SLIGHTLY IMPROVED.
Condition of Senator Davis Yesterday
More Favorable.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 19-Wbetber the
condition of United States Senator Davis is
other than superficial it is impossible to
say. The continued intervals Of delirium
are deemed unfavorable to recovery. How
ever the fact that he continues to take and
digest considerable food and tonics is con-
sidered much in his favor. A bulletin is
sued at noon said the senator slept but an
hour and a half last night and was de-
lirious much of the time. His respiration
had increased from 26 TO 80 and his con-
dition generally was more serious. Sec
ond bulletin was given out at 1:3o p. M, and
was much more favorable, the patient hav-
ing rested we'll during the day and being
perfectly rational when awake His pulse
had dropped from 120 to 104, while his tenn
perature was normal.
Dr. Stones bulletin tonight is as fol-
lows: Senator Davis has been resting
quietly throughout the day with lucid in
tervals. He has been free from pain. His
temperature tonight is IS As; pulse, log,
and respiration Is.

The greater part of the forenoon ses-
sion was given up to addresses on the
outlook in the many foreign lands where
the NJ. Z. Church is conducting mission
airy work. Bishop Hartzell spoke on
Africa, which is his field. He said in part:
1--WE stand to-day in the face of a re-
volt of the pagan world against Christian
civilization. In the far East Moham-
mechanism is outnumbering the Christian
religion in the number of adherents. China
has just slammed her door in the face of
Christianity. Only a few days ago her
representative stood in Carnegie's Insti-
tute in Pittsburg ara boldly threw down
the gauntlet to Christian culture in be-
half of the ancient civilization of his peo-
pie. Half the world is pagan, the other
half Christian, and our zeal and labor
in the first year of a coming century will
decide whether we shall win or whether
the Christian faith shall be deluged by
pagaEism and lay buried for centuries.

Her Presence i'm Turkish Waters to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The first-class

Philippines. The Kentucky has been in
Mediterranean waters for some time, has
made stop at Algerian ports and is now
at Naples, Italy. She is going to Manila
via the Suez canal route, and is in COM
mand of Captain Colby Chester.
The Kentucky's presence in Turkish
waters will be coincident with renewed
efforts on the part of the administration to
collect from the Turkish government pay
ment of the indemnity claimed by the
United States for she destruction of mis-
sionary property in that country some
years ago. These claims have been pend
ing for long time. The payment of the
indemnity was urged in turn by Ministers

Smyrna lies at the head of the gulf of

centuries has been the most important

lies out of the ordinary line of travel to
the Suez canal.

the most urgent point-the liberation
OF the Europeans in Peking-has been
attained. Other highly important OBJ
Jects remain to be reached-secur-
ity OF the lives and property of for
eigners, adequate satisfaction for out
RACES, compensation for the disbursements
made and the costs incurred, and the safe
guarding OF our possessions. For the at
tainment of these unanimous agreement
has been arrived at by the representatives
Of the powers in Peking, whose demands
L now communicate:
China shall erect a monument to
Baron Won Ketteler on the site where he
was murdered. and send an imperial prince
to Germany to convey an apology. She
shall infiict the death penalty upon eleven
princes and officials already named and
suspend provincial examinations for five
years where the outrages occurred.
In future all officials failing to pre-
vent anti-foreign outrages within their
jurisdiction shall be dismissed ard pun
ished.
Indemnity shall be paid TO states. cor
porations and individuals. The Tsung-Li-
Yamen shall be abolished and it's functions
vested in foreign minister. Rational in
tercourse shall be permitted with the En-
peror as in civilized countries.
The forts ar Taku and other forts
on the coast of Chilli shall be RACED and
the importation of arms and war material
prohibited.
Permanent legation guards shall be
maintained. and also guards of communi-
cation between Picking and the sea.
Imperial proclamations shall be posted
for two years throughout the empire sup
pressing Boxers.
Indemnity is to include compensation
for Chinese who suffered through being
employed by foreigners, but not compensa-
ton for native Christians.
China shall erect expiatory monuments
in every foreign international burial
ground where graves have been profaned.
1.-THE foregoing conditions have already
been published, but not the following.l.
The Chinese government shall under
take to enter upon negotiations for such
changes in existing treaties regarding trade
and navigation as the foreign governments
deem advisable and with reference to other
matters having in view the facilitation of
commercial relations
'It is impossible to foresee further de-
velopments. We shall not allow ourselves
to be led beyond these demands except by
the interests of civilization and especially
by the interests of Germany"

Later in his speech Count Won Buelow
said: 'The loyalty of Germany's policy has
been proved by the fact that the other
powers have transferred to us the supreme

Some disparaging criticism on the Amer
lean field gun as exhibited in the Chinese
campaign led Adjutant General Corbin 10
address the following inquiry to General
Chaffee at Pekin: 1T is asserted that our
light artillery guns did not meet all re-
quirements of the service, compared with
the arms of other armies. What are the
facts?" The following response has been
received: ''Our battery better than any
other in the campaign. German bat
terry just arrived has some features super
Tor to ours. The powder charge in the
case is fired with a trigger like a pistol.
More rapid fire is the result The brake
arrangement is also better. The caliber of
the gun is not quite so large. Our bat
terry was highly praised, particularly by
General Linivetch who said he felt like
taking off his hat whenever he saw IL.
No battery so effective as ours in attack
