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.

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-."

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.
