Paris, Aug. 15.-The French foreign
office has received the following dis
patch from the minister of France at
Pekin, NJ. Pichon, dated Aug. 9:
I'VE have been advised that Ii Hung
Chang is charged to negotiate tele-
graphically with the powers.
We are ignorant of the events oc-
curing outside the legation. 1t is sur
rounded by hostile defenses. How could
we negotiate without the diplomatic
corps regaining its rights and the lega-
ton grounds being evacuated?
eff the negotiations prevent the
march of the allied troops, which is
our only salvation, we risk falling
into Chinese hands. The section
wherein lies the French legation is
occupied by imperial troops who
have not entirely ceased to fire.

RELOCATING it to a subordinate position.
The Democratic platform declares that
Imperialism is the paramount issue of
the campaign and Mr.. Bryan's speech
at Indianapolis accepts this conception
of the issue, emphasizes it and vindi-
Gates it.
But a declaration hat imperialism
is a paramount issue is equivalent to
a declaration that it is the sole issue.
for no presidential election ever de-
cided more than one question. In my
judgment the platform actually adopt
ed by the Democratic convention
should be much more satisfactory to
sound money men than any of the sub
stitutes suggested by older and more
conservative managers. Since nobody
pretends that Mr.. Bryan's opinions on
the questions raised by the Chicago
platform of 1895 have been changed,
his refusal to disguise them in any
way is highly creditable to his honesty,
and honesty is the first essential of
patriotic presidential service.
Mr.. Bryan's conversion to a belief
in sound money would, in my opinion,
be a reason for national rejoicing, but
any abandonment or abasement of the
frankness and sincerity which have al
ways distinguished him, would be lit
tie short Of a national calamity.
Dares to Face Issue.
1--WE need not accept Mr.. Bryan as
an infallible. or even as sound
authority on economics. to acknowledge
that his integrity his truthfulness and
absolute sincerity have been among the
most salutarv influences Of this genera
ton on our political life. 1t is certain
that this country is indebted to him
for the gold standard law, which,
though it has the defects of its party
origin is the best contribution TO our
national stability s.hce the resumption
of specie payment. If the Demo-
cratic platform of 1896 had been eva

controlled the convention, can anybody
doubt that the Republicans would have
met evasion with evasion and that the
financial issue would be still unsettled,

duced Governor Wells.
Governor Wells Remarks.
Governor Wells paid a high tribute
to the idea of fraternity that is the
basis of the WoOdmen order and told
of the good its members are doing in
caring for the sick, cheering the dis
couraged and protecting the widows
and orphans of the dead members from
want and suffering. The Woodmen, he
said, were welcome TO stay in Utah
as long as they wished. We have many
good people here, but we have room
for millions more. and his wish was
that the delegates to the head camp
who were here now from all over the
West would just settle. They might not
find many trees to chop. and if they
cut down so much as a Christmas tree
they would be arrested. But in Utah's
J mines and on her farms they. would
find plenty to do, and if they were not
good for anything else, the people
would elect them to office. The gov
ernor's remarks were well received.

to better the condition of the appear

HOW to Handle q Gun.


In picking up your gun from lying
nat, standing against anything, from q
companion or boat, do not take hold
Of the muzzle and drag it toward you.
Take hold of it by the forestock and
barrel if you are only using one hand;
If two, in the regular way you grasp It
when you go to shoot. In carrying
your gun do not keep the muzzle d.
rectly behind you. Throw the butt to
the right or left, whichever shoulder
you are carrying it on. This will bring
the muzzle toward the opposite Shout
der, thus rendering it easy to carry, as
it will be resting on your neck and
shoulder instead of on the small part
Of your shoulder and with the muzzle
upward will also tighten it little.
I think there are more men shot with
their own guns by taking them from a
boat than in any other way. When
you run your boat or canoe to the bank,
your gun is likely to be in the bow,
which think is the best place for it.
Take hold of it by the forestock and
step out. Put. it in safe place where
you are sure it will not fall down. Then
draw up your boat or do anything else
you have to do, but do not let your gun
stay in the boat until you have Shout
dered your pack and then catch hold Of
the muzzle, drag it up over the gun
vale, hook the hammers and have it
explode. 1t is likely to blow out your
bra1ns.-F0rest and Stream.

Our recently organized band with
twenty-five pieces has beenl Obliged
to discontinue 'tooting" for the
present and for the simple reason
that there Is a lack OF funds to sup
port an instructor.
The leader of the old North Echo
band, Jake Setula, left the city and
that organization was without q
head.
Walter Folsom, leader OF the city
band, went into business so they
were without an instructor. The
members OF the two bands then un-
tied with the hope OF being able to
stand the seige and keep their heads
above water but-they sank.
They thought that by combining
their efforts they could secure some
assistance from the city, but un-
fortunately, there Is a lack Of funds
in the treasury for the support of
q musical organization. AS the
boys are all hard working fellows
they do not feel able to go down In
their Jeans" and pay an instructor
and fearing that they might incur a
debt in hiring an INSTRUCTOR, obliga-
tions which they would not be able
to meet by merely giving intertain-
ments and concerts, and not being
able to get aid from any other
source, they temporarily "quit the
business"

may soon be found by which the
