by this nation meets with prompt and
effective encoura cement from Europe.
Lincoln pointed TO the interest which
European nations have in the abandon
ment here of the doctrine of equal
rights. He said:
The principles of Jefferson are the
definition and axioms of free society.
And yet they are denied and evaded with
no small show of success. One dashingly
calls them 'glittering generalities. An
other bluntly calls them 'self-evident
lies And others insidiously argue that
they apply to superior races These ex-
pressions, differing in form, are identical
in object and effect-the supplanting the
principles of free government and re-
storing those of classification, caste and
legitimacy. They would delight a convo-
cation of crowned heads plotting against
the people. They are the vanguards, the
miners and sappers of returning despo-
tism. We must repulse them or they win
subjugate u.s.
"Our opponents say that the world
would laugh at us if we should give in
dependence to the Filipinos. Yes, kings
would laugh, aristocrats would laugh, and
those would laugh who deny the in
alienable rights of men and despise the
humber folk who along the cool Sc
questered vale of life, keep the noise
less tenor of their way but let this ma
ton stand erect, and spurning the brides
of wealth and power, show that there is
reality in the principles which we pro-
fess; let it show that there is differ
ence between a republic and monarchy
and the oppressed in every land will see
in our flag the hope Of their own de-
liverance, and whether they are bleeding
upon the battlefield or grooming beneath
a tyrant's lash, will raise their eyes to-
ward Heaven and breathe fervent pray
err for the safety of our Republic

Captain Hecht reached Matu this

was difficult, owing to the force of the

FLAMES BURST OUT IN PEKlN.
Buildings Believed to be Fired by the Chinese.
Street Fighting.

London, August 24.-(Friday, $3.50 a.
m.)-Fires, fighting and dissension are
apparently following in the wake of the
relief Of Pekin. The Daily Mail publishes
dispatches from the Chinese capital dated
as late as August 18th, declaring that a
great fire was then raging in the Imperial
City. The Russian commander had declin-
ed to accept the decision of the other gen.
erals not to violate the imperial pre-
cincts and street fighting was going on.
General Chaffee-so it is asserted
maintained that the Chinese had been
adequately punished already and that
if would be unwise to take the Imperial
palace. This explains the withdrawal OF
the Americans after preaching three
gates. as cabled by the special cores
pondent of the Associated Press. The
Russian general maintained that his Gov
eminent had declared war against China
and that therefore there was no
reason to prevent him carrying hostili-
ties into the sacred precincts. Judging
from various, and, in many cases CONTRA
dictory dispatches that have reached
Europe this morning from Pekin the
commanders eventually adopted middle
course, for a Reuter- telegram asserts
that sentries were placed to prevent loot
ing. Hence it is presumed that the i'm
perial buildings, although captured will
not be destroyed
The fires appear to be incendiary and
to be caused by the Chinese themselves.
All the dispatches point to the fact
that when the latest message received.
here left Pekin, the commanders were
somewhat at sea regarding their future
action, all waiting instructions from their
governments.
The foreign residents appear to have
been sent to Tien Tsin, although the st.
Petersburg correspondent of the Daily
Mail says the Ministers will not leave Pc
kin until negotiations for indemnity are
under way
Neither the commanders nor the diplo-
mats were in communication with the
Chinese Government on August 18th.
They were then searching for Prince
Tuan.

made that the rolls ten years ago were
padded. 1t is claimed that old hotel reg

swelling the population of the city at
that time
