him $2so and free pass out of the state

Will Insist that Ports in Manchuria
Be Opened to the Trade Of
the World.
PRINCE CHING'S REFUSAL
A SURPRISE TO THE OFFICIALS AT
WASHINGTON.
Minister Conger Informed, Possibly
at Russia's InstigatiOn, that
Ports Will BE Kept Closed.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Notwithstand-
ing the publication of dispatches from vari-
Gus foreign cities questioning the extent of
the promises made to the American gov
ernment by China and Russia respecting
Manchuria the officials here positively de-
cline to add to or take one word from the
statement published from Washington just
before the departure of Secretary Hay to
the effect that satisfactory assurances had
been received that two or more Manchurian
ports would be opened to the worlds trade
1t is quite certain that China, which is here
regarded as the sovereign power In Man.
churia, made these pledges, and it is
equally certain that the United States gov
ernment fully intends that they shall be
kept.
The details referred to in the original
statement as requiring adjustment are still
unsettled, but the State Department is
patient, resting in full confidence of the
opening of the ports required within a rea-
sonable length of time. 1t is true, as stat
ed in London dispatches. that Japan looks
with suspicion upon the Russian pledges
relative to Manchuria and has intimated to
the State Department that they are not
satisfactory. but so far the department
sees no reason to accept that view.

Hugh w. Miller, Republican; Peter f.

interested citizens to understand just why
the coming of the distinguished candidate
has been managed solely by Democrats,
among whom the secretary of the Demo-

prominent part.
The local situation, from a Democratic
1885, such as would warrant the belief that
Mr.. Bryan would receive a fiattering recep-
ton as representative Democrat. Since
then very mary of the stanchest adherents
of Democracy openly allied themselves with
the Republican party. Others have joined
forces with the Socialists. Prominent among
this latter class are William H. Everrood
