Washington, Sept. 23.-America will
pursue an entirely independent course
in its further relations with China
and in the settlement of the troubles
which have arisen in the Chinese en-
pire. Every question which has been
pending before the state department
Aince the last official utterance of this
government on August % was definite
ly and finally settled by President
Mckinley and his advisers. The troops
of the United States are to be speedily
withdrawn from China and sent to
the Philippines. Minister Conger will
| open the preliminaries to peace nego-
tiations with Prince Ching, who asked
the approval of this government for
such action.
Russia's request that the powers
withdraw their troops from Chinese
soil is definitely answered in the or
| ders which were sent to Gen. Chaffee
to withdraw as speedily as possible.
The request of the southern viceroys
of China that the United States use
its good offices to prevent the impor-
tation of further foreign troops to
Chinese soil is also effectually an
swered by the withdrawal of all our
forces except a small legation guard.
Thus have the representations and
requests of the different world pow
ers been met and answered. When
President Mckinley left for Canton,
it was with the decks of the national
snip of state cleared for action, with
definite plans in view. The decision
of the United States is regarded as
IF in
recent years, barring, perhaps, those
which marked the Inauguration of
the war with Spain.
There were many who thought that
the United States could not serve her
interests in China without entering
into some kind of understanding with
one or more of the world powers. The
president tried to reach such an I'M
Outstanding, but was prevented by
the jealousies and chickering's between
foreign nations. He had originated
in the departmental note of July 3
and the later representations of Au-
gust 20 all that had been done by the
international forces on Chinese soil.
Each nation, bent on it's own schemes
of ambition or conquest, left the
United States-which had for it's soul
purpose the protection of citizens and
the dealing out of justice to those who
had brought wrong on them-no COM
mon ground for uniting with any ma
ton.
The further course of the United
States, as mapped out in the note of
August 20, will be to secure ''the
treaty rights of all the powers for the
future-the open door assured, the in
terests and property of foreign cit
liens conserved and full reparation
made for the wrongs and injuries
suffered by them"

Rejects PEACE TERMS
Aeulnaido Refuses to Consider Proposals
Made by Americans Insureent Activity

Manila, Sept. 24.-The insurgent
demonstrations last week prove to
have been more extended than was at
first reported From Cagayan and
Isabella provinces and the northwest
ern districts of Luzon come accounts
of insurgent operations and Ameri-
can precautionary measures. Mer-
chants in the province of Albay are
getting their hemp to Manila as
rapidly as possible, fearing that
otherwise it will be burned by the in
surgents.
Senior Buencamino has received
from Aguina1do an answer regarding
his peace proposals. Aguinaldo de-
clines to consider them and declares
that he is unwilling to agree to a
compromise. The amnesty expired
September 21 and the conditions that
existed previously have been resumed
An insurgent proclamation, signed
last month by Aguinaldo, directing
that American prisoners be set at
liberty, that good treatment be ac-
corded to captives and that $40 be
paid to each American surrendering,
has reached Manila. Few prisoners
were released under the proclama-
ton. Two, who have just arrived
from the Cables district, report that
the insurgents in that locality are in
better spirits than they had dis
played at any time since April.

The Growth of suburbs

The population of East ST. Louis
is shown by the census to be 1868,
which places the unobtrusive suburb
of St. Louis among the leading cities
of Illinois in population. The increase
is the greatest of any Illinois city, it
being $3.50 per cent. over 1890, when
the city had 1850. The growth of
East ST. Louis is the result of the
growth of ST. Louis, and is an illus
tration of the phase of the recent ten
dency of population. The concentra-
ton in the cities has been the most
notable feature of the census.
