WILHELM MORE MODERATE
NOTHING OF THE "MAILED FIST" IN
HIS SPEECH YESTERDAY.
Russia Said to he Anxious to Use
Troops Now in Peking i'm the
subjcction of Manchuria.

LONDON, Sept. s, Ais a. m.-The Chinese
crisis presents no new feature this morn
ing. Nothing appears to be certain. Re-
garding Russian action various statements
are made In Vienna and Berlin with an as
sumed air of authority. but the balance Of
opinion leans to the belief that Russia is
still inclined to adhere to her decision to
quit Peking, whatever the other powers
may do. The studiously moderate tone of
Emperor Williams speech at Stettip is
much remarked. There was nothing of he
"'maied fst'' or of revenge in his utter
ances.
According to the Standards Moscow cor
respondent, Russias programme mainly
concerns Manchuria, and she needs troops
from Peking to assist in the seizure of that
province, which is looked on as another
Egypt Her withdrawal from Peking is
considered an attempt to pose as sincere
adherent of the principles of The Hague
conference.
A special dispatch received here from
Shanghai says Earl Ii Hung Chang has
made reques. for an American escort to
accompany him on his journey to Peking.
and that United States Consul Goodnow is
considering his request.
Now that proposal more in conformity
with the original American recommends
tion has apparently met with the approba-
tion of at least a majority Of the powers,
the British Foreign Office has allowed it to
become finally known that the British gov
ernment Is of opinion that it is advisable
for the allied forces to remain at Peking
until satisfactory arrangements for peace,
etc, are concluded with the Chinese gov
ernment.
The Tien-Tsin correspondent of the
Standard, wiring Aug. 80, says: 1.-THE Ger
mans paired with the Americans in the
march through the Forbidden City. The
British naval brigade and the marines of
the legation guards left Peking to-day
The Peking correspondent Of the Morning
Post, in dispatch dated Aug. %, says Mr..
Conger has written a letter asserting that.
without the aid of the American mission
aries, the defense of the legations would
have been impossible. According to this
correspondent the United States minister
has received congratulatory kilograms from
President Mckinley and others.
1t Is asserted at the Austrian Foreign
Office. according TO the Vienna correspond
ent of the Daily Mail, that Russia has
agreed to a compromise. leaving a portion
of the troops in Peking and sending the
main body to Tien-Tsin. which will be the
military headquarters.

REVOLT OF RAILWAYS.
No More Rides for Presidential and
Vice Presidential Candidates.

No More Rides for Presidential and
Vice Presidential Candidates.
CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Railroads operating
south of the Ohio and east of the Missis-
sippi have departed from the time-honored
campaign year custom of gratuitously
wheeling presidential and vice presidential
candidates and their retinues about their
territory on electioneering expeditions. This
year they want for hauling candidates spe-
cial trains and they have agreed themselves
to stand out for a fix rate per train mile.
The national committees of the Democratic
and Republican parties have been notified
Of the railroads action. The lines have
agreed upon a minimum rate of $50 per
train mile for the special trains and that
short line distances are to govern between
common points. All the roads belonging
to the Southwestern Passenger Association
have entered into the agreement and the
nonassociation lines operating in the same
territory have also signified their willing
ness to participate in the arrangement.
Railroad officials in Chicago say that they
would not be surprised If the lines north of
the Ohio river, individually or Jointly,
would follow the example set by the lines
in the South.

EXPECTS RUSSIA TO YIELD.
Germany Thinks the Czar Will Not
Withdraw Troops from Peking.

BERLIN, Sept. 7-Evidently the German
Foreign Office reckons with the possibility
that Russia will yield to the arguments of
the powers and will not withdraw her
troops from Peking. Discussing this ques-
ton to-day. a high official of the
Foreign Office said: Germany does not
understand the Washington dispatches to
mean that the United States intends to
withdraw it's troops. AS far as Russia is
concerned, Ii must be borne In mind that
she did not put forth her proposition of
withdrawal as a sine qua non, but only
tentatively and for the purposes OF discus
sion."
On attention being called to the sharp
criticisms of Russia's attitude in a section
OF the German press, the Foreign Office
official remarked: "Our press is discussing
the question for the most part in wholly
amicable spirit and those papers that are
attacking Russia are pursuing a policy Of
their own"
The Emperor and Empress Of Germany
are at Stettin attending the imperial navy
maneuvers. In reply to an address of well
come from the burgomaster his Majesty
declared his conviction that success would
East to establish a stable government and
orderly conditions under which the German
merchants can carry on trade undisturbed
and without risk. In conclusion his Majes-
ty said he felt no anxiety for the future.
and was satisfied his plan would succeed
and serve the best interests of the father
land.
The speech is here interpreted to mean
that his plan of overcoming the present
difficulty in China will be adopted by the
powers. This goes to show. as has been
claimed all along, that Germany, in the
China matter, is following the personal
policy of the Kaiser. A number OF leading
journals condemn such a course as in con-
travention of the Constitution of the en-
pire. Gegenwart. a high-class periodical,
concludes an article signed 'Apolitikos'' as
follows: Surely 1t is high time to deter
mine the question whether our political
life can still be justly called constitutional
or whether we are steering toward abso-
lutism."
From the present instructions of the
Naval Department Germany will make the
strongest naval demonstration ever made
at Shanghai. namely, ten warships. with
3.20o men and 1sS guns. or these vessels
four will be large cruisers, four others win
be somewhat smaller and two will be gum

81 AM A DEMOCRAT SAYS HE WILL
SUPPORT 16-TO-1 BRYAN.
Admits, However, He Is Not In Accord
with the Candidate on All
Public Questions.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
OTTAWA, Kan, Sept. 7.-Senator Charles
w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, opened the Re-
publican campaign here to-day. He was
greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd
of happy farmers and others who are en-
joying their full measure Of prosperity.
When the senator arose to speak in For
est Park this afternoon he was greeted
with cheers. His speech was in line with
his recent indianapolis utterances, and he
showed conclusively that Mr.. Bryan was
responsible for the ratification of the Paris
treaty. He denounced the Democratic
charge that the administration had recog-
nized the right of the Sultan of Sulu to
keep his subjects in bondage. On this point
he said:
'"The administration has been charged
with the recognition and protection of slav-
cry in the Sulu archipelago. The 1ndianap-
oils Sentinel lately said:
" The agreement for slavery is In Article
10: ANY slave in the archipelago or Sulu
shall have the right to purchase freedom
by paying to the master the usual market
value" No other method of terminating
existing slavery is notorious. Commissioners
Schurman calls this slavery "a mild form
Of feudal homage" but there is universal
agreement by all the authorities that the
slavery is absolute even to the power OF
taking life.
This is a grave charge. Is it true? Our
Democratic friends have not been entirely
frank. They have not given the entire
record. If they had done so there would
have been instead of words of criticism
words Of praise, of high commendation.
Let us consult the public record for the
truth The treaty to which reference is
made was signed by General Bates and
the Sultan of Jolo Aug. 20. 1899 1t sane
toned slavery, but when the treaty reached
the President he repudiated the provision
promptly and decisively. In his message
transmitting the treaty to Congress he
said:
"I have confirmed said agreement sub
ject to the action of Congress, with the
reservation, which / have directed shall
be communicated to the Sultan of Jolo,
that this agreement is not to be deemed
in any way to authorize or give the con-
sent of the United States to the existence
of slavery in the Sulu archipelago
For what purpose do our opposing
friends garble the records of the govern
ment to make a praiseworthy act seem like
the reverse?
1.-The President actually abolished slav-
cry by his disapproval of the act Of Gen.
eral Bates, yet the opposition attempts to
make the people believe that an act of dis
honor has been committed.
mo, fellow-citizens, the American flag
will never wave above a bOndman. 1t did
once, but that stain was washed away by
the best blood of the Republic"

large audience tonight.

AN OPEN QUARREL POSSIBLE
IF HILLS MAN is NAMED FOR TEN
PORARY CHAIRMAN,
Croker's Gang May Rise I'm Conven-
ton and Ovcrturn the Work of
the State Committee

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. Livery dele
gate who has arrived here predicts that
Richard Croker has the upper hand in the
contest for control of the Democratic state
convention. Representative Sulzer is pre-
dieting tonight that there will be little "or
no friction" and adds: What friction
there is will rebound to the good of the
party and will give the people to under
stand that the ticket is the outcome Of
vigorous rivalry, and not like the Repub-
licans, ali slated weeks before"
1t Is said tonight that out of the 450
votes in the convention Mr.. Croker will
control 277. This is providing that Kings
county votes as a unit, which it is said 1T
will do. There are twenty-four contests
noted. The faction controlled by Mr.. Hill
has to its credit 1s9 votes. 1t takes 226 to
control the convention, and Mr.. Croker
starts off with total of 22S certain for
him. Mr.. Hill controls the votes in thirty
one counties out Of the sixty-one in the
State. Mr.. Croker controls the votes of
but fifteen counties outright. while eleven
are about equally shared between the two.
If Mr.. Croker controls the state committee
at its meeting and names Mr.. McCarren, it
is fairly certain that Croker delegates will
be seated from these counties. If Mr.. Hill
controls the committee and Mr.. Mcclure is
named as temporary chairman. 1t is stated
tonight that a motion to substitute the
name OF Mr.. McCarren will be made in
open convention and the will of the COM
mittee overturned II such a thing occurs
it will be rather unprecedented in Demo-
cratic annals. although such an attempt
was made in the Republican convention Of
1881 by those opposed TO Governor Cornell
In that convention 1t was defeated by a
majority of twelve. With the overwhelm-
ing odds alleged in Mr.. Croker's favor,
however, the attempt could be successfully
made In this convention.
Talk of the ticket seems to favor the
head as Stanchfield and Mackey. If. how
ever. Stanchfeld should not want to run
Mackey is spoken Of for first place. with
Colonel Rowe, of Rensselaer,, for lieuten-
ant governor. Rowe has quite a boom to-
night and it is believed that it is quite
possible to change the ticket so that Sen
ator Mackey would be made attorney gen.
eral, with Rowe for lieutenant governor. 1t
is believed, however, that the ticket may
be made as follows: For Governor, ]. B.
Stanchfield. Of Chemung; for lieutenant
governor, w. +. Mackey. Of Erie: secretary
Of state, Col. c. +. Rowe, OF Rensselaer,;
for controller, Edwin Atwater, of Dutchess:
for attorney general, George H. Palmer. OF

During HIS trip through Michigan to-day
Colonel Roosevelt made eight speeches, be-
ginning at Bay City at $50 in the morning
and ending at Hastings at 5 o'clock. The
crowds at the various stopping places
during the day were large, apprecia-

Governor is pleased with his Western
reception, although he complains that he is

The demonstration at the Auditorium to-
night, In point Of numbers and enthusi-
asm, surpassed anything that has yet
taken place at any meeting held during
the present campaign in honor OF the vice
presidential candidate. Thousands were un-
able to obtain admittance to the hall. The
meeting was called to order by Congress-
man William Alden Smith, who introduced
Governor Roosevelt in a brief. patriotic
and telling address, in which he extolled
the courage, sacrifices and patriotism OF
the American soldier. When Governor
Roosevelt advanced to the front Of the
stage the great audience broke into en-
thusiastic applause.
