Washington, Aug. 25-The Ma
w Department received from Admi.
raj Remey last night cablegram
which has been withheld from pub
lication. 1t lis dated Taku, and made
the surprising statement, according
to an official, that the Russian com.
mander at Pe5in had directed the
commanders of other forces in the
field TO hold no communication
with the Chinese. So far as can be
learned Admiral Remey did not give
his authority for the statement.
The dispatch caused the utmost
surprise among officials here. 1t was
considered as report, although it
did not say 80 in so many words, that
Russia had declared war against
China.
Serious complications are almost
certain 60 follow such a condition of
affairs and the officials arc eagerly
awaiting c,n6rmation.
The foregoing Interpretation of the
ReineN dispatch is directly in line
with tho positive statement made in
the press dispat ches several days ago
that the Russians had declared war
on the Chinese.

Mr.. Bryan's Latest Speech.

MIR. Bryans speech in accepting
the pOpnlist nomination Tor the
Presidency, is masterly analysis OF
the principles governing human ac-
ton.
In drawi G tn pararallel between
populism and democracy he makes it
clear that the populists have largely
aided in the campaign of education
which has aroused the masses against
the constant encroachments which
had been made upon their rights
and liberties. Stripping the situa-
tion of craftsmanship, he demonstra-
ted that the common people were in
practical accord, and that on this
side WIS the right-on the other the
enemy!
The speech will have a wonderful
effect 10 uniting those who are more
concerned for the perpetuity of our
government than about the disposi.
ton of any temporary question.
Questions which contain eternal truth
will come to the front again, because
defeat means delay, and not ami
hilation.
-Four years ago the people were
sl
ternal policy. Today they are con-
cerned with the much broader ques-
ton as to whether they have a gov
eminent at all. The aovernment of
Of the fathers, and not tin-plated
form of imperialism, is what they
want.
Read the speech aud ponder over
