Worcester, Mass, October 3.-There
seems to be but little doubt that the
Derpocratic convention tomorrow will
nominate Alexander B. Bruce Of Law

To be sure there have been mutterings

there was in the preliminary canvasses
for Bruce, and he will probably be the
choice of the convention.
AS far as the resolutions are concerned
the presence of Hon. George Fred Will

little Indication that any compromise

Some of the ministers are ordering
marines to Pekin for legation guard. -
Secretary Long upon advices received

istence of threatening conditions i'll China
has ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to a
point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for warship to approach.
The vessels selected are the Baltimore

more will not be able to get beyond the
Taku forts at the entrance of the Pang-
Hei river, upon which Pekin is ssituated,
but the Petrol being of smaller proper
tions, may be able to reach Tien Tsln,
so miles above the mouth and about the
same distance below Pekin.
The officials keenly regret that there
is not now on the Asiatic light draught
gunboat of the Helena class, which could
ascend the river as far as the Chinese
capital.
Secretary Long said that the sole pur.
pose of ordering the Baltimore ana the
Petrol to Tien Tsin was to safeguard
American interests and to protect life
and property of American citizens in the
