Premier VIII Soon Rcsien.
Paris. June 15.-The chamber of dep
utes was crowded yesterday, as were
the public galleries. and all present
eagerly discussed the situation. The
ceedings by vehemently repudiating the
statement that he was engaged in an
anti-democratic policy. but he de-
clared that the accession of socialism
to power would spell ruin for France.
EX- Minister Bourgeois followed,
taunting NJ. Meline with being unwill-
ing to cut himself free from the
Rightists. and several Extreme Leftists
continued their severe structures of the
premiers "undemocratic policy"
M. Ribot then delivered a warm
eulogy of the premier, and proposed a
vote of confidence in the government.
but its terms ELECTED loud protests from
the Rightists.
M. Meline, however, accepted the
terms of the motion. whereupon NJ
Cassagnac charged him with throwing
over the Rightists. The premier re-
torted that he had never asked for the
support of the Rightists.
The first part of NJ. Ribots motion,
"the chamber approving the declara-
tions Of the government" was then
adopted by vote of 295 to 272. and
the second part 'is determined to put
in force the policy of democratic re-
form. based on the union of Republ-
cans" was also adopted by 526 to
votes.
Thus far matters went comparatively
smoothly. Then NJ. Henri Ricard NOV
ed to add the words "and supported by
majority exclusively Republican"
NJ. Meline refused to accept this adj
ditIon. NJ. Ricard insisted upon vote.
and the addition was carried by 1886
to 246 votes. whereupon there was a
terrible uproar.
The members of the Extreme Left
arose en- masse and shouted for the
retirement of NJ. Melne. The Social
lists vociferated "Resign!" "Resign."
When lull occurred another vote
was taken on the entire motion, which
M. Melne accepted, swallowing the
obnoxious addition. and the motion was
adopted by 2S4 to 212 votes.
The chamber of deputies then ad-
Journed until Monday. 1t is asserted
that Meline will resign.

Russian Activity in China,

London, June 1.-THE Pekin corre-
Epondent Of The Times commenting on
the increasing activity of Russia in
China, SAWS: when the projected new
railways are completed Russia will
have control of all the railways along
which il will be possible to move
troops for the defense of Pekin. China
was deluded into giving the contract
for the Pekn-HanKau railway to
Belgium, as a small and unagEressive
power, but the Belgian minister Baron
de Ninck, was merely acting on behalf
of Russia and France England ought
to insist upon the right of first refusal
to all railways in the Yangtse- -kiang
region"

OPPOSED TO CONQUEST.
William ]. Bryan's First Public
Utterance on the War.
UPHOLDS THE ADMINISTRATION.

Declares That Our Government Only
Took Up Arms When Compelled to
Choose Between War and Servile Ac-
quiescence in Barbarous Cruelties.
Omaha, Neb.. June 15.-The Nebraska
building at the exposition was dedi-
Gated yesterday with appropriate cere-
mony amid the plaudts of thousands
of the states citizens. Governor Hol-
comb and his staff took part in the ex-
ercises. along with many of the states
most distinguished residents. The prn-
cipal speaker of the day was Hon.
William j. Bryan, and the Grafton was
notable as being his first public dec
laration on the war issue. He said in
part:
War is harsh; 1t is attended by hard
ship and suffering; it means a vast ex-
penditure of men and money We may
well pray for the coming of the time.
promised in Holy Writ. when the spears
shall be beaten into pruning hooks and
the swords into plowshares; but uni
versal peace cannot come until JUS
tice is enthroned throughout the world.
Jehovah deals with nations as he deals
with men, and for both DEGREES that
the wages of sin Is death. Until the
right has trlumphed in every land and
love reigns in every heart governments
must as last resort appeal to force.
Our nation exhausted diplomacy in
Its efforts to secure peaceful solution
of the Cuban question. and only took
up arms when it was compelled to
choose between war and servie acqui-
escence in cruelties which would have
been disgrace to barbarism.
History will vindicate the position
taken by the United States in the war
with Spain. In saying this l assume
that the principles which were invoked
in the Inauguration of the war will be
observed in its prosecution and con-
clusion. If a contest undertaken for
the sake of humanity degenerates into
war Of conquest we shall find 1t diff
ficult to meet the charge of having
added hypocrisy to greed. Is our ma
tio?al character so weak that we cam
not withstand the temptation to ap-
propriate the first piece of land that
comes within our reach?
ITO inhlct upon the enemy all pos
sible harm is legitimate warfare. but
shall we contemplate a scheme for the
colonization of the Orient merely be-
cause our fleet won a remarkable VIC
tory in the harbor of Manila? Our
guns destroyed a Spanish fleet, but can
they destroy that self evident truth,
that governments derive their just
pOWerS-nOt from SUPERIOR fOrce-but
from the consent of the governed?"

Probably For Porto Rico,

Chlckamauga Park, Ga, June 15.-
1t Is stated that orders were received
yesterday from the department that 10
of the best equipped regiments in Gem
eral Brooke's army be designated for
movement to the front. 1t is under
stood that these regiments are to make
up the expedition which will go to
Porto Rico. No information would be
given out at General Brooke's head
quarters as TO which regiments would
be selected for the expedition, very few
being sufficiently equipped at this time
for actual service. 1t is said that rifles
and other equipments needed are on the
way to this point sufficient to fit out
% regiments.

in the morning.

made At o'clock and the last shot
was fred by them a about o'clock
in the morning.
Lieutenant Neville, Of Company D.
was sent out on scout duty, and as on
the day previous, he attacked small
stone fort. 4 hot fight followed, and
the Spanards were driven off with
loss. 1t was during this fight that
Wallace and Tauman fell over tho
cliff. Fifteen dead Spaniards, includ.
ing one lieutenant, were found in tho
fort.
During the attack several shots
struck the ships in the harbor, one
penetrating the pilot house of tho
newspaper dispatch boat Dandy. No
one was injured on board of her.
The fight was the first Of the war
in which the Cubans co-operated with
the American forces, and their com.
pany operation was not glttering
success. At one time during the af-
ternoon whenever the marines wero
firing on a small detachment of Span
iards that made their appearance a
short distance from the camp the Gu
bans began firing without orders, and
sent volley right among the Ameri-
cans. There were several very narrow
escapes, but no one was injured.
Thus far the marines have had the
best of the fighting, but the situation
is grave, and they are exhausted with
repelling almost incessant attacks.
They have little chance to rest or
sleep, and the time of the arrival Of
the relieving troops is uncertain.
Were 1t not for the protecting guns Of
the fleet the gallant little band would
be annihilated by the Spanish troops
in overpowering numbers, from San
tiago de Cuba. AS 1t is, they prob
ably can hold their positions, but they
cannot move forward until reinforced
by troops.
A dispatch from Madrid says: Cen
eral Pando, in command in the Santi-
ago district and eastern Cuba, will
shortly be strongly reinforced in order
that he may simultaneously defeat the
rebels and prevent the Decentralization
Of American troops.

men who have been in service on the
scout ships Yale and Harvard will re-
fuse to 60 to sea on the vessels when
they leave this port as auxiliary cruis-

of the American line when the steam

they signed articles of agreement for

in the navy. and therefore cannot be
compelled to go into service on a war

the reported treaty made with the in

that the insurrection would not have
revived but for Admiral Dewey's ap-

Cavite was due, he said, to the neglect
of the authorities at Manila, "as a few
torpedoes laid at the entrance to the
channel would have frustrated the
Americans" He urged the government
to deal with the responsible parties.
