IN REPUBLICAN sTRONGHoLDs.
Bryan Makes Dozen Speeches and Immense
Crowds Hear Him.
(By the Associated Press J

Anderson, Ind, Oct. 5.-The meeting
which closed here at 10 o'clock tonight
was the last of a series of remarkably
large political demonstrations made in
connection with the appearance in In
diana of w. j. Bryan, the Democratic
candidate. Mr.. Bryan left Indianapolis
early this morning, with the intention of
visiting during the day as many places as
possible in what is known as the gas belt
of the State. and in pursuance Of that
purpose he almost circled the city of In
dianapolis, visiting no fewer than nine
counties and making an even dozen
speeches at important manufacturing
| centers. All the communities trayersed
are considered Republican in politics.
There were immense outpourings at all
the towns visited and no interruption in
dicating pronounced opposition occurred
On the contrary, there was at almost all
places much enthusiasm manifested by
Mr. Bryan's supporters. Trusts formed
the subject of most of the speeches of the
day, but at Richmond Mr.. Bryan devoted
| all his time to Imperialism.
The presiding officer at the Richmond
meeting was Hon. Henry U. Johnson,
| formerly prominent member OF Congress
and until recently pronounced Republi-
can When he introduced Mr.. Bryan, the
latter was received with great applause
by one of the largest audiences of the
day. The speech at this place was pre-
faced by reference to Mr.. Johnsons
change of party affiliations Referring to
Mr.. Johnson. he said:
Mr. Johnson and l served in the House
together. / knew of his ability then and
knew of his industry. l knew he was

ENGLAND AGAIN FOLLOWS OUR LEAD
Sir Claude Mcdonald Authorized to Enter Into
Relations With the Chinese Envoys. Minis
ters Charged With Inquiries Into
the Matter OF Punishment.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 5.-The British Gov
ernment has followed in the footsteps of
the United States in the Chinese nego-
tiations. 1t has authorized Sir Claude
Macdonald, the British Minister at Pekin,
to enter into relations with the Chinese
officials, just as our Government did in
the case of Mr.. Conger. 1t has left to
its Minister discretionary powers to pass
upon the sufficiency of the credentials of
Ii Hung Chang, Prince Ching and the
other Chinese envoys. Although the for
NAL response to the latest German pro-
position has not yet been returned by
Lord Salisbury, the United States Gov
ernment has been informed that, though
such answer may not be made at ALL
being unnecessary in the light of the re-
cent developments, yet Sir Claude Mac
Donald will be instructed to make the
same inquiries relative to the punish
ment of the Chinese ringleaders that have
been committed to Mr.. Conger
The first practical outcome of Special
Commissioner Rockhill's investigation has
been an instruction to him by the State
Department to cooperate with Minister
Conger in the inquiries with which that
official is now charged, relative to the
character of the Chinese ENJOYS and pun
ishments.
The next step toward the final settle
ment of the Chinese troubles must come
from Mr. Conger and his brother Minis
eers at Pekin. They are charged now
with inquiries into the matter of punish
ment, which certainly will occupy some
time, and it is not expected that much
headway will be made in other directions
until this phase of the case has been
passed.
1T is believed here that the Chinese
Government will make an earnest effort
to meet the demand of the powers re-
specting punishments. Touching the
French proposals, however, the officials
here have already received intimations
that the Chinese Government is prepar-
ing to offer strenuous objection to some
of them notably to the propositions look
ing to the razing of the Taku forts and
the interdiction of the importation of
firearms.

on the mortality of young pigs cannot
be questioned. With sows that are
soon to farrow that part OF the work
cannot now be modified. But it Is
equally true that sows to come in the,
near future will rear more pigs when
given close attention than when not
thus cared for. Every young pig lost
means just so much profit cut out Of
returns. II every one who hasta brood

fore she III due to farrow. Give her
time TO get In touch with her sur
roundings. See to 1t that cold
drafts cannot reach her or her
young. Have the litter dry, suit

the SOW food that will keep the diges-
ton right, taking every pains to avoid
constipation. When she does farrow,
