Washington Oct. 9. President Mc
Kinley and the cabinet conferred today
on the Chinese situation as affected by
France's proposals for a settlement.
A final decision was not reached, and
there will be conferences between Mc
Kinley and Hay before the final answer
is made, in the meantime Hay Is pre
paring a response to be used as a
basis for further consideration. The
government probably will not agree at
this time to the proposals that the im
portation of war munitions into China
be prohibited and that the forts be
tween Pekin and Taku be raiseki, pre
ferring to hold its decision In abeyance
until the powers have agreed to hold
a general peace conference. Thebaut,
the French .charge, called at the state
department this afternoon for an an
swer and was told that he must wait
several days.
The state department has received
from Conger a report on points which
he was instructed to investigate, as re
quested. The latest German note has
the name of over a dozen officials chief
ly responsible for the anti-foreign at
tacks. The war department received
several despatches from Chaffee today.
One referred to the plans for trans
porting the troops from Pekin to Ma
nila, and told of the difficulty encoun
tered in getting the Russians to repair
the railroad from Tien Tsin to Pekin.
Chaffee said that the marines will leave
Pekin next Thursday. The danger of
anti-foreign outbreaks in the Yang Tse
valley has caused the assignment of
the gunboat Helena to duty at Shang
hai. She left Gavite today.
BOXERS' HEADS ON PIKES.
Tien Tsin, Oct. 7. When the British
expedition sent to exterminate the
boxers in Hsung Fung, reached the
outskirts of the town, hundreds of res

showed the heads as evidence.

folk became suspicious and sent an

held up the boat and took the money
himself. The guide escaped.

Shanghai, Oct. 8.-rLl Hung Chang,
Viceroy iLin Kun Yi and Yuan Shih
Kai, governor of Shantung, have pro
tested to the emperor against the re

BRYAN CRITICISES
EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
Tries to Find Calamity Amid Scenes
of Prosperity and to Arraign
Class Against Class.
Quincy, 111., Oct. 9. The special
train'bearing W. J. Bryan .and party
reached Quincy early today. Neither
Mr. Bryan or any one in the party had
arisen. They were not, however, per
mitted to continue their slumbers long,
for between the calls of the crowd for
Mr. Bryan and the beating of the
windows the occupants of the train
were soon thoroughly aroused. Mr.
Bryan had only time to get a cup of
coffee before he was escorted to a car
riage and to Washington park, not
withstanding the early hour. There
was a throng of people at the station,
included among whom were a number
of marching clubs who acted as an es
cort, Mr. Bryan spoke on the gen
eral Issues of the campaign, saying:
I pass along the street and as I
Jooltlnto the faces of some careworn
women who never get a chance to take
a summer vacation, at some pleasant
watering place, I wonder how the hus
bands and sons of those women can
find it in their hearts to support the
policies which are today amassing
great wealth in the hands of a few
people with a rapidity never known be
fore Jn the history of the world. J
wonder how it is that men who are
not interested in getting their hands
into other people's pockets but merely
in keeping other peiople's hands out of
their own pockets can support the re
publican ticket while today the repub
lican party denies the people equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none, and make this government of the
syndicates, by the syndicates and for
the sndicates.
"If the republican party s not pre
pared to defend its policy on any ques
tion when you challenge it to defend
itself it talks prosperity to the farmer
and a full dinner pail to the laboring
man and that is all it has to say.
"If the republican party were to at
tempt to show In what respect it
brought prosperity to the farmer it
would fail. But a republican said the
other day that the republican party
was In partnership with the Almighty.
The republcan party claims to be a
silent partner with the Jehovah but the
trouble is instead of being the silent
partner, the republican party makes
all the noise and Jehovah is the silent
partner of the concern. From the
"way .the republicans talk you would
imagine that the republican party was
responible for a large crop when you
have a large crop, and if the crop fails
it wasNa warning to you never to desert
the republican party."
Mr. Bryan again referred to the edi
torial on the pension question, which
appeared in the Omaha World Herald
with which he was formerly connected.
He said the editorial referred to was
printed long before he was connected
with the paper. "Yet I doubt not," he
paid, "that every old, soldier will receive
a letter in which it will be stated that
I am the author of the editorial."
"I have already one," shouted an old
soldier in the crowd.
"I am not surprised," said Mr. Bry
an. "I kniow that they have misrepre
sented everything that could be mis
represented. Today they have net the
'eart hope of carrying the election, un
less they have a bigger campaign fund
than they have ever had before, and
they can coerce every voter that can be
coerced."
Mr. Bryan asserted that the repub
lican party had completely changed
front upon the question of a large
standing army. Formerly that party
was won't o beast of its confidence in
the volunteer soldiers, but this was no
longer true. It was, he declared, no
excuse for saying that we want a
"strong" government in the sense that
we need a big army.
Mr. Bryan closed with a plea against
imperialism and speaking of the Porto
Rican bill he said:
"The principle involved in that meas
ure is as dangerous and as damnable
as has ever been, exercised by any ty
rant in the world's history."

C-ipbell. The address of welcome was
delivered by Gen. Theo. F. Davidson,

Bociattion. Dr. J. H. WlBLajns wel
comed' the visitors on behalf the local
profession).
Dr. Harold N. Mayer, presfdemit of tthe
association spoke next, referring to
the rapid advance made in medical ed
ucation in the United States and re
viewing the work of the society.
The program for today includes a
visit to the Biitmore estate.
The visiting members of the Missis
sippi Valley Medical association will
have a pretty busy time if they take in
all the professional meetings and so
cial functions provided for them. Last
evening the local physicians and their
wives were invited to meet the visitors
at a reception given Dr. and Mrs. Bur
roughs. Dr. and Mrs. Reynolds and the
Misses Reynolds received with Dr.
and Mrs. Burrough. The rooms were
very prettily decorated, and the num
ber of guests was exceedingly large.
Refreshments were served, Mrs. Chas.
S. Jordan serving at the fruit punch
table.
From this reception, the visitors went
to the 'Swannanoa casino where they
were entertained at a smoker given by
the Buncombe county Medical associa
tion. This was a delightfully informal
affair. Tables and chairs were dis
posed in various parts of the large hall,
and the guests chatted and partook of
the refreshments, and watched the
stage performance or not as they chose.
The minstrel show on the stage was
followed by a cake walk. This part of
the entertainment was under the direc
tion of Mr. Plummer and the results
were very gratifying.
Souvenirs, in the form of a tobacco
pouch, pipe and box of matches, were
distributed by the Appolinaris company
drug stores.
Among the visitors present were Dr.
and Mrs. J. H( Stuckey, and Dr. and
Mrs. H. G. Tuley, of Louisville; Dr.
and Mrs. Walker, of Detroit; Dr. and
Mrs.Culbertson, of Cincinnati; Dr. and
Mrs. Eugene C. IHay of Hot Springs,
Ark.; Dr. and Mrs. Barclay of Pitts
burg; Dr. and Mrs. .J. N. Love of New
York; J. Wesley Bovee of Washington,

H. N. Moyer, of Chicago, and Mr. J.
Halderistein of the United Agency com
pany .
At th.i evening session of the Medical
association yesterday, Dr. O. Stein of
Chicago, spoke about the close relation
of diseases of the ear to diseases of the
brain and the mainoonducts which lead
the blood from the brain back to the
heart. A large and interested number
of members of the society followed him
word for word. In connection with this
Dr. Holinger gave a demonstration of
the very difficult anatomical conditions
which either may lead to a cure by ad
equate treatment or b operation.
Only very recently have we begun to
understand and appreciate these facts,
but there is no doubt that in future
many a dear life will be saved. Many
of our well known men in political life
have been brought to an early grave on
account of such complications as will
in future be foreseen and, cured. The
demonstrations brought forth a num
ber lof facts which were brought to
light only by years of careful and hard
work. The thanks of the best of the
profession rewarded Drs. Stein and
Holinger.

THE MYSTERY OF MILLION
AIRE RICE'S DEATH
Polic ! Theory as to Lawyer Patrick
and the Second Will.
New York, Oct. 9. News in the Rice
case today was furnished by Captain
McClusky, who stated that under the
second will of Rice, which is in Lawyer
Patrick's custody, Patrick won't bene
fit at all If the provisions of the will
are carried out. Patrick is made resid
uary legatee, but as trustee to carry out
certain alleged plans of Rice .to
found on institute here on the lines of
Cooper institute. The "Rice institute of
Houston, Texas, has beeim claimed by
Patrck, but does not exist except en
paper, and McClusky admitted this.
The police still 'hold that Patrick In
serted the charity clause as a plaus
ible reason for his being made residuary
legatee, but there i nothing to show that
is not a genuine, expression of Rice"'
wishes. It has been assented by Pat
rick's lawyers that it was Rice's
wish that New York should benefit by
hi money rather than Texas. Rice's '
valet, Jones, is not mentioned in the
second will.
