 q want to call your attention also to the system which is now being prepared by the Republicans, known as the colony system. One of our great institutions of learning has established in the college a department for instruction for dealing with our dependencies and colonies. Young men, we have never had colonies before and history teaches us that republics can not have colonies and when we have reach- ed the point where we want colonies, we have reached the point where we do not have a rpublic.
 You cannot have an idea here and an- other in the Orient. Governments cannot come up from the people and in the Phil ippine islands come out of the mouth Of the cannon"

 MT. Bryan then ridiculed the destiny ar gument, saving that that idea would make a chicken thief out of a man provided he Is near enough to the hen coop to grab the chickens. He said that this c6untry as "a Republic had achieved more glory than. all the empires of the world combined during the last ten decades, and without a large army and large navy.

Has Been Al

Washington, 5=-#f 4aiis has been authorized by his government io begin negotiations at once with the Chi nese envoys on the basis of the points of the German and French note, upon which all the powers are agreed Upon these points where divergence of views has been found to exist the government of the pow CTS themselves will negotiate with a view to reaching a further understanding. 1t is understood that the ministerial repre- sentatives at Pekin of the other powers have some instructions, but whether they have or not, MT Conger is not to be re- strained. The Berlin statement this morn ing that Germany has agreed to Japan's proposals that peace negotiations with China shall for the present be entrusted to the foreign representatives at Pekin, IS regarded here as an indication that Ger many has taken similar action In the case of Minister Won Schwartzenstein.
 Some surprise is expressed here at the insistance by some of the powers upon a settlement of the question of sufficiency of credentials of the Chinese envoys at this point. It is stated that 1t Is invariable practice in peace negotiations to allow plen- ipotentiaries themselves to pass upon the credentials of the envoys, which invariably Is deferred until the first meeting of the plenipotentiaries

London, October 25.-The following dis patch from General Gaselle, commander of the British troops at Paoting Flu, has been received by the Secretary of State for In- dia, Lord George Hamilton:
 "Poatng Flu, October 20.-The allied troops under my command arrived here yesterday. British, German, French and Italian guards have been posted at the gates. Today all the generals with small escorts went through the town, after which they arranged for the allotment of quarters for occupation. I shall keep most of the British in camp for the present.

 Most of the nhabtanIts remained in the city. There are no signs of hostility.

St Louis Sh anne.
The Reign of Assassination and
Terror Seems to be Ended.

st Louis, June 49, To all ap,
pearances today witnessed the
beginning of the end of the riots
Gus demonstrations and scenes of
bloodshed that have characterized
the street railway strike for oyer
a month past. In many quarters
it is thought the strike itself will
soon be settled. These opinions
are based upon statements of the
chief of police and sheriff that the
critical stage has been passed and
upon the fact that the st Louis
Transit company Is slowly but
surely approaching a complete re-
sumption of business with the aid
of nOn~union men.
The inquest over the bodies of
the victims of Sundays riot be-
gan today. The testimony adj
duced was not of character cal
culated to base a decision on as to
which side was to blame for be-
ginning hostilities, the witnesses
disagreeing on material points.
Some placed the blame on the
posse and others placed it on the
strikers. Many contradictions
have arisen in the accounts of
SUNDAYS tragedy and these were
emphasized in the testimony
taken today.

Washington, June '12.-The
weather bureaus weekly sum
mary of crop conditions says:
Heavy rains in the central and
cast Gulf States, including por-
tions of Kentucky and Tennessee
have retarded cultivation, and in
some sections caused injury to
crops.
The high average temperatures
with generally sufficient moisture
in the great corn States of the
central valleys have been decided
ly favorable to corn, which has
made rapid growth, although
needing cultivation in some Sec
tions. In Maryland, Virginia
and portions of North Carolina
and Texas corn is needing rain,
while it has suffered from excess.
i've rains In the central Gulf
States.
Winter wheat harvest is now in
progress IN Virginia and will be-
gin in Kentucky this week. Ex-
cept some lodging in Kentucky
and Tennessee the reports gener-
ally indicate that the crop has
made satisfactory advancement
during the week.
AS result of light rains in
Texas, much of the State receiv,
ing no precipitation, cultivation
has been vigorously pushed and
there has been n decided improve
ment IN the condition Of cotton.
Several days Of fair weather are
still needed, however, to put the
crop in = proper state of cultiva-
tion in some parts of Texas.
While there is a general COM
plant of lice in cotton over the
central and eastern portions of
the cotton belt, the crop has
made substantial progress, al.
though quite generally in need of
cultivation. The least favorable
reports are received from Louisl-
ana, where cotton has made but
slow growth and is turning yell
low.

The Crisis HaS Come.
A High Authority Says a World s
War is Impending.

Recent dispatches indicate that
the trouble in China is believed bv
European statesmen to have been
inspired by Russian agents. Rus
sian diplomacy makes opportuni-
ties and the outbreak of the
"BoXers' afford a convenient ex.
cuse for landing Russian troops.
For this crisis Russia has long
been preparing, and well informed
authorities agree that armed con-
bict on gigantic scale between
the great powers cannot long be
averted.
The main antagonism Is bet ween
Russia on the one side, with France
as an ally, and Enland on the other,
with Japan as an ally. The au-
thorities mentioned think that the
natural position of the United
States is with England and some
of them think'our government will
not be able to maintain an entire,
ly neutral position.
The interests of the United
States in the Philippines have
changed the attitude of this coun-
try toward Asiatic politics, and
recent dispatches tell us that the
government Of the United States
may demand largo slices of Chinese
territory a. indemnity for injury
to American life and property IN
the event of general break up
OF the Chinese empire.
The United States government
has become a world power, and in
the Armageddon that is coming q
we shall be fortunate if we escape
entangling alliances and war.
Demetrius G Boulger, the ablest
and fairest authority on Aslatic
politics and the author of half h
dozen books on that and kindred
subjects, says the i'll fated moment
has arrived when the contest of
the great powers over the division
of the crnmbIing empire of China
must begin. He discussed the
subject in two articles in the North
American Review, the second ap,
pearing in the June number of
this year, and they show that the
seriousness of the situation has
not been exaggerated.

Italian, 40; and Austrians, 25;"
The correspondents at Tien.
Tsia, Shanghai, and other treaty
ports, throw de lights on the
situation. According to one dis
patch from Tien Tsin, it is under-
stood that the foreign ministers
will insist as soon as fresh bayo-
nets arrive at Pekin, upon the re-,
moval Of the anti foreign advisers
of the Empress Dowager aud upon
the substitution foi them to coun-
cillors friendly to Western civili-
zation. The English at Shanghai
are afraid that Great Britain has
been deceived, and that the whole
business will have to be gone
through again. Russia's aims,
the argue, are not understood
and Russia and France are ,ap-
parently not working in the same
spirit as the other powers. Five
thousand Russians are ready to
land at Taku. A telegram from
Yokohama dated Tuesday evening
says that the japanese govern
ment has ordered four more war,
ships to proceed to Taku. The
dispatch says the japanese govo
erament "trusts the powers will
not misconstrue this action. "
The Japanese press is urging
vigorous methods.

The Times, telegraphing Tuesday,
says: "'The japanese minister is
pressing for recognition of Jap

The Hong Kong correspondent
of The Times, wiring yesterday,

The only bit of information
which the British War Office has
made public regarding the situa>
tion since it became important,
was the admission yesterday that
the summer residence of the Brit.
ish minister in Pekin, Sir Claude

THEM.
Kill 40 and Clea: Out Two Towns.
The international Column Takes
Up the Advance to Pekin.

London, June 13, 4:42 a m
Sixteen British marines recon.
noitering in advance of the inter
national column marching to Pekin
fought and chased 1000 Boxers
Monday, killing twenty or thirty.
A correspondent accompanying
the column, in dispatch dated
Tien Tsln, June 10, via Shanghai,
June II, says:
"While the working party, ac-
companied by Il patrol of sixteen
British marines, commanded by
Major johnson, were repairing
the line Monday afternoon, eight
miles beyond Lola, they encounter,
ed small parties of Boxers who
were destroying the line. The
Boxers moved away from the ad,
vancing marines and apparently
dispersed into the country, leav.
ing the rails and the slcepers burn
ing.
"The marines when two miles
in advance Of the first train, near
Lang Fang, suddenly perceived
Boxers streaming from village
on their left. 1t was estimated
that they numbered 2,OOO, some
of them being mounted, and they
were trying to get between the
marines and the train. Most of
them were armed with spears and
swords. A few had firearms
which they handled awkwardly.
The marines retreated, keeping up
a running fight for over a mile
and killing between 20 and 80
Boxers.
"Ihe Boxers pursued the British
tor some distance. Then, seeing
more marines from the train com
ing to their assistance, Major
Johnson's sixteen men halted and
poured a heavy and continuous
fire into the crowd, driving them
across the front of the re enforce
ing blue jackets, who punished the
Boxers severely with Maxims.
1.-The Boxers fled and the
Europeans, following up their
success, cleared out two villages.
The total loss of the Boxers is
estimated at A. killed and wound
Cd. Seven OF their wounded were
attended by British surgeons. The
British loss was nothing.
"Unless their loss causes the
Boxers to lose heart, the Interna-
tional column will have much
trouble before reaching Pekin.
The'railway is so much damaged
that the column covered only 81
miles Sunday and Monday, and
there is reason to fear that the
road beyond is more badly dam
aged.
"Evidences of General Nieh's 5
operations were found in headIess
bodies. The whole country pre-
sents h desolate aspect, entire
villages having been deserted.

STOCKS HARD 70 GAUGE
The Market Experiences a Day of
Fluctuations.
Weakness in the Granger Issues
Serves to Unsettlc the General List
The Chinese situation Asserts Its
Infiuencc-Somc RecOverics Made.
Although Few Are Sustained.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE movements
in today's stock market in a number of
cases were exceedingly irregular. There
were alternating periods of apparent weak
ness and equally transient firmness
throughout the business session. 1t was
not very easy TO assign any definite en-
plantations 10 the varying conditions which
prevailed in the market from the opening
to the close.
For one thing. the general market was
without the stimulus it derived sympa-
thetically yesterday from the rapid advance
in Union Pacific That stock was reac'
tionary today. and owing to its present
prominent position in the market, its in
fiuence was in the contrary direction 10
that of yesterday.
The very marked weakness in all the
granger stocks also served to unsettle con-
fdence in the general market. There was,
as a matter of fact no further discourage
ing news from the corn or spring wheat
sections. although efforts were apparent to
excite some uneasiness in regard to the
former crop. These efforts were, however,
but feebly reflected in the price of corn.
Rather more attention appeared to be
devoted 10 Inc INlneSe
though that matter was without much ell
feet upon the London market. 1t seemed
to be the general belief, however, that
yesterdays statement issued on behalf OF
the Chinese Government foreshadowed the
announcement that the worst had already
happened at Pekin, which under the cir
cumstances would mean scarcely more or
less than general massacre of foreign
residents had taken place in that city.
Still, the foreign security markets were
not materially depressed, and on balance
foreign houses were buyers here to the
extent of about $1,000 shares. These pur-
chases were mainly in the lower priced
issues, notably in Chesapeake and Ohio
and Norfolk and Western. These stocks,
together with Baltimore and Ohio, were
the firmest Expectations of dividends in
each instance attended the dealings in
the stocks in question. New York Cen
trail and Pennsylvania were also compare
lively firm, the former advancing Ii.
Aside from these instances. however,
reactionsry tone was fairly common, al
though the market did not during the
day retain any tendency very long.
Active features of the market, aside
from those noted, were the grangers,
Atchison, and Louisville and Nashville.
Sugar Refining and American Tobacco
were the only active stocks in the indus
trials.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Whent Again Weak. Corn Strong,
md Oats Unsteady.


CHICAGO, July PA reiteration by the
Price Current" of its previous estimate
of $50 600 bushel wheat crop, and a
I'D decline at Liverpool in conjunction
with reports of improvement in the North
west, were the weakening factors in wheat
today, the market declining about &c.
Paris closed unchanged to lie lower; Ant
werp was Csc higher.
September corn touched 45c, an advance
over Wednesday of 5-Sc. This early
strength was on continued dry weather and
higher temperature in Nebraska and Kan
sas. The best prices were made before
noon. In the last hour the market lost all
its early gain. Last prices were about the
same as those of the day previous. The
closing reaction ives in ma measure due TO
today's weakness in wheat There has been
very little cash business accomplished
The oats experience was something like
the corn, prices up Csc in the forenoon and
losing the gain in the last hour.
The hog movement was regarded as lib
eral, and this helped the market The
selling was mainly from realizing longs
with some pressure from hearish pit
traders. The packers were prominent buy
ers, probably against cash sales, as the de-
mand was fairy coed.
