cials at the coast ports are actually in
communication with whatever remains
of the imperial government at Pekin, and
the text of Kwang Hus appeal appears
to establish the fact that the Chinese
government itself is sanctionlng the re-
sistance to the international advance
upon Pel1in.
The state department and the Chinese
legation substantially agree in the esu-
mate Of six to eight days as the time
necessary to get reply to the president s
answer to the appeal CT the Chinese gov
eminent.
According to the best information here,
urgent messages are being transmitted
between Pekin and Shanghai by the
Flying Express mentioned in Consul
Fowler's cablegram a few days ago.
This, according to the Chinese, is a re-
lay system of mounted messengers, SINH
lar to the old pony service across the
plains, and IS used when the wire COM
munica ton is interrupted. The relay
riders make about 200 miles a day 1t is
900 miles from Shanghai to Fekin, and

FORT SCOTT, Kan, July 24-The fea-
ture Of the proceedings of the POpulist,
Democratic and Silver Republicans state
conventions, which met here today In
separate halls. to nominate state tickets
or effect a fusion in the interests Of a
single ticket, was the turning down of the
senatorial aspirations of Jerry Simpson
by the Populist convention.
Neither of the conventions achieved
much at today's sessions, and ct a late
hour tonight there has been no definite
agreement as to fusion.
At late hour tonight the three con-
ference committees reached an agreement
which viii reported to the convention
tomorrow morning. 1t gives to the Popu-
lists the Office of associate justice, gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, auditor, su-
perintendent of public instruction and
congressman at large, while the Dem

suddenly began to wobble, and some Of
the bathers fell into the water. Inc others

companions, and, in so doing, persisted.
Master Wiley, a child about ten years
old, stood on the bank and Witnessed the

WASHINGTON, July 24-The state de-
partment IS again in a waiting altitude
regarding China. 1t has frankly, prompt
~ and fully answered tho Chinese en-
peroI's appeal for mediation, and the cor
respOndence given publicity today makes
Il appear that the next move is for the
Chinese government. 1t Is expected to
accept or reject our terms at once, and
IN either case the answer must convey
tidings Of the state of affairs at Pekin,
and the welfare of the legationers.
The belief is not concealed here that
the chances for successful mediation are
slight. Mediation cannot be forced upon
party to a cause; 1t must be acceptable
70 all the parties. If the United States
Is to mediate in China's interest, she must
FIST secure the assent of all the powers
who have suffered in life or property at
Pekin.
The difficulties in the way Of such an
undertaking are likely to be many and
serious, in view of the exhibition Of feel
Ing IL Europe But it is said here that
the United States will cheerfuIly under
take the task, provided its conditions are
met. If it does not succeed in inducing
the European powers to be lenient in
their treatment Of the imperial govern
ment Of China, the United States gov
eminent will not be drawn into further
hostilities after we have taken care Of
our own affairs, but we will withdraw,
taking care, however, to let it be under
stood that this government will not all
low its proper interests in China to be
injured by the action of any of the DOW
ers that may choose to remain obdurate.
ONE POWER MAY BOLT.
At least one of the greatest powers is
under strong suspicion here of acting
cold-bloCdedly and without regard to SEN
timent of anything more than the most
material of considerations. 1t IS believed
here that this power is quietly taking
measures to drop out of the league at
Tien Tsin, and conduct campaign on its
account against Pekin, and it is even sus~
pected that this power is already moving
troops toward the Chinese capital.
One fact regarded as now beyond need

over matters concerning the campaign,
but that there was nothing to announce.
Asked as to the coming of the Ohio Of
flcials, candidates and committeeman
next Saturday, Chairman Dick said the
party would come if the president was
here to receive them at that time. but
there was a possibility that the president
would then be in Washington again, on
account of matters connected with the
Chinese situa ton.
Did the president intimate an early
departure?" was asked
mo, it would be unfair to say that I
was speaking except from current re-
ports. If he is to undertake mediation
with the powers, it is quite likely that
he will be at the capital for at least
part Of the week.
How soon will the campaign in Ohio
open?"
Right away. It is open now. I don't
