From Time to Time.
CHANGE IN THE NAT. EX. COMMITTEE

(By the Associated Prcss.)

Chicago, August 10.-William J. Bryan
will make no such extended speech MAX
ing tour of the country this campaign as
he did four years ago. He will make a
number of speeches, but they will be all
in connection with special occasions and
not a part of a general swinging around
the circuit. That much was determined
during the talks which MIR Bryan had
with the members of the Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic National Com
mittee today and that was all which was
determined.
The membership of the committee was
revised so as to give New York State a
representation on it. Committeeman
Head, of Tennessee, withdrew, giving as
a reason that he had not time to attend
to its duties, and Norman e, Mack, Ma
tional Committeeman from New York,
was named in the place of Mr.. Head on
the Executive committee
Speaking of his own plans fer the cam
paign, so far as they were determined
on today, Mr.. Bryan said:
mo regular programme of speeches by
me will be mapped out and no special
itinerary is arranged l shall make a
few speeches and during the campaign
the times and dates will be announced
from time to time as they are determined
upon Just now there is no announcement
of any kind to make because no. date
has been as yet fixed or any arrangement
made. When it is settled that 1 am
to appear at any particular place the an
nouncement will be made Then there
will be nothing further TO give out until
another time and place is determined on
Every speech will be Independent of all
others"
ASKED If this was meant to include the
outing of Irish societies here on next
Wednesday and that of the trades unions
on Labor Day, Mr.. Bryan said:
Yes, it is not yet decided whether
shall appear at either or both of these
occasions
In response to a question as to his
formal letter of acceptance of the Demo
cratic nomination Mr.. Bryan replied:
Il cannot say now when that letter
will be ready; it certainly is not written
yet"
Mr. Bryan expects to remain here un-
til Monday at least, and perhaps longer
Then he will go to Lincoln.

less direct that Mr. Conger leave Pekin

has advised Washington that this would
mean certain death. Moreover the reply
doubtless let's the Minister know that
there is an accountable error in the
statement of the Chinese Government,
as conveyed to him through the Tsung
Ii Yamen. that the foreign governments
had urged repeatedly that the Ministers
be sent out OF Pekin under suitable es-
cort. This clause contained in Mr.. Con-
gers latest dispatch clearly shows that
the Chinese Government is leading him
to believe that it is the wish of Wash
ingtCn that he leave under a Chinese
escort, whereas the United States Govern
ment never has entertained for a moment
the idea of having the Minister set out
on the dangerous pilgrimage from Pekin
to the coast under Chinese protection.
There is no probability that the at
tention of the Chinese Government will
be directed to its apparent double dealing
as indicated by the Conger da11atch.
This Government has itransm1 ted ITO

the Chinese Government entrusted to

that they have not advised their respec-

stated at the close of the day, that no
further representations have been made
to the Chinese Government since the

will be made until the Chinese Govern

A REAL DESIRE FOR PEACEo
London, August 11-(Saturday, 40
a. m.)-The morning papers express sat
lsfactiCn at the latest developments in
China. The average comment is that
China is now genuinely suing for peace
through Lii Hung Chang
DISPATCHES printed this morning give
further details of the taking of Yang
Tsun. According to the Daily Mails
correspondent the attack was led by the
Americans and British. The Chinese po-
sition consisted of seven lines of en-
trenchments. The enemy fell back from
one to another, until, driven from the
last line, they fled toward Pekin COM
Tletely demoralized. The Chinese say
they retreated because the British
poured poison into their trocrs. This
refers to the lyddite shells, which the
Chinese then experienced for the first
time.
The correspondent adds that the Brit
ish casualties were 200 and the American
250; but the latter estimate, is will be
noticed, is four times greater than that
of General Chaffee's report
A st. Petersburg special says the Chi
nese Minister there, Yang Tu, has re-
ceived a telegram announcing that Lii
Hung Chang is dangerously i'll and con-
fined to his bed and that he has been
granted p months leave.
Another ST. Petersburg dispatch asserts
that the Russian general staff have been
notified that the Chinese, 10000 strong,
are moving from Hu Nan and HUI Pei to-
ward Pekin and Tien Tsin.
The Shanghai cores pondent of the
Daily News wiring Thursday, announces
that the Chinese merchants are petition
ing the authorities not to land troops.

TO PRESS ON TO THEIR RELIEF.
Conger's cablegram Shows the Necessity of
Quick Action by This Government
f(By the Associated Press.


Washington, August 10.-In the light
of the latest dispatch from Minister Con-
ger, received by the State Department
through Minister WI today, the attitude
of the Administration is that there is
but one thing to be done in the present
circumstances: namely, to press ON to
the relief of the besieged garrison at
Pekin.
This was made known after extended
communications between Washington and
the President at Canton. The Conger
dispatch was accepted as showing con-
elusive justification for the imperative
demand of the United States sent to
the Chinese Government on Wednesday
night insisting that the Imperial troops
cooperate with the international forces
in the resct of the Ministers, and until
this condition, as well as that of the
cessation of the bombardment is fully
conceded by China there is no other
course open but to press steadily onward
in the mission Of relief.
The Conger dispatch was received be-
fore daylight at the Chinese legation,
and as soon as the official day opened
Minister WI presented it to Acting Secre-
tary Adee at the State Department 1t
WdS III LHe Au6TICdu ClpneT, anu was
found to be an identical note with that
of the other Ministers at Pekin, Chat of
the French Minister, M. Pichon, already
faving appeared), with the additional
fact that seven members of the American
guard had been killed and IS wounded.
The discussion with the President led
to the determination to reply to the Con-
ger message at once, and accordingly
Secretary Root and Acting Secretary Adee
conferred on the terms of his reply. The
text was ready by g o'clock, and it was
forwarded late in the day. 1t was an
IgJrnced officially and positively that
this message would net be made public
either in whole or in substance. 1t was
