CAUTIOUS.
Government officials Trying To Avoid
Use of Word "war.-

BERLIN, June 1.-THE following semi
official dispatch has been received here
from Toxic: The japanese government
has been cut off from all communication
with Picking since June II. The japanese
consul at Che-Foo does not report any
thing concerning the destruction of the
legations at Picking"
The German government continues 10
express its opinions with the utmost eau
ton regarding the situation i'm China.
Even now it contrives to avoid the use
Of the word war and still expresses a
hope that the Picking government is inno-
cent of deliberate hostile action. The Ger
man press, however, is outspoken in its
demands for more vigorous steps. The Vos-
sische Zeitung says: Germany, in c%onjunc-
ton with the other powers. Will bear her
share of the burden or re-establishing nor
NAL conditions, but she will claim an ade-
quate share of the reward"
An official of the Foreign ONCE remarked
to-day that If the alarming news from
Peking last received was true some con-
irmation of it would almost certainly have
reached the coast, adding: Still, the For
eign Office Is prepared to hear bad news
when any news does come. which Will
robably be several days hence"
The Foreign Office emphasizes the fact
that the Taku forts fired on the interna-
tional feet in answer to a request to land
marines to protect foreigners in Tien-Tsin.
1t is unable TO explain the action of the
Chinese commander except upon the as
sumption that he acted under general
orders from Picking.
The Foreign Office has no confirmation
of the report published in the British
papers that the German gunboat Hits was
badly damaged in the engagement WITH
the forts and that her captain was killed.
1t discredits these rumors.
A leading official, speaking of the For
eign Office, repeats the denial that the
powers are negotiating regarding a course
of joint action, and says that everything
has been left to the various commanders,
who will simply perform police duties
An official dispatch avs that everything
is quiet at Kiao-Chou. The mother Of the
German minister at Picking, Baron Won
Ketteler, in Munster, has received a tele-
gram from China, saying that the news of
her sons death is not true.
The Chinese minister in Berlin has coun-
fernandez the diplomatic reception for
Friday next, invitations to which had al
ready been issued.

VIEWS OF A MISSIONARY.
The Boxers Chief Object Is tn Expel
Foreigners from China,

NEW YORK, June 19.-The Rev. William
Christie, missionary of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance. stationed at Toa Chez
north China, on the borders of Thibet, ar
rived here on the Furnessia. In an inter-
view he said: "The Boxer society's chief
purpose IS to expel foreigners from China.
They don't seem to have any spite against
any particular nationality or against mis-
sionaries especially. They are not mere
marauders or robbers. but without doubt
have secret backing from the mandarins.
The Empress dowager may not have any
Official relations with them, but they nave
her moral support. ] do not think they
will make a long continued fight, as they
are unorganized."
How, then, do you account for Admiral
Seymour's force being compelled to turn
bach TO Tien-Tsin?"
1.-The navy has no commissariat. and
without doubt a portion of the imperial
troops joined the Boxers. The influence of
General Tung Fuh Hsiang may have some
thing TO do with the imperial troops Join
ing the Boxers. He is the general who
quelled the ANN rebellion about
five years ago. He and the army with
which he conquered thar rebellion were or
dered to Picking. and have been stationed
around that city for the past two years.
He is VIGOROUSLY anti-foreign. There are
about SO, 0co. 900 people in these provinces

LORD sALIsBuRY's WARNING.
OvcrzeaIousness of Missionaries May
Lead to Slaughters.

LONDON, June 19.-Lord Salisbury was
the principal speaker at the bi-centenary
meeting, this afternoon, of the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel, which took
place in this city. The premier apologized
for his presence, because, he said, mis-
sionaries were not popular at the Foreign
Offices. Referring to China, he said that,
though the persons slaughtered were
Christians, it must not be ina gined they
We're murdered simply because the Chinese
disliked their religion. 1t was because the
idea prevailed there and elsewhere that
missionary work was merely an instru-
ment by which secular government
achieved its objects. While this was I'M
just, and though the missionaries could
not renounce their work, the utmost eau
ton ought to mark their actions, as over
zealousness led to martyrdom and caused
the death of soldiers and sailors sent to
avenge the outrages.

Bryan on Pensions in 1892 and 1900.

III MS letter OF acceptance last
week VIM. j. Bryan endorsed liberal
pension laws i'll the following Ian
guage.
"The party expresses its pride in
the soldiers and sailors of all our
wars, and declares its purpose to deal
generously with them and their de-
pendents. A liberal policy is natural
and necessary in a government which
depends upon citizen soldiery, in
stead of large standing army. Self
interest, as we'll as gratitude, compels
the government to make bountiful
provision for those who, in the hour
of danger, and at great sacrifice of
business, health and life, tender their
services to their country.
The pension laws should be con-
strued according to the generous
spirit which prompted their passage.
The platform very properly reiterates
the position taken in 1896, that the
fact of enlistment shall be deemed
conclusive evidence that the soldier
was sound when the government ac-
cepted him. A certificate given now
to the health of a person 40 years of
age, even if easily obtainable, should
not have as much weight as the GER
tificate of the medical officer who ex-
amined the volunteer with view Of
ascertaining his fitness for army SER
vice.
In 1892 Bryan was the editor of the
Omaha World-Herald and said some
thil that is not calculated to make
hifi1 hany votes now He showed his
love for the old soldiers in the follow
ing editorial:
"The next session Of congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
$36, 100000. Ihis is Oh account of pen
sions. The appropriation for pensions
for the next year must be not less
than $15O,O00,O00. 1t is therefore
easy arithmetic to perceive that the
appropriation that congress must
make for pensions next session must
aggregate not less than $1S0,O0O,OO0.
This tremendous sum would, in itself,
be enough to run reasonable govern
mont. One would not complain if it
were an honest debt, because it was
never earned by any act of patriotism
or heroic service. The government is
held up and despolled of no mean
portion of this, and it seems helpless
to defend ITSELF One cannot help be-
ing curious to know how many years
it will take to exhaust the generation
which feels itself injured by the war
1t is safe to say that never did a gen.
Grafton display such remarkable lon.
gevity.'
Bryan had little idea he would ever
be presidential candidate when he
wrote the above paragraph which re-
fleets his true spirit toward the old
soldier. There are many old soldiers
all over the country who will not
relish the above paragraph and who
will ward against supporting such {
man for president.
