MR.. BRYAN INTRODUCED.

Mayor Harrison introduced Mr.. Bry-
an, saying he believed firmly that the
patriotism and good sense OF the
American people was too great to place
in the Office of President any man who
did not represent the plain people of
the country, as Jackson and Lincoln
had represented them.
Mr.. Bryan was such a man, and he
took great pleasure in introducing
him.
Mr. Bryan said:
Il am a very cautious man, and while
have seen it stated in the papers that

know that you cannot always trust
what you see in the papers. Laugh

ated until | am officially notified OF it

LONDON, August THE special
despatch to The Associated Press from
Tien Tsin, dated Sunday, August 5, 8
a. M, via Shanghai, August 7, is the
only press message which has been got
through from Tien Tsin since the bat
tie of Peitsang. Various Tien Tsin
dispatches of earlier dates allude to
accommodating encounters with the
Chinese preparatory to a general at
tack on the Chinese positions, which
are FIVE miles long. The reconnois-
sance has developed that the Chinese
are in greater strength than expected,
and the allies, according to a news
agency despatch from Tien Tsin, dated
August 2, are each day pushing nearer
to the Chinese positions.
The Russians who have been fighting
around Tasi-Chow are reported, ac-
cording to a despatch from Shanghai.

ed the Russian demand to give up the

In Honor of the Dead King to be
Held in Washington.
WASHINGTON, August Baron
Fava, the Italian ambassador an
nounces that a memorial funeral SER
vice will be held at Washington on Au-
gust 18th, at IL o'clock, in honor of
King Humbert. President Mckinley
has already signifed his purpose to
come on from Canton and be present
at the official ceremony, and members
of the cabinet in the city also will be
present The service will be at St.
Matthews Catholic church. with Car
dinal Gibbons as the principal digni-
tary of the church, officiating. All of
the embassies and legations in Wash
ington have received invitations to be
present, the foreign representatives
being requested to attend in uniform.
Most OF the ambassadors and ministers
are out of the city, but they are expect
ed TO return or send members of their
stats to represent them at this formal
tribute to Italy's dead ruler. 1t is I'M
derstood that Lord Pauncefote will not
be able to come on from Newport, but
will designate Mr.. Lowther or another
member of his staff TO represent the
British government.
In diplomatic quarters the announce
ment of this service at a Catholic
church occasioned some little surprise
In view of the conditions existing be-
tween the church an dthe temporal au-
thorities at Rome, and the announce
ment was accepted as most pleasant
augury of the growing good feeling be-
tween the church and the temporal au-

Tsung-Ii-Yamen and to the in
sistence of the Chinese govern
ment of the removal of tAe MIN
listers from Pekin, State De-
partment officials say it may be
assigned "a date not earlier than
July 30, and perhaps not later
than August 2. 1t is checked
by the telegraph company as
having been put on the wires at
Tsi-Nan, "a large city about so
miles southeast of Pekin, on
August Z. The despatch reach
ed the State Department at
6:20 y. m, but was not made
public until late in the evening.
Those who were at the White
House in conference with the
President included Acting Sec
rotary Aidee, of the State De-
partment; Secretary Root and
Adjutant General COrbin.
Captain Michael, the chief
clerk of the State Department.,
through whose hands the tele-
grams pass, was also present
part of the time.
What the result of the CONFER
ence was the officials declined
to say. That it will stimulate
the energies of the government
to Its utmost endeavor to press
forward the advance movement
towards Pekin is certain, for
MIR. Conger's message makes 1T
clear that for the ministers to
leave Pekin would result in
their death.
Secretary Root did not care
to make any statement when
asked about the situation to-
night.
The officials had been led to
believe from the more recent
dispatches which had purpOrt-
ed to emanate from Chinese
sources as well as from imper-
iaI edicts that the condition of
the legationers was much i'm
proved, but tO-day's advices
show a very different aspect of
affairs.
