Degradation of Princes
Merely to Gain Time.
New Capital Established Will BE
Inaccessible.

London, October Gals a. NIT is re-
ported in ST. Petersburg, according to
the correspondent of the Times at the
Russianecapital, that the Chinese fleet in
Formosa strait attempted to engage the
Russians armored cruiser Rurik, but
the latter's speed frustrated the plan
The correspondent says it is probable
that the allied equadrons will force the
Chinese feet to capituIate or will destroy
it.
Shanghai kilograms announce that the
imperial edict, dated September 80 order
ing the court to be removed to ST Chan
Flu was Issued owing to the famine at
Tai-Yuan-Fu, capital of the province of
Shang-Si. They also express the opin-
ion that the object of the recent ediots
regarding the degradation Of Chinese
personages of high rank Is merely to gain
time and to enable China to be in bet
ter position to defy the powers. as the
new capital will be virtually inaccessible
from sthe coast. The Shanghai corre-
spondent Of the Morning Post discussing
this aspect of the case remarks:
''The German troops have no means OF
tran sport, and an attempt to follow the
Chinese court would be, therefore, quite
futile.
He says that the Chinese firmly be-
lieve in the existence of a Russo-German
agreement under which Russia win take
all the territory north of the great wall
and Germany the provinces of Chilli and
Shan Tung.''
The Times represen ntative at Shanghai
says: "It is believed here that highly
int1ammatory edicts are being issued
secretly and that the recent public ed1cts
are only intended to hoodwink the pow
ers.''

sentatives acquitted themselves of this
mission and lett with the various foreign
ministers a copy of the following note:
"In sending their forces to China the
powers proposed, first of ali, Eto deliver
their legations. Thanks to their union
and the valor of their troops, this aim has
been attained. 1t is now question of
securing from the Chinese government.
which has given Prince Ching and Lii
Hung Chang full powers to negotiate and
treat in its name, suitable reparation for
the past and serious guarantees for tn g
future. Penetrated with the spirit which
inspired the previous declarations Of the
different governments, the government of
the republic believes it sums up their
real sentiment in the following points
which it submits as basis for negotia-
tions to be entered upon Immediately
after the usual verifcation of the powers:
"First-The punishment of the princi-
pal culprits who will be designated by
the representatives of the powers at Pc
kin.
"Second-The maintenance of the pro-
hibition o. the import Of arms.

To the Editor of the Sun:
Sir-In a speech delivered at Green
castle to the students Of De Pauw Uni
versity on last Saturday, Mr.. Bryan Is
reported to have declared that the Re
publican party has no plan for the
government of the Philippines. He
said:
Republicans, your president has no
plan, your Cabinet has no plan, your
Congress has no plan, your editors
have no plan, you have no plan. Search
your heads. search your hearts; you
know you have no plan that you would
even dare TO tell your neighbors.'
The Scripture tells us of class of
men called PhariseeS to whom our
Lord once addressed the inquiry:
Having eyes see We not? and having
ears hear ye not? and do ye not re
