Stress was laid u on the danger of

The matter of running a third ticket
will probably be determined after a

it is understood that many will meet

The silver republicans presented the
names of Chairman Tillotson, Senator;

present any names for this committee,
saying that until they could confer

J. A. CLARK'S VIEWS.
Editor of the Shanghai Mercury Ar
rives in Seattle.

Seattle, WASH, July il. A. Clark, ed
itor of the Shanghai Mercury, and war
correspondent of the London News, ar
rived here today on the Rio Jan Maru
from Shanghai. He has been resident
of China for 40 years. Speaking of the
conditions there, he said:
I see by 1.-THE dispatches that hope has
been given. UP of the. safety of the for
eigners ins'PeRn. 4 'cannot believe the
conditions warrant this belief, and am of
the opinion they are yet safe and will be
for a reasonable length of time. There
are about 100 English speaking people in
Pekin, and these, We know, have taken
refuge in the British legation. That
building is large and strongly built
place, and while there may have been
discomforture on account of lack of suffi-
cient food supplies, I am convinced 1t
could withstand attack
Surrounding Pekin there were about
200 English speaking people. Some of
these succeeded in getting into the lega-
tions, others reached Tien Tsin. while
more were slaughtered. Probably 125
persons, we believe, are within the lega-
tion.
There is still a greater reason for be-
lieving the foreigners within the legation
have not been murdered. While the box
ers are in control of Pekin and while the
hue and cry is XIII foreigners they are
wise enough to know the death knell of
the cause they espouse would be sounded
in a wholesale slaughter of foreign diplo.
mats.
"The German ambassador lost his life,
not on account of his position, but be-
cause he was a foreigner. He ventured
out alone while the hideous cries of Kill
the foreign devils were being shouted
from every corner. He was recognized
as foreigner, and, to my mind, the men
who did the work were not aware of his
official position. So I say we need not
give up hope for the inmates of the Brit
ish legation yet, although help must be
rendered soon.
''I have the best hopes for the safety
of Shanghai and the citizens in the ad-
jacent provinces. While the viceroys are
the appointees of the empress dowager.

anything that would rob them OF their

Lord Roberts declination to allow troops
to be Withdrawn from South Africa for
service in China is said to have come about
this way: The secretary of state for war;
ing if he could spare division, and Rob-
erts replied Yes" Lord LansdoWne then
selected number of favorite officers, who
have been cooling their heels in the draw
ing rooms at home, for billets with the
force. In the meanwhile Roberts cabled,
suggesting that several of his tried COM
manders should accompany the division he
was preparing, adding that If an army
corps was needed he would like to go him.
self. These recommendations put Lord
Lansdowne In an awkward fix. Before he
answered Lord Roberts suggestions the
latter heard from private sources that
none of his lieutenants were to go, where's
upon he wired London that ii was impoS-
sible to send any troops at all out of South
Africa, his previous offer being based on
imperfect information. There Is no def
mite confirmation of this. but it is told
with considerable circumstantiality.
The resignation of Lord Wemysis, the
honorary colonel, and Col Eustace Bal
four. the commanding officer of the crack
London Scottish volunteers, as result OF
their desire to protect against the gov
ernment's treatment of the volunteers in
the service. has created sensation. Colo :
mel Balfour is brother of the cabinet
minister of that name, and Lord Wemysis
has done more for this branch of Great
Britain's defense than any other man.
The trouble arose over the war office re-
fusing to give a grant to the London Scot
tish volunteers because they were unable.
owing to having 1873 men at the front. to
put SO per cent of their strength in camp
for maneuvers.
