garded as highly important that these shall
be shown to agree in each case.
The statement is made that the Russian
government, for one, is willing to deal with
Ii, of course upon properly framed condi-
tions, and this appears TO be borne out
by the earnestness with which Mr.. VOL
liant, the Russian charge, is seeking to i'm
press upon the State Department the entire
agreement between Russia and the United
States as to China. AT least he insists
that Russia wishes to prevent the dis
memberment of China and also that her
animating purpose now is the restoration OF
order and the safeguarding of the future.
Under these limitations it is urged here
that Russia's objects can be achieved as
we'll as those of the United States by deal
ing with Ii Hung Chang, who occupies the
advantageous position of being the only
Chinese parsonage so far officially accredit-
ed as a peace plenipotentiary. Acting Secre-
tary Adee found sufficient matter of in
terest in these three calls to go TO the
White House late in the afternoon to con-
fer with the President.
1t is quite certain that our government is
willing and anxious to do all 1t can to bring
about a speedy settlement of the Chinese
difficulty and a retirement of the forces.
But IL is determined that no proper adj
vantage is to be lost through this wish and
the government will not be coerced by for
eign commissions or threats of combination
against our interests. One of the officials
of the government to-day stated that the
United States is not going to turn tail and
run because some OF the powers show a dis
position to break a compact under which
we became allies in China. The powers ac-
cepted the note of Secretary Hay of July 3
as a basis for joint action, and they will be
held to that agreement. The question of
actual force in China is secondary-one
regiment of United States troops is as good
as 1O0, 6O men to establish a principle. An
indignity offered to them would be re-
scented as quickly as If we had 1000 men
ON Chinese soil, and the United States gov
eminent is willing TO try the case as to
whether one thing could be said on July 3
and accepted by all the powers and changed
two months later TO advance selfish inter
est. Notwithstanding this firm attitude on
the part of the government there is not the
least doubt that friction between the pow
ers will be averted and that the resources
of diplomacy will be equal TO the needs of
the present case.

tive to the movements of Baroness Won

The feature of to-day at the Mountain
Chautauqua was the joint debate on FIX

Champ Clark, of Missouri. Owing 10 bust
ness engagements Mr.. Dolliver t~elegraphed
that 1t was impossible for him to be pres
ont and General Grosvenor. of Ohio, con-
scented to take his place.. Mr.. Clark spoke
for one hour. Imperialism, he said, had
to this time, cost the people of this coun-
try $lS3,OOO,O 600 per year, that is In fighting
the F%ilipinos.
Mr.. Grosvenor said that Imperialism was
nothing more than q dream, and what the
boys called a pipe dream" and Mr.. Bryan
had had that sort of a dream. The real
issue of the day was 10 to l.. He said that by
the treaty with Spain the United States
acquired its first territory, and every ques-
treaty. The whole issue now agitating the
minds of the people could nave been averted
by the votes of eighteen Democratic sena-
tors at the last session of Congress, and
Mr.. Bryan had urged upon the Democratic
members to vote for the ratification Of the
treaty when he thought IL would be de-
feated. He asked the audience what act
of the Republican party had indicated i'm
rerialism. This he answered by saying
there was none; but that it was only a
scheme got III by a man like Mr.. Bryan
arose with the Boxers the American SOL
diers stationed at Manila, on what they
call imperial soil, were the first to sail for
China.

LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 2S.-Mr. Bryan to-
day expressed himself as highly g~ratifed
over the action of the Populist national
committee at Chicago in indorsing the
nomination of Mr.. Stevenson for the vice
presidency. He said: 81 am very glad
that Mr.. Stevenson has been indorsed by
the Populists. He is thoroughly committed
to the principles set forth i'm the Kansas
City platform, and deserves the support
of all who believe in those principles. To
have nominated anyone else would have
weakened the ticket. The Populist organi-
zation will profit rather than suffer by
this evidence of its willingness TO place
the principles above partisanship."
Mr.. Bryan to-day decided definitely ia
leave Lincoln for Chicago next Friday
evening. He will probably spend Saturday
In Illinois, making speeches. and going on
10 Chicago that evening. After making his
Labor day speech in Chicago on Monday
he will probably make other speeches In
that vicinity, remaining away from home
for two or three weeks.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-After the Cabi-

the government was in a waiting attitude
regarding the Chinese situation. The lack
OF late advices from Peking and the failure
of the powers 10 show their hands as TO
future policy makes it necessary for this
government TO await developments. The
administration considers 1t OF the greatest
Importance hat in the negotiations for a
settlement of the Chinese difficulty all the

The Real Issue.


New York Post.
1t Is already clear that Bryan's speech
on Thursday accepting the Populist NOM
ination must result in convincing the coun-
try that the real Issue OF his campaign is
Organism as a whole. and not any one
question, new or old, which he may seek TO
make prominent. A man with the reputa-
ton for sturdy convictions which Grover
Cleveland enjoyed when he first ran for the
presidency. and unfettered by any record or
Othef issues, might have entered the field
this year as an opponent OF the administra-
ton on the sole question OF imperialism
and forced a division of the voters between
himself and Mckinley on those lines. But
this is impossible TO one whose record is
that of a shif,y politician in the past, and
whose attitude az the present time Is thai
of a man anxious TO show himself enough
OF a Populist TO prevent the desertion OF his
allies in that party and yet trying 10 make
sound-money men believe that he really
does not take SO much stock in financial
quacxery as he pretends 10 do. IL is tie
composite now so well recognized as
Organism which Is the real issue OF the
Democratic = Populist = Silver Republican
campaign.

by the wording of the territorial bill Con-

liquors in the territory of Hawaii. In Sec
ton So of the territorial bill are the words:
"Nor shall spirituous or intoxicating liquors
be sold. except under such regulations and
restrictions as the territorial Legislature
shall provide"
The territorial Legislature has not met
yet, and canno meet for some months, un-
less there is a special session. hence no
regulations at all have been made or pro-
vided. III the old rules and restrictions are
void. the penalties for violating them will
fall with them. and Hawaii is. for the time
being, a wide open country"
