WASHINGTON. Aug. iS.--The Amer

day. The last heard from him before
this was at Yang Tsun. which had been
captured after a hard fight and word
of his movements since then had been
eagerly awaited.
Thursday he was is miles beyond
Yang Tsun. Lang Fang, the plase
where the Inflated Seymour expedition
met It's fate and turned back, had
been left behind. The battle of Yang
Tsun was fought on the sixth and the
advance to Ho 81 WI was accomplish

Vas consummation which the war
department had awaited calmly, as II
accorded with their calculations al
though the advance has been more
rapid than was expected.
The dispatch from Chaffee, convey
ing so much in so few words, is as
follows;
"Che Foo. Aug. 10,--Adjutant General.
Washington Ho 81 WI yes
terday. CHAFFEE."
Word OF the advance soon spread
throughout official quarters. In the en-
thuslasm the report got about that this
was the day OF the actual arrival at
Pekln. but the war department has not
word Of an advance beyond Ho 81 WI.
II was deemed hardly likely that the
march 10 PekIn could have been made
since last Thursday. At the rate OF
progress, six miles per day, from Yang
Tsun TO Ho 81 WI. about "a miles
would have been covered in the last
four days, and up TO today this would
still leave the international forces nine
miles from Pekin.
Viewed from any standpoint, the ad-
vance to Ho 81 WI was of the utmost
Importance, not only strategcally, but
showing that communication was open
back to Che Foo, that the expected OPP
position from Chinese hordes had not
been sufficient TO prevent steady
movement, and for the influence 1t
would exert upon the Chinese govern
ment.
Brief as the dispatch is, It conveys
much information beyond that speci-

1MPoss1BLE TO sHIRK.
America Has Duty and Honor to
Meet in the Philippines.

America Has Duty and Honor to
Meet in the Philippines.
The progress of the war with Spain
flung into our hands Porto Rico, Guam
and the Philippines. By fair and open
treaty they passed to our sovereignty.
That sovereignty laid upon us vast
questions and launched us, with new
responsibilities, into the affairs of the
larger world. 1t set us into the ORR
ent at the very hour Of the tremend-
GUS and awful Weakening of the dor
mant Fast, close to the shores OF
China, that hive of innumerable peo-
pies. 1t lays upon us the question of
the Philippines, with a sense of re-
sponsibility which no man with a con-
science can shirk. We could, like cow
ards, have turned these fair Islands
over to anarchy and blood, or to be-
come the prey of the greedy powers of
Europe, a bone of endless conflicts.
: But we could, we can, undertake the
sublime experiment of the ages. We
can put our energies, resources and
genius to the splendid task Of giving
security to life and property, educa-
ton, the reign of just laws, civil and
religious liberty, industrial and COM
mercial thrift, the whole structure of
modern civilization, to the ten millions
of the inhabitants of those rich and
fertile islands.
This latter magnificent undertaking,
under circumstances not of it's own
choice or foresight, has been the cleo
ton of our administration. Its pur-
pose is TO protect the eighty tribes of
the archipelago from each other, weld
kdaro forothor In noonat Give them az
complete liberty as our w states en-
joy as quickly as may be: to put them
in the way Of such a career as no ORR
entail Tropic has ever had the chance
to dream of. We have not bought
the Filipinos at 81 a head" With a
magninimity worthy Of the rich re.
public, we paid Spain for her public
buildings and public property. For
her sovereignty we gave out the buff
fets of war. In all u procedures
there neither, has been or is to be, any
element of Imperialism.
There is no swerving from the basic
principles of Republican government
nor any disloyalty to the interests OF
liberty. We are in the Philippines
justly, humanely and to stay for the
grandeur of the future of the archi-
pelago, and for hand in the great
movements of the Orient that shall
emphasize the Twentieth century.
Already u unquestioned footing in
the islands has given us a grand and
beneficent leadership in the worlds
problem of the Chinese empire, sue
as to BIZ nigh the only hope of It's
peaceful solution: Now it is the Amer
ican's business to look fairly in the
face of this vast and providential at
tude of world affairs and determine
whether it is wisest for us, in the
greatest crisis of modern time and
world to scuttle out of the position of
magnificent power and glorious OPP
portunity into which. without u own
devisings, the republic a been mani
testify thrust of God. I am discussing
now not a political but a profound and
solemn moral and spiritual question,
in which the whole world and all fu-
ture times are concerned.-Rev. A.. 8.

HOMESTEAD LAWS
THE PARTY CARRIED OUT ALI
THE PROVISIONS AIDING
SETTLERS.

1t Is now admitted that the free
homestead law of 1852 was one Of the
most beneficent as well as one of the
most successful measures ever adopt
ed In any country. It opened to inn
mediate settlement millions of acres
of the public domain, carried to the
West thousands of high-spirited
Americans from the Eastern states,
and drew from Europe millions Of
wealth-producing citizens. More than
any other legislation or influence, it
contributed to the development of the
growth of the nation in population,
producing capacity and wealth.
The homestead act was distinctively
a Republican measure. The first bill.
introduced in 1859, passed the house
by a vote Of 120 to rs. All Of the Re-
publicans except one voted for the bill.
They We're supported by some Of the
Northern Democrats, but all of the
Southern Democrats except three vot-
ed against the bill. The senate was
Democratic, and no vote was taken on
the bill in the upper house.
In March, 1860, Mr.. Lovejoy reported
the Grow homestead bill, and it was
passed by a vote Of lis to IS. All
the affirmative votes except n were
from the free states. The senate
passed a different bill, and there was
a conference, which finally agreed
upon a modified bill. This bill was
vetoed, June %, 1860, by President Bu-
chanan.
In 1852, when the Republicans had a
majority Of 80 in the house and IL in
the senate, a new homestead bill was
passed and signed by Abraham Lin
coin. The measure was framed by
Republicans and passed by Repub-
lican votes. At the same session were
passed the acts establishing a de-
partinent Of agriculture and providing
for agricultural colleges.
Later on, in 1864, 1870 and 1872, bills
were passed by Republican votes Civ
ing ex-Union soldiers special home-
stead privileges. These acts encour-
aged thousands of soldiers, discharged
in 1865 and 1866. to emigrate from he
East and the Middle West to states
like Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, and
the latter came to be known as great
soldier commonwealth. There are
many reasons why Western farmers
should vote the Republican ticket, but
the legislation that gave homesteads
to millions is enough, in itself, to bind
the farmers of the West to h Re
publican party.

No Pay, No Talk,

Even at this stage of the campaign,
Mr.. Bryan adheres to the doctrine Of
mo Pay, No Talk" He was at Chilli
cothe, Ohio. the morning Of the 18th
Of October, and delayed the meeting
there for at least half an hour, until
the necessary SIS, to insure the wag-
ging of his jaw, was forthcoming.
When the necessary sum had been
raised, he spoke for about eighteen
minutes, which is a very liberal rate
of a little over 81 per minute, and he
had considerable trouble in inducing
the people Of the old-time city Of
Allen G. Thurman to give up the
needful coin.
