CHINA'S APPEAL

Washington, July 23.-Thc President
has listened to the appeal of the Chi
neSe government. as transmitted
through Minister WI. and has Sgnified
his willingness to mediate between the
imperial government and the powers.
but only on conditions which first must
be met by the Chinese government. The
exact nature of the terms proposed by
the State Department cannot be stated
until tomorrow, when it is expected
that publication will be made of the
text of the Chinese appeal and of the
Presidents message
1t is known. however. that the an
swer is entirely consistent with the
statement of principles laid down by
Secretary Hay in his identical note to
the powers. and moreover it accepts as
truthful the Chinese statements rela-
tive to the safety of the foreign minis

ditioins which the Chinese government
could not meet even If so disposed. if it
actually is struggling for its own eX-

immediate relief of foreigners in Pekin.
and moreover. to the protection of all
foreigners, missionaries and traders in
China. and to the restoration Of order.
With this much accomplished, the state
Department feels that it can properly
approach the powers with the Chinese
propositions for a settlement for what

DEWEY DENIES PROMISING
INDEPENDENCE TO FILIPINOS.

! Washington. July 23.-The letter re-
ceived by Senator Pettigrew from one
of Aguinaldo's generals, j. Alejandri-
| no. containing an alleged account of
an interview between himself and Adj
lniral Dewey on board the Olympia, in
April, 1S9S in which it is stated that
Admiral Dewey promised indepen-
dcnce to the Filipinos, was shown to
the admiral to-day and by him char
teriZed as tissue of falsehoods' He
declared it absurd on its face.
Il not only had no power to prom
ise independence to the Filipinos,"
said he. but the whole tenor of the
words put in my mouth stamps them
us false. l am made to say things
which l never thought of, and which
| could never have uttered. You will
notice that l am addressed in the al
legged interview as admiral when at
the time ! was Il commodore"
The admiral said he had never heard
of Alejandrino. Several Filipinos. af-
ter much importuning. came aboard
were anxious to be taken to Manila.
Il considered their representations
of little Importance, said the admiral
"and did not take them to Manila. La
ter | gave permission to Aguinaldo
and about a dozen others to come TO
Manila. All that they were anxious
about at that time was an end of the
tyranny of Spain, against which they
had been fighting. After the destruc
ton of Montejo's fleet the city vrtu-
ally surrendered, and l am satisfied
that if we had had 5000 troops there
at the time. we could have gone ashore
and been received by the Filipinos as
delvcrers. They had absolutely no
thought of independence. That was
an afterthought of their leaders. dur
ing the interim between the smashing
of the Spanish fleet and the arrival
of the United States troops"
Speaking of the report that Cuba
was to be evacuated by the American
troops after the holding of the conSIi-
tutional convention, Admiral Dewey
said he did not see how the United
States could turn over the islands lln-
til stable government had been es-
tablished.

A program of unusual excellence is
being arranged by the state officers,
and when completed will offer such
attractions as will draw the Chris
tihn young people of the entire West.
Among the speakers of national repu-
tation who have already been secured
is John Willis Baer, secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor,
and one of the most magnetic speakers
in the Christian world of to-day. Ne
gotiations have also been almost com
pleted with several other we'll known
speakers of exceptional ability along
particular lines. who will speak espe-
cially of missionary, evangelistic, Bible
study and kindred subjects. A full
outline of the program will shortly be
ready for publication. The railroads
have signitied their willingness to
grant very greatly reduced rates.
The local committees are pushing
forward the plans for the entertain

characteristic of all of Denver's enter

There i. a horse in Havana, Cuba,
which probably has saved the lives of
1900 persons. He is kept in Havana's
archaeological laboratory, which, like
the Pasteur Institute Of Baltimore, was

The famous Trans Missouri Freight

The famous Trans-Missouri Freight
association decision of the Supreme
Court was said to have thrown the
railroads back into a competitive"
state. But railroad passenger asso-
citation has decreed that any road run
ming train between New York and
Chicago in less than twenty-eight
hours must charge 81 above the regular
fare. That does not look like competi-
tion. An association sufficiently power
full to compel the rich and enterprising
roads to forego the advantage of their
enterprise is hardly the shorn, crippled
and decrepit creature that its members
have represented it as being.

A recent visitor to an astronomical
observatory looked through the great
telescope, and reported a remarkable
appearance in the sky. The professor
standing near, was incredulous; the
locker persistent. The man of science
took his turn at the instrument, and
hen quietly remarked: There is a
iobweb forming across the glass. That
accounts for your vision of the extra
ordinary object" Observers in vari-
GUS departments Of human thought
and activity. who report the coming of
wonderful or threatening things into
view may, so to say, have only a cob
web to thank for what they see. The
business, the political or the religious
armament has really no such occu-
pants of its space.
