Music of Kind Words.
Let us be careful how we shoot at
Others lest we take down the wrong
one, remembering the servant of King
William Rufus, who shot at a deer,
but the arrow glanced at a tree and
killed the king. Instead of going out
with shafts to pierce and razors TO
cut we had better initiate the friend
of Richard Occur de Lion Richard, in
the war OF the Crusades, was captured
and imprisoned, but none of his
friends knew where, so his loyal friend
went around the land from stronghold
to stronghold and sang at each win
dow a snatch CT song that Richard
Occur Dc Lion had taught him in other
days. And one day, coming before a
jail where he suspected his king
might be incarcorated. he sang two
lines CT song, and Immediately King
Richard responded from his cell with
the other two lines, and so his where
about5 were discovered, and a success
full movement was at once made for
his liberation. So let us so up and
down the world with the music of kind
words and sympathetic hearts, se.e-
nading the unfortunate, and trying to
get oct OF trouble men who had noble
natures, but by unforeseen circum-
stances have been incarcerated, thus
liberating kings. More hymnbook and
less razor.

Further, my text tells us that Goa
sometimes shavcs nations, "In the

shaved the American nation. We had

did not heed. AT length the word Of

AMERICA IS EMBARRASSED.
PROMISE TO RUSSIA PUTS 1T IN A
DILEMMA.
Conger Strongly Advises Keeping the
Troops at Peking-Gen. Chaffee Ad-
vises Withdrawing to Tientsin.

WASHINGTON, September 17.--Rus-
STA, France and China are urging the
United States to begin at once negoti-
atoms with China for peace ana in
demnity. Action in this respect was
suggested to the State Department to-
day by M de Wollant, the Russian
Charge dAffaires, and Mr. WI, the
Chinese Minister.
incidentally, but really as a matter
of first Importance, NJ. de Wollant is in
curing whether the United States has
changed its mind with reference to the
early withdrawal of it's troops from
Peking. 1t would appear from this in
quiry Of the Russian Charge d'Affaires
that Russia is endeavoring to spur the
United States to the action which Rus
STA expected and which the Secretary of
| War announced as the policy of the
! United States, namely that the with
drawal of Russia would be instantly
followed by the United States.
There is no question here that the
| United States is in a dilemma, not only
by reason of it's promise to Russia, but
by the diverse advice it has received
from Minister Conger and General
Chaffee. One of the Administration
officials admitted today that Minister
Conger expressed himself so forcibly
in advocacy of retaining the greater
part, if not all, of the troops at Peking
4
been secured from China, that the State
\ Department thought it prudent not to
give out his dispatch to the press. The
lISussian Charge d'Affaires was inform
ed of Minister Conger's opinions today.
| General Chaffee who is virtually the
american diplomatic as well as military
authority, in China, has advised the
United States to get the army to Tien-
tsin. The State Department has decid-
ed to await the arrival of Ii Hung
Chang at Picking, where he will meet
and confer with Mr. Rockhin, 1t will
thus be a week or so before the Ad-
ministration win be able to announce
what it will do.
In the meanwhile the Chinese Min
listers at London and Berlin are making
the argument for haste in the negotia-
lions which Mr.. WI has made here and
in which he is seconded by Russia and
France. 1t is obvious that if Russia
and France get the negotiations on a
formal basis it will furnish them with
an additional reason for sending their
forces to Tientsin, or any point outside
of Picking.
Minister WI is so anxious that the
negotiations begin that he requested
the State Department to cable Minis
ter Conger to confer with Prince Ching,
who has been named as one OF China s
ENJOYS. This was done at the instance
of Prince Ching, who sent his first mes
sage today to Mr.. WI.
Minister Conger's policy of maintain
ing the authority of the United States
at Picking with an army will not pre-
vail, however, if the War Department
can prevent it. At this department he
is accused of a lack of appreciation of
the circumstances, and that he is un-
duly alarmed
