BERLIN, April 23. (New Tork Herald
Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.)
The publication here of the article of the
Novoati, suggesting the possibility of the
mediation of England to end the war,
Caused an Immense sensation.
The fact that tbta article was telegraphed
by a Russian telegraphic agency and for
warded to tba German press by a semi
official German agency, has given It an
Importance which It would not otherwise
have possessed. At the same time reports
came from London of King Edward's con
ference in Copenhagen with the Russian
minister to the Danish court and the sub
sequent meeting with Count Benckendorff,
tha Russian ambassador In London.
From Toklo come dispatches that a peace
party has already made Its appearance on
Japanese soil. All this furnished food for
reflection In Berlin, bat In spite of the
apparent seriousness of the news the pos
sibility of anything being done at this
juncture Is not credited. German publlo
opinion unanimously takes the view that
Russia cannot begin to think of peace until
It has reasserted Its prestige on the field
of battle. At the same time It would un
doubtedly be very unpleasant to the Ger
man foreign office If any other nation
should play the principal role In bringing
a,bout a conclusion of hostilities.
If England, France, Russian and Japan
should arrange a settlement In the Far
East, Germany would again have been
treated as a negllgeable quantity, as in
the "negotiations regarding Morocco.
Since the beginning of the war and for
weeks previous all the energies of Ger
man diplomacy were devoted to consolidat
ing tha empire's relations with Russia, so
that Germany might tbe 4 decisive factor
In the final tettlement. France and Eng
land, having their hands tied by their re
ep-tctlve alliances, were not regarded aa
competent to undertake mediation. This
role was reserved to Germany as the only
power In no way entangled In the far
east, and tha only one which could, In
consequence, play the part of honest
broker.
A dispatch received tonight from Lon
don saya that King Edward has already
placed himself In direct communication
with the ciar. tn reproducing this dis
patch, the Post, whose' relations to the
German foreign office are well known, de
clares, in contesting the possibility of medl
atlon by England: "We regard the above
Information as false. Puoh mediation will
only have a prospect of success when the
honor of the Russian arms has been re
stored by a decisive victory."
Tha Post further states that It is now
certain the czar will personally proceed
to the seat of the war. Tha exact date
has not yet been fixed, as it will depend
upon the completion of the concentration
of General1 Kouropatkln's forces, but It will
be probably In July. No regent will be
appointed, aa the ciar will not have
quitted Russian territory.
APPEAL TO THE DEMOCRATS
John Marter Vrges Then to Ahandoa
Bryanlsm for the Old-Time
Faith.
VERONA. Neb., April 21,-To the Editor
of The Bee: I notice an organisation called
the "Loyal Democratic league" has Issued
an address to tbe democrats of Nebraska,
and especially to those of Douglaa county.
Among other things, It calls attention to
the primaries of 1891 Every democrat in
Nebraska knows that alncs that time and
under the leadership of Mr. Bryan the
democrats have steadily lost votes, and yet
they claim that he rescued the party, when
In fact he delivered It Into the hands of
the populists for the purpose of making
himself senator from Nebraska, but fulled to
carry the legislature, and later, when there
waa a chance to get Hitchcock, a demo
crat, appointed senator from Nebraska,
Mr. Bryan turned him down, and the demo
cratic party as well as Mr. Hltohcock feels
the "sting of ingratitude,"
Next they aay they want the reaffirma
tion of the Kansas City platform aa a
whole. Now, the facts are that the rank
and file of the democrats of Nebraska, who
have always voted for Bryan, are now
opposed to the reaffirmation of the Kansas
City platform that contains ths famous
'16 to 1" plank, placed there by Mr. Bryan
over ths telephone from Lincoln when ho
turned dictator, and held up the conven
tion. Every school boy knows that ths
"It to 1" plank is dead and no longer right,
and that Its sdoptlon would prevent ths
election of any democrat
But why don't Mr. Bryan advocate ths
gold standard, that he must know la right?
Why does he denounce Cleveland and other
honest democrats tbst be knows are right
on this point T It is because of bis "cross
of gold and crown of thorns" tn ISM, when
he turned ths whole campaign on an issue
that time has proven wrong. Should he
advocate the gold standsrd now they would
use the deadly parallel column on him and
make him ridiculous. Will ths rank and,
file of democrats of Nebraska allow them,
selves to be used to prevent the election
of a democratic president T Will they con
tinue to help fight the only democrat that
stands a ' good chance of being elected?
We who have always voted for Bryan and
now desire the election of a democratic
president find the columns of the World
Herald closed against us. Msny of us
I think that Mr. Bryan Is a large stockholder
In the World-Herald and controls It and
will use It from now until convention day
to prevent the honest expression of the
democrats of Nebraska to their brethren
la ths east and south. It Mr. Bryan go
tt ths nat'onnl convention, but let the
democrats of K.brasVa be honest with
themselves. It ths lank and file for ones
get In the saddle. JOHN MURTKY.
