01 SWamee which It has been
uggestea woow De effectuaU Is that
there ahould be a defense oro vision in
the, peace . t&eaty for the protection of
a foreigners to China and punishment
or local officials who shall be responsUj
oie fttroutrages, stipulating the nature
of the punishment to be inflicted. In
the discussions of the ministers up to
the present the future status of the em
press dowager and the proposed gov
eminent reforms have only been refer
red to casually. The stipulations on
the: latter point are unlikely to fulfill
the Jiopes of reformers. The reports
sent put by the Germans as to the tur
buletit conditions -prevailing hereabouts
are . unquestionable exaggerations.
They are continually complaining that
their 4oat8 are being1 fired upon on the
river Tang Tsun and Tung Chow. The
German guards reply by firing upon
natives, and since the advance to the
relief of Pekin some 500 Chinamen
'have been shot along the Pei Ho. it
hasjbeen shown that many of the vic
tims have been innocent coolies. The
boats of other nations do not report at
tacks The same conditions prevail at
Pekin, the only shooting being: in the
German section. The shooting around
Feld Marshal Von WaMersee's quar
ters at night is such that one of the at
taches said it was dangerous for an of
ficer to stick bis head out of doors as
a stray, bullet might hat him. In the
American section, formerly the tough
est of the city, only two Chinese have
been killed since the American occupa
tion. Advices from official Chinese
sources say that there is no possibility
of the return of the court to Pekin be
fore spring. The ministers) will hold
another meeting Nbvemtber 11. The
ministers will probably then be ready
to -present united demands which will
probably Include most of the French
propositions.
These demands wlil have the effect of
an ultimatum, but an actual threat
probably will be necessary before a
definite reply is obtainable. Tour cor
respondent has received from Chinese
sources a statement that a Malhom
medan rising is threatened near Singan
Fu, which menaces the throne. This
'would- further complicate the situation.
uenerai -ning ti itisiang, wno com-
mands the troops surrounding the
troops surrounding 'the , throne, is in;
absolute control. He was originally a
Mohammedan and headed the rebellion
against- the government. He was
bought off.
THE LATEST FROM CONGER.
Wasjhlngton, Nov. 5. Mr. Conger's
last' advices to the state department in
dicate that satisfactory progress is be
ing made by the ministerial corps at
Pekin"" toward the arrangement- of a
basis upon which negotiations shall be
had with the Chinese for a final settle
ment.. The ministers have passed up
on the, question of punishments and
also -upon several other important
points, which will figure in the nego
tiations. The results have not been
made public The Russian minister is
understood to be participating actively
in the discussions and the proceedings
are"harmonious. So far as these have
been confined, to the effort to secure a
perfect agreement by all of the minis
ters upon the. basis of negotiation and
up to this time no effort has been made
to deal, directly with the Chinese gov
ernment. It is the understanding that
when the ministers themselves have
agreed upon their program there will
be little difficulty in securing its ac
ceptance by the Chinese -vernment
whJcbt is Indeed powerles to offer seri
ous resistance to the united demands
of the powers.

A democratic mee.ing was held In t ie
court house last night. Theadvertls d
attractions. ; , werei; Wex-CtongTessinan
Crartrford aniJ Judge MeiTtmon. 4iat the
program seemed tor iaTOVnnpnm-,-
some change, and finally consisted of a,
speech more vigorous than logical by
Locke Craig and a short wall to the
tune of "They stole- My Seat" from
Crawford, who did not arrive until af
ter the proceedings uad begun! - Before
the tnalnrerformance, a small 'boy
who should have been borne In bed
made an alleged speech on subjects
which he did not understand J(The
youth afterwards announced that he
had been paid a dollar to do it.) :: .
, An anbeuncement was made that
Mr. Crawford had been . speaking at
Marion and was "expected here before
the meeting- was over. Meanwhile
uocKe Ajraig-new the fort. He at
tempted to ridicule Major Moody's re
cent Illness and also accused the major
of having betrayed his trust in the
matter of the Buncombe prohibition
bill.
During this speech Mr. Crawford ar
rived, but Mr. Craig, after offerlngUo
stop, went on speaking1 for a long time.
His effort included a good "many flow
ers of rhetoric and one strong argu
ment, though the latter being against
the deroocr3t8 may not have been in
tended by the speaker. He said some
of the Filipinos eat one one another.
As the Braynite idea is that we should
protect the Filipinos In working out
their own destiny, the dietetic eccen
tricities of our proteges are of some in
terest. If jwe set them absolutely free
and tfhen keep other nations from in
terfering, it is easy to see that compli
cations might arise if the - gentle na
tives, when tired of .another, should
happen to eat German traders or other
foreign residents of the archipelago.
But Mr. Craig did not develop this line
of thought. He spoke of the twenty
million dollars paid for ten million
Filipinos $2 a piece and said that this
was "what we pay for a nigger ior
about ten minutes on election day."
This throws an Interesting light -en lo
cal democratic methods. .
Ex-Congressman Crawford complain
ed that his seat had been stolen . He
also denounced the statements publish
ed about his record on the automatic.
car coupler bill. He complained that
Mr. Rollins, having left on his mind
the Impression that he would correct
the statement, nevertheless had not
done so.. Mr. Crawford In his eager
ness to get 'back at Mr. Rollins himself
falled-to deny that he had voted
against the bill. He alluded to the re
publicans with their methods of chi-
canery, methods or cowardice ana
methods of rascality, but failed to ex
plain What right the j Simmons arly
had to object to such things.

r!-.c'-lvteii't the opera
house Sunday- evening, provoked a
great deal of adverse criticism. Spe
cial mention was made of theiboncert
to a number of churches and church
members were advised to remain away.
This -advice must Wave borne fruit, as
the audience was small. .
In addition to the pastors of the vari
ous churches Mayor Blair and others
opposed the concert, and Mr. Innes
and the members of Aids organization
only escaped being defendants In a
civil action, as they thought, by leav
ing the city before 12 o'clock Sunday
night In a special train. Mr. Innes
said be forte leaving that he did not fear
the result of such an action, and if . he
alone would bave been detained the
prosecutioni would have been given an
opportunity to make a case against
Mw.. The band had. to get away or
suffer a large financial loss, as' there
were contracts to play in Spartanburg
and Greenville. If these engagements
had been broken the band would have
"been answerable to a suit for damages.
As a matter of fact no suit would
have been brought against the musi
cians, but. they had uo way of knowing
how much there was in the talk at that
time. Mayor Blair said yesterday that
no legal isteps would have been taken
as this matter was fully discussed and
it was ascertained that there was no
law directly bearing on the subject.
As the people came out of the opera
house Sunday riigiht they were handed
slips of blue paper on which were
printed Hhe words, . "Have you been
saved?" and "Where will you spend
eternity?" The young- men who hand
ed out the Slips are members of
Bethel M. E. church, south .
BRYAN'S "CASE "
From' the Medical Brief.
Mr. Bryan's unusual behavior toward
the party which nominated him is an
Interesting' .psychological study" to
physicians. Mr. Bryan has a
touch of paranoia, as experts call it.
He is the supreme Boss and the most
dangerous crank the country ever pro
duced. His earnestness, sincerity and
determination give him a delusive ap-.
peaxance of honesty which passes with
the multitude, and the force of his will
enables, him-.to impress, and, .hypnotize
the susceptible and unstable, while it
silences the clear sighted but weak men
of his party.
Mr. Bryan's very crankiness attracts
the mentally diseased, men of dissatis
fied and impractical turn of mind, who
believe things can be -bettered by sim
ply turning them upside down. Revo
lutionists, innovators,' crack-brained
reformers and theTvlike will, vote for
blm. Also a great many Intelligent
men under the influence of party preju
dice and affiliation. But these will be
fewer than ever before. The force of
regularity has lost much1 of Its power
to blind men and govern them like ma
chines, ? .
