Washington, Aug. 21.— The Chinese sit uation developed little of importance to day- It is stated frankly by the officials hi the state, war and navy departments but no dispatches have been received •'caring on the problem, which has yet to tx solved, namely, the disposition of China’s affairs at the hands of the Pow ers. In the absence of other food for spec ulation. the receipt of two casualty lists from Gen. Chaffee, dated at Tien Tsin, "ere made the basis for a report that he and the American force had evacu ated Pekin. It was stated at the war department, however, that no advices have been received indicating that Gen. ’’ haffee had left Pekin, and it was said that he would have advised the war de partment and given ids reasons for do ing so, had he contemplated such an Important step. A cabinet oflicer is authority for the statement that alleged differences among the Powers, brought on by the reported action of Russia, have not disturbed this government In the least, and there is no information in possession of this govern ment that Russia has declared war or that she is pursuing a course in any way different from that of other governments represented in China. It was also said ♦hat the statements regarding Russia had not received consideration at the meeling of the cabinet to-day. Wants \o Territory. Regarding the attitude of this govern ment in ease serious differences among •he I'owers should arise as to their fulure course in China, it was stated on good au thority to-day that this government re mained firmly opposed to any territorial division of China, as was plainly slated in Secretary Hay’s note of July 3. Every resource of diplomacy will be exhausted to prevent partition of the empire, and it *as said that the diversion of American troops to Manila, already announced by •he War Department, was practical evi dence to the other Power* of the good ♦ aitli of the United States in this matter. •<ur work in China has been aecompltsh fd in large part by the relief of the lega ilon- and our further obligation, that of siding to restore and maintain peace, can b“ accomplished through the troops al ready on Chinese soil. • t la pointed out, however, that In view the altitude already assumed by the United At ales, and the large part It has fcad In opening the way u> Pekin, this jlata&ttttalj J®ofttitto Metope commercial freedom in China as a mini mum condition of the find settlement, in the event of territorial division of the Chinese empire, should that be- accom plished. The United States, of course, wants no territory, nnd it is felt that her rights as to dommwcial freedom are too clear to he gainsaid by the other na tions interested. Conference nt White House. After the cabinent meeting to-day there* was an extended conference at the White Houa?, in which Se?retary Root and Act ing Secretary Ailee participated. The conference related to Chinese affairs, and it was said (o he confined largely to con sidering messages received from other powers on the subject and in drafting answers to them. The suggestion that the powers be asked to participate in a conference or to give some indication of future purposes in China was believed to be under consideration, and it was inti mated that notes to the different powers have been prepared. Secretary Root said at the clos* of the conference that it i elated to matters which needed the c nsideration of the President and covered the wide field of Chinese affairs. He siid that no hing had developed of a serious natuie n the late icports from China v . It was also stated that the United States government is in frequent communication with the other Powers regarding the Chinese situation. During the afternoon Acting Secretary A dee had a conference with the acting chief of the bureau of navigation, the nature of which was not made public. It was said in the navy department, how ever. that so far as known here, we have no worship at Amoy. The Princ.ton has touched there occasionally, while on duty in south Chinese waters, but fche is thought to be now in the vicinity of Shanghai. Dispatches were prepared in the navy department for transmission to Admiral Remey. and although not made public, are understood to have contained Consul Johnson’s dispatch regarding the Amoy uprising. Acting Secretary Hackeit said, however, that no warship had been or dered to Amoy by the navy department, and that he hod no knowledge that any ship had been sent there. If such a step were taken, he said, it would be by Admiral Remey. who has entire lib erty as to the disposition of the vessels of his squadron. WILL REMAiFIN PEKIN. United States Will Not Withdraw Troops—President and His Ad visors So Determined. Washington, Aug. 24.—The question of the withdrawal of the United States forces from Pekin to Tien Tsin or Taku has been seriously considered by the Pres ident and his advisers.

While it is recognized that a withdrawal of the forces from Pekin might be hailed with satisfaction in this country, it js said that the moral effect in China and upon the Chinese would be bad and would be interpreted by the Chinese as a re treat.

NO GLORY OF EMPIRE MR. BRYAN DEi'LARKS IT IS NOT W INTKD. * IS A LURE TO DESTRUCTION. GOVERNMENT BY TIJK I’EOI’Li; FOR THE PEOPLE NEEDED.

Manhattan, Kan., Aug. 24.—W’. J. Bryan began the day with a speech here at 10:3J a. in. The community is regarded as strongly Republican, but there was a largo audience. Mr. Bryan said he preferred speaking to Republicans on the principle that it is always right to save ‘brands from the burning.’ He believed most Re publicans would leave their parly when convinced that they could so serve there country better than by remaining in it. In the first place, hr said, the Republi can party had been a silver party, now it had become a gold standard party. It had supported the greenbacks, now it proposes to substitute a bank currency for the greenbacks. It had, heretofore, de nounced trusts, now Its leaders were found generally defending the trusts. Speaking of trusts, he asked what the individual Republicans, especially the Republican farmers, w’ere getting out of the trusts. Imperinlism Must Have Force. "We do not object to the honest accu mulation of wealth,” he said. ”1 want a government that gives every poor man the hope of being rich some day, a gov ernment that gives the rich man assur ance that his children will he protected if they ever become poor. What I ob ject to is a government that protects a few* men in their robbery of the masses and then denounces everybody as an an archist that does not like to lie robbed. “I want. you Republican to see what change has been made in the Republican party. You Republicans rec ognize that there has been a transforma tion in the purposes. If you cannot eee the change that has taken place in your party's position on the economic ques tions, I am going to ask if you can see the change that has taken place in your party’s position on these new questions that hove come up since, the Spanish war.” (Applause.) Does Not Object to Honesty. He declared that a jfollcy of imperial ism 1h impossible without a large army. “When the government comes from the people.” he said, “the people will come from their hemes to support it, but when you build 1 on brute force you have got to have an army to prevent the people making faces t you. “If we are to resort to imperialism :n the Philippines in order -to get the trade of those islands, is it not reasonable to suppose that the same policy will be brought into requisition to get the trade of other countries?” Then the speaker said: "When an American boy dies for lib erty his mother thanks God thot he gave her strength to bear and rear a son for such noble sacrifice, but what American mother wants to raise boys at so much per head? That is what imperialism means. I believe in the exjxmsion of trade; I want this country to extend her trade, but I would not put one American citizen on the auction block and sell him for all the trade of the Orient if I had to buy it by hie blood.” (Great appluuee.) Mr. Bryan asserted # thar die Republi cans are evading the question of finance and said that after having asserted over and over again that the silver ques tion is dead, they brought it to life far beyond the predictions of Democrats. Im portant as was tha< issue, it could not he used to prevent adequate discussion of issues of more pressing questions. In closing, Mr. Bryan said: Destruction in th Past. “The splendors of an empire have lured governments on to destruction in the past. We do not want 'the splendors of an empire; we want a government of the people, by the people and for the people. This is glory enough for us. (Applause.) And w’hen Republicans tell you what we are go’ng to do and bow we are going to reach out nnd go into lands for their exploration, your remember that passage from the Scripture, and you can para phrase It by an answer they cannot meet, ‘What shall It profit us if we gain he whole world and lose the spirit w'hleh prizes liberty as an heritage to all men in all lands everywhere?’ ” BIIYAN WARNED THE CROWD. He Hml Spied Pickpocket From the ( nr Pin (form. Beatrice, Neb., Aug. 21.—A somewhat exciting incident marked Mr. Bryan’s first stop in hD own state on his return from the Topeka notification meeting tol day. This incident was the detection by Mr. Bryan of a pickpocket in active pur suit of his vocation, a lively chase through the car for the thief and his capture and his subsequent escape. The incident occurred at the village of Barnes ton, on the line of the Union Pacific. As the train slowed up Mr. Bryan appeareo on the platform of the Inst car. lie was shaking hands with the people, when there was a suspicious movement In the center of the assemblage. “lookout for ihose pickpockets.” shout ed the Democratic lender, remembering his experience with this cla'-s four years ago. He had not pointed out any partic ular person, hut three or four men started immedabely to move through the crowd. The movement excited the attention of p<*>ple in the crowd and also those on (he train, and everybody gave chase. One man Jumped on the train, but as he did so he fell Into the arms of HherlfT W'adding ton of the county in which the theft oc curred. The train was getting under four headway, when the prisoner dashed down the crowded aisle of the car, jumped off and escaped. BROKE AT MARYSVILLE. Republican Party Ready to “Flop” When Instructed. Marysville, Kan., Aug. 24.—Mr Bryan arrived her# on a epeclal train from Man hattan this afternoon and after wards de livered a apeecn to the people of thia vicinity. He wae greeted by couaideraWe gatherings at points en route. At Ran dolph he made a five-minute speech, in which he compared the Republican party to an association of athletes trained to turn somersaults in concert whenever the leaders say “flop’’ with the party. At Blue Rapids he quoted the scriptural pas sage “Whom the Lord loveth he chasten eth' as God's authority for thrashing the Republican party at the November elec tion. His Marysville speech covered the gen eral range op public questions. NOT MADF. FOR HANNA. Mr. Br>nn Doe* Not Believe It of the 111 l|i in os. Men trice, Neb..

More than usual attention was given to the legislation con cerning For to Rico. He used this ns an fi.ustratlon of what the Republican patty would do In other countries if the opi>or- Irnltv should offer. This legislation he M'garded os a specimen of imperlaUm. and a good illustration of what could l>e uccompnshed by h Republican Congress Speaking of the Filipinos. Mr. Bryan asked: “Republicans, are you not ashamed to say that God would make Filipinos and leave them thousands of years until Hanna found them.” Mr. Bryan will leave Beatrice to-mor row morning for Lincoln, and in the after noon hr goes to Omaha where he spraks ai night.
