II is also known that Hill and his
friends have some hesitancy about
pushing Danforth for the nomination,
because they have doubts of success
if there is distinct declaration for 16

seem willing to allow the convention
to take its own course. without max
ing any determined effort TO name
candidate, has given the Towne men
great deal of encouragement and they
are more aggressive than ever.

GERMAN EMPEROR Is WROTH.
Germany VIII Avenge the Murder
of Baron Won ketteJer

Berlin. July addressing the de-
tachment of German marines which
sailed from Wilhelmshaven for China
Monday. the emperor made a remarka-
bic speech, during which he notified
the world of Germany's intention to
avenge the murder of Baron Won ket-
teller, the late minister of Germany at
Pekin, and the missionaries. and u die
tate terms TO the Chinese from the
palace at Pekin.
The Emperor's speech.
THE fire brand of war has been
hurled in the midst of the most pro-
found peace. Unhappily this was to
me not unexpected. \ crime OF un-
speakable insolence, horrifying in its
barbarity, has been committed against
the person of my trnsty representa-
tive, and has taken him from us The
ministers of the other powers hover
between life and death, and with them
comrades sent for their protection. 1t

The German Fling Insuited.
The German flag has been insuted
and the German empire treated with
contempt. This demands exemplary
punishment and vengeance. Events
have moved with frightful rapidity.
and have become profoundly grave and
still graver. Since | called to YOU to
arms what | hoped to effect with the
help of the marine infantry has now
become a difficult task which can only
be fulfilled with the help of the ser
ried ranks of all civilized states.
On the Walls of PeIin
Il will not rest until the German
flag, joined in those of the other DOW
ers, floats triumphantly over China's
flag, and until it has been planted on
the walls of Pekin to dictate peace to

DIPLOMACY OF MYSTERY.
England Is Waiting For Something to
Turn Up.

New York. Sept. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Lord Salisbury has been at the foreign
office, but there are no immediate signs
that the situation in hin has been
cleared. london editors certainly are as
much in the dark as they We. wnen the
premier was in the Vosges. The Times is
keeping abreast with Dr.. Morrison rather
than following any official cues in fore
casting and condemning a secret under
standing between Germany and Russia.
1t has. been the current belief in diplo-
matte circles that an understanding of
this kind would be brought about, but
it has been based upon natural differences
rather than upon definite information.
Russia and Germany acted in concert at
the close of he war between China n
Japan and obtained naval stations and
territory. Tt has been the natural sug-
gestion that they would repeat this process
in the existing crisis and there has been
nothing in the negotiations over the re-
of the allied forces from Pekin
to modify this inference. Practically di-
plOmatistS have been convinced that the
German emperor after supporting Eng
land strongly in South Africa during the
last year. cannot be depended upon to
take up British interests in China, but
will be more likely to make terms with
Russia.
The validity Of DR.. Morrison's infer
ences is accepted by well Informed men
in diplomatic circles. 1t is in the natur-
al order Of events that the German en-
peror, who has ambitions of his own in
the far east. should lave a good UNDER
standing with Russia respecting the far
east.
Lord S~alisbury's own policy remains a
mystery n only one thing can be as
serted with any degree of confidence.
hat is, that the British forces will re-
main in Pekin Indefinitely. England be-
ing without a diplomatic ally in the
Chinese complication, will naturally
maintain an attitude of mastery mac
tivity, and decline to send away her
troops until the imperial government ha
been reconstructed and some effective
measures have been taken for securing
the punishment of the guilty nandarins.
Press dispatches are filled with fore+
casts of the peace negotiations at Pekin
the conditions which Russia and 9TH
er: powers are likely to impose. Most Of
these summaries are ingenious guess
work, and all are premature. The de-
mand for the return of the. emperor to
power is accurately stated without doubt,
but this leaves the question of the en-
press influence unsettled, and that lies at
the bottom of the present complications.
The leaders Of the Boxer revolt and of
the imperial army can never be punished
if she retains any influence at the palace.

+, 1.-THE great drawback" said a promi-
nent member of the Baltimore & Ohio
syndicate, "is lack OF transportation. If
Messrs. Carnegie and Pitcairn can equip
"a fleet of vessels specially constructed
tor carrying coal. such as our iron ore
and Oil fleets. and give a true rate from
the coal mines to Marseilles and Odessa,
the United States would have the Eu-
Korean Goa market at her feet for all
l.ime.'
AS to the query as to whether Lord
Salisbury has extended Lord Paunce-
fOte's services as British ambassador
expiring in a few months, there are many
conjectures as to who will succeed him
at Washington. Sir Henry Howard, who
has been British minister at The Hague.
and Luxembourg since 1896, and who Is
described in this connection as "a
straightforward ~diplomatist, just such a
character as Americans like to deal
with" is rather more often mentioned
than others. Sir Henry Howard has
served more than once at the British
legation at Washington. and his wife
is a daughter of the late George w.
Riggs of Washington, D. c. He was
born in 1S43 and entered the diplomatic
service in 1855.

FOR AN OBJECT LESSON.
Chinese Do Not Believe Foreigners
Have Reached Pekin.

], Shanghai. Sept. 15.-News of the con-
templated withdrawal of the allies from
Pekin a caused a sensation, and is
regarded here as a great mistake which
is likely to eventuate in disturbances in
other parts OF China where the people
are certain to attribute the ~acuat
to a defeat of the European forces. Even
here the Chinese as a whole, do not be-
lieve that the allies ever reached Pekin.
They think the story a fabrication con-
cocted for the purpose of imposing upon
the officials.
Competent observers believe that a les
son be brought home to China now
in order to prevent serious outbreaks in
the future.
