The most picturesque feature of the
convention from the Clinton standpoint
was the presence as delegates of the
three candidates for the local post office
Capt, G. d. Copp, Henry A. Burdette
and Charles L. Stevens. To these gen
tleman the congressman seemed moth
ing less than sphinx like. Only he can
read the riddle. Up to date Ulysses has
solved it, although local amateurs in
the Ulysses business allege that the
solution is Capt. Cops.
In case of the death of the candidate
it was voted that the convention should
reoonvene at the call of the district
committee.
The delegates then lunched in Bige-
low Hail. at long tables green with

it is presumed that they talked poll
tics.

WARsHIPs TO CHINA.
Secretary Long Says They Are to Protect
American Interests Thare.

Washington, Oct. s.--secretary Long,
upon advices received at the state de-
partment, showing the existence, OF
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
a petnt as near the Chinese capital as
possible for a warship to approach
The vessels selected are the Baltimore
and the Petrol. 1t is expected that the
Baltimore will not be able to get be-
yond the TalSu forts, at the entrance
Of the Pang Hei river, upon WHICH
Pekin is situated, but the Petrol, with
it's light draught. may be able to reach
TienT sin, so miles above the mouth
and about the same distance below
Pekin. The officials keenly regret that
there is not now on the Asiatic station
a light draught gunboat of the Helena
class. which could ascend the river as
far as the Chinese capital.
Secretary Long said the sole p4r-
pose Of ordering the Baltimore and the
Petrol to Tien-Tsin was to safeguard
American interests and to proteck life
and property of American citizens in
the event of an outbreak in the in
terior, Tien-Tsin being the nearest
point to Pekin accessible to warships.
