DEPEN AT HOME.
Makes Some Brief Remarks About
China and Politics.

New York, August 25 Two boats, one
carrying business men, the other polite.
ians, went down the bay this morning
to welcome Senator Chauncey M, Depew
back from his annual European trip, and
to bring him ashore from the liner.
The steamer was sighted off Sandy
Hook at six O'Clock this morning, and
the Senator'S admirers had to make an
early start
Mr.. Depew decided to stay on the
steamer, and SO, after shaking the hands
OF his friends, chatted with them while
the vessel went up the bay.
He asked about the latest news from
Pekin. ibid they catch the EMPEROR
he queried, when told that the Americans
had entered the imperial city. II was
in hopes they'd catch him and set him
up, said the Senator when his question
was answered negatively.
"Send him up, did you sayS'' he was
asked.
"Oh, no, said set him up Make
him an emperor. make man of him.
That is unquestionably what we've got
to do. If we can only get the old en-
press out of the way we can do it,
The Senator referred to the anti-impe-
rialists as turtle Americans - The
American eagle has no she'll, he said.
''The American people will not stand for
our withdrawal from our rightful posi-
tion in the east. Mckinley will get the
largest electoral vote given in a genera
ton. Bryan is less dangerous than four
years ago. His personal influence viii
not count. He stands for two princI-
pies: First, free s1lver-that means pam
ic; and, second, withdrawal from the
Philippines-thatm means national humil-
iabion.
The people of Europe are watching
this campaign very closely. The papers
are as full of it as they were of our silver
issue four years ago. 1t is a new thing
for them to realize that America is to be
taken into account in the east. TheyEeach
claim their spheres. Yha adjustment is
so delicate that our present force can
move the balance OF power in any way.
We virtually control the situation. No
body is disposed to put us out and no one
will do 1t, unless we ourselves.
But everywhere you go the first ques-
ton of German, Italian, Fren Gilman,
Russian, alike IS: Are you realI going
to quit. Don't you consider yourse I've S
equal to the jobP We don't think you
are. -

CROKER TO YOUNG MEN.
The Tammany Boss Advises Them To
Go Into Politics.

New York. August 25.-Richard Gro
ker talked at a meeting of the Tammany
hall executive committee yesterday after
noon, advising young men to get Into
politics. He said in part:
Il should like to make few remarks
on matter that / consider to be one OF
the most important OF the hour, and that
is the necessity that you should impress
on the young men, OF your districts the
Importance to them of joining the young
mems clubs that are being formed
throughout the United States. If l were
to use a common, every day expression
OF the condition of the young men seeking
future l should say they were up
against 1t.
IA young man may get a start, or
what looks like a start. but 1 don't care
what he is-clerk, messenger, bookkeeper
or anything you please-there is no lad
der on which he can climb.
Hundreds of letters come to me from
young men every day telling me just
these things, and hundredsof letters come
to me from young men telling me they
cannot get employment.
You ought to get all the young men
to be politicians, to study their condi-
t1ons and to learn how to make them
better. There is no hope for them in
trusts, no chance to advance. Invite
them to join you. Invite them to make
speeches, whether they are orators or not
Get them to give their ideas of the issues
OF the day, no matter how roughly they
give them.
9 II they don't want to join Tammany
clubs, let them join other clubs only get
them thinking Let them examine their
own condition and when they find that
they have no chance to get along they
will know what to do. Think Of your
own sons, leaders. / know many OF you
have them. If they are placed in trust
they are slaves to the trust.
Where are all the business places that
used to be a feature in all the country
not so many years ago? The little gro
Gerry stores and the others, where the
whole family had an interest and every
member OF the family so soon as he or she
was able, was emplOyed2 They have
been OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by the trusts.
Matters like these ought to be called
to the attention of the young men, for
with their help there can be- no question
about the result. If l had nothing to do
with this organization, or whether l was
Republican or a Democrat, / would get
up and talk about it as / do now. II
the issues of this campaign were thor
Oughly understood, Bryan would get 90

How much truth there is in the rumor
that Russia and Germany have practi-
cally declared wax against China, it is
impossible to say, but 1t would not be
surprising if it should turn out to be a
fact so far eat least as the former power
is concerned. Russia has been practical
iy at war with China for some weeks
in Manchurla where her troops have had
several pitched battles with the Chinese
and it would not be strange ii she had
concluded to keep it up until she is in
a position to dictate terms to the Chi
nese. Germany would very likely follow
Russia's lead, especially as China has
given her a good casus belli by murder
ing her ambassador. If it turns out TO
be true that these two powers have de
clared war the United States Will prob
ably have to choose between declaring
war too, or removing its troops. We
can't very well stay there and remain
neutral. AS between following Russia
and Germany and withdrawing it's troops
the United States would doubtless prefer
the latter, If circumstances admitted
but matters may SO shape themselves
that in order to protect our rights we
may have to follow the example set by
the other powers.

1t seems to be practically settled that
Chairman Odel of the Republican state
committee is to be Republican candidate
for Governor of New York. P1att is tor
him and Gov. Roosevelt has just ex-
pressed his appreciation. The chances
are that he will be nominated by accla-
nation. Apparently Croker is gaining in
his Hight against Coler, having succeeded
In capturing one of HiIl's counties.
Coler has gained too good reputation
for honesty to be popular with the domi
nant element of his party and the chances
are now that he Will be defeated, thong h
the fight is not yet over.

New York, August 25.-Passengers on
the Iiehigh Valley trains will not be- able
to purchase newspapers, fruit and candy
on the trains after September ]. as 1t
has been decided to abolish the custom of
carrying newsboys on trains
Many complaints have been made
about the manner in which the boys
peddle their goods. The Lehigh Valley
road will probably establish news
stands,~St which fruit and candy may
be bought, at its largest st ations.

enables me to heartily recommend the use
