HOW BRYAN's WAY is PAID.
The People, Not Corporations, Hire the Trains,
He Declares.
Dy the Associated Press }


Peoria, Ills, Oct. 9.--Mr. Bryan took
occasion here to answer the charge that
he is being paid for his speeches. In
part he said:
Il am not as rich a man as you would
imagine from reading the Republican pa
pers. find it difficult to reconcile their
statements about my financial condition.
One time they say that am so ambitious
t hat | would spend all my money to be
President and another that l am so
unless / am paid for it. l notice
avaricious that | Will not make a speech
criticism in the papers that the people
of the towns through which our train
passes have contributed to the expenses
Of the train and it was suggested that
was Tor my Jenefit. | need not tell you
that | receive nothing for making
speeches; but my friends / want you to
know that when men ride on trains they
must either pay or the railroad COM
panieS must furnish them with free rides
We do not want a railroad to carry our
train free through the State, and there
fore the State committee paid about q
thousand dollars for the train for yester-
day and today. We believe it is better
for people to pay their way and to be
them after election. ] would a great deal
rather have Republican papers criticise
me becauseqpeople along the road pay
the expenses of the train than to receive
free rides from the railroad companies
and have corporations run me if elected
because they furnished the trains.''

cannot be any question II men, mar
ried women, 13 single women, Is children,
total 43.
OF these killed the following were
Americans:
Three men, one married woman, 6 sin
gle women, children, total 13.
OF those in Tai Yuen Flu who were un-
questiOnably massacred July 9th, ten

gle women, seven children. Total 30, all
British.
There are still some missionaries in the
Provinces of Kan sub and Kwoi Chow
who have not been heard from for some
time, but there is good reason to hope
that they will get to places of safety.
AGREEMENT WITH RUSSIA.
Berlin, Oct. 9-The Post says an agree
ment exists between Germany and Rus
sia by which Germany is to control the
railroad from Pelkin to Yang Tsun and
Russia is to control the road from Yang
Tsun to Tong Ku.
The Post also denies that Germany
will send an expedition to Sian Flu.
WHEN CHING WILL RETURN.
Pekin, Oct. 6.-Prince Ching has re-
ceived an edict from the Emperor, dated
October 1st in reply to note sent at
the request of the legations, saying he
will return to Pekin as soon as the nego-
tiations take q favorable turn.

Chicago, Ills, Oct. 9.-John G. Woolley
Prohibition nominee for President who
has tust returned from a nine days trip
through the South on special train this
evening, made the following statement
'"The meetings in Indiana have been the
greatest of the series SO far in compari
son to former meetings in this State. The
popularity of our work in Indiana is that
we seem to draw our converts about even
ly from the two old parties.
''The trip of the special train increases
daily in interest. Our heaviest work be-
gins tonight at the Chicago meeting. On
the Eastern trip we will hold nearly
double as many meetings a day as we did
on the Western and Southern trips"

mlttees would observe the request that
has been repeatedly made, namely, that
the place of meeting should be at the
depot where I can speak from the rear of
the car or from a platform erected within
few feet OF the train. Sometimes a
committee insists on a parade from the
depot to the middle of the town, even
when the stop is short. Such a parade
not only consumes the time that might
otherwise be used in speaking, but it adds
to the fatigue of the journey and then
subjects me to the danger of taking cold
At short stops it is necessary to speak
rapidly, and if l then have to ride a
quarter Of mile in the carriage l am
chilled before 1 can reach the car. l am
doing all the work that / think it safe to
do, and hope that local committees will
recognize this and hereafter arrange for
speaking at the deoots."

MEETING OF THE CABINET
Discussion of the Answer to the
French Note.
OUR TROOPS TO FIGHT NO MORE IN CHINA
This the Program so Long as They Are Not
Attacked. Within fortnight All But
Legation Guard viii Have
left Pekin.
Left Pekin.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 9.-The Cabinet meet
a half hours was devoted almost exclu-
sively to discussion of the Chinese ques-
ton. Special consideration was given to
the French note and it is understood
that a more or less definite conclusion
was reached as to the nature Of the re-
ply which will be made by this Govern
ment, but it has not yet been put in
diplomatic form. It's purport will not be
made public for the present.
1t developed today that Minister Con-
ger, in compliance with suggestion from
Secretary Hay, had submitted to the
State Department a list of ten or twelve
names of Chinese officials who were
prominent in the Boxer movement against
the foreigners and in a great measure
were responsible for the assaults upon
the legations in Pekin. These officials,
MIR Conger, believes should be included
with Prince Tuan and others in any
punishments which are to be inflicted
upon those who took a prominent part
in the Pelin outrages. 1t is not un-
likely that the position of this Govern
ment in regard to the punishment of
these officials will be stated in reply to
the French note.
General Chaffee continues to execute
the programme for the withdrawal of the
military forces already outlined, and he
has notified the War Department that he
will have all of his men except the lega-
tion guard out of China inside of fort
night.
The American troops will take no furth-
or part in any military operations in
China, Mess they are attacked, which is
not believed to be probable. The Off
cials do not credit the Russian admiral s
report that they participated in the talk
ing of Shan Kai Kwan, as the sense of
General Chaffee's orders was directly
contrary to such participation.
DOWAGER EMPRESS ILL
Pekin. Oct. 7.-(Via Tien Tsin, October
Sth, and Shanghai, October 9th)-Trust-
worthy Chinese reports say that the
Dowager Empress is seriously i'll at Ia
Yuan Flu province of Shan SD, and the
free hand of the Emperor in affairs OF
state of late is regarded as confirmatory
of these reports.

ON BASIS OF THE FRENCH NOTE.
France Says Indications of Coming Settle
ment Are Strong.
(By The Associated Press. J


Paris, Oct. 9.--It is semi officially an
nounced today that the news received
here from China is now more reassur-
ing than the English dispatches make
out that an agreement between the pow
ers will be arrived at on the basis of M
Delcasse's note, that the reported arrival
of Ii Hung Chang at Pekin has been
confirmed and that confirmation has also
been received of the degradation of Prince
Tuan.
The officials of the French Foreign Of
flee are elated over the reception which
Frances not has secured in Europe, and
it is hopeful and sanguine that it will
result in common understanding which
will permit OF early peace negotiations.
France, however, has not yet received
the formal reply of any power, but the
verbal statements made by the various
Ambassadors on the presentation of the
note led the Government to believe it
will be accepted everywhere except in
Great Britain and the United States.
These powers agree to certain features
while objecting to others, but do not
take a stand which is inimical, generally,
to the propositions of N. Delcasse.
The Temps account of the Cabinet
Council says NJ. Delcasse submitted dis
patches from the French representatives
abroad showing the negotiations with the
powers are continuing under good condi-
tions and that this permits of hope Of
n favorable solution of the questions be-
ing considered.

4 NARROW ESCAPE
Oceanic Nearly Sh pNreCked

A Fogbank Suddenly Lifted Showing Breakers

New York, Oct. "a spe4Etl cable dis
patch from Queenstown to the Evening

''The giant White Star Liner Oceanic,
which arrived here today, had a narrow
escape from shiDwreck off the coast of
Ireland.
while approaching the coast and try
ing to pick up the Fastnet Light what ap-
peared to be a fogbank suddenly lifted
and showed land dead ahead. The break
ers could be plainly seen crashing on the
rocks, and the vessel touched bottom, but
Captain Cameron Immediately stopped his
engines, reversed them and backed into
deep water without the ship being in
iured.
"It was only owing to the care of the
captain that terrible disaster was avert
ed The Oceanic was going slowly on ac-
count of the fog, and trying to pick up the
land. 1t was o'clock in the morning
when the fog lifted and showed the land
right ahead, the position being then be-
tween the rocks known as the Bull. Cow
and Calf and the Browhead.
''The land was so close that on each bow
could be seen a regular cave. The stop
ping of the engines shook up and awoke
everybody
Half minute after the engines were
reversed, but before the Oceanic was
stopped she struck with a grinding, graf
ing noise. She then quickly swung clear
Tranquil and confident in the skill of
the captain, the women passengers in the
saloon behaved admirably, showing the
greatest coolness in the presence of
danger.
1.-THE watertight compartments were
closed within two minutes on Captain
Cameron's orders as soon as the danger
was perceived. The lifeboats were clear
ed away ready for lowering with the pre-
cision of clockwork and the crew were at
quarters at once"

disappearing Gun Carriages.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, Oct. 9.-The Board of Ord
nance and Fortifications has been holding
a nrotracted session in Washington and
adjourned today after taking important
action regarding disappearing gun car
riages. The board has recommended to
the Secretary of War that no more dis
appearing gun carriages be made. There
has been much contention among army
officers for some time, especially among
artillery officers, as to the value of dis
appearing gun carriages upon fortifica-
tions for coast defence. The concensus of
opinion has been that the disappearing
carriage was gocd for low sites. but the
majority seemed to think that it was not
best for high sites.
The action of the board, if sustained by
the Secretary of War. will be of far
reaching Importance in the future of coast
defences.
