The spantah War and 1ts Results.
Some things have happened in the past
four years which were not promised nor
even foreseen and our purposes In rela-
ton to them must not be left in doubt.
A just war has been waged for humanity
and with 1t have come new problems and
responsibilities. Spain has been elected
from the Western hemisphere and our
flag floats over her former territory. Cuba
has been liberated and our guarantees to-
her people will be sacredly executed. A
beneacient government has been provided
for Porto Rico. The Philippines are
ours and American. authority must be-
supreme throughout the archipelago.
There will be amnesty broad and liberal, ,.
but no abatement Of our rights; no aban-
donment Of our duty. We will fulfil in the
Philippines the obligations imposed by
the triumphs Of our arms a1d by the
treaty Of peace: by international law; by
the nations sense of honor; and, more
than oil, by the rights interests and con-
ditions of the Philippine people them
selves. No outside interference blocks the
way to peace and q stable government.
The obstructionists are here, not else
where. They may postpone but they can
not defeat the realization Of the high pur-
pose Of this nation to restore order to the
islands and to establish just and gener-
Gus government, in which the inhabitants
shall have the largest participation for
which they arc capable.

Nebraska Fusionists Reach an Agreements
After an Albright Session.
LINCOLN, Neb., July ID. Daylight
found the three fusion state conven-
tons still in session, after a record
breaking all-night session and with
practically no progress further than the
adoption Of their separate platforms. A
recess was taken at a. m. until 10.
On reconvcning the conference COM
mittees reported q compromise PROPOSE
ton whereby the Democrats are given
three electors, tho Populists four and
Silver Republicans one; the Democrats
to have two state offices, Silver Repub-
licans one and the Populists the rest.
Without acting on the reports the Pop
ulists referred tho whole controversy to
q committee of one, M. +. harrington,
with power to treat with the Demo-
Gratis, but instructing him not to con-
cede more than ono state officer. This
was finally accepted.
William A. Poynor was then renom-
mated for governor by the Populist
wing.
The Democrats ratified the nomina-
ton Of Governor Poynter, and then
nominated w. D. Oldham for attorney
general. The Popuhsts in turn nom
mated Oldham and named e. A. Gill
bert, Silver Republican, for lieuten-
ant governor by reclamation. This
left the remainder Of the ticket to be-
completed by the Populists.

SATISFIES Mr.. BRYAN.

He Will Remain ut Lincoln Until a Few
Days Before Notification.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 14.-The date,
Aug. 8, on which he is to receive Of
fetal notification Of his nomination by
the Democrats, is satisfactory to Mr..
Bryan. It is doubtful If he will leave
Lincoln much before that time, though
he does not himself know just what his
programme will be. He docs not, how.
ever, expect to make any speeches in
advance Of his notification. Mr.. Bryan
is spending much Of tho time in his
library with his photographer, working
on material for the campaign. Charles
A. Towne has been with him part Of
the time, which leads to the belief that
the Minnesotan will be one Of the most
active ieutenants in the campaign.

Positively Stated That Ii Hung Chang
Will Not Go to Pekin Now.
LONDON, July 14.-The scanty dis
patches received add nothing to the
knowledge in London of the Chinese
situation.
It is stated positively from Canton
that Lii Hung Chang will remain there
until the allied troops have defeated
Prince Tuan's forces, and will then 60
north to lend his powerful aid in ar
ranging terms of peace, cooperating
with Prince Ching, Young Lou, and
the other pro-foreign viceroys. For the

he can best control and direct the
viceroys from Canton, and also keep the
turbulant province Of Kwang Tung.

incessant fire rendering position after

Cossacks captured six Krupp guns and
killed numbers of fleeing Boxers. The
Chinese lost 5000 killed, including

LEARNING TO SWIM. :,
Some Hints In an Art Which Bvo1T.
" body Should Acquire.

Some Hints In an Art Which BvOHVs
E% body Should Acquire.
Learning to swim should be part Of
every woman's education. It is a point
10 far that has been too much neglect
ed, according to a writer in The La
dies World, who gives the following
hints:
If one Gun wear a life preserver while
learning, much nervous apprehension
10 avoided. The knowledge that one
cannot possibly sink is a great aid to
the timid pupil. Another good way ia
to have an assistant or director who
sits in boat or on the end of spring
board or raft holding pole, the other
end being attached by line to a stout,
broad belt around the chest. Where
one has neither life preserver nor q
friend at the end Of a pole the next
best thing is to learn the motions of
the stroke and practice, keeping in
shallow water, 80 that when tired the
feet can be regained while resting.
First, the hands are put together,
palms downward, under the chin, and
they are shot outward, cutting the wa
ter like wedge. At the same time the
feet are kicked forcibly outward as far
apart as possible, the heels then drawn
sharply together until they touch. The
amount Of propelling power depends on
the vigor Of the kick outward and the
force with which the heels are drawn
together. AS the body loses momentum
the hands are separated, turned palms
outward and swept back with a strong
motion, describing half circle. ST.
simultaneously the knees are drawn up
under the body preparatory for another
stroke.
While learning it is almost impossi-
bic to keep the face entirely out of the
water until the habit Is formed of hold
Ing the head upward and backward,
the chin elevated. If the lungs are
well filled before beginning the stroke,
the breath can be held until one or two
strokes are made, when the air may be
expelled and the lungs again filed be-
fore renewing the exertion.
The best way to practice after hav-
Ing learned the motions is to 60 into
the water every day, twice If possible,
not staying in too long at a time, where
there is smooth, sandy shore. Wade
out to where the water is waist deep
and swim lengthwise of the shore or
when little more confidence has been
gained wade out to where the water
nearly reaches the neck, turn around
and try to swim ashore.
Never under any circumstances while
learning attempt to swim out from the
shore, for a stroke or two sometimes
will bring one where it is impossible to
touch bottom.
