Subsequently, when he Stated that the company would not have Invested money If BryAn had been elected, the Democrats Jeered and hissed and shouted It was because If Bryan had been elected the Philippines would not have been exploited. Mr. Lents of Ohio challenged Mr. Hull's right to vote. The challenge brought forth a storm of hisses from the Republican side. Mr. Hull voted aye.

It was well Illustrated at the public meeting of the Republican party at the Taoon theater Sunday, when Senor Zayas, who Is really conservative In his views, made a speech In which he advocated tbe defending of the Independence of Cuba with the maphete. Another dispatch from Peking says tbe diplomats on Thursday discussed the list of provincial officials whose punishment will be demanded, which was »ot completed. It was also decided that the Italians are to retain the customs property which they seized. All the unodfcM foreign residents are uneasy because tbe French, German and Austrian ministers maintain that none of them can live within the fortifications. If the other minister* take the same view, the merchants and missionaries will be forced to live among the Chinese, who are no friendlier than before on account of the re cent hostilities. The American government Is tbe only government which has announced Its Intention to compensate the Chines* for the land required to extend the legation grounds. The king is known to object to tbe perpetration of what he considers a wrong done to his Immediate relative and will mark one of tbe first official acts of his reign by applying the only remedy In his power.
