BOTH SIDES RETIRE.
rroops withdrawn From Disputed
Land at Tien Tsin.

BERLIN, March 25.-The war ONCE
has the following from Count Won
Waldersee:
THE Anglo Russian dispute at Tien
Tsin has been settled from military
standpoint in a manner satisfactory
to both parties at a conference be-
tween Generals Wogack and Barrow.
Both guards and posts have been
withdrawn and salutes have been ex.
changed. The British declare that no
offense to the Russian flag was in.
tended and that the allegeA removal
of the Russian boundary marks was
neither by the command nor with the
knowledge of the military authorities.
The work on the disputed land will
not be continued until the govern.
ments have reached an agreement as
to it's possession or until a special un'
Outstanding has been attained"
PEKIN. March 25.-The troops on
both sides of the disputed land at
Tien Tsin have been withdrawn, and
all danger of a fracas is ended. The
opinion OF the British Is that the
promptness OF General Barrow in call
ing up the marines from Taku pre-
vented a collision. The British re-
port that prior to the arrival OF the
marines sentries were supplied from
the Madras Pioneers, who for several
days were surrounded by crowds of
foreign soldiers mostly French, who
assailed them with all kinds Of abuse,
calling them coolies" The Madrasses
we're becoming FESTIVE when the ma
rincs arrived at night and quietly re.
lieved them, and it was only when
daylight appeared that the Russians
discovered the change.

LAST SPEECH.
The Nations Needs Outlined and q
Glorious Future Predicted

The last speech OF President MeKin
ley was delivered at the exposition Oh
Presidents day-the day before BIZ
was shot.
1t was considered one Of his most
notable utterances and states plainly
his views as 70 the nations future and
the policies Of government needed to
provide for it.
Here are some OF the things be said
which will live long in history:
The court OF arbitrations is the
noblest forum for the settlement Of
international disputes
Our real eminence rests in the
victories Of peace, not in those Of war.
Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth
Of our wonderful industrial develop
ment under the domestic policy now
firmly established.
Commercial wars are Improbable.
Reciprocity treaties are In harmony
with the spirits Of the times.
Friendly rivalry is the spur OF in
dustrial improvement and inspiration
10 useful invention.
This portion OF the earth 1.-THE vest
ern hemisphere has no cause for
humiliation for the part 1t has per-
formed IN the march Of civilization.
We must build the isthmian canal.
The construction Of a Pacific cabal
cannot longer be postponed.
God and man have linked the ma
tiong together. No nation can longer
be Indifferent TO any other.
We must have more ships. We
must encourage our merchant marine.
One q the needs Of time is direct
commercial Lines from our vast fields
Of production TO the fields Of cougump-
ton that we have barely touched.
ExpoSitions are the ~timekeepeFs Of
progress. They record the worlds ad-
vaneement.
Isolation is no longer possible or de-
sirable. The same important news is
read, though in different languages,
the same day in all Christendom.
Trade statistics indicate that the
country is in a state Of unexampled
prosperity. The figures are almost
appalling.
We have a vast and intricate bust
ness, built up through years Of toll
and struggling, in which every part of
the country has its stake, which will
not permit Of either neglect or Of I'M
due selfshness. No narrow, sordid
policy will subseTve it.

W. ]. BRYAN's L
Character Of the Late Chief Magis-
trate Extolled.

LINCOLN, NEB., Sept I9.-MemoriaI
services for the dead President were
held at the Lindell auditorium, into
which over five thousand people
crowded. W. J, Bryan was n Of the
principal speakers, and in the course
u his address be said:
"As monuments reared by grateful
hands to the memory Of heroes testify
to the virtues Of the living as well as
the services Of the dead, 50 sorrow
that has overwhelmed our nation,
celebrating the distinctions Of party,
race and religion, is as complimentary
to the patriotism Of our people as to
our departed chief magistrate. But
it is not strange that the people bow
as n mar over the bier Of the illus
trious fellow cltizen-not strange that
the solemn stiffness is broken only By
the change Of the sacred hymns which
he was wont TO sung; it is not strange
that all hearts turn In sympathy to
the husbandless home at Canton.
1.-THE Presidents position made him
a part Of the life Of all his country
and the circumstances which attended
his taking of added indignation to
grief Indignation that even one
murderous heart could be found in all
the land, and grief that the wicked
purpose of that heart should be con-
sumated againstone 50 gentle in spirit
and 50 kind in word and deed
This is neither the time nor the
place for the discussion Of remedies
for anarchy. 1t can have no defend
ers in the Unised States. Govern
ment 10 a necessity, and the delnsion
that society caH exist without It is
harmful w when no violence Is adj
Tocated, for II is the duty Of every
citizen Of a republic 70 strive to make
his government perfect In every de-
tail, and this purpose is not only.
weakened, but entirely destroyed by
the doctrine that all governments are
bad and should DO overthFown.n
Mr.. Bryan said no one appreciated
more than he thepriyate character and
public virtue Of William Mckinley.
He referred feelingly to the deathbed
scene at Buffalo and the Christian
iortitnde displayed. His blameless
life, approachable manner and gener-
Gus conduct were praised. Mr.. Bryan
concluded as follows:
Unfortunately. in the heat Of
political controversy. ~partisanship
sometimes becomes 50 strong as to
cause injustice to become so strong as
to cause injustice to be done the mo
tlyes Of political opponents, and it
should be our constant aim 10 place
our campaigns upon so high a plane
that personalities viii be entirely
eliminated and the issues made to
turn upon the principles involved. Let
US hope that this national afiietion,
which unites all factions in a common
sorrow, will result in a broader charity
and more liberal spirit among those
who, by different policies and through
different parties, seek to promote the
welfare and increase the glory Of our
common country
