Chicago, ILL.,, July TO- Chicago
Chiramen are beginning to receive by
letters and papers the first news from
home Of the trouble now existing in
the northern provinces of their native
land. One of the most intelligent
Cinnamon in Chicago, who is In receipt
of a letter from his brother, an officer
IN the Chinese navy, says:
1.-THE bloodiest war known In its
history is now brewing in China, |
have no doubt. The man who is now
in charge of the military affairs in the
region where the Boxers abound is we'll
yersed In the arts of modern warfare.
Before this war ends, | would not be
surprised if LOCO, 600 Cinnamon were
killed. How many foreigners will meet
death | cannot conjecture, but the
number will be great. Ever since the
Chinese learned q lesson from japan,
they have been training themselves IN
the arts of warfare. They have as fine
guns as any government, and we'll.
trained men behind them.
my brother writes me that the great
majority OF Chinese in the southern
provinces are against the ruliEg powers
and the Boxers. There is a large
class in China called Pensioners, who
will be with the government: and, as
they are we'll trained soldiers, they
will do terrible execution.

China. The ignorant Chinaman IS o.
the belief that the missionary Is SEN
there to rob him OF his land, and, con
seeuently, this war will be for thu
home. The Chinaman has seen wher,
Russia, France and Germany hav'
taken parts of their country, and thu
taxes greatly increased under European
rule. He is going to fight for his hom
and his life, and he will not fight will
knives Or swords, as great man.

to anger; but, when once aroused
nothing can stop him.

IMPERIALISM THE ISSUE.

Delegate Handy, Back From Kansas city,
Gives His Views Upon the National Demo-
cratic Platform.
Former Congressman L. irving Handy
arrived home Monday from Kansas
City, Mo-, where he attended the Ma
tional Democratic Convention as one of
the Delaware delegation. In speaking
today of the convention, he said
The Kansas City Convention was
the most enthusiastic national conven-
tions ever held. The Philadelphia con-
vention was tame affair In comparison
with 1t.
Bryan received on the first rol-o
the vote of every delegate. Among
the notable speeches seconding his
nomination were those of ex-senator
David ID. Hill of New York and of
ex-Gov. Robert E. Pattison of Pennsyl-
vania. Both of these distinguished
Democrats pledged to Bryan and to the
platform the earnest support of united
PARTY.
LAS to the Vice Presidency, pre-
ferred Hill, because he is strong and
popular with Delaware Democrats,
and had squared himself with the party
throughout tho nation by declaring in
the convention that the platform
adopted was worthy Of the support of
every Democrat in the country. He
would have been nominated IL he had
not go positively declined. Stevenson
is unexoeptionable and his nomination
was oheerfully made unanimous.
THE platform is ringing declara.
tion OF principles. 1t breathes the
spirit Of genuine patriotism. We made
the fight of 1896 Oh the platform Of
1886, and We propose to make the cam
paign of 1900 on the platform Of 1900
This new platform is not retreat from
the old platform. 1t is rather an ad-
vance from it to meet the pressing
issues of the present. Shall our repub
lie be turned into an empire That il
the paramount question put by tn,
Kansas City convention TO the patri
ctio People of the Union.
1.-THE Democratic party left Chicag
four years ago divided. We come bacl
from Kansas City united. We com
back with our candidates and our plat
form unanimously approved by the vot
OF the convention. No man who desire
to have the least claim to be called
Democrat can afford TO do less tina
give Bryan and Stevenson enthusiast
support. In my opinion, all liberty
loving citizens, regardless of forme
party affiliations, should this year vot
the Democratic ticket.
The sole contention about free silvt
coinage in the committee ON platforl
was contention as to the form
words. Some desired to declare for tn
reaffirmation of the Chicago rlatforn
Others preferred to reiterate certai
words of that platform. Every Evenir
said some 10 days ago that it was Il
difference between 'tweedle- dee ar
tweadle-dum. The Chicago rlatfor
made FREQ silver coinage the paramount
issue; but at Kansas City, witho
changing the stand already taken i
FREQ silver coinage, we thought hest
recognize imperialism as the paramcu
issue, which, in fact, il must be-
