The text of the memorandum answering the French proposals for the settlement of the Chinese troubles' was made public this evening. While it maJkessevenal reser vations it is no believed that these will retard the initiation of peace negotia tion .'-The memorandum expresses the bope that negotiations will begin lm punishment of the Boxer leaders tH T mediately. To the suggestion as to the punishment' of the Boxer leaders, the United States observes that Chinia has already promised punishment and that ministers may suggest additions when the negotiations are begun. The regulation of the importation of arms, it Is suggested, can be left to the nego tiations. Regarding indemnities, the government commends the suggesion of Russia that it be left to The ixague arbitrators. The United States "says ia unable to agree to the organiaa- garding the military occupation of points between Tien Tsin and Pekin, the president says he is without au thority, but thinks it desirable that the powers obtain from Ohina assur ance of the right to guard egations and have the means of unrestricted access to them. Paris, Oct. 11. Xt Is learned tfifcfc Austria, Italy and Russia have ac cepted new French proposals unquali fiedly. Germany accepts in part, mak ing reservation respecting the punish ment of those guilty of outbreaks and requesting .further consideration of Germany's point of view. Great Brit ain is unwilling to agree to interdic tion of importation of war munitions. The American reply caused much sat isfaction. EXCITEMENT AT SHANGHAI. Shanghai, Oct. 11. There is great excitement here because foreign troops have gone outside concession limits to drill and patrol. This is deeply re sented by Chinese officials, because there has beeji no sign of trouble. It looks as if the foreigners were making an effort to provoke trouble in Shang hai in the same manner the Russians did at New Chang. The mikado, replying to the Chinse emperor's personal letter, urger Kwang Su to dismiss all bigoted advisers in short order. It is reported here that the court will return to Pekin. A SERIOUS REBELLION. London, Oct. 11. The Shanghai cor respondent of the Standard says the Taotai has received a telegram from General Su reporting a serious rebel- lion in southwesern Kwang. Su says the situation demands 100,000 troops, as the rebellion is spreading rapidly , and threatens to .become more dangerous than the Taipiri rebellion. The ris ing) appears directed against tihe Man chus and not the foreigners. London, Oct. 11. A despatch to the Morning Post from Shanghai says ri oting conttLnues in tbe Smftertor.- it Is reported that the rebels . in Szeehiian tare several thousand strong. Another despatch states that the .province of Hunan is in rebellion. I ON MONTFORD. House of 11 rooms and large lot. One block from Haywood street. " $3,600. iON CUMBERLAND. -$2,800.

St. Louis, Oct. li. The work in China was discussed at today's session of the ninety-first annual meeting of the American board of cimmissioners for foreign missions, which is holding a three days session in Pilgrim Congre gational church. After devotional ex- erclses Rev. Judson Smith, D. I., for ein secretary of the American board, , and Outloak." He said in part: "The ojuestions at issue bear not on tions.

The doom of the dy j nasty and of the anti-foreign policy it I embodies, is pronounced; no diplomacy; no force of arms can save them; the . powers, even if they should wish to j prolong their life, will fight against an ' Irreslstab'e fate. The future, on whose borders we stand and whose features we are helping to shape, will reveal a new iChin!a,facing progress and learning and western arts and. the Christian faith; and that will be a new world, with a glorious destiny before it. "Missionary work in every fofm and In every place Is at an' end. The mis sion property, together with the per sonal effects of missionaries, has been destroyed at Tung-Cho, Pekin, Kalgari, Paoting and Lin-Ohing; undoubtedly everything in Shan-Si is, gone; one mis- sionary residence In Tien Tsn hias been burned; chapels by the score In out stations have been destroyed. The to tal loss, at a low estimate, must amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the-loss of missionary life there Is no money value. For thi wholesale slaughter of native Chrl- tians there Is also no compensation The awful fact that confronts us is the death by violence of thirteen of our missionaries, with five children, In volving the extinction of the Shan-Si mission. "There are not wanting those who would trace this outburst of Boxers' rage and anti-foreign fanaticism to the mistakes and misdeeds of the mission aries, or to the mere fact of their pres ence in China. I speak for Protestant missionaries, and particularly for those of our own board, when I reply that the missionaries are not the cause of this outbreak- They are in China, with China's knowledge and virtual consent, enjoying plainly stipulated treaty rights; they are guilty of no disloyalty: they have enjoined loyalty to China upon their converts and pupils; they have lived in peace and goodly fellow ship with the native communities wherever they reside. China has made no complaint of them; she has not asked for a revision of treaties in or der that she might be freed from their presence. "But missionaries, we are told, have no business in China, forcing a foreign and hateful religion upon the people; their very presence and work naturally arouse resentment and hatred. This charge srikes back to One who brought a heavenly glory to the earth which repaid him with a cross and a crown of thorns, and charges him with folly, and seems to cover with shame the brightest pages of Christian history, the noblest names upon the beadroll of the ages.

Hon. A. H: Price, IMcKlniley elector at large spoke ihere last night to a large and en- rtfttftrsiastic audience, composed of many of the most prominent citizens of this oenlmunitty. lie said, among other things, thaJt at on time he anticipated cherishing ithe hope that the day and) hour baa arrived in the political (history of North Caro lina. wOiem the citizens of the state might be ipermitited to consider tine "great issues" BulbmJitttedi for tiheir in vestigatiom), without having their pre judices aroused, that he was encour aged to (hope for 'the condition of affairs for the reason 'that Governor-elect Ay cock, In (his acceptation speech) deliv ered at ithe democratic state convention, said, lin appealing to the voters of all parties to come to the aid and support of rche then proposed; suffrage amend iment, that, upon ithe adoption of tihe same we would enjoy "imtelleotuai free dom) and! that when error oame face to aace with truth it would meet 'the crashing defeat it deserved'. .'Mr. Price said this was a noble senti ment beautifully expressed, but imme diately after the adoption of the amemd ment to August, the seif-constiituted tnouitb-piece, organ, and representative of Btryajrtemi in iNorth Carolina came j out In a Sunday eddtion aaid miade fnhe imostt violent appeal to the passions and prejudices of the people, and urged the leadAira of Bryanism An ithe state to again agiMte tiba very Irritating: emd: dDturbdng fcsaue, ithe race ques tion, and! iBtowplry bec1aiUB va inor ifaiTHmindea' papen tihe ' C&xortofflte j Observrj -saw fbt to -jeaaAep AttMiprbfeSti against; thisi unnecessary., and unseemly' violation of tfihe promises! and pledges itlhat had been made the people 1m the i'lHHc campaign, bus representative or the disturbing elememt in North. Caro- linia made a violent attack upon ithe Charlotte Observer, and charged (that paper with, being "ibought" and with curniptlon eaidi bribery. Mr. Price said aie was not here to defend the Charlotte Observer, "that ithe 'Charlotte Observsr was amply able to take care of itself, but his object and purpose in referring to this was' to illustrate tne outrageous Imtolerance and meanness prevailing! among a certain faction of Belf consti tuted leaders of Rryanism in this state. Mr. Price said that abuse and vilifica itaon were not legitimate weapons of argument, that the people should con sider the issues from a 'business-like : standpoint, that every man should have the imonal courage to vote 'according to the diiatates of his conscience, and for the best interest of the whole country, and for the party that proved itself by actual experience, to be capable of, and competent to, sucessfuHy administer the affairs of this (government. Mr. Price said that he would divide his speech in two parts, tihat there were only two issues in this carnipaigsi), and ith'at he would' discuss one at a time. Fisrt PROSPERITY AND ITS CONTINU ANCE. Mr. Price said tihat "for the life of him he could! not understand how any sensible man could desire Mr. McKin ley' defeat, that Mr. McKinley had kept every single solitary pledge and promise he had made ithe people in be half of his party four years ago; tihat every single prediction, and every pro phesy he made four years ago, had turned out to be true; that the adop tion, of his policies andi principles had brought about and produced ithe very satisfactory conditions now prevailing in business circles; that Presidenlt Mc Kinley had been confronted with the most trying conditions and' the most perplexing problems, all of which he had endeavored to solve in a most statesmanlike manner.

Mr. Price said if the people tunned Mr. McKinley out thie time, it would be simply because be bad done exactly what he said he would do. Mr. Price said these Bryapite spell binders 'took up about two thirds of their speeches in attempting to explain) the causes of prosperity, instead of re joicing over the fact, that we were" pros perous and happy. . Mr. Price contrasted ithe conditions as they prevailed' f our years ago, with the present comditions, and said the people, the country, labor, -wanted tuba present conditions to continue. Mr. Pride said ithe second issue be would discuss, and the only other Issue inn this campaign, was. BRTANISM. He said this was hard to define tihat it had its origin fa the excited conditions prevailing at the Chicago convention in 1896 and found its em bodiment to. tihe revolutionary platform adopted by that convention. That this plaitfonmi astounded and appalled ithe conservative American citizen. That some sound -money democrat attempted ito define Bryaniism to 1896 and said that it was "a diabolical conglomeration of political Inconsistencies, Incongruities, heresies, fallacies, and hallucinations. Mr. Price said that Mr. Bryan would accept a nomination from any political organization that saw flit to giv. it to him; that he was now making a tre mendous bid for tuhe ouegro vote; that be and the Rt. Rev. Bishop Turner (colored) were making addresses from the same DlatCorm. Mir. Price imitated in voice and ges- j lure Mr. Bryan's wonderful speech to the negro delegation ait Sit. Joseph, in which, be said- "Fellow citizens, if by tihe suffirjaafes of my caunttrympni I am. elected president of ithe United S tates, be assured that every right guaranteed to you under the constitution) shall be preserved; 'Whatever debt of gratitude you may nave owed to the republican party has 'been fully repaid, you have (elected their presidents, and they have rewarded you with janitorships.'Wbien Mr. Price got this off a good maiy Bryani'tes left Sfhe audiewce). Mr. Price said that Bryan was metrically opposed' to the f iindaimental principles of the democratic party, and had absolutely demoralized that partgp. He said that Bryan appealed to all of tube dissatisfied, elements of tihe country and endeavored-to array, labor against, capital, employee against empJoyer, and criticised' amid antagonized everything, that had eve beea- done to Improve ttie .condition or tBie country, and that Bry an hoped to win by stirring up dUssat istfactiotni and discord, unrest, envy and jealousy, and by arousing prejudice against the business organizations of the entire country. Mr. Price took up the imperialism Is sue and discussed it at considerable length, snowing that this question was settled when the 'treaty was ratified by the senate and by Mir. Bryan's consti tuents. He took up tihe trusts and showed that Mr. Bryan was simply agi tating this issue to arouse prejudice againt all business oganizatlon. He said fthat Mr. Bryan knew that the states (reserved the right to grant franchises and charters, and that the national congress had nothing to do with this, that ithe power had not beem. conferred on congress to superintend and 'Control monopolies, and that this could not be done until the constiitatAon was amended.

MANY LOCAL UNIONS HAVE IN STRUCTED THEIR DELEATG-BS TO VOTE FOR WHAT MOUNTS TO AN ADVANCE OF 19 "PE5R CENT. IN WAGES. Scranton, Oct. 11. The national headquarters of the miners were open ed here this afternoon by President Mitchell. Delegates to tomorrow' con venion are arriving. No bneeems to have any idea what the convention will do tomorrow. Mitchell this evening gave out a statement reciting the reas ons for calling the convention and stating it woujd be free froni passion or excitement. " WilkesbaiTe, Oct. 11. --Ad vices from the strikers in all parts of the region leave no doubt that asettlement of the strike within October Is improbable ana unless delegates retract the' demands ' they are Instructed to make it may last until Christmas. Nearly all the unions have instructed, delegates - to demand that powder not only be reducted to $1.5fr a keg, but that the decrease not", be deducted from the ten per cent, ad vance. This would give the men an actual advance of. nineteen per cent. The operators say, it is impossible for them to do this. Some unions, have told their delegates to Insist on recognition of the ' union and pay every two weeks, cheek weeks, weighmen, arbitration of minor griev ances and contract for all these to be in force two years. As the delegates from, the middle and southern coal fields have grievances-applying to dif ferent conditions, the outcome., will probably be much dissension in the con vention, failure to agree on any one set of demands and refusal of operators to deal with the convention.
