Ihe present conflict between China
ana the foreign powers had it's origin
IN IN the long-standing antagonism between
the people and Christian missions. The
SUBSEQUENT fall of the Taku forts precip-
Lated the meeting of force with force.
Ihe imperial government, having due re-
gard TO the Importance of international
intercourse, $til refused to go so far as
to interrupt the existing relations We
have already repeatedly issued DEGREES
providing for the protection of the for
elgn legations, and also commanded the
provlncinal authorities to protect mis-
S1onarles. Inasmuch as there is still no
cessation in the employment of force
foreign merchants and subjects residing
IN IN emma, who form numerous body in
Ine- country, should be protected without
m TmistIhcpon. We hereby command all the
tartar generals, governors general and
governors of provinces to look after the
foreign merchants and missionaries liy-
ing in the open ports, prefectures, de-
partments and districts under their re-
spectiVe Jurisdiction and to afford them

stlpulations, without fail Last month
we heard, with profound astonishment
and regret, of the killing of the chan
cellor of the Japanese, Mr. Aktr, and the
same fate befell the German minister
shortly afterward. The violent removal
or the German minister, whose resiGgnce
at TIE capital was necessary to the trans
actlon of business between the two coun-
tIles, affected US very deeply 1t is the
duty OF the authorities concerned to cause
stringent orders for the speedy arrest
and punishment of the murderers to be
carried out.
since the commencement of the attack
IN Tien Tsin, there are foreign subjects
and missionaries who have on account of
local disturbances, suffered death or loss
or property through no fault Of their
own; we hereby command the governor
of Pekin and the viceroy of Chih Ii TO
cause Investigations to be made bv Their
respective subordinates of all such
claims, except those arising directly from
the said attack, with a view to their
ultimate settlement.
Moreover, local outlaws and rebellious
SUBJECTS have given themselves UP to
burning, killing and plundering, to the
great disquiet of our loyal subjects This
is an utter defiance OF law. We hereby
command the said governors general

Chief Grain Inspector Reishus, of St.
Paul, is in the city for visit with K. P.
Brown. In talking over the Democratic
situation throughout the state Mr.. Rel
shus had the following to say:
I'm regard to John Lind, our present
governor, 1 may say that he is today a
great deal more popular than ever. He
has made a good governor, he has been
conservative and careful, and his admin
istration has been one that has proved
satisfactory to every one. In my mind
there will not be the slightest doubt of his
election If he will accept the nomina tion
and 1 believe he viii consider it his duty
to his party to again run.
Bryan on the national ticket will give
Mckinley very close rub in Minnesota
Wisconsin and Michigan, and 1 should
not be surprised if he should carry some
of these states, formerly Republican
strongholds.
II place a great deal of dependence on
the German vote of the country Carl
Schurz, their acknowledged leader, win
support the ticket. This will mean that
the German vote throughout the country
will go for Bryan.
"The prospects just at present are
very bright for Bryan. 1 expect a hot
fight at the polls this fall"

But the future OF Americas young
manhood is limited by Republican prin-
clple to either military seryitude on dis
tant fields of doubtful glory, or to a life
time Of useless struggle against the kill

The sincerity of the Republican doctrines,
favoring the prepa CATION of freedom and
the uplifting of humanity in other lands,
IS revealed by the contradictory attitude
OF the present administration toward the
Philippines on the one hand and the
Beers of South Africa on the other-a
war OF criminal aggression against the
former in the name of freedom, silent
and covering in the shadow of England s
throne, while a sister republic dies away
in its own blood
The questions of the present cam

alone can guide the nations prosperity.

Offenders and restoration of order as the

by command this, our general edict to
all it may concern. Respect this"
A significant statement in the above
edict is noted in that passage which di-
rects the investigation of all claims "ex-
cert those arising directly from the said
attack (attack on Tien Tsin) with a
view to their ultimate settlement"
This appears to make plain not only
that the Chinese government will settle
claims for actual losses, but that it has
now formally decreed an exception of
those claims arising directly from the
attack on Tfen Tsin. 1t seems to tndi-
cate that the Chinese government holds
that the attack on Tien Tsin was unWar-
