porous.

Representative Hepburn of Iowa. one of
the leading republicans of the House, has
reached the city. after an absence of sew
eraI weeks in the west. Mr.. Hepburn is
very much encouraged over the outlook
for the success of the republican party In
the west, taking his own state as a cri-
terion
Iowa will increase her majority for Nc
kinley and the republican ticket from
10000 to 10000 votes over 1896" said Mr..
Hepburn to Star reporter this afternoon.
I'VE will elect republican representatives
in Congress and increase the republican
pluraities in several of the congressional
districts. Mr.. Bryan cuts no figure in our
state now. AS matter of fact. the peo-
pie of Iowa do not take him seriously.
No Interest In ImperiaIism.
Our folks take no interest at all in his
talk of Imperialism and militarism They
do not think that his plan can solve the
Philippine problem. Although 1t may not
be clear in every mans mind just what
ought to be done with the Philippines in
the future. our people are certain of one
th:ng-they do not propose to let go at
this time Even Mr.. Bryan, l believe
wants peace restored before settling the
main question.
AS for the free coinage of silver. that

VIII Stay With the Republican Party.
People who are thus situated are not
likely TO respond to the appeals of the
democratic orators. but will stay 18th the
republican party. The foreign voters of
my district are not moved by Lie demo-
cratic talk of miltarism. They do not fear
militarism under present conditions. but
they do realize the danger of free coinage
under democratic control. These citizens
are prosperous people. hard working and
thorough believers in the principle of a
sound financial system"
There are two congressional districts in
Iowa which usually are close, -1r- Hep

A REPLY TO CONGER
IT'S CONTENTS WILL NOT BE GIVEN
TO THE PUBLIC.
II is UnderstOOd This Government
VIII Not Advise His
Leaving Pekin.

AS a result of a conference with the
President. the acting secretary of state has
forwarded cipher dispatch to Minister
Conger in reply to the one received from
him yesterday describing the plight of the
foreigners in Pekin. 1t was announced
offfcfally and positively that this message
would not be made public, either in whole
or in substance.
1t was made plain, however that the
message was sufficiently guarded not to
further increase the jeopardy of our minis
ter in case the Chinese have access to our
cipher. As to the terms of the message they
are believed to make plain that this gov
ernment will not advise, much less direct
that Mr. Conger leave Pekin under Chinese
escort, when the rinis+er ha~ eA--'~-d
Washington that this would mean certain
death.
Moreover. the reply doubtless let's the
minister know that there Is an una count
able error In the statement of the Chinese
government. as conveyed to him through
the tsung Ii yamen. that the foreign gov
ernment had urged repeatedly that the
ministers be sent out of Pekn under
suitable escort.
Accepts Waldersee's Leadership.
1t is officially admitted that the United
States government has assented to the Sc
lection of Count Waldersee of Germany
commander -in-chief of the allied forces in
China. Count Waldersee will make the trip
to China on the warship Sachsen. which
will start from an Italian port on the 21st
instant
1t is confidently expected that the ad-
vance movement against Pekin will be
successfully accomplished before the ar
rival in China of Count Waldersee, in
which case 1t would only remain for him
to command the international military
forces in the general military program
which may follow that event. His assump-
ton of supreme command will not involve
any change In the present organization of
the United States forces nor interfere with
the duties Of Gen. Chaffee as commander
in-chief of the American contingent
