CURRENT COMMENT.
Note* Political mill Otlicrwine on
Matter* of Public Intercut.
By Andrew J. Palm.
The Philadelphia Times, which does
not pretend to be friendly to Bryan,
admits that he will poll at least one
third more votes in Philadelphia in
1900 than he did in '96. This is con
siderable of an admission for a gold
standard, Imperialistic organ.
If the flag must never be hauled
down when once raised, as our jingo
statesmen insist, Old Glory finds itself
in a peculiar predicament. It now
floats over a fourth of Tien Tsin. and
yet Emperor Hanna declares that he
does not intend to annex China by
"benevolent" assimilation or other
wise.
Mark Hanna says that the trusts
have the best men of the country at
their head and he believes in their or
ganization. Of course where a man's
treasure is there his heart is also, and
Mark expects the trusts to put up the
treasure on which he bases his hope
of carrying the country for a second
term of imperialism.
The Republican national platform
condemns all improper trusts; but
when demanding tribute for the cam
paign Marcus Aurelius Hanna will bo
able to convince them that there are
no bad trusts, and that they do not
come under the ban of Mr. Hanna's
platform. Nothing is improper in Re
publican eyes that contributes to Re
publican success.
Teddy Roosevelt's sympathy with
Taylor, the Kentucky outlaw, received
a severe stab when the Kentucky Re
publicans failed to nominate Mr. Tay
lor again as their candidate for gov
ernor. Kentucky Republicans wouldn't
hesitate to nominate a man simply be
cause he is charged with murder, but
the trouble was they couldn't locate
Taylor long enough to get him nomi
nated.
The Boers are mostly Presbyterians,
and a very faithful and zealous lot of
worshipers. We hear a great cry from
the pulpit regarding the few Presby
terian missionaries that have been kill
ed recently in China, and that is only
natural; but strange to say there is
scarcely a minister to utter his protest
against the wholesale slaughter of
Presbyterians by the British in the
Transvaal. Is it any worse to he done
to death by a British spear in the
hands of a heathen Chinaman than to
have the act performed by an alleged
civilized Englishman?
We send missionaries to all the world
to teach a religion which many of the
nations will not receive and which we
ourselves do not practice. The Phila
delphia North American a few days
ago declared that there Is not one place
in Philadelphia where a homeless, re
fined woman without money can find
shelter. The religion that raises mil
lions of dollars to send to foreign
shores for the conversion of those who
never can be rightly converted and ig
nores Ignorance, suffering and desti
tution at its own doors cannot appeal
strongly to the reasoning portion of
mankind.
Does any reasonable man wonder
that here Is trouble in China? The
greater wonder is that it did not occur
sooner. With Russia, England, Ger
many and France demanding a slice
of Chinese territory, and the United
States' expansion fingers declaring for
expansion and open doors all over the
world, is it strange that the ignorant
and superstitious hordesof China should
conclude that the sooner the foreign
devils are driven out the better it will
be for China? We condemn In the
heathen the very things we would have
done a great deal sooner under similar
circumstances.
The platform that denounces trusts
and at the same time praises the agency
that creates them is an example of gall
ami inconsistency not equalled outside
the political literature conceived by
Mark Hanna. The Philadelphia plat
form, In a cowardly, misleading way,
attempts to create the impression that
the Republican party of Hanna, Me-
Kinley, Quay and Tom Piatt is opposed
to trusts. At.' the same time these
worthies could not find words strong
enough to sound the praises of the
Dlngley bill, under whose benign in
fluence over 650 trusts have been or
ganized. with a capitalization of
$5,000,000,000. This is more than eight
times all the gold money of the coun
try and more than two and a half
times all the money of the United
States. The Dingley bill has proved a
great success for the millionaire pro
ducers like Carnegie, Hanna, Rocke
feller and Havemyer.

A New MVNNHKC From Conner.
Washington, Aug. 17. —In nil proba
bility the ministers are now in the hands
of the allies. If they have not left Pe
king by this time, it is due to necessary
delay in preparing for the moving of so
large a body of people, including the 3,000
native Christians whom Minister Conger
has declared he will not abandon.
The officials of the government are con
vinced of this. It is true that negotia
tions are still nominally proceeding be
tween the American ami Chinese govern
ments and that a memorandum was sent
through Minister Wu to Li Hung Chang
in reply to one received from Li, but the
highest officers of the administration ad
mitted yesterday that this communica
tion will probublr not reach Li Ilung
Chang or the Chinese government until
after the ministers are in the hands of
the allies.
The allies reached Peking yesterday be
yond doubt. The first intimation of this
was received in a dispatch from Ad
miral Homey, saying that there were re
ports that the arrival at Peking was set
for the 15th, but all doubt was dissi
pated last evening when the Japanese
minster arrived at the state department
with an official conlirmatipn from his
government.
Whatever the allies have to do at Pe
king, therefore, has already been done or
at least begun. What they had to do
was either to attack the city or to peace
ably take the ministers out.
Every step of the way has been fore
seen by the secretary of war, who has
been the practical head of the govern
ment |in the last fortnight of the crisis
and has been acting practically as secre
tary of state and war.
It has been bis desire and that of the
president to force the Chinese govern
ment into compliance with the American
terms, so that the ministers could he
taken out peaceably. Since last Satur
day he has been in no doubt that his ef
forts would be successful, but at about
the same time he saw that while the Chi
nese government would certainly accede
to his demands in the end tlie.v would
not do so until the allies were almost at
Peking, when it would be impossible to
negotiate owing to the length of time it
takes to get messages through.
Mr. Itoot'N Fore*in lit.
The slow rate at which tile Chinese
yielded, fighting diplomatically every step
of the way, proved this to him. His cal
culations were that they would yield at
last with a rush, but too late. When
they did, it would he impossible to get
instructions through to Chaffee in time
to prevent him from making an attack
in ignorance of the negotiations.
Foreseeing this. Secretary Root took
steps to avert its evil consequences. He
calculated that by the time the allies
passed Tung-cliow and arrived near Pe
king the Chinese government would he
thoroughly panic stricken and would then
propose the appointment of an envoy at
Peking instead of Li Hung Chang. lie
assumed that this envoy would lie au
thorized to enter into negotiations with
the allies and would propose to them
that they send an escort into Peking or
else that the ministers be sent out of Pe
king to them.
Accordingly, he instructed General
Chaffee in advance what he was to do
when these propositions were made. The
general was to receive them as genuine
and to consider himself authorized to ac
cept them. Whether he was to send an
escort into Peking or to receive the min
isters outside the walls was left to his
discretion.
What Secretary Root has so clearly
foreseen canie to pass. Li Hung Chang
notified this government that he had
memorialized the throne to appoint tin
envi v in Peking, and there is not the
slightest doubt that the frightened gov
ernment has already followed his ad
vice.
He also informed the United States
that this envoy was to propose the de
livery of the ministers to an escort of
allies. Undoubtedly the Peking envoy
has already opened negotiations with
Chaffee, who, forewarned by the secre
tary of war, has accepted them or reject
ed them as treacherous and opened fire
on Peking.
\oxt Move Unknown.
What the American forces will do next
is unknown. The statement that they
will withdraw to Tien-tsin is unauthor
izod. No instructions have been sent to
General Chaffee about what he was to
do after the delivery of the ministers,
and n cabinet officer said that that had
not yet been determined.
The American government has devoted'
all its energies and thought to only one
thing—the delivery of the ministers—and
that, thanks childly to its diplomacy and
forethought, is believed to be now accom
plished.
Late last night the department of state
made public the communications ex
changed yesterday between the Chinese
minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, and the
acting secretary of state.
The following memorandum was hand
ed to Mr. A dee by Mr. Wu at 9 o'clock
in the morning:
"A cablegram from Earl Li Hung
Chang, envoy plenipotentiary of China,
dated Aug. 15 and received by Minister
Wu at 7 p. in. on the same day.
"The allied forces are approaching
Tung-chow. I have memorialized the im
perial government to depute envoy to ne
gotiate an armistice with the several
commanders on the spot. I will also
shortly proceed to Peking. The powers,
being fully aware of the embarrassing
position their majesties the empress dow
ager and the emperor are placed, are
earnestly requested to telegraph instruc
tions to their respective commanders aft
er arriving at Tung-chow with their
forces to stop their further advance to
the capital so as not to cause alarm and
fear to their majesties and calamities to
the people, for such advance would shake
the foundations of the Tu Chiug empire
and wound the feelings of all her people,
high and low. For a compliance with this
appeal the millions of people of the em
pire will be profoundly grateful to the
powers. Please communicate this cable
gram at once to the secretary of state."
The following memorandum in reply
WOK bunded to Mr. Wu in the afternoon:
"ForesceliiK I hut there would be insuf
ficient time after receiving a reply to our
memorandum of Aug. 12 to get Instruc
tions to the relief column before it had
reached Peking we sent on the same day
to the general commanding the American
forces in China the following dispatch:
" 'Secretary of war directs me to in
form you that Li Hung Chang, appointed
by the Chinese government to negotiate
with powers, requests cessation of hostili
ties. We have replied that we are ready
to enter into agreement between powers
and Chinese government for cessation of
hostilities on condition that sufficient
body of the forces composing the relief
expedition shall be permitted to enter
Peking unmolested and to escort foreign
ministers and residents bade to Tien tsin,
the movement being provided for and se
cured by such arrangements and disposi
tions of troops as shall be considered sat
isfactory by generals commanding the
forces composing relief expedition. Wc
have communicated this to all the pow
ers. Japanese government takes same
position. We have not heard from other
powers.'
"And two days ago in view of the rapid
progress of the relief expedition we sent
the following to General Chaffee:
General Chaffee's Orders.
" 'ln anticipation of acceptance liy Chi
nese government of condition in our re
ply to them cabled you Aug. 12. If Chi
nese authorities communicate willingness
to deliver ministers and persons under
their protection to relief column at Pe
king, under arrangements which you con
sider safe, you are authorized to make
ami carry out arrangement in concert
with other commanders without referring
it here. From informal communications
with representatives of other govern
ments here we believe all to take sub
stantially same position. Question wheth
er you should insist upon entering Pe
king and going to legations or will re
ceive delivery at gate of inner Tartar
city or at outer wall, taking risk of min
isters passing through city with only Chi
nese escort, you and the other generals
determine.
" 'We are advised by Minister Conger
that the attacks by imperial troops upon
the legations in Peking have not ceased.
While these attacks continue we cannot
stop the advance of our forces toward
Peking. If such attacks cease, the above
quoted instructions will be allowed to
stand, and they would seem to provide
for all the action required under the cir
cumstances stated by Earl Li in bis dis
patch.' "
At the same time the authorities gave
out the latest dispatch from Minister
Conger, received yesterday through the
Chinese minister, Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu re
ceived it nt midnight from the taotai
of Shanghai, by whom it had been receiv
ed byway of Tsi-nan. Aug. 13. It is un
dated, but Would seem to have left Pe
king some time between Aug. 5 and 11.
It reads as follows:
"Secretary of State. Washington—Our
cipher is safe. May it not be sufficient
authenticity? We have been imprisoned
and completely besieged since June 23.
Continued artillery and riffe firing until
July 17: only riffe since, but daily: with
it frequently desperate attacks; one last
night. Have already reported our losses.

MR. BRYAN IS INDORSED
Result of the Anti-imperialist
Convention,
MAT NAME ANOTHER TICKET,
So Called Third Party Men Do Not
Accept tle Action at Indiana polio
and Issue a Call For Anothei
Meet In fg In New York.
Indianapolis, Aug. 17.—The liberty con
gress of the American League of Anti
imperialists yesterday emphatically in
dorsed the candidacy of William J. Bry
an for president. The resolutions to that
effect were read to the convention by
Colonel Charles It. Codman of Massa
chusetts. who moved their adoption after
stating that the entire committee of 25
had indorsed them. The convention, how
ever, did not adopt the platform as sub
mitted by the resolutions committee with
out prolonged and heated debate.
Thomas M. Osborne of Auburn, N. 7.,
leader of the "third ticket" movement,
offered an amendment to strike out in
dorsement of Bryan, and his amendment
was vigorously supported by several del
egates, but when the previous question
was ordered less than a score could be
marshaled to vote against the Bryan in
dorsement. The vote was viva voce, and
its exact result will never be known, but
the sentiment of the convention was
clearly shown as being in favor of the in
dorsement of Bryan as the most effective
manner of checking the alleged imperial
istic policy of the administration.
The most vigorous opponents of the
Bryan pronouncement in the platform
were cdlispicuous members of the Nation
al or third ticket convention, who were
also admitted as delegates to the anti
imperialist congress. They wore led by
Thomas M. Osborne and advocated the
nomination of a third ticket on the theo
ry that their followers while opposed to
Resident McKinley were not prepared to
accept Mr. Bryan on the Kansas City
platform.
Some Opposition.
Colonel (Diaries K. Codman and Edwin
Burrit Smith were the chief proponents
of the platform as reported, claiming that
all political questions were now subordi
nate to the one question of imperialism
and that all opposed to the present ad
ministration should unite to overthrow it
in tin l most effective and available man
ner presented.
Every mention of Mr. Bryan's name in
the convention called forth enthusiastic
applause.
After the adoption of the resolution in
dorsing Bryan the representatives of the
third party movement met in the assem
bly room of the Commercial club and se
lected Thomas M. Osborne of New York
for permanent chairman and Everett V.
Abbott of New York for permanent sec
retary. A motion was made and carried
that a convention he held in New York
city Sept. 5 for the purpose of nominat
ing a ticket.
It is said that the third party men of
fered the presidential nomination to
Moorfield Storey of Massachusetts, but
that Mr Storey declined the honor. Wil
liam I. Calmer of Colorado was reported
to be their choice for vice president. The
lenders of the movement said that they
expected a largo representation at their
convention in New York on Sept. 5 and
that candidates for president and vice
president would then surely be nominat
ed.
Louis It. Enrich of Colorado presided
at the public meeting held in the even
ing. The large crowd present ma infest
ed much enthusiasm at the introduction
of Charles A. Towne. the speaker of the
evening, and the applause throughout his
address was generous and frequent.

New Id'iih fn ii d rcNNlng.
There Is n perfect fad in Paris at
present for having the hair waved
from the forehead clear back to the
crown of the head. This softens the
features and makes any plain face
beautiful when the .waves are well
made. This new style of waving the
hair produces also a pompadour effect.
The hair is parted in the middle or a
little to one side and is all so Huffy that
one would think great cushions ol' false
hair had been laid beneath. When
properly waved, the hair has a fluted
appearance not unlike the fluting of a
beautiful rutllo, only these waves ex
tend in graceful curves from the tip of
car to the very crown of the head, and
the mass of the hair may be coiled or
knotted rather high or low, as best
suits the shape of the head, says the
Pittsburg Press. The ornaments for
the hair at present consist of out
stretched wings of hntlike shape in
tulle sparkling with silver or diamonds.
Algiets sparkling with diamonds are
very fashionable, also a double bunch
of flowers. This last style is very be
coming. Small pink roses or forgetme
nots are mounted flat and are used on
either side of a fancy comb.
Cnre of I'atcnl Leathers.
Pnteut leather shorn may. It is Bald,
bo beautifully cleaned and also pre
served from crack Im; by I lie use of a
French harness polish which may ho
bought at any harness maker's. Most
shoe dealers will admit that there is a
great deal of luck in buying these
shoes, and that their durability do
ponds largely on the care with which
they are treated. Cold or dryness
cracks them. II seems a pity that this
leather should have achieved the vogue
that it has In the dress wardrobe of
both inea aud women, for Its effect
upon the feet is both harmful ami un
comfortable. With it should always ho
worn thin and line hosiery, and never
Should shoes he made from it to bo
