PEKING, Sept. q. via Taku. Sept. 2s.--
All the foreign ministers have addressed
notes TO Prince Ching, suggesting the re-
turn TO Picking OF the emperor and the
escort The notes were Informal, and
not written In diplomatic capacity. The
writer's do not consider them binding
upon their respective governments The
diplomats acted Jointly IN the matter,
but the letters were sent individually
These did not contain any assurance but
merely suggested the return Of the en-
peror.
Prince Ching undertook 10 deliver the
notes. The outcome is n matter Of
speculation, the doubtful element being
the influence OF Prince Tuan and Gen.

monarch would enter the camp OF his nj

Mr.. BRYAN RESUMES
HIS CAMPAIGN TALKS.
Confines Himself to a Discussion of
Trusts and the Standing
Army.

OMAHA. Neb., Sept. 2T.-Mr Bryan
made the first stop of the day at Papilion.
In order TO make the point In time for tho
meeting, Mr.. Bryan left the Rock Island
NJ Richfield and drove a few miles across
the country The county Of sarpy is
candidate was cordially received. lie con-
tended that the policies promised by the
Democratic party were In the interest of
me people throughout, while those OF the
Republican party were antagonistic to the
public welfare. Especially, he contended,
was the Democratic plan of government
In the interest OF the farmer He said.
You have had a Republican administra-
ton for four years, and now you are TO
decide whether you are going. to re-em-
pioy the president. You have had a Re-
publican congressman In this district. and
now you are to decide whether you are
going TO re-empoy him.
Speaking of the trusts Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred to the meeting at Nebraska City,
saying:
II was In Nebraska City last night.
They have starch trust down there,
and when the attorney general of the
state began to prosecute the starch trust
they had mass meeting to protest
against the enforcement of the law, and
the Republican district judge was chair
man OF the committee on resolutions.
condemning the attorney general for do
ing what he promised to do when he took
his oath Of Office.
In regard to the large standing army
issue he said:
Il have been criticised because I sug-
gested that they wanted 10 tax the peo-
pie TO support an army OF 100 900 in idle
ness. and am accused Of saying that our
army is idle. Let me ask those who de-
sire to criticize that statement What
does the army dor The Republicans say
that the Philippine war win soon be over.
and what II the army going TO do then?
IL simply kills people that Is all. IL Is
better to have Idle army than IL IL 10
have one shedding blood all the time.
You Republicans who do not like to have
an idle standing army must find some
thing for the army to do, and you had
better take my view OF II. because when
your army Is employed II means war and
bioodshed and the only excuse that Il IS
not TO be idle is that II must be engaged
In the prosecution of war"
