
since leaving Chicago would naturally
carry with it the impression that the au-
dlences addressed were swayed by the ut
terances delivered y speaker is apt to
be carried away by such an idea. But
when ! say that | am satisfied with my
trip East do not mean that my observa-
tions from the speakers stand have led
me to suppose that the largest audiences
whom have addressed We're carried with
the principles advocated, as their applause
would appear to Indicate. My estimate
is based on entirely different sources
people whom | have met and who
have mingled with audiences at Demo
cratic gatherings have voluntarily come
forward to assure me that the sentiment
was veering around toward the Demo
cratic platform. | have taken occasion
after leaving the speakers stand to talk
with men whom observed in the audi
ences on the doubtful seat, if might so
express myself, regarding the currency
question. Such men have come to me
80 W. nav = S-N plSSoCA IlCulSClNCS
as more than half convinced that the
tenets of the Chicago platform were after
all the truest in the popular interest.
Others have come to me, men who even
disagree with our party principles, and
have assured me that the change in SEN
timent toward the free coinage of silver
was something they had never seen the
like of. Added to this, .the appreciation
which every public speaker cannot fail to
discern in the eyes of n sympathetic audi
ence has convinced me that large pro-
portion of the people whom l have adj
dressed have been impelled to applaud,
not out of sympathy with the speaker,
but out of appreciation of the truths spo-
ken. If n speaker be qualified to judge
of the effect of his speeches on audiences
then think that without egotism I may
say the people whom L have met and adj
dressed are far more enthusiastic in
favor of free silver than they were when
the campaign began.''

i
Shanghai, Sept. 4.-There are reports i'm
circulation here among people of the
highest authority, which, if correct, show
that the travels of Ii Hung Chang in
Europe are likely to have in the imme-
date future most important effect upon
the policy OF the Chinese ssgovernment,
and that the Chinese empire will shortly
be thrown open to free trade with the rest
of the world.
When the great Chinese statesman was
in England an sotlcial attached to his
staff said that the main object of the
viccroy's tour was to sound the Euro
pean governments regarding an increase
III the customs tariH. He added that it
was understood that Russia, Germany
and France were favorable to the in
crease, but that the Marquis of Salisbury
wanted time to consider the matter and
that he had brought forward several i'm
portant counter-propoSitions
W hat the proposals of Lord Salisbury
were is question probably known to but
few people. On the other hand it is as
serted here by people who are in n posi-
ton to have. accurate information regard
ing the policy of the Chinese govern
ment, that the latter is inclined to con
cede the condition set forth by Lord Sal
lsbury, and that as n preliminary agree
ment there will be an increase in the tax.
all transit lues in the interior of China
will be abolished, and that later on free
trade will be established throughout the
Chinese empire
The preliminary increase in the tariff
Is looked upon as being necessary, as a
loan must be secured in some manner,
and the customs dues are regarded as be-
ing the best security possible under the
circumstances.
1t is also intimated that if Great
Britain advances the money required by
emma, the latter, as n sort of bonus will
place orders for number of .battleships,
cruisers and torpedo boats of various de-
scriptions in British shipyards and, fur.
ther, British officers may be detailed to
reorganize the Chinese army. 1t was at
first proposed to cntrust this task to Ger
man officers, but it is believed that Lii
Hung Chang, while in Germany, was not
successful in driving the bargains which
he contemplated.
OF course this is decidedly English
view of the case and may he modified by
future events, for n great deal depends
still upon the action of III Hung Chang
when he returns to China, and the ma
ture of the report which he will furnish
for the decision of the emperor.
Finally, it is understood that the Chi
nese government has practically decided
to take steps at an early date to make Il
considerable extension in the railroads of
the empire, and a foreign railway board
organized on the basis of foreign Gus
toms commission, may he entrusted with
this task The emperor OF China is
known to be .favorably disposed toward
the extension of the railway service OF
China and with free trade, the abolish
ment of all transit dues and an improved
system of railroads, the travels of Lii

ehlng China into new life and prosper
ity and open to the commerce of the
worlds markets. which has heretofore

He Cannot Swallow the Financial Plank
of the Republican Party.

San Diego, Cal, Sept AT the Pop

sation was caused byI. Wade Macdonald,
one of the delegates, reading the following
from Jesse r. Grant, son of Gen. U. S.
Grant:
"San Diego, Cal, Sept. 4, 1896.
My Dear Judge: l have noticed with
much interest your withdrawal from the
Democratic party and espousal of the
Peoples party. This action meets my
approval, since have concluded to enroll
myself in the same cause. The financial
plank in the Republican platform must
drive from that party anyone who believes
as do and the anarchial plank in the
Democratic platform must lose to it any
person who believes in the protection of
American citizens ut home rs well as
abroad. The platform of the Peoples
party has on the contrary no objectiona-
BILE principles and seems to offer politi-
cal home that any American can proudly
enter. Yours truly,
