FROM GERMANY.

Berlin, June 19.-The German govern
ment continues to express its opinions
without the utmost caution regarding
the situation in Chinese, even Though it
contrives TO avoid the use of the word
war and still expresses a hope that the
Pekin government is innocent of deliver
able hostile action. The German press,
however, is out spoken in its demands
for more vigorous steps. The Vossische
Zeitung says:
"Germany in conjunction with tbs
other powers, will bear her share of the
burden of re-establishing normal condi-
share Of the reward "
An official of the foreign Office re-
marked today that if the alarming news
from Pekin last received were true, some
confirmation of it would almost certainly
have reached the coast, adding:
"Still the foreign Office is prepared TO
hear bad news when any news does come,
which Will probably be several days
hence
The foreign Office emphasizes tine fact
that the TalSu forts fired upon the inter-
national fleet in answer to a request to
land marines to protect foreigners in Tien
Tsin. 1t is unable TO explain the action
of the Chinese commander except upon
the assumption that he acted under gem
eral orders from Pekin.
The foreign Office has no confirmation
of the report published in the British
papers that the German gunboat Iltis
was badly damaged in the engagement
with the forts and that her captain was
killed 1t diseredits the rumors. A lead
ing official, speaking for the foreign
Office, repeats the denial that the powers
are negotiating regarding a course of
joint action and says that everything has
been left to- the various commanders, who
will simply perform police duty"
An official despatch says that every
thing is quiet at Kiao Chou.
The mother of the German minister at
Pekin, Baron Won Ketteler, in Munster,
has received telegram from China say
ing that the news of her sons death is
not true.
The Chinese minister in Berlin has
countermanded the diplomatic reception
for Friday next, invitations to which had
already been issued.

That the Delegations Are Talking OF
For Vice PA esident.

Philadelphia, June 19.-Lieut. Gov.
Timothy l.. Woodruff viii be presented
to the national convention as the oandi-
date Of New York for Vice President. 1t
was decided to do this after four hours
stormy session of the New York delega-
ton, during which every kind of appeal
was made TO get Gov. Roosevelt to ny
that he would accept nomination. The
Vice Presidential situation is still mixed,
but it is asserted that New York makes
this move so as to go into the invention
with a candidate and yet hoping that
Gov. Roosevelt will be nominated. SEN
ator Hanna has stated that he controls
the delegates to such an extent that he
can nominate any candidate he pleases
and it is not known that he has with
drawn his objection TO Mr.. Woodruff.
The latter was as much surprised as
anybody over the result. In general the
idea comes to be prevalent that Secre-
tary Long is the most favored candidate
with a probability that Roosevelt may

Fear That wires in Lord Roberts Rear
Have Been Cut.

London, June 2o.--3.s5 a. m.-The
casualties made public by the war office,
including long list OF missing, show
British losses in engagements hitherto not
rHportsd. In an attack on a construction
train at Leeuw Spruit on June IA, three
were killed, five wounded, and sixty cap
tured. Leeuw Spruit is forty miles north
of Kroonstadt. This was the day of the
Zand river attack, eighty miles distant.
Another list shows nine wounded and
eleven missing In an action at Vredefort,
on June Z, no previous mention Of which
has been made.
The Daily Mail points out that 1t Is
quite possible the wires have again been
cut in Lord Roberts rear as no dispatches
later than June 10, have been received.
The Beers are gathering in force in
front of General Rumble near Ficksburg.
His forces stretch for eight miles. As
some parts of the line are weakly held,
the British fear that the Beers may break
through. Outpost skirmishes are of daily
occurrence.
The Beers there are commanded by De
Vilers and Hermann.
Mr.. Steyn is at Bethlehem, the tempo
rary capital of the Free State.
According to dispatches from Loure nco
Marquee, dated yesterday the Malana
bridge has been destroyed. One account
says it was blown up. Another asserts
that IL was undermined by a patrol from
Swaziland and so collapsed under the
weight of train. This will temporarily
interrupt the flow of supplies to the Beers
from Lournoo Marquee.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Daily Mail telegraphing June 1, says that
Lord Roberts is getting huts for thirty
thousand men and Is arranging transport
for part of his army, although his plans
are not to take effect Immediately.
The Lourenco Marquee correspondent t
of the Daily Express says:
"a German-American, well known to
the New York police, is alleged to have
planned desperate attempt to steal some
of the bar gold from the trucks attached
to President Kruger's travelling capital.
He is said to have carried off some bars
before he was discovered.

Philadelphia, June 19.-<one of the
prettiest contests among the state dele
cations was that today in the Ohio dele
cation for national committeeman. Three
candidates had announced themselves and
while it seemed certain that George B.
Cox of Cincinnati would be chosen, an
other candidate, NJ. A. Norris of Youngs-
town, suddenly developed unexpected
strength, his friends asserting that he
would be elected. They reckoned without
the votes, however, for Cox received 90
or the others Norris received IA, Charles
Stewart of Springfield l, and Col. Dick

The contest for national committeeman
in the Maryland delegation resulted to-
day in the election of Senator McComas
over Mayor Master of Baltimore, II to 8.
The Baltimore city delegates were a unit
in voting against McComas. The dele
gates tomorrow viii decide on their ac-
ton on the Vice Presidency.
The Utah delegation is dead-locked in
the selection of a national committeeman
and it appears more than likely that the
disagreement will be carried to the ma
tional committee for settlement. Three
of the acknowledgements Wells, Thomas
Kerns and Edward Loose, presented the
name of o. j. Salisbury of Salt Lake
City, but he is not satisfactory TO the re-
mainder of the delegation. The six alter
mates are also opposed to him. Their OBJ
lection is based ON the fact that Mr.. Sails
bury bolted the party and went over to
Bryan, refusing to sever on the national
committee after he had been elected in
st. Louis. The delegates opposed TO him,
have as their first choice r. S. McCor-
mick, a prominent banker of Salt Lake
City, but they assert that any good Re

About Cotton.

We are glad to note that a very
small per cent. of cotton is being
sold in the seed this season.
This is not surprising, however,
when one stops to figure on the
results. Say that 1900 pounds of
seed cotton are sold for So 80, the
top of the market. This would
net $43.5O.
On the other hand, 1900 pounds
ginned, making 500 pounds of lint
sold for 9 cents. the top of the
market. This would net $45.
Besides this, the seed will sell fol
So, making a total of $50. De-
duct from this $3.50 for ginning
and wrapping and it leaves $46.5O
profit of SO over cotton sold ir
the seed.
Besides this there are some fif
teen buyers ready to bid on youl
lint cotton and not nearly so many
who will bid on seed cotton.
Even if lint cotton brough

still be SO cents on the. bale By
