BRYAN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Addressed an Immense Gathering of Peo
ple at Shepherdsto'wn The Philip- .
pine Question Discussed..
,
By Tejesrraph to the Morning Btar.
gHKriiKkDSTOWN, W. Va., Sept. 5.
Mr. Bryan began tho second day of
his present tour at this point. His
first speech was made at Morgan's
Grove, in the suburbs of the town,
where he began to Speak a few min
utes past 10 o'clock. At this grove the
people of the vicinity are in the habit
of conetegatinjr annually to hold a
volt sh'pw." The show is now on;
and advantage was taken of the fact
i:) have a Bryan meeting at the
grounds. The attendance was im
mense, people having come in not only
from West Virginia but from Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania to hear
the speech while they attended the
fair. There was for instance several
Jiunlred men in7 the procession wear
ing 'anti-imperial" badges, who were
from Hagerstown, Md. A letter was
read from Hon. W. L. Wilson, ex
pdstmaster general, strongly opposing
the government's course in the Philip
pines and regretting that sickness pre-,
vented his presence. :
Mr. Bryan was received with deaf
ening applause. He began by referring
to Mr. Wilson in most complimentary
t-;rnis. He had known Mr. Wilson in
Congress and he had never believed
ttiHt so kind and loving a man -could
emlorse a war of conquest. '
Mr.' Bryan expressed his pleasure at
being able to address an assemblage of
farmers. He wanted to know how any
farmer could be a Republican? It was
easy, he said, to understand how the
head of a trust or an army contractor
cotifd bo a member of that party, but
as for the farmers, they were not try
ing t -ret their hands into others' pock
ets anil -to keep others' hands out of
their pockets. However prosperous
oilu rciasses might be, the farmer was
not a sharer of that prosperity. Here
Mr. Bryan related the current reports
c iicerning his oat crop, claiming that
the exaggeration in this matter was a
sp . cimen of the fallacy of the reports
in itn East concerning the prosperous
condition q? the agricultural classes.'
Piscyssing the Philippine question,
Mr. Bryan said, in part:
. "Republicans tell us that the Philip
pine war is the same as the war be
tween the States. A man does not need
to have much intelligence to see
the difference between the principles
involved. In the civil war the
North was holding the people of the
South in the Union, but the people
were not to be subjects, they were to
becit z-jns. They were not held in the
Union to bo denied the privileges of
citizenship. They are to-day sharing
with the citizens of the North in the
citV-nsiiip of this Union, and they are
vii-iuf with 'he citizens of the North
to s-'! which section can add most to
the grandeur and glory of this, our
common country. Applause. That
is iiot the same as in the Philippine
islands. We are not bringing the Fili
pinos in as citizens. We are bringing
them in as subjects, and if you want to
know the difference between the South
sharing as she does in the constitution
and the Filipinos weighed down by a
coi-i.'.i.-tl system, as practiced in other
co iiiti irs. compare the South to-day,
se:r "uvt rmng, wun ine ooum during
!. carpet bag period. If you want to
k:i. what a colonial policy will mean
in thr I Q'Jippine islands, just remem-
iriiow white men at noma were
treated by a carpet-bag government.
and then imagine how brown men
7,000 miles away from home will be
treated uader Jk carpet-bag govern
ment." Mr. Brvan then dwelt on the prin
ciple that all men are created equal
and should have the right of self-government
as inalienable and as the very
foundation of our Declaration of Inde
pendence. THE NATIONAL PARTY.

fEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
The State Convention-Ticket Nominated.
Speech by Former Governor
Frank S. Black.
Ki Teiei-aph to the Morning str.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. B. The 8tate
Republican (Convention in session here
to day nominated the following ticket:
For Governor B. B. Odell, Jr., of
Orange.
Lieutenant Governor Timothy T.
Woodruff, of Kings.
Secretary of State John T,- Mc-

Comptroller William J. Morgan,
of Erie.
-State Treasurer John P.
Jaeckel,
of Cayuga.
Attorney General John Q-. Davies.
of Oneida.
State Engineer Edward Bond, of
Jefferson.
The most interesting feature of the
convention was the fact that the speech
nominating Benjamin B. Odell for
Governor was made bv former Gov
ernor Frank S. Black, who had been
outside the organization since Theo
dore Roosevelt defeated him two years
ago wnen ne aesired a re-nomination.
For a long time Mr. Black and his
close friends. Abraham Gruber and
former District Attorney William K.
Olcott, of New York, were very bit
ter against senator 1'iatt. but verv
recently a reconciliation was effec
ted. Mr. Black said the issues
now before the American peo
ple were discussed and settled four
years ago, "mere is not a new one
here," he continued, "'the ghost of
anti imperialism which stalks to and
fro between Lincoln and Blooming-
ton, with occasional manifestations in
Boston, is not and cannot be made an
issue. This country is and has been
committed to the policy of growth and
it cannot be swerved from that policy
by new scarecrows erected along the
way.
Senator Depew nominated Wood
ruff and Colonel Roosevelt also spoke.
LADYBRAND RELIEVED.
Boers Abandon the Siege After Desperate

Dy cable to the Mornlnz Star.
Cape Town, Sept. 5. The siege of
Lady brand has been raised, after sev
eral deperate attempts to capture the
town and its little garrison of 150
British troops. The Boers who at
tacked Lady brand are estimated to
have numbered over two thousand
men. The British were summoned to
surrender September 2 (Sunday), but
refused, and from that time on were
subjected to cannon and rifle fire. The
burghers twice tried to rusn tne uritisn
position. Probably the approach of a
relief force saved the little garrison;

THE PROPOSAL TO
EVACUATE PEKIN.
Harmonious Character of Com
munications from the Sev
eral Powers
WILL NOT BE MADE PUBLIC.
Give Entire Satisfaction in Washington.
The Negotiations With China-Field
Marshal Waldersee The Mill
tary Situation In China.
By Xeiegrapn to tbe Mornlnz star.
Washington, Sept. 5. Within the
last twenty-four hours the United
States government has received from
its representatives at foreign capitals
much material information in regard
to the attitude of the powers on the
Russian proposal to evacuate Pekin.
These give the general nature of the
responses made to Russia by certain! of
the powers. It is stated authoritative
ly that if there was at any time a pros
pect of a serious international clash
this has been very largely if not 'en
tirely lemoved by the harmonious
character of the communications the
several governments are making. The
exact nature of these responses is not
made public by the State Department,
for there are yet some replies to be
transmitted, and until all of them in
the " negotiations are considered, in
such an incomplete form' they
Will Not be Made Public.
It is said, however, that the answers
go much beyond the tentative charac
ter of those heretofore referred to,
and are of a conclusive nature so
far as showing the purposes of the
governments, although they may not
be regarded as conclusive in accepting
or rejecting the particular proposition
advanced by Russia. The responses
are understooJ to be rather long and
somewhat argumentative, similar in
this respect to the American response.
This very fact is a cause for congratu
lation among officials, as they point
out that there is no disposition to treat
the proposal with terseness or in a
manner to give offence, but rather to
bring the powers together on a com
mon basis. On the whole, the general
tendency of the responses is such as to
give entire satisfaction here as to the
course of the negotiations The satis -factory
progress of the negotiations
along these lines has directed atten
tion to the personality of the envoys
who will likely represent the powers
and China'
In the Final Settlement.
Mr. Conger is represented as emi
nently fitted for such a task on the
part of the United Stites, - supposing
that each of the powers interested in the
Chinese problem is to have a separate
and individual representative. Mr.
Rockhill's name is mentioned as an
alternate, in case Mr. Conger doe3 not
care to remain in Pekin or to partici
pate in the settlement.
If the present state of all airs in (Jhina
is protracted until the arrival there of
Field Marshal Count Waldersee, which
should occur in about ten days or a
fortnight, it is not to be doubted that
the government of Germany will en
deavor to have all the negotiations
with the Chinese government conduct
ed through that official as a representa
tive, not of tiermany alone, but of all
the powers, urging the advisability of
combined action through one agency,
as the best means of securing a speedy
and generally satisfactory termination
of the Chinese trouble.
The Military Situation.
If there is any change in the mili
tary situation since General Chaffee's
dispatch, supposed to be of the 30th
ultimo, no word of it has reached
Washington. It is understood that
disturbances and outrages upon mis
sionaries continue in some of the dis
tricts outside of Pekin. It is believed
here,? "possibly because of these reports,
that tthe foreign ministers in Pekin
problbly will enter an earnest objec
tion to any withdrawal of troops . if
their respective governments delay ac
tion upon the Kussian proposition
until they have had a chance to ex
press their views.
Germany's Attitude.
The German Foreign Office appears
to be active in furthering the negotia
tions for a settlement Persons likely
to have a correct understanding of
Germany's attitude look for the sug
gestion of a compromise, or middle
course, which will be neither an ac
ceptance nor a rejection of the Rus
sian proposal, but will be such
a satisfactory middle ground that
all the powers, including Russia,
can agree to it For instance,
it is suggested that Germany with
propriety might suggest that a cer
tain limit be fixed on the extent of
the military detachments to be left at
Pekin, with an understanding that
each small detachment confine itself
to quarters so long as peace and quiet
prevail in Pekin, but be ready to act
in case of further umnese depreda
tions. In another diplomatic quarter
the strong belief is expressed that the
requisite compromise will be found
by China's re establishing and nam
ing peace commissioners. Official in
timations have reached Washington
thatsteps are being taken by China to
wards the appointment of such a peace
commission. In that event it is be
lieved by diplomatic officials that the
entitle status of the negotiations be
tween the powers might be changed,
and that Russia no longer would feel
impelled to insist upon the with
drawal of her minister and troop from
Pekin, as all these matters would be
subject for the commission itself to
deal with. It is pointed out also that
in six days since the Russian and
American notes were given to the
world, the sentiment has been grow
ing steadily in favor of continuing the
presence of troops at Pekin.
Meanwhile the policy of the United
States has been such as to leave us en
tire freedom in our future action, save
and except that we are committed -- to
withdrawing our troops from Pekin if
Russia withdraws hers.
The Russian Proposal.
&t. Petersburg, September 5. The
official Journal de St. Petersburg, re
iterating the statement that Russia's
only desire is to end the disturbance in
China as speedily as possible', and pre
paratory to which "the re-establishment
of the Chinese government is necsssar-
ry," contends that "military action be
yond Pekin would only arouse fresh
comnlications."
The paper adds: "xsotmng dui tne
action of the lawful government of
China can accomplish lasting, salutary
results. Therefore, it is necessary to
Lre-establish its authority in 'Pekin,
and the withdrawal of tne representa
tives of the powers to Tien Tsin will
be helpful in this direction as it would
be regarded in China as proof that the
powers have remained true to the
spirit which inspired the original pro
gramme of a maintenance of peace."

NO GENERAL IMPROVEMENT.
The Condition of Cotton-Premature Open
lai In the Carolinas Checked Late
in Texas Picking General
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, September 4. The
following is the Weather Bureau's
weekly summary of crop conditions :
Oyer the greater portion of the
country the weather conditions of the
week ending September , 3rd, 1900,
have been highly favorable for matur
ing crops, although droughty condi
tions continue in portions of the Gulf
States, Illinois and Missouri, in Colo
rado and the arid regions of the South
west -
Corn is ripening rapidly and cutting
is becoming general in all except the
more northerly, sections.
No general improvement in the con
dition of cotton is reported. Prema
ture opening has been checked in the
Carolinas, shedding has ceased in
South Carolina, and the crop in that
State is again blooming and fruiting.
Complaints of frost, shedding, pre
mature opening and injury from boll
worms still continue from the central
portion of the cotton belt In Texas
cotton is from two to four weeks late,
except in scattered localities of the
northeast portion. Reports indicate
that in many localities of northern
Texas there will be about an average
crop, but elsewhere it will be gener
erally below, especially in the south
ern portion, where in a few places cot
ton is almost a failure, while hot
winds, Mexican weevil and boll worms
damaged the crop in many localities.
Cotton picking is general in all sec.'
tions except in Missouri and Tennes
see. Tobacco cutting and housing are in
full progress, being fairly completed
in Ohio and Indiana. The crop is
scalded and poor in North Carolina.

.Salisbury Sun: At Mr. Albert
Miller's, in Davie county, squirrels
are very plentiful. Mr. Miller allows
them to go into his corn cribs when
ever they please and they have eaten
about 10 bushels of his corn this year.
He counted 15 making for his crib one
day and got after them and killed sev
eral, but he usually lets them have
their way and one can see them in bis
yard almost any time. Mr. Miller
seems very much attached to his wild
pets and he hardly ever kills any of
them.

Irvine brought a party of negro stem-

He went over to Greenville in search
of his stemming tourists and returned
last night with eight of them, as happy
as distillery hogs and in nowise
ashamed of seeking to leave him in
the hole.
