THE TEXT NOT GIVEN OUT
Drawn Up by Ii and Ching, Submitted
by Corger.
PROPOSAL sKETCHED BYPEKIN DISPATCH
Offer to Punish Guilty, Asks Cessation of Hos
tiities, N. Pich,n Replies That Heads
Of Tusn and Others Must
Fall First
Fall First.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct 1S.-For the first time
from at the State Department today. He
communicated by cable the substance of
certain propositions advanced by Prince
Ching and Lii Hung Chang as a basis for
the conduct of negotiations for a settle
ment of the Chinese trouble. The Chi
nese Government had prepared the way
for these by a preliminary action looking
toward the punishment of Chinese officials
guilty of completely in the Boxer uprising
and while the text of Mr. Conger's COM
munication is not made public, it is be-
lieved that the last Chinese advance is
addressed to some of the propositions con-
tanned in the French note, being in the
nature of counter proposals and proceed
ing upon the theory that what has been
done in the matter of punishment is
sufficient to met the demands of the pow
ers in that respect.
1t was learned at the State Depart
ment that Mr.. Conger's previous instruc-
tions fit him perfectly to deal with the
new phase of the Chinese situation de-
veloped by the general acceptance of the
ton. Yesterday M. Thiebaut, the French
Charge here called at the State Depart
ment and proposed to the Secretary the
immediate institution at Pekin of nego-
tiations for a settlement. and it appears
that the Secretary then agreed to do
his part. His promise was made verbally
and it may not be reduced to writing at
all, but Mr.. Conger is already acting in
conformity herewith Most of the pow
ers have accepted the French note with
reservations, but it is said that they all
agree upon a sufficient number of points
of the FIRST magnitude to warrant the as
sembling of the diplomatic body at PelSin
to begin work of formulating objects or
common desire and reconciling divergent
views. 1t is probable that to this body
will be referred the latest Chinese count
er proposition received today by cable
from Mr.. Conger.
Secretary Hay said today that the re-
ply to the message of the Emperor of
China thanking the President for the at
titude of the United States and expressing
hope of a speedy settlement had been
dispatched 1t was purely formal in
character; it thanked the Emperor for
his expressions and Joined in the hope of
a speedy and satisfactory peace.

EONORs TO GOVERNOR SAVERS
A Farewell Given Him by the Merchants As
sociation of New York.
(By the Associated Press.)


New York. Oct. 1S.-As a farewell to
Governor Joseph d. Sayers, of Texas, the
Merchants Association to the number of
about 200 assembled in the Merchants s
Club this afternoon to listen to the Gov
ernor and bid him farewell on the eve of
his departure for his home.
John Chafin presided and introduced
Governor Sayers, who spoke about the de-
vastation at Galveston. and the work of
relief, for which the Merchants Associa

more. He also spoke of the commercial
relations between Texas and the city OF
New York. He ended his address by
thanking the members present for their
work in the aid and saying that it would
never be forgotten by the people of Texas.
Mr.. Challin then said that the people of
New York would be all the more ready
to purchase stock in Texas since the pros
poets and conditions had been so clearly
depicted by Governor Sayers. He then
gracefully introduced Abram S. Hewitt,
who, on rising to speak, grasped Governor
Sayers by both hands. Mr.. Hewitt ex
pressed himself as in entire sympathy
with Texas, its Governor it's people and
the stand which every one is taking to

Do Republicans Measure De
mocrats by Themselves?
Senator Jones lntimates That Such Charges as
That Bryan Woald Pack Supreme Court
Locks Like II.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Ills, Oct. Ex-senator James
X. Jones, Chairman of the Democratic
National committee, today made the fol-
lowing statement:
1T has been the fashion for the Repub-
licans for some years to denounce Dem
ocrats as anarchists, revolutionists and
the Republican party seems to have q
monopoly of revolutionary suggestions
just now.
We see a Secretary of the Treasury
in an effort to disturb the business of the
country for political effect, suggesting
that Mr.. Bryan in case of his election
would deliberately evade the law with a
purpose as unstatesmanlike and unpa-
triotic as his own in making this sug-
gestion. Fortunately Mr.. Bryan has been
before the public long enough for every
one to know that tricks and false pre-
lenses are not among his weapons, and
suggestions of this kind excite contempt
But worse than this is the fact that
other men who should despise such pre-
lenses, affect TO believe that in case Mr.
Bryan shall be elected. he will pack the
Supreme court for purposes of his own
Can it possible that these men themselves
actually contemplate such revolutionary
methods in case Mckinley elected? Ger
tainly no such revolutionary schemes
have been advocated or even suggested
by any Democrat of whom l have ever
heard. There is nothing in any Demo-
cratic platform or in the utterances of
any assemblage of Democrats or of any
single leading Democrat to suggest such
an idea. These suggestions originate only
with Republicans and seem to show when
once the party has abandoned the prin-
ciples of the Constitution, to what extra
ordinary lengths its extreme members
arc likely to CO. This manifestation is of
itself a strong argument for return to
strict observance of the principles of
the Constitution and of the Democratic
doctrine of conservative and honest gov
ernment.
Il repeat that there is nothing in any
Democratic utteralce upon which this
fear of attack upon the Supreme court
can be founded. The construction put
upon the expressions in the Democratic
platform of 1896 which were perverted
and misconstrued as a basis for such
charges. was unwarranted and untrue. No
such purpose has ever entered the mind
of any Democrat, but the leading idea
with Democrats everywhere is to return
to the principles of the Constitution and
to faithfully administer the laws as writ
ten

TRUSTS FEAR THE PUBLIC.
enator Jones on Strike Settlement Hanna's
Voice Powerful With Operators.
(By the Associated Press.)


Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Chairman Jones, of
the Democratic National committee said
TODAY:
THE settlement of the miners strike
indicates clearly the fact that the trusts
are beginning7 to have a wholesale re-
gard for public opinion. They would not
have yielded to the demands Of the men
except from a fear that the consequences
might be disastrous to the administration
which is the friend of the trusts This
public opinion will not be lost 1t means
that the trusts are themselves afraid of
the people and is a hopeful sign for De-
mocracv.
At Republican National headquarters
Secretary Heath stated that some weeks
before the strike was ordered Chairman
Hanna was rquested by a delegation
headed by President Mitchell, to try to
effect a settlement of the miners grev-
ances. Mr.. Hanna informed the delegation
that he was glad to hear from them and
that he would consult with the mine own
ers so as to be informed on both sides of
the situation. After doing so he conclud-
ed that nearly all of the claims of the
miners should be allowed. The principal
object of Mr.. Hanna's last visit to New
York, Mr.. Heath said, was to consult with
the mine owners and railroad officials,
and he then secured a promise that they
would agree to substantially all of the
miners demands.
