DENIsoN, IOWA FRIDAY. AUGUST 70 ,ooo

of che crisis was made more clear by
the publication of the demand made by
the United States on the imperial gov.
ernment of China. The document is as
follows:
1--WE are availing ourselves of the op-
portunity offered by the imperial edict
OF the, 9Th of August, allowing to the
foreign ministers free communication
with their respective governments in
cipher and have sent a communication
to Minister Conger, to which we await
an answer.
I'VE are already advised by him in a
brief dispatch received Aug. Z that i'm
perial troops are firing daily upon the
ministers ia Peking. We demand the
Immediate cessation of hostile attacks
by imperial troops upon the legations
and urge the exercise of every power
and energy OF the imperial government
for the protection of the legations and
all foreigners therein.
1--WE are also advised by the same dis
patch from Minister Conger that, in his
opinion, for the foreign ministers to
leave Peking as proposed in the edict
OF Aug. 2 would be certain death. In
view of the fact that the imperial
troops are now firing upon the lega-
tions, and in view of the doubt ex-
pressed by the imperial government in
its edict of Aug. 2, as to its power to re-
store order and secure absolute safety
IN Peking, it is evident that this appre-
hension is we'll founded, for if your gov
ernment cannot protect our minister in
Peking it will presunptively be unable
to protect him upon a journey from Pc
king to the coast.
1--WE therefore urge upon the imper-
lal government that it shall adopt the
course suggested in the third clause of
the letter of the president to his ma
jesty. the emperor of China, of July %,
and enter into communication with the
relief expedition so that cooperation
may be secured between them for the
liberation Of the legations, the protec-
ton OF foreigners and the restoration of
order. Such action on the part of the
imperial government would be a salts
factory demonstration of it's friendli-
ness and desire to attain these ends"

Dispatch From Terachui.
Hardly less important was dispatch
from General Terauchi, second in com.
mand of the Japanese staff, sent to the
war office of Japan. and transmitted to
the legation here, stating that the in.
ternational army would total $4,000
men OH Aug. 10, at which time the real
advance on Peking would begin. Gen.
eral Terauchi's dispatch stated that on
the 4th, when it was forwarded, the
advance had not yet begun. This was
at first incomprehensible, in view of
the fact that fighting has actually oc-
Cured. But the later statement that
the international force would total so.
QUO men on the 10Th appears to make
clear General Terauchi's meaning and
to reconcile it with General Chaffee's
dispatches. The present movement of
some $4,000 men doubtless is viewed in
the light of reconnaissance in force. the
main movement OF $4,000 to follow on
the 10th. This makes clear the mean.
ing OF General Chaffee's dispatch that
4ang-Tsun was the objective point.
The place is about Is miles beyond Tien

Aside from the assurance this gives a
speedy transmission of news from the
front, it gives the additional assurance
that the line is clear back to the first
base OF operations. The capture of
Yang-Tsun on the. day following the
battle at Pei Tsang is regarded as a
highly successful military achievement,
especially in view of the fact that it
was looked upon as a stronghold, whose
capture might give the foreigners con.
siderable trouble.

The methods by which he compelled Wilson to with draw from the present canvass are mo- torious and they will not help him in the estimation of self-respecting dem Ocrats.
 Since he took the stump Smith has not been able to point Ito a single act of his while a delegate to congress that is calculated to make votes for him now. His record is too ''clean" to be of service to him. He has devoted his time and talents to wilful misrep- resentatiOn of his opponents record a record that is full of deeds helpful to Arizona.

Our advices from the states where interest in the campaign centers is
 that the fight is as good
 OUR as won for Mckinley.
 PLAIN In New York, Indiana,
 DUTY. Illinois, West Virginia
 and other states where the fight has been hottest all signs point to a sweeping republican victory. The Bryanites are makina desperate effort to overcome the situation in New York in order to encourage their ad- herents in the west, but the effort is hopeless and Bryan will soon be flying westward again in the vain hope of heading off the sentiment there created by the eloquence and convincing ar guments of Roosevelt. Hanna. Frye. Beveridge and other noted republicans. Mckinley is certain to be reelected. and when he stands up on March 1, 1901. to renew his oath of office he will have the proud consolation of knowing that a. congress in harmony with his policy will be at his back.
 The people of Arizona should look to it that on election day this territory Is placed squarely in line for statehood. The means is at hand. The election of N. O. Murphy as delegate to congress, coupled with the election of q republi can legislature, will be a plain intima- tiOn to the republican congress and the president that Arizona Is in full sympathy with the paG.y in power It ought t1 be unnec- cessary to say that 1t would be folly to send a democrat to republican congress. He would be unable to turn a wheel in Arzonl's Interest, and state hood would be as remote as il was wh, n Mark Smith was our delegate.
 The question of statehood is purely political. The dominant party, be 1t
