2.-The continuance of the introduction
against the Importation of arms
4 1t is understood that this Introduction
is to be permanent, and the duration Of
it and the details of its regulation seem
a proper subject OF discussion by the ne
gotiators.
3.-Equitable indemnities for the gov
ernment, corporations and private In
dividuals.
This is an object desired by all the
powers. The Russian government has
suggested that in case Of protracted di-
vergence of views, this matter might be
commended to the consideration of the
International court of arbitration of The
Hague. The President thinks this sug-
gestion worthy the attention of the pow
ars.
A.-The organization in Pek1n of per-
manent guard for the legations.
The government of the United States is
unable to make any permanent engage
ment of this nature without the authori-
zation of the legislative branch, but in
the present emergency we have stationed
in Pekin an adequate legation guard.
5.-The dismantling of the forts at
Taku.
The President reserves the expressions
OF his opinion as to this measure pending
the receipt of further Information in re-
gard to the situation in China.
6.-The military occupation of two or
three points on the road from Tien Tsin
to Pekin.
The same observation which has been
made in reference to number four applies
also to this proposition. The President
is unable to commit the United States to
a permanent participation in such ocou-

Washington, October 1.-THE reply of
the state department to the French note
relative to the bases Of Chinese negotia-
tions was made public late today. 1t
reads as follows:
The Secretary of State to the French
Charge d 'Afaires.
(Sent to Mr.. Thiebaut October 10, 1900
Memorandum.
The government of the United States
agrees with that of France in recognizing
as the object to be obtained from the gov
ernment of China appropriate reparation
for the past and substantial guarantees
for the future. The President is glad to
perceive in the bases OF negotiations put
forward in the memorandum OF October
4, the spirit that has animated the decla-
rati0ns heretofore made by all the powers
interested and would be pleased to see the
negotiations begun Immediately upon the
usual verltcation OF credentials 1t may
be convenient to enumerate the classes OF
the memorandum and to add some obser-
vations dictated by the attitude of the
United States in the present circum-
stances.
1.-The punishment OF the guilty parties
who may be designated by the representa-
tives OF the powers at Pekin. -
The Chinese government has already
indicated It's intention to punish a num-
ber of those responsible for the recent dis
orders. The representatives of the powers
at Pekin may suggest additions to that
list when negotiations are entered upon.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
iliZed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
ProstraUiOn or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of un-
digested food regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and oragnic
action of the system. and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by r. L..

The ancient believed that rheu-
matism was the work Of a demon
within a man. ANY one who has
had an attack Of sciatic or inllam-
matory rheumatism will agree
that the infiction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. It
has never been claimed that
Cham berlain S Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear
testimony to the truth Of this
statement. One application re-
lieves the pain, and this quick re-

for ST and could not find him.
We had just finished dinner. He
had eaten with us. He got up
for a moment as we we're finish
ing our dinner and we did not
see him again. It worried us a
good deal, for we were practically
lost without ST and his good
spirits and deviltry. But after
we had instituted all manner of
search for him and failed to find
him we give him up as lost and
after seeing the parade OF the
Krewe of Comus, we set out for
the Royal Palace. AS you well
know, doubtless, His Majesty
Rex, King of the Carnival, is not
one of these stuck-up specimens
of royalty but on the night OF
Mardi Gras he receives everyone
at the royal Palace. There is
afterwards a grand ball given
there.
1t took an interm1nable time to
reach the grotto in which are
seated the king and queen. AND
it looked as if our little party
would never reach His Majesty.
Now that all the fun was draw
ing to close, l began to think
good deal of my return home and
what the deuce l should say to
Sal when l got to Meridian. 1t
began to weigh on my mind as
heavily as my supposed killing OF
young Peters in the duel. And
there was no chance about any
one having unloaded the pistol OF
t the shot in this case. 1t was an
ordeal that | had to face. What
more than ever weighed on my
spirits too was that there might
be another second at this duel
more terrible than the principal,
SAILS nav.
Twas thinking of ali this as the
crowd in the narrow way OF the
grotto was making it's way slowly
to the king, as subjects were
bowing and passing on and new
one taking their places.
Finally our little party reached
the king. OF course l had gotten
that deeply into this sort OF
fun-making that I naturally made
a grand bow, and as was doing
so, lady on my left seized my
arm and bowed and walked on
with me.
Do you know l was in that sort
of confused state that had made
two or three steps before l look
ed at my fair companion.
It was Sal!
And Immediately on her left
was that fellow ST, so filled with
laughter that he could scarcely
move.
"Have a good time, Bill?"
asked Sal sweetly.
"Splendid.V
ooh, wasn't it fne! she re-
Piled, squeezing my arm. 81 got

"Now don't get mad, Bill. 1t
was all a joke about my going to
maw's.
"No, don't get mad, Bill" " said
ST, laughing so heartily that the
whole blamed bunch were looking
at him. "You see it's Just this
way. Brown and l wanted you
both here, and we contrived to
have Sal leave first, ostensibly
for her mothers. But she came
direct to New Orlens with my
wife, old boy, on condition that
it should not be known to you
until tonight. We assured her
that it would be all right; and
now 1 ask you, isn't it all right?"
And ST looked at me quizzically

night in this e.ty. Reports were re-

received the unanimous approval OF the
societies in Ireland, and the meeting
thereupon also approved Of the proceed
ings Of the convention and pledged the
United American societies to give
to the convention ttelr moral and H.
nancial support all along
Resolutions regarding the depOrted
Fenians were adopted stating that we
see in this action Of the present admin
istration an abject and slavish surren-
der Of one Of the vital principles which
have made our country. through the
entire period Of its history, stand out as
a refuge and shelter for the oppressed
Of all nations, and that we see In this
act evidence OF the charge heard on
all sides that the present adminlstra-
tion is controlled and dominated by
England and English influence"
The resolutions deplored the estab-
Ishment Of a precedent which may be
fraught with consequences greatly in
furious to American Interests" and
condemned the action Of the admin
istration, as "a base surrender Of Amer.
lean doctrine at The demand OF the one
country which has always been our bit
ter and unrelenting foe" and regard
ed the deportation Of those men as "an
act which indicates that the present

which may be necessary to advance
English interests or pander to English
opinion"
The resolutions call the attention Of
Irishmen ito the fact that crisis in
the affairs OF the nation is upon US,
and that only concerted and demanded
action on the part Of the masses Of the
people can or viii prevent the present
administration from drawing this coun-
try, as an ally Of England, into the ruin

To raise fund to help the two men to
