 RIGA VERY SERIOUS.
Tribssmsn Staying ssssIsr.a and susaanx Homss-Larse Reinforcement. to be Rushed to the seens-sratsmsns mads 10 the Rsichstag-Larse Credit Asked to subdue Natlves.

Berlin, Jan. 18.-Further advices from German Southwest Africa say that He-
 reros are murdering settlers and burn ing homesteads over wide areas. The German colonial troops in the district are wholly insufficient to deal with the revolted natives. Chancellor von Bue-
 low submitted to Emperor William yes-
 terday the dispatches received on the subject by the government. and the
 emperor sent for War Minister von Elm enl and Admiralty Secretary von Tir-
 pitz. The decision of the conference was to ask the reichstag immediately to au-.
 thorize the sending out of reinforce- ments.
 Addressing the reichstag immediately after it assembled this afternoon, the
 chancellor said it had become his duty
 to inform the house of the serious posi- ton of the German settlers in south- west Africa through the revolt of tho Hereros. They had killed a number Of settlers who were fleeing to the sta-
 tions. had destroyed houses and form
 improvements. and had driven off the cattle Of a great part of the German
 pioneers, wwho are now unable to leave the protection of the stations.
 The instruction came at time when the governor and a large part of tho colonial troops were subdung the Bon- delzwarts tribe, twenty days march away. In consequence of this, and tho remaining forces being scattered among the various places of refuge in the nid- de of the colony, the natives were seri- ously threatening Okojundjy, Otjun- bingwe and Karibib, and even Winds hoek itself
 The government, before the last dis- patches had been received had ordered 300 men, with six machine guns and six pieces of artillery, to be placed in read- mess for active service, but start could not be made before January 30. The serious intelligence nov at hand made it necessary to send out immedi- ately a battalion of 5oo marines, in ad- dition to the other troops with a com plement of guns and railroad ianeegs.. These would embark Thursday on @S North German Lloyd line steamer and arrive at Swakopmund, German South-
 west Africa, February 8. The gunboat Habicht had been ordered from Cape Town, and was due to arrive at Swa.-
 xopmund to-day. Moreover, 23o men, previously dispatched, would i s s va V q opTuund February 3.

 venaion-wants Candidates Nomi- mated Who Believe It.
 Lincoln. Neb., Jan. 1s.-A formal well come to w. J. Bryan on his return from Europe. taking the form of dollar dinner" was held tonight and it was attended by nearly seven hundred dem ocrats. The dinner was intended as a testimonial of regard and sympathy with Mr. Bryan's political policies, and to mark his entry into active participa- ton in the pre-convention campaign. MT. Bryan spoke on ''The Moral Issue. 9 His speech was heartily applauded MT. Bryan said. in part:
 Instead of talking of concessions and compromises, it is time for honest and aggressive action. We are confronted with a condition that may well alarm the thoughtful and patriotic. We find corruption everywhere. Voters are bought at so much head, representa- tives in our city governments are prof iting by their positions, and even fed- eral officers are selling influence. What is the cause? The commercial spirit which puts price on everything and resolves every question into will it pay?' This commercialism has given popularity to that theory of govern ment which permits the granting of privileges to favored few and defends the theory by an attempt to show that the money thus given directly finds it's way indirectly back into the pockets of the taxpayers.
 ''The Kansas City platform is sound on every plank, and the first act of the next democratic convention should be to reaffirm it in it's entirety, and it's next act should be the addition of new blanks in harmony with it and cover ing such new questions as demand con- sideration. Then the convention should select candidates who believe in the platform candidates whose democracy will not be an issue in the campaign and whose fidelity to democratic prin- ciples will not be doubted at the cleo ton. And then the committee should announce that it will neither ask nor receive contributions from those who are entrenched behind the bulwarks which we are attacking And then let us defond our position, not on the low ground of dollars and cents, but by showing how republican policies violate moral principles and invite the punish ment that sooner or later overtakes the i wrong sdoar.
 will such course insure victory {? The best that our party can do is to de- serve victory, and an appeal to the con- science of the American people is sure to win ultimately and offers the best promise of immediate success

CT of Conflict is Ended-Receives Japanese Minister in Special Audience Great Significance Attached to the
 Interview.
 London, Jan. 19.-The czar in receiv- ing the ministers in state at Tsarkoe-
 selo on Sunday declared. says the Daily Mails St. Petersburg correspondent, that all danger of conflict was now
 ended.
 All the special cablegrams from St.
 Petersburg published in this mornings papers confirm the belief that the ten- sion has been greatly relaxed, but, ac- cording to the correspondent of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, there is a strong feeling in official quar- ters there against the representatives
 of both Great Britain and the United
 States.
 The special cablegrams from Tokio,
 on the other hand, still reflect the belli- cose feeling of the Japanese press and people, anl the suspicion of the Russian assurances.
 says that another conference of the elder statesmen is about to be sum- moned
 The Daily Mails Pekin correspondent reports the arrival in Manchuria by railway of four more Russian regiments and thinks that Russia intends to wait until she has three hundred thousand men available.
 Cologne, Germany, Jan. 1S.-The Jap anese minister to Russia will be receiv- ed in special audience by the czar at Tsarkoe- -Selo to-day, according to dis patch to the Cologne Gazette from St. Petersburg. Great significance is at tached to the interview as pointing to a
 possible early settlement cf the far eastern dispute.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. lS.-The Associ-4 ated Press correspondent, on high au- thority, is able to give the following as the present status of the negotiations between Russia and Japan
 Russia recognizes Japan's predomi- nance in Corea, and Japan recognizes
 Russia's special position in Corea.
 There are two main questions still at
 issue-the Russian demand for a neu tral zone on the Corean side of the Yalu
 river, which Japan met with a proposal for a similar neutral strip on the Man-
 churian side. Japa ,nalso asks for cer-s tain guarantees covering Manchuria, which Russia thus far has declined to
 grant. It is pointed out, however, that the assurances given a few days ago by Russia regarding open ports in Man churia and respect for treaty rights is 8 concession on this point. That the two countries are not so far apart may be fairly inferred from the following statement made by Mir. Ku- rano, Japanese minister, to the Associ-
 ated Press correspondent: War now would only be disastrous to both countries. Owing to the geo.. graphical situation an armed conflict
 would result in great drain on the
 men and treasuries of both Japan and
 Russia, without being decisive. Be- sides, I believe it would not be worth while to go to war on the questions still | in dispute"
