This Government wiil Not "Join Germany in that , Country's Proposed Chinese Policy Text of the Replies to the Powers Not Yet Been Made Public. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. Admiral Remey cabjes from" Taku, under date o 21st: "A force of Russians, Germans and Austrians advanced on the Pei Tang forts last night. The Chinese opened fire and kept it up all night at inter vals. The forts were evacuated this morning and Jthe Europeans hoisted their colors over the forts at 11 o'clock. Twenty-five Russians and Germans are reported to have been blown up by a mine. The information is from Com mander Wise, who followed the troops into the forts. Only five of the Chinese were killed." fxoc Yet Made Known. WASHINGTON, D. C.", Sept. 22. The text of this government's replies to the European powers with reference to the Chinese question has not yet been made public, but will be given out as soon as the notes have been handed to the powers to which they are addressed. The government has rejected Ger-1 many's- proposal to join in punishing the officials responsible fur the Pekin outrages, and has decided to go ahead with the peace negotiations with China in all haste: The President, in view of the uprising in the Philippines, is more than ever anxous to get American troops out of the empire at the earliest moment. The cabinet meeting was attended by only three members Attorney General Griggs, Secretary Hitchcock and Secre tary Long but communication was had with the absentees over the long distance telephone. The two last nam ed returned to- Washington especially to be present at the conference.. The meeting lasted only a little more than an. hour and a half, for th? President had alrieady? agreed upon his , policy . of getting out of "China as soon is possi ble. Accordingly, he desired only the concurre.nce of his advisers, in the plans he had laid. The disciisgifih cenr tered around the attitude of Germany, Russia and China, respectively. The German request to join in pun ishing the Chinese responsible for the outrages was disposed of in short or der. Mr. McKinley felt that the Phil ippine situation so completely demand ed all available troops in the Orient that he could not seriously consider any policy which would mean the pun ishment of the Boxer chiefs. The request of Prince Ching to have the peace conference go ahead at the earliest moment was more in line with the purpose of the administration to get out of China as quickly as pos sible.

The work of distributing relief to the destitute, while being conducted upon a, more systematic basis, is aggravat ing! y slow to the thousands of appli cants of all ages and conditions, who stand in. long lines at each sub-station for hours before their time conies to get their daily supply. It isi very hu miliating'to delicate and refined women bereft of all they , had, to be placed in such a position, and some other and better mode of Sjistribution should l e adopted. - . Life insurance companies will lose heavily by the storm, and in all prob ability much litigation will grow out cf the adjacent of losses. Thousands of bC'dies were either hastily buried oi cremated without any proofs of iden tification being taken, which is a re quisite the life insurance companies will insist upon. The sanitary condition of the city is daily improving, except in the vicinity of the masses of debris1 cast up against the southern! part of the city. Tha work of disinfecting is vogorously pro& eeuted and the health board positively declares' that not more than" the usual amount of sickness will follow the awful calamity.

THE SALOON FOLLOWS FLAG SaysWherever the AmericanFlag Goes the American Saloon Gots With It. Legislation that will Prohibit Urged. A Strong Talk on Temperance. Miss Belle Kearney, the national lec turer of the W. C. T. U., was heard last night in the Y. M. C. A. hall by a large audience of ladies, and not a few vo ters.. Miss Kearney came- upon the stage accompanied by Mrs. C. M. Gib bon and Mrs. R. E. Cohcrane, of the local union, and Rev. Dr. Barron. After prayer Dr. Barron introduced the fa mous and talented Mississlppi&n in graceful speech, telling of her travels, her work, her gifts. 'Miss Kearney dwelt first with the matter of legislation past, present and future as affecting temperance, count ing every law enacted favoring tem perance, as a victory for the cauie. She paid a glowing tribute to Francis Wil lard, telling of the erection, by Illinois, of the $9,000 statue to her memory. She characterized Bishop Potter's utter ance as to the saloon being a necessity, as a poor man's club, as a victory for the cause, as it brought strong friends to the cause of temperance, by opposi tion to the Bishop's speech. In one town which she visited on 'one square she was shown a church, a "school, a house of Parliament and a saloon. "These' said her guide, "are called 'Salvation,'. 'Education,' 'Legislation' and 'Damnation.'" . - Miss Kearney says license is the root of the matter, and with that she main ly deals. She says the strongest alli ance in the world is that between the United States and liquor. The money from whisky license is spent to pave streets, to furnish lights and schools. She thmks it better for people to walk on plowed fields, to sit in darkness and to be ignorant, racher than get luxur ies by the liquor traffic. "It is blcod money," she says, "and there is blood on every man's hands who votes for it. Jt "And'what I say in regard to the sa loon I say in regard to the dispensary. The latter is a compromise, a partner ship'.with the liquor business. They tell me that the-dispensary in South Carolina fe an abomination. I would have no' compromise. - Let the men of this couritfy, the 12 million votes de stroy it.root and "branch' by; forbid ding its manufacture, exportation, im portation, sale or gift, ""except . under seal and for medical purposes only. "NorthCarolina has been: ! ' brave enough to handle the negro question. Now let it ; handle this whisky " question. r! 'iWherever the American flag goes the Amer ican saloon goes in Alaska, Hawaii, Cuba, Manila." As to prohibition not prohibiting, Miss Kearney argued that neither did the law against murder prevent mur der; nor te law gainst stealing pre vent theft. She made a good, strong argument all through. - She is a fine speaker, and can always command an audience. ' t HORSES STOLEN Thief Visits Third Ward Mr Sifford and Alex Allison Robbed.
