WOLCOTT AND TELLER.
COlOradO's Speak mt the Re-
publican Convention.


DENVER, Sept. 12.-The Republicans of
Colorado met here to-day in State conven-
ton. There were 953 delegates in attend
ance, a few of whom were women taking
part in their first State convention under
the new equal suffrage law. Senators VOL
colt and Teller made speeches. The former
denounced the administration of Governor
Waite as the cause of the deplorable con-
ditlon of the State and implored every one
TO vote with the Republican party this fall
In order to redeem the State from misrule.
The plank demanding the free coinage of
silver said Senator Wolcott, lis the only
thing in the Populist platform which merits
consideration of the voters. The Repub-
leans also demand this. When / am GER
tain it cannot be secured through the latter
/ am ready and willing to leave it and join
any other party which can show me it is
able to bring about such a result. A new
element has entered politics and the women
of the State must bear their share of
the burden. There is no good citizen who
does not thank his Maker that the
prevent misrule. Since Colorado became a
State there has never been an hour when
It's motto could so earnestly be invoked as
low: Nothing without divine aid There
must be enough men and women in this
State to save il from further misrule- L
believe that this convention will not listen
TO the claims OF any man for office. but
will select citizens who will save the State
from misrule."
At the conclusion of Senator wolcott's
remarks Senator Teller took the platform.
He gave a brief history of the fight in
Congress last winter to prevent the repeal
of the Sherman bill and stated the silver
cause all over the world was growing so
rapidly that il was. in his opinion, but a.
short time until a free-coinage law would
be enacted by Congress. He agreed with
his colleague in his statement that he was
willing to withdraw from the Republican
party when it ceased to be friendly to the
cause OF silver"
The following candidates were nominated:
For Judge of the Supreme Court, John
Campbell, of Colorado Springs; Governor,
A. W. Mcintyre, OF Alamosa: Lieutenant
Governor, Jud Brush. of Greeley; Secretary
of State, A. II. Mccartney. of Denver; State
Treasurer. Harry L. Mulnix of Trinidad

The reinforcements from the more remote
provinces enroute to T1en-Tsin are at q

prevails even in Tien-Tsin. The savage
soldiery are piundering and maltreating the
wretched popuiace and native merchants

in the hospital there are suffering from

A special dispatch to the Times from

on Sunday from the front are TO the effect
that there is a continuous long-distance

engagements. Floods have rendered the

The Next BattIeaeId.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-Ffles Of the
Japan Advertiser. the Globe and the Japan
Herald have been received by way of Vic
toIia and bring news of the war to Aug.
rs. 1t is stated that four fast Chinese tor
pedo catchers are lying at Canton, in wait
ing for Japanese merchant vessels. which
may come from foreign countries laden
with arms and ammunition. All Of them
are said TO be able to make eighteen knots
an hour.
There has been some fighting at Bing
Chong. Corea, but no decisive engagements
have yet taken place. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the next battle will take place
in that vicinity. Bing Chong is situated
south OF Seoul. near the Tan Dong river.
After the battle of Asan and Seikwan
many or the Chinese made their way to
Bing Chong where a portion OF the army
was posted: There is now a large force
unere, as Chinese troops TO the number OF
ten thousand nave arrived from All Jun.
The Chinese ordered the Governor TO sup
ply rice for the use of the army. Two
Thousand Chinese troops have also arrived
at Hosan Chin, on the banks of Tai Dong
river, and have started to build a fort 10
defend their position. They are collecting
rice and other provisions. A Japanese gen.
eral says that the battle which will take
place soon at Bling Chong will have i'm
portant bearings on the ultimate outcome
of the war in Corea.
According to a. correspondent of rfe Jap
$nese Advertiser. there are now in Corea
$4,000 troops. OF this number 500 are cav
airy. The Chinese army numbers about the
same, the main body being encamped at
Ping Yang, where formidable earthworks
have been thrown up This will be the Chi
nese base OF operations in Corea. Besides
the Chinese. the same CORRESPONDENT as
serts there are 20.o0o Coreans arrayed
against the Japanese, but as most of these
are poorly armed or unarmed. they do not
constitute a formidable force. When they
join the Chinese array and are supplied by
the latter with rifles as intended. they
Will greatly strengthen the Ceiestials.

The veterans at Pittsburg were so angry
at the refusal of the railroads to grant
satisfactory rates that 1t was even pro-

~campments should be abandoned. which
may happen before long. only the delegates
would meet to transact the business of
