The navy de2altmaut today contrib
used brief news item 10 the shape of
vindica,ion by Admiral Remey OF the
Uoited States marines from the general
cnsrge of lootlng at Tien Tsin. The
admiral had q good deal more than this
to report to the navy department, but
the officials did not regard the rest of
his report as proper for publication just
now. Gen. Miles and Gen. Burlington
were again in consultation, though sep.
a7ately, with Secretary Root today and
the suppositiou is that the Chinese
campaign was under consideration.

che Emperor of China to His Excel
lency tue President OF She United
States Greeting:
China has long maintained friendly
relations with the United States and
is deeply conscious that the object OF
the United States is international
commerce Neither country enter
.ains the Iesst suspicion or distEust
toward the other. Recent outbreak
of mutual antipathy between the
people of Christian missions caused
the foreign powers to view with sus
picioa the position Of the imperial
Government as favorable to the peo-
pie and prejudicisi to the missions,
with toe result that the Taku forts
were attacked and captured Conse
quently there has been cleshing OF
forces with calamitous consequences
The situation here becomes more and
more serious and critical We have
lust received g telegraphic memorial
from our envoy Wu Ting Fang, and
it is highly gratifying to US to ieaTo
:hat the United States government,
having ia view the friendly relations
between the two countries, has
taken deep interest u tee present
situation Now China, driven by
the irresistible course Of events, has
unfortunately incurred well nigh un'
versal Indignation. For settling the
present difficulty, China places sDe
cial reliance ia the United States
We address this message to your
excellency in ali sincerity and can
didness With the hope that you7 ex
celiency will devise measures and
taEe the initiative in bringing about
coocert of the powers for the res
.ora,ion of o,der and peace The
favor Of a kind reply is earnestly
requested and awaited with the
greatest anxiety.

CANDIDATES IN STRIKING CONTRAST.
Continued from First Page.

Mark Hanna says there are no trusts,
He is not sincere.
Hanna has embraced the trusts to
such an extent that he sees no evil in
| them, and even denies their existence.
Trusts deprive young men of the OPP
portunity to make their way in the
world. Is it true there are no trusts?
All over the land we are subjects to
them. We pay more for what we eat
and wear because of the trusts. Take
coal, for instance. We are now paying
an exorbitant price for it on account
of the combination of the mine owners.
The price of sugar at once declined
when the trust was broken. Oil was
once five or six cents per gallon, new
| it is nine, ten or eleven cents. This
rise is due to the Standard Oil Com
pany. Mr.. Salmon then cited an in
cident that occurred in California.
A man in drilling we'll on his farm
discovered oil and began supplying
| it to the neighborhood. An agent Of
the Standard Oil Company made a
proposition to buy him out. He re-
fused to sell and the company imme-
diately put the price of oil down SO
that the we'll owner could not compete
and was driven out of business. This
is the method of the trusts all the way
| through The beef trust puts up the
price to the consumer, yet it pays the
| farmer less for his cattle. The trusts
confine business to few hands, and
thereby the young man has no oppor-
| tunity. Can you look to the Repub-
lican party for remedy for these
evils when that party is supported by
contributions Of the trusts. These
evils should be suppressed, and any
party that favors the few is not de-
serving of support. The Democratic
party makes a declaration against
the trust that cannot be mistaken.
Last winter an attempt was made in
the house to deceive the people by
offering constitutional amendment
to regulate the trusts. The Democrats
believed that the remedy is in en-
forcing existing laws. The resolution
was offered on January 26 last, and
was referred. There were no serious
objections to the resolution as offered.
1t was referred to the Committee on
Resolutions, who, ignoring the minori-
ty, eliminated it's desirable features,
and brought it in just before adjourn
ment. Of course the Democratic
side of the House voted against it.
Before it was voted upon an arbi-
trary and despotic ruling was made
preventing it's amendment. The Re-
publicans offered the resolution know
ing it would be defeated. 1t was a
mere trick, and men of high character
in the minority voted against it.
Mr.. Salmon then criticized the clause
in President Mckinley letter of ac-
ceptance where it says that Congress
has given the island of Porto Rico
a government in which the inhabi-
tants participate. He said that this
was not so. The inhabitants did not
elect their own legislature, and the
principal officials were the appointees
of the President. " Mayor Fox here
informed the speaker that his time
had expired.

Lyceum Hall was comfortably filed
last Friday evening, the occasion
being the first meeting this season
of the Friday Evening Club. Eek
glorations, Arctic and Antartic, were
the subjects of the evening. The
commander of the Diana Arctic ex-
petition of 1899. and DR.. Frederick
"a. Cook, surgeon of the Belgium Ant
arctic expedition of 1897-99 Both leo
lures were illustrated with stereopti-
can views, and the scenes thrown on
the screen were made all the more
realistic by the frigidity of the atmos-
phere in the hall. Mr.. Bridgeman
dwelt on his long search for Lieuten-
ant Peary, and the pictures portraying
the various scenes Of the trip were
beautiful and fascinating. DR.. Cook
spoke of the manner in which his ex-
petition had travelled three Thousand
miles south of Cape Horn, where they
drifted in pack ice for thirteen months,
part of which time, seventy days,
was spent in absolute darkness. There
was vein of originality in DIR Cook s
address, and at times he was humor-
GUS to the extreme Altogether the
first meeting of the Club was a very
successful one, and the coming meet
iugs are being hooked forward to with
much interest.

The SHEEP MARKET.
Feeders In Colorado Are Unable to Secure
Animals In the Northwest.

John Petrie, connected with the live
stock department. of THE g" system, ar
rived from Salt Lake this morning, and
was ait Burlington headquarters during
THE day, while EN- route to Texas. Mr..
Petrie's special connection with the road
is to look after the sheep interests, and
his "trip to the west was for THE purpose
of securing a let of 0 1000 sheep for Ar
thu Strong, of Greeley, who is feeding
about $4,000 sheep in Colorado.
II started west to see If I could get
that number of sheep for Mr.. Strong"
he said, but sheep are too high, and l
couldn't touch them ait any price. Ami
mails and wool are way up. I should say
there are about 400, 900 sheep feeding in
Nebraska this year, about 20 per cent
short of last years feed, but the prices
are better. l might say, too, THAT feed
Is cheaper. Corn COSTS 6 CENTS less, and
HAY is cheap. Sheepmben are holding
lambs at Z CENTS and wethers at 5k in
March. In Idaho l found THAT $3.50 per
head was being asked for wethers with
wool ON, holding ewes ait $3.50 per head.
One bunch sold ant Rawlins a short time
ago at Sc per head. A good many spring
clips have been contracted for at 20
cents per pound. and there are some
who expect ITO see the price go to %
CENTS a pound. "-Denver Times.
