New York. Oct, 27. A step in the di rection of the arbitration of the Chi-nse difficulties, i Washington dispatch to the Herald says, has been taken by Secretary Hay, He has cabled to Min ister Conger jibe tuggest Ion made by Russia that in case of a protracted divergence of views the Questions of in demnity be referred to the Hague court for decision and instructed him to con suit with his colleagues as to the de mands-their governments will make upon China in this reepect. Should he report it not possible to reach an agreement then Secretary Hay Intends to advocate vigorously the adop tion of the Russian suggestion as the easiest method of obtaining a satisfac tory solution. Secretary Hay and other officials of the administration believe in general arbitration, but they think It is in the Interest of all the powers and China that direct negotiations should first be tried, Those who advocate arbitra tion, bowfever, argue that swifter ac tion could be secured by the reference of the entire depute to arbitration at thi time than by beginning negotiation in Pekln, which may be Indefinitely prolonged and finally produce no result.

The authorities are anxious to obtain Information relative to the replies of Germany and Great Britain on the Rus sian suggestion. No information on this point has yet reached the state department. Should all the nation consent, the authotitles say a great obstacle in the way of a satisfactory solution of the whole? Chines question will be re moved. Oscar 8.

I Wf have never ceased to urge the cmni upon the powers, and It ap pear to me that now is the proper time for to put ottr words into deeds. The complex between Germany and Great Britain which uaclobtedly haa the approval of our government leaves nothing to be settled except the amount of indemnity which China must pay to the several governments. In case a erlous dispute should arise regarding Indemnity, the matter would have to be referred to arbitration, and If it la to be arbitrated The Hague commission the: proper body for It to come be-forer'i .1 i i i ARRANGE A CLAMBAKE.

I Light bfcyeietiamps iohnlght it United State Senator From Michigan, Tell of Political Issues. Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows, United States senator from Michigan, arrived in this city from Chicago, at which place he addressed a large assemblage last night, at 1 o'clock this afternoon, on the Lake Shore railroad. He was escorted to the big tent at the corner of Jefferson and Lafayette streets shortly after; 2 o'clock and delivered an address to fully 2,000 people. Senator Burrows presented his speech in a clear, clever and very convincing manner and held his audience with him to the end.

Verwiere's Third Regiment band furnished music. On the stage with the speaker were a number of representative republicans, some of whom had witnessed many a political campaign. Attorney Walter A. Funk in a tew well chosen words presetted Senator Burrows tr the audience, which cheered lustily as the honored rose to address the audience. In opening his remarks Mr.

Burrows said It uad al-way been a wonder to him why there was any need of conducting the pres ent campaign. He said the opposition ad been fairly beaten four years ago cn practically the same paramount is- sues, Dut it migbt taey wanted: to try it once again. Continuing his remarks the senator gave each of the candidates credit for being men beyond reproach in their lives as private citizens, but it was not the men that should be voted for but the principles they re'n-tesented. Mr. Burrows touched on the dire calamity of the last administration of President Cleveland and compared It with the present prosper ous times of the McKlnley administration.

Ho assured the supporters of the republican party that the American industries and the American workmen would be protected; and that every dollar that the laboring man received would be worth a dollar anywhere under republican rulet Senator Burrows spoke for a little more than one hour and presented the principles of the republican prty clearly and forcibly to the minds at the aQuemhlnsro Hla nrfnimenta nn all the issues of the campaign were to the point and that they were welt received was evidenced by the hearty applause his auditors gave him as point after point met with their hearty approbation. Much enthusiasm prevailed at the meeting, and many country people were present. The assemblage was more than pleased with: the address and when Mr. Burrows con cluded he was met by a perfect storm ot applause. GREAT DAY IN CHICAGO.

Creed, South Bend's Well Known Attorney, Points Out Errors in Bryan's Arguments Against So-Called Imperialism. J. P. Creed, one of the oldest and best known attorneys in South Bend, deeply Interested la the outcome of the approaching election. He is especially Concerned Mr.

Bryan's self-created Issues, He looks at the l.roposltion from tne standpoint of a man whose life has been devoted to application to the law and in an interview accorded 'iue Tribune discusses some of Mr. Bryan's ideas fiom the legal aspect pretented. Taking up imperialism Mr. Creed says: "What do 1 think about the iasue of 'imperialism' in this campaign? There it? no such issue. To make an issue In court or before the country one party in urt or one of the political parties before the country must affirm the point raised and the other party must deny the same point, When that is done an issue is before the court to be tried, or before the country for the voters to determine.

"The Bryan leaders seek to delude; the voters that the issue of imperialism is before the country, for the sole purpose Of obtaining power and as a tover to the real Issue, via: that of the free ana unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, against the gold standard or sound money doctrine of the republican party and, I am glad to my. of many democrats. "We have title to the Philippine islands by virtue of the treaty of aris, which was duly ratified by the high contracting parties the United States and Spain. To this ratification Mr. Bryan and enough of his follow-trs in the senate to make two-thirds of that body assented.

The treaty with Spain provided that the govern- ment and control of the islands should the nitificution of that treaty Aguinakio and his follower made open war on tne United States ana it was the constitutional duty of the president to put down rebellion and lestore law and order in the Philippines. Until this is done congress cannot determine the government and control of the unless It be urged and voted that we shall haul tiown our flag and retreat to our boats under the fire of rebels, these rebels being only one of the many tribes of different poples inhabiting these islands. I remember reading editorials in the South Bend Times and Indianapolis Sentinel to that effect lefore Mr. Bryan invented this Imperial mask to cover his 16 to 1 fac. Previous Cases ar Cited.

"But, seriously, why should we not hold the Philippine islands as We have held and now hold the territory purchased outright as In the case of Alaska or by the results of successful war as In the case of what is now the territories of New Mexico. and the state of California? The United States has held and owned the territories of New Mexico and Arizona for more than 50 years; bought them of Mexico as a result of war and treaty of peace with Mexico, just as we got the Philippines. To be consistent Mr. Bryan should urge that we surrender New Mexico and all other territory acquired by us and assume a ort of protectorate over them. he says, "but you did not have the consent of the governed in the case of the I answer we did not have nor ask the consent of the French or Indians who Inhabited the Louisiana purchase, bought by Jefferson, nor of the people of any ot those territories.

In fact, the French at New Orleans, at that time quite a city, were greatly enraged at the thought of giving up their alleg lance to their beloved France and threatened rebellion until Jefferson. by show of force, quelled It. The inhabitants of Arizona have been time and again in rebellion against the authority of the United States. And during theie more than 50 years New Mexico ana Arizona have had no voice in framing the laws of the United States under which they live r.or in choosing the presidents of the united states, tet, is seems it remained for Mr. Bryan, with his mask hiding his 16 to 1 face, to make the discovery that the procedure in acquiring territory 'by the United States from the time of tbe immortal Jefferson down to our day has been In violation of the great principles of the declaration of independence.

Let history be revised and let it be acknowledged by the world that our estimate of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton, Webster and the great John Marshall is all wrong and let their names be erased from monuments, tablets and pages of history end, instead, place the name of Bryan a the embodiment of all wisdom, righteousness and liberty. Bryan's Error Pointed Out. "Mr. Bryan argues that we cannot Require territory without the consent of tho people of such territory. Well, let us quote from the makers of the constitution and from thoe men who, as members of our supreme court, laid broad and deep toundations for mis government, section 3, article 4 of the United States constitution reads as follows: The congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respect lrg the territory and owier property belonging to the United Please notice that not only the Philippine islands, but Alaska, New Mexico and other territory, aj distinguished from the htates of the union, are under the absolute control of congress and are.

by this section, classed with eprsonal property; nay more; by this article, congress is given the to sell such territory. "During the discussion of the treaty acquiring the Louisiana territory. Senator Nicholson, of Delaware, said: 'Louisiana is a territory purchased by the United States and may be disposed of at its The power ot congress over territory belonging to the union is supreme. In the case of Benner vs. Porter, Howard, page 243.

the United States supreme court says, referring to the territories: They are not organised under the constitution nor subject to its conv Coatinued on Seventh Pag. on by an of of the national hanks of Sooth Bead ln-i creased to the enormous amount of a. I 1S7 per cent and this in the face of theg fact that Mr. Bryan made a prediction In 1896 in which he said: If McKlnley and the republican par- ty are successful snd put In power tar ml. th next four: years, wsgea will fl decreased, hard time will come us and over th land the price ot wheat ii will go down and the price of gold will go up; mortgages on our homes will be m' foreclosed by the money lenders; sobps snd factories will close.

1 i We if! will export no goods and we will im- port from foreign land all the goods we use; thus will ruin, want and mis- l( ery be with us." vij It might be well to ask th wag earner, the manufacturer and the mer- chant whether Mr. Bryan's prediction ii came true so far as South Bend is fi concerned.
