which was made by the minister of war.
General Linares, unknown to the other
ministers, is regarded by them as tanta
mount to the abdication of power by Ssnor
Eilvcla, who thus "throws himself Into tbe
.rms of militarism."
The present crisis is an outcoiae of the
conflict between the civil and military ele
mcnta. Since their return from Cuba,
Generals Weyler and Linares have gath
ered around them a group In defense of the
Interests of the army and. In spite of the
budget's economies which have been uni
versally demanded, they aim to reconstruct
tho army and navy. The first step in the
direction of this plan was to proclaim the
Independence of the minister of war against
tbe members of the cabinet and General
Linares appointed General Weyler to be
captain general of Madrid, as part pf this
policy. General "Wayler, who recently ad
hered to the liberal party, which he hoped
eventually would enable him to get the
portfolio of war, announced that he ac

WASHINGTON. Oct 19, 1W0 The gov
ernment of the republic has highly appre
ciated the response which the government
of the t'nlted States has made to Its note
of the 4th of October, it has been especially
gratifying to it to observe the sentiments
of sympathy for lYance which have evi
dently Inspired that reply
All Uie interested powers have adheri'd
to the essential principle of the French
note. Insofar as concerns the points which
have called forth comments on the part
of certain cabinets, they coulc. it would
seem, be discussed among the powers or be
tween their diplomatic representatives at
Pekln In the course of th negotiation
and Twelve such modifications as might be
Judged necessary in order to more surely
and speedily attain the end.
The essential thing now Is to show the
Chlne government, which has declare!
Itself rendy to nepotlate, that the powers
ar animated by the same spirit, that they
are decided to respect the Integrity of
China and the independence of Its povern
ment. but mat they ar none the less re
solved to obtain the satisfaction to which
they have a right
In this regard It would seem that If the
proposltlona which have lieen accepted ss
the base of negotiations were communi
cated to the Chinese plenipotentiaries py
the ministers of the powers at Pekin, or
In their name by their dean, this step
would be of a nature to have a happy in
fluence upon the determination of tho
emperor of China and his government.
It goes without saying that this ool
lontlva alen -would in no wlte interfero

The government of the United States Is
gratified to learn that all the Interested
powers have adhered to the essential
principle of the French note of October 14
and trust that such reservations as they
have euggosted will, like those mentioned In
the reply of the Tnlted States, prove no
embarrassment to the progress of the
negotiation. In the course of which they
can be frankly discussed with a view to a
common agreement.
Holding, ns lt does. In accord with the
French government, that the essential
thing Is now to prove to the Chinese gov
ernment that the powers are ready to meet
In the path of peaceful negotiation and
that they are united tn their repeatedly de
clared decision to respect the Integrity of
China and the Independence of Its gov
ernment, while equally united In the resolve
to obtain rightful satisfaction for the great
wrongs they and their nations have suf
fered, this government has instructed Its
mlnlBter In Pekln to concur In presenting to
tho Chinese plenipotentiaries the points
upon which we are agreed as the Initial
step toward negotiations and toward the re
establlshment of the effective power and
authority of the imperial government.
The government of the t'nlted States be
lieves that the happy Influence upon the
determinations ot the Chinese emperor and
of his government, which the government
pf the French republic anticipates as the
result of this step, would be further in
duced if the powers were to Include as part
of their initial declaration a collective
manifestation of their determination to pre
serve the territorial integrity and ths ad
ministrative entirety of China, and to
secure for the Chinese nation and for
themselves me oenents or open and equal
commercial Intercourse between the Chinese
empire and the world at large.

Must Important Period of
Country's History.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Hon. John
Sherman, former representative In the
house, for a long term a member of the
stttate and twice holding cabinet positions,'
died at his residence In this city shortly be
fore 7 o'clock this morning In the "bth year
of bis age. His death had been expected for
days and loving friends gave him their
unremitting care and attention to the end.
The immediate cause of death was de
scribed as brain exhaustion incident to ex
treme weakness, due to old age and to
several attacks of sickness, from which he
had suffered for the past year and a half.
Since Saturday afternoon Mr. Sherman has
been most of the time unconscious, rallying
Inquiries wero made at the house con
cerning the condition of the sick man.
President McKlnley being among those
who sent to ask about him.
Hrlutlvrs Summoned.
Several days ago, realizing the critical
condition of Mr, Sherman, the members of
the household and relatives here sent tele
grams to a large number of the family
throughout the country notify
1 ing them of his extreme Illness, and some
U - ,re hie t0 rtnrn hcre l)efore he dtfd.
' .
Most of those who arrived were at the
bedside when the end came, the number ,
mciuamg Mr. ana jurs. Colgate Hoyt or
New York. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wlborg of
Cincinnati, Mrs. wiuiam K. Otis or jf
York City, P. Tecumseh Sherman, a son J
of the lato oeneral Sherman; Charles M.
Sherman of Chicago and Miss Lizzie Sher-n-an.
Others who were at tbe bedrlde were
Mrs. James McCallum, the adopted daugh- )
tcr, wno naa Deen nis constant attendant. 1
and her husband. General and Mrs. Miles. I
the latter a niece of Secretary Sherman.
were at the house the greater portion of
the day and evening, but left for their home
shortly after midnight. They were sum
moned when It wbb apparent that the end
was near and reached the house a few
r lnutes after the venerable statesman had
passed away.
Secretary Sherman's death occurred In
the handsome home on K street, which he
had erected eight years ago. It Is a large
double structure with white stone front
and with the hall running through the
middle. The house faces on Franklin
Square, the prettiest reservation and park
in the capital city. Borne weeks ago the
secretaV-y deeded this valuable property to
Mrs. McCallum. -The secretary was a large
bolder of real estate In this city, having
Invested extensively In that line from time
to time during Us residence here. Con
servative estimates of his wealth place It
at a round 11,000,000, most of which Is be
lieved to consist of Washington real estate.
Other Investments consist of securities,

sion, notwithstanding reports that Ije had

Arrangement for Funeral.
Arrangements for the funeral will be
oompleted today. As tentatively deter
mined they contemplate services being
held at the residence In this city and at
Mansfield, where tbe interment will be
made In tbe family burying ground, beside
the body ot Mrs. Sherman, who died early
in the summer. Tbe services here will be
held probably on Tuesday afternoon, tbe
body to remain at the house after the con
clusion until evening, when lt will be put
on a special train for Mansfield, leaving
here at S o'clock. Some time ago Secre
tary and Mrs. Sherman occupied a pew in
the Epiphany church here, be In later years
the secretary had no church affiliations. It
is expected that Rev. Mackey-Smlth of St.
John's Episcopal church or Rev. Dr. Aspln
wall ot St. Thomas' Episcopal church of
thlB city will be asked to conduct the
funeral services. Arriving at ManBfleld on
Wednesday, the remains will lie In state In
the "Episcopal church tn that city until the
following day, when the Interment will
take place.
Mr. Sherman had not been in robust
health for considerably over a year. In
March, IMP, while on a pleasure trip to
the French and Spanish West Indies, in
company with a relative, Mr. TranU
Wllborg, he suffered a severe attack of
pneumonia, which almost proved fatal.
The ship on which they were traveling
touched at Santiago, from which place re
ports came to tbe United States that the
well known btatcsman had succumbed to
the disease. He rallied, however, and the
family accepted the offer of tbe United
States government to bring him back to
tbe United States on tho cruiser Chicago,
then In the vicinity of Santiago, and h
was safely landed at Fort Monroe and
brought to his home In this city. Here he
gained strength and was strong enough by
summer time to visit his home In Ohio.
His remarkable vitality brought him
through a rclapBe, which he suffered dur
ing tbe heated term, and by autumn he had
regained much of his strength and seemed
to be In good spirits. He spent last
winter at his home In this city, enjoying
fairly good health, occasionally going out
to social affairs and attending the theater
with the members of his family.
Ilrntli of Wife a Severe Blow.
Tbe family left here early In the summer
for the old homestead at Mansfield, O.
Tbey were there but a short time when
Mrs. Shermau, whose health had been very
frail, died. This was a severe blow to tbe
secretary, from which he never fully re
covered. He remained at Mansfield until
the middle of September, when he returned
to Washington. He was very much broken
in health and spirits, but for a time he
was able to move about in the open air
and to take short rides around the city.
For the past three weeks or more, how
ever, he has been confined to his bed, his
general debility being aggravated by an
Irritating bronchial cough that hastened
the end.
Among Mr, Sherman's former associates In
the senate his demise will be sincerely
felt, without reference to party In this
field of activity his service had been
particularly able and successful. He bad
served so long the experience added to bit
natural talents. He was a recognized master
of all the great public questions, past and
present, and be had at his fingers' end all

HAZLETON. Pa., Oct. 22. President
Mitchell In an Interview tonight practically
udmltted that the anthracite coal miners'
strtl.e would end as soon as the operators
all posted a notice guaranteeing tbe advance
of 10 per cent until April 1. President
Mitchell said.
Tbe pruspoct of an eor!y settlement of

of the operators have nut et posted a

explained how contract miners would re

well tut all other employe and 1 believe
this obstacle can be overcome.
Tno Coniinnles Are lloldlne (Int.
Although, as President Mitchell says, the
outlook for an early settlement of the
strike is bright. It is difficult to make a
prediction as to when the end will come.
Som ot the coal companies are showing a
disposition not to issue a second notice
guaranteeing the payment of the 10 per
cint Increase in the wages until April.
Among these are the Delaware, Lacka
wunna & Western and the Delaware &. Hud
son, the officials of which companies aro
rt ported to have declined to issue a sup
plemental notice. The labor leaders hope
that the companies will In some way make
known tbey will guarantee the payment of
the advance until April 1.
President Mitchell appeared quite cheer
ful tonight when he made the announce-
11111,1 Juilt quoted and his manner Indicates
that tbe time Is near at hand when all
the anthracite miners now on a-strlke shall
return to the mines. As soon as the no

Mitchell will call a meeting of the na-

the strike will be called off.

The largest labor demonstration ever
held in this city took place today, when
nearly 7,000 miners paraded the streets.
In a carriage at their head rode Presi

ovation all along the march. Thousands
of miners, accompanied by their families,
came to the city from every mining town
in the region.
There were 150 men who had tramped
eighteen miles from the Panther valley.
The McAdoo miners, who are famed
throughout the coal fields for their perse

WASHINGTON. C-'ct. 22 -In tbe report of
Major General Otis, as governor general of

public today:
Tli monoy expended to police and 'rn

those recclpm did not supply has ben
taken from the general fund, as the ex
penditure were considered to be Impera
tive. Tho popu: itlon of Manila is mu"h
congested. The work of the provost mar
shal general has been lnccssnnt and hHH
required for Hp execution administrative
ability of a l.uge order and In many re
spects very delicate manipulation.
The floating population it- large and diffi
cult to keep in check The liquor traffic
always line been extensive, tspeclallv in
the matter of Intoxicating native drin'ts.
This traffic has been the subject of concern
and mature dellleratlon In reducing tbi
number of licenses which Spain grantnd
freely, the natives complained grievously
that they were deprived of the tirlvlleg.'s
which Spain bestowed. Notwithstanding
these complaints, the saloons were greatly
diminished, but could not be entlrelv with
held, uor could the traffic be destroyed by
any means within our power Enperlenre
led to the belief that It could be controlled
through careful manipulation under h
Btrlngent license law,
An order issued by tho provost marshal
of Manila Is also given, showing the re
strictions that hnve been plsced upon the
saloons and giving the license fees which
are charged. Following this order the le
port continues:
Tho restraining Influences have re.xultod
tn placing the liquor truffle under the c.v
trol of the police and their officers, end
have been attended by tho reforms an

Is anywhere n more quiet and orderly city

WANAMAKER ON QUAY'S TRAIL
Former rmtmiulrr General Says Bi-St-nntnr'a
Politic and Morals
Are Worse Than Twerd'11.
POTTSTOWN, To., Oct. 22. Former Post
master General John Wanamaker tonight
made his first political address In two
years. His speech here was tbe begin
ning of a brief tour In the interests of the
candidates for the state legislature, who are
opposed to the Quay ring ot the republican
party In thie state. '
At tbe beginning of his address Mr. Wan
amaker said that four years ago he spoke
In advocacy ot the election ot Mr. McKlnley
and would have done the same thing this
year had there been any question of Penn
sylvania's vote for McKlnley. He sold
also that be was In no wise a candidate for
the office of United States senator, though
had tbe office come to him In 1S5C he would
have accepted it.
Mr. Wanamaker sererely scored what
be termed the "machine" and said that
Tweedlsm at its worst was no worse than
Quaylsm at Its best, but there was no
best Quaylsm, as there Is no good bad.
He then spoke of tho value of good gov
ernment and tbe benefits to b derived there
from. In this connection he referred to
the Btrike In the anthracite coal region and
said that good government would prevent
the flagrant violation of the constitution by
the coal companies constituting themselves
miners, shippers and merchants In coal,
keeping company Btores, paying -wages nt
long Intervals, denying check welghmen,
employing children at deadly tasks and en
dangerlng the lives ot miners by Ignoring
precautions tor their safety.
"Good government," said Mr. Wana
maker, "by removing the Indefensible dis
crimination In transportation would have re
moved the chief cause for strike by 160.000
men, which has deprived them of their
wages and wasted the capital of such of
their employers as. are at tbe mercy of tbe
railroads."
Mr. Wanamaker said in deploring that
he was not a candidate for the senate that
he wanted to be freer than ever before to
fight tbe forces of evil In this plundered
and debauched state.

Croud Ilnthrr 1 nrnly.
The conditions of tbe debate were the
same as those attending tbe debate in
Omaha, Mr. Hitchcock having the affirmative
and the divisions and allotments ot time
being the same. The progress of the de
bate was attended by periods ot marked
disorder, even surpassing tho unrullness
manifested by the crowds ot democratic
clacquers In tho tent meeting at Omaha,
tho leading factor in which was said to be
one Frank Marnell. steward of the State
Asylum for the Blind In this city. There
appeared to be a determined effort on the
part of the contingent which he lod to In
terrupt tic opposition to the popocratlc
regime, which was so pronouncod at one
time as to call for a rebuke even from Mr
Hitchcock's presiding officer, who reminded
the disturbers that both ot tbe speakers
were strangers and bespoke a fair hearing
far both for the credit ot Nebraska. City.
Mr, HitcliLork opened tbe debate with
a repetition ot his Omaha panegyric on
Imperialism, In the progress of which be
flung himself at Mr. Rosewatcr full length
and brandlshod his fist under the letter's
noso with threatening and dramatic fervor,
unraveling his Fourth of July oratory upon
his hobby of the consent of tbe governed.
He recounted more In detail than in any
of his former efforts the services ot
Agulnaldo In nubdulng the Spanish forces
in Luzon, saying that after tbe first shot
bad been fired upon the American flag
Agulnaldo had disclaimed lt and begged
for peace, but the "American general re
sponded brutally, that the firing having
been begun, lt must go on." He told of the
cost In money and lives and our high repu
tation among tho nations of the earth,
but the prayers of Agulnaldo for peace
have always been met with the same stern
reply from the Whito House "No termB
except unconditional surrender."
I'nder Iljpnotlo Spell.
In response Mr. Rosewater referred to
the power of hypnotism In the deception
of people and declared that a large aharo
of the American people are laboring under
the spell of tho greatest political con
Juror of the age. He had hypnotised tho
people when he told them he could make
money of value by a decree ot law and
make a piece ot coin worth double Its
value, and now he has hypnotised his fol
lowers on Imperialism. Mr. Rosewater re
iterated what he has said In his previous
debates that the doctrine ot consent ot tho
governed has never been enforced; that all
human governments are governments of
force and that there Is no government by
consent except that of the married woman.
He recounted the opposition of tbe people
Involved ln, the Louisiana and Florida
purchases, when the consent of the gov
erned was not sought by those great
democrats, Jefferson and Jackson. Ne
braska was governed without ber consent.
That's how J. Sterling Morton came to be
here. He was sent here from Michigan to
tuke a position with the government and
without tbe consent of anybody In Ne
braska. The Mormons had been forced
In subjection to our government and the
late Alvln Blunders of Nebraska was one
of the despots who ruled over theBe Agtiln
aldos of other times.
Mr. Illtchcook'a Question.
In his second period Mr. Hitchcock still
stuck to Imperialism. He contended that
tbe people ot the Louisiana purchase be
came citizens at once and demanded to
know If his opponent favored making the
Filipinos citizens and bringing their cheap
labor Into competition with American labor
Then ho declared with great dramatic
fervor and excruciating muscular gyra
tions that tbo republicans recently held
primaries in Omaha, tn which a coallttoa
between Edward Rosewater, D. E. Thomp
son and the Omaha police force had won
out "In spite of right and in spite of
wrong."
The steward of the blind asylum and his
following derived such great satisfaction
from this forceful sally that they drowned
tbe latter bait ot Its words and all of Us
significance In impenetrable uproar.
Another strong point that elicited the
unqualified and clamorous approbation of
tbe blind asylum hired hands was Mr
Hitchcock's declaration that Mr. Rosewater
ub a member of the resolutions committee
at the republican national convention had
left out of the platform all mention of the
Declaration of Independence, because he
knew that the republican party was vio
lating lt.
ills Treason Shut Off.
There were, however, others In tbe house
besides the blind asylum contingent and
when Mr. Hitchcock came to a discussion
of the American soldier he heard from
them. Ho tiald there was a pathetic side
to the Philippine war In every com
mnntty tbe graves were green of the brya
who had died in that distant land.
"Had tbey died, said he, "In detenae
