WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Tho Chinese Bit-

which Indicated a continuation of tho fight-
tnir nnnn thn IpimtlotlH and tho Chinese gov
ernment's Insistence that the ministers
should Icavo Pokln. which Mr. Conger con-
ldcrcd would mean certain death, brought
matters to an ncuto stuge,
All day tho cabinet officers who nro In
town have, been consulting with each other
and tho president has been communicated
with by telegraph and over tho long (lis-
tanco telephone. Secretary Itoot held two
conforences with Attorney General Griggs
nd sovcrnt with Acting Secretary of Stato
Adee nnd their views wero communicated
to tho president. As a result 6f this com-
munlcntlon, It was announced olllcinny ai
thn elosn of the day that a message to
tho Imperial government at Pokln had
been dollvored to Minister Wll tor trans-
muainn tn his covommcnt.
Tho text of the mtssnge was prepared by
'Acting Secretary of Stato Adce and sccre-
tary Hoot nnd In Its nnal form was mado
known to tho president In a talk conducted
by Mr. Itoot over the Wfelto House long
dlstanco telephone. It was then stated
definitely that tho authorities of this gov-
ernmont Would not make public the text of
this latest communication to China until
Minister Wu had had an opportunity to for-
.w.hi u tn I. In unvernment. The chief offl-
clals of tho government wero unwilling to
outline In nny definite manner tno conienia
f thn mrrnirn. nlthouch It was generally
ncccpted that the language of tho commu-
nlcatlon was emphatic and to the point.
Tho State department sent a cipher cablo
message to Minister Conger, responsive to
bis mefsago made public last night, and In-
tnn.l..,! tn tr.t tho assertions of tho Chlneso
edict that free communication would bo al-
lowed.
Ultimatum Spnt to China.
Tho message sent to tho Chlneso govern-
went through Mr. wu, according to tno

upon communication with our minister, ovl-
donccd both by the receipt of Mr. Conger's
messaso nnd tho transmission of tho edict,
Is very ratifying, but Is not in entire ao-
cordnnco with the original demnnds of the
prosident ln his reply to tho appeal tor

communication to tho cmporor of China laid

Imperial authorities of China havo mado

Tho now domand upon tho Chinese gov
prnrocnt Is for squaro-toed compliance
with those conditions. Thero Is hope,
growing out of tho fact that tho Chlneso
government has yielded partially, that
when confronted with tho llrm position
taken by tho United Stntes It will bo suf

Mlnistor Wu early In tho day brought to
tno biaio department ino imperial raici u
movlng restrictions from free communica
tion with tho ministers. Ho was plainly
perturbed over Minister Conger's report that
the legatloriers wero under fire, but still
contondod that his government wns acting
in good faith, and protested against a mls-
representation of the situation. Ho pointed
out tho fact that the absence of artillery fire
might Indicate that there were no regular
troops engaged In tho assault nnd that the

Two dispatches wero received during the
cay, ono from Admiral Homey nnd tho other
from General Chaffee Both relatod to thn
fighting nt Peltsang. Admiral Ilemey's dis
patch stated specifically that the Americans
wero not engaged, and General Chaffee's
dispatch explained how It was that they
wero practically ouUof It. They occupied
tho rear of tho turning column.
Owing to the limited ground ot operation,
which ho mentions, It Is probablo that the
Americans could not be brought Into tho
thick of tho fighting, and they thus es
caped without casualties. Tho fact that
the American troops did not havo an oppor
tunity to distinguish themselves was some
thing of a disappointment to the officials
tit the Wnr department but, knowing Gen
ernl Chaffoo as thoy do, they aro confident
that if his men were not engaged It was
because It was physically Impossible to

The Home correspondent of the Dally

In Pekln asserting that he left Pekln on

wo months leave of nlieenco on account of
Ill-health, nnd tho remaining battalion ot
the First Infantry nnd Battery F of the
Second artillery, consisting of 533 men nnd
thirty officers.
Tho press unanimously criticises and con-
demns what It terms the corrupting of tho
Cubnn Judiciary system. Bold charges have
mado by tho newspapers that Judges nnd
ther members of the courts have been re
ceiving fern for cases coming to trial In the
courts and which they themselves havo to
decide. The Post nnd Lucha ngree with the
policy of Governor General Wood In regen
erating the administration of Justice, mod
ifying the procedure In forco and making
careful selection of members of the Judl-
lary.
The Post charges tho Cuban 'Judiciary
with having a compact organization extend
ing over tho entire system, so perfect that
'corruption Is conducted with nbsolllto
safety," and adds: ,
"There aro members of the courts who re
tain their law offices and leave tho affairs
of tho offices to those who were their clerks
beforo they wore on tho bench. These
clerks nrrango the details of representing
tho old clients of these Judges and arrange
the fees, etc. In this way a Judge upon tho
bench decides n case at Issue, while really
representing ono of tho parties to the suit,
and tho result may bo Imagined In each In-
tnnce In which this Is thej caso."
The resignation of the lc secretary of

at the War office:

LONDON, Aug. 8. The allotment of
G,000,000 of tho 10,000,000 war loan to
the United States Is received ln the higher
financial world as a good thing for London
ln tho present position of the English
banks. Tho brokers and small Investors
severely, almost pabslouately, criticise tho
chancellor- of tho exchequer, Sir Michael
Hlcks-Bcach, for privately arranging for
halt of tho so-called public loan and allow
lng tho Investment "plum" to go out ot tho
country. The Bank of England advised
Sir Michael to accept tho American offer,
which was made early last week through
P. Morgan & Co. and the Barings, the
Joint takers, pointing out that this was an
easy and natural way to bring In gold and
siVw -the oxpirts to tho United States In
October. Otherwise the bank rate might
havo to bo raised to R or 6 per cent and
extraordinary measures would have to be
taken to Increase the gold reserve.
Tho Barings Informed tho Associated
Press that though tho loan was more than
subscribed In Now York beforo tho ngree
ment was closed with Sir Michael Hlcks-
Bcach, It was not twice covored, as It was
expected It would bo by the negotiators
hero. The Morgans said the Insurance com
panies were largo subscribers and both tho
Morgans and Barings said a large portion
of tho millions would como In gold. Two
million pounds, It is understood, Ib already
engaged.
The critics of the chancellor of the ox
chequor point out that the loan was worth
3 9-10 per cent; that It was ao excellent a
thing that every pound Bhould have been
kept hero, that even If tho American offer
was accopted It should have been done
difforontly and that to ask for subscrlp
Hons to 10,000,000 when 5,000,000 wero
already allotted was rather tricky. Gen
erally, however, there Is a feeling of Batls
faction ln financial circles over the easier
money prospect.
The Pall Mall Gazctto says: "Tho loan
chows America will occupy a now rolo ln
tho futuro that of lender. Ero long Amor
lean operators nnd Investors will interest
themselves ln tho International group and
bo n factor to bo reckoned with."
Tho Westminster Gazette, under tno
heading: "Tho treasury's Insult to tho
city: America financing our war,' says
"Attempts nro being mado to organlzo n
deputation to protest against tho sudden
closing of tho applications for tho latest
wnr loan, but It Is doubtful whether It can
get moro than tho chancellor's expression
of regret If disappointment was caused
There was llttlo' uso In opening tho lists
at all. seeing thnt tho chancollor had ar
ranged lo borrow most of tho money In
America. In nny caso, tho fact might havo
been mado clear in tho prospectus, which
was a misleading document. When nn Issue
Is already half subscribed, oven by pushful
American Insurnnco companies, It Is usual
to stnto tho fact. Tho Stock oxchango com
mltteo may recall this when tho quotation
comes to bo considered."
The Financial News refers to tho United
States as "Tho world's now banker."

The speech then Bays: "Believing th
continued Independence of tho republics to

Referring to China, tho speech from tb

Mr. Rrynn: On thn 121th anniversary of
the birth of thin renulillG thorn hhhcitiIiIp,!
In Kansas City tho most Intensely Ameri
can convention that over camo together In
ns niHiory. 'inis great tiody was made up
of men from every Htntn nnil territnrv In
the union. Tliey eamo from their respective
illNtrlcts tilled with unfeigned enthusiasm
ror tno inspiring eiiuso which brought them
togothor. Their 7.000,000 constituents had
empowered them to frnmo n platform of
principles' and select n cundldnte for presi
dent mill vlco president of tho united
States ln what thoy conceived to hn thn
suprcincHt political crisis thnt over camo
to our country. Theso delegates all
realized that the republic Is In porll. They
felt that tho duty wns theirs to take sueli
action us would rescue tho stato from tho
Bint or imperialism nun which it nns been
plunged uud thus preserve for themselves
nnd posterity unimpaired tho priceless
blessings of freo uovcrnment nnd civil
llborty. You hco before you todny a com
mittee of delegates from that convention
nml for whom 1 speak, upon which Is rop.
resented each Htulo und territory, whoso
duty It Is to convoy to you In formtl
manner tho notllk-ittlon that the Hiigiiit
assembly I have mentioned, acting for lis
mombcrs, their constituents nnd for nil
who lovn nnd cherish liberty everywhere,
with no illsHcntlng voice, choso you as the
candidate for president nnd adopted n
platform of principles upon which Ills
campaign wn now nro Inaugurating shall
be conducted.
The declaration of party principles
enunciated I now hnvo the honor to pre
sent to you. Hero tho duties of our com
mltteo might with proprloty end, but I
beg Indulgcuco for n few moments.
Four years ugo you led tho party In thn
most brllllnnt contest It has over ex
pnrlcnced. You then failed to win tho goal,
tho presidency, but you did moro; you won
tho rospect and admiration of your political
foes nnd tho anient love nnd devotion of
your followers, That contest was mado
by you against stupendous odds, In the fnco
nf a hostlln press, and with unhappy
division In your ranks. I congratulate you
nnd tho country that all these unfortunate
conditions do not confront you todny, It Is
true you were then bitterly, sometimes
wantonly nssallnd, and when partisan
rancor ran high occasionally course things
wero said of you and your party. But you
anil (hoy survived them ull nnu wprn per
haps stronger for them, Wo trust this
campaign will be pitched on n higher piano
and that It will be conducted In a manner
worthy of tho grent dignity which attaches
to thn two most exalted offices lit staku,

When Mr. Bryan nroso to reply a dem

never been equalled In this city. When or
