NEWS FULLY CONFIRMED.
Official Dispatch Received at Berlin
Giving Details of the Murder of
the German Minister

BERLIN, July 2-PriYy Councillor
Hamann informed the correspondent of
the Associated Press to-day that the
official despatch announcing Baron Won
Ketteler's assassination, was received
here early to-day.
Baron Won Ketteler, while riding on
horse back to the Tsung Ii Yamen
Foreign office was attacked by large
numbers of Chinese, who pulled him
off his horse and beat him to death.
An interpreter who was with him was
seriously injured, but escaped and sub
sequently reached the German lega-
ton.
Herr Hamann supposes that there
was more bloodshed at the legation the
destruction of which, he declares, was
more alarming because the message
adds that the conditions of the whites
in Pekin was desperate, and aid was
imperatively needed. 1t was also an
nounced that the ammunition of the
legation guards was almost exhausted
When Herr Hamann was asked
whether the course of Germany or
that of the other powers towards China
will be altered by the assassination of
Baron Won Ketteler, he replied, that he
was unable to answer the question be-
cause Count Won Buelow (the minister
of foreign affairs) left here yesterday
evening to meet Emperor William at
Wilhelm Haven, before the alarming
news was received here
Herr Hamann was also asked if the
Chinese minister here would be given
his passports, but the privy councillor
did not reply.

KANSAS CITY, July 2.-Since the re-
turn to this city of some of the Demo-
cratic leaders who went to Lincoln to
see Mr.. Bryan, a sensational story has
been in circulation. According to
statements made, if the committee on
resolutions reports simply an endorse
ment of the Chicago platform without
reiterating 16 to 1, Mr.. Bryan may
come here aud on the floor of the con-
vention offer an amendment, and make
a speech in favor of his favorite ratio.
Should the convention fail to act favor
ably on his amendment it is said he
would be compelled to decline the lom-
nation on the floor of the convention.
Former Governor David B. Hill re-
turned from Lincoln, Neb., at 120
o'clock tnis afternoon and went imme-
diately to his apartments in the Coates
House. He declined to discuss his
conference with Mr.. Bryan, saying that
he might have something to say later
in the day. He would not say what
his conference with Mr.. Bryan related
to.

In MIR. Hills apartments awaiting his
arrival were Elliot Danforth and Re-
personalities Fitzgerald and Rupert, Of
New York, and a number of other visit
ors. MIR. Hill begged to be excused.

VAN WYCK's PLATFORM.
The New York Judge Has Drafted n
Compromise Document.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July Judge
Augustus Van Wyck, of New York, has
draft of a platform which has been
submitted to the Southern delegates and
is said to have met with some favor
from them. The document reaffirms the
Chicago platform, especially confines it.
self to three questions-trusts, imper-
ialism and tariff. 1t says:
In reatfirming the principles declar-
ed in the platform adopted four years
ago, we recognize the new questions
that have arisen in the meantime, and
are not to be understood as turning our
faces from the problems that most ur-
gently confront the country TO those
which, though rightly emphasized by
the Chicago convention, have been for
the present somewhat shorn of their
urgency by the course of recent events.
When the very life of free institutions
is at stake, we think it incumbent upon
all patriots to waive their lesser differ
ences to the end that their united
strength may be exerted against the
common enemy"
AS to trusts, the platform declares
that lin the nation, in the several
States, and in every municipality the
Democracy, through all its organiza-
tons, will wage unremitting war for
the stamping out of these eonspiracies
to re-establish, under the forms of trade,
the power of the few to rule and rob the
many If the laws already on the
statute books be found inadequate to
the work before us, we shall enact laws
that will admit of no excuse for official
inactivity"
With reference to Imperialism, there
Is the following:
I'VE make a clear distinction be-
tween expansion and Imperialism. By
the former we mean that just demand
of a rapidly growing people, distin-
guished in the highest degree for skill
in manufactures, enterprise in COM
merce and unrivalled capacity in agri-
culture, for access to ever enlarging
markets, while by the latter we mean
that un-American spirit which would
identify our flag with tyranny, repu-
diate the principles upon which the re-
public was founded and commit us to
T the abhorrent task of sitting with the
bayonet the natural aspirations of
weaker communities for liberty There
are necessary measures alike to be
taken in the Philippines and China for
the maintenance of the commercial in
terests of this republic as well as for
the effective exercise of our naval and
military authority in the Pacific ocean,
and these the Democratic party will,
without violating any principle, either
of our own Declaration of Independence
or the rights of other people, not hest
tate to take; but we protest against
the monstrous pretence that, in order
to secure the objects herein indicated,
we must invalidate our own claim to
existence as a nation"
The tariff plank declares that Tariff
reform is called for over the entire cir
Gle of our so-called protected indus
tries"

FOR THEIR RELIEF.
All the Energies of the Foreign

A FEELING OF DIsQUIET.

WASHINGTON, July Bad news
came this morning from Admiral
Kempff, confirming the worst stories
which have emanated from China rela-
tive to the conditions at Pekin, and a
feeling of disquiet was noticeable among
administration officials and diplomats.
The German embassy showed particular
anxiety for information respecting the
sad end of Baron Won Ketterel, and in
the course of the afternoon Secretary
Hermann, of the embassy, paid a spe-
cial visit to the State Department to
inquire. M. Thiebaul the charge of the
French embassy, also called, in quest of
information it was said. The visit re-
vived rumors that an effort is afoot to
reach an International agreement re-
epecting the conduct of the forces of the
powers in China. 1t was said this
afternoon at the State Department that
the only news was that there seemed to
be an unanimous agreement on the part
of the powers to welcome with the
utmost cordially Japan's offer to fur
nish reinforcements for the forces now
operating along the PeiHo river in the
effort to reach Pekin, as Japan alone
of all the powers is prepared
To Throw Into China

needed. The news to that effect had
come to the State Department from all
directions and particularly from Eng

State Department is concerned, it has
previously accorded Japan free hand
In the matter of the number of troops
to be employed in China, upon a volun-
tary and courteous statement of the pur-
pose of the employment of these forces.
A gathering in Secretary Hays office
late in the afternoon, of Secretary Root
and Secretary Hitchcock, taken in con
nection with the fact that Secretary
Long had been in conference earlier in
the day with the Secretary o. State,
led to the circulation of rumors that
important developments were to be eX-
pected connected with the strengthen
ing of the United States forces in
China. These rumors, however, were
set at rest by the statement that the
conference had nothing to do with
Chinese affairs, but related to some
Indian troubles in the northwest.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-After for
ty-eight hours consideration and prob
ably after consulting the President at
Canton by wire,> the cabinet officers
here have decided not to ratify the
agreement OF nine articles providing
for the naturalization of Shanghai and
the Southern Chinese ports submitted
by Minister WI.
The government has, however, no
objection to the principle embodied in
the arrangement and has therefore told
Consul General Goodnow by cable that

TOWNE MEN CONFIDENT.

The Towne men say very emphatically
to-day that their man will win the Vice
Presidential sweepstakes. They have
reached a point where they offer the
Democrats certain terms and insist
upon being heard. Their programme is
this: The men authorized to speak for
the Populists and Silver Republicans
will agree with Democratic managers
that both conventions shall go ahead
and nominate Bryan on the first day,
July 4, but that no effort shall be made
to nominate Vice Presidential candi-
date. Committees of conference shall
be appointed with a view of agreeing
upon candidate to unite the forces
of the three fusion parties. If the
Democratic leaders do not agree to this
programme, the Silver Republican con-
vention will make no nomination of
either President or Vice President, but
will appoint committee of conference
on both offices to confer with like COM
mitteeS of the Democrats and POnuliStS

INTERNATIONAL TROOPS
reported From Shanghai to Have
Entered Pekin-A Few Corrob-
Grating Details.

LONDON, July 2.-Among the sensa-
tional kilograms, most of which are
hardly credited, the most important is
statement that the body of interna-
tional troops has forced its way into
Pekin. The optimists find in this some
measure of support for the story in a
telegram from Yung Lu. the Chinese
commander in chief, in which he refers
to the international forces entering
Pekin.
Whether the international forces have
arrived at Pekin or not the message
from Yung Lu describing the critical
situation at Pekin and urging the in
slant advance Of the foreign troops,
shows that at least one faction is ready
to welcome them and join in opposing
Prince Tuan's anti-foreign agitation.
The latter is said to have accomplished
another revolution at the palace by plac-
ing his own son (the heir apparently on
the throne after Selling or driving out
the Dowager Empress and Emperor.
