Government Is Established,

New York, Sept. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Hong Kong says:
The chamber of commerce and the
China association are telegraphing a
strong protest against the withdrawal of
troops from Peking till proper govern
ment has been established. They urge
that withdrawal woud be disastrous to
foreign prestige throughout China.
Alarm is manifested among reputable
Chinese at rumors of contemplated stimuli
taneous risings in Canton and Hong Kong
on Saturday. The police place no cred
ence in the reports.
The French gunboat Decidee and the
transport Surnai have arrived.
Reports from the West river have been
received of disturbances at Tai Ping,
where 300 robbers were looting. The WI
Chow perfect and hundred men fortified
a pawn shop and telegraphed to Wu
Chow for assistance and four hundred
troops We're dispatched to quell the trou-
BILE.
There is disaffection at Tung Chow, but

COMPROMISE COMING.
Troops Will Withdraw, Perhaps, and
Ministers Stay.

Paris, Sept. 7.-Active negotiations are
in progress looking to some compromise
arrangement with Russia regarding the
position she has assumed toward Pekin.
The communications exchanged by the
powers now have better promise of sue
cess. The compromise suggested, it is
asserted here. is the withdrawal of forces
of all the powers from Pekin leaving an
international guard to protect the lega-
tions. which. it is further asserted in
Paris. will be allowed to remain at the
Chinese capital pending a peace settle
ment The main body OF troops, it is also
said. will retire to the neighborhood of
Tien Tsin, leaving sufficient forces along
the road to keep the open route and pro-
tect the railroad between Pekin and Tien
Tsin.
Russia's attitude is interpreted here as
meaning that she will withdraw her
troops outside of Pekin, but not neces-
sarily a great distance from that city.

SERIOUS DEPRIVATION.
Only Three Minutes to Make a Anti
Imperialist Speech.

Cambridge, Ohio Sept w. J. Bryan
left Wheeling for Chicae this morning.
AT Cambridge there was assembled a
crowd of several hundred people who de-
manded speech. Mr.. Bryan spoke for
three minutes, confining himself to the
trusts, along the same lines he has used
in former speeches. He said that no one
could expect remedial legislation from
the republican party which depends. to
large extent upon these combinations
for campaign contributions. He said if
the working man did not know how to
vote in order to hurt the trusts he should
watch the way the trust magnates voted
and then vote the other way. He was
apclauded during his remarks.

ONLY MANDARINS
No Prince Among Those Who Seek
for Peace.

New York, Sept. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Peking, date missing, via
Tien Tsin, Sept. 3, and Shanghai Wednes-
day, September says:
Overtures toward peace negotiations
with the allied ministers have been made
by few mandarins, but there is no
prince among them.
The allied forces are hesitating TO en-
ter the palace fearing for the prestige
of the Chinese government, and that If
the buildings were destroyed and burned
the government of the whole of China
would fall on the powers, rendering par
tition inevitable.
This delay is encouraging the Boxers
who have murdered two French soldiers
in the center of Peking.

solution which Congressman Allen pro-
