Polish Orator From Chicago Tried
to Make Republican Speech, but
Couldn't Answer Queries.
QUIT THE STAGE IN DESPAIR.
Then a Democratic Orator Made a
Democratic Speech, and the
Meeting Ended With Cheers
for Bryan and Dockery.

This sentence. appended to a circular of
invitation is what played havoc with a
Polish Republican meeting held at Stolle's
Hail. at the corner of Thirteenth and Bid
die streets. yesterday afternoon. 10 the to-
tai discontinue of Krongoid ~ Zlatnicki,
editor of the Chicago Dzienick Polski. who
was sent down TO St. Louis to prevent the
general slump of Polish votes into the
Democratic party.
Mr.. Ziatncki's audience took occasion to
remember the admonition on the small
bills distributed prior to the meeting con-
cerninS the questions. and when the Chi
cago editor arose to speak to a house full
of POlanders he was greeted by a storm
of questions that fioored him the first
round. Zlatnicki was polished off in few
minutes. and he left the hall vowing that
If the Republican National Committee de-
sired him to make other speeches to his fel-
low-countrymen they would have to send
along a copy of the Ready Political Inter-
prefer. or the Campaign Speakers Guide
to Success.
The room was crowded when he began.
1t stayed with him. Polapders from every
part of the city were present I'm large
numbers. and there was not a Republican in
the audience. The meeting had been well
advertised. but the Polish residents had al
ready made up their minds to vote the
Democratic ticket this year. They simply
went to see the fun and ask questions.
And ask questions they did. No sooner
had the Chicago editor got fairly under
way in his explanation of the dangers of
the paramount issue of expansion than the
crcwd turned loose its box OF Interrogation
points. They flew thick and fast. and by
the time he had one answered there were
a half dozen still in front OF him.
He struck a hard proposition from the
Polish standpoint concerning the standing
army. He stopped. and i'm a minute had
foundered too far into the surf to recover
his feet. The audience shouted in g!ee and
laughed so loudly that Mr.. KronSod n.
Zlatnicki Of Chicago retired from the plat
form.
+. s. Kowalski. one of the Democratic
leaders among the Polish residents. took
the stage. He made a good Democratic
speech, which lasted for quite a time. The
meeting broke up with three cheers for
Bryan and Dockery.

Burglar Entered Servants Room
at No. 1925 Delmar Boulevard.

Nora King and Mary Pender. servants in
the household of Mrs. Lima V. Newman. at
No. 4225 Dclmar boulevard have lost their
savings of several years through the efforts
of an enterprising thief.
Yesterday morning, as has been their
custom for years, they left the house short
ly before 6 o'clock to attend early mass. In
their absence, and before the members Of
the household had arisen, some one effected
an entrance. presumably by the rear or side
door, went up to their room on the third
floor. unlocked their trunk and removed
therefrom all the money in sight.
In the trunk of Nora King there was a
purse containing $50. in $40 and $50 bills.
In Mary Pender'S trunk there was an on
velope containing $l80. the most of which
belonged to her sister, who had left 1t with
her for safe keeping. The burglar very gen
erously left the purse and 10 cents. as also
the envelope. He closed one trunk and
locked it, while the other he simply closed.

Great MARK of Respect for the Mem

Chicago. Aug. 17-Every wheel and
stroke of commerce throughout the great
Southern Pacific system of railroads and
steamship lines was stopped for seven
minutes to-day during the burial of Col
lis p. Huntington in New York.
Al the exact moment when the clock
struck II in New York every hammer in
all the shops ceased changing; engines
paused upon the rails and steamships
floated lifelessly upon the water. In Chi
cago the offices remained closed all the
morning, and no tickets were sold or other
business transacted until after the re-
mains OF the once great railroad magnate
were laid to rest. During the short sus-
pension of business $4,000 men in all sec
tions of the United States remained idle.
The Chicago offices were draped with

governments, the fear that it might be
atter all mistake began 10 gain grand.
When, however, a little before 10 o'clock
tonight, the Navy Department had q
message from Remey, stating tnat adyiees
If )r Tien Tsin told of the capture of
Pekin and the safety of the lega asions
there was a feeling of intense relief in
official circles and great rejoicing on all
sides
The details are told in the press reports
The first chapter of the most interesting
story in the history of The Chinese en-
piTe has been written Is it a prelude to
the downfall of the Mauchu dynasty?
Does it mean the overthrow of the entire
empire and the partition of Chinese ter
ritory, or is China to remain intact? Time
alone can tell. This government is un-
questionably committed to the mainten-
ance of the integrity of the Chinese en-
pire.
What is the next step to be taken?
Everybody is asking this question and no.
body will answer it officially. Ii is known,
of course, that the President and his ad-
Vlsors have gone over the 81, uation very
thor oughly. They discussed it al to-day 8
cabinet meeting at some length, but they
discussed it more carefully yesterday.
The uniform official answer to all in
quiries as 10 future policy has been that
this government was considering nothing
beyond the rescue of it's people. The i'm
preston has been given out by officials
generally that this government would act
in sense independently, and that hav-
ing effected the rescue of the Americans,
our troops would be withdrawn from Pc
kin This, however is by no means GER
tain. Or rather, it is by no means GER
tain that this withdrawal will take place
in the very near future. IL is known
that in the notes which have passed be-
tween this government and the govern
ments of Europe there have been under
consideration two plans, one of them TO
withdraw the troops at once to Tien Tsin
and the other 10 remain az Pekin until
the full mission of the civilized nations,
as it is understood by their governments,
is completed
Naturally, the choice between these two
plans depended largely. if not entirely,
upon the conditions at Pekin after the
result Had the transfer been made un-
der the provisions of the negotiations, as
contemplated by Ii Hung Chang. that is,
had the imperial forces remained in Pc
kin, and the transfer been effected on
the outside or al the outer wall, it would
dcubtl IS have been the Judgment of the
allied commanders that the forces should
retire to Tien Tsin, there to await re-
Inducements and to watch the progress
Of negotiations looking to the complete
satisfaction of thu claims of all the Pow
ers. Now. however, thai the allied forces
are inside Tekin, there is every reason to
believe that they are to remain there, not
only until reparation is made. but until
a proper status in China itself is restored
