London. June 26. l g. u.-The dense fog has
not lifted from China The wires are down il
every direction from both Peking and Tien-
Tsin. ana Chinese messages received at the sea
board from the Interior towns are not entitled

IN China for a long period told me yesterday

thac apart from the dispatches Of the admirals
a. Taku there had been no authentic infor-
nation fer fortnight from any source
TIE most significant and ominous fact in the
situation. he added was Prince Tuan's presence
Is commander OF the Chinese forces near Ten
Tsn. since this was q proof that the most
powerful leader Of the Court was at the head
o. an anti-foreign movement. and that well
armed Government troops were nassed on the
SIDE of the Boxers. This meant that China was
a war with Europe. America and Japan.
This Wen informed official could not find in
yesterdays dispatches any evidence that the
relief column under Admiral Seymour had
reache5 Pekirg OF that the legations were safe.
The Chinese assurances were Of no value, and
the news from China was z tissue Of rumOrs-
TINS informant declined TO believe that the

THE AGITATION SPREADS
GREAT NUMBER OF CHINESE TROOPS
AROUND PEKING

lB} The Associated Press
London. June 26-A dispatch from Shanghai
TO The Daily Express" dated yesterday says
that foreign official opinions there incline to
believe that the worst has happened to the Ie-
cations at Pezing and to Admiral Seymour as
well. Even if the legations were safe on June
10, there is no guarantee that they are safe
now. The situation. in fact, grows more and
more gloomy. The entire absence of reliable
news from the capital seems 70 justify the
worst construction which can be put upon it.
Bad news comes from Nau-King. where the
unrest IS said to be growing hourly, Viceroy

GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BrxE.1

Albany June 25.-David r. Hill does not ap-
pear TO be losing any sleep over the statements
coming up trom the South that he is to be
nominated for Vice President when the Demo
cratic National Convention meets in Kansas
City, for this morning he was in his law office
early. looking we'll rested after being all Sunday
at his home, Wolterts Roost. There he had
been visited by Senator Bate, Of Tennessee but
Mr. Hill said it purely a social call; what
ever was said about politics was only of an i'm
material nature It is therefore plain that SEN
ator Bate was not the intermediary in an at
tempt Of the Southern Democrats Of promt-
nence to persuade Mr.. Hill TO become Bryan's
unfortunate companion on the Presidential
ticket. Moreover, Senator Bate visited Mr. Hill
in company with Elliot Danforth, and it being
well known that Mr.. DanfOrth ardeutIy desires
the nomination for Vtce-President, and is work
ing hard TO gain that nomination. Senator Bate
would hardly be so indelicate as to brOach 10

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-06-26
HOLDS HIS OLD OPINIONS.

Mr. Hill could hardly accept the Democratic
nomination for Vice President. lie never has
taken back his remarkable speech at the Demo
cratic National Convention OF 1886, when. pre-
cediug Bryan. he tore into fragments with his
well founded criticisms almost every plank pre-
sented as q party platform by the Committee
on Resolutions. Mr.. Hill has made no retreat
from the position he took then, and it is Well
understood from his course at the recent Demo
cratic Convention Of this State that he desires
a modification of the Democratic National plat
form of 1896. not reaffirmation Of it; that he
thinks a platform can be constructed which
viii unite the Democrats Of the country and
give them chance to elect their candidates for
President and Vice-President.
The Vice Presidency is a small matter in such
a year as the present one and no Eastern State
can be carried by the popularity Of its favortte
SON nominated for Vice-President il he should
he weighted down by a reaelrmation Of the Chi
cago platform Of 1895 That, at least, is the
Judgment of the Hill Democrats Of this state.
Frank Campbell chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. opposes the reaf1rrlation OF
the doctrine that silver should be admitted to
coinage at a ratio Of Is 70 /. He does not say
SO directly but his appeal 10 Mr.. Bryan not TO
adopt pIanks in the Democratic party platform
which win eudanger the success Of that party
can mean nothing else. Since Mr. Campbell had
just previously had a long conference with 3lr.
HH his statement in t&-days Tribune is the
more interesting.
Mr.. CampbeIrs declination OF a reelection as
a member of the Democratic National Commit
tee is also significant. He is Mr. HiIIs intimate
personal friend. His resolution not to continue
as a member Of the Democratic National Com
mfttee did not deter him from seeking and OBJ
tanning the post OF chairman of the Democratic
State Committee OF this State. A man may be
willing to assume the responsibility for a State
campaign. but not of National campaign
hopeless from the start il consequence Of a bad
platform.
