Washington, August 90 The Chinese
government through Ii Hung Chang,
has made application to the United States
for the appointment of Minister Conger,
or some other American official. with
authority to open negotiations for the
establishment of peace and for fixing def
mite terms for the settlement of the pres
ent trouble. The application came to the
Chinese niniste r today and was taken by
him to the State Department.
Ii Hung Changes application Tor the
appointment of a peace commissioner
expresses Willingness to conduct the
negotiations at a point desired by the
powers and it is expected that this will be
Pekin or lien Tsin. A similar applica-
tion has been made by Earl Ii to all OF
the powers interested. His suggestion Of
Minister Conger as the American COM
missioner is based on the idea that as
Mr.. Conger has been rescued he has now
the opportunity to proceed to the point
where negotiations will be held and con-
duct them. The application does not
suggest any particular terms nor does 1t
ask for the withdrawal OF troops. 1t re-
quests that the negotiations shall be for
the purpose of bringing about a cessation

MARCH AND THE LION.
Something Better than the old Saw.


The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false, but
there is another and better one
which is literally true. When March
comes in and finds you taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich and
yitalize your blood, you may expect
when it goes out, that it will leave
YOU free from that tired feeling and
with none of the boils, pimples and
eruptions which manifest themselves
because of impure blood in the spring.
II YOU have not already begun taking
Hoods Sarsaparllla for your spring
medicine we advise you to begin to-
day. We assure you twill make you
feel better all through the coming
summer.

THE eoeBEL ELECTION LAW
To be Repealed as Policy Stroke
If nothing more.

"
The infamous Goebel election law In
Kentucky is likely to be repealed, as a
stroke OF policy II nothing more. Henry
watterson in the following interview
strikes the key note OF the democratic
intentions inregard to that law:
81 am satisfied that the republicans
propose to make of the Goebel law an
Offset to republican monstrosity In.
Kentucky. Nor is this all. They ex-
pect to be able, with the Goebel law
as their pretext, TO throw out the
vote OF Kentucky in the next electoral
college. Their dearest hope is that
Kentucky democrats will neither re-
peal nor modify the Goebel law, and
therefore 1t is the universal opinion
among democrats in both houses OF
congress that the first duty of Ken
lucky democrats is to defeat this SIMS
ter purpose by such revision Of the
Goebel law as will cure IL of such fea-
lures as play into hands of republicans
and may procure the defeat OF the
next national democratic ticket in case
the result should hang upon the vote
OF Kentucky. My opinion is that our
friends in the legislature should ad.
dress themselves at once to this all i'm.
portant question. 1t is not matter
of whether any democrat is for or
against the Goebel law per Sc. Its
simply matter OF arithmetic and
practical politics. The question is no
longer local, but a national one"

Earnest Plea Met by Refusal.

KANSAS CITY. July s.-Mayor James X.
Mcclure Of Syracuse. who was at Mr.
Bryan's home when Senator Hill was ther.
on Sunday night. gave the following state
ment this afternoon:
AT the request of Mr.. Bryan went to
Lincoln. accompanied by Eugene Hughes.
Mr. Bryan locks rugged. and is prepared
for that extraordinary. energetic personal
campaign in which work he has no equal.
He is a physical marvel. His managers
have changed the plan of campaign. and
from present intentions he Will speak only
In the large cities.
I'VE spent the afternoon with Mr.. Bryan
at his little farm where he lives during
the summer. What he wanted to talk with
me about was the platform and the situa-
tion in New York. / told him plainly of
the peculiar political conditions which pre-
vail in New York and the necessity for
carrying that State in order to win the
general election.
"Mr. Bryan is quite determined to have
the Kansas City Convention reaffirm ur
equivocally the Chicago platform. Includ-
ing declaration in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the ratio
of 16 to without the consent Of any other
nation. The Chicago platform is to be
adopted in whole and In part, In letter and
in spirit
"Mr. Bryan said to me that his stre:,-
uous advocacy of the white metal during
the past seven years and his nomination
on that issue in 1896 made it Illogical and
impossible for him to dissssociate himself
from the silver principle. Then by so do
ing he would not only be accused of incon-
sistency. but of great political and personal
cowardice. E1Fn
HE demands of his friends loyalty to ST.
yer as a test OF loyalty to him which is the
cause Of much embarrassment TO his East
ern friends.
After dinner ex-senator David B. Hill
had a long talk about the pa form. Sc "a
tor Hill wanted modified platform and
endorsing silver. Bryan was courteous but
obdurate. ard no concession whatever YVES
granted the Senator.
Mr.. Hill said that New York can be car
ried on a modified platform. Notwitd-
standing his defeat at Lincoln. Senator
Hill appeared TO be hopeful and in abuEd-
ant good spirits.
"since my arrival here, have been .srd
at work to get a declaration in the rlat-
form in favor of direct legislation. I hat
is, to have State constitutional amend
ments requiring the Legislature on petit n
to submit all important city ard state
questions TO the people for vote. the vote
of the people to be final without further
submission to the Legislature.
Mr.. Bryan promised his support to the
suggestion. and 1t looks now as though We
will win and that the Democratic party
will be the first great national party to de-
clare for direct legislation. Many Con-
gressmen and other legislators are oppos-
ing the idea. and will try hard to prevent
its insertion"

Their Departure From Grandyieyv
Follows SERIES of Race Conflicts.
LOUISVILLE. KY. July 3.-The negroes
al GrandvIew began leaving town in
great numbers yesterday Since the shoot
ing of Town Marshal Lockhart by Cap
tain Greathouse negro, last Saturday.
the negro population has been alarmed be-
cause OF threats by the whites. and by
O'Clock today not one remained in the
place.
The original trouble arose over an at
tempted assault upon white woman by a
negro. who escaped capture by rapid flight.
a mob forming and threatening to lynch
the offender. Theodore Guasald. also
negro, added fuel to the flame by defend
ing the fugitive. and he was peIted with
stones and driven away.
Both whites and blacks then armed them
selves and threats were freely made Their,
was no clash until last Saturday. wher Mar
shall Lockhart attempted to d1sarm Cap
tain Greathouse, who is a leader of his
people. Greathouse resisted and shot the
marshal He avoided lynching By flight,
but on Saturday night surrendered and was
placed in Jail at Rockport- The flight OF
the negro population from Grandview will
probably allay the excitement.
