BRYAN ON CHINA.

Says the United States Government
viii Protect Its Cltizens-Congress
Has Power to Deal With the Often
ders-Not Surprised Mt Their Con-
duct.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 20.---W. j. Bry-
an gave out to-day the following inter-
view in regard to the situation In Chi
na: 4t e
Every one deplores the destruction
OF life In China and Is Mortified at the
barbarlties practIced. Every one be-
iieyes that is the duty OF our govern
ment TO protect the lives and property
OF American citizens residing In China
and have no doubt that the admins
tration viii do so. also take It for
granted that all American citlzans will
withdraw from China or take refuge In
some seaport where they can be pro-
tectrd by American ships until the ex-
element Is over.
"If the Chinese government has tried
In good faith to protect our citizens,
suitable punishment for the guilty and
reparation and Indemnity for those who
have suffered can be doubtless secured.
Congress Has Power in the Matter.
II upon Investigation 1t is found that
the Chinese government has 'not.acted
In good faith, Congress has power to
deal with the matter. For several
years European nations have been
threatening to dismembar China and 1t
is not strange that their designs should
arouse feeling of hostility toward for
eigners. That feeling. however, ought
not be II our nation makes it known
that 1t has no desire to grab land or to
trespass upon the rights of China. A
firm adherence to the American policy
OF justice and fair dealing will not only
set an example TO other nations. but
will give to our citizens residing in
China the best promise of security. It
will be better for our merchants in
China to have It known that they seek
trade only when trade Is mutually ad
vantageous. 1t will be batter for our
missionaries to have It known that they
are preaching the gospel OF love and are
not the forcrunners Of fleets and
armies"

hearing, from the legations In Pekin,
two cablegrams bearing tidings Of the
unfortunates beset In the British lega-

came q short, sharp word from Consul
Goodnow. at Shanghai, an officer Of the
state department, who vii! not be soon
forgotten because OF the immense en-
ergy and zeal he has exhibited in Sc
curing information to meet the demand
OF the department. In the exciting days
Of the past six weeks. He gave notice
that Minister Conger had at last been
heard from directly and that his words
were on the way to the state depart
ment. Scarcely had the cheering news
reached Secretary Hay before Minister
WI came tearing down the, asphalt
streets from his legation In his auto
mobile. bearing in his own hands the
precious message from Mr.. Conger. The
minister was perspiring and almost
spcechless with pleasureable excite
ment, and even the swift new elevator
In the state department scarcely could
meet his demard for haste in reaching
Secretary Hay.
Sat in Suppressed Anxiety.
The secretary already had prepared
himself for the minister's appearance.
but nevertheless not knowing the ma
ture of Mr.. Conger's communication he
sat In suppressed anxiety to receive
the message. Mr.. WI himself was ig-
norant of what he had in his hand be-
cause the message was In the state
meaningless mass Of figures and per-
| iods. Secretary Hay at once called for
Second Assistant Secretary Adee and
the two distinguished officials them
selves set to work translating the ci-
pher into English. This occupied near
ly half an hour. The first movement Of
Secretary Hay upon declphering the
message was to make q copy and dis
patch this by messenger In haste to the
white house. with a request 70 the tel
egraphers there TO forward It ut the
earliest moment to President McIiin-
ley. for his information.
They Scented the News.
Then Secretary Hay. remembering thu:
intense public anxiety to have tidings
from the Americans In Pekin, caused
his private secretary to prepare copies
OF the message he had received,
thoughtfully accompanying them with
an explanatory statement and these
copies were given to the newspaper

that news of the greatest Importance
had come, were crowdlnG the broad
