A period ef forty-five minutes was occupied in considering the verdict. KAISER DSI'T BELEIVE CHANG. Won't Recognize Him Until Ha Has Shown Credentials. "Washington, D. C (Special.)

Mr. Takahlra, Japanese minister, yes terday led Acting Secretary Adee to un ferstand that his government would approve the American note, but this, tf course, was merely an expression of personal opinion.

The attorney general said: "The state of Nebraska has an enttl- trust law which prohibits foreign cor poratlons which are trusts doing busi ness there. It is my duty to enforce that law. Among the foreign corpora tions doing business in Nebraska are the Standard Oil company and the American School Furniture company.

I have Just finish ed taking the testimony of President Boyd and I believe the result will be suits In Nebraska that will result in driving the corporations out of ths state. "At Chicago I summoned the general manager and the secretary of the Standard Oil company to appear and testified. They ignored the summons. Instead of having them subpoenaed I came on here to the concern's head quarters. I will not ask to have Mr. Rockefeller subpoenaed unless he fol lows the example of his Chicago sub ordinates and ignores the simple sum mons.

I At 7 this morning, when the Jail was opened, Bigham was found dead on the J floor. He had been terribly beaten, and marks of teeth were found all over his body. Wanlund was sitting on the bed. Hs was asked to explain. "I killed him," he replied, "becaust he was not a Christian." THE STEEL STRIKE RUUOR. Wage Question Said to Be In a Critical Stage. New York. (Special.) It is admitted in steel and Iron circles today that the wage question, in which several of the big companies are deeply interested, is in a crucial stage. Before many days, it Is stated, the question whether a strike will be de clared or not will be decided by ths members of the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers in their own lodges. Warner Arms, vice president of the American Tin Plate company, said that when the matter had not been settle! at the last conference, the officers of tht association decided to let the men taks it In their own hands.

Me-TnuUi Wallace, a tat big rlhl DISCORD RUSSIAN GENERAL DISAGREES WITH ALLIES. RUSSIA AGAINST CHINA The Czar's Ceneral Declines To Cease Hostilities and Street Fighting In Pekln Coea On. Pekln. Aug. 17. On August 15 the American troops attacked the gates leading Into the imperial city. The battery of the Fifth artillery sent shells from an elevated position on the gate. The Fourteenth and Ninth United States Infantry and marines entered be low and fired on the Chinese troops. Then they pushed vti to the gate. The American gallings did good work, and gate after gate was blown In and the Chinese shelled out and the Infantry rushed in. Four gates were taken In the afternoon. The operations halted and a conference of generals resulted in the withdrawal of the American troops. At the conference all except tne Russians agreed not to violate the imperial city, and decided that the ob ject of the expedition had been accom plished, pending further advices from the interested powers. The Russian general stated that his government had iedared war against China. The raill laiy authorities are not in communka l,oa with the Cnirieee government. Tr.e Japanese, Russian and British troops ie in Uie Tartar city. The Chinese are not all out The American casualties ere ten killed and twenty wounded. London, Aug. 24. Fires, fighting and Jlsensioa are apparently following In Ihe wake of the relief of Pekln. The Daily Hall publishes dispatches from the Chinese capital dated as late as August 17, declaring that a great fire was tnen raging in the Imperial city. The Russian commander had declined lo accept the decision of the other gen ii als not to violute the imperial pre cincts, and street fighting was going on. Ceneral Chaffee, so It Is asserted, maintained that the Chinese had been adequately punished already, and that it would be unwise to take the palace. This explains the withdrawal of the Americans after breaching the three gates, as cabled. The Russian general, however, main tained that his government had de clared war against China and that, therefore, there was no reason to pre vent him from carrying hostilities Into :he sacred precincts. Judging from the various, and in many cases contradictory dispatches that have reached Europe from Pekln, the commanders eventually adopted a Diddle course, for a Reuter telegram isserts that the sentries were placed to prevent looting. Hence it is presumed .hat the Imperial building will not be lestroyed. The fires appear to be ln- rendlary, and to be put out by the Chi lese themselves. All the dispatches point to the fact :hat when the last mease tigers left Pe tln the commanders were somewhat at ea regarding their future action, aU waiting Instructions from their gov rnments. The foreign residents appear to have been sent to Tien Tsln, although the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Dally Mail says the ministers will not leave Pekln until negotiations for in demnity are under way. Neither the commanders nor the dip lomats were In communication with the Chinese government August 17. They were then searching for. Prince Tusn. Among the puzzling reports ss to tht whereabouts of the empress uif Is one from St Petersburg, that she Is in the vicinity of Pekln, but surrounded. The emperor seems to hsve disappear ed completely. St. Petersburg dlspstches announce good progress in the Manchurian cam paign. The town of Mergen was cap tured August IS. with trifling Russian loss, while the Chinese suffered severe ly, leaving ten guns, 700 rifles and large quantities of ammunition in the hsnds of the Russians. The reports of risings In Northern Cores are confirmed. It Is believed that these are not due to Ill-will to ward foreigners, but to local dissatis faction. The Corean government is sending troops to the disaffected dis trict. According to telegrams fnw Shang hai considerable uneasiness Is felt there over the fact that no dispatches have been received from Pekln since Aug, 20. CXECK KPKISIX8 AT HARKOW.

A band of Chinese tried to set Are to a bouse adjoining the customs bank, which is adjacent to the British concession, with the object of pillaging the bank and burning the Eu rope an quarter. The viceroy, however, took Immediate ateps and arrested ths ringleaders, seising at the same time arms and documents demonstrating the existence of secret society and aa or ganised plot.

"Today L500 of the Americans attacked the Imperial palace," says a dispatch to the Morn ing Post from Pekln. dated August 15, "and captured four of the courts. The American flag Is flying over the Imper ial granary, and the Imperial bank has oeen looted." Describing events prior to the relief, hte Morning Post's correspondent ca bles: "On August 12 the tsung 11 ya men requested a conference with a view to peace. No armistice was granted, however, and that night we endured the longest fusilade of the whole siege. It lasted twelve hours. "August 13 the tsung It yartieii beg ged to be excused from any conference, saying that the members were too busy. Later they wrote that they had for bidden firing on us and would court martial any who disobeyed. During the evening many shells fell In the legation compound." The Daily Chronicle publishes an in terview with the Japanese minister In London, Kato Takakl, which represents him as having said: "The empress is the heart and soul of China; jo long as she lives, so long as she remains in China, whether the supreme power is taken from her or not, she will always be the greatest force, the one above all others recog nized. The difficulty will be to gel any one who will speak for her. I fear that the Influence of LI Hung Chang Is now of extremely little weight. "The powers must come to a final understanding quickly. Itlots, anarchy, bloodshed and misery throughout China will be the Inevitable result of a policy that does not immediately disclose it self. The government must be re-ea- tabllshed." JAPANESE HAVE THE PALACE. Pakln Is Districted Between the International Forces. Washington, D. C (Sperlal.) The Japanese legation today received the fo. lowing advices from the foreign office at Tokio, dated August 23: "The commander of the Japanese fleet at Taku transmitted by telegraph, Au gust 21, the following report from Pe kln: " "The Japanese regiment, which had been detailed early on the 15th for the purpose of protecting the Imperial pal ace, had hard fighting all day, but they could not bring it to decisive issue, ts they refrained from firing on the pjlace. On the following day, however, they took Its principal gate, and now the city is almost entirely cleared of the enemy. " 'The Imperial family and the minis ters of state left for Slan five or six days ago, escorted by 3,000 troops, un der Tung Fuh Slang. " 'With the object of restoring order, the city has been divided into districts, Japan being assigned the northern half, and Japan, the United States, Great Britain, Rupisa and France each have deputed an officer to carry on the ad ministration. " 'Price Tuan's residence has been j burned down by the Japanese. The Jap anese naval detachment, which guarded the Japanese legation, loot during ths siege five killed and eight wounded. " 'The Japanese force, which now oc cupy the imperial palace, has rescued foreign and native Christians from their confinement' " WORRY OVER LACK OF NEWS. The Chinese are Between Peklr and Tien Tsln. London. (Special.) The foreign con suls at Shanghai, not having received anything from Pekln later than August 17, fear the Chinese troops are operat ing along the rear of the allies, cut ting their communications. The blockade of press messages at the Che Foo telegraph office continues. But these In no way Interfere with offi cial dispatches, which sre put ahead. A belated dispatch from Pekln, dated August 14, ssys Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, is 111. The attempted uprising at Hankow is causing uneasiness. In all twenty seven warships have assembled st Shanghai and Wu Sing, the crews num bering 7,000 men. The German government's reply to Li Hung Chang's peace negotiation and peace proposition is "that owing to the lack of any properly accredited au thority on the Chinese side," the gov ernment of Germany cannot enter lnte negotiations. SIXTH CAVALRY II BATTLE. They Have Six Wounded and Slay Three Hundred Chlneae. Tien Tsln. (Special.) The United States Sixth cavalry engaged several thoussnd Boxers and Chinese troops miles west of Tien Tsln. Our loss was six wounded. The Chinese loss was U0 killed and fifty prisoners. In con trast with the savagery of the Chi nese, the American surgeons dressed the wounds of the Chinese, The Brit ish Infantry assisted, burning live vil lages. The bungling of General Dorwood re sulted In the escape of the Chinese, who fought bravely. There was hand to hand fighting with the Sixth cavslry, who worked with the precision of drill. The Pekln line baa been repaired for forty miles. Pekln residents art ex pected here today. Galena, III Edgar Bpratt, aged U, waa hilled by the explosion of a shot gun.

GREAT GROWDS LISTEN Jerry Simpson Presidee and Patt erson and Ruoher of Colorado Deliver Speeches. Tepeka, Kai,, Aug. 23. Mr., Bryan to day received the second official notifi cation of his nomination for the presi dency. Tills notification came from the populist party, and Thomas M. Pat terson of Colorado acted as the mouth piece of the party in making it. He was at the same time, informed of the Indorsement of his candidacy by t he United States Monetary league, this notification being given by A. W. Ruektr. The ceremonies ocrurred In the spa elous and beautiful grounds of the state capitol and were witnessed by a large number of people. In many respects the meeting paral leled the Indianapolis notification. This was true In the fact that both were in parks, that the weather was intensely hot and in the circumstance that the Impatience of the crowd compelled the' speakers preceding Mr. Bryan to cur- tall their remarks. Indeed not one of j the speakers was allowed to speak at j the length he had evidently counted j upon, and as a result the entire pro ceedings covered only about an hour and a half of time. There was, however, an audible sigh sf relief, mingled with the applause which greeted the appearance uf the na tional leader upon the platform when he air.ved at 3:30, and It was evident j ven then that while there was a gen-j eral desire to hear and see him, the j audience was finding ths situation too uncomfortable lo be long endured. There was little delay after the ar rival of Mr. Bryan and 'he other not ables. State Chairman lildgely of tne i populist party promtly assumed thej chair and he Immediately introduced James A. Troutman, who, as the rep resentative of the mayor of Topeka, made a brief speech, welcoming Mr. Lryan to the city. GREETED BY REPUBLICAN. Mr. Troutman was formerly liruten snt governor of the state and he Is a republican In politics. His speech was petaonally complimentary to Mr. Bryarr and was further an appeal for the ex ercise of the franchise by ail good and intelligent citizens as the best safe-1 guard of our institutions. He referred to the "vast throng of people" before him as an evidence of the high regard in which the distinguished visitor Is held and said that while he is not au thorized to assure Mr. Bryan of the electoral vote of Kansas, he could as sure him of the admiration of every citizen of the state. Mr. Troutman was followed by Frank Doster, chief Justice of the state, who extended tne weicome of the slate at large. He had prepared a speech, but he delivered only a small part of It, be cause of the heat and the evident de sire to hear Mr. Bryan. Judge Doster contented himself in what he did say In contrasting the positions of the dem ocrats and republicans on the subject of expansion, taking the position that the republicans were looking to undue aggression, while the democrats were seeking to continue the maintenance of American Institutions. Mr. Doster was followed by Jerry Simpson, who was Introduced as the permanent chairman In the absence of National Chairman Butler. Mr. Simp son made a brief speecn, congratulating Topeka upon being selected as a place for the notification of Mr. Bryan by a great party as its candidate for the presidency. He compared Mr. Bryan with Lincoln, and predicted thst he would lead the people back to the land mark of human liberty which Lincoln had so materially assisted In establish ing. CUT SPEECHES SHORT. With this Mr. Simpson Introduced Mr. Patterson, who, as chairman of the na. tional populist convention, became chairman of the notification commit tee. Mr. Patterson was received with applause and many of his points were loudly cheered, but Ilka' Judge Doster be materially reduced the length of his speech because of the heat and of the patience of the audience, ,.! Judge A. W. Rucker, who conveyed to Mr. Bryan the Information of his In dorsement by the United States Mone tary league, had slso to yield to the demands of the audience for a curtail ing of his remarks. He was given sn opportunity to be briefly heard, and to make a number of points which met with the approval of the auditors. When. Mr. Rucker took his seat Mr, Simpson lost no time In Introducing Mr. Bryan, whose voice soon bad the effect of quieting the crowd. Hs was received with a burst of ap plause when he arose, but the demon stration soon quieted down, and thence, forth the Interest of the audience was Biads manifest by the undivided atten tion which was given. Mr. Bryan read the greater part of bis address from manuscript, and the delivery consumed about forty minutes of time, hut the eitwd listened Intently throughout and Without any manifestation of Impa tience or disapproval. When he ceased peaking those present were Invited to shake hands with him and many vail ed themselves of this opportunity. cut Ti c::no urn. Mr. Bryan Repllea to Another Nom ination at Topoka. Topeka. Ksn. (Special)-Before be ginning his address proper at the noti fication meeting. Mr. Bryan took occa sion to reply to Mr. Troutman's wel coming remarks. This he did extempo raneously snd as follows: "1 desire in the beginning to thank the authorities of this state and city for the nonpar tisan welcome which has been delivered thrnuirh Mr. Troutman. I appreciate the liberty of thought, the generosity too Infrequent in politics, mat enames po litical opponents to thus tender the freedom of the city to one with whom they do not agree on political questions. I am grateful for the kind words which were spoken, and appreciate the ad miration mentioned, even though the ' admiration does not count as much on election day as a simple ballot (Ap plause.) I hope that as the years go by we shall be able to lift politics to a higher and brighter plane, so that we can fight out these questions as citi zens, equally earnest and equally hon est, each one respecting the other's rights. I thank the state administra tion and the city administration for this courteous and cordial greeting." He then began the reading of the ad dress as originally prepared, only stop ping to Interject a few words in reply to the notification of Judge Rucker, as follows: "And let me pause to say that when this speech was prepared and given to the press I did not know that formal announcement of the resolution passed by the monetary league would be made at this time, and I desire here to ex press my gratitude to the members of that league for the support which they nromlse. and for the cordial commenda tion which their resolutions speak. The monetary league has for four years been active In the distribution of liter ature connected with the money ques tion .aimed at the enlightenment of voters, and I have on former occasions and do now express my commendation of the efforts of this league and of sim ilar leagues, to spread before the peo ple Information on the money question, because I believe th mure the question is studied and the better it is under stood, the stronger will be the demand for the restoration of the double stand ards In the United States." (Great ap plause.) HAIL BRYAN AS LEADER. Thousands of Nebraskans Llaten to Domocratlo Candidate. Falls City, Neb. (Special.) At Falls City tonight, before 6,000 or 7,000 wildly cheering people. William J. Bryan clos ed a most successful day's campaigning in the FirBt congressional district. During the day he has spoken to more than 15,000 people gathered In four county seats. Everywhere he has been met by a most deeply Interested, stu diously attentive and generously en thusiastic people.The size of the crowds that have gathered to meet him, the earnest attention with which they have listened as he preached the gospel of democracy, and the loud and generous applause with which everywhere hla plea for the preservation of the repub lic have been received, nilke attest the growing disfavor with which the peo ple are regarding President McKinley's policy of imperialism. It was signifi cant that even In such a. citadel of re publicanism as Pawnee City business houses were generously decorated with the American colors and pictures of Bryan and Berge. At every point were heard most encouraging stories of de fections from the republican ranks, caused by the administration's Porta Rican and Philippine policy, by ths growth of the trusts and the grow ing menace of a constantly Increasing standing army. BERGB IS GAINING. Everywhere, too, was gratifying evi dence of the strength of George W. Berge in this district At every point Mr. Bryan's high eulogies of Mr.Berge's character and his Insistence of the ne cessity for Mr. Berge's election, were so kindly received that It seems evident the people of the First district do not longer Intend to be represented in con gress by a dodger and a straddter. Mr. Bryan was also careful to call to the attention of the audience the import ance of the election of a fusion legis lature. Inasmuch as the election of twa United States senators Is Involved.
