is extremely aggravated because of his
treatment by the authorities at Wash

Mr. McKinley's .policy. It is this latter"
point wnich is believed to have led to
the determination of the administration
to keep him in the background.
When questioned as to the matter
tins morning a high official of the State
Department said that he had every rea
son to believe that Mr. Conner would
not be made one of the American "en
voys. "There are reasons for this." he
said, "and it may be ihat they are po
litical reasons, but the mere fat
that the .minister to tVkin has alreadv
announced that he Holds the Chinese
government responsible for his sufferings
is enough to disqualify him as a party
to the negotiation. Aside from this,
we have reason to believe that Ger
many might object to his appointment
as a slap at the Americans in return
for the adverse reply to the note from
Berlin. This could easily be done as
Germany is to be a party to the negotia

and a false show of innocense.
Tbe Chinese are ready to grasp nt any
straw that will afford delav and compli
cate the diplomatic situation. The re
treat of America at such a critical pe
riod in the negotiations nd t-h- refnsil,
t- demand punishment is an exhilnition
of weakness calculated to destroy the
good opinions that the Fnited States had;
begun to win from officials of either Jui
rvpean nations. An official here stnted
this morning that the American note
falls short of being n reply to the Ger
man proposal concerning the ministers
at Pekin selecting those guilty of ihe
frightful outrages against foreigners.
In the opinion of hich German officials,
the United States will hereafter be iso
lated so far as action in China is con
cerned. It is stated that the replies of both
Great Britain and Jaan be favora
ble to fno German proposal looking to
the righteous punishment o Chinese of
fenders, and that the powers will pro
ceed with the program without regard
to American opinion, since Mr. McKin
ley has elected to retire from the posi
tion which should have been taken.

John M. Palmer, jex-United States sen
ator from lllioms and the candidate of
the Gold Democrats--of the country for
president in 1890, died at his residence
in this city at o clock this morning.
Ex-Senator Gorman1 Consid

Vote the Ticket-Outlook In New York
Washington, Sept. 25. Ex-Senator
Gorman appears to believe that there"
is a very fair chance of Bryan's ele
tion.
'I do not believe either party has
made a canvass which would warrant a
conclusion as to the probable result of
the election," he said to a reporter to
day. 'Tt is several weeks before the elec
tion and campaigns run more or less in
waves. There is a drift a very decided
drift in favor of the Democrats, which
justifies the hope that Bryan will be
elected. Political conditions seem much
as they were in 1892." ' Y"
Is it your opinion that the gold Bern-
ocrats are generally supporting the
ticket? was asked.
"The men who are politicians are nat- ,
orally party men, and the moderate men
that is, those of moderate wealth are
back in the party supporting the ticket.
The smaller number of men of great
wealth who are at the head of some
great corporations and moneyed insti
tutions are not generally coming to the
support of Mr. Bryan. The men of mod
erate fortune, the middle class of busi
ness men and those who want to get
back into their party are going to give
the ticket their support." -
"llow about the situation in Jsew
York?" -
"I .cannot speak from personal knowl
edge as to New York. The men who are
managing politics for the Democrats
in that State say that they are going
to carry it. They are sincerely ' confident.
They believe they are going to succeed.
The Democratic managers generally feel
confident in the general situation and
believe that Mr. Bryan is going to be
elected. The drift is strongly in . tha t
direction."

John MeAuley Palmer was a native of
Kentucky, having been born in that
State in 1817. At an early age, how
ever, his family removed to Illinois in
1831, settling in Carlinville. He received
the greater part of his education in that
State and was admitted to the bar in
1839. He was a delegate to the peace
convention in Washington in 1&61 and
after the outbreak of the Civil War he
became a colonel in the Fourteenth Illi
nois Volunteers. Later in the year he
became a brigadier general. He served
with General Pope at the capture of
New Madrid and also commanded the
First brigade, first division, of the Army
of the Mississippi. He afterward com
manded a division. In" 1862 he was
made a major general of volunteers and
led the Fourteenth corps in the Atlanta
campaign, tie retired rroni military lite
when the war ended. '
General Palmer has been in active
politics fifty years. Originally he was a
Democrat, , hwt supported Fremont ' in
1856'. Then he became a Democrat af
ter the war, and in 1806 headed the Pal
mer and Buckner ticket.
