COLOGNE, Sept. 24.—The Kolnische Zeitung publishes an inspired telegram from Berlin in which the Washington Government's reply to the German note is characterized as a manifest effort to as- sist the Chinese Government to accept the proposals with regard to the punishment of the leaders in the Chinese trouble. The | telegram points out that though the American reply shows an indulgent dispo- sition, it must not be deduced therefrom that_{he Washington Government thinks | the United States’ trade and missionary | interests require less careful protection | than those of the other powers, but that ihe United States Government is o 10 be indulgent owing to the fave ffect upon the situation in the Ph ippine d by the transfer of troops from those islands to China. 5 of fact, the telegram vigorus ~and _ exempiary of the gullty counselgrs of the| Chinese court will be in accordance with adds, punishment | the | | the interests of both American trade and missionaries. i For_a_settlement between the powers | and China it makes no difference, how- | ever, asserts the telegram, whether Amer- ica_co-operates any further or not.

Three hundred miners, besides the women, came out tc listen to the speech. When this place was named, Mark Hanna was a director in the Pacific Coal Company, whose mines are here. Governor Roosevelt reminded his hearers of the times four and six years ago when it was difficult for miners to get work, and asked them to compare tho: times with the present, when all were em- ployed, and all obtaining good wages, and asked if they wanted to change back | again to the hard times from ‘which they | emerged with so much difficulty. Laramie was reached at about half p: 2 o'clock to-day, and here two speeches were made to permit all who wished te see and hear Governor Rooseveit speak.

The special train arrived at 6:45 this evening. Excursion trains from va ious parts of the State brought in quite number of visitors. Two evening meetings were arranged for, one at Turner Hall and the other at the opera house. Both places were crowded and both audiences were addressed by Governor Roosevelt. Expansion; militarism and imperialism were the points touched upon by Governor Roosevelt in his remarks to-night. In reference to Mr. Bryan's remark in a re- cent speech about the menace to the peo- ple of a hundred thousand troops walking about in idleness, he sald: “Lawton no ]nnfer walks about in fdle- ness: Liscum and Riley no longer walk about in idleness. = Was it 1idle when Chaffee ot the command of the President marched his troops forward, refusing to wait longer for the other allled forces, who said they could not advance. untii they were shamed into advancing by his forward movement? Was it idleness when the boy Titus sprang onto the walls sur- rounding an {mmemorial despotism with the flag that was to bring security and liberty to the women and children starv- ing and waiting in that dreadful barrier surrounding and protecting the legations?
