This was on July 19, many s after Lynch knew that the Stocl dealers should have received their licenses. He had issued the stamps, he says, on June %.

Yet he waited until July 19 (o inform the pos- tal inspectors that the valuable papers had been lost in the mails. Views of Postoffice Officials. Under the direction of Inspector Munro and the inspectors are convinced that the letters were never mafled and the stamps were never sent to their purchasers. In the first place it is absurd to believe that than twelve letters sent to more than twelve different addresses miscar- ried. There has never been such a mis. hap under such conditions in the history of the postal service. The stamps were inclosed in . official envelopes, with spe. cific directions to return to the sender within a specified time. They had the Government_ frank and were thus doubly protected. If they had been missent by ke would have been discovered long ago and th would have reached i ol thelr proper destina- ese letters had been mis any careless subordinate otfltrégffedctfi Lynch the error would have been detected and rectified even if the letters had been sent to any part of the American conti. nent: It should be remembered that thres months have passed since the stamps were supposed to have been mafled. On y one other contingency remains: the stamps may have been stolen by somc dishonest mail clerk. But the postal in. spectors call attention to the fact that there could have been no possible motive for theft, as the stamps were valueless to everybody except to him to whom the: were addressed. The investigators haye decided, therefore, that blame must rest with Collector Lynch. Inspector Munro’s Opinion. “It is my opinion,” sald Robert R. M ro. Postoffice inspéctor in Chief, yester. that the stamps never left the offic of Collector Lynch. We have made a mey thorough Investigation and can find " o, trace of them. If a mistake had beng made either by the mail clerks or l;n revenue officials it would have beey af covered and remedied long ago. 1t the stamps and letters had been sent (o (DO part "of the United States they ‘wouy ve been discovered and e ould their destination long before this, 1 ialC not concelve how they ever gl C2B entered the malls and still be missing g6 course, it i8 remotel, Poulhle that th were sent elther to China or Maniy, (he) I hardly think that was probabie’ Sut have finished our investigation ' o= "' ° “I will bet $100 to ten cents,” said Post- master Montague yesterday, “that those letters and stamps never 'entered th, mails. 1 do not belleve that thes esne left the office of Collector John C. ,ynch.

Beginning at 8 o'clock in the morning he talked at intervals until 11 to-night, putting in all told fully six solid hours of speechmaking. The first speech was made at Shakopee and after that appearance he spoke In succession at the following places: Jordan, Belle- plaine, Henderson, Leseuer, St. Peter, Mankato, Janesville, Waseca, Owatoona, Dodge Center, Kasson, Rochester, St. | Charles, Winona and three speeches here | to-night. Most of the talks were com- | paratively brief, not running over ten minutes, but at St. Peter, Mankato, | Rochester, Winona and at this point he | spoke at greater length. Almost all the | meetings along the line were held in the | immediate vicinity of the railroad stop- | ping places, thus saving much of Mr. Bryan's time and giving the people more time to listen to his remarks. The region traversed to-day is a rich agricultural | section and Mr. Bryan's remarks were ad- dressed especially "to 1 , the trust question recelving even a greater share of attentfon than usual. The.audiences were large as.a rule, There were espe- | clally zood crowds at Mankato, Owatgo- na, Rochester and Winona, and at this | lace there were three large apdiences. | je was met at the station here by a large concourse of people, but by no or- | ganization. He was driven rapldly to the | rink, where he made his first speech here. He then spoke at Germania Hall and the opera-house. All three of these buildings were fiiled. | At Owatoona Mr. Bryan discussed the | dairy interest, saying: 1 was told this morning that you had here | a large dairying interest and that led me to look up the statistics on the dairy produce, You have been told that under this adminis tration there has been a wonderful increase in our expert business. I find from a Government epcrt that the export of butter has fallen off n'the last three years and the export of oleo- murgarine has increased during the last three vears. Lot me give the figures. In 1566 we exported 25,690,000 pounds of butter; In 1599 we exported 20,247,000; in 1900 we exported 18,262,000, | showing a falling off of more than 7,000, hounds in the last three years, while oleoma garine increased as follows: In 1598, 13,000,000 pounde; in 1899, 14,000,000; in 1800, 15,000,000. And | I find the total export of butter to the Philip- pines for the yvear ending June, 1900, was worth 1504, =0 1 suppose that this country produces A good many times as much butter as this na- tien exported to the Philippines, and if you | wili figure up vour proportion of $10,000,000 a vear paid for a standing army you will under- | stand how much you pay to get a chance to export 1904 worth of butter. When I was look- ing this question up It was suggested to me that while the export of butter had fallen off, the things the butter-maker needs have risen in price. - Tin plate was worth In November, | 1866, $3 65, while this vear It has gone as high | is 350, There Is a tin plate trust, and you | use tin cans. The wooden tubs cost more, and talt is more expensive because there is a salt | trust. Speaking at Rochester Mr. Bryan ra- | citizens, saying in part: 1 think that a government that was good us, and If that means old fogy, I would rather be an old fogy American than new fogy Amer- jean. 1 belleve that we have drawn to our- | selves the best blood of nations. We have brought to our shoreg those who have come here to seek the liberty which they could not find at home, and if we in this latter day Gepart from the principles of the fathers; if we repudiate the.principles that have drawn these people to our shores then we will be guilty of decetving them, and those who have come here under the delusion that they were coming to a republic will have just cause for an action against the Republican party for breach of promise if it converts the republic into an empire. Speaking_especially o the farmers at Rochester Mr. Bryan sald: It was my good fortune to be in Congress a short time—just a little while, but I would not take & great deal for my experience there. In all that time I did .not see one single farmer asking for legislation, but I saw lots of fellows Who asked for legislation against the farmer. In the h-nrlnT‘ before the Ways and Means Committee 1 heard it stated that only one farmer appeared, and he lived near enough to Washington so he could walk down. But the great corporations had their lobbylsts there. You attempt to get a bill through to correct unjust railroad rates and you will find a lobby there. You attempt to reduce the tariff on any- thing and you will find a lobby there. You talk to Republicans about the tarift and they will admit that some rates are too high, but whenever you attempt to lower the tariff on a public thing you will find that the producers of that thing are just on the verge of bank- ruptey and you cannot afford to take the tarifc from it, and after you get all through you are lucky 1f they don't raise it. 1t is the tendency to hurrah for anything Republican that has made the farmer bear the load that ought to have been borne by other people. The Republican party to-day Is put- ting upon the great producing masses burdens {hat they ought not to bear and is relleving organized wealth from burdens which it ought to bear. — DEMOCRATS E, CONFIDENT.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, WELLINGTON HO- TEL, WASHINGTON, Oct. 2—President McKinley will return to Washington on Thursda or Friday morning to confer with his Cabinet relative to replies to be made to the two new propositions sub- mitted by Germany and France. Ger- many withdrawn from the position she assumed in the note addressed to the powers sev- eral weeks ago, in which she insisted that the responsible authors of the outrages in China should be surrendered to the-allies as a condition precedent to negotiutions. This proposition was only favorably re- | ceived by Italy and Austria, but was not assented to by any one of the other pow- ers. In the meantime the Imperial Gov- | ernment of China Issued a decree direct- ing the degradation of Prince Tuan_and ther {:‘)‘u{h: Imperial Clan Court. The first of- fictal Information concerning thiz decree was given to the powers by Sheng, Direc- tor of Railways and Telegraphs at Shang- hai. 7 In ber new note to the powers Germany abandons her position of insisting upon the surrender of the guilty to the allies before negotiations can begin and has sug- | hat the time is ripe for the powers | gested t : To consider these two propositions: That the Ministers representing the pow- ers in Peking designate the responsible authors of the outrage, whose punishment v insisted upon. “éll‘lm}):e the powers determine upon the character of punishment that shall be ex- tended to the guilty. It is understood that the note was pre- sented to Secretary Hay through Baron von Sternberg, who called at the Btate Department this morning. Baron von Sternberg has been handling the German case with much astuteness and delicacy and he believes that a misunderstanding exists on the part of the press of this country as to the aims of Germany. He insists’ that by the declaration of Baron von Bulow more than three months ago Germany as well as every other power is pledged to the maintenance.of the territo- rial Integrity of China. It is believed in official and diplomatic_circles that as a Tesult of Germany’'s practical abandon- ment of her original proposition the con- | the powers will continue unim- Cl . some other development A= French proposition- the administra- tion regards asa mixture of good and evil This Government readily assents to the declaration that the instigators of the outrages and leaders of the Boxers should be punished, and it is in favor of imme- diate negotiations, and would like a .set- tlement of all questions pending with China as rapldly as possible. But there is ro reason to believe that this Govern- ment will assent to the suggestion that {he powers agree to prohibit the fmporta- tion of munitions of war into the- celestial empire or that it will agree to establish a permanent guard in Peking. n officlal who discussed the . French roposition to-day said that the United tates did not rropose to enter into any reement to kill an industry which was highly profitable and keep out of China arms and ammunition which might be heeded for the purpose of suppressing an insurrection. It was pointed out that the.powers themselves had practically forced China to buy the extensive arsen- als with which she is now equipped, and that the Chinese would be deprived of the reward of their own thrift if the manu- facture of munitions, in which they have chown decided ability, should be stopped. With respect to the maintenance of a permanent force in Peking it is said by officials that this Government proposes to retain a force for Mr. Conger's protec- fion only so long as it seems necessary. and that certainly ndthing will be done to make Peking a permanent post for erican troops. A{'t‘ is unlikely that the United States will care to resolve the Ministers in Peking into a star chamber bndy and indicate ersons whom they consider responsible for the outrages. At the same time the Ministers are the only ones who are capable of determinlnf who are respon- sible, and this is a strong point of the German proposition. PASSED BETWEEN EMPERORS.
