LIFE ON TIIE MONITORS
Third Commander of the Monadneck
Sent Home on the Sick List
Washington, Oct. 1 The Navy De
partment was informed today that Capt.
Edward T. Strong, commanding the
monitor Monadnock, had been invalided
home. The Monadnock has haVi three
commanding officers in the two years she
has been in-active service in the Philip
pines. Capt. Henry E. Michaels died
on board the monitor from sunstroke at
Manila, June 10, 1800, and- Capt. John
McGowan, who succeeded him, was in
valided home early this year.
The hardships of life on board the
monitors at Manila caused Secretary
Long to lrue an order that no officer
should be attached to any of them for
more than six months.. ' Their low free
boards make them exceedingly uncom
fortable ships at sea, and the necessity
of living so close to the water and in
poorly ventilated quarters beneath the
water-line have proved detrimental to the
health of many officers and men.

TUAN CALLED TO TIME
Previous Report of Hie Degradation
Conflrmed-TIen Kan YI and Chans
Chip Tons Acceptable as Peace fom
mlsslonere General Chaffee Makes
Selection or Troops, for Legation
Guard
Washington, Oct. 1. On reaching the
department this morning, Secretary Hay
found on his desk a telegram from
Robert McWade. United States consul
at Canton, confirming the issue by Em
peror Kwang Hsu of an edict providing
for the degradation and trial of Prince
Tuan and other anti-foreign leaders for
causing the trouble in which China has
become involved. He received also a
telegram from Minister Conger at
Pekin, which contained information that
may call for important action by this
government.
Mr. Conger's dispatch tells of the ap
pointment of the Chinese peace commis
sion and among the commissioners nam
ed is General Jung-Lu, who commanded
the Imperial troops in Pekin during. the
attacks .on the foreign legations and
stands accused by Minister Conger and
others of being a participant in the at
tacks. Unless that accusation is disproved
and Jung-Iu is showi to have been as
he claims aqd the Chinese government
professes, a consistent friend of the lega
tions during the period of tlieir ordeal
of shot and shell, the United States will
hardly consent to accept him as a pleni
potentiary to negotiate a peace arrange
ment. This government has decldred
that it will not 'deal with any Chinese
concerned in the anti-foreign outrages
and Jung-Lu stands accused of being in
that category. The dispatch from Mr.
McWade read's:
"Decree'just issued. Emperor blames
(his) ministers for whole troubles. Or
ders Tuan, Kang Yi, and other officials
degraded and punished by the imperial
court. The Emperor fiolds Tuan and
others entirely responsible (for) blood
shed." , '
The dispatch of Minister Conger was
as follows:
"Have received notice today from
Prince Chinjr, that he, Earl Li, Jung-Lu
and Viceroys 'j.ien Kun Yi, and Cnaug
Chio Tung will act in concert in nego
tiation, for peace.- Jung-Lu is in inter
iors -Lrilung Chang is at Tien Tsin. '
Jung-Lus absence in the interior is
said to be a measure of safety on hi
part.,. He does not dare, it is also said,
to show himself in Pekin until the pow
ers have declared whether he is accept-
Ti'en Kun Yi and Chan- Chip Tungi
named with Ching Li, and and Jung Lu
as peace commissioners, are the viceroys
of Nakin and Wn-Chang. They are
acceptable to the United States, and it
is believed to all the other powers. Dur
ing the period of the anti-foreign excite
ment in China they co-operated with the
foreign consuls of the southern Chinese
ports in maintaining' order in their pro
vinces and showed pronounced pro-foreign
tendencies. Prince Ching and Earl
Li are acceptable also, to that General
Jung-Lu is the only Chinese plenipo
tentiary to whose appointment there is
likely to be any objection.
General Chaffee has reported to the
War Department that he has selected
the Ninth infantry, third squadron of
Sixth cavalry and light battery to consti
tute the legation guard to be left m
Pekin. He says that he shall try, to get
all supplies for this guard at Tung Chow
before the water in the Pei Ho falls.
This means that they will be sent from
Tien Tsin nn the Pei Ho to Tung Chow,
where a base of supplies will be estab
lished. The dispatch follows:
Received your No. 42 and 4o. The
Ninth infantry, third squadron of Sixth
cavalrv and lie:ht battery will constitute
legation jruard. Shall endeavor to get
all supplies to Tung Chow before water
faThe following dispatch from General
Chaffee, dated x"aku, September 30, -as
been received at the War Department:
"Health command good. Have accept
ed invitation hospital ship Maine to
transfer some convalescents to hospital
ship Relief now returning Nagasaki.
The hospital ship Maine was fitted out
bv citizens of England and the Relief
to which it is proposed to transfer the
convalescent is an army transport now
at Nagasaki. , .
. Secretary Hav returned to W ashing
ton last night from his sojourn in the
New Hampshire hills somewhat unprov
ed in health, but not entirely recovered.
He expresses himself as very much grati
fied over the aspect of the Chinese situa
tion. He denied that there is friction
between the President and himself..
The Expedition to Shan-Hol-Kwan
Washington, Oct. 1. The press dis
patch from Tien Tsin that a joint ex
pedition of foreign forces, in which the
United States ship Brooklyn will parti
cipate, Will proceed from Taku to Shan-Hai-Kwan,
is not conmrnied- by the
Xaw Department. The department
doubts that Admiral Remey would join
in such a movement without seeking the
advice of the government and he has
not done so.' If the expedition have a
hostile intention it is not probaible; offi
cials say, that Remey will send an
American ship, as such action would oe
contrary to the spirit of .the. present at
titude of the United. States.
It is regarded as reasonable, however,
that the expedition has for its object
merely the control of Shan-Hai-Kwan
because that place is the water terminus
of an unfortified overland route to
Pekin, which would be more available,
if a winter campaign becomes neces
1 ;. hfin thp route from Taku. The
pei Ho which runs from Taku to Pekin,
ibecomes frozen about November 1st, and
makes river traffic between the Chinese
capital and Taku impossible.

they immediately held a conference with

The visit of Mr. Barrett is said to be
in connection with matters in the Orient.
He is said to be ones of the best inform
ed men in the country on the Chinese
question. He came to confer with the'
President on these questions.
Senator Penrose's mission was of a
political nature, but just what was not
disclosed. The call of President chwab
of the Carnegie Company carries with
it considerable significance, especially
so since the announcement Monday
morning that Mr. Carnegie had declared
for Mr. McKinley. Mr. Schwab was
with the president for some time.

SPEAKS OF IDLE MILLS
He Quotes Irom a Speech by ITIcKlnley
In 1894 and Analyzes His Record on
the Trust Subject Since He Became
President The Republican Part 1
Driven from One Issue to another in'
the Present Campaign . !
Duluth Minn., Oct. i. When William
J. BryanJeturied to this city today from
West Superior. Wis., where he had soent
the night, he found his train elaborately .
decorated. His picture tiled the place
of a headlight on the locomotive while
a. motto in large letters was strung along
Mr. Bryan's car, which declared, "Tho
Republic forever; .an empire never."
Mr. Bryan's first speech of the day
was delivered from 'the Tefauda of the
West Superior Hotel in West Superior.
He began there at a few minutes before
8 o'clock and talked naif an hour to -a
large Audience, djvelling especially on
the trust question and .making special
reference to a combination of the flour
mill industries. 1
In this, speech Mr. Bryan also referred -to
a' speech made by President McKinley -in
1894in which the President attacked
the Democratic- party. He quoted tho
following from that speech:
''They were the enemies of the trusts
when they wanted the votes of the peo
ple in 18S2, and when they got the pow
er to deal a blow at trusts, according
to the testimony, of"; their own members,
they became the willing tools of the
most gigantic trust of the country."
Remarking upon .this quotation, Mr. '
Bryan said: ' -
"Mr. McKinley complains that the r
Democrats did not destroy the trusti
when they had an opportunity and when
he complained you -must believe he wua
honest in his complaint. You cannot ac
cuse him of being, a hypocrite, and yet
Mr. McKinley has been president for
three and a half years arid during thacv
time more trusts have been organized, y
than in all the previous history of tho
country, and ho has allowei three ses
sions of Congress to convene, and adjourn
and' did '.not. -recommend alspecitijc meas- t
urefor the distruction of the trusts. And '
Mr: Hanna, who stands at the head o
the Republitftfn fTjational committee, dur ; .
ing this campaign, and -who-stood at th
head of the Republican national com
mittee in 1890, declared the other day,
that thei-e were no trusts. '
"Now, if yoif believe 'Mr. McKmley
was honest wrhen he condemned Hha
rpmnpMfs for not desovin'sr the trust?
how can you explain his policy in doingf
the same thing? He selected an attoi
tipV cpnprnl from New Jersey, wherb
mnst'n r the trusts have tneir homes. -and i
that attorney general draws his salary i
for not interfering with the trusts. Thaj
attorney general of the State of NeyY
braska, a Democrat, elected on the fu-V
sion ticket, has brought more,, suits in.1
the State of Nebraska against the trusts
than the Republican attorney general
of the United States has brought agains6
the trusts of the United States."
At Du!uthr Mr. Bryan snoke in the
armory,! from which air the seats had
been taken in order to accommodate a',
manv people as possible. Air. Bryaaj
said-'he could hope to add nothing to th
arguments which had been made here,
by Hon. Charles A. Towne. who residesj
here, yif he cannot warn you sufficient

Republican party is toward the money
qnes-tion, the party is being driven from.
it and some are. taking refuge in -theA.
tariff question." The speaker said that
he believed that they would also be dnr
en from that position before the cl0se
of the present campaign.
Continuing, Mr. Bryan remarked that
Lincoln celebrated Jefferson's birthday,
and then asked: "How long has it beea;
since you Republicans celebrated .th
birthday of Jefferson? W hose birthday .
do tou. celebrate? --Yon -celebrate thej
birthday of Alexander Hamilton, wh
wanted our government as nearlv likj;
the English government, as it could be. ,
Refen-ing to the trusts. Mr. Bryan,
said there could be no good monopoly m
private hands. He referred again t
Senator Hanna's declaration that if tbot
trusts should prove dangerous theReJ--publiean
paTty vould take care of.tnpm.-
"What a consolation," he e-tclaimcrt,
"to know that Mr. Hanna has his arm
around you and will protect you front
the trusts- - : .
In this connection1 he, referred to ths.
situation in the flouring mills, ia tall -vicinity,
saying: . .
"Go over to West Superior and 9
amine the flouring mills and those W
your own city. They have allowed tha
trusts to close mills. Whenever a; mill
was closed under a Oemocratic admrnls
tration the Republicans said a low tarlfl
did it, and appealed to tne people to put ,
np a high tariff, and yet 'whenever 3
trust.can close five or six -mills m onl
