WIN. ]. BRYAN AT CHICAGO.
A. the Guest of the Nebraska BrYaD
Club He INDUCES I'm REM
iniscenoes of other Days.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Wm. Jennings
Bryan was the guest of the Nebraska
Bryan club, at a reception held at
the Sherman house. Col. Bryan met
several hundred people, after which
he was introduced by M. V. Cannon,
president of the club. Mr.. Bryan
said in part:
~ came to meet the members OF
this club rather than to make .
speech, but when l arrived, found
here a number of persons, and tho
meeting with them carried me back
to the early days of Nebraska.
"The first campaign that 1 took
part in Nebraska was the campaign
of 1888, and I remember that in that
campaign the distinguished gentle
man who presides over the club,
Judge Cannon, was one of our chief
speakers.
81 have met here also those who
were with me in the first campaign
which 1 made in Nebraska in 1890.
II you find that these men who be-
long to this club, who formerly lived
in Nebraska, and gave me my start
in politics-if you find that they
don't praise me as much as they
ought to, just remember that they
are following the injunction, "praiss
not the work Of your own hands" for
am largely the work of their hands.
L went there a stranger, and they
took me in-in the Bible sense, and
not in the sense In which some peo-
pie apply it. They gave me a nomi-
nation for congress, and-generously
at time when no one else would
have it-they elected me at a time
when it was supposed that no demo-
crat could be elected. But it was not
my fault. / did in that case as the
president in his letter of acceptance
said we did with the Philippine is
lands, because we could not help ac-
cepting them"
Mr.. Bryan spoke in a reminiscent
way for some time.

them to open peace negotiations, taxi
en- in conjunction with the indications
contained in dispatches from the far
east that China is developing better
disposition to arrange peace terms, 10
welcomed here, for the desire to ex-
pedite the settlement of the trouble
is increased by dispatches received
from Hamburg announcing that Ger
many will send two additional de-
tachments of 5000 and 600 men re-
spectively, to China early in Octo-
Der. These troops, it il reported,
have already been ordered to prepare
for their journey.
Political Causes Hinted At.
Shanghai dispatches, dated Septem-
Der 8, insist that the great display of
force htere must be due to political
causes. They contend that the atti-
tude of the Chinese is peaceable, and
does not call for the taking of extra
ordinary measures. They say that
there have already been landed $500
Indian, 500 French and $50 German
troops, in addition to 500 volunteers
and 1000 naval men, who are ayaila-
BILE. There are 10 foreign warships
at Shanghai, including the United
States gunboat Princeton and IA at

Now comes the news that the jap

A dispatch from Pekin says that
after the allied troops traversed the
palace, August 2s, the foreign minis
ters and generals returned and visit
ed the audience halls, where they
found six mandarins, including Off
Gals of the tsung Ii yamen. The roy
al apartments and the rooms set
apart for the women were not en-
tered. Magnificent marble staircases,
costly bronzes and valuable vases
were encountered everywhere. The
emperor's throne, situated in small
building, is surrounded by pedastals
on which are caskets containing writ
etn wishes, to be opened after his
death.

LATEST FROM GEN. CHAFFEE.

Doesn't Think Diplomatic Relations
VIII Soon be Resumed at Pekin.
Washington, Sept, 1o.-The follow
ing dispatch has been received at the
war department.:
Taku (no date)-Adjutant General,
Washington: Two afternoon 4th.
Evidence accumulates that diplomatic
Stations will not be resumed here for
a long time. Russian legation leave
very soon for Tien Tsin. Appears to
me certain Chinese government will
not return here whilst foreign army
remains and if this true our legation
can transact no business. My opinion
is that Pekin will be merely camp of
the foreign army pending settlement
by the powers at other points.
