ends I caused to be addressed to the
several powers occupying territory
and maintaining spheres OF influence
in China The circular proposals of 1899,
inviting from them
Declaration OF Their Intentions
and views as to the desirability of the
adoption of measures insuring the
benefits of equality of treatment OF all
foreign trade throughout China, with
gratifying unanimity, the responses CO.
incided in this common policy enabling
me to see in the successful termination
of these negotiations proof OF the
friendly spirit which anlmates the
various powers interested in the I'M
trammelled development of commerce
and industry in the Chinese empire as
a source of vast benefit to the whole
commercial world
In this conclusion, which / had the
qualifications to announce as accepted
engagement to the interested powers
on March 20. 1900, | hopefully discern
ed potential factor for the abatement
of the distrust of foreign purposes
which for a year past had appeared TO
inspire the policy OF the imperial gov
eminent and for the effective eXertlon
by it of power and authority to quell
the critical anti-foreign movement in
the northern provinces most immedl-
ate influenced by the Manchu sentl-
menI
Seeking to testify confidence in the
willingness and ability of the imperial
administration to redress the wrongs
and prevent the evils we suffered and
feared, the marine guard, which had
l.een sent to Paris in the autumn OF
1899 for the protection of the legation,
was withdrawn at the earliest practic-
ale moment,
And All Pending Questions
were RENTED, as far as we were con-
cerned, to the ordinary resorts Of dip
lomatic intercourse.
The Chinese government proved,
however, unable to check the rising
strength of the Boxers and appeared
to be a prey to internal dissensions.
In the unequal contest the anti-foreign
Influences soon gained the ascendancy
under the leadership Of Prince Tuan.
Organized armies of Boxers, with
which the imperial forces affiliated,
held the country between Picking and
the coast, penetrated into Manchuria
up to the Russian borders, and through
their emissaries threatened like ris-
ing throughout northern China.
Attacks upon foreigners, destruction
Of their property, and slaughter of ma
tive converts were reported from all
sides The TsuLg-li-yamen, already
permeated with hostile sympathies,
could make no effective response to
the appeals of the legations. At this
critical juneture, in the early spring
of this year, a proposal was made by
the other powers that a combined
fleet should be assembled in Chinese
waters as moral demonstration, IN
der cover of which to exact of the
Chinese government respect for foreign
treaty rights and the suppression of
the Boxers.
The United States, while not parJici-
pating in the joint demonstration,
promptly sent FROM the Philippines all
ships that could be spared for service
on the Chinese coast.
A Small Force of Marines
was landed at Taku and sent to
Peking for the protection of the
American legation. Other powers
took similar action, until some four
hundred men were assembled in the
capital as legation guards.

The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty Again
Commended for Favorable Action.
The all-important matter of an inter
oceanic canal has assumed q new phase.
AdheTiug to its refusal TO reopen the
question of the forfeiture of the con-
tract OF the Maritime Canal Company,
which was terminated for alleged non
execution in October. 1899. the govern

mented that action by declaring the So
styled Eyre-Cragin option void for non

Protests in relation to these acts have

An Erratic nus.ian,. Suicide.

New York. Aug. 22.-John Carlson
shot and killed himself In Hoboken
yesterday. He was a member of a
wealthy Russian family and had served
as an officer in the Russian army. For
threatening to shoot a superior officer
he was forced TO fee TO this country
where for several years past he sup
ported himself as a fresco painter. At
stated intervals he received large re-
mlttances from Russia and these he
would spend in the most extravagant
manner. He would engage a full band
OF music and parade the streets at the
head OF II, charter a trolley car for
his sole use and do other erratic things
apparently for the sole purpose of get
ting rid of his money. These outbreaks
were always followed by fits of des-
pondency, and during one OF these he
killed himself.

FINANCES OF PORTO RICO
The Change in Provincial Cur
renoy Causes Distress.
STRIKES AMONG THE Poems

Finding They Had to Pay Dollar.
Where They Formerly Paid PESO.
For Articles of Common Necessity,
They Struck For Dollars.
San Juan, Aug. 22.-From Aug. 1
up to the present time Porto Rico has
been visited by a series OF intermit-
tent strikes among plantation poems
and laborers generally. These strikes
were the result OF a misunderstanding
or illusion over the value OF the Ameri-
can dollar. Although the time limit for
the redemption of the provincial cur
rency has been indefinitely extended,
the idea was current that that coin
would have no value after Aug. 1. The
price OF everything in Porto Rico was
advanced sc 2-3 per cent The poor
man, finding he had to pay dollars
where he formerly paid pesos for ar
ticles OF common necessity, struck for
dollars instead of pesos. There is a
semi-anarchistic or socialistic element
In Porto Rico headed by a man named
Santiago inglesias, an aggressive Span
lard. who has placed himself in a po-
sition which enables him to control
the laboring classes. He is at present in
Jail awaiting trial charged with
threatening murder.
Comparison has gradually caused
prices to adjust themselves. Some of
the more reasonable citizens did not
raise prices nor refuse to accept Porto
Rico silver in payment of goods at the
bank rate of exchange. But the con-
trary ruled in the majority Of in
stances. Prior to May about 5000, 900
pesos were in circulation on the island.
t. III a. a
amount of American currency should
aggregate about $500. 900. This amount
is considered insufficient to meet the
demands in mercantile circles during
the coming dull season. when the ISL
and is buying more than It sells.
To the United States Porto Rico Is a
new market. and the merchants here
have been unable to establish credit.
consequently the New York commits
sion houses demand cash payment for
purchases AS for several months to
come Porto Rico merchants VIII have
but little merchandise to send north in
payment, they are compelled to send
the actual currency. Drafts on New
York cannot be bought because Il is
said that Porto Rican bankers have no
funds in New York to draw against.

the island importing more than it ex-
ports.
The recent issue of 100000 in
paper by the Spanish bank will tend
TO relieve the situation. but as this
money cannot be circulated outside the
island its help will be slight This
new issue OF the Spanish bank is fast
getting into circulation. The bank
has authority from congress TO issue
$1,350,Oo0, or three times the amount
OF the paid in stock. The bills are
perhaps more convenient for handling
than the American bills, being smaller

eron, eriticising certain acts or sup
posed acts of mine. entirely escaped
my attention at the time of its appear

Gently occurred in Atlanta; and also
that II means a formal and public pro-
test by your association against nv ac-
ceptance of an invitation extended to
me by the Grand Army of the Republic
and by the executive committee of the
citizens of Chicago.
The object of this reply to your
resolution is not TO call in question the
right of your association to criticise
any official act of mine which does not

plainly, that my own conscience and
my own conception OF duty must be

say that ] must be judged now and

In conclusion, let it be definitely
understood that so long as Providence

continue the effort which have made
for 30 years in the interest OF sectional
harmony and unity. Whatever / can do
will assuredly be done for the truth of
history. for Justice to the south and 20
all sections for fostering our cherished
memories, for the obliteration of all
sectional bitterness and for the settle

the manhood and the self respect OF
