CHINA CAN'T PAY, SAYS Ii.
Viceroy Declares That the En-
pire Will be Unable to Settle
For Damages.

Washington, Aug. S.-Li Hung Chang
has informed the powers that China
will be unable to pay monetary in
demnity, which she expects the pow
ers to demand as a result of damages
sustained by their representatives and
citizens in the empire, and to meet the
expenses incurred in consequence Of
military operations.
This declaration was not invited by
the powers, but was made by the vice.
roy in the course of conversation he
had with the foreign consuls at Shang-
hal. Though no formal communica-
tion has been made to the Chinese gov
ernment by any power on the subject
Of an indemnity, Ii Hung Chang and
the Peking authorities thoroughly un-
derstand that the powers will demand
a monetary reparation for the damage
done foreign property and the military
expenses they have incurred. 1t is con-
sidered likely therefore. that 1t is in an
ticipation Of the submission Of such a
demand that Ii Hung Chang has plead
ed that China IL too poverty stricken
to comply with 1t. 1t is understood
that Ii has called attention to the
heavy indemnity exacted by Japan at
the close Of the Japanese Chinese war

is nearer declaring war on China at
this moment than 1t has been since the
ministers were cut Off from communi-
cation with the capitals Of the world.
Though the authorities have had
every reason to believe that the Chi
nese government is responsible for the
present condition Of affairs that prevail
1t has apparently believed the polite
fiction that mob was in control in
Peking. and that the imperial govern
ment was unable to regain control.
Minister Conger's dispatch entirely
dissipates any such belief.
He states that the "Chinese govern
ment is insisting upon our leaving Pek-
ing, which would be certain DEATH"
and then that there is rifle firing upon
us daily by imperial troops" Taken in
conjunction with previous information
received by the authorities, there can
be no longer any doubt that the Chi
nese government is directly responsible
for the existing situation. 1t is now
reiterated with emphasis that the pres
ident proposes to hold that government
to strict accountability for the occur
rences in Peking.

PIERCED HIS HEART.
Secretary of the British En-
bassy at Vienna Commit
ted Suicide.

Vienna, Aug. S.-Mr. Hugh Grosvenor
second secretary Of the British embassy
here, shot himself in his apartments
In the Stroh Gasse on Monday night
piercing his heart with a rifle shot.
The rumored motive for the act was
his love for married woman, and
gambling difficulties. He played high
at the Jockey club of Vienna and was
understood to have lost the greater part
Of 100000 crowns in one night there.
Grosvenor was the son of Lord Bury,
and was formerly second secretary ut
the British legation in Peking. He was
transferred to Vienna just one year
ago.

THREE SUITS FILED.
One of Them is the Shortest On
RecOrd-What the Petition
Relates.

A little petition only three lines long
was filed in common pleas court We'd
nesday morning that has in 1t the ele-
ments Of a first class law suit and
promises to makes lots of trouble. The
plaintiff is Hannah z. Weaver and
the defendant James Clair. The COM
plainant says that Clair assaulted and
beat her to her damage in the sum of
$1,000. J. d. Lewis is attorney for the
plaintiff.
A suit has been filed in court on be-
half Of John w. Rohrer against John
S. Rohrer, Sr., ct al. The plaintiff says
he is the nephew Of Jacob Sherrick
and an heir and he asks for partition
Of the property.
The Savings and Loan Company,
through Attorney Whiting. has sued in
common pleas court to foreclose mort
gage and collect $2.s7S.75 from Lucy A.
and Herbert s. Saxton. The Novelty
Iron Works Is also made a party to the
suit as it claims some interest in the
property.

State we believe to be the first step
toward a union of the two races and
the establishment of just and good
government for all.
"Our legations in Peking and those
of the other powers have been barbar-
ously attacked by an insurgent mob
and 1t is feared that many Of their in
mates have been murdered. How far
the Chinese authorities are accomplices
of this atrocious crime, and whether
the British minister and his family are
among the victims, are still matters of
uncertainty. In conjunction with the
other powers every effort is to be made
to punish this unexampled crime"
The speech also mentions the upris-
ing in Ashanti, the distress resultant
from famine and plague in India and
closes with references to the legisla-
tion Of the past session.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-08-10

and that he has declared this settle-
ment almost made China bankrupt.
This government is not paying the
slightest attention to Ii Hung Chang's
declaration, nor, SO far as known, Is
any other government. 1t proposes.
and Europe and japan will do likewise,
to compel the Peking government to
reimburse the allies for the expendi-
lures they have made and to pay proper
indemnity for the damage due Ameri-
cans and their interests. What the
extent Of the indemnity will be has
not been determined, nor in the nature
of things can 1t be until military oper-
ations have ended.

TOWNE Is OFF

Addresses a Letter to Peoples
Party, Withdrawing
IN FAVOR OF MIR. STEVENSON.
Pays a High Compliment to the Demo-
cratic National Ticket-Plstforn
All That Could BE
Desired.

Duluth, Aug. SIN a letter to p. NJ.
Ringdahl, chairman, and the members
of the committee of notification Of can
didate for vice president Of the Peo-
pies party, Charles A. Towne has de-
clined the nomination rendered him by
the Populist national convention at
Sioux Falls.
The letter is of considerable length
and sets forth fully Mr.. Towne's views
in regard to the nomination.It is be-
lieved the Populist committee empow-
cred to fill the vacancy caused by Mr.
Townes withdrawal will Immediately
indorse Adlai E. Stevenson for vice
president on the ticket with w. j..
Bryan. In the course Of his letter Mr..
Towne says:
Geographical considerations, and
the fact that in certain parts of the
country it was deemed wise to defer a
sentiment demanding that the candi-
date should be man already identified
with the Democratic organization, not
only by holding its principles and ad-
vocating it's cause, but also by name
and profession, determined the selec-
tion of the Hon. Adlai Z. Stevenson,
Of Illinois, a man Of unimpeachable
character and Of ripe political expe-
rience, who, as a member Of congress
more than 20 years ago, was a close as
sociate and co-laborer Of the Hon. j.
B. Weaver and other great political
leaders in the reform political move
ments Of that day, and who, as vice
president from 1893 to 1897, distin-
guished himself by rebelling against
the betrayal of Democratic principles
by President Cleveland.
'In conclusion, I may be permitted
to express the profound satisfaction
which feel in contemplating the pres
ent attitude of the Democratic party.
In 1896 I was one Of those who, keenly
feeling the recreancy of the Republican
party, was much in doubt whether the
memorable Democratic convention
at Chicago in adopting its splendid
platform and nominating William j.
Bryan for the presidency was actuated
by an impulse or by a PURPOSE. The
magnificent achievements at Kansas
City have settled all possible doubts
on that subject

IT WOULD Be
CERTAIN DEATH
Says COnger, to Leave Peking,
As the Government Insists.
MINISTER'S UNDER RIFLE FIRE
Another Message, Undated, Bat Supposed
to Have Been Sent About the 3Oth,
Received From Minister
COnger.

Washington, Aug. 8.-The following
cablegram from Minister Conger was
received last night by the state de-
partment:
'Tsi-Nan Yamen, Aug. ITO Secre-
tary Of State: Still besieged. Stu
alton more pracarious. Chinese gov-
ernment insisting upon our leaving
Peking, which would be certain death.
Rifle firing upon US daily by imperial
troops. Have abundant courage, but
little ammunition or provisions.
1.-TWO progressive yamen ministers
beheaded. All connected with lega-
ton of the United States well at pres
ent moment "CONGER."
The cablegram came in the official
cipher of the department. 1t Is un-
dated like his previous cab,egram, but
from the internal evidence furnished
by his reference to the beheading of
two members Of the tsung- i-yamen,
and to the insistence Of the Chinese
government Of the removal of the min
listers from Peking. state department
officials say 1t may be assigned a date
not early than July 80, and perhaps
not later than August 2. 1t Is checked
by the telegraph company as having
been put on the wires at Tsi-Nan, a
large city about so miles southeast of
Peking, August Z. The dispatch
reached the department at 4:2O .. m.
but was not made public until late in
the evening.
The dispatch proves that not only
are the imperial troops attacking the
international representatives in Pek-
ing, but the Chinese government Is ac-
tually conniving to bring about their
assassination.
The message was telephoned last
night to the president No action has
yet been taken. but 1t ia stated on ex-
cellens authority that the United States

my Lords and Gentlemen: Our re-

with the United States continue
friendly. The act of establishing the
common wealth of Australia will weld
together the federation colonies and
add strength to that portion Of my
empire. The South African war, into
which we were forced by the aggressive
action of the two republics, has not
reached a conclusion, but the invaders
have been driven beyond the frontiers
which they have crossed and the two
capitals of the enemy and much Of their
territory have been occupied. The
operations have been marked by brill
liant skill and the success Of the troops
OF the United Kingdom ana Of Canada,

you today a committee of delegates
from that convention whose duty it is
TO convey to you in formal manner the
notification that that assembly, acting
for its members and their constituents,

you as a candidate for president and

FOUR YEARS AGO
You led the party in the most brilliant
contest in its history You then failed
to win the goal, but you did more, you
won the respect and admiration of your
political foes and the ardent love and
admiration Of your followers. That con-
test was made by you against stupen-
dous odds, against unfortuitous condi-
tions that do not confront you today,
and we trust this campaign will be
pitched on a higher plane. and that it
will be conducted in a manner more
worthy the great dignity which at
taches to the two most exalted offices
in the land than was the last.
And now you are with absolute un-
