Vet there have been warnings upon warnings, unheeded. Food has like a heavy weight in the stomach after eating. There have been belch- ings, bitter risings in the mon ounsness, sleeplessness and growing tability. Instead of listening to these warnings, recourse has been had to some of the nerve numbing liatives that cover but never cure disease. Many serious diseases begin in a diseased con- dition of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition, For such dis- eases there is one medicine which rarely fails to effect a complete cure.

Should each nation present its claim individually and attempt to en- force it by its own methods, confusion would arise and the danger of the seizure of territory might be very serious. gotiations should be intrusted to an international bedy.

For nearly an hour the Minister wag closeted with Acting Secreta Hill and Assistant Secretary Adee, the door being locked meantime and not even the messengers allowed entrance. None of the parties to the cenference was communicative, but at its conclusion Dr. Hill repaired to the White House with a portfolio well filled with papers. or several hours preceding the Minis- ter's visit Acting Secretary Hill and As- sista S stary Adee had been engaged in a conference, and it was gathered that the negotiations relative to China were approaching another phase and that an- other pronouncement of some kind was in ed States made its response to the Rus- sfan note on August 20, the officlals here expressed the belief that a week's time would be required to determine upon the next ep d at the end of that time it would be definitely known whether or not troops were to be withdrawn from That period of time has now The reports from the European “hancellorfes indicate that, officially at least, this important subject is being treated with the greatest deliberation and at least another wi and probably even more time may be consumed in framing the last of the answers to the Russian note.

General Chaffee ot through a dispatch, dated September at Peking, indicating that courlers are 1, | till employed to close the telegraph line of communication between Tientsin and Peking. This dispatch made no mention of the military situation and it was in- ferred that affairs In Peking remain quiet. The message commends Colonel Aaron Daggett, Fourteenth United States In- fantry, for hig gallantry at Yangtsun and for gallantry and excellent supervision of the attack on the tesof the imperial city August 15. General Chaffee recom- mends that he be made a brigadier gen- eral, U. 8. A. Colonel Daggett has nine months to serve before attaining sixty- . It promoted brigadier general, General Chaffee states, Colonel Daggett will gladly accept retirement immediately. If this Government is taking any meas- ures urging the return of the imperial family to Peking the responsible officials decline to make any statement on the sub- ject. Such a step, however, on the part of the Chinese officials, it is pointed out, Wwould be highly desirable and might be an important factor in facilitating the progress of negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the existing troubles. With the responsible heads of the Chinese em- pire at the capital 2ity in direct communi- cation with the representatives of the ellicd powers muck more satisfactory re- sults could be accomplished than hy ne- gotiating with subordinates. Nothing came to the State Department to-day from Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai confirmatory of the press report that Li Hung Chang has asked for an American escort to Peking. In the ab- sence of notification of such a request the officials here prefer not to make any state- ment as to the reception of such a re- quest. The situaticn at Amoy, Chipa, having apparently cleared up considerably, the Navy Department to-day instructed Ad- miral Remey to dispose as he deems best of the gunboat Castine, which was sent to that port some days ago when the Japa- rese landed marines. The Castine was on her way to the Cavite naval station when the troubles at Amoy threatened to become acute and was diverted to the latter place to look out for American in- tere The statement was made to-night that no new note had been sent to the powers by this Government on the Chinese situ- ation. The United States, animated solely With the purpose of having an early set- tlement of the Chinese question, prefers that the armies of the allied powers should remain in Peking until a settlement is definitely reached, but it is reiterated that should any .nation withdraw its (r{)cps, then our Government will do like- wise. RUSSIA’S PROGRAMME CONCERNS MANCHURIA TLLONDON, Sept. 8, 4:15 a. m.—The Chi- nese crisls presents no new feature this mornirg. Nothing appears to be certain . s | regarding Russian action. Various state- inents are made in Vienna and Berlin with an assumed air of authority, but the bal- ance of opinion leans to the belief that Russia is still inclined to adhere to her | decision to quit Peking. whatever the other powers may do. The studlpusly moderate tone of Empe- ror Willlam's speech at Stettin is much remarked. There rothing of the “malfled fist" or of revenge in his utter- ances. According to the Standard’s Moscow correspondent, R s programme main- ly concerns nchuria, and she needs troops from Peking to assist in the seizure of that province, which is looked upon as another Egypt. Her withdrawal from Peking is considered an attempt to pose as a sincere adherent of the principles of The Hague conference. The Tientsin correspondent of the Stand- ard, wiring August 30, ys: “The Ger- mans paired with the erfcans in the march through the forbidden city. The the legation guards left Peking to-day.” The Peking correspondent of the Morn- ing Post, in a dispatch dated August 23, says Mr. Conger has written a letter a: serting that without the aid of the Ameri- can missionaries the defense of the lega- tions would have been impossible. GERMANY BELIEVES RUSSIA WILL YIELD BERLIN, Sept. 7.—Evidently the Ger- man Foreign Office reckons with the pos- sibilty that Russia will yield to the argu- ments of the powers and will not with- draw her troops from Peking. Discussing this question to-day, a high official of the Foreign Office say “G does Sermany not understand the Washington dispatches to mean that the United States intends troops. As far as Russia is concerned it must be borne in mind that she does not put forth her proposition of withdrawal as a sine qua non, but only tentatively and for the purpose of discussion.” Emperor Willlam's speech at Stettin to- day Is Interpreted here to mean that his plan of overcoming the present difficulty in China will be adopted by the powers. This goes to show—as has been claimed all along—that Germany is following the personal policy of the Kalser in the China matter. A number of leading journals condemn such a course as in contraven- tion of the constitution of the empire. The Gegenwart, a high-class periodical, con- cludes an article signed *“Apolitikos” as follows “Surely it is high time to determine the question whether our political life can still be justly called constitutional or whether we are steering toward absolutism.” From the present instructions of the Na- val Department, Germany will make the strongest naval demonstration ever made at Shanghai, namely, ten warships with 2200 men and 166 guns. Of these vessels four will be large cruisers, four others will be somewhat smaller and two will be gun- boats. A special dispatch from Amoy says that both the Japanese and English marines thing there is quiet. Special dispatches to the Cologne Ga- zette announce that all classes of the Chi- nese population believe that the Chinese have been victorious over the allied troops. Striking illustrations of this are given. FATE OF SOME MISSION WORKERS YET IN DOUBT NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Robert E. Speer, one of the secretaries of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Misslons, received a let- ter to-day from David J. Hill, assistant Secretary of State, dated Washington, September 6. Mr. Hill says: “Your letter of the 4th inst. asking in- formation concerning the missionaries at Paoting-Fu and particularly concerning Dr. C. V. Hodge and his wife, who are thought to be in Peking, has been re- celved. The department has had no defin- ite Information concerning the mission- arles at Paoting-Fu since the telegram from Consul General Goodnow at Shang- hai, dated July 27 yast. In that telegram Mr. Goodnow stated that an officlal tele- gram recelved at Shanghai on the 16th reported all foreigners and many native Christians killed at Paoting-Fu; mission burned. The Americans named were the Simcox family, Taylor, Pitkin, Misses Gould and Morrill. “In view of the many urgent inquirles of the friends of Dr. and Mrs. Hodge—not mentioned in Mr. Goodnow's telegram—. the department telegraphed on August 22 to Mr. Conger, asking whether they were in Peking. To this telegram no reply has been received. On August 28, the reports recefved from China from various sources concerning the Paoting-Fu missionaries being conflicting, the department again telegraphed to Minister Conger, directing him to ascertain their fate if possible and if any were alive to endeavor to send re- lief. There has not been sufficient time as yet to have received a reply to this in- COMPROMISE HAS A PROMISE OF SUCCESS PARIS, Sept. T.—Active negotiations are in progress looking to some compromise arrangement with Russia regarding the position she has assumed toward Peking. The communications exchanged between the powers now have better promise of success. The compromise suggested, it is asserted here, Is the withdrawal of the forces of all the powers from Peking, leaving an international guard to protect the legations pending a peace settlement. The main body of troops, it is also said, will retire to the neighborhood of Tien- tsin, leaving sufficient forces along the road to keep the route open and protect the railroad between Peking and Tientsin.

Now | that a proposal more in conformity with | the original American recommendation | has apparently met with the approbation of at least a majority of the powers, the British Forelgn Office has allowed it to become definitely known that the British Government is of the opinion that it is advisable for the allied forces to remain at Peking until satisfactory arrangements for peace, etc., are concluded with the Chinese Governiment. |RUSSIA SAID TO AGREE IILCOMPROMISE LONDON, Sept. 8.—It is asserted at the Austrian Foreign Office, according to the Vienna correspondent of the Daily Mail, that Russia has agreed to compromise, leaving a portion of the troops in Peking and sending the main body to Tientsin, which will be the military headquarters. ——— ARRIVAL OF TRANSPORTS.

It is feared that the crews | of at least two vessels were swept over- board, about thirty smiles south of here. The barkentine Culboon of St. John, N. | B., laden with 330,000 feet of lumber, is ashore five miles gouth of Casyfoot light, about thirty-five sniles south of Miami. She is waterlogged. The Culboon was driven by the force of the waves over one of the reefs forming the inner passage, and is lying In twelve feet of water. Noth- ing has been heard of her crew. The Cul- boon encountered the hurricane Wednes- day morning. At 10:20, after losing her rudder and nearly all her canvas, the ves- sel was hurled upon the rocks. Three miles south of the Culboon is a deserted lumber-laden bark, which strand- ed during the night of the 5th. The crew, it is feared, was swept overboard during the storm. The vessel has a_ windmill, a?d is consequently thought to be Norwe- glan. POPE LEO TO REWARD PROOFS OF DEVOTION Important Changes Pending in the Fourteen Catholic Provinces of This Country. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—There are some important changes pending among the fourteen Catholic provinces of this country, which, it 1s learned, will be defi- nitely announcedafter Archbishop Kean.'s return from Europe. For the first time since the Vatican council assembled at Rome, in 1869, the influx of American pre- lates has been steady during the present %“" and it is authoritatively stated that ope Leo is deeply impressed with the re- ports which all of them have made con- cerning their Sees. In fact, the Pope has never met so many members of the hier- archy from this country during a single rear before since his ~accession to the apacy. On this account he has been sen- sibly touched by their Y.rwh of devotion to him, and it Is said he intends to em- hasize his appreciation of their loyalty By Conferring further religlous favors upon the United States. The creation of Omaha as an archdio- cese will be officially announced soon while the indications are that there will be further foundations of Episcopal sees in Towa, California, New York and Pénn- sylvania. It ia-understood that Archbishop Rior- dan of San Francisco Is to be given a oo- adjutor Bishop at an early date. The probable appointment is Dr. George Mont- gomery of Los Angeles, who has been acting head of the St. Louls archdiocese during the absence of its incumbent, Dr. Keane, in Europe. A number of monsignors or domestic prelates of the Pope likewise will be ap- pointed in various parts of the country soon. @++H+ 444444444444 4440 -4 Valda,” the sensational story of court life at Peking, begins in next Sunday’s Call, September 9. % Gtt++ttttttttttset it + + + + K2 + | side. | the riots he did not purpose to allow the | McKINLEY WILL NOT DODGE THE ISSUES Acceptance His Views on Imperialism and Money Are Set Forth Fully.

They have found what they have been looking for in Mr. leaders have been some impression committing him on this Bryan's short speech at Zanesville, Ohio, September 5, when he said: “The party stands where it did in 189 on the money question,” This single declaration, Republicans contend, vitalizes every word that Bryan uttered in 159 on the silver issue and commits him unequivocally to the position which he then occupled. Some of the Republican leaders are planning to have this sentence placarded all over the country, especially in those localities where the sound-money sentiment is the strongest. CHIEF DEVERY CHARGED WITH INCOMPETENCY Outcome of the Recent Race Riots in New York City. RS S Inspector Thompson and Acting Cap- | tain Cooney Must Also Answer Accusations of Neglect of Duty and Brutality. SRS NEW YORK, Sept. —Former Police Commissioner Frank Moss, on behalf of the recently organized Citizens’ Protective | League, to-day preferred charges against Chief of Police Devery, Inspector Thomp- son and Acting Captain Cooney of the West Thirty-seventh-street station. He accuses them of brutality, neglect of duty and incompetency in their method in treating the decent race riots on the West It is said that the league has evi- | dence against the Chief and his subordi- | nates that the Police Commissioners can- not ignore. Frank Moss will act as coun- sel for the league. He has a staff of men at work on the testimony. | The inyestigation of the charge of club- | bing and other forms of brutalities made | by colored people against the police of the | West Thirty-seventh-street station after | the recent race troubles. which the Police | Commissioners were asked by the Mayor to hold, began to-day in the trial-room at | police headquarters, President York pre- ding. e Arst complainant, W. J. Eiliott, ap- | peared with his counsel, and the Soclety | for the Prevention of Crime was also rep- resented by counsel. Elliott, who had | been arrested in a pawnshop while pricing some revolvers, claimed that after being | placed in custody he had been taken to the police station, where, as he was being | led through the muster-room, he was | beaten almost into_insensibility by a | crowd of policemen. He was corroborated by two other colored men. "A number of policemen, being questioned by President Yerk, denied the attack in | the station. EIliptt was represented by | Attorney Ludlow, but President York re- | fused to let the lawyer examine his client or cross-examine the policemen. Ludlow protested in vain, York taking the ground | that as the attorney represented a num- | ber of clients who have brought suit against the city for injuries received in | investigation to be the means of furnish- | ing evidence against the city in these suits. To the charge made by the attorney that the investigation was simply a white- wash, President York threatened to have the lawyer expelled from the room. ‘Attorney Frank Moss, prominent in the recent investigation of vice in this city, also appeared at the &Hce investigation. He represented the Society for the Pre- vention of Crime,. the City Vigilance League and the Citizens’ Protective League, the latter being an organization | of colored men formed since the riot. Mr. Moss, not satisfied with the way the in- vestigation was proceeding, asked if he would be allowed to examine his witness and cross-examine the policemen. Presi- dent York declined to give him this privi- lege. Thereupon Mr. Moss entered pro- test and filed with the president the for- mal charges against Chief of Police Dev- ery, Inspector Thompson and Acting Cap- tain Cooney.
