SALISBURY AND CH0ATE.
Their Conference Shows the Two
Nations Are Agreed.

London. June 25.-The Associated Press
learns that Lord Salisbury is still hopeful
tha. the Chinese crisis will be solved with
ou, war against that country a whole.
1t spite of the alarming reports, he IN
clines TO the belief that the Government of
China in some satisfactory form will short
Iy be able TO reassert Itself. He does not
mean that he be!ittles the professions of
the various viceroys who have given notice
OF their willingness to cooperate with the
united forces. Without committing himself
TO definite view Of the future. he ap-
pears averse TO any scheme of territorial in
demnity which. when order is restored.
might be suggested by the Powers who have
suffered during the uprising.
The Interview of the United States AM
bassador. Mr.. Joseph II. Choate, with Lord
Salisbury. Saturday. was due to instruc-
tions received from Secretary Hay. in
which the Ambassador was notified OF the
friendly professions of the various Viceroys
and was instructed to secure Lord Sails
bUry's views.
The conference may he said TO have not
elected a single point on which Lord Sails
bury differed from the American attitude
and. while he expressed his determination
to use every endeavor to restore order in
the Pei-Ho Valley and eXtricate the diplo-
mats. his estimate OF the situation was
tinged with n spirit Of hopefulness that
contrasted greatly with the general tone
OF the British press.
II Russia, Japan or any other Power has
an ulterior object in making capital out of
the trouble In China. Lord Salisbury does
not appear TO be aware Of It,

SULTAN SAYS HE'LL SETTLE.
To Pay American Indemnity Claim
Within Few Months.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, June 2S.-Turkey has reiter-
ated her promise to settle the missionary
claims which the United States Government
is pressing her to pay and this time has in
dicated that she will transmit the money
within the next three or four months The
indefiniteness Of this is unsatisfactory to
the President and Secretary Hay. and their
dissatisfaction has been made known TO the
Sublime Porte through Mr.. Grtscom. the
Charge d'Affaires of this Government. who
yesterday presented a note to the Turkish
Minister for Foreign Affairs demanding
that a date be specified when payment will
be made.
A belief had prevailed in diplomatic cir
cles that the acute situation in China would
cause the administration to forego pressing
Turkey to settle the missionary claims. but
the temper OF the authorities is against the
abandonment of its present policy. The ad-
ministration appreciates the danger tina, IT
will be charged during the campaign with
failure to pay proper attention to mission
ary affairs and 1t proposes to prevent any
such charge being made by taking strong
measures for the collection of the claims
pending against Turkey and the protection
Of American missionaries in China.
The cruiser Albany has left SOUTHAMPTON

MADDEN HAD A HAND IN 1T.
He Changed Nicaragua" to "Isth.
mian' in the Canal Plank.

Chicago. June 25.-Martin B. Madden of
Chicago, who was a member of the Com
mittee on Resolutions at the Philadelphia
convention. said that he was the man. and
not Lemuel E Quigg, who substituted the
word "Isthmian' for the word ..Nicara-
gua' In the Republican national platform
Mr.. Madden frankly says that he alone is
responsible for the change in the caraI
plank. and does so in justice to Mr. Quigg,
another member of the Committee on Reso-
iutions. who has been charged with elm
mating the specific term Nicaragua"
This disposes of the story that Mr. Qugg
was given $500 to change the term SO as
to avoid binding the party to further the
interests OF the syndicate that is interest
ed in having the canal built along the Mic
aragua route. As the plank now reads. the
party Is not bound to stand for this roure
but can approve the Panama route or any
other that seems more advisable Cam
paign contributions from both rival syndi-
Gates are now possible.

WILLIAM BECKER RETURNS.

William Becker Of No. 1920 Hickory street.
this city, was in st. Charles yesterday at
the time when his cousin, Benjamin +.
Becker, committed suicide, returning 10 81.
Louis in the evening. He says that there
was no reason for the deed except that his
cousins mind was affected by the expert
ence he underwent when he fell into the
well on last Tuesday.
Mr.. Becker said last night: 'I went to
st. Charles to transact some business this
morning. and ] did not notice that Franklin
seemed at all troubled In any way. He was
bright and cordial and l spent the greater
part Of the morning al his home. He talked
nationally and discussed some things he
wanted to do I went TO lunch with him and
after We were through he stayed with me
a little while and We discussed our business.
Then he excused himself to get some pa
pers and left the party. This was shortly
before g. In a few moments We saw Mr..
Becker walk by the house, going toward
the river. He called to me that he would
be with me in few minutes to conclude
our business. Shortly afterwards We heard
that he had gone across the river on the
ferry and we could not imagine what for.
because he had no business over there. The
captain of the boat brought us the first news
of the suicide. 1t is undoubtedly a case of
temporary alteration of the mind
Mr. Becker inserted advertisements in the
St. Louis newspapers offering 500 reward
Tor the recovery OF his cousins body.

TALK OF EXTRA SESSION.
In Case It's War With China, Cor
Cresa Will Meet.

Washington. June Ex-senator Davis. head
of the Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate, talked to the President on the sit
uation in China to-day. The Senator consid-
ers Chinese affairs too grave for official
comment He will not attempt to forecast
the outcome. Senator Davis and other Re-
publican leaders do net want to consider
the probability of a war with China. In
case war should become necessary. the
President would call Congress in extra ses-
sion to make the declaration. There is
much speculation about the probability of
this being done. but nothing definite has
been decided upon.
