BRYAN TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
Chairman Jones Denounces Recent
Republican Charges as False.

CHICAGO, Oct Ex-senator ]. K.
Jones. Chairman OF the National Demo
cratic Committee, has issued the follow
ing statement:
1T has been the fashion Of the Repub-
Democrats as Anarchists. revoluttonists,
and the like, but the Republican party
seems to have a monopoly revolution
airy suggestions just now.
we see a Secretary of the Treasury in
an effort TO disturb the business of the
country for political effect suggesting
that Mr.. Bryan, in case of his election.
would deliberately evade the law with g
purpose as unstatesmaniike and unpatri-
otic as his own in making this suggestion
Fortunately Mr. Bryan has been before
the public long enough for everyone to
know that tricks and false pretences are
not among his weapons, and suggestions
of this kind excite contempt.
But worse than this is the fact that
other men who should despise such pre-
tences affect to believe that in case Mr.
Bryan shall be elected he will pack the
Supreme Court for purposes of his own.
Can it be possible that these men them
selves actually contemplate such revolu-
tionary methods in case Mckinley shall
be elected? Certainly no such revolu-
tionary schemes have been advocated or
I have ever heard. There is nothing in
any Democratic platform or in the utter
ances OF any assemblage of Democrats or
of any single leading Democrat to suggest
such an idea.
These suggestions originate only with
Republicans and seem TO show when once
the party has abandoned the principles of
the Constitution to what extraordinary
lengths it's extreme members are likely
to go. This manifestation is of itself
strong argument for a return to a strict
observance of the principles of the Con-
stitutien and OF the Democratic doctrine
of a conservative and honest government
Il repeat that there is nothing in any
Democratic utteranee upon which this
fear Of attack upon the Supreme Court
can be founded, The construction put
upon the expressions in the Democratic
platform of 1895, which were perverted
and miseonstTued as p basis for such
charges, was unwarTanted and untrue No
such purpose has ever entered the mind
of any Democrat, but the leading idea
with Democrats everywhere is to return
to the principles of the Constitution and
to faithfully administer the laws as

CONSIDERED BY THE CABINET.
The Chinese Proposition Accepted
in Good Faith

The message from Minister Conger an
nouncins the Chinese peace proposals re-
eeived almost the sole attention Of the
Cabinet members at their meeting today.
The Cabinet was disposed to receive
the communication as indicative of
a proper spirit on the part OF the Chinese.
Mr.. Mckinley and his advisers take the
view that Ching and Ii Hung Chang are
acting il good faith in formulating the
proposals. and this Government is ready
to receive them in a similar spirit
The Cabinet was Of the opinion
that the proposals embodied the chief
points which China should present Hav-
ing assumed the position of being in the
wrong and having promised punishment
of the chief offenders and indemnity for
European sufferers, the Chinese Govern
ment, IL the eyes OF Mr.. Mckinley, has
taken stand which makes future nego-
tiaticns easy.
The evening times., 1900-10-19

Secretary Hay this morning took the
final step in the action which is to re-
store peace in China and preserve the
stability of the Imperial Government and
the territorial entity Of the Umpire A
cable message was forwarded to Minister
Conger containing the official approval
and endorsement by the President of the
Chinese offer of indemnity and promise OF
future good conduct, and instructing the
American diplomatic representative in
Pekin to begin negotiations for peace to-
morrow. The message stipulates that the
negotiations shall be carried out at the
Tsung-H- Yamen, in the Imperial City, and
that Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
shall be considered the accredited ENJOYS
of the Imperial Government.
Mr.. Conger is authorized to sign any
peace treaty which includes the five arti-
cIes contained in the Chinese ncte. These
articles are as follows:
''First-That China expresses regret
for the recent occurrences, and makes
solemn promise that they shall never
recur
'Second-That China admits her
guilt and liability TO pay indemnity
''Third-With regard to commercial
treaties. China is willing 10 reaflrm
or modify the old ones or make new
treaties
*Fourth-In the event of these gem
eral principles being approved. China
asks that the TsuEg- g-li-Yamen b. per-
mitted to resume its functions, and
that the foreign troops be Withdrawn
when the various items of indemnity
have been arranged.
EifTh-Thaf
the foregn powers should declare an
aTmistice and cease military action.
The President has found the foregoing
propositions to be satisfactory and in the
event of each OF these being appended to
an agreement this Government is willing
to enter into an immediate treaty. Sec
retary Hay is also highly pleased with the
propositions and believes that the end OF
the long muddIe is now in sight, and thai
treaty will have been signed before
many days.
While France demands that Prince Tuan
| be beheaded pending any peace negotia-
/ tioils, this Government is OF the opinion
/ that nothing more than has been offered
| can be expected and nothing more is de-
/ sired In the event of a disagreement
| among the other powers as to the ac-
| ceptance of the offers Mr.. Conge- is in
| structed to proceed with negotiations for
this Government without reference 10 the
| powers and to take the initiatory step.
It is believed by the Administration that
the action of the United States Will serve
TO cause like action on the part Of the
| other powers
It is known that Russia viii accept the
terms offered by China and will act with
the United States in the negotiations.
The State Department has no reason to
| believe the reports from Pekin that the
edict providing for the punishment OF
Prince Tuan and other Chinese high off,
cfals was a forgery. Copies of this edict
were received by the department from
Minister Conger and WI Ting-fang, the
! Chinese Minister here. and the department
accepts the Imperial communication as
genuine.

erenced, for it is in honor of soldiers
whose bravery and fortitude have chal-
lenged the admiration of every nation up
on earth. The erection of monuments is
a solemn duty We owe to both the living
and dead. Youth should look to it for en-
conragement, and old age with reverence
admiration and devotion In concluding

| tinued erection of monuments.

of the spire, on three sides are stars and

houses and private residences were eIah-
orateIy decorated with National. State and
Confederate colors. At the conclusion OF

BOSTON, Mass, Oct 19.-All doubt as
10 he identity OF the man whose mutiIated
body was found at the bottom OF Float
ing Bridge Pond, Lynn was removed. yes
terday afternoon by the finding of the
missing head and arms. All who have seen
the body say that ii is that of George E.
Bailey, who managed the Breakheart
Camp Farm. in North Saugus.
/ ,;ahn C. Best. who was arrested on sus-
picioH, viewed the remains at the morgue'
.asJ night He said: Il think il is the body
of my ellow-workman. George Bailey"
The head and arms were dragged to the
surface of the pond late yesterday
in one bundle, weighted with & stone.
and the head was wrapped up in a
similar manner. These dismembered
parts were found on the opposite
side of the bridge from where the trunk

by the recent heavy rains.
| On account of Best's anxiety to talk of

relations with Bailey. She said she had

MARYLAND FOR BRYAN.
Mr. Brides Views on the Situation
in That State

Mr.. William W. Bride. who has been in
southern Maryland for the past week
stumping in the interests of Bryan and
CamaIier, was seen at the Democratic
headquarters today, Mr.. Bride said to a
reporter for The Times:
THE situation in southern Maryland is
very encouraging. I had large and en-
thusiastic meetings and the enthusiasm
manifested shows me plainly that Mary
land will give her eight electoral votes to
Bryan. The disafiection from the Repub
lican ticket shows itself strongly, espe-
cialiy in Charles county. where l saw
many former Republicans who are going
TO vote the Democratic ticket for the first
time this year. Mr. Mudd in my opinion
will be beaten in his district by Mr.. Cam
alier. who is a very popular man. The
negroes are opposing Mudd in large num-
bers and look for his defeat"
