London, Oct. ia Times special
from Peking, dated Wednesday, Oct.

Yesterday Prince Ching and Earl Ii
Hung Chang addressed circular note
to the foreign ministers formulating
proposals for a preliminary convention

The note contains FIVE articles:
Il. China expresses regret over the
they shall never recur.
g. China admits her liability for
the payment of indemnity.
SO. Regarding commercial treaties,
Cllna is willing to reaffirm or modify
old treaties or to make new ones.

Of the occurrence of the imperial

the Boxers received support from

Tuan and to order the execution OF
others is fabrication.

China is seriously ILL.,
There is much alarm in Chinese cir.

Minneapolis Tribune: The
fact is recalled that. a few weeks
ago Bryan travelled through
Oregon, sounding the keynote
of the Democratic campaign and
drawing W. everywhere great
audiences which applauded him
vigorously, and, he felt sure
that the state would Ga for him
and his policies. But when the
election came off it was found
that the Republicans had made
a clean sweep. Mr.. Bryan has
often remarked that the crowds
which greeted him in 1895 gave
him the impression that he was
going to be elected, and thus
his disappoint was all the
greater Bryan seems to be a
peculiar figure in our politics.
People like to go and hear him
speak, but when it comes. to
voting the more thoughtful
among them conclude that it
would be altogether too unsafe
to put such a Shallow theorist
into The preside Dental chair.
