territory of total destruction east of that

BRYAN IN HIS OLD DISTRICT.
He Tells Voters That His Party Has
Not Changed Since 1896.


WEEPING WATER, Neb., Sept H.-
Hon. w. ]. Bryan to-day conducted his
canvass of his old congressional district
At Syracuse, in Otoe county, he spoke to Il
largesassemblage. He spoke here to-nigh,
in a large grove, and Notwithstanding il IS
a Republican community, he had a large
and attentive audience. The speech de-
iivered here tonight was addressed mainly
to Republicans and was an appeal to them
to consider the new questions presented
in the campaign without regard to past
party Affiliations or prejudice. He paid
special attention TO the increase of the
army and the Philippine question.
In his speech at Syracuse Mr. Bryan
announced that in his address at Nebra ska
City next Wednesday evening he would dis
cuss the trust question, because of the
presence there OF the starch combination
He said the Democrats believed as much
In tariff reform as they had I'm 1892: as
much in the free coinage OF silver as they
had in 1896, but neither of these was the
issue of supreme Importance now Refer
ring TO the trust Mr.. Bryan said: Every
body except Mr.. Hanna knows that we
have trusts. Mr.. Hanna made a speecn
the other day In which he said he did
not believe there is a trust in the United
States. / think he is the only man in the
country who says he does not know there

a man In the country who knows more
about the trusts than he does or knows
better their names and places of business. >

RUSSIA UNDER SUSPICION
OF HAVING A CLOSE UNDERSTAND.
ING WITH THE CHINESE.

LONDON, Sept. %, a. NIT seems to
be generally believed throughout Europe
that Germany purposely proposed her de-
mand that the anti-foreign leaders should
be surrendered before negotiations were
commenced. with a view of delaying any
general acceptance of her proposal until
Field Marshal Count Won waldersee should
arrive at Picking. A dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph from Washington asserts that
the United States government has politely
declined TO agree 10 Germanys proposal
on this very ground. In any event with
Count Won Waldersee journeying north
ward and Ii Hung Chang conducting nego-
tiations from Tien-Tsin. matters must soon
reach crisis. The manner of Earl LIS
reception seems TO confirm the suspicious
existing in Shanghai regarding his close
understanding with Russia. About four
thousand Russian troops and all the prin-
cipal Russian officers met him at Chung
Liang-Chen, half way TO Tien-Tsin. A
long conference was held, at which no rep
resentativc OF any other power was pres
ent. This remarkable friendship exists at
time when two continents are ringing
with the story of massacres by the Rus
slams in Amur.
Ii Hung Chang. according 10 Shanghai
dispatches. assumed the seals OF the vice.
royalty of Chilli yesterday. His officers
are busy raising s000 foreign drilled men
and well-armed veterans who are now en-
camped at Yang-Chow and will proceed TO
Tien-Tsin as Earl LIS bodyguard under
command Of Chang Kao Yung. who was
the Chinese general at kiao-Chou when the
Germans seized that place.
1t is reported that Liu Kun vi. vieeroy
of Marking, alarmed at the prospects Of
the German fleet ascending the Yang-Tse
Kiang, is placing obstructions I'm the chan
mel below the kiang-Yin forts and sending
troops TO the northeast of Kiang-Su for
fear the Germans may land troops there to
attack Using -Kiang-Fu.
The Shanghai correspondent of the Morn
ing Post expresses the opinion that Ger
many's policy may yet lead to rising in
central China.
The STANDARD has a Taku telegram as
serting that as a means of averting pun
ishment the acting governor OF Pao-Ting-
fu mas posted a proclamation ordering the
suppression OF the Boxers.
The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
News cites the opinion of a high foreign
Official that the Emperor and Empress
dowager will, under the pressure exerted
by the viceroys. surrender Prince Tuan
and the other anti-foreisn leaders to the
powers.

senting an annual output of 70,000000 tons
OF bituminous coal In western Pennsylva-

other similar ones IN the States west of the

their earnings aggregating S12 900, 900 in one

of a strike for one full year at the end of
which time they will again meet in joint
conference TO renew the contract and make
such changes in the wages paid as are
justified and warranted by the cost of pro-

method of averting strikes and turmoils

to which each is properly entitled.
A PROPOSITION.
"But because / am aware that there is

not ask to be recognized or consulted by
the mine owners If the officers or repre-
sentatives of these great railroad COM
panies will do what they have many times
said they would do. meet committees of
their own employees and come to a peace
ful agreement. Provided, however. that
such conferences between the various
companies and committees representing
their own employees will meet In separate
Tails in the same city and on the same
Qate.
This provision is inserted because here
tofore when committees presented griev-
ances to any of these great companies, they
were invariably met with the argument
that the company could not remedy the
wrongs complained of because competing
companies enforced conditions of employ
ment not more Favorable to the mine work.
