NEWS OF TERRIBLE
MASSACRE FEARED

London July 3, 2:3O p. m.-The fact that
relief column has been unable to leave
Ten Tsin in response to the pathetic
prayer of the beleaguered legations at
Pekin, is generally regarded in London
as destroying almost the last vestige OF
hope for the unfortunate foreigners
pent up in the Chinese capital
The worst is feared, and the massacre
OF CawnpOr is in every mans mind.
u Is beginning 10 be felt here that the
plausible fiction that no state Cf war eX-
lists Is no longer tcnable, and a fully
equipped army belonging to a single ma
uonaiity is necessary To deal with the sit
uation. instead OF the assorted eXpedi-
ton of half dozen natiOnalities.
Hence arises the demand that Japan
shall be given a mandate to complete the
work left undOne in 1884. with proper Sc
curity that she shall not be again
squeezed out when the costly task IS
over.
The consular body at Shanghai is of
the opinion that the food and ammuni-
ton of the besieged legation forces at
Pekin having become exhausted they
must be dead or imprisoned. and that II
would be futile to make desperate efforts
for their relief with an Inadequate force.
u IS regarded AT Shanghai as appalling
that nothing is being done for the RELIEF
OF the besieged foreigners and that they
should be abandoned 10 a horrible fate.

When it was presented Mr.. Clayton
took the floor in opposition TO its ac-
ceptance. saying that there was a we'll
defined and very general wish that Mr..
Bryan should be placed in nomination
on the 4th of July, making a fitting
Democratic celebration of the national
anniversary. Senator Kenney spoke in
the same strain. and Senator Jones re-
sponded from the platform TO add his
voice in support of the proposition All
agreed that such nomination would
add spirit TO the occasion and give the
ticket a send-Of such as it would not
otherwise receive The members of the
committee generally supported the
proposition and as a consequence the
invitation OF the Kansas City people
was declined.
The discussion developed some points
of the programme Of the committee.

COLONEL BRYAN REFUSES
TO BETRAY 4 PRINCIPLE

New York, July 3.-William J. Bryan
in response to private telegram urg-
ing him to drop the silver issue, wrote
a letter to the managing editor of the
World, which was received on May 2.
The World today requested Mr.. Bryan's
permission to print the following ex-
| tracts, because they gave eastern Dem
ocrats who do not know him clearer
/ conception OF his character than any of
his published letters or speeches. Mr.
! Bryan gave his permission and the
! World will print the following:
! Whenever you see in the papers that
have abandoned silver, or side
| tracked it, or tried in any way to evade
it, you can set it down as false. While
men differ as to the relative Importance

uOn and Imperialism, / regard all of
| them as important and have not yet
attempted to decide which is the most
! important. 1t seems to me that the
World ought to be able to see the folly
of my taking sides in the dispute
Why should L discourage those who
oppose the gold standard and trusts.

question of imperialism the alI-import-
ant question? Why should / discourage
the anti-imperialists by saying that the

should / discourage the opponents of

the money question is the only question
to be considered. Others may empha-
size one question or the other. but I
shall emphasize them ALL If we are
TO win in November we must have the
cooperation of all who oppose Republi-
can policies, and that cooperation can
only be secured by making a fight

flying, bands playing. streets respLen-
dant with the blaze of bunting and of
myriads OF lights, and with the ear as
saulted by the deafening conglomera-
ton of bombs and rockets and crack
ers and marching clubs and drum
corps, with this confusion of patriotism
and politics Kansas City is tonight ush-
ering in the national holiday and the
Democratic national convention. There
were crowds here yesterday, but these
were but the advance guard, and today
they have come en- maSSe. fairly en-
quilting the city and taking complete
possession of its streets, hotels and
public places. With this late influx
have come the Tamamny braves. the
Chicago Marching club and many kim
dred organizations with their bands
And yet, for some reason. many of the
most famous convention organizations
such as the DUckWorth club of Cincin-
naati, are not represented here while

Young Mems Louisville club send only

sTAllPEDE OF CATTLE.

John Soul, formerly farmer on
the North farm at Mifilintown, met
with a serious loss of cattle in Per-
ry county where he now resides.
The Newport News of August,
speaks of it as follows:
John Soul, a tenant on William
Reeder's farm in Tyrone township,
met with quite a loss last Sunday
afternoon. He had fifteen head of
cattle in a field, adjoining Snyder's
mill dam. There is a ledge Of
rocks next to the dam, about two
hundred feet high, and thirteen of
the cattle went pell- nell down ov-
er the rocks into about ten feet of
water. One had it's neck broken,
four others had to be killed since,
and there will have to be one or
two killed yet to end their suffer
ing. Quite recently Mr.. Soul re-
fused $50 for two ofthe above cows.
