English and German Papers Comment
Unfavorably on Americas Answer.
LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Standard,
which discusses editorially the replies
Of the United States government, says:
''The policy thus laid down implies
the existence at Washington of a very
exaggerated estimate of the good will
OF the Chinese viceroys. It is to be
feared that the action of the United
States will tend to weaken the moral
influence of the allies, and for this rea.
son it is to be greatly regretted.
BERLIN, Sept. 24.-Discussing the
answer of the United States govern
ment to Germany's proposal regarding
the Chinese settlement, The Vossische
Getting says:
'America's abandonment of the con-
cert of the powers will not have serious
consequences for their diplomatic ne
gotiations, but it will render their task
more difficult, inasmuch as nothing 90
increases Chinese presumption and in
science as the knowledge that harmony
In the ranks of their opponents has
been disturbed. The action of the
United States is equivalent to an aban-
donment of the common interests of
Occidental civilization and probably
will. lead to a prolongation Of blood

be noted, all negotiations are of a ''pre.

Cooper and Maj" Taylor, has been de-
clared off, and Cooper left tonight for his
home in Detroit. Taylor leaves for In,

The track was pronounced defective as
early as Sunday last and officials have
been busy ever since trying to remedy
the trouble. Several of the prominent
riders sustained bad falls in their prac-
tice work, and many alterations have
been made, but all seemingly without
bringing about the desired result
Tom Cooper gave the track a thorough
trial this afternoon, and wound up Wiiil
a fall that nearly cost him some broken
ribs. That was enough for him and Tay-
lor said the track was anything but safe
for speedy riding. The trouble is in the
banking at either end of the track
