BRYAN WILL Be BUSY.
Letter of Acceptance to Writc and
Speeches to Deliver.
LALoR DAY YET AN OPEN DATE.
Declines TO Say whether He VIII
Tour the Country as He Did
During the Campaign
-Four Years Ago.

indianapolis, Aug. 9.-wlliam Jen7
nings Bryan, looking none the worse
for the trying ordeal through which he
has passed, came down town In a car
riage from Mayor raggart's home at
9:10 a. IN. Many people on the streets
recognized him as the carriage passed,
but he slipped into the Grand hotel
almost unnoticed. He did not get far
before he was surrounded by the
crowd lounging about the hotel lobby.
Although he had been the central fig
ure of rush of thousands of people
for over As hours. he was apparently
in better physical condition than u
majority of the men who greeted him.
He went through his usual handshak-.
ing.
Mr.. Bryan had nothing to say as to
what Influence the notification would
have on the Indiana voters. Asked IL
he did not regard the notification as
the opening OF the national campaign
for his party, he said that he did.
Discussing his plans for the imme-
diate future, he said: 81 have two
more notification speeches to make,
my letter of acceptance is yet to Issue,
a speech at the Grand Army encamp-
ulenI anu q SpSGSI A@HOSA
Day. don't know where shall speak
Labor Day. have promised to como
here for the meeting of the National
Association of Democratic clubs in
September and shall be present"
Mr.. Bryan objected when he was
asked il he would make another tour
of the country during the campaign as
he did in 1896.
"I don't believe in making ones
plans known so far ahead, There are
likely to be changes and the newspa-
pers go to figuring why promises are
not kept. have given you my plans
for month ahead, and you ought to
be satisfied at that"
Mr.. Bryan spent part of the morn
ing about tho lobby of the Grand hotel
with number of notables. who had
remained over to accompany him to
Chicago.
The Bryan party, including the Stew
ensons, NJ. j. Martin, sergeant-at-
arms, Governor Thomas of Colorado,
James d. Richardson of Tennessee
and several others left at 11:45 for
Chicago over the Big -Four. They had
q special car attached to the regular
train. The party was taken to the
station from the Grand hotel in car
riages. Mayor Taggart, who was act
ing as host, accompanied the party to
the station. A fair sized crowd con-
gregated to see them leave.

Infuriated Cow.

Lancaster, o., Aug. "a frightful
accident occurred on the farm of Ed
ward Baughers. A COW becoming in
furiated on being separated from it's
calf viciously attacked the little
daughter of Baugher, almost crushing
her to death. The mother rushed to
her rescue, and the animal turned on
her. crushing and bruising her in a
terrible manner. They were rescued
by Baugher, who heard their screams
from a distance. The COW had been
dehorned or they would have been
killed.

Many young man who goes
out into the world and achieves
measure of success, forgets the
humble home he left behind him.
Perhaps there is in that home
gray haired father and mother who,
as they sit before the large open
fireplace talk of their son and are
proud of his success, yet long for
letter from him. The son, busy
with the affairs of life and sur-
rounded by the comforts of life,
neglects from day to day to write
or send any token of affection. Fi-

these gray haired watchers has
passed beyond, and then he feels
how he has neglected them, and

his heart, but it is too late. Mo S

Moving on Ynng Tsmn.

General Chaffees dispatch shows
another important feature of the plan
of campaign agreed upon by the inter-
notional commanders. 1t is that the
present objective point of the column
is Yang Tsun, town about 10 miles
beyond Pietsang, where the railroad
crosses the Pei river from the right on
the way to Peking. Once in posses
sion of this point, the international
force would have both the railroad
and river in it's rear for keeping open
communication with Tien Tsin. 1t
naturally would become the advance
base from which operations on Peking
could be projected.
The Chinese evidently are so much
impressed with the strategic adVant-
ages of Yang Tsun as the internation-
al commanders themselves, as the emo.
my Is reported 10000 strong at the
crossing of the road over the Pei
river without doubt after the fight
at Peitsang the Chinese force, IL the
report of Admiral Remey that the Chi
nese were forced to retreat proves
correct, retired to Yang Tsun. There
is no information as to the number of
the enemy which met the advance at
Peitsang, but judging from the casual.
ties to the international force, it must
have been large and may perhaps
double the Chinese army which the
column must encounter when it reach
es Yang Tsun.
The general feeling at the war de
partment is that unless the Chinese
generals have been completely demor-
allied by the Peitsang attack, there is
very severe fighting ahead for the in
ternational forces and that the ground
will be disputed all the way to Peking.

tality are confirmed by Rev. Frank
Haynes, Methodist missionary.
Prof clifford, who was one of the
last to leave the besieged city says:
"Looting by the allied forces began as
soon as they got the upper hand. The
Russians led in this and went to eX-
tremes. They are naturally cruel and
expecting no mercy. they showed none.

it is hoped, two routes of transporta-

"Out from Tien Tsin, along the Pei

through the villages destroying life
and property. The Russians also drove
women and children into the Pei-Ho

drowned. There was no attempt at

Note to China.

patch sent to the Chinese government
through Minister Wu is not in the
form of an ultimatum. 1t insists, how
ever, that the firing on the legations
cease; that the imperial government,
il it desires to show it's friendliness
shall corporate with the relieving col
umn. In this matter the government
has proceeded on the assumption that
the imperial government is willing to
do all it can to aid and relieve the
ministers.
The letter is practically demand
for complete compliance with the
terms of the letter of the president to
the emperor of China sent July 23.
1t acknowledges the receipt of the
edIet allowing free communication
with the ministers and virtually serves
a notice on the imperial authorities
that their good faith in issuing 1t is to
be tested by a cipher dispatch which
has been sent to Minister Conger. The
strongest part of the note is embraced
in the demand for the immediate and
complete cessation of the attack OF the
imperial troops upon the legations.
The note is not at all helllcose in
tone and it's temper is generally COM
mended as the best method of using
the professed friendship of the imper-
ial authorities to save the legationers.
The demand for the immediate cessa-
tion of the attacks on the legations is
stern and emphatic, but the word de
mand" gives way to "urge." 1t Is
pointed out that while we have tho
undoubted right to demand that the
firing on our diplomatic representa-
tives cease, to do more than advise
and urge the Chinese government to
cooperate with the forces of the pow
ers for the relief of the ministers and
the restoration of order might possi-
bly, be deemed presumptious and of
fensiYe.
Good Results Expected.
The authorities here are very hope
full that their moderation will carry
weight as it will AFFORD the Chinese
government an opportunity to comply
without SEEMING to yield to demand.
Although the note was delivered to
Minister Wu Wednesday evening it
had not been forwarded to the Chinese
government at 10 a. m. The laborious
work of translatIng it into precise Chi
nese and then of putting it into the
complicated cipher which the Chinese
employ, was responsible for the delay.
The minister and his assistants had
been at work almost continuously
since it was received, but up to the
hour named, had not finished putting
1t in cipher. 1t was expected, how
ever, that 1t would go forward within
q few hours.
