Whether the powers Interested In China
tv lit ultimately reach an ugreemcnt regard
ing concerted actlo.-icems to bo uncertain,
ludglng from the results of Investigations
mado today by the correspondent of the
Awoclated Press, that no such an agree
ment has yet been reached. Tho same se

The German foreign office eUd: "Tho

jiolnls only, tho relief of Tien Tsln and
Tekln, adequate satisfaction for the injuries
rustalncd and the establishment of guar
nntees against tbe repetition of such out

tho Ninth regiment from Luzon to Taku. It
was reported by General MacArthur upon
tho receipt of tho original order to send
these troops to Chine, that owing to the
break In railway communication between
Tarlac. the headquarters of the Ninth, and

of a typhoon, it would probably not be poa
siblo for the troops to get away before Juno

that this movement shall be hastened. If it
is possible to do so, and has Instructed
General MacArthur In such fashion as to
warrant the belief here that the troops will
be on their way to China not later than
tomorrow evening, thus saving ono or two

A recent census of Tlcn Tsln shows tho
foreign population to be about l.OvO per

report from Japanese sources that l.EGO
foreigners at Tien Tsln had been massacred
would seem to be untrue or grobsly ex

Every foreigner within the city's bound

by tho secretary of the delegation. Chair
man Llndsey of tho state central commit
tee, accompanied by the new national com
mitteeman from Nebraska, R. B. Schneider,
and members of the delegation, had a short
conference with Chairman Hanna and Sec
retary Dick upon matters connected with
tho conduct of the campaign and the Im
portance of at once) beginning an active
canvass of the state, which It Is believed
here can be carried for McKInley If proper
work Is done.
For the Advliory Committer.
Senator Thurston was an early caller at
headquarters and suggested the Importance
of having some widely known Nebraska re-
ancsr on tbe-, .f,v'w cummlttce. It
i, ivr. . f. t at fc. uose-
water bo appointed on this committee,
which will have general direction of the
campaign. It was the unanimous opinion
of the leaders present that Nebraska would
be tho storm center this year and every
effort should be made to carry the whole
ticket, from president down.
It Is thought thai Chairman Hanna will
not name tho advisory committee until
about July 1. when the campaign will be
actively begun In Chicago.

ness connected with tho Arsoclated Pres.

BERLIN. June 22 Andrew D. White, tbe
United States ambassador here, said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press today,
reforrlng to the Philadelphia convention:
"Tho renomination of Prewldrnt McKInley
was expected by every thinking man abroad
and at home. It was a duo reward for mo?t
eminent service during one of the most
difficult periods in our history. Of course,
like every other president, and especially
like Washington. Lincoln, Grant and Cleve
land, he ba.s been bitterly attacked for
everything he has done, but future historians
will undoubtedly rank him among tho best
presidents.
"Thn nomination of Governor Roosevelt
was clearly ln obedience to a demand by the
entire party and, highly as he is prized as
governor, he is sure to render vast rvice5.
both during the election and as vice presi
dent. While holding that offiic ho can con
tinue to exercise the mcst happy Influence
upon American politics. He certainly ought
to accept tho nomination.
"The platform Is what was expected, and,
allowing for some minor differences of
opinion, as there always are regarding party
platforms. It will aid in the certain triumph
of the rcrubllcan party."

NEW YORK. June 22 B. B. Odell, Jr..
chairman of tho republican state commit
tee, had his attention directed today to the
statement of an ardent partisan of Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff that Governor
Roobevelt would probably resign, making
way for Woodruff In the executive office, the
expected result being tho nomination of Mr.
Woodruff for governor. Mr. Odell said
"Governor Roosevelt will not resign. Ho
will serve out his term as Grrver Cleveland
did when he was nominated for president.
1 Thcro Is no reason why ho should resign."

BRYAN ON FILIPINO RIGHTS

Dtipr.
KNOXVILLE. Tenn . June 22. The Sen
tinel prints a letter addreesed to ,t by Colo
nel W. J. Brynn. in which he exprts-w
his views upon the relations of the Fli
plnos and the Cubans and thtir rights.
It Is as follows:
1 believe that the right of the Filipinos
and the right of th Cttlwtt ste Identical
The recognition of the right of the Cuban.,
ly resolution did not create those rights.
Thev existed before.
If the Filipinos have h right to their
Independence the fact that thev fought
for it does not justify us In carrying on
a war of cotK.uc.t.
It Is not more humiliating for a nation
to recognize the rights of an opponent
than for nn individual to do so.
We would have had the same trouble In
Cuba if we hud treated the Cubans the
same ns we have the Filipinos. We would
have had no trouble In the Phlll;i:lne
Islands If we had treated the Filipinos
as we have treated the Cuban-. If we are
going to give the Filipinos their Independ
ence we ought to say so at once and thus
avoid further bloodshed
How can we Justify the sacrifice of Amer
ican soldiers nml the killing of FMiidno,
merely to show that we can whip them'.'
The Ilucon resolution received the sun
port of nearly every democratic senator
and was adopted bj a democratic eaurii,
in tho house. This resolution provided for
independence. If it had been accepted and
acted upon when it was first introduced
there would have been no Filipino war. If
It had been adopted at the time the war
vote was taken It would huvc stopped the
war. Very truly yours,
W. J. BRYAN.

ST. LOUIS, Mo.. June 25. Today has been
one of the quleteat t-lnce the Inaugural Ion
of ihe strike by the employes of the St.
IxjuIs Trat-slt company. Cars were run cn
oviry division without molestation. The po
lice report that no violence of any dc-rip-tlon
hss occurred up to a late hour tonight
The mcst Important ejccurrenee of the day
was the arrest of Ora Havill on susph l"n
of being connected with the recent dna
mlte explosion which have taken pla e
along the lines of the Transit companv.
Ora Havill let an employe of tbe Transit
company. For several week he hs been
acting as private detective and prior to that
time was employed as a guard on the ears
Havill has figured In at least two affrays in
which shots have been exchanged between
Transit company employed and strlko sym
pathizers, with serious results.
On information furnished by Havill. Chief
Campbell has detailed a squad of police to
guard ie bridge over River Des Peres, on
the Delmar branch of the Transit company,
ln St. Louis county.
Havill cl&lmed to have overheard a con
versation between two men In which ar
rangements were being made to destroy this
bridge by dynamite on Thursday night.
Shcrtly after dark the police assigned by
cx-Chlef Campbell to watch the bridge ar
rested two men, one of whom was Havill.
In the vicinity of the bridge. His com
panion was another employe of tho Transit
company named Clarence M. Smith. They
explained to the police that tbey were sent
out by the Transit company to watch tho
bridge and convinced the offieers of their
identity after they hud shown them two
sticks of dynamlto and a piece of fuse, which
they i-ald they had found In the bushes. The
officers released them, but kept a watchful
eye on their movements.
About an hour later the police, who had
remained in the vicinity of the bridge, un
known to the two men. observed them pi k
up the two slicks of dynamite and start tn
walk toward tho city, whereupon tho officers
orrejted them. The chief ordered Havill
held and.rclexuevl Smith, v ho Uld a lr.iiglit
f or ward story as to how ths dynamite was
found by Havill" near thn bridge. Smith
said he knew nothing of the details of the
alleged plot t.we what Havill had told him
on tho way out.
Constant Source of Trouble.
"This fellow Havill." said Chief Camp
bell, "has given ii mere trouble slnee he
has been in the city than any dozen men
I am atlstied ho knows more about th
planting of this dynamite than anoue el.se
1 believe he placed it there himself and con
cocted this alleged conspiracy story to morei
firmly establish himself Ir the good graeeo
of the Transit company by peeing as an
energetic sleuth. Smith tells a stralghtfnr
wanl tory and -is reliable, but even his
suspicions were aruUFcd as to Ilavill's con
nection with tho plot."
Havill Is a son of Frank V. Havill. clerk
of the appellate court of tho Fourth district
of Illinois. Ora Havill was rhlr? ilrrk of
the southern Illinois penitentiary at Chrsier
for four years. After hl retirement in Jan
uary. ISOT. an examination of his books, it
U alleged, dieclesed that he was a de
faultcr to tho amount of 10,000. lie wa.s in
dicted for embezzlement on nineteen conn's,
nnd. after evading the officers of the law
for a time he urrendered. His father was
surety, on his bond for 13.000, which he paid
The balance of the ahorthgo was recovered
from tho warden on his lond. The cnscvi

continued from time to time.
Cars are being run on nil divisions of
tho system in tbe daytime and at
night owl cars aro operated on tho Ollvo

lines as tar west as Taylor .urnii". tien
oral Manager Hanmhoff says tha' owl rare
will bo run on other lines when a demand
exists for them. To all appearances, aside
from the light traffic, tho only thing tha
might indicate n strike is the prcseme of
armed men, members of tho pesto camltatuj.

night for that pnrpotc.
During tho past forty-eight houts there

pany. The strenuous efforts made hy t o
police, deputy sheriffs and private dee. -Ives
to ferret out and jmnl.h the mis r an s
who havo been guilty of stoning and blow

do with the greater feeling of security that
prevails.
