FOR A THIRD PARTY.
leaders in the Movement Meet in
Va. New York and Issue an
Address.

New York, July 19.-In response to
call issued few days ago, num-
Der of golc democrats and anti-impe-
rialists met in this city Wednesday
night to discuss the methods of bring
ing third party ticket before the
public. An address was adopted of
which the following is a synopsis:
1t assails President Mckinley for his
Philippine policy and his "scandalous ap-
pointments" to federal offices; character
izing Gov. Roosevelt as the frank en-
bodiment of militarism," and declaring
that the republican party stands for all
forms Of special privilege, Mr.. Bryan, the
address says, is as Objectionable as Presi-
dent Mckinley.
"A vote for the democratic ticket" says
the address, means vote for free sill
yer, 1t means still further debauching of
the civil service; a packing of the supreme
court by men to be governed by the will
of the executive"
The address asks Independents to unite
in the support of candidates, upon some
such platform as follows:
First. a return to the political doctrines
of the declaration of independence and the
constitution.
Second, The recognition that not only
Cuba and the Philippines, but Porto Rico
and Hawaii are independent.
Ihlrd, Genuine monetary reform.
Fourth, Civil service reform.
Fifth. The abolition of special privileges,
whether of tariff or any other origin
I'VE are not concerned solely with this
selection, but with the future of American
political life. We are ready and anxious
to join with others in forming a party
which shall adopt platform presenting
these issues
Before adjournment was taken the
announcement was made that neither
former President CT veland nor
former Speaker Thomas B. Reed is
available as a candidate. Mention
was made of Admiral Lewey, and it
seemed to be the consensus of opinion
that he would consent to accept a
nomination and would probably prove
to be the most available man.

we're ordered by Gen. Dorward to retire
under cover until darkness. The Rus
slams were outside the east wall, while
the Japanese, British and French were
close to the west wall, with the Chinese
trying to flank them. The walls were
sadly battered by shells. The attack
will be renewed in the morning. The
total losses of the allied forces are esti-
mated at 800.
A special dispatch FROM Tientsin dis
tributes the number of those killed at
the capture of the native city as fol-
lows: Russian, 100; Japanese, 81; Brit
ish, 40, and Americans, 81. The CORE
spondent who sends this asserts that
thousands of Chinese were killed, and
that fighting was still going on when
his dispatch was sent in various parts
of Tientsin.
Brussels, July 19.-The Belgian min
lister of foreign affairs, NJ. De Favereau,
has received telegram from the Bel
gian legation at Paris saying that the
Chinese minister, Yu Keng, has received
an official telegram announcing that
the foreign ministers in Peking were
safe on July 10.
London, July 19.-Russia has hand
ed the Clinese envoy at st. Petersburg
his passports and requested him to
leave the country with the members
of his mission. This news was re-
ceived in London early this morning.
London, July 19.-While evidence ac-
cumulates daily that China has long
been preparing a formidable military
organization in anticipation of the
present conflict, and that the area of
rebellion is continually extending, har-
mony among the allies, which is neces-
sary to meet such grave situa ton, is
still deplorahly lacking. The Russians
have refused Admiral Seymour's re-
quest to hand over the restored Taku-
Tsintsin railway to the English COM
pany, and it is rumored that Germany
purposes taking serious independent
step, namely, to patrol the Yangtse-
Kiang with German men-of-war. Such
step would be greatly resented by
England. Still more alarming news has
been conveyed to the Daily Express
from Toxic, to the effect that the APP
parent reluctance of Germany and Rus
eia to consent to a Japanese COM
mander for the army corps has led the
japanese government to delay the for
warding of the division already mo-
bilized.

PRESCOTT'S DAY OF WOE.
Arizona City Visited by a Fire Which
Sweeps Away Property Valued
at Over 100000.

Prescott, Ariz., July 16.-A scene of
the greatest desolation and a feeling
of deepest gloom pervades this town.
All that remains of the principal bust
ness portion of the town is tottering
walls and piles of charred and burning
debris. The fire, which started at
1o:45 o'clock Saturday night, was not
under control until three o'clock Sun
day morning, when the fire fighters
went a considerable distance in ad-
vance of the flames and blew up the
buildings on the south side of Good
win street, preventing them from
crossing that street. The most con-
sentative estimate of the total losses
are from $1,000.O0O to $1.50O,OOO.
The burned district embraces five
blocks in which are located the prin-
cipal mercantile houses, both banks,
both telegraph Offices, the three news
papers, four hotels, every saloon and
every restaurant except one in the
town, besides scores of private resi-
dences.
The only business houses remain
ing in the town are three dry goods
stores, three grocery stores and two
drug stores. The express and post
Office were both out of the fire limits,
but the latter had close call. All
the mail and effects were ready to
move at a moments notice.
Prescott, Ariz., July 1s.-A revised
estimate places the total loss by Satur-
day nights fire at over 81 100000. The
insurance is less than $4,000. The
losses fall lightly on the companies be-
cause of the high rates.

M'GOVERN WINS.
He Defeats Frank Erne, of Buffalo,
in Three Rounds at Madison
Square Garden.

New York, July 17.-Once more
fighter pitted against a boxer has
clearly demonstrated the superiority
of the fighter. Monday night in the
presence of $4,000 persons in Madison
Square Garden, Terry McGovern, of
Brooklyn, defeated Frank Erne, of
Buffalo, the lightweight champion
of the world. It was hurricane fight
from bell to bell, without a seconds
let-up, except when either one of the
contestants was lying on the floor of
the ring. McGovern rushed in on Erne
at the very beginning, and sent left
and right in such quick succession that
Erne, fast as he is, was nonplussed.
Erne undoubtedly is the cleverer of
the two, but his cleverness awaited him
nothing against the bulldog rushes
and fierce attacks of the little feather
weight champion.

UNDER ARREST.
Charge of Manslaughter IL Brought
Against Captain of Ill-Fated
Yacht Idler.

Cleveland, O., July 1e.-Capt
Charles J. Holmes, the master of the
schooner yacht Idler, which capsized
off Avon Point, with all her standing
canvas set, On July z, drowning five
women and baby, was arrested
Wednesday by the United States mar
shall on the charge of manslaughter.
Bail was fixed at $1,000, which was
furnished. At the coroner,s inquest
the mate of the Idler testified that he
suggested to the captain that he
shorten sail when the squal was ap-
preaching, but that Holmes said not
to do so, as the squall would not be
heavy and they would have little ex-
element with the canvas up. 1t was
the testimony of the mate which led
to the arrest of Holmes.
