Tribute to Dead King.
ROME, Aug. 10.-Ten noncommis-
stoned officers of cuirassiers carried the
casket containing the remains of the
late King Humbert from the funeral
train to the large hall of the railroad
station, which had been transformed
into chapel, hung with sable draper
les with gold ornamentation. The first
chaplain of the court. assisted by a
number of priests, pronounced the abso-
luton and the cortege started for the
Pantheon, where rest the remains of
Humbert's father, King Victor Emman-
uel II. The immense space surrounding
the railroad station was entirely filed
with people, and, as the casket was
borne into the open air, touching and
imposing spectacle was witnessed. All
those present uncovered and remained
bareheaded while the procession was in
view. After the casket had been placed
on a gun carriage King Victor Emman-
uel LII took his place at the head of
the princes, who followed the remains.
Behind his majesty were the duke of
Aosta, the count of Turin, the duke of
Genoa, the duke of Oporto, Prince Fer

itors.

Chinese Driven From Yang-Tsun Afte
Four Hours' Fighting.

Chinese Driven From Yaug-Tsun After
Four Hours Fighting.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-In the capture of
Yang-Tsun the losses of the allies, ac-
cording to a dispatch to the Daily Ex-
press from Che Foo, dated Aug. 8, pur-
porting to give an account of that en-
gagement, were 200, the majority of
these being killed.
"The allies marched on Yang-Tsun, /"
says this report, sat dawn Monday.
The position, held by 1900 Chinese, was
well intrenched to the east of the river.
After four hours of heavy fighting the
Chinese were driven from their defense
works..
Another dispatch to the same paper,
dated Tien Tsin, Aug 6, recounts a re-
connaissance that morning by the Jap
anese beyond Hsiku, the result being
that the enemy was developed in strong
force, we'll fortified, at Wei Ho. The
Chinese were superior in numbers, and,
after facing the fire of seven guns, the
Japanese retired to Hsiku, with three
killed and ~ wounded, but having cap
tured 200 horses. With the exception
of these messages, General Chaffee's s
report is the only account published by
the London morning papers telling of
the capture of Yang-Tsun
The editorials generally incline to
view the progress toward Peking as
thus far splendid, but one which can
not be maintained at the presen5 rapid
rate. as the supplies will have to be
maintained
Commenting upon Washington s latest
communication to the Chinese govern
ment, the Daily Chronicle describes it
as ''idyllic diplomacy, and it declares
the Chinese attempts to get the min
listers to leave Peking, as described by
M. Pinchon, have convinced everybody
except the Washington officials that a
steady application of force is the only
argument Peking can understand.

Bumper Wheat Crop in Kansos,

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 1O.-The condi.
tion of the Kansas corn crop is given Off
cially as 81 per cent. This estimate is
based on returns from every school dis
trict in Kansas, dated Aug. 4. Since
then the corn has suffered some from
the continued dry and hot weather, SO
that "half crop" is the best that can
be reasonably expected. By the same
official report, issued by the state board
of agriculture, the total wheat yield is
reported officially as 7s,081, 900 bushels.
This is the largest crop of wheat ever
grown in any year by any American
state. The wheat harvest is over and
the figures may be accepted as correct.

ing Towne's Declination.

ing lOWn0'0 D0Clln8ClOns
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The Tribune
says: "The national executive commit
tee of the Populist party is torn by dis
cord over the question of its authority
to accept Charles A. Towne's declina-
tion OF the nomination for vice presi.
dent and to indorse Adlai E. Stevenson,
the Democratic nominee, for this Office.
No conclusion was reached by the COM
mittee last night, and the matter will
be further considered today. There ap-
peared to be wide disagreement re-
garding the resolution adopted by the
Populist national convention at Sioux
Falls concerning the filing of vacancies
by death, resignation, declination, re-
moval or otherwise.
Secretary Edgerton failed to bring
with him his account of the convention
proceedings, not one OF the committee
men had copy and none that anybody
would accept as official could be found
i'll Chicago. Secretary Edgerton stated
that resolution gave the national COM
mlttee plenary power to receive resig-
nations or decinations and to fill all
vacancies, and some of the representa-.
tives present contended that any au-
thority conferred on the national COM
mlttee extended to the executive body.
This was denied and the denials were
backed by statements to the effect that
any action taken by the executive COM
mittee would have to go before the full
committee for its approval 1t is un-
derstood that Secretary Edgerton has
sent for the official report of the pro.
ceedings of the convention to clear up
the question at issue"
