London, July Gas to the story that

Shanghai gather details from Chinese
sources, which, pieced together, relate
that when the foreigners ammunition
was exhausted, the boxers and imper-

troops were so hopeIessly outnumbered
that their fate seems certain. The

Silver Republicans Issue An Address
to People.

Kansas City, July S.-rhe executive
committee Of the silver republican
party yesterday issued an address TO
its partisans throughout the United
States relating to the doings of the
convention at Kansas City whereby
Bryan was nominated for president
and the matter of a candidate for vice
president referred to the national COM
mittee with power to act. The adj
dress details the circumstances under
which the party came into existence
four years ago, explaining that in that
year they found in the democratic
candidate for president and in the plat
form upon which he stood a complete
and sufficient justification for giving
him their hearty support. After de-
cIaring that the republican party made
a profound departure from the tradi-
tions and interests of the American
people by rejecting the free coinage Of
silver, the address concludes as fol-
lows: Our common candidate for
president is enlisted, heart and soul, in
this great cause. We know he has
high courage in his convictions. His
triumph is necessary if we are to hand
down to our children and our chill
drens children the government found
ed on the wisdom of the fathers, main
tanned by the blood and treasure of its
citizens, and perpetuated as a priceless:
heritage. 1mpelled by these consider
ations, your national committee has
determined that its duty in this IN
stance is to endorse Adlai E. Stevenson
as our candidate for vice president il
order that opposition to the GOLD
standard, trusts, monopolies, imperia,
ism and all its attendant evils may con
centrate its votes at the danger point
and accomplish triumph of thos.

London. July 8.-There is nothing in
the few dispatches received last night
to add to the ray of hope regarding the
fate of the legations at Pekin shed b
Yesterdays dispatches from Washing
ton and messages from other sources
indicating that the legations were still
standing July 3. News from other
points are distinctly disquieting. a re
port from Che Foo says a Catholic
bishop, two priests and two nuns had
been murdered. A report from Monk
den says the Danish mission at Hin
Yung has been surrounded by boxers.
According to report, it will be
possible for it to hold out only two
days. A party Of Cossacks had started
for the relief Of those besieged at the
Danish mission The situation at Tien
Tsin July is said to have been most
serious. japanese and Russian forces
were reported to have been hurrying
there from Taku but according to some
accounts mutual distrust exists be-
tween the allies.
Legations Holding Out.
London, July 8.-The foreign office
has issued a telegram from Acting
Consul General Warren at Shanghai
confirming from thoroughly trust
worthy sources the news received by
courier from Pekin July 8, saying the
two legations were the day the cOur-
Ter left, holding out against the troops
and boxers, and that the troops had
lost 1000 men and the boxers many
leaders. Warren adds the messenger
says. the troops were much disheart-
ened by their losses, and that the box
ers claim their mystic powers have
been broken by the foreigners and that
they dare not approach the legations.
1t is further asserted the foreigners at
Pekin ought to be able to hold out for
a long time, as they have sufficient
food and ammunition.
More Vessels Go.
Washington, July 8.-The navy de
partment has received the following
cablegram from Admiral Remey:
"Chefoo-The Brooklyn arrived; will
proceed Immediately to Taku.",
Victoria, B. c., July 8.-The Arethu-
sa has been ordered to China. She
