brief conference concerning it, Half an hour
later Mr. de Wollant, the Russian CHARGE DAT
faires. arrived at the State Department and
handed TO Mr. Hay note expressing approval
of the propositions just submitted by France.
Mr. Hay gave formal answer to the two
communications they will first go 10 the
President at Canton
The impression here, in advance of action on
these propositions by this Government is that
they contain nothing essentially uniting them
TO be subjects of consideration in final settle
ment The difficulty which is likely to arise
lies In the placing of proper limitations on the
scope Of each head. This is particularly true Of
the subject of guarantees and, perhaps of that
Of indemnity. Still, already suggested each
is undoubtedly a proper subject for discussion
when the final negotiations reached. and
therefore NJ. 'Delcasses propositions while likely
to consume some tima in reducing them to ultl-
mate and binding form, may be said to have
fair reception awaiting them.
AS to the interdiction of arms, the State De-
partment already has intimated that there may
be question as to it's wisdom. and there is rea-
son to believe, also, that Germany will not view
that feature with approval But there appears
to be good reason to expect that a middle ground
will be reached by confining the lnterdlctlon OF
arms to q specified period, possibly to be hXed
by the time required by China within which to
pay the indemnity. The chief objection to the
proposition is that it is permanent in its present
form.
What the United States Government particu-
larly desires to avoid is entering into pro-
gramme that leans in any manner toward the
maintenance of a foothold on Chinese soil, and II
the other propositions relative to the matnte-
nance Of a line of free and safe communication
between Pekng and the sea and to the lega-
tion guards be modified in the direction OF
temporary expedients they will be more likely
TO receive the support Of this Government. 1t is
apparent from the compexity of the latest
Franco Russian proposal that the phase of ne
gotations thus initiated will take some time to
dispose of.

CROKER PLANSA BIG HURR4H
CAMPAIGN OF NOISE To BEGIN WITH
BRYANS COMING AND KEEP

Richard Croker has sent out word to every
Tammany district leader and 10 every worker
that Tammany can reach that beginning on the
night of October 16. when four enormous mass
meetings will be held in this city. at each of
which William ]. Bryan will speak, a campaign
must be kept UP which for excitement, noise and
uproar has never been equaIled anywhere in the
country. Mr. Croker is preparing to have pende-
monium break loose in the city for the last two
weeks OF the campaign, and there will be no let
up. Every hour Tammany will be in the field
win olare OF trumpetS, a burst of fireworks. A
torrent Of oratory and unceasing din and
hubbuh.
Tammany has hired every available vacant
nail from the Battery TO Harlem for every even
ing from October 16 to Election Day Hundreds
OF speakers are being drilled and prepared for
these meetings. Great quantities of fireworks
ana red hre have been contracted for. Two
hundred huge searchlights and stereopticons
nave been obtained. Every big building uptown
VIII De swept by searChlghts and plaStered with
Iammany notices by sJereOpticons. Five hun
dred young orators will be turned loose to speak
from platforms, cart tails and stands on street
corners. District leaders Will be warned that
tney must not show the slightest sign of cessa-
ton.
No brass bands will be paid for by the main
organization, except at the big meetings. If
there are brass bands district meetings the
district leaders must pay for them out Of their
own pockets. Fireworks are also for the big
meetings alone. There will be no torchlight
parades fostered by the main organization, but
doubtless there will he many district leaders
who will arrange for parades of their own.

contemplated withdrawal Of a large part of the
United States troops in North China. We feel
that the work Of the allied armies is far from

lean Government TO take its part therein is sure
to be regarded as an unworthy act by the allies,
and a sign of Indifference by the Chinese.
We urge our Government to carry to an end the

the protection of American mercantile and mis-
sionary interests until settlement of the pres
