ONLY A MISTAKE.
Chinese Minister Says that the Taku 1nci-
dant Will he EXPLAINED.

Chinese Minister Says that the Taku Incl.
dent will be Explained.
"War? It's absurd" said Mr.. WI
Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, to
the newspaper men at Washington last
Tuesday night:
"What would you say Of the firing
upon the ships of the allied forces ?'
he was asked. ..
"It was mistake. 1t will be ex'
planned. It is not understood, I be-
lieve. Often in state of unrest forts
fire shots across the bow or over ships
which proceed within range of their
guns as warding not to 60 on. Why
this is not war. Insurrection is not
war. Such talk is nonsense. Some
people say this afternoon that am 60
ing to leave here. That is ridiculous
Why should I? There is no authen'
tic information, officially or otherwise
that indicates to my mind an offense
against the American people. Fabrj.
cations, all fabrications. Rumors all
of them. ...
'"You ask me if have learned any
thing" he continued. "No have not.
It is not the policy of my country te
send information to me or to my col.
leagues in Europe of a condition such
as is described in the public papers
The best indication to my mind that
that condition does not exist is the
form to which it has been exaggerated
is the very fact that neither l, nor my
colleagues in Europe, have been in
formed of it or of anything else by our
government. We would be the very
first to know of it here, and the infor'
nation would come to US because there
would be great deal for US to say to
to the governments to which we have
been sent. Do you think that if my
government wanted to send us infor.
nation. that it could not use the wires
over which they have control? Would
any of the countries through which
the wires pass refuse to transmit mes
sage to me or to my colleagues?
"You ask me to express myself on
the situation. Lam perfectly willing
to do 80. It is particularly my mis-
sion here to satisfy the American peo-
pie of the good feeling of my country.
1 cannot fabricate, though. I must
tell the truth. That is-that 1 do not
know any more Of the situation in
Pekin than you do. lam perfectly
willing to tell you all I know. have
heard nothing officially. I am looking
for news through the newspapers and
willing to give them what I have: l
cannot talk with you upon complica-
tions that may arise. That would be
impossible. Upon anything that l am
assured has happened I am very will
ing to speak,"
Mr.. WI will inform the state depart
ment Immediately upon receiving any
advices from his government. There
was report tonight that Mr.. WI was
to be held a hostage by this govern
ment for the safety of Minister Conger.
One enterprising newspapaper had
men watching the Chinese legation
until late hour for the appearance OF
the arresting party.

SUTHERLAND'S DEFENSE.

defense of George Sutheands labor record That Is per-

have done the thing had either been when can

But from all accounts neither of these magnates would
have succeeded in making their congressional candidate quite
ridiculous the Republican organ has made Sutherland
In its editorial defense Mr. Sutherland Troune saws:
There were measures relating to labor, in the
house and one in the senate"
It goes to say that these bills were combined that the
house bill merged into the bill which
with Mr. Suherands support This does agree with the
record with Candidate Stherands explanation course
which appeared the first page of yesterdays Tribune In
planning the substance OF these Mr.

In defining his attitude this question the Republican
candidate for congress says:
so deemed it unwse pass such BILL and voted against
it in the senate and have apologies make the

Another ridiculous assertion from organ is as
follows 1T Che HERALD tells of house bill which but

KNAVES OR FOOLS?

The final gasps of the Mckinley
press in the east is urging people to
vote and give Mckinley such a, ma
jority that the silver craze will be
effectuaHy killed. That is the rea-
soning of either knaves or thought
less people. Great principles are
never killed. They may go down in
an election or in a dozen elections,
but they always come back and keep
asserting themselves until the right
triumPhs. If Mr.. Bryan is over
thrown tomorrow, the silver question
will still go marching on and will
gather momentum, as it will be seen
that, after all, no prosperity can come
to this country until that question
shall be finally settled and on the
right side-salt Lake Tribune, Nov.
