Corrupt Politics.

Political Life.

element of the Republican party is ut
terly disgusted with the action Of the
Ohio delegation in elccting George b.
Cox, of Cincinnati, as the Ohio men,
Der of the National Republican COM
mittee against their protests, and the
opinion prevails that it will cost the
party many votes in Ohio this fall.
Supt. p. A. Baker, of the Anti-Saloon
League, gave out the following state
mcnt yesterday afternoon:
The foreordinance, not election, of
George Cox as committeeman is n
disgrace to the Republican party and
an insult to the whole state of Ohio.
He represents the very worst in social
ana p0llt1c3l life. III ne STOOD lOr clcc-
ton to Office he could not secure one
third Of the votes in Hamilton county
even, and not onc-tcnth in the state,
vet for four years he Is to represent
the clan. Christian manhood of the
party in the National committee ana
use the prestige thus given him 10
further corrupt Ohio politics.
There are some things that make
one feel that a party which can sur
vive such things as these is Il divine

London, June 20.--(Spl)--A despatch
from Shanghai says the British flag
was flying yesterday over the south
gate Of Pekin. This report was print
ed in Shanghai in ho organ of shang,
director of railways.
This means, it is believed here. that
the international relief force under
Admiral Seymour has reached the Chi
nese capital.
Another report from Shanghai says
that the Russian relief column reached
Peliin on Saturday and at once at.
tackled the city on two sides with a
large force of artillery.
Twelve hundred American soldiers
have reached Taku on the transport
Thomas. They were bound for Manila,
but when they reached Kagasaki they
were sent Immediately To China.
The despatch in regard to the Rus.
sim attack on Pekin says:
"rhe force apparently arrived In the
nick Of time, for the Chinese report
that the attack upon the legations had
been successfully renewed. On Fri
day night the Chinese troops under
| Generals Tung Fuh Slang aud Tuns
Ching attacked tic legations and set
on fire five buildings.
Nothing definite Is known
as to the result, except
that the Chinese, Infatuated by the do
struction of Taku, have since mas
sacred all the foreigners"
4 modified version of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French
as well ms the German minister has
been killed.
Chinese officials here assert that
they have news from Pekin up to Sun,
day, The situation then was very seri'
Gus, Beyond that they claim to have
received nothing, but they deny that
dispatches have heen withhold. Al
though am not willing TO adopt the
alarmist reports, my impression, gath
cred from the consuls and the Chinese
authorities, is that the worst Is to be
feared in Pekin.'
The Shanghai correspondent OF the
Daily Express says he is officially in
formed that Japan is moblizing 25,00t
men for immediate transport.

WHITE FLAG INCIDENT.
STEYN DENIES LORD ROBERTS
CHARGE.
Intimates That Dum-Dum and other
Lager Came From British Army.

LONDON March 2O.-7:2O p. M.-The
following dispatch has been received at
the War Office from Lord Roberts,
dated Bloemfontein, Monday, March
10Th.
Il have received the following reply
to my cablegram of March 18th to the
Presidents of the Free State and South
African Republic:
Your excellency's telegram reached
L. yesterday. l assure you nothing
would grieve me more than that my
burghers should make themselves
guilty of a deed such as that laid to
their charge by you. | am, however,
glad to say that you must have been
mistaken. l have made personal in
qUiry of General Delarey, who was in
command of our burghers at the place
mentioned by you. He denies entirely
that our burghers acted as stated by
you, but he says that on Saturday, the
date being illegible, the British troops,
when they were about fifty yards from
our position, put up their hands, as
well as a white fac. whilst at the same
time your cannon bombarded the said
troops. with the result that Command
ant de Beer was wounded. Yesterday
morning the head commandant wrote
in his account of the battle as follows:
THE soldiers hoisted the white flag,
but we were then fired at by the Eng
lish cannOrs and compelled to charge
"'Perhaps it is not known to your
eXcellency that the same thing happen
ed at Spion Kop, where, when a por-
ton of the troops hoisted a white flag
and put up their hands. and whilst our
burghers We're busy disarming them
another portion of the troops fired on
our burghers; but some of the British
troops were killed. 1t has also been re-
ported that at the last battle of the
Tugela English cannon fired on troops
who had surrendered.
with reference to the explosive bull
let's found in Cronje's lager and else
where. I can give your excelency as
surance that such bullets We're not pur-
chased or allowed by the Government.
]. however have no reason to doubt
your statement. as I know many of
the burghcrs of this state and of the
South African Republic took a large
number of Lee-Metford rifles and dunn
dunn and other bullets from British
troops.
MAY 7 request your excellency, as
reply known to your Government and
the neutral powers bv cable.
" STATE PRESIDENT
The dispatch from Lord Roberts con-
cludes as follows:
"As the inquiry into the matter
proves his honor's allegations to be I'M
founded, and as I personally saw the
holding up of hand which he denies. I
have not thought It desirable to con-
! tinue the correspondence"
| LONDON March 21-Steyn's reply
to Lord Roberts. charging the misuse
Of the flag of truce. is commented upon
| as impertinent and ridiculous and
! ord Roberts course in closing a USE
less discussion is commended as wise.
