London, June %, a. m.-The position
of the international forces in the sec
ton of northern China where 1000 men
are striving to keep a footing and to
succor the legations in Pelin, appears
to increase in peril with every fresh
dispatch.
Pekin has not been heard from direct
for fourteen days. The last dispatch
was one imDloring aid.
Admiral SeymOur's column of 1900
was last heard from twelve days ago.
At the time it was surrounded midway
between Pekin and lien Tsin. Possibly
nov It has reached Pekin.
The 5000 internatiOnals at Tien Tsia
were hard pressed and fighting for
their lives on Thursday, and a reliev-
ing force of less than 1000 had been
beaten back TO Taku Friday. Observ-
ers on the spot think that 100, 900 men
would not be too many TO grasp China
firmly.
The admiralty has received the fol-
lowing from the British rear admiral
at Taku:
che Foo, June 23.-Oniy one runner
has got through from Tien Tsin for
five days No information could be OBJ
tanned except that the foreign settle
ment had been almost entirely de-
strOyed. and that our people were fight
ing hard.
News is received as this telegram is
dispatched that an attempt 20 relieve
Tien Tsin on June y was repulsed with
some loss"
The telegram also said: THE allied
admirals are working in perfect accord,
with the Russian vice admiral as senior
officer
Foreigners in Desperate Fix.
A press message from Shanghai,
dated yesterday at p. m. embOdies
some later information. It says;
Official japanese kilograms confirm

forces at Tien Tsin. The foreigners
there are now placed in a most desper-
ate situation.
THE Russian Admiral Hillebrad yes
teTday sent a mixed force of 1000 from
Taku to attempt the relief of Tien Tsin

japanese. The remainder was made up

for the denomination of President Nc
Kinley and the selection of q man for
vice president who is in sympathy with
them. Pretty nearly every great com

is directly represented among the dele
gates Of the various states.
The most active agents of the trusts
who are to man working for Presi-
dent Mckinley and the adoption of a
beneficial platform by the convention
are politicians who control the republi-
canmachinery Of their respective states.
Some OF them are members of the Uni
ted States senate. Others are in the
lower house Of congress, and a great
number are political bosses of their
states. From competent authority the

isn't the worst sort of Chinese puzzle
pray what is it?

Republicans are condemning their
own management of Cuban affairs by
widely advertising the fact that since
the exposure of Wholesale stealing of
Cuban funds by republican officials,
there have been reductions in the salary
list in Havana alone which will result
in a saving of 81, 200, 900 a year. Such
an open acknowledgement of extravag-
ance and incompetency has seldom, il
ever, been made by an American adj
ministration.

This government seems to be getting
tangled up in that Chinese puzzle.
Secretary Hay says we are not at war
with China, and all the diplomatic rep
sentatives of the European nations say
the same for their governments, and
the Chinese minister says his govern
ment has not sanctioned any illtreat-
ment of foreign ers or any of the fight
ing that has taken place; that the whole
trouble is due to rioting, such as oc-
casionally occurs in every country.
The Chinese minister has also assured
Secretary Hay that he had received
official information that all foreign
ministers at Pekin, which has been cut
off from the coast cities for more than O
week, we're safe and we'll. Notwith-
standing all this, the administration
and the European governments are
proceeding as though we and they were
at war with China, and troops are be
ing hurriedly forwarded to form an al
lied army for the invasion of China,
and the allied troops nowon the ground
are fighting the Chinese. II all tina

Speaking of Cuban matters the re-
publicans on the senate committee,
charged with investigating receipts
and expenditures in Cuba, seem to
have accomplished their purpose OF
postponing the investigation until too
late for its finding to have any effect
on the presidential campaign, by the
agreement not to start the investigation
until furnished with statements from
the war, treasury and postoffice depart
ments showing the receipts and ex-
penditures in Cuba under each. OF
course, those departments claim to be
having those statements prepared as
fast as possible, but nobody seems to
know, or care to say, when they will be
ready. Senator Plat, of Connecticut,
chairman of the committee, when asked
when the committee would begin the
investigation said it could not begin
until furnished with those statements
which are to he made the basis of the
investigation. That leaves the admin
istration free to postpone or hasten the
beginning of the investigation, by hur'
rying or delaying the preparation o.
those statements.

MCKINLEY and Roosevelt

The Administration National Con-
vention at Philadelphia has finished
its work and n machine-made ticket
is presented to the country under the
republican name, Mr.. Mckinley as the
for president is the product
of three years of unremitting labor and
vigilance of the strongest and most af-
fluent political organization known to
the history of the United States. The.
lack of zeal in tho convention, the al
most listless manner in which the dele
gates ratified the edict of the command
or, was sufficient indication, had
there been nothing else, that Mr.. Nc
Kinley was not the sentimental choice
of the republican party of the country,
1t became impossible to resist the pow
er of the machine, So the opposition
to the President did not crystalline into
practical form. 1t only showed itself
in stolid submission to what the boss
influence had made inevitable.
Mr.. Hanna was right when he told
an interviewer, two or three days ago,
that the sentiment for Roosevelt for
Vice-president was manufactured. The
head of the ticket is an exhibition OF
the skill of Boss Hanna, and the man
in second place was named by Boss
Plat and Boss Quay. Mr., Plat felt
that it would be calamitous to his COM
mand, and destructive to republican
interests in his state, to risk Roosevelt
for reelection to the gubernatorial
chair. So, to get clear of him, itbecame
necessary to impose him on the nation.
