REPLIES TO CHINA.
M'kINLEY DEFINES ATTITUDE OF
THE UNITED STATES.
President Offers to Mediate Under Ger
tain Conditions for the Prevention
of War with Europe and Division of
the Celestial Empire.

Secretary Of State Hay Monday after
noon handed TO Minister Wa the reply of
President Mckinley to the appeal from
Emperor Euang Hsu to the United
States to act as mediator and endeavor
to bring about settlement of the present
troubles in China without war between
China and the powers. The President
consents to act as mediator or rather to
ne the good offices Of the United States
TO bring about cooperation by the pow
ers with China for the purpose of carry
ing out the policy outlined in Secretary
Hays note of July 2 to the powers.
by consenting TO act as mediator the
President has assumed that Minister Wu
and the Chinese authorities in Pekin are
acting in good faith. Secretary Hay did
not even require any proof from Minister
WI that the request for mediation was
genuine. He accepted the fact that it
was presented at the State Department
by the accredited diplomatic representa-
tive of the Chinese empire SIS sufficient
guaranty of its authenticity. Meanwhile
efforts will be pushed to relieve the minis
ters in Pekin.
The position of the Chinese as they
would like to have the world understand
it is that the imperial government has
at no time participated in the anti-foreigr
outbreak or in any attack upon tht min,
listers or other foreigners, but has done
all In its power to restrain and prevent
such attacks; that the taking of the Taku
forts by the powers was an act of war
against China, and that the imperial gov
eminent is justified in regarding with sus.
picion The motives of the powers, which.
having previously despoiled the empire of
territory, are now suspected of seeking
opportunities to enlarge their territorial
possessions.
The United States is the one power
that is not suspected of coveting Chinese
territory, and this fact. taken in connec
ton with Rear Admiral Kempff's refusal
to join in the attack on the Taku forts.
is given as the reason why China has
appealed to the United States to en-
deayor TO bring about a peaceful settle
ment.
The underst ding upon which the
President consented to act is understood
to be that the Chinese Government shall,
so far as it is within it's power 90 do so,
bring about the objects which the United
States announced as it's purpose in Sec
rotary Hays note. These are:
The opening up of communication
with Pekin and the rescue of the officials,
missionaries and other Americans who
are in danger
The aifording of all possible protection
everywhere in China to American life
and property.
The guarding and protecting Of all le-
Ultimate American interests.
THE prevention of the spread Of dis
3nrs to other provinces of the emT ire
AID of n recurrence of such disorders
The first of these objects will have to
| be accomplished as preliminary to any
action by the United States desired by
| the Chinese Government

T1e results of the Porto Rican census.
taken in October last. show that the ISL
and has 933, 243 Inhabitants With pop
uation of 2G4 to the square mile. Porto
Rico is the most densely populated part
of our new possessions There is good
reason why Porto Rico should have
far larger population. in proportion TO
area, than Cuba The island was always
the favored colony of the Spanish. For
over two centuries Spain invited coloni-
cation. Lands were allotted gratis, while
ther lasted, aud settlers were exempt
from direct taxation. The interior,
though very hilly. is well adapted fer
small farming. Most of the land is own
ed by the peasantry and small holders,
fruit farms predominating. though there
are many small coffee estates. as we'll as
large and small farms raising sugar. to-
bacco and cattle. This is the reason why
four-ffths Of the population is scattered
through tho rural districts and only ore
fifth live in the towns. Porto Rico is
notably a country of small farmers. The
island is still growing in population. Since
1887. the density has increased from 220
to 2G4 to the square mile. With good
government. more schools. and larger
commercial opportunities there need be
no pause in the development of Porto
Rico. But not few observers believe
the island has population enough. There
is little prospect that an increase in
density would be advantageous.

Perhaps no one thing so simplifies
and facilitates the movement of wheat
as the present rigid system of inspec-

load of grain must needs be carefully
examined by every prospective pur-
chaser, were he miller or commission
man; and If this buyer sold again,
second examination became necessary,
with its attendant disagreement as to
quality. The business of wheat buy
ing, indeed, was full of time-consuming
details, and in the end neither party
to trade was likely to be satisfied.
