The allied relief force has succeeded In
getting into Tien Tsin, and another ex-
petition has left for that city TO relieve
Admiral Seymour, who Is surrounded
about ten miles away. IL seems that the
Seymour expedition, not being able 10
get into Pe<in, undertook TO retreat 10
lien Tsin, but was surrounded and cut
Off before reaching the latter city. This
is the substance Of the authentic views
received yesterday. There was the usual
crop of reports from Chinese sources
1t was said that the situation in Tien
Tsin was frightful, and that great
many foreigners had been massacred.
Rumors of dlssgreements between the
allies, and disposition on the part OF
the Russians TO act independently were
also rife. The arrival OF the relief expe-
dition at lien Tsin greatly improves the
situation, but there win be much anx-
iety to learn just what has happened In
that city. The story of general massa-
ere which comes from Shanghai is not at
all improbable, though reports from
Chinese sources have ss a rule proved 10

1t seems impossible that the Democratic
National Convention can commit so
egregious a blunder as would be the con-
domination Of the government for sending
troops and ships for China, and yet Mr..
Bryan is said to have a resolution of that
tenor on his mind. The sending of troops
to China has been simply for the purpose
of protecting the lives of Americans who
are there by right, and who have been set
upon by the Boxers simply because they
are foreigners. To condensn this act
would be tantamount to declaration
that cur government should shut its eyes
to the fate of American citizens abroad.
and let them be plundered or murdered
with impunity. If the Democratic party
wants to bury itself beyond hope of resur-
rection it can do it very quickly by
adopting u resolution condemning the
sending of troops to China.

William ]. Bryan, just ON the eve of the
Kansas City convention, has put out
what he calls an authorized interview, -
but what he doubtless intends to be and
what everybody will interpret to be his
final orders TO the convention. ut is
safe TO assume" he says, ''that the Kan
sas City platform will reafiirn the
Chicago platform, and will contain moth
ing which can be construed as "A sur
render or modification Of that platform
ON the old issues" This is Bryan's not
ffcation that any attempt by David b.
Hill 81 Co. to monkey with the Chicago
deliyeranoe win meet with his disappro-
val. For him TO disapproye it is TO kill
it. Mr.. Bryan too assumes that the man
nominated for Vice President will be in
harmony with the platform, which is a
polite way of saying that no gold Demo :
erat can apply for that place with any
hope of getting it. His deliver
ance throughout is all in one direction,
and that in the direction of no coinpro-
mise with TRAITORS

1t is becoming very evident that China
is not so weak in q military sense as
has been assumed. Clearly n good deal
has been done since the war with Japan
TO rehabilitate the army and equip II
with modern weapons. The dispatches
frequently refer to machine guns being
used by the Chinese soldiers and also
Mauser rifles. The Chinese soldiers in the
forts mt Taku seem to have made a pretty
vigorous resistance and stood their ground
with good deal of courage. Thess are
all disquieting facts. The population of
China is so immense, that her resources
in men are almost exhaustless- If she has
a trained soldiery for a nucleus and
plenty Of modern weapons she MAJ be
able TO put an army in the field that will
severely tax the powers TO overthrow.

Mr.. Thomas may good reason point
with pride to the wonderful strides which
have been made by the little colony that
many years ago he planted in the midst
of the Aroostook wilderness. 1t has now
become one of the most thriving settle
ments in Maine, not merely vieing with
at American neighbors in energy and
enterprise and thrift. but often setting
them examples well worthy of imitation.
Once was when the people of Maine
looked askanoe at the settlement Of
Swedes that was planted at New Sweden.
That time has long gone by. Now every
bo0y admits its success, and rejoices In
it. No emigrants who have come among
us have done more honor and credit to
their adopted state than the Swedes of
New Sweden.

Canton, O., July Preparations for
receiving Senator Lodge and other
members of the notification committee
Thursday are receiving attention at
the Mckinley home today. The special
train is expected to leave Cleveland
about 8 o'clock and reach Canton about
IL o'clock.
The old committees of 1896, the citi-
zens' reception committee and the Can
ton troop will take charge of the COM
mittee at the station and President Nc
Kinley, Senator Lodge and probably
other distinguished party men will oc-
cupy the porch with the members of the
committee on the lawn Immediately in
front. Senator Lodge will speak from
the porch and President Mckinley will
respond and it is probable others will
speak during the day. A tent will be
erected on the lawn and in it lunch will
be served to the committee. The week
opened with a flood of callers and the
mails over Sunday brought much bust
ness from Washington and the presi-
dent and Secretary Cortelyou were busy
in the library all day.

BIG CARNEGIE MORTGAGE.
Lien of $16o,OOO,Ooo Executed on
Corporation Property.

New York, July 9-Probably the larg-
est mortgage in the world was executed
when the Carnegie company made
mortgage to the United States Trust
company, as trustee, for the sum of
500, 00O, 900.
This mortgage was made on all the
properties and securities of the different
individual companies which make up
the. great Carnegie company, to secure
the issue of 500, OOO, 900 worth of per
cent so year bonds which have been ne
gotiated abroad.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
company was held at the office of the
New Jersey Registration and Trust
company, in East Orange, at which the
execution of the mortgage was author
lied, and also the issue of the bonds.
The mortgage was taken out to East
Orange, N. j., where it was formally
filed with James B. Dill for registration
in the office of the New Jersey Regis
tration and Trust company, which is the
local office of the Carnegie company,
and which countersigns the issue of
bonds.

STILL VERY BLACK.
Situation in China Shows Only Doubt
full Improvement.

New York, July "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The situation in China remains very
black, but there are some CLEANS Of
light and a hope that the anti-foreign
movement has eliminated in a revolu-
ton, and this has opened the way for
anarchy, with uSurpation by a military
dictator, counter revolution and indie
pendent action of the viceroys. If the
two legations where the foreigners have
taken refuge can succeed in holding
out for a fortnight. and can be relieved
by strong column from Tien Tsin, the
revolutionary dictatorship may be over
thrown and some substitute found for
it by the united action of the powers.
The chances are heavily against these
results but the situation is not so des-
perate and hopeless as It has appeared
during the last ten days The Euro
pean governments are sending out
fleets and armies, and preparing for
defense of foreign interests on large
scale. The emergency is so critical that
divisions are not likely to arise, at least
until Pelin has been occupied with a
strong force.
The operations in South Africa
against DeWet have an important bear
ing upon the China question, since the
dispersion of the commanders which
have been raiding the lines of commu-
nication in the Free State will enable
Lord Roberts to dispense with several
divisions, which can be transferred to
Taku and Hong Kong. The war office
of either Vrede or Bethlehem, and there
were no trustworthy explanations of
the reasons which had influenced De
Wet in releasing all prisoners under his
charge. The failure of his attack upon
the Ficksburg garrison is confirmed by
press dispatches and General Brabant
is reported to have occupied one of his
strongholds, Doornberg, between Sene-
ka1 and Winburg. Reports of recent
operations have been so confused that
it is not possible to define with pre-
cision the British positions and ap-
proaches to Bethlehem. A failure of
supplies was the probable reason for
the delivery of British prisoners, but
now that DeWet is relieved from the
necessity for guarding them he will
have increased mobility for eluding
pursuit and planning counter strokes.
Raiding may be continued. DeWet will
no longer have any motive for taking
prisoners, since he will not know what
to do with them. Probably the COM
nlandoes will divide and subdivide for
guerilla warfare, and slowly break up
when driven back to the mountains

WHEAT-Liverpoo1 cables came ssd
lower this morning, showing plainly that
foreign markets are not at all in SYM
pathy with any advance from present
prices in this country An attempt was
made to bull wheat, however, and all
kinds of sensational news in the way Of
crop damage was pumped into the mar
ket and all the bull news of ancient his
tory was also scraped up and spread
broadcast but at the close wheat is only
half a cent a bushel higher than Satur-
days close. The visible supply increased
435, 900 bushels against an increase last
year of nearly half a million bushels.
The government crop report will be is
sued tomorrow at 3 p. m, and can not
help but be moderately bearfsh.
We are not in sympathy with this adj
vance and believe that after the govern
ment report is out of the way wheat will
begin to sag back toward 20 cents, where
it belongs.
CORN-Corn was strong. There was
lot of sensational crop damage news from
all parts of the corn belt, stating that hot
winds were 1oing serious damage and IN
some instances had already burned the
growing corn beyond redemption. The
government report will likely be bearish
tomorrow afternoon
OATS are strong.
PROVISIONS-There were 10000 hogs at
the yards and prices quoted sc lower at
the start. September pork opened up
about 2Oc a barrel however, and closed
at top quotations for the day. There is
large short interest in pork and splendid
foreign demand. We believe pork will go
higher. ]. c. GOINGS.

over TWO MILLION
Kansas Bank Deposits Show
Wonderful Increase.
Excess Over February State
ment is $2,173,O57.

The people of Kansas have more mon
ey in banks than at any time in the
previous history of the state These
facts are shown by statement of the
deposits issued today by Bank Com
missioner John w. Breidenthal.
The increase since February has been
over two millions of dollars which is re-
garded as something remarkable in
view of the fact that the farmers have
not yet marketed their crops this year.
The statement in February was aston
ishing. The figures today from the
statement at the close of business June
4, from the state and private banks are
remarkable.
The amount of money now on deposit
in the state and private banks is VS.
272 592. S5, an increase of 81, liza, 057. 81
since February 13.
O91, 745 .05, the present statement showing
a total increase of $3.50, S47.S0 in that
period.
The deposits shown by this statement
would now amount to more than three
and a half million dollars, were it not
for the fact that three banks with $780,
600 in deposits, recently abandoned the
banks.
The total reserve is now $7,792, 119, in
excess of the legal requirement. The to-
tai reserve is 1852 per cent of the Ge-
posts, almost half. The amount now
in reserve is $13,e4S, 991. 81. In February
it was 81, 265, 869S1.
The total amount of loans has de-
creased S1O72, 400 29, since February. In
real estate loans there has been an in
crease of Sl24 81. 0S.
