Washington, September 19.-The
first definite determination to begin
peace negotiations with China seems
to have been reached by the French
and Russian governments, which have
made known their purposes to proceed
with negotiations with Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching, as soon as feasible.
This doubtless will have an important
influence on the present negotiations,
which are hinging to a considerable
extent on the opening of peace nego-
uations. Within the last few days
the United States minister at Paris,
General Horace Porter, has been seen
frequently at the office of the French

BRYAN'S REPLY TO HANNA
The Conditions Under Which He VIII
Meet the Latter i'm Joint Debate

Leavenworth, Kans. September 10
"A special train over the Missouri Pa
cific bore Mr.. Bryan out of Kansas
City today. The change from the reg
ular coaches, with their accompany-
ing crowds and handshaking was evil
IDENTIFY most welcome to the presiden-
tlal candidate, for although he has
made no complaint it has been ey;-
dent that the strain of the past few
days, with no opportunity for rest or
retirement, has had. no agreeable eff
feet upon him. This is the last of the
three days Kansas-Missouri border
tour.
The first stop was made at this his
toric city. Mr.. Byan spoke for half
an hour from the rear platform.
MIR. Bryan'S attention was called to
a speech made at Delphi, Ind, by Sen
ator Hanna, chairman of the republi-
can national committee, in which the
senator was quoted as saying that he
was ready to debate ''ImperiaIism''
with Mr.. Bryan or any other demo-
crat"
In reply to the question whether he
would accept a challenge from Mr.
Hanna Mr.. Bryan said:
Il know nothing of the matter ex-
cept what appears in the papers No
chalienge has been received and I
would not accept il if it were. While
would be gad to debate public queS-
tlonS with the republican candidate
for the presidency, 1 would not be will
ing to debate with one whose reSpon-
sfbi!-ty is less than my own. If 1 am
elec ID I shall he president. If the re-
pub lean committee will certify that
Mr. Hanna is to be president in case
OF = publican success / shall willingly
mec; him In joint debate
Ar. Bryan was also asked if he had
anything to say in reply to Mr.. Han
mas charge that he was Influenced by
sinister motives in securing the rati-
hcation of the treaty with Spain. To
this he replied:
/ have given my reasons for beliey-
ing 1T better to ratify the treaty and
declare the nations policy by resolu-
tlon, and the voters have an opportu-
nifty to pass judgment upon my reas-
ons- l must confess, however, that
Mr.. Hanna Is an expert when he dis
cusses sinister motives but I can stand
his criticism if Senator Hoar can en-
dure his praise"
In his address Mr.. Bryan referred to
a report Of a recent speech made by
Senator Hanna, and said:
II read in thA morning papers a
speech made by Mr.. Hanna yesterday
in which he saii there are no tr-a;s.
When i used to want humorous read
