TUAN IN COMMAND.

Best Chinese Troops Engaged in tho At
tack on Tien Tsin.
SHANGHAI, June 25.-Prince Tuan
has taken charge as general-in chief,
after Diminishing Young La, a nephew
of the emperor, the former commander
in-chief. Prince Tuan gave notice that
he would march to Tien Tsin and sweep
out the handful of foreigners there. AT
daylight on the morning Of June 81, he
attacked the settlements at Tien Tsin
with artillery, and the best of the
drilled troops. The Chinese army had
about 45 Krupps. They managed to
burn the United States consulate. The
warehouses and the Standard Oil com
pany's premises are believed to have
escaped. Though the situation il
grave, the Chinese have not occupied
lien Tsin.
The latest news from Pekin emanat'
ing from authentic sources is to the
effect that there is no change in the
situation. This is understood that the
legations still hold out. The Chinese
have surrounded them, but do not dare
to make another attack. Apparently
they hope to starve out those who have
taken refuge there.

confidence in the wisdom Of the legisla-

rates are a potent factor in production
and business activity and for the purpose
of further equalizing and further lower
ing the rates of interest, we favor such
monetary legislation as will enable the
varying needs of the season and of all &c.
tions to be promptly met in order that
trade may be evenly sustained, labor
steadily employed and commerce en-
larged. The volume Of money in circula-
ton was never SO great per capita as it is
today.

the free and unlimited coinage of silver

TICKET NOMINATED
M'klNlEY AND ROOSEVELT NAMED
BY THE REPUBLICANS,

Both Men Nominated by Unanimous
Vote Of the Delegates Amid Great En-
thusiasm-Platform Endorses tho Ad-
ministration, Declares for the Gold
Standard and Denounces Trusts.
PHILADELPHIA, June 2l.-President
Mckinley was unanimously renomi-
mated for preeident of the United States
by the Republican national convention
at 1:48 o'clock, and an hour and ten
minutes later Governor Theodore
Roosevelt of New York was unani-
mously selected to stand beside him in
the coming battle. The scenes attend
ing the selections were tumultuous.
Such unanimous demonstrations in
honor of the nominees of national
convention nave never been equaled,
perhaps. in the history of politics in
this country.
The Mckinley nominating speech
was made by Senator Foraker and Sec
onded by Governor Roosevelt of New
York, Governor Mount of Indiana and
others. The roll call of states was then
proceeded with and the unanimous vote
of the convention cast for William Nc
Kinley.
Vice President Nominated.
When Chairman Lodge made the an
nouncement that the president had
been renominated for the term begin
ming March 4, 1901, there was the same
wild storm which had been raised by
Foraker, and when it was over Roose-
velt's nomination for the vice presi-
dency evoked a succession of similar
demonstrations. LATE Young of Iowa,
who was with Roosevelt in Cuba, nomi-
mated him on behalf of the state which
had originally come to Philadelphia for
Deliver. His nomination was seconded
by Delegate Murray of Secretary Longs
state and Delegate Ashton Of Washing
ton, who came here for Bartlett Trip.
Chauncey Depew wound up the oratory
on behalf of the state which declared
for Woodruff. When the vote was
taken the full strength of the conven-
ton was cast for Roosevelt for second
place.
The first two days Of the convention
were occupied in organization and the
adoption of a platform. Senator VOL
colt was selected for temporary chair
man and Senator Lodge for permanent
chairman

SITUATION is WORSE
PERIL or THE INTERNATIONAL
FORCES INCREASING.

Pekin Has Not Been Heard From Directly
for Two Weeks Nor Admiral SEYMOUR
Column for Twelve Days-Observers on
the Spot Say That Hundred Thousand
Troops Are Needed to Do tho Work.
LONDON, June 25.-The position of
the international forces in Northern
China, where 10000 men are striving to
keep footing to succor the legations in
Pekin appears to increase in peril with
every fresh dispatch. Pekin has not
been heard from direct for IA
days. The last dispatch was imploring
aid. Admiral Seymour's column Of
1900 was last heard from 10 days ago.
At that time it was surrounded mid
way between Pekin and Tien Tsin.
Possibly now it has reached Pekin.
The 5000 internationals at Tien Tsin
were hard pressed and fighting for their
lives on Thursday, and a relieving
force of less than 1000 had been beaten
back to Taku Friday. Observers on
the spot think that 100, 900 men would
not be too many to grasp China firmly.
The guns of the Chinese around lien
Tsin
Are Superior to Anything
the defending European force has or is
likely to have for some time.
1t is reported from Shanghai that the
allied forces have blown up the Taku
forts, and that every available man had
been sent to the relief Of Tien Tsin.
Twenty three hundred Chinese bodies
are alleged to have been cremated at
Taku and more than 1000 Chinese are
said to have been killed at Tien Tsin.
Practically the whole of Northern
China is ablaze. Some of the special
dispatches from Shanghai describe the
great Southern provinces Of China aa
still quiet, but others assert that the
news from the North is exciting the
Southerners to a dangerous height OF
feeling and that millions may rise
any day.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-06-05

THE people," q vast. unknown and
Heterogeneous mass in the perview OF
the politician, are expected to accept
this open bit of play-acting as proof
that the Republican party is. in good
faith, hostile to trusts.
This is a most strange view for men
VINO are supposed to be practical pollti-
clans. 1t suggests that after all. the
politician really knows very little of the
people. and that he is guided in his ac-
tions by n ridiculous estimate OF popular
intelligence; that he learns slowly;
that the most tremendously significant
fact of the last half century has cscap-
ed him. and in consequence, he goes OH
repeating the stale tricks that were eff
fective n half century ago. when the
great mass of voters depended on the
stump speaker for information of public
events and the elucida ton of party poll
cies.
The situation to-day is vastly differ
emit The Republican member of Con-
gress who vainly fances that he has
INDUCED In a shrewd political play, will
go home to face n constituency that
know as well what he was about, as he
street: they are "onto" him. The news
papers have exposed the whole scheme
even before the last farcical move was
made. 1t has been turned inside out,
analyized, discussed and threshed over
from every conceivable point of view
and nine men out OF ten have already
made up their minds. and nothing the
returned Statesman can say will change
them.
The truth Is, that there is a prodigious
waste of time, breath and public funds
in the playing OF utterly futile politics
at every session of Congress. 1t is u
poor compliment to the acumen of the
American politician. The voters of this
country may be divided into two
classes-thoee who will vote their party
tickets, regardless; of circumstances. and
the "noaters." The latter comprise the
voters who quietly make up their own
minds which party they will support
and the venal voters who may be
bought. The "noatcrs," of course, de-
eide every election. Will the intelligent
element of this independent vote be
taken in by the Republican antitrust
play? The supposi;ion is ridiculous
THE venal element is open only To the
argument OF the campaign barrel.
In this day and time, political parties
are judged by what they accomplish,
not by what they pretend to want to ac-
ccmplish. That is the test to which the
Republican party Will be subjected on
the trust issue, and it can not meet it,
