THE NOTE TO THE POWERS.
The President to Deal with 1t In Another
Communica ton.

ION munIcAtiOns
Washington, D. c., July 25.-Nego-
tiations between the United States and
China which have been proceeding act
lively for the last week were advanced
another stage when President McKin-
ley sent his reply to the royal letter
from the Empress of China which was
received last Friday. This appeal of
the Chinese imperial government has
been enormously described as request
for mediation. Instead of that it is a
circular note by the sovereign of China
addressed by name to the ruler of each
country having representative at
Pekin. 1t asks the foreign govern
ments to be considerate of China and
not take advantage of the imperial
government at time when it had been
threatened by rebellion. The royal
letter is rather a plea for mercy based
on the theory that the imperial gov
eminent has been doing the best it
could to put down the rebellion, and
has faithfully protected the foreign
representatives to the utmost of it's
ability. The answer of President Nc
Kinley is to the effect that China must
continue to protect the ENJOYS and
must not only protect them, but must
relieve them of all anxiety, by putting
down the rebellion in Pekin at once
and throughout the empire immediate
ly thereafter.
The President reminds the Empress
that the United States would not have
sent troops to China if it had not been
for the fear that Minister Conger, the
other members of the legation. and
some sixty officers and marines had
been cruelty murdered The Presi-
dent repeats that the Chinese govern
ment must show its good faith by pre-
serving the ENJOYS and by restoring
order completely in Pekin.
The imperial government is assured
by President Mckinley that the United
States has not been and will not be-
come party to any scheme for the
partition of China provided the pres
ent government is able to maintain
peace. There is a gentle reminder,
however, that a government which
cannot protect its diplomatic guests
and which permits armed uprisings d.
rected specifically against all foreign
ers cannot expect to receive the sup
mort If these same foreigners.

NEWS OF q 9
o THE COUNTY
Waterloo Items.

AS we do not see this section repre-
sented, thought few notes might be
acceptable.
Crops are looking well for all the
dry weather of May and June. Rasp-
berries have been quite plentiful and
the berries fine. Apples are not very
abundant-enough for home consump-
ton and some to spare. Many trees
that bore last year are barren this.
Potatoes, the early varieties, are few
in hill but of uniform size; the recent
rains will help the late potatoes to
make good crop. Peas will not be a
heavy crop on account of the dry
weather, but as the later ones are
blooming for the second time they
will make fair crop.
Our would-be candidate for county
treasurer is out on canvassing tour.
So ladies. trot out all your babies so
he may tell you how pretty they are
clocks Just like its mamma and he
will tell you that each dish of viands
you place before him is flne-'just
like mother used to make. Trust
him for getting on the good side OF
the ladies. He knows the balance of
influence is on their side if they can
not vote, so will bait his hook accord
ingly and trust to the ladies to put
now and then spoke in the wheel
that will count for him in November.

Endure Loss of Liberty.
Fort Sill. Aliz., July 25.-Geronimo,
the Apache chief, who is incarcerated
in the military prison here. has become
insane. Geronimo cost the government
a million dollars and hundreds of lives
before he was safely behind iron bars.
Deprived of his liberty he could not
stand the confinement For fourteen
years he has been prisoner of war.
For almost half century he led
band of bloodthirsty Apaches on the
path of war. To the early settlers of
the Southwest he was a terror. In
March, 1886, after four years of con-
slant chase, Gen. Miles and Maj.-G
Lawton cornered Geronimo in the Four
Peaks basin. near Prescott. Ariz. After
months OF starvation, and when hope
of cutting their way through the sur
rounding troops had gone. the Indians

rible War.
Shanghai, July PA sensation has
been caused here by a reported threat
made by Ii Hung Chang, that if the
powers attempt to advance upon Pekin
every white man in Pekin, if there is
any left, will be at once slaughtered.
The reported threat is couched in the
following words:
The members of the legations are
still alive, but an advance of the al
lied troops from Tien Tsin would pro-
badly be the death herald of every
white man in Pekin. Then the conser-
vative element would be entirely over
powered by the radicals"
Ii added that any attempt to parti-
ton China would result in a general
uprising throughout China against the
foreigners.

GLORY OF THE ARMY.
some of the Hollow Phrases Uttered
by Bourke Cochran At
Chicago.

As purveyor of nothings, Bourke
Cochran is second only to MIR. Bryan.
In a recent speech at Chicago he said:
The glory of American soldiers has
not been in the greatness, but in the
smallness of their numbers"
That sounds well in speech, but
what are the facts?
In the war Of 1912 we had SIS, 900 reg
ulars and All, 622 volunteers in the
field.
In the Mexican war we had 3o,e5A
regulars and 1916 volunteers.
The civil war called for over 1000, 900
men.
The Spanish war brought out an
army of 2i6,o29 men.
There is nothing small about these
figures. The glory of the American
army. at all times, has been its un-
fiinching courage, its high morale, its
devoted patriotism. Its recent record
in China is the last laurel which il has
won

President who would, admittedly
If he could, destroy the gold stand :

thai he has been bound, and that

feat, still have strength enough

better not to allow the man with
destructive tendencies so much as to
lean against its pillars. Perhaps it
will save you much trouble if | give

this extract from my Carnegie hall
speech:
When we have President who
believes that it is neither his right
nor his duty to see that the mail
trains are not INSTRUCTED, and
that interstate commerce has its free
way, irrespective of state lines, and
courts that fear to use their ancient
and familiar writs to restrain and
punish law breakers, free trade and
free silver will be appropriate &C
compartments of such an admins
tration and cannot add appreciably
to the national distress or the ma
tional dishonor.
The economic policies of the Re-
publican party have been indicated
by the remarkable and general pros
perity that has developed during
Mckinley s Administrations succeed
