S7EYeN00N'S LETTER.

The Inter Mountain calls special atten-
ton to the letter of A. M. Stevenson,
schairmban Of the Teller silver Republican
state central committee of Colorado, in
which he resigns his position and. an
ounces himself hereafter a republican.
Mr.. Stevenson was easily the leading
advocate of silver republicanisms in the
Centennial state, but when some Of his
associates abandoned every principle of
the faith except one and became free
trade anti-expansion anti-progressive
democrats, he thought it was time to
quit. Being a patriot Inc a firm believer
in an American foreign policy all over
the world and favoring the defense Of
the flag wherever it r~ightfully floats, Mr..
Stevenson sees but one honorable course
and takes it. His letter is much like
that of Mr.. Mantle of the Montana COM
mittee. The silver republicans of Col
orado, like those of Montana, are going
back to the old party almost to j man.
In Wyoming there are no silver repub-
licans left. In Utah the organization has
been disbanded by common consent. In
Idaho, the only sivler republicans are the
personal followers of az Senate Dubois.
In Nevada the silver party has prac-
tically ceased to exist and it's former
chief, Senator William M. Stewart, once
chief of the free coinage forces In the ma
ton, has only this week come out for
Mckinley, prosperity and expansion.

ScHURZ AND COCHRAN.

A great ado is being made because Carl
Schurz n Bourke Cochran have an
nounced themselves for Bryan and Bry-
anism. Four years ago Schurz in a bitter
speech declared that Bryan's election
would be at the cost Of:
The most violent and destructive crisis
on record, and worse than this, at the
price of something that has never been
for the preservation of which 1t should
shed it's last drop of bIood-at the price
of national honor.
A few days g Bourke Cochran, when
told that Bryan too for Silver, denied
it ~emphatically M said:
Even if the people raised MI. Bryan
to the presidency in November the demo-
cratic party cannot possibly achieve any
power of legislation during the existence
of the next congress-, and without legis-
lative sanction no change in TIE stand
ard OF value, no reorganization OF the
supreme court, no modification whatever
of our financial, industrial or political
systems could be accomplished.
Cockran's return to the party n is
plainly because he believes that the party
can do no mischief, no because he would
trust it for a moment if it could carry
out it's threats.

of the party a movement has been start
ed having for its object a split in the

ALARMING NEWS FROM CHINA
Germany las Information of an In
tended Genera Uprising Against
Foreigners.

Berlin, September 25.-Alarming
news from China has reached the Ger
man government; but it will not be
published now, as Germany intends to
use it during the conferences in Pekin.
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
has cabled to Emperor William d.
rect that he has found the general sit
uation much more dangerous than he
had expected, as it has grown worse
during the last fortnight, and the con-
suls in central and southern China are
expecting a general uprising.
Advices from Mumm Won Schwartz
enStein, the German minister in China,
are of a similar tenor. Rear Admiral
Won Bendemann has repeatedly cabled
that the situation along the Yang Use
Kiang is very critical Inc also express
ing fears concerning the safety of Kiao
Chou.
The German foreign office has re-
ceived official information of the ap-
pointment of Prince Tuan as grand
secretary. In reply to an inquiry as to
whether this indicated a serious turn
of affairs. a high official of the foreign
office said: Undoubtedly it does for
those powers that want to begin peace
negotiations. The appointment means
that Tuan is now at the helm and
shows to what lengths the Chinese gov
eminent will go in defying the pow
eN."
The official added that Germany feels
absolutely No bitterness Over the an
swer Of the United States, although
she regrets it as embodying a mistaken
policy toward China There has been
no further exchange of views on the
subject between Berlin and Washing
ton since the reception Of the Ameri-
cna reply.
DIR. Mumm Won Schwartzenstein will
go to Tien Tsin tomorrow. The report
is confirmed here that Germany has
| assured Lord Salisbury that she is not
OPPOSED to the empress retaining pow

control Of the powers, thereby preserv-

become paupers, but may speedily set
