mo TIME FOR PEACE
The Ministers Must First Be
Liberated.
REPLY TO THE CHINESE EDICT
Americas Firm Position in This MatteS
Is Unchanged-A Message
From ConKer.

Washington, August Is. The reply
OF the United States government to
China's overtures for peace was made
public early in the day, showing the
firm and final position that had been
taken. While expressing satisfaction
at this peace step, the reply states that
it is evident "that there can be no gen.
eral negotiations between China and
the powers" so long as the ministers
and legationers are restrained and in
danger, and then follows specific
statement of what the United States
expects as a condition precedent to
cessation of hostilites. viz: That
body of the relief force be permitted to
'enter Pekin unmolested'' and escort
the ministers back to Tien Tsin. The
text of the American reply is as fol-
lows
Memorandum: Touching the i'm
perial edict of August 8, appointing Lii
Hung Chang envoy plenipotentiary to
conduct negotiations on the part of
China with the powers, and the request
for cessation of hostilities pending
negotiations, communicated to Mr..
Adee by MIR. WI on the 18th of Au-
gust, 1900.
1.-THE government of the United
States learned with satisfaction of the
appointment of Earl Lii Hung Chang as
envoy plenipoJentiary to conduct nego-
tiations with the powers, and will, on
its part, enter upon such negotiations
with desire to continue the friendly
relations SO long existing between the
two countries. 1t is evident that there
can be no general negotiations between
China and the powers SO long as the
ministers of the powers and the persons
under their protection remain in their
present position of restraint and danger,
and that the powers cannot cease their
efforts for their delivery of those repre-
sentatives to which they are constrain-
ed by the highest consideration of
national honor, except under an ar
rangement adequate to accomplish
peaceable deliverance. We are ready
to enter into an arrangement between
the powers and the Chinese government
for cessation of hostile demonstIa-
tions on condition that a sufficient
body of the forces composing the relief
expedition shall be permitted to enter
Pekin unmolested and to escort the for
eign ministers and residents back to
Tien Tsin, this movement being pro-
vided and secured by such arms and
dispositions of troops as shall be con-
sidered safe by the generals command
ing the forces composing the relief ex-
pedition. ALVAL A. ADEE,

Read and Ponder.

1t is one of the boasts of the repub-
lican party that prices of commodities
are better under republican than DEM
ocratic administration. This may, in
some cases, be true, but does the ad-
vance in price. benefit the consumer !?
1t is one of the peculiar things in this
matter that the advance in price of
material is gene' ally in articles of no
advantage to the general consumer,
but TO the manufacturer, thus increas-
ing the cost of living while it does not
increase the sbiItity to pay. Below
we give you an object lesson.
