L-ondon, Sept. 26-It is learned authen

cially to the German' note, tout that a
rough draft of a reply has been drawn
up. In this reply, England accepts the
principle of Germany's proposition, but
says that the punishment of the ring
leaders of the Chinese outrages should
not be allowed to conflict with the open
ing of -peace negotiations.
In this the British reply is similar
to that of Russia.

operations. He declined to express his

Not Willing to Plow Tip Crops In Order
to Root Oat Weeds.
Denver, Col., Sept. 26. Governor
Rodsevelt arrived here this morning on
his campaign trip. In an address he
paid his respects to Governor Thomas,
who had criticised him as to his lack of
frankness in discussing the money ques
tion in the West. He said:
"If he had read my letter, which was
published in Denver, exactly as in New
Y'ork or Milwaukee, he would have
found his questions already answered.
But, without regard to 'that, let me
state that of course I stand now, as I
have always stood, on the platform of
my party. I am for protective tariff,
the gold standard, expansion and the
honor of the flag."
Turning 'to the issues of the cam
paign, Governor Roosevelt said that, in
common with, every individual and every
institution in the last four years, trusts
had flourished. When prosperity came
every section and every class had its
fault. Undoubtedly, he said, many of
these vast combinations of capital had
evil tendencies. "Good weather for
crops," he said, "is also good for weeds.
While I am willing to do all I can to
destroy the weeds, I am" not willing to
plow up the crops; to do it.
"The trust is a new evil," he declared,
"and we must feel our way to find how
best to root it out."

Shanghai, Sept. 25. (11:10 p. m.) The
memorial sent to the throne by Li Hung
Chang and" the viceroys of the southern
and central provinces, asking for the
denunciation of Prince Tuan, Prince
Chwang and the leaders of the Boxer
movement; was delayed in transmission
and was not Teceived by Emperor
Kwang Hsu and the Dowager Empress,
who were at Tai Yuen Fu, until Sep
tember 18. The pi-omotion of Prince
Tuan to be president of the Grand Coun
cil, and of Prince Chwang, who "'was the
deputy commander iti chief of the Box-'
ers, to be a grand councillor, had already
been announced.
, Advices from reliable Chinese sources,
which were received today, state that "
the memorial was sent direct to the em
peror and empress dowager, but was not
opened until the meeting of the Privy
Council on the morning of September
20, as ah such documents are s-upposed
to reach the throne through that bod v.
This -meeting was attended by the eiii--peror
and dowager empress and b.
Prince Tuan, Prince Chwang, Kang Y
the president of the minis'trv of war, wh
favored the rebels, General Wang Wen
Shao and Cliao Shu Chio, who-is ac
cused of making a report to rh dowa
ger empress in favor of the Boxers.
The emperor 'handed the memorial to
the council and after it had been read,
he began a bitter tirade against Tuan
and Chwang. He told them they , were
responsible for all the trouble. They
had, he said, only the ability 'to start
trouble aaid did not care for the conse
quences. Prince Tuan and Prince
Chwang sat together. The emperor
pointed his' finger at them and said:
"You have caused nil the inconven
ience and disgrace of the court and king
being compelled to leave Pekin. Now
can't you make a suggestion of some
way to get out of the trouble?"
The dowager empress, who sat be
side the emperor, leaned forward in her
seat and, pointing her finger directly at
General Wang Wen Shao, who was re
ported at one time to have been killed
while assisting tne foreigners, and af
terward 'was said to have had a fight
vith Prince Tuan's forces, said:
"You are the only intelligent man in
the council and we must depend upon
you wholly to suggest plans. You are'
commanded, in answer to, the present
memorial, to show us a way out of the
difficulties."
Prince . Tuan and Prince Chwang "lis
tened angrily to the words of the em
peror and dowager empress, but made
no reply and the audience ended. '
Wang. Wen Shao has the record of be-..
5ng the only man who d- not lose his
head during the trouble. He is friendly
to the Chinese -leace commission and
will not wbey the dowager empress un
til he has consulted them.
-e promotion of Princes Tuan and
Chwang has its disadvantages for them.
As 'members or the ro-al lamilv. they
could have private audiences with" he
dowager emnress without .restriction."
The council of which they arc now mem
bers is consulted on all questions of
State: but one of the oldest traditions
of the court forbid any of the members
to approach the throne unless accom
panied by others, except they have been
sent on a private mission.
Then they must apply for a special
audience, through the council, and, as
this body is very iealons of Its preroga
tives, the reouest is usually not grant
ed. For this reason Tuan's strength
and influence in private audiences with.'
the empress be of no account. -
