AN AGREEMENT NEAR AT HAND. Encouraging Outlook Concerning Course of Future Events in China. GERMANY AND UNITED STATES Working Together for the Solution of the Entire Difficulty A French Propo sition for Consideration More Chinese Commissioners. By Telegraph to the Moraine Btar. Washington, Oct. 8. A feeling of buoyant optimism prevails among officials here to-day relative to the Chinese troubles that warrants the belief in the existence of a sound foundation, based on very recent de velopments in pendincr negotiations. It is evidently the conviction offi cially that an agreement among the Powers is near at hand. However. it is not deemed well to make any pub lic announcement of the progress of - the negotiations at this stage. Although it is known that there have been sev eral important exchanges - recently, both verbally between the diplomatic representatives o.f the Powers here .aod the State Department, and through the United States representa . tives abroad and the governments to which they are accredited, it can be inferred only that their general tenor has been highly favorable, from the satisfaction expressed by the officials. Ontlook More Satisfactory. The encouraging outlook has been brought about very largely by the har- eloped between this government and Germany concerning thef course of future events in China. Since the re turn of Secretary Hay he has had sev: eral conferences with Baron Von Sternberg, the German charge, which have been of such a character as to show that the purposes of the two gov ernments were very much alike and that whatever might have been con templated, theyyere now proceeding toward a common end for the solution - of the entire difficulty. The Berlin government received several days ago the Sheng dispatch giving the Chinese edict for the severe punishment of Prince Tuan and his associates. This quarters as a sincere evidence that Oliina was disposed now to deal with tli responsible parties as their offences deserved. It also developed the senti m -nt that a declaration of war against China would be needless, and that a solution of the problem could be se cured through pacific channels. Alto gether, the outlook is more satisfactory than at any time heretofore, not only for concurrent action of the powers, but also for a comprehensive settle ment of the entire Chins9 question. The French Proposition. It is expected, however, that the at tention of this government will be turned within the next few days to some entirely new phases brought up by the French note to the powers'. This note, undoubtedly, will be in the bands of this government by the time the President returns and there is con- siaeraoie anxiety in ioreign quarters as to the answer the United Statewill make. A question has arisen as to whether the note will be accepted by some of the foremost continental powers of Europe. So far as this gov ernment is concerned, however, -there is no reason to believe the French proposition will meet with disfavor. Meantime plans are under consider ation by which the powers will see that China carries out her purpose of pun ishing the guilty parties. The sincerity of China being accepted, it is felt to be proper that the punishment she inflicts shall be carried out in such public manner, either with the knowledge of the foreign ministers or in their pres ence, that there can be no question as to the completeness of China's repara- Lion. The German government de sires that this course be pursued, and there appears to be a general disposi- punishments. Expeditions Against Boxers.

Mr. Jones spoke in part as follows: "No matter what may be said to the contrary, I think that the only real question that is now before tne American people in this campaign is the question of right of self government. "The only ditterence between a re- pulic and an empire is this : In a re- public a sovereign equals an ot tne people participating in the govern ment on equal terms; in an empire subject and dependent colonies are ruled by the home government with out their consent or participation. Which principles shall we adopt? I believe that we will be. true to the De mocracy of the goldenrrule rather than to the autocracy of the rule of gold, and I believe that the American people will reaffirm the doctrine of the right of self-government as set down in the Declaration of Independence."
