1e.ooo Mem to Go to chinn.

The Berliner Tageblatt says: The de-
cision of the kaiser to send the First di-
vision of battleships to China is a resolu-
ton Of a very serious military character,
though it is not a declaration of war.
This division consists of four battleships,
the Bayern, the Wurtemberg, the Baden
and the Sachsen. All of these are of I 400
tons displacement and each carries a
crew of 440 men. There is no doubt that
the kaiser by the choice of these four
battleships, which bear the names of the
four great States Of the empire, desired
to give proof TO the powers of the solid
aruy of the German empire.
The transports Wittekind and Frank
furt, with 200 marines on board, sailed
this morning from WiIhelmshaven to re-
intorce the German contingent in China.

BERLIN, July 3.-The Emperor,
Count Won Buelow, and the military
and naval authorities this morning
continued their deliberations at Will
helmshaven, concerning the sending of
further troops to China. Nothing au-
fkeritative can yet be learned as to
any determination reached at the con-
terence, but it is known that the kali.
ser is extremely agitated by the muir
der Of his minister and desires that a
strong punitive force be prepared at
once for dispatch to China. 1t is re-
garded as dN1btful if Germany will
declare war on China, though such a
course alone would satisfy the Ger

LINCOLN, Neb., July 3.-The tide of
Democratic humanity turned outward
from Lincoln to-day, most OF Mr.. Bry-
ans visitors leaving on early morning
trains for Kansas City. By tonight
practically all will be gone, and to
add to the exoduss are five hundred
members of Lincoln Democratic
marching clubs.
Congressman James Kerr, of Penn
sylvania, the last man with special
mission to arrive from Kansas City,
following closely on the heels of David
B. Hill was as uncommunicatlye as
his predecessor as to his visit and its
object The impression gains ground
that the Nebraska delegates are the
authorized keepers of the Bryan secret
and that his wishes concerning the
platform and second place on the
ticket, if he has any choice of running
mates, will be divulged when the pro-
per time arrives, by the men from his
own State.
The wearing of Towne badges by
the Nebraskans at Kansas City has
no significance outside of Nebraska.
The coupling of the names of Bryan
and Towne does not commit Mr..
Bryan to support the Minnesotan,
but merely represents the views of the
delegates themselves and is in reality
token of their desire to maintain
the equilibrium of the fusion agree
ment between the Democrats and Pop
ulists of this State They will support

him and think him fit material, but
largely from Nebraska standpoint,
because it is good politics. Should Mr.
