THE END SEEMS IN SIGHT.
The American Proposition Regarding China Will
Be Accepted By The Powers.
CHIMFSE READY TO MAKE TERMS
All I lie Foreign Powers (letting In
Line to Accept l'he Position 'l'aken
By I lie United States.
Washington, I). C., Special? Favor
able news has reached Washington
from the Kuropcan chancellories indi
cating that a completo agreement as
to China Is within slRht and that, too,
?M1 the 1 litHiti Llf lilO 4" Vrt'lti
down by Secretary Hay in his note of
July and the subsequent notes treat
ing of that subject. The accord o? Ttns
JBia with tile I'nited States is more
flmplete than was anticipated at first
reports show that all of tho
htmfrrnT "native probably a?e plat -
ing themselves in position*"!?) take ad
^ vantage of the opening made by the
United States and soon will be ready
to begin negotiations for a settlement
with tho Chinese government. Tho
x HilBbiuns have given notice of such
purpose ami while tho text of the
French note on this subject, refered to
jn the press di.^pajehes, has not reached
tho Statu Department the officials are
satisfied that this is correctly reported
and that France, like Russia, ifi ready
to negotiate at once.
As for Germany, either the position
of that government lias been misun
derstood, or it has sustained a change
of mind. Possibly the former is the
case; but, however that may be, it is
quite certain from the advices which
have reached Washington tint, tho
German government, upon careful in
spection of tho plans for a settlement
projected by the United States, finds
therein nothing inconsistent with tho
German aspirations. Therefore, it may
be expected that Germany, too, will bo
prepared soon to join in this common
movement towards a settlement. It
may be stated that altogether tho proa- j
peets of an adjustment of the Chinese
, difficulty without resort to formal war
j^'arR very much brighter than they were
one week ago.
Wholesale Punishment.
Washington, D. C., Special.?The |
Chinceo minister ha3 delivered to tho
State Department officials confirmation ,

many other Chinese leaders. The fol- !

iH Speeches to Wisconsin Farmers In
[One Day.
LaCrosse, Wis., Special.?When Wil
liam Jennings Bryan concluded his last
speech nere ho had made eighteen ad
dresses and had covered about fifteen
hours of time during tho ij^v. Begin
I nijig ?t 8 oVIrnw in the morning he
'talked at intervals until 11 o'clock at

1 solid hours oi speech-making. Tho
| region traversed is a rich agricultural
I section and Mr. Bryan's remarks were
! addressed especially to farmers, tho
I trust question receiving even a greater
| share of attention than usual. At
i Shakopee Mr. Bryan said:
"Why is it that the Republican
party allows tho trust to grow? lle
j cause the Republican party is more In
! tcrested in those who possess the or
| ganized wealth of the country than in
those who are contributing to the
j largo dividends collected by the trusts,
j Why does the Republican party want
a largo army? They want it at home
j to suppress by force the discontent
j which should be cured by legislation,
and they want at abroad in order to
| exploit the Philippine Islands, and If
I you will look up the record you wlil
| find that the Republican member of
j Congress who stands at the head of
the nrmy committee of the House of
! Representatives is the president of tho
| Philippine Jvumhoi; Development Com
j panv, and they have already gol.bled
up r lot of lumber lands and taken
control of the improvement in tho
Philippine. Islands. In their pros
pectus they say (he labor question is
easily solved. There is plenty of
I Chines* labor. By reading their pros
1 pet us you can see why jt is that some
? people want a large army and imperial
i ism. and while it is a good thing for
| those doing the developing, it is a
bad thing for the people who furnish
sons for tho army and tho people who
pay tho taxes-."
Manna at Chicago.
Chicago, Special.?Senator llannu
Tuesday night made his first address
In Chicago since his return from Now
York. He spoke at a noon meeting of
the commercial men and retail sales
men. Tho hall where he spoke was
filled, not a few women being In tho
audience. Senator 1 lamia spoke in
part as follow*:
"It is encouraging for me to see that
the business imprests and the. work
ingmen of the United States are awak
ening to the importance of the issues.
Every Democratic issue that has been
presented to the American public thus
far has been for the purpose of lending
astray the minds of the people from
the real issue. There ip but one issue,
only one?the Issue of prosperity and
the continuation of It. The Issue to-day
is just what, it was In 1806, only more
fo. The question Is, do the American
people want as a foundation for tholr
interest sound money and protection
to American intere;;*- and American
working men?
"I do not ^ant to talk about imperi
alism, my friends. That is played out.
It Is a bugaboo^ It was intended to de
ceive the American'' people. It is an
impossible Issue; it is a fraud. It is a
humaug to talk about th*? Amerlran
people resolving themselves Into an
empire or that a man wjth tho reputa
tion. with the character and ability of
William MoKinley would be an Em
peror.
Natal Voluteera in Troublo.
Durban, By Cable.?In consequence
of the Boers capturing a convoy of
Natal volunteers between I>egader's

sion throughout the colony.

"I'pon the important questions of
tinnnro, of domestic administration and
of reform in our methods.of taxation
the platform of the People's p?j/ty
gives no uncertain sound. It is no loss
emphatic in its demand for a return to
the policy of honed and cconoin'.o.U !
expenditures of the public money. Thfc j
further domand for wise and eftloient
legislation looking to tho suppression
of trusts cannot fail to challenge the
attention of all thoughtful men. In
common, however, with the Silver Re
publican ami tho Democratic parties,
von recognize tho Important fact that
nil these are but questions of the hoifh
in the presence of the overshadowing
it silo of imperial I .-in others are but .''8
the dust In tho balance. It Is not
strange then that there should now ho
loncert of action between those who j
sincerely believe that a crisis has been
reat lied in which mere party considers j
tlons are of secondary importance.
"involved in tho settlement of thin'
great question are consequences of;
deep import to the Amorieau people.}
The supreme gravity of the issue can- j
not. be measured by words. As was:
truly said by an eminent llepublie.au
Senator, 'The question is greater than '
parties, greater than administrations,,
greater than the prosperity and Imp-|
plihss of a single generation.'
"Moore than this, following clos- lu
the wake of imperialism, as the night
the day, comes the immense standing
army. The dread arm of militarism i:11
to bo made bare in the new world as
it is in the old. The strong arm ?>f
power is to bo substituted for the ;
peaceful agencies which for more than i
a century have brought contentment
and happiness to all our p?ople. Ex- ]

??Imperialism?The Republic nr thfl j
JJmplre? Is indeed the overshadowing ;
Issue with which we are confronted in
the pending struggle for political su- :

peaceful instrumentality of the ballot .
Meanwhile, Its discussion will continue j
at the fireside and on the hustingi |

our history. It was PuJ-ko who siid j
'I love clamor when there is an abuse,
The alarm bell disturbs'", the lnliabi*

onl way that they rim properly do thin
Is to go by the membership roll, tl
you do not send in your resignation at
least two or three wicks before the
ball !?< held. we have to provide for
your coming, and consequently it la
inoperative that the laws of the sOoi'-ty
be carried out. and that each mo nlier
bo hold for his dm.i. We, therefore,
address this biter not only to tho roll
of present members that we have, but
to those w4h).v names on our bioks
show have attended previous ball',
whether they are in arrears or not.
We do this for the purpose of calling
your attention to the great goo I III it
this ball annually accomplishes t.ow<*ld
the whole social fabric of the Stale It
brings togothei and forms ties of nsso
ciatlon between the people of the en
tire State, su. h as no Other one society

on which the bill is conducted ii in It
self an education in toci.il ethics

increased In the past few years on ac
count of the increased attendance and

committee propose to do all in their
power to make it a handsome ball each
year, and at the same time are anxious
to reduce the expenses as much as pos
sible. This can only he accomplished
by tlie members throughout the Htite
realizing fully what great good th!s
annual social gathering of tho propie
of the State does in uniting by bring
ing together one section of the State
with another. We hop* that for this
cnu?e alone you will endeavor to con
tinue your U1CIV1 ijcisViIj# *?? renew your
membership so that the soc.ety can. at
an early date, be on u sound financial
basis. At present we aie barely pay
ing, expenses, but If the memh rs
throughout tho State will take a k en
interest In the success of the society
and continue their membership re
gularly from year to year. it. could soon
he put on a basis where the annual
dues would not be. apparently so ex
pensive The initiation fee ?l.?nJ
duos for thl" year's ball nre $10 00 a
total of f 11.00 for new members.
We hope thorn former members
whom this leaches whe/hsvo not been
members for some years will ron.w
their membership on tht^ appeal and
send In their names fnr re-election.
We hope nil those who are n? m
