nicated to the president at Canton,
Ohio, and the following is his reply:
The President of the United States
to the Emperor Of China: Greeting
/ have received your majesty's mes
sage Of July II, and am glad to know
that your majesty recognizes the fact
that the government and people Of the
United States desire Of China nothing
but what is just and equitable. The
purpose for which we landed troops in
China was the rescue of our legation
from grave danger and the protection
Of the lives and property Of Americans
who were soiourning in China in the
enjoyment Of rights guaranteed them
by treaty and by international law.
The same purposes are publicly deciar-
ed by all the powers which have land
ed military forces in your majesty's
empire.
II am to infer from your majesty's
letter that the Indicators who have

tomary Democratic Steal.

Waco. Tex, July 2i.-The populist
state convention tonight nominated a
full state ticket. The platform folio VS.

ton to emhody these questions in the
platform vas voted down.
The following resolution was passed
unanimously:
Whereas, Past experience has prov
ed that populist platforms are tempt
ing to democratic politicians; be it
therefore

executive committee be hereby in
structed to have the populist platform
copyrighted before the democratic con-
vention of August s."
The state ticket nominated is headed
by Jerome C. Kirby of Dallas county,

With it, ice cream may be frozen in a

1t brings into prominence any institu-
ton that remains unchanged. Such an
example is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the. well-known remedy for weak stom-
achs. Fifty years has seen no change
in 1t. While many limitations have
risen and fallen, this excellent medi-
cine has remained unchanged-and as
a cure for indigestion, constipation,
DYSPEPSIA and biliousness, it is I'M

London, July 24.-The foreign Office
has received a dispatch from the Brit
ish consul at Tien Tsin, dated Satur-
day, July 81, stating that he had Just
received a letter from Sir Claude Mac
Donald, The British minister at Pc
king, and dated July 4, appealing for
relief. There were enough provisions
at the legation to last a fortnight, the
letter said, but the garrison was I'M
equal to the task of holding QUE against
a determined attack for many days.
There had been forty deaths and about
double that number wounded.
The foreign office thinks the dispatch
does not affect the main question Of
the reported massacre of members Of
the legation at Picking.

Governments, Assist Allied Relief

Found to an Amicable Settlement.

Washington, July a. The following
correspondence between the president
of the United States and the emperor
of China was made public by the state
department today:
Translation of cablegram received by
Minister WI, July 20, 1900, from the
taotai of Shanghai, dated July 10,
1900:
Have received a telegram from Gov
ernor Yuan of Shang Tung, dated 23d
day OF this moon Gully 1877, who, having
received from the privy council Cat
Peking) a dispatch embodying an i'm
perial letter to the president of the I'm
tied States, has instructed me to trans
init it to your excellency. The imperial
message is respectfully transmitted as
follows:
THE Emperor of China to His Elk
cellency, the President Of the United
States: Greeting-China has long
maintained friendly relations with the
United States and Is deeply conscious
that the object Of the United States is
international Neither coun-
try entertains the least suspicion or
distrust toward the other. Recent out
breaks OF mutual antipathy between
the people and Christian missions caus-
ed the foreign powers to view with sus-
picion the position Of the imperial gov
eminent as favorable to the people and
prejudical to the missions, with the re-
suit that the Taku forts were attacked
and captured. Consequently there has
been clashing Of forces. with calamitous
consequences. The situation has be-
come more and more serious and criti-
graphic memorial from our envoy, WI
Ting Fang, and it is highly gratifying
to us to learn that the United States
government. having in view the friend
ly relations between the W countries,
has taken a deep interest in the pres
ent situation. Now, China. driven by
tuc liIcSlStiDIc COuIoS VI csSuls, udS
unfortunately incurred well nigh uni
versal indignation. For settling the
present difficulty China places special
reliance in the United States. We ad-
dress this message to your excellency
in all sincerity and candidness, with
the hope that your excelency will de-
wise measures and take the initiative
in bringing about a oncert Of the pow
ers for the restoration Of order and
peace. The favor Of a kind reply is
earnestly awaited with the greatest
anxiety. KWANGHSUX.
"'Twenty-sixth year. sixth moon,

the above with the request that your

imperial wishes, will deliver the same

expected to escape. A few reaching
the ear reported half of the command
had been killed or wounded, including
heat prOstrations in the estimate.
After the Americans had retired IN
der cover of darkness they struggled
back in squads all night, pitifully ex-
hausted and carrying their wounded.
The Americans hospital was crowded
and short of surgeons, there having
been no expectation of such losses.
Today squads searched the fields,
collecting the dead and wounded. Colo
mel Liscum's body was escorted to the
boat this evening by two battalions Of
English troops, with a general and
colonel at the head. Lieutenant Colo
mel Coolidge, who is now commanding
the regiment, and Major Lee were
among the pail bearers. The chaplain
of the marine corps read the services
at the canal lock. The body will be
shipped to San Francisco. The total
losses Of the allies are about 800. The
British lost so. The Japanese esti-
mate their killed at so and wounded at
$50. The Russians estimate their cas-
ualties at $50.

REFORMING HOUSE OF LORDS.
Sir Walter Besant Has a Plan That lie
Thinks VIII Be Effective.

Cir Walter Besant Has a ihn ihAt IL
Thinks VIII Be Effective.
Sir Walter Besant nee put forward
what he calls now "a beautiful plan
for the reform of the house of lords.
You shall see for yourself directly
he says, what a simple, comprehen-
sive, thorough measure 1t is. Yet. II
you Will believe me, no one took the
least notice of it. The proof Is that
the house Of lords remains exactly the
same as it was nine years ago. This
1t is to be a prophet before the
point of ripeness. My plan was sim
ply this. On the death of a peer his
life and deeds shall be considered by
a committee Of lords and commons,
or, If you prefer, by a court consisting
of the judges of appeal. If it is shown
that he has performed no service for
the state his peerage will be taken
from his family. AS a strong man
brought rank and honor to the house.
30 a weak man should destroy the
rank and honor. What could be fair
ert There are SO many ways OF serv-
ing the state that any man OF a Wig
orous and active intellect could save
his peerage. For n like reason a peer
wiz disgraced himself should, ipso
fasto, terminate his peerage. II a
grsDt man bestowed this gift-a very
real and valuable gift, meaning social
consideration, and power as well as
wealth. profigate or disgraceful
MAN ohould terminate II. There ara
net many existing titles which would
be endangered, but consider the de-
terrent effect which such a penalty
woeAd produce. 1 fear, however. that
