W i hlngton, Srpi. 1-The entire course
ot negotiations on Ihr Chinese que.nlon Is
i.,v dependent upon the responses o{ the
j . is lo the Russo-Amerlenn proposals.
It nuts stated authoritatively at the
e of ofte ml hours to-day that no an

,, luslve character heretofore announe
, Moreover, It 1* stated by responsl-

i Dilations assume any deltnhc form, as
t lasi answer may prove to l* the dis
, i from an International accord toward
v , h all efforts are now betidinic.
Much Interest was aroused to-day by
t dispatch from Bt. Petersburg giving
, full lexl of the Russian proposal, as
it cleared up some discrepancies which had
• - led owing 10 ihe oral nature of the
, mmunlcalton made to this government
I . ihe Russian charge. By far Ihe most
t .portent correction It makes la In dls
. i-.ng that Russia has not ordered her
I.nlster and troops to withdraw "from

l raphrase of the proposed, but that she
Intends to recall M. de filers and hi staff
to Tien •fsln." whither they will be ac
m panted by Ihe Kusalan troops. In
, curt Russia has not announced a purpose
, . withdraw from China, but only from
! kin.
Plan Will he Concurred In.
As ihe negotiations progress, the view
I- irengthenol among officials that Ihe
I -so-American plan of withdrawing
Pekin, wta ulllmaiely be conrurr and
by all of the Power*. In diplomatic
i rters this outcome Is looked upon as
I Ucally assured. It la pointed out
t If Ihe-Russian. American and Japu
i troops are withdrawn from Pekin.
th Mist Powers would no have to* men
there, which would be a force
, adequate |o garrison and defend
t!, petal. The British force now at Pe-
V said lo number 3,600 men and Ihe
t; m.m force la only a few hundred. On
t ether hand, the Uusslan and Japanese
, nr ..tils are very large and with their
i clrawal the main sfrength of the al-
I .t Pekin would bo taken away. As
m i r-r of necessity, therefore, It Is held
t. at the withdrawal of the larger forces
v ; compel the smaller forces of Ureal

time.

It Is pointed out that the withdrawal from

AA alflersee,
(Copyright. 1900. by the Associated Pres* 1
Berlin, Sept. L—The German press to
full of articles commenting on the taiest
turn of the China question, which Is gen
erally construed as marking the begin
ning ot serious lack of harmony be
tween tho Powers. whose Chinese
Interests sre colliding In too many
points to enable them to maintain a unit
ed front lengthily.
Ruwlr t sudden change of attitude came
here as a complete aurprlse, since the
latest previous utterance* of Russia seem
ed to denote a continuant-* of th* closest
Russo-German relations on Ihe subject ot
China, although It was known hero that
the unmeasured von AA'aldersee Idolatry
and the putting by Emperor William ot
the onus for von Wablersce* appoint
ment upon the Csar, as well a* the con
tinued Increase of the German for vs In
China, and Emperor William’s Impulsive
farewell speeches, had greatly displeased
Russian government circles. Including Ihe
Csar.
Von Walderse* has been sent as the
Emperor's personal man to China, rather
against the wishes of Count von Buelow.
th* minister of foreign affairs, who dis
approves of the ••polttlco-dtplomailro
generaltoslmo.” whose hand In China may
upset all Calint von Buelow has been abie
to do. Nevertheless, the Emperor ex
pects that von Waldersee, after hi* ar
rival In China, will take his Instructions
solely from him and carry out His Majes
ty's personal Ideas regarding the Chlneae
situation. Vr. Buelow repeatedly pro
tested against this arrangement, though
unavalltngly.
t rlflrlßct of the Emperor.
It would he a mistake to believe the
Emperor therein has the Indorsement of
th* majority of the nation. On the con
trary. everythin* points otherwise. The
nation to embittered at His Majesty's con
tinued Ignoring of th* Reichstag. An
overwhelming part of Ihe press dally dis
approves of Emperor Williams personal
Chinese policy, even including th* conserv
ative and Jingo nationalistic press. The
Kreux Zeltung consistently demands that
the Chinese policy he of narrower limils,
and the Deutsche Tage. Zeltung says con
ditions which allow the -'sola const It tit ion
nUy responsible person," vis, the Impe
rial Chancellor, "to absent himself during
the moat critical times." and which "Ig
nore the office's alma and declaration*
und also Ignore the Reichstag," are
"hardly bearable.’’ Many patters of alt
shades talk similarly.
A foreign office official said to the eorre
epomlent of the Associated I’reea to-day:
"Germany does not Interpret the United
States answer to Russia’s note as meaning
the withdrawal of the United (bate* from
the entente of the Power*. Naturally when
eight Powers act together U Is Impossible
for all to have the same Idea* at the same
time. Any new propoeltton must lead to
an Interchange of optntonw to reach an
agreement which will be Ihe result this
time."

WiMtnM't task as unforestalled by re
cent event*. He will become commander
in-chief of all the foreign troop* in Pe

sia does, not propose to withdraw from
that province, hut only to Tien Tsin.
It to said that the German mlntoter to
China is still at Shanghai, and that It I*
left to him to ilecld* to slay there or go
elsewhere. Ask'd whether the minister
would conduct the peace negotiations In
behalf of Germany, the foreign office offi
cial previously referred to. answered:
"No peace negotiations are In proapert."

of the compalgn to Indiana.
He arrived ut thto point a f< w minutes

briefly at Jaiporte, en route, and here
more at length to-night. He enthu
siastically received nt l>oth places and
both at Laporte and South Bend, the au
diences wetv large In *l*e and compli

manner of receiving the speichrs. At

re.ddenoe of Hon B F. Bhlvely, whore
h, was Introduced to members of tho re
ception committee and other prominent
cltlsens
At l.aporte, Mr Bryan's arrival was an
nounced by filing of anvils and the ahoute
of a multitude of people who hud gathered
at the railroad station. A platform had
t,*o er< clod near Ihe depot ar.d from this
Mr Bryan talked for about ten minutes,
while the train took on a dining car. He
did not attempt to make a set speech in
this brief period, but contented himself
with pointing out what he denominated
the Ineonslstincte* of the Republican
parly and the means of meeting Ihelr ar
guments. He said: I
"If a Republican tells you that a perma
nent debt Is u good thing, you tell him
that In all the campaigns of the past the
Republican party has been bragging a><>ul
how it paid off the national debt and
that vet to-day th* Republican party
stands for a currewy system that can
only make It permanent, for you cannot
have banknotes secured by government
bonds unless there are government bonds
to secure them."
This suggestion called out applause.
"If a Repuhll' an tells you that It to a
good thing ta have a largo standing
army." al<7 Mr Be van. "you tell him llisi
until Ihl* campaign the Republicans have
always pointed to the advantage of not
having a large standing army, remind
him that when a Republican I’reskleoi
went into office that W had an nrmv
of Si.ooo soldier*, and that same President
asked for a standing army of Wt.l*o sol
diers In December. I*l6. four times the
standing army the country had v tiert lie
was Inaugurated, and then remind him
of the fact that If wo are to have Im
perialism we will never ha-.e a smaller
elan,ling army tba:i wo have now. Taa
rumn spirit that !eada us to take
•don of the Philippine I .land* and govern
them without ,h'-tr content and tax them
without represent*!'on, will lead u* to
seito any other Ir.nds weaker than we
are.
The Jeffersonian Itlen,
"If a Republican tell# you that Impe
rtahem Is the same a* the expansion that
Jefferson sought for, you tell him that
Jefferson wanted to expand the llmtu, of
roe republic and to build up Ihe terri
tory In'.o states, and thul he wanted the
inhabitants to be cltlsens and tn share In
the guarantees of Iho constitution, white
th'. Republican party has already enact
ed a law In regard to Porto Rico ehat
rests upon thr theory that outside of the
forty-live state* the President and Con
gress have power aa unlimited a* any
despot ever exercised In any part of the
world. (Applause.)
"If any Republican attempts to Jnafl
fy tlte Porto Rican policy, you tell him
*h*t when we fount) the people of Porto
Rice, they had representatives In the
Bpanlsh legislature and that we now r<
fun* to give them representatives |r< our
legislature. When wc found the Porto
Ricans they had free trade with their
mother country, but now wo refuse to
give them free trade wMh the United
Stales, although they mult swear allegi
ance to our flag."
Here dr Bryan was reminded thaf hto
tlm* wa* brief. H* closed a* follows:
"I want to suggest two questions for
you to use with thoue ovho defend the

Meeting at Nonth Rend.
The meeting at Bouth find to-night was
held In tha Court House ground*. A
thunderstorm, which struck th* city
about 7 o'clock, threateaol to drive the
people Inside, but Mr. Bryan expressed
preference for an outside meeting, not
withstanding more rain was threatened,
ar.d hla wishes were ac . d.d to. lie had
a fine audience reg.irdlrs* of the unto
ward condition*. The people stood ankle
deep In the wet grass and mud tn many
place*, but they generally remained quiet
and In a listening attitude throughout
the entire meeting
Mr. Bhiveley presided. H* contented
himself with a mere presentation of Mr.
Bryan. Th* sperrh was a general discus
slow of th* campaign, but especial atten
tion wa* glvqer, to the consideration of
th* paramount lasu*. Thto. he Insisted,
was the question of Imperialism and he
likewise Insisted that the Republicans
were doing all they could to evade this is
sue. Mr. Bryan declared that they were
doing all In their power to convince the
country that finances were tne Isscaa al
stake Thto they were doing not withstand
ing their declaration that silver to a <tead
Issue. lie himself had predicted that
they would find It a very lively corps-,
but he had never dreamed of Its becoming
so vivified at it had been by the Bepjb
-1 lea ns
As for hlmseir he had never doubted
that the position of th* Ksnsaa City plat
form was correct, but whli* this was true
It was still a fact that the tendency to Im
perialism was of more Immediate concern
than th* question of the flnancee. In that
pr b>m wa* comprised th* perpetuity of
lb* republic—^whether w* should have a
republican government or not He also
discussed th* question of trust*, the In
crease of the army and other points at
Ist ue. contending 'hat th* Republicans had
uu both aid** of the** quasUoua. U*
declared that If th* Republicans should
win at the n. xt election there would never
afuln h e a standing army ot less than
lilUtt) men. Already ilv Increase had been
fonr fold and the fact that Ihe Increase
lia,l not I Hen ntude permanent w a due to
the Democrats and their allle If. he
sahl we are to maintain an Imperial pol
icy we must have a large army. If we are
lo get rid of the army we mud get rid of
the principle which make- It necessary If
wo go upon the theory that wa shall eith
er conquer trade or force our religion
upon other nations wo have got to have

Double Manilaril In Government.
Tho truth was that the Republican*
who had Inveighed so much against u
double-standard In money were trying
ti create a douhlt-stundard In govern
ment; they were contending for democ
racy and for it mild despotism In the Isles
of tho sea. Ha elaborated his former
discourse upon the question of whether a
Filipino cdtlien was a eltlien or n sub
ject. Mr. Itrynn said that tho Bpoonor
rosolutlon moon* that "When the war I*
over—nobody knows when It will he, Ihe
President will do something— nobody
knows what, and will keep at It—no tody
knows how long—until t’ongress does
something nobody can guess that. Re
publicans.” he added, "aren't you asham
ed of that policy?"
Mr. Rryan defended Ids course In ad
vocating Ihe ratltlcailnn of the peace
treaty, saying that he considered II pref
erable lo have the treaty ratified to hav
ing another made by the same parlies,
believing It better to eliminate Bpain from
the question entirely. He had at the
same time advocated the adoption of the
liacon resolution. Hepuldicnna who had
opp, w'd that resolution must take the
reiponslMUty for all Ihe hkssl shed In
the Philippines, for the loss of Ihe 3.0n
Americans who had been killed or wound
ed there. The contractor* -those who car
ried live soldiers to the Philippines and
brought buck dead soldiers—might And It
profitable, hut tlie taxpayers would not
so regard It. The policy was good, neith
er because It was just, nor politic.
"Deny if you dare the doctrine that all
men are created equal. In the Philippines,
and you are going to find yourselves un
ahte to maintain It here," he eald, "and
destroy the doctrine ami von are all st

As for himself he was satisfied with
the progress whlctt had been made, and
h would not exchange the American
government for all the empire* that ever
existed. If the Prescient, could haul

Hn lineal lon of the Treaty.
Mr Bryan’* word* In referring o hto
connection wllh the ratification of the
Paris treatv were aa follows:
"I lotv* been accus'd lately of getting
I lie treaty ratified and aome of you may
have heard It mild lhal having helped (o
gel the treaty railflad. I am responsible
for all that ha* happened since. If that
treaty was good, and If It ought to
have been rstlthst, why don't the Repub
lican* es*um* Ihe re*pon*lblllty ? But.
my friends. I am |>erfeetly willing fo a*-'
sume th responsibility for the railltra
tlon of that treaty. If the Republican par
ly want* to shirk the responsibility lam
not responsible for Hie tteaty. The treaty
was not a good treaty. It ought to have
provided for the Independence of
Flilplnos. a* II provided for the inde
pendence of Ihe Cuban*, and your admin-
Itwruilon to responsible for the fact that
w* treated the Cuban* a a cHlxens and
the Filipino* a* subjects. The only ques
tion wan: 'What was the best method
to employ In order lo remedy the defects
of ihe treaty?' There were two ways
open. On# was to reject th* treaty.
Then what? Then anew treaty would
have been made. Who would have made
It? The same administration that made
th* old on* and Bpain I argued that If
was better lo ratify Mi* treaty and elimi
nate Bpain and then let the Amrrlcin peo
ple do what they would compel the people
of Bpain to do. But. my friends, have
you ever heard n Reputilbvin state that
at the same time I urged the ratlfleatlon
of the treaty I also urged th* passage of
a resolution declaring the nation a pur
pose of giving Ihe Filipinos Indepepd
roc*? Th* Republican* are not willing
to sta'* to >pu al] I waa willlrg to do; and
I state now, and I want you Republicans
to think aloiit It that If the Bacon reso
lution which I advocated, had parae I whip
