times in my life have had dreams SO
horrible as to almost wreck my whole
nervous system.
For instance: One night, several
years ago, after / had put in a hard
days work at the polls. working for
the success of the republican ticket,
Satan himself Seemed TO stand beside
my bed-hOrns, clOven foot and all

Bxt the dream seemed SO real that
I cOald not sleep any more that
night. OF course repented in sack
cloth and ashes and vowed solemnly
would never be guilty of that sin again,
and by the help OF the Lord l have not.

consent among US that, as the year

not paid-and we had often heard him
use expressions about Salvation be-
ing free"-we would just rub out"
and begin over again. Sowe began
to kick about his ''inetficiency,' rs
men generally do when they want to

I did not feel quite easy about what
we were doing, but conspEed my con-

we had expected, and when we remon-

The Daily Chronicle publishes an inter-
view with the japanese Minister in London

ing said:
THE Empress is the heart and soul of
China So long as she lives. so long as she
remains in China, whether the supreme
power Is taken from her or not, she will all
ways be the greatest force. the one above all
others to be reckoned with. The difficulty
will be to get any one who can speak for
her. i fear that the influence Of LII Hung
Chang is now of extremely little weight.
The Powers must come to a final under
standing quickly. Riots, anarchy, blood
shed and misery throughout China will be
the inevitable result Of a policy that does
not Immediately disclose itself The Govern
ment must be re-established"
The japanese envoy expressed his appro-
val Of the reported American suggestion re-
garding a conference of the Powers, and
said he believed that satisfactory pecuniary
compensation could be secured If the re-
sources of China were properly developed,
despite the fact that her present revenues
are pledged.

cording to the Daily Nails correspondent,
expresses the opinion that his labors in
China will be of long duration, 'as pacifi-
cation will be difficult undertaking.

siderable gloom among the Americans and
those who sympathized with them and he
was most welcome. He said that he never
knew a man who was willing to fight
and so fearless of danger as the gallant
Reilly.
The death of Captain Henry Reilly in
Pekin caused deep regret among army Of
ficers who knew him well. He was said to
be an ideal artillery officer. thoroughly
understanding his profession. brave and
energetic.

AT the same time, this Government has

forth in the several communications OF the

raised as to whether Ii Hung Chang could
be considered the representative of the Gov

whom the Powers could negotiate That
would be settled when the Peace Commits
sioners met, and in due diplomatic course.
SO far as we know. Earl Ii is the true rep
resentative of the Government. The edict
OF the Emperor that was presented to us
proclaimed him SO, and that Is sufficient. so
far as it goes.

upon negotiations until there is govern

NOT NEGOTIATING HERE.
Wall Street Knows Nothing OF
Russia's New Loan.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Aug. 22-Wall street flnanciers
shrugged their shoulders to-day when the
story of Russia's endeavor to negotiate a
loan of sl5O0o0,0 600 was called to their atten-
ton. Insurance and banking interests here
furnished no confirmation of the tale.
The National City Bank. it was authorita-
lively learned, knows nothing of the rumor.
The New York Life Insurance Company
owns, it is understood, about $14,S00G00 Of
Russian per cent railroad bonds. These
bonds are guaranteed by the Russian Gov
eminent. The corporation does not contem-
plate any immediate addition to its Rus
sian holdings.
The Equitable Life Assurance Society has
approximately 100000 in Russian railway
bonds. A representative of the Equitable
said to-day that the matter of Russa's de-
sire to obtain loan here had not even been
called to the attention of the company.
A well-known banker, iE discussing the
rumor. said:
II know nothing about the matter, but it
should be borne in mind that Russia, as a
debtor nation, will go where she can get
money most cheaply. do not believe that
the best terms can be made here. She prob
ably will do better in Paris. That is the
situation at present. But it might be
changed on short notice"

Northern Company that the cable between
Che-Foo and Taku is open for business and
that messages may now be accepted for
Tien-Tsin, to which point there is military
line. The signal officer of the War Depart
ment has been notified that the military line
to Pekin is in operation, but owing to the
lack of poles and other adverse conditions
it probably will be subject to a good deal of
interruption. 1t is thought at the depart

assist materially in getting prompt news
from Pekin to the outside world.
