The rafting 2:40 pace at which they

after a flying leap over a stone of unusu-

GERMANY WAITING,
To See What Answer United States
VIII Make.

Berlin, August 2I.-Referring to Ii
Hung Changes latest req uest to Washing
ton for mediation, a high official of the
German foreign office said to the corre-
spandent of the Associated Press today:
Germany is waiting to see what an
swer the United States will make. If
Washing ton is convinced that Earl LII
represents any responsible Chinese gov
ernment, it could Of course undertake a
mediatory role for the establishment of
peace, but Germany Is confident that, in
any case, the United States VIII not sepa-
rate themselves from the concert powers
Asked it China now offered a satlsfac-
tory indemnity fer the murder of Baron
Won KeteIer, the German minister,
whether Germany would be willing to
make peace, the official replied
MATTERS have not yet advanced far
enough to go into that, but there is no
question Of territorial conquest or 1nf1ict-
Ing heavy blows, but merely Of the re.
establishment of orderly conditions in
China
The German papers are discussing
what is to be done next The Vossische
Zeitung asserts that Germany will not
go beyond other powers in demanding
expiation for wrongs done, but will GO
as far as the rest Tt says that the de-
mand for satisfaction must not degene-
rate into brutal CRY for vengeance.
The Vorwaerts, the Socialist organ,
sharply blames theFgovernment for refus-
ing all information concerning its future
policy in China.
The Berliner Post maintains that il
is premature to think that diplomatic
negotiations alone are now sufficient tC
secure satisfaction Tor the murders and
guarantees for the future.

ON EAST WALL OF PERM.
American and Russian Flags Were
Planted at II O'Clock August H.

American and Russian Flags Were
Planted at II O'Clock August IA.
Copyright 1900 by the Associated Press
Pekin, August IA, via Che Foo, August
21.-The American and Russian flags
were planted on the east wall Of Pekin
at eleven clock this morning. The In
dian troops entered the British legation
at one and the Americans at three.
There was a joyful reception from them
all. The emaciated tenants could have
lasted but little longer. They had only
three days rations. The Chineahad been
attacking furiously for two days. Four
thousand shells fell in the legation dur
ing the siege. Sixty Live were killed and
100 wounded.
The Japanese began the battle before
daylight and they are still lighting about
the north wall where q part of the Chi
nese are defending the imperial city. The
japanese casualties have not yet been
ascertained. The Russians had five killed
and II wounded. The Americans and
British had few wounded.
The plan was to make a general attack
tomorrow and the troops were arriving
at camp five miles east all night They
were completely exhausted and slept in
the cornfelds in the rain, The generals,
however, alarmed at the sounds of heavy
attack on the legations, pushed forward
1ndep endently, the British, Americans
and French on the left Of the river and
the Russians and Japanese on the right.
Beg inning at TWO O'Clock this morning
the japanese diverted the brunt of the
resistance to the northern city, their
artillery engaging the Chinese heavily
there The Americans and British met
with but little resistance until they
entered the city where there was street
fighting Reilly's battery attempted to
breach the inner wall. The troops finally
entered the foreign settlement through
the canal,
Company E, fourteenth United States
infantry, planted it's flag on the outer
wall, Musician Titus scaling the wall with
a rope, by means Of which the others
climbed to the top The Chinese had
continually violated the armistice.
The food supplies sent to the legations
by the Empress DoWager were sufficient

Appeals to Supporters Of 's6 to
Stand by Him.
No Reason Why They
Sho uldn't, He Says.
Addresses a Large Audience at
WahOO, Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb., August 21.-Mr. Bryan
addressed a large audience of Saunders
county people at Wahoo, today. The
speech was an appeal to Republicans to
vote the Democratic ticket. Giving his
reasons for this appeal, Mr.. Bryan said:
81 want to talk to you Republicans
believing that you are just as anxious to
help your country and help your fellows
by your vote as the Democrats the Popu-
lists and the Silver Republicans are.
"Now, if you were with US in 1896,
there is no reason why you should be
against us now unless the new questions
you have changed your opinion on the
old questions.
''The Republican party is trying today
the same deception that it practiced in
'96. on the money question:
At this point some one in The rear Of
the crowd shouted: ''Hurrah for McKin-
ley" to which Mr.. Bryan promptly re-
sponded:
Nov don't know whether that man
is hurrahing for the Mckinley that de-
nounced Grover Cleveland, or the one fol-
lowing closely in Cleveland's footsteps. I
want to assure you that do not object
to any one cheering for Mckinley, but /
think that you owe it to the audience to
describe which Mckinley your are cheer
Ing for when you are cheering"
Speaking of trusts, he said:
''The Republican party is trying today
the very same policy on these other
!
ton In '96. They attack the trust ques-
ton in their platform and yet you cannot
find Republican paper and read it with.
out finding a def ense of the trusts.
cit is only little more than two years
ago that the President sent a message tc
Congress IN which he said that forcibls
annexation is contrary to our code OF
/ morality and criminal aggression, and yet
today Republicans are asked to approve
of thing that was denounced as crimi.
nal aggression and against our code Of
morality less than two years ago.
The remainder of Mr.. Bryan's speech
was devoted to the policy Of the admin
istration in the Philippines. One of his
points on this subject was made as fol.
lows:
''When Mr.. McKinloy spoke in Boston
a year ago last February he said that nc
sordid doctrine entered into the Philip
pine question, but that it was just desti-
ny and duty, and yet when Senator
Lodge came from Boston to preside as
chairman over the Republican conven.
ton, he made a speech in which he said
that the Republican party made no hypo
} critical pretences, but that what we want

MISS FOsBURG's MURDERER.

Pittsheld, Mass, August 21.-The
search for the burglars who killed Miss
May Fosburg, daughter OF a Buffalo con
tractor, at the Pitsstield residence of the
family, extended today to practically the
whole Of Berkshire county. While great
many tramps and uncouth looking stran-
gers have been detained by the police
there is no reason to believe that any of
them was concerned in the Fosburg bur
glary.
This morning the mayor in behalf Of
the city announced that reward of $500
would be paid for Information which
would lead to the apprehension Of the
three burglars, or $500 for the capture OF
any one OF them. About 1900 men werl
out the greater part of the night, PATROL
ing the country roads and mountains 0
the outlying districts.
At dark, although without much hop
of success, the army of men who hare
covered every inch OF territory within
radius OF many miles of this city, wer
securing the woods and by-paths, Will
every road was guarded so that at TIL
time there can be no possibility of escaT
for the murderers If they are still in thi
part of the country. There viii be n
