The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1900-04-28

A Pierre correspondent OF the Sioux
City Journal of the 9th. reviewing the
political situation IN South Dakota, has
q very rosy prospect ia sight for the re-
publican party. It says the leaders OF
that party have been riding over the
state and find every indication pointing
to republican success. For instance,
some OF the cities at their spring cleo
tons elected republicans for mayors
Then the opposition to the republicans
have 10 is ues to tight upon. All these
belong to the republican party aud no
matter how bad a thing for the people
the republicans may want it is not an
issue for the other fellows to oppose it.
The republicans have all the issues.
The great bulk OF the new Immigration
into South Dakota is also going to vote
with the republicans, because it has
come from republican states, this too ia
spite OF the fact that the republicans,
claimed in their campaings two and four
years ago that populists success and
government would put an end TO i'm.
migration and prosperity in this state:
but strange to say both have been
greater under the four years Of popul,st
rule in the state, than in any other four
years OF its history. So the correspond.
ent claims this as a strong argument for
republican success. The first term
oft~lce-holdlng republicans - Burke.
Schamber, Eastman, Reeves and Collins
are to be renominated. Herried is
slated by the machine for governor.
though Snow and RoddIe are to be-
allowed to loom up ss candidates before
the convention. Berg Of SPHINX and AL.
mond Of Deuel. are to contest for eecre.

NO TIME LIMIT
But the Note to the Sultan Is
Nevertheless Very Near
an Ultimatum.
The Cruiser Compromise Has Al
really Been Categ0rically
Refused.
Embassies Exchanging Views on
the Subject of a Raise in
Duties.

CoNsTANTINOpLE, Thursday, April rs.
The American note handed to the
Turkish minister Of foreign affairs.
Tewfk Pasha, on Tuesday, is couched
in p%eremptory terms, demanding imme-
date payment for the indemnity sew
eral times promised to Minister Strauss
by the sultan. The note does not fix a
time limit for an answer, but its tenor
is not far from the character of an ulti-
matum. 1t has produced a great i'm
preston upon the porte, which, how.
ever, shows no disposition to modify the
attitude hitherto maintained, namely,
repudiating the responsibility and seek
ing to diminish the Importance of the
matter. 1t is presumed that the porte'S
reply will be in this sense; and hence.
it is feared the United States govern.
ment will be obliged to take steps to en-.
force its demand. Turkeys decision to
send an officer to America to study
naval construction is interpreted
to be another sop. 1t is the
revival of an old project to buy
a cruiser in the United States.
in the price Of which the indemnity
shall be included, SO that the porte will
be able to say it has not paid the in
demnity. The American government
has already categorically refused such a
compromise, which would mean pro-
longed negotiations and the dragging
out of the matter indefinitely. to which
the United States will not listen. As
regards the indemnity, it is in the ma
ture of a debt of honor. If the porte
wants to buy a cruiser that is a matter
in no way connected with the in.
demnity.
The porte's reply to the last collective
note on the subject Of duties has not
been made, and the embassies are ex-
changing views in regard to the terms
on which to consent to an increase Of
duty. 1t is thought hat before the be.
ginning Of negotiations the embassies
will invite the porte to abolish ransoms
and measures introduced in violation Of
treaties.

CUBA'S FUTURE.


Washington, July 14.-Secretary
Root yesterday, in discussing the COM
ing constitutional convention in Cuba,
expressed himself quite positively on
the question of annexation. In reply
to question he said that the SUBJ
iect of annexation, or any other sub
ject for that matter, might be
brought up before the convention,
but that in his own opinion Cuban
annexation, if it came at all, was not
imminent just now. Said he: my
own experience in Cuba leads me to
believe that the desire for independ-
ence is both strong and general among
the people. do not think they want
annexation, even supposing that we
want them. Under the congressional
declaration we are in honor bound to
give them independence first. If, sub
sequently, they wish annexation, that
is matter for them to determine.
But it should be determined when
they are in a position, absolutely in
dependent of us. Even then, as | have
suggested, it is case where it takes
two to make a bargain"

London, July 1.-THE scanty cable

terms of peace, cooperating with

matory anti-foreign appeals.
The Tien Tsir correspondent of the
Express, telegraphing under date Of
July 9, asserts that the Chinese are
daily driving in the allies. They have
mounted, says the correspondent, 12
fresh guns in advantageous positions,
with which they are sweeping the
streets of the foreign settlement, the
incessant fire rendering position after
position quite untenable.

Serious Reports from China.

London, July 17.-Up to this hour
no further news has been received re-
ceived regarding the reported mas
sacre at Pekin from any source. In
the house of commons last evening
there was no ground for hoping that
the report was not true, William st.
John Broderick, parliamentary secre-
rotary to the foreign Office, had
nothing to communicate.
kilograms from Shanghai and Che
FOO indicate an increasingly serious
state of affairs. 1t is alleged that the
foreign consuls at Shanghai have ca
bled their governments that there is
urgent need for warships to protect
that city, owing to the menacing at
titule of the Chinese aud the tempta-
ton to loot the vast stores of mer-
ohandise recently accumulated there.
From Che Foo comes the report
that the entire adult male population
of the three provinces of Chilli, Shan
81 and San Tung are massing to de-
fend Pekin in the conviction that the
powers mean war. There is little
doubt that further check of the
allies at Tien Tsin would be the sig
nal for a general anti-foreign rising
throughout China.
The japanese officers are still con-
fident of their ability to reach Pekin
before the roads become impossible,
but the European commanders believe
an advance will be impossible before
September. Fighting is said to be
imminent at New Chwang, where the
Boxers are threatening the foreign
settlement. The Russians have barri-
caded the streets and loopholed the
houses Of the foreigners.

Intellectual attempts have been made
to conceal the horrible fact that Ad-
miral Seymour was compelled to
shoot his own wounded during the
recent disastrous retreat of the Pekin
relief expedition. All the wounded
and prisoners who fell into the hands
of the Chinese were frightfully tor
tured. When Admiral Seymour in his
retreat found himself so hard pressed
that he was unable longer to carry
his wounded with him, he asked them:
(Which do you prefer, to be left to
the merces of the Chinese or to be
shot by your own commander?" As
Admiral Seymour put the question the

and while the allied force stopped
and beat off with gun fire the Chinese
horde that surrounded it, few merci-

tion was relieved of its burden of
wounded, the fanatical Chinese horde
was cheated of victims for its tor
ture and the sufferings and fears Of
the unfortunates were brought to an
end in an honorable death under their
own flag.
