Solution.
(By Associated Press)
BERLIN. October 5.-A high official Of
the Foreign Office asserted that the second
German note had met with warm re-
ception everywhere.
The Chinese question" said he, will
now make more rapid progress toward So
luton Sc far as the Powers are concerned
ALL however, depends upon the attitude of
the Chinese Government
Now that Germany has accepted the
Chinese initiative in the melting out of
punishment, the opinion is expressed here
that this plan offers a prospect of more
effective vengeance. inasmuch as the Chi
nese know the guilty parties better than
the foreign ministers could. and will be
inclined to impose severer penalties than
the European conscience would tolerate.

feet the free coinage of silver al the arti-
fetal ratio OF 16 10 ! 10 effect the ex-
pulsion OF both gold and silver from the

box and destroys our representative insti-
tutions, and to a change of the veto power
from the Executive to the bailot-box;
removing one Of the checks provided by

That assault upon the three coordinate

prejudice Since 1856 the national Demo-
