TO HASTEN SETTLEMENT.

Member of the Foreign Office Explains
the French Plan.
PARIS, Oct. 3.-An official of the
French foreign Office has formally con-
firIned the accuracy. of the details Of
Frances note to the powers on the
Chinese question as telegraphed from
Vienna. A representative of the As.
sociated Press questioned the official re-
ferred to as to the causes actuating the
French minister of foreign affairs in
issuing the note. The official said:
I'M. Delcasse has been contemplating
this action for number of days.
France wan is peace and desires it ex-
peditiously. The minister is therefore
anxious to find middle course between
Russia and Germany which will meet
with the approval of all
'Germany's note, as understood
here, presents two propositions; one
the punishment of the guilty, the other
the peace proceedings. While some
people interpret it as meaning that the
first is an absolute condition prelim-
mary to the second. we see no reason
why the powers should not proceed
with the treaty preliminaries with
those appointed emissaries of the Chi
nese government at Peking, while the
armies seek out and punish Prince
Tuan and his guilty assistants. There
is no incompatibility which will not
permit the two actions from occurring
simultaneously"

Chaffee today that his chief desire was

he promised that the Chinese would not

POSITION OF THE POWERS.

England. Russia and France Approve
Americas Stand.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The align.
ment of the powers on the German
proposition to make the punishment OF
the Chinese ringleaders condition pre-
cedent to negotiations, may now be
stated as follows:
Great Britain, Russia and France
stand with the United States in regard
to this proposition as inexpedient. ia
pan occupies middle attitude. She is
willing to follow the German lead if
all the other powers are agreeable, but
only for the sake of preserving harmony
among the powers and from a belief in
the wisdom of the German proposition.
Austria and Italy stand shoulder to
shoulder with Germany, making the
dreibund a solid front. The first
named two powers do not attempt TO
argue the German proposition and their
answers make 1t apparent that they
Lave accepted it without much consld-
eratlon.
Nethlng is known here officially of
the alternative proposition which is
reported to be preparing in Europe. Ii
it contains the same feature as to prior
punishment as the original proposition
it is not likely to. receive approval here.
The likelihood that Secretary Hay is
expected to return to Washington next
week will not change in any way the
Policy of the state Department..
The secretary has been in the closest
sympathetic touch with all that has
been done respecting China and the
stories printed in Germany to the effect
that he is coming back to reverse those
policies is pronounced at the state de-
partment to be absurd. The officials
are impressed and have been from the
beginning with the conviction that any
attempt made to punish Prince Tuan
before negotiations are undertaken,
will absolutely defeat all efforts to OBJ.
tain peaceable and satisfactory set.
tlement. Indeed. it is believed that
the attempt Of Germany to apprehend
such Chinese officials at this stage has
actually been the cause of Prince Tuan' s
promotion, rather than anything con-
tanned in the American refusal of the
German proposition. It is pointed out
that an inevitable result Of such an eff.
fort would be to cause the Chinese of.
fcials against whom it was directed to
strive by every means in their power to
secure the support of the throne, just
as Tuan has in this case.

Message From Minister Conger For-
maliy Announces the Fact.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-The state de-
partment has received a dispatch from
Minister Conger announcing the de-
parture of the Russian legation from
Peking. Beyond this, there was little
additional bearing Oh the Chinese sit
uation.
1t was stated officially that the re-
ported French note to the powers re-
garding the opening OF negotiations
and the permanentsdis disarmament of the
Chinese had not been received. IL it
proves true that such note has been
sent, it is said that the propositions for
disarmament can hardly be considered
with favor by this government, owing
to the commercial standing and recog-
nized sovereign authority Of China as a
nation.

There is a world of thought for
farmers in the record of wheat and
wheat flour for the past three years
under the Republican administration
as compared with what it was when
the Democrats were in control. Good
seasons brought the bountiful crops, OF
course but good times, created by the
protective tariff, advanced prices at
home, increased the consumption and
thus enabled the farmer to sell his
surplus abroad for higher prices. The
record of exports of wheat and flour
in values is as follows:
