MCMILLAN vEasUs PINGREE.
Senator'S Friends Making n sCnrefnl Fight
for the Legislature.

Detroit, June 20.-Although Senator
Mcmillan is understood to have and
probably will continue to have pretty
nearly the unanimous backing of the
Republican party for another term, he
is not going to trust too much in the
star that secured for him unanimous
election in 1883 and unanimous re-
election in 1894.
The men in Michigan who in his ap-
sence are arranging things for his re-
election have agreed that no Republic
an must be nominated who cannot be
depended on to vote for the senator
They are going to see to it that no man
is nominated for either the house or the
senate that Pingree would be likely to
influence ia vote against Senator Nc
Milldh.

~ ton at Dublin.
Dublin, June 20-The Nationalist
convention opened under the presiden-
cy of John Redmond, chairman of the
united Irish parliamentary party, and
was largely attended. Many Roman
Catholic clergy were present, but the
Healyites were absent. Mr.. Redmond
said it was the most representative as
sembly of Irishmen since the union.
No attacks. he added, would be per-
mitted ON their absent brother Nation
alists, but the hand of fellowship was
held out to every one willing to work
on their lines.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
there was no longer anything to pre-
vent the NatiOnalsts from reuniting,
pledging Mr.. Redmond their unflinch-
ing support and asserting that the first
object was to secure independence for
Ireland as nation.

Story That Came to Washington.
Washington, June 19.-Actual news
Of the situation in China was received
by the navy department yesterday in
two cablegrams, the contents Of which
were made known as follows: "The
department has received a cablegram
from Admiral Remey, at Cavite, dated
June Is, that informs the department
that Commander Tausslg cables that
the Taku forts at the mouth Of the
river Pei fired on the foreign gun YES
sells and later surrendered to the allied
forces on the morning of the 18th.
There was also one from Taussig
commanding the Yorktown, stating
that the British admiral was at Tien
Tsin.l The department instructed Adj
miral Kempff to consult with the other
powers in taking all steps necessary to
protect all American interests"
Gives Kempff Ample Power.
1t is explained that in the opinion OF
the authorities this order conferred
upon Admiral Kempff ample power to
seize forts, to fight, or to do anything,
in fact. on the sole condition that in
his judgment his acts should tend to
the protection of American interests.
1t was learned at the British embassy
that there were two British admirals
In the Pei river Pei-Ho)-Admiral Sey-
mour and Admiral Bruce. Therefore
Taussig's reference to the arrival Of the
British admiral at Tien Tsin does not
mean necessarily that Seymour has re-
turned with his foreign column.

Wants-Details of the Engagement.
London. June 19.-China declared
war against the world when the Taku
forts opened fire upon the information
al fleet. The accounts of what took
place are still unsatisfactory. The un-
official narratives coming by way Of
Shanghai vary widely and bear inter-
nal evidence of suplementing the main
facts with guesswork, One dispatch
says that the Yorktown participated
in the bombardment. Another asserts
that American marines formed part Of
the storming force of 1000.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Che Foo, dated yesterday afternoon,
says: "The forts on both sides of Taku
are now occupied. The Chinese opened
fire Unexpectedly. The casualties to
the mixed force were as follows:
1; French, I. .WOunded-British, 4;
German, Z; Russian, 4; French, 1. Chi
nese tOpedo boats were seized"
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily Mail, telegraphing yesterday,
says: "The forts began firing in observ-
ance Of orders from Picking conveyed
in a personal edict Of the empress
dowager by advice of Kang vi (presi-
dent Of the ministry of war;. Several
warships were struck by shells from
the 12-inch guns of the forts. The
heavy Russian losses were due to the
blowing up Of the magazine at Mands-
hur. Four hundred Chinese are report
ed to have been killed. The Chinese
when retreating fell into the hands Of

The Daily News has the following
from Che Foo: 1.-TWO OF the forts were
blown up: The thirty-two warships at
