After Hard Fighting the Chinese
Fled.
The guns Of the allies did immense
damage to the native city, causing
many large conflagrations, and finally
silenced the majority of the enemy's
guns simultaneously. Then 1900 Rus
slams, assisted by small parties of Ger
mans and French, assaulted and cap
tured eight guns that were in position
on the railway embankment for the
fort, the magazine of which the French
subsequently blew up. A body OF
Americans, British, japanese and Aus
trian troops then made sortie and at
tackled the west arsenal which the
Chinese had occupied. After three
hours of the hardest fighting yet ex'
perienced, the Chinese fed.

ONE OF McK1NLEY's HEROES.

Mr.. Mckinley has been unusually un-
fortunate, even for a President, in
the selection of his favorites, and
were his party in reality the mammoth
elephant its deyotees are fond of pic
turing it, it's broad back must bend
dangerously meath the burden he has
piled upon it in this respect alone. The
latest on the list is General Otis, of
Philippine fame, who has just been ad-
vanced to a Major Generalship on the
Presidents recommendation.
The following pencil sketch of this
hero who directed campaigns and rout-
ed the Filipinos persistently, via the
telegraph and cable, comes direct from
Manila from special correspondent
located there. He says:
Nothing could have been more char
acteristic of General Otis than his de-
parture ON the transport Meade. The
could be sent home on the Meade; the
quartermaster that mo wives could CO.
General Otis does not like to have
either sick men or women about him.
for the Meade, and the surgeons say
disappointment will kill at least eight
of them.
General Otis went aboard the Meade
ten days ago to look at her accommo-
dations. and, not finding them to his
satisfaction ordered many changes. 1t
cost the United States $1400 day to
keep the Meade here awaiting his plea
sure.
In all of the 81 months that he has
been in command General Otis has
been outside the beaten path of his car
riage to and from his residence. but
once, except for a few official calls and
attendance at Lawtons funeral. He
was never inside a hospital or a bar
racks. He never inspected anything.
There was some talk recently of mak-
ing the newly-fedged Major General
Mr. McKinley's running mate in the
coming contest. Nothing could be
more appropriate. How the soldier
and sailor vote of the country would
be poured into the lap of this hero who
consulted his own ease and comfort at
the expense of gallant soldiers lives.
1t lis a queer aggregation this admin
dstration of ours is gathering for the
coming national parade.

MORE TROUBLE FOR THE COP.

An important gathering of eolored
men assembled in Philadelphia We'd
nesday, with the avowed purpose of
forming a National Negro party. In
this gathering were included many of
the leading negroes of the country. In
their call which they have issued to
members of their race these men plain
ly state that it is time the negro ceased
being simply the tool and vassal of the
Republican party, to his own detri-
ment, and for him to assert his man
hood and exercise his right of franchise
free. Verify, the clouds OF trouble Ger
the Republican camp are thickening.
Cut off from them the colored vote Of
The country, or even a fair percentage
of it, and the party loses its handspring
Of strength.
There are among the negroes of this
country to-day many men of strength
of intellect, who have made their infu-
ence felt among their brethren in both
religious and secular affairs. These
are the men who are taking the initia-
tive in this new movement, and so
thorough are their plans that they urge
nominations of colored men in every
congressional district in the country
and the completion of a ticket which
shall include Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates. Not with
hope of electing their men is the for
nation of this ticket urged upon the
colored voters by these leaders, but
with a view to establishing their indi
viduality and independence To show
the Republican party whose vassals
they have been ever since the right of
franchise has been conferred upon
them that they have grown tired of the
servitude, and propose to throw off the
yoke.
No wonder in the light of this warn
ing that Mark Hanna shed tears the
other day when the fates of the armor
trust bill hung in the balance in the
United States Senate. More than ever
now will his party need the liberal
campaign donations of the trusts.

Mr.. Croker ON Bryan.

The new AofA journal pnaCed re-
cenly an elaDorate III .elview On
American polItlcs with kithsrd Cr9k-
el, the Iammany leader, VINO is now III
England. Mn Croker is quoted as
saying that William j. Bryan viii be
elected as sure as rate, that he will
defeat Mr.. Mckinley i'll his own State
OF Ohio and that MIR. Bryan lis far
and away the ablest man we have in
American politics; there is no man to
compare with him or put alongside of
him. The Tammany leader states
that he is for Bryan with his whole
heart" and then disposes of the silver
issue as follows:
william j. Bryan is right in taking
his stand upon silver. He is right in
sticking to his guns. My party inter
ests, as far as New York City is con
cerned, would counsel me to advise
that he should weaken on the silver
plank, but | would not say a word to
induce him to do it. 1t would, indeed
be fatal for him to do it. If he were
TO weaken on silver, he might gain
some votes from the bulls of Wall
street, but he would lose far more in
sacrificing the interests of the strug-
Cling farmers, who are ground down
between combinations of railways and
trusts.
Mr.. Croker is said by his admirers to
be one of the shrewdest politicians in
the country. Ex-senator Hill and
other gold Democrats in the Empire
State have stated that they are in favor
of the Nebraskan. Mr.. Hill knows as
much about political sentiment in the
East as Mr. Croker, and probably a
great deal more, for Mr.. Croker's repu
tation rests chiefly upon the skill with
which he has kept Tammany in power

China, dark, mysterious, and after
all the efforts made by Christian ma
tions to evangelize and civilize it's in
habitants, still unknown, is to-day the
centre of attraction to the civilized
world. Recent events transpiring

made the air even here in the United
States vibrate with a martial thrill.
To-day while the readers of the Della
warean are perusing this article, there
is being assembled at Hampton Roads

missed is Chinese waters. Assassination
and rapine are raging in the Flowery

places ON the ticket will be in accord
with his selection, which will give us
such a favorable weapon that will en-
able us to strike the enemy such ter

forced march from old Sussex, through
Kent and New Castle and land them
where they naturally and rightfully

COMMUNICATED.
.Anent Candidates.

To the Editor of the Delawarean.
Sir: 1t is seldom that have known
the mention of anyone for political
office to produce the profound and
favorable impression as has the antici-
pated candidacy for Congress of Joseph
E. Holland of Milford, Delaware.
Mr.. Holland has been all his life a
consistent and persevering Democrat,
believing in the principles of his party
and advocating them in his forceful
way wherever the opportunity offered
itself. can say without fear of con-
tradiction that the candidacy of Mr..
Holland would produce among the
Democrats of this county the feeling
that the Democratic party was about
to return to the old line along which
lit achieved success for a score of years.
There is not a man, woman, OF child in
Sussex county who knows MIR. Holland
by reputation, who would not be proud
Ito have him elected as their represen-
tative anywhere, and If the Democratic
State convention Shall show its ap-
probation of high character, upright
life and lifelong devotion to Demo-
cratic principles by the selection of
Joseph e. Holland as one of it's cam
didates 1T will arouse such enthusiasm
as has not been seen in old Sussex for
many, many years.
We all sincerely hope that Mr.. Hol-
land will be nominated for the office
for which he has been mentioned, and

The Delawarean has answered the
queries propopounded by the Evening
journal. We stated plainly that the
journal viewed both Democrats and
Democratic policy from a Republican
standpoint, and its denunciation of
either men or measures is therefore ac-
cepted by Democrats as high commen-
dation. Thus it answered itself, only
