England Gives Her Minister the Same In
structions Was Sent to Conger.
Washington, Oct. 6.-Although the
formal response to the last German
proposition has not been returned by
Lord Salisbury the United States gov
ernment has been informed that.
though such an answer may not be
made at all. being unnecessary in the
light of recent developments, vet Sir
Claude Macdonald will be instructed
to make the same inquiries relative to
the punishment of the Chinese ring
leaders that have been committed to
Conger.
The first practical outcome of Spe-
cial Commissioner ROckhilfs investi-
cation has been an instruction to him
by the state department to cooperate
with Minister Conger in the inquiries
with which that official is now charged
relative to the character of the Chinese
ENJOYS and puniShmentS. The latest
French note is n distinct movement to-
ward the initiation of negotiations for
a settlement while the question of pun
ishment is still pending. 1t is prob
able that exchanges will take place
with the French note as the basis
while the ministers at Peking are at
york under their instructions upon the
subject of punishments.
Touching the French proposals the
officials here have already received in
timationS that the Chinese government
is prepared to offer strenuous objection
to some of them. notably to the prop-
OSition looking to the razing of the
Talu forts and the interdiction of the
importation of firearms. 1t is believed
here. however, that the imperial gov
ernment will make an earnest effort to
meet the demand of the powers re-
specting the punishments.

hours he poured hot shot into cor
porations operating in restraint O
trade. Without exception his audi
ences expressed enthusiastic approva
of his antitrust utterances. During
the day Mr.. Bryan spoke in countie:
in which the com bined republic ar
maiorities were IS, 322 in 1896. But
two of them gave democratic majori
ties. No attempt is made by partisan
on either side to deny that this trip
of Mr.. Bryan's through this part ol
Indiana has brought out more large
audiences in succession than that oi
any other candidate heretofore. Al
Noblesville four years ago Mr.. Bryan
spoke to a medium-sized crowd, which
received him indifferently, and nearly
every man of whom wore golden rod
in his buttonhole as indicative of his
gold standard sentiments. Yester.
day 5000 enthusiasts heard him
there.
At Arcadia the turn out represented
nearly the entire population of the
town and a good snare of the sur
rounding country. At Upton, where
there is large populist vote, the turn
out was very large. At Elwood the
American Tinplate trust has its larg-
est mill. the largest in the country,
employing about 2.200 men. Here
also are plate and window glass and
lamp chimney factories belonging to
the respective trusts in those lines.
The factory population of the city is
about 1000. Nearly 10000 people
heard Mr.. Bryan.
Pointed Response.
Marion turned ont over 10. 600
strong. Here man in the audience
attempted to interrupt by asking
How about North Carolina? In re-
sponse Mr.. Bryan quoted the section
of the Oregon constitution which for
bids negroes or mulattos 4rom enter
ing the state or owning property
there, and showing that although the
state was 10000 republican, the
people refused to repeal the law last
June. In the Marion crowd was a
man 95 years old who had voted the
repu blican ticket since the organiz-
alton of the party and who has recent
ly come out for Bryan.
Fully 10000 people were in the jam
at Hartford City. In Mr.. Bryan's face
as he spoke at this place there glared
from a building opposite huge posters
declaring that Mckinley was right in
1896. Mr.. Bryan promptly took ad-
vantage of the suggestion and pro-
ceeded to show where, from his stand
point, Mckinley had been anything
but right.
Muncie. Winchester, Richmond and
New Castle gave extraordinary audi
ences, there being no less than IS, 900
people in the shouting throng at
and the Richmond gathering
was near the same mark The rivalry
between Muucie and Anderson is said
to have had something to do with the
enormous crowds at these places. but
in proportion to the size of the cities
the crowds turned out by them were
no larger than at other places along
the line.

1t is the invention of f. W. Adams.

1t for thirteen years. His aim was to
increase speed by diminishing the re-

seems to be entirely successful. The
forty miles between Baltimore and
Washington were covered in b min

The field work of the Twelfth Cen
Sus began on June l, and will last
two weeks, during which time an ar
my of almost $4,000 census enumer-
ators will count, classify and tabulate
the men, women and children, horses.
cows, mules, pigs, sheep and created
beings within the dominions of Uncle
Sam. The count must be completed
within fifteen days. As two of these
will be Sundays, the enumerators
will have only thirt teen days in which
to complete their immense task.
They will be paid at the rate of p
cents for each ordinary person enum-
Grated, 3 cents for stable owners
with their stock, and cents each
for deaf, dumb or blind persons, as
they generally give more trouble.
The extra rate is not paid for those
speaking foreign tongues, because in
terpreters are sent to aid the enum-
orator in such cases. Preparations
for taking the census have been GO
ing on for the last fifteen months.
Nearly 800 supervisors have been
assigned to as many districts. 1000
special agents have been selected for
special work of various kinds. Over
5000 clerks have been employed,
more than 100000 schedules have
been printed, and it is not unlikely
that the entire cost will approximate
$16,OOO,OOO.
