NEARLY ALL FOR BRYAN.

Cleveland, July 17.-Ohio gold Demo-
Gratis will vote for Bryan this fall even
those who were most opposed to him
four years ago and who then voted for
the gold Democratic ticket, according
to Joseph Breitinger, chairman of the
county gold Democratic organization Of
four years ago. He said
There is a stampede to Bryan among
the gold Democrats Of Ohio, sorry as
am to admit 1t. I shall not vote for
Bryan and probably shall vote for Nc
Kinley. I will call meeting Of the
campaign committee Of the gold Dem
ocrats and try to get things in better
shape, but fear we shall not be able
to stop the stampede. To get at tn.
sentiments Of the Democrats who op-
posed the Chicago platform four years
ago have talked or communicated
with about 400 Of them, and have been
surprised to find that nearly all Of them
are for Bryan now."

Japanese have discharged at Taku three
shiploads Of coolies, horses, water tanks
and abundant stores. Their force is
well equipped and is far superior to any
of the others. A Japanese officer at
Tlen Tsin declared that notwithstanding
the rains which were as yet not serious,
they could reach Peking before the roads
became impossible. The European
commanders think this Is impossible,
that no advance Is practicable until Sep
tember. 1t is being seriously questioned
in Tien Tsin whether the allies will be
able to maintain their position. In view
of the constant increase of the Chinese
forces 1t will be impossible without
strong reinforcements. If these do not
arrive soon the abandonment of the
place will be compulsory

ARE AFTER
INFORMATION
Concerning Strength of the
Eighth Ohio Regiment.
REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT
That the Information Is Desired at This
Hour-wants Strength Both On
Peace and War
Footing.

Columbus, July 1S.-At the telegraph
ic request of the war department Gov.
Nash forwarded today detailed inform
alton as to the strength of the Ohio
National guard, both on peace and
war footing. The governor explained
that Secretary Root desired the in
formation merely as basis of the dis
tribution Of the annual military appro-
priation, but it is regarded as exceed
ingly significant that the information
Is desired at this particular juncture.
Governor Nash, during the day, and
Gen. Dick, in the evening, had talks
with Adjutant General Gyger and AS
sistant Adjutant General Adams.
1t Is recognized by the Ohio military
authorities that an extra session OF
congress will not be called unless the
Chinese situation demands the increase
of the army beyond the 1000 limit, but
they are inclined to think this condi.
tion is certain to arise and that ar
extra session cannot be avoided. Gen
Dick declined to be interviewed on the
question Of an extra session, saying
| that as he was a member of the hous,
committee on military affairs, which, II
the event of an extra session woul.
| become the principal committee, 4
| would perhaps be better for him not t,
| express his opinion.

Ranking officer ashore in Admiral Alex
Jeff, at Tien Tsin."
Admiral Remey's dispatch confirms
the press news of this morning that the
battle at Tien Tsin resulted in vic
tory for the allied forces. His state
ment that the city and forts are in the
hands of the allies refers to the native
city and it's defenses upon which the
attack was made. This is regarded here
as an important success, for the cap
ture of Tien Tsin has been considered es-
sential in the further plans of the allies
in their forward march to Peking. The
possession of this place affords a splen-
did base of operations and the moral
effect of the defeat inflicted upon the
Chinese forces, entrenched as they were
behind fortified walls is expected to as
sist the future movements of the allied
forces.

Massillon Independent: Officials of

company say that because the improve
ments which is promised the council
within six months from the date of the
new franchise have not been commenced
the public must not think that it will
not keep its word. There have been
other and more important retarding
circumstances than the scarcity Of ma
terial in connection with the proposed
improvements, but 1t is stated that now
things have taken the right kind OF

Narrowly Escapes Injury
In a Collision.

united the horse from the hitching
post and started to climb into the
buggy, Before he could do so, his
horse started forward, leaving Mr..
Gerber behind. AS he had not yet

and while trying to pass Mr.. john
sons rig, caused the wheels of both
vehicles to interlock.
Seeing that an accident was about

RUSSIAN TRANSPORT SEIZED

Russian Escort-Bombarded
Town,

London, July 1s.-The Daily Mail
publishes a sensational dispatch from
st. Petersburg, dated Monday, which
asserts that there is no doubt that
China has declared war against Russia.
"The Russian press" says the cores
pondent, sis restricted to the publica-
ton Of official details, and the publica-
ton of many dispatches from the
front has been prohibited. I fear, how
ever, from a reliable source that the
Chinese troops and the Boxers seized a
Russian transport vessel laden with
munitions near Aigun (on the Am,ir
river, about IS miles from the Russian
frontier), killing almost the entire Rus
sian escort. They next suddenly at
tackled and bombarded the town OF
Blagovechensk, capital of the Amur
government on the Amur river. The
garrison held out bravely, but were
finally overwhelmed. Nearly all perish
ed, and the town was burned"
