Martin, who signed the above dis
patch, is the Uniter States consul at
Chin Kiang.
Mr.. Martin is the United States con-
sui at Chin Kiang and his telegram is
the first news received here to indi-
cate the spread of the Boxer agita-
tion in that section of China. Chin
Kiang is one of the most important
treaty ports in China. 1t is located on
the Yang Use kiang, little over 100

the Hendwntcrs of Nuyewak Riv-
er, n Tributary of Bristol Bay.

Seattle, Wash. June 13.--A special
TO the Post-Intellig-ncer from South
Bend, Wash. says:
The steamer Rival came in from
Bristol Bay, on Behring sea, within
two days run of Cape Nome. Capt.
johnson had no Nome news except
that Bering sea was clear of ice al
ready,the season being ten weeks earli-
er than usual
He does not think any of the steam
ers now on the way to Nome win be
delayed by ice.
He reports the discovery of gold in
paying quantities on the headwaters
of Nuzegak river, a tributary of Bristol
bay. He was told of the discovery by
missionary there, but the news was
suppressed by the Alaska Packers as
sociation, which has eight canneries
on the bay. and thousands of men en-
gagged for the coming season, who
would stampede for the diggings if
the discovery was made known. While
there the Rival towed in 12 vessels
with men and supplies for the can
neries.

An official Boer telegram asserts that
the British have been defeated, with

ADOLPH PATTERSON.
TO DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
William II. Hearst. President of the
National Association, Issues
an Address.

Washington, May 31.-Mr. William
r. Hearst, president of the National
| Association of Democratic Clubs, had
a formal conference with the princi-
pal democratic leaders in Washington
at the Metropolitan hotel regarding
the plan of campaign to be followed
in the approaching presidential strug
gle. Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee; Rep
resentative Richardson, democratic
leader in the house, and chairman of
the congressional committee, Judge
Chauncey F. Black; Representative
Slayden and others were present. 1t
was agreed that the democratic ma
tional committee, the Association of
Democratic Clubs and the democratic
congressional campaign committee
should work in harmony. At the close
of the conference President Hearst is
sued the following:
ITO the Democratic Clubs and Societies
of the United States: Recent events in the
history of the United States point to the
approaching anniversary of the birthday
of the nation as a day that should be cele-
brated with special fervor this year. There
are those in the nation who seek to create
the impression that the American people
have outgrown their love for the just prin-
ciples of government expressed in the Dec
laration of independence and are ready to
surrender their moral leadership among
nations in order to crafty newly born in
stinct for imperial power, founded on
colonial system. All the democratic clubs
and societies are earnestly requested to as
semble on the Fourth of July. and all patri-
otic citizens, regardless OF past party affili-
ations, are urged to join with them in
new pledge of fidelity to the republic as the
fathers made il. Let the people of the
United States unite in their various cities,
towns and villages in demonstration of
the confidence they feel in the form of gov
ernment under which the nation has grown
to it's present greatness. The danger which
threatens the country is real and imminent.
1t seems appropriate, therefore, that citi-
zens who believe that the Declaration OF
| independence is not merely an academic
| document should meet together on this
day and give voice to the national senti-
ment that all men are created free and
equal and that there must be no subject
| colonies under the American flag.
| w. X. HEARST,
president of National Association of DEM
ocratic Clubs"

1t Formed the Principal Topic Of
Discussion at Tuesdays
Cabinet Meeting.
MINISTER COAGER's DISPATCHES READ.
The steps Taken to Reinforce Aamf-
raj kempn Gone Over--Decided to
stnnd by the Policy of Protecting
American Interests, Independents
1y. as Far ns Possible.

Washington, June 13.-The cabinet
meeting was attended by Secretaries
Hay, Hitchcock, Long and Gage, and
Postmaster-General Smith. 1t was de-
voted largely to a discussion of the
Chinese situation. Secretary Hay laid
before the cabinet dispatches from
Minister Conger, which indicated that
the situation is very critical. Secre-
tary Long had no late dispatches. The
steps that have been taken to rein
force Admiral Kempff were gone over,
and it was decided to stand by the
policy which has been entered upon
of pushing measures for the protec-
tion of the lives and property of Amer
lean citizens, and of acting independ-
emily as far as possible.
May Have to Act in Unison.
1t may be that in the accomplish
ment of this result, the forces of the
powers will have to act in unison Tor
the protection of all foreign residents
in the disturbed districts, but this is
to be the extent of the American ac-
tivity. 1t is to be confined solely to
the protection and safeguarding of our
own interests and those of our citizens.
The Chinese government will be looked
to, under the general laws of the COM
ity of nations, to restore order and to
make such reparation as is proper.
From all political schemes in which
any the powers may become involved,
the United States is to hold aloof
This is the general policy heretofore
outlined, and it will be adhered to.
Admiral kempn Informed.
The navy department has cabled di-
rectly to Rear-Admiral Kempff at
Taku, to inform him that marine rein
forcements have been ordered to him
from Manila. Thus the admiral will
be in a position TO act with greater
freedom in sending relief expeditions
to Pekin and elsewhere, knowing tha.
he will soon be able to replace the
marines diverted from Taku,

danger of Republicans.

1t is felt at the white house and the
Hanna headquarters that if the repub
lie is not in danger, the republican
party is. The whole crown colonial sys-
tenn is menaced by the Cuban expos
ures. The loot, if not the bread of pro-
consuls, tetrarchs, centurions, tax
farmers and an army of smaller fry
is in peril. How will all these favored
and fattened ones be able to pay their
political assessments if they are not
sustained and protected in the enjoy
ment Of their ample and prearranged
opportunities? This is problem
in long division which is causing head
ache and horror in the highest party

How the Requests of the Street
Railway Men of Cincinnati
Were Met.
AMIcABLE SETTLEMENT OF GRIEVANCES
The Employees Requested Better
Hours and More Pny-Tbe Com
pnny Took the Matter Under Ad-
visement and the Result Is that
Company and Men arc Satisfied.

Cincinnati, June l3.-The amicable
adjustment of the question of hours
between the Cincinnati Street Railway
Co. and its employees is quite in con-
trast to the conditions prevailing in
st. Louis just now. There has been no
strike, but the employees requested bet
ter hours and more pay for their labor.
The company took up these requests
i'll business-like way, and an AMIGA
BILE adjustment has been made. The
concessions made come in the nature
of u surprise TO the men, who have at
all times acted with discretion and
have earned the respect Of President
Kilgour and his board of directors by
their judicious behavior. Recently Mr..
Kilgour has been sending for the lead
ing conductors and motorn,en of the
various lines and offered them two
propositions, either of which he said
would be satisfactory to the company.
I he first was ten-hour an-a-half
straight work day, without any relief
for meals. at the same pay as for -
hours-$2 a day.
The second proposition was an elev-
er-hour work day, with one-half hour
meal relief, at the same wages-$2 a
day.
Out of these propositions an agree
ment grew, the terms of which are
given in the following circular, issued
by the company to its emplo yes, and
which has been accepted by the men:
'The Cincinnati Street Railway Co..
after carefully looking over its busi-
ness for the past fiscal year, terminal
ing June 30, 1900, and comparing it
with the year 1899, is satisfied that it
can, in justice to all parties in interest,
make an increase to it's conductors and
motormen in the matter of compensa-
ton. This increase will be in the form
a reduction of time of the working
hours. Whereas heretofore, and at the
present, the working hours have been
II hours per day, and compensation
16 2-3 cents per hour, with relief in
the middle of the day for dinner. and
III the evening Tor supper, from and
after June 90, 1900. the number OF
hours will be reduced to 1917 hours
making the compensation 10 cents per
hour

Will let the Philippines alone and di-
rect the president to pursue any policy
he chooses. The republicans are so
thoroughly scared over the Cuban rot
tenness that they dread any mention
Of the Philippines. The scandals are
much greater there, but the adminisI-
tration hopes to censor everything un-
til after election.
Hannnis Campaign Fund.
Mark Hanna's campaign fund is by
no means as large as he desires The
various interests which he assessed so
successfully four years ago are very
slow in contributing this time. So the
republicans instead of boasting of their
25,0o0,000 campaign fund as they did
few weeks ago, are talking of cam
paign OF education That is a pleas
ant euphemism for a campaign of mis-
representation. But even that takes
lot of money. And the congressman
who voted for the Porto Rico bill and
otheradministration iniquities, under a
promise of big campaign fund, are
very much disheartened over the pros
pect of facing indignant constituents
and trying to make q campaign on
principle. The democrats can do that,
but it is little difficult for the repub-
licans with the record of this congress
in evidence.
