A GREAT BATTLE.
sians-Lord BeresfOrd's Opinion of
the Importance of, the Affair.

Peking, Feb. 2O..-A serious conflict
has taken place between the Russians
and Chinese at Talienwan, 300 of the
latter being killed. 1t is said to have
originated in question of taxes.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. 20.-Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, en- route from
Chicago to the east, was seen in pass
ing through Detroit Sunday night in
reference to the battle reported, at
Talienwan between Russians and Chi
nese. Lord Charles, after reading the
dispatch, said that such a battle was
only what he had been expecting for
some time: Its effect, he believed, would
be to shake the Chinese government
more than anything that has occurred,
and he asserted that trade would also
suffer severely as a result of it. AS to
the statement that the origin of the
trouble concerned question of taxes,
his lordship said that he did not under
stand how that could be the case unless
the Russians had very recently begun
taxing the Chinese. He thought it
more likely that the Russians may have
taken Chinese land for military pur-
poses and not paid what the natives
considered full values for it. AS the
Chinese never differentiate between
foreigners, considering all alike, Lord
Charles said that this incident will
work as much harm to British and
American interests as to Russia: "Rus-
STA has obtained such hold in Man.
churia,' . said his lordship, shat con-
slider it extremely improbable that. no
matter what may be the final DISPOSE
ton of China, Russia will ever be
driven out. - =, = e -. "ra.. - - -

BRYAN SPEAKS
ON DEMOCRACY.

Harmony in Democratic Ranks Can Only be

ord Aen.roy,,pe
and Aspirations.

Topeka, Kansas, March 30.-A Demo
cratic conference and banquet under the
auspices of the Democratic State Com
mittee. was held in this city this even
ing.
Prominent speakers, including Colonel
w. j. Bryan, of Nebraska; Champ
Clark, of Missouri: Allen O. Micrs. of
Ohio, and Sydney Clark, of Oklahoma.
were present. More than 4 Thousand
persons were invited.
The meeting was in the nature of Il
conference of Democratic leaders. the
policy of the party in the campaign of
1900 being touched on.
Mr. Bryan himself was given the most
prominent place., his subject being
Democracy"
Mr.. Bryan stood out squarely for the
Chicago platform. and said that there
had been no retreat from the positions
taken i'll 1896.
I'VE are not only holding our own,
he declared. but we are gaining back
those Democrats who left MS without
really understanding the nature of the
struggle.
sometimes we hear pleas for har-
mony from those who opposed the party
in 1885, continued Mr.. Bryan, but
harmony. instead of being thing hoped
for, is at last. thing realized; not a
pretended harmony between those en-
tertaining antagonistic principles, but an
actual harmony between those who are
6,, .,
common enemy. The Democratic party
was never more harmonious, and its
harmony can only be disturbed by adj
hitting within the fold those. who are
at variance with its principles and aspir-
atoms.
THE Democratic platform of 1900
will be written by those who stood upon
the platform of 1896, not by those who
tried to overthrow the Democratic party
in that campaign"
Mr.. Bryan declared that events have
been vindicating the policies proposed by
the Democratic party in 1896.
He then passed ON to the subject of
trusts and characterized them as the
products of Republican methods.
Mr.. Bryan closed with a denunciation
of militarism, and what he termed the
tendency of the present Administration
toward Imperialism.
Champ Clark, of Bowling Green, Mo-.
spoke on. the subject of Prosperity

he was followed by Allen o. Myers, of
