MASS MEETING.

R 4 a s,8
"A mass meeting was held at the
village hall Monday night to hear
the report Of LII. Bailey, r. Nc
Lehman and Fred Hazen who were
appointed at a previous meeting.
to examine into the matter Of a
right.of-way through our village
for the new, railroad. R. McLen.
nan was chosen to act as chairman
Of the meeting and A. N. Greeley,
secretary. &. ',s'. ,.'s sssss s..s5 ~,
j. a. Bailey reported that the
COMMITTEES had gone over the
ground, embracing the proposed
line, strip 200 feet wide running
alongside of the Great Northern
track TO the swamp, then north
ward out Of the village; that the
property owners were willing to
make very small claims for dam
ages, owners of Carson and Bali
|ey's additions being content with
original cost to them Of $63 per
acre, plus cost Of re-surveying the
lots; and that the estimated cost
of right-of-way, outside Of the
Townsite companv's claim Of So, =
200, would be 5000. After a free
discussion, the following resolu-
tion was adopted:
Resolved, that it is the sentiment
of this meeting that the people OF the
village of Bemidji are unable to pur-
chase the right of way as requested by
the n. p. railway company; while re-
GREETING their inability to do this,
they pledge their assistance to that
company in securing this right Of
way at q reasonable cost.
John M. Martin tried to amend
the motion by inviting the railroad
company to build along the lake
front if it wished, and put forth
an eloquent argument; but j. NE.
Markham and others attacked the
idea so strongly that the amend
ment could not get a second.
/ The chair appointed a commit
tee Of threw. F. Street, Z. Ell.
Bailey and G. c. Woodward--to
notify the railway company Of the
position taken by our citizens.
The committee recently appoint
ed to investigate the financial con-
dition of the village-Jas. cNair,
"A. P.White and j. NJ. Markham
made their report. They had
thoroughly examined the clerks

FILIPINO PLOT.
Secret Service Men ut Manila Discover a
Plan Of the Insurgents to At
tack tha City.

Washington, July 23.--Secret serv-
Ice men at Manila have discovered an
other Filipino plot to attack the city.
Lieut.. c. II. Trowbridge, Eleventh cav
airy, who has charge of the secret
service branch, recently discovered
what appeared to be recruiting Office
in the district Of San Miguel. One
room of the house, which was
searched, was fitted up as an Office
and a large quantity Of blank forms
bearing the head line: Republic Fill
ipinas' was found. In a cupboard,
which has been securely fastened,
Trowbridge and his men discovered
large quantity Of papers, consisting
Of orders from Aguinaldo and letters
Of encouragement and instruction
from that leader and other insurgent
chiefs. A document which excited a
great deal of interest was one which
contained the details Of plot, ar
ranged evidently early In June, to ex-
cite an uprising in Manila.

BRYAN'S VISITORS.


Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-The rain
storm kept W. ]. Bryan in doors yes
terday, but time did not hang heavily
on his handds. He had number Of
visitors during the day, three of polit-
ical prominence-Gen. James B.
Weaver, of Iowa; Louis c. Ehrit, of
Colorado Springs, COL, and John E.
Pitts, of Cincinnati. Mr.. Pitts is Sec
rotary of the national democratic
campaign club, of the Commercial
Travellers, and he claims many &C.
cessions to the ranks of the organi-
cation. He told Mr.. Bryan that the
trust question was the all important
one, and on that issue he would make
great gains. He said the democratic
travelling men proposed to establish
headquarters in every city of impor-
lance in the country.
Mr.. Ehrit, who is the Colorado
member of an Anti-Imperialistic
league, called to tell of the progress
being made in the west. He told Mr..
Bryan that while he voted with the
gold democrats four years ago he was
for him now.
A story circulated here yesterday,
though not credited to Mr.. Bryan,
on his visitors, is to the effect that
Charles A. Towne will remain on the
ticket as populst candidate for vice
president for the good his candidacy
will do in the strongly populistic
states of Nebraska, Kansas and South
Dakota. Mr.. Towne's letter of ac-
ceptance or withdrawal, will be held
back, it is asserted, until the national
committee of the democrats and pop
ulists have discussed the matter. A
conference, a report said, would be
held in Chicago early in August.

Ionsul General GoodnOw, himself
man of good judgment, also cabled
warning to Secretary Hay against the
acceptance of the message without
confirmation. But the state depart.
NEST has fully considered the mes.
sage in all of its aspects, has care
fully weighed the numerous objec.
tions and suspicious put forth here
and in Europe, and without guaran.
teeing the authenticity Of the mes.
sage, feels it to be matter of prime
duty to act upon the theory that it is
genuine.
Admiral Remey's notification to the
department that he had gone in per-
son up the Pei-Ho from Taku to Tien
Tsin is attributed to the receipt by
him of Secretary Longs urgent mes
sage to hasten the efforts to get to
Pekin, and important news is expected
from him soon. The war department,
it appears, underestimate the time
that would be required for the Grant
to arrive at Nagasaki. She sailed on
the LIST instant so that she is not yet
quite due at that point with Gen.
Chaffee.
The Goodnow cablegram reciting
the message from Prince Tuan as
vouching for the safety of the foreign
ministers on July Is caused ripple
of excitement for a time at the state
department, but the officials soon con-
cluded from the context and other
circumstances surrounding the mes.
sage that Yuan was meant instead
of Tuan, so that the message lost the
value it would have had if it had
come from the redoubtable boxer
leader.

ers. The edict states that recently
that evil doors created riots, deliber-
afely rebelled and murdered good sub
iecs, certainly, II says, a deplorable
STATE Of affairs. All viceroys, govern
ors and high military authorities are
ordered to obtain accurate details,
presumably OF the outrages com
mitted by Chinese and to make such
seizures and take such action as the
cases warrant in order TO stop the dis
turbances.
Beside the reference to the seizure
of the Taku forts as one Of the causes
of the uprising. the significant fea-
lures Of the edict is the underlying
expression Of the desire of the i'm
perial government of China, not only
TO protect the foreigners, but to
make reparaton for the injuries they
have sustained. That would seem to
be the meaning Of the instructions to
the Chinese ,iceroys, and magistrates
to take steps TO ascertain the extent
OF these injuries. Otherwise the edict
is mainly argumentative and appears
to be an effort to extenuate the course
OF the imperial government. As such
II may be properly laid aside for the
present to be taken up for considera-
ton in the final reckoning and such
will be the course Of the state de-
parlment
The administration is determined to
keep aloof from any movement that
would unnecessarily entangle the gov
eminent of the United States in Chi
nese affairs. II, of course, must join
heartily with the other powers in
the effort to get to Pekin, but it does
not follow from that cooperation
that it will be led into taking part in
any chickering's or dissensions that
ensue over the future of China after
our people have been taken care of.
1t is the intention of the administra-
ton to withdraw our forces, military
and naval, after the Americans in Pc
kin have been relieved and wash its

Paris, July 23.--Goult, town near
Avignon, witnessed one Of the most
ferocious crimes ever recorded in
France. A young butcher named Jean
laptiste rAllemand, suddenly crazed
by the sight of the blood of cattle,
ran nmuck and attacked 20 persons,
wounding eight and killing four. He
used his butcher knife, 10 inches long,
and frequently stabbed himself dur
ing his frenzy. The tragedy occupied
only few minutes.

WILLING TO MEDIATE.
President Mckinley Listens to APP
peal Of Chinese Government.
ADVERSE CRITICISM EXPECTED,


Washington, July 24.-The presi-
dent has listened to the appeal Of the
Chinese government as transmitted
through Minister WI and has signi-
fled his willingness to mediate be.
tween the imperial government and
the powers, but only upon conditions
which first must be met by the Chi
nese government. The exact nature
of the terms proposed by the state de-
partment cannot be stated until to-
day, when it is expected publication
will be made of the text of the Chi
nese appeal and of the presidents
message. 1t is known, however, that
the answer is entirely consistent with
the statement of principles laid down
by Secretary Hay in his identical
note to the powers, and> moreover, it
accepts as truthful the Chinese state
ments relative to the safety of the
foreign ministers at Pekin.
It would not, of course, be possible
to take the initial steps toward media
ton were either party to the nego-
tiations to entertain openly distrust
of the accuracy of the statements Of
the other. There must be confidence
between them. The United States an
swer does not go to the length of
the French answer to a similar appli-
cation in laying down conditions
which the Chinese government could
not meet, even if so disposed, if it
actually is struggling for its own ex-
istence. It does, however, look to
the immediate relief of the foreign
missionaries in Pekin, and, moreover,
to the protection of all foreigners,
missionaries and traders, in China
and to the restoration Of order With
that much accomplished the state de-
partment feels that it can properly
approach the powers with the Chinese
propositions for settlement for what
has occurred. The Chinese appeal
came to Secretary Hay Sunday
through Minister WI. The secretary
promptly telegraphed it to the presi-
dent at Canton and, after taking a
full day for its consideration, the
presidents answer came yesterday. 1t
was put in the proper diplomatic form
and copy delivered to Minister WI,
who is to forward it to his own gov
eminent.
The imperial edict made public yes
terday at the state department shows
that the imperial government already
has taken the first steps toward do
ing what the United States govern
ment requires as the principal condi-
ton for the exercise of its good Of
fees, in enjoining the viceroys, mag
istrates and leading men to stop the
disorders and protect foreigners.
Our government will await the result
of this before proceeding further.
II is expected that adverse criti-
cism upon the action of the state de-
partment in this matter will be heard
