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 tions."

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.

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. t w!i t tlie authorities aere fay it Several newsners tate that the re- :hat Prince 'luan wouhl not be ,1iAt if Ttnssin nmd .Tanan to th'1 Ger- ' the govenrment. of the inan proposals in regaw' "'inihment 1 S- w.

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.
