IS PARAMOUNT

Lincoln, Neb.. July 17.-Hon. w.
j. Bryan has been devoting consider
able time to the preparation of his
speech of acceptance to be deliv-
cred at Indianapolis on the occa-
sion of his notification of his NOM
ination for president by the Kansas
City convention. 1t is to be a
longer speech than that delivered by
President Mckinley at Canton last
week. 1t will reverse the order of
discussion and the issues. Silver.
which the president discussed in his
opening sentences, will be discussed
last. while Porto Rico. Cuba, the
Philippines and all kindred subjects
that are embraced under the head of
Imperialism will be discussed first.
Mr.. Bryan will also supply an omis-
sion that occurred in the presidents
speech by devoting a chapter to
trusts.
Clear Dtscussion.
1t is his purpose to define his atti-
tude on all pending issues so clearly
that there can be no doubt as to where
he stands and what he will do if he is
elected president of the United States.
He will acknowledge faith in the Phil
ippines plank which declares that the
Filipinos are entitled to independence
and promises that they shall have that
reward for their centuries Of battling
for liberty. Mr.. Bryan will also
promise that Cuba shall be instantly
released from the bonds that are now
holding the islands to the United States
in defiance of the solemn promises
which were made to the Gu ban people
before and after the war with Spain. He
will take q strong stand for the exter-
mination of illegal and rapacious
trusts and for the complete regula-
ton of all corporations. 1t is un-
usual for him to prepare a speech in
advance. The only time he took that1
pains since his first nomination for
president in 1896 was. when he was
formally notified of the nomination |
in Madison Square garden, New York. |
he nor his admirers were |
ever quite satisfied with the result. |
oratory and spontane- |
ous and impromptu eloquence are
two different things. and espe-
cially before an audience that |
wants eloquence. Mr.. Bryan appre-
ciates the difference between the two
methods of speaking and favors the
but too much depends
lpon ultimate effect of the speech to
rust anything of his formal rati-
ication but manuscript.

many reports from Shanghai is the ru-
NOR that since the massacre at Peking
five Chinese regiments have been or
dered south with instructions to make
Ching Hang Po, at the head of the
grand canal, the objective point for
the southwark extension of the Boxer
movement.
No further news has been received
regarding the reported massacre at
Peking, from any source. In the house
of commons last evening, beyond an
admission that there was no ground
for hoping that the report was not
true, William st. John Brodrick. par
liamentary secretary to the foreign Of
fee, had nothing to communicate. An
unusual hush fell upon the chamber
when the subject came up. A few
members doffed their hats, but other
wise there was no demonstration.
No question was put to Lord Sails
bury in the house of lords, probably
by a preconcerted arrangement, it be-
ing considered that at the present
stage of affairs it would be only en-
barrassing to force the premier to
make a statement. 1t was whispered
on the ministerial side of the commons
that the next vote on account for mill
tary undertakings in South Africa and
China will be startling in amount.

ed by the man-in-the-strcet, the def
mite news shows that in spite of de-
mails, Russia has advanced n strong
force within striking distance of Herat,
and whether she intends this as dis
tinct demonstration against Afghanis-
tan or merely as a blind to draw off
attention from or ultimately assist her
objects in the Persian Gulf is merely
a matter OF surinise. Whatever all this
really means, Il large portion of the

Lords, the Associated Press, is able to
give the opinions of British Govern
ment officials, which, In the main, are
those of Lord Salisbury, upon this
latest development. But, first OF all, it
vii! be well TO say that no action has
yet been taken or decided on by the
British. Weeks ago the report of n
Russian advance was circulated, and
when questioned on the subject the
Russian Ambassador assured his dear
friends in Downing street that the re-
ports were exaggerated. It was moth
ing but annual manoeuvres, he explain
ed and, least of all, was it intended
as a menace. IN fact. 1t was 50 belit-
tied by this diplomat that the British
officials had no other alternative but to
believe the reports were practically un-
true, especially as Russia, in conjunc-
ton with every other European power,
had, a few weeks previous, formally as
sured Lord Salisbury that she had not
the faintest intention OF profiting by
Great Britain's embarrassment III south
Africa by present outstanding claims
or interfering in any way.
LORD SALISBURY MISLED.
News from Central Asia trckles into
England slowly. but this week there
came from many sources information
showing that Russia's Ambassador had
to put it mildly, misled Lord Salisbury,
and the Foreign Office, Wednesday last,
had to bring itself up with n sharp turn
to the realization that the Central
Asian situation demanded immediate
attention. Yet, what form such atten-
ton will take constitutes dilemma on
the horns OF which the British Govern
ment Is still perched. Details OF the
proceedings on the borders OF Afghanl-
stan arc still lacking, and are likely to
be so for some time.
