LONDON, June 20. The information
from South Africa continues so unim-
portant that the afternoon newspapers
here are trying to make a sensation
out of General Ian Hamilton breaking
his collar bone by a fall from his horse
yesterday.
General Warren wires that the rebel
lion has been extinguished in the north
of Cape Colony, but he does not men
ton the capture or dispersal of the
considerable Boer force which has been
occupying that part of the country.
Interest mostly centers in the Orange
River colony, where General De Wet is
causing the British much annoyance.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived at the war Office from Lord Rob
erts:
Pretoria Presidency, June 25.-Clem-
ents successfully engaged a body of
Beers yesterday near Wynberg, where
he had gone to pick up supplies, and
some heavy guns, preparatory to act
ing in combination with columns from
Lindley, Hebron and Heidelberg. He
drove the enemy north of Sandspruit
with loss. NO casualties are reported.
Ian Hamilton reports that Heidel-
berg is the most English town he has
yet seen. The inhabitants gave him a
great reception. The streets were
crowded and decorated with bunting.
Captain Valentine hoisted the union
jack in the market square amidst the
cheers of the populace and of the Brit
ish, Australian and other colonial
troops.
God Save the Queen" was sung, the
crowd heartily joining in. The poor
royalists have had a rough time lately.

Chamberlain Holds the Same Views
as Secretary Hay Concerning the
Chinese Crisis.
LONDON, June 25.-Fhe Associated
Press learns that Lord Salisbury is still
hopeful that the Chinese crisis will be
solved without war against that coun-
try as a whole. In spite of the alarm
ing reports he inclines TO the belief that
the government of China in some salts
facteeM form will shortly be able to
reasser@itself. He does not NEAR that
he belittles the professions of the var
ious viceroys who have given notice
of their willingness 20 cooperate with
the United forces. Without commit
ting himself to a definite view of the
future, he appears averse to any pro-
ject of territorial indemnity, which,
when order is restored. might be sug-
gested by the powers who have suffered
during the uprising.
The interview of the United States
ambassador, Mr.. Joseph H. Choate.
with Lord Salisbury, Saturday, was due
to instructions received from Secretary
Hay, in which the ambassador was not
flied of the friendly professions of the
various v%ieeroys, and was instructed to
secure Lord Salisbury views. Beyond
casual conversation Mr.. Choate had
o mentioned the crisis in the far east
until he received Secretary Hays cable
message. The ambassador discovered
the British premier's views were exact
ly as frequently represented in these
dispatches. He maintained the belief
that the diplomats at Pekin had not
been massacred, and did not believe
they were likely TO be. He is eminent

Tien Tsin is so hard pressed that it
must be relieved before assistance can
be sent to Seymour's force. The alb
sence of the exact dates of the last dis
patch from Taku and other messages
makes it difficult to connect the va
rious stories, but some of the dispatch
es might be read as indicating that
ever the large force mentioned by Rear
Admiral Kempff was about to start to-
wards Tien Tsin has met the same fate
as the combined American and Rus
sian column which was repulsed June
21st.
India is sending eight battalions Of

LINCOLN, Neb., June 25.-W. J..
Bryan returned to-day from his Wis
consin fishing trip and will remain here
until after the Democratic national
convention. He said he had been
placed in a wrong position by some
n who had presumed to outline his
plan of campaign.
amy statement made by anybody
in regard to the campaign plans are
without foundation or authority" he
added. mo plans have been made by
me or by any one for me, and no plans
will be made till after the convention
has been held"
Mr.. Bryan was asked whether he
would say anything in regard to the
platform to be adopted at Kansas City.
He replied:
mo one, of course, can say what
language will be used in setting forth
the party principles. But some idea
can be obtained as to the general tenor
of the platform from the platforms
adopted in the State conventions. AS
a large majority of the delegates have
been elected by conventions which re-
affirm the Chicago platform, it is safe
to assume that the Kansas City plat
form will reafirm the Chicago plat
form and will contain nothing which
can be construed as a surrender or
modification of the platform IN the
old issues.
1T is equally certain that there will
be a strong and definite plank against
trusts. There is also no doubt that
the plank against Imperialism will be
clear and explicit. Militarism will be
denounced and sympathy expressed
for the Beers. This much is evident
from what has already taken place"
Asked if there was any truth in the
rumors that a Vice President will be
chosen whose views on the money
question will be attractive to those who
opposed the ticket in 1896 Mr.. Bryan
replied.
Il don't care to discuss the Vice
Presidency now. further than to say
that | assume that the candidate nomi-
mated for Vice President will be in
harmony with the platform. The Vice
President not only presides over the
Senate while the President is alive, blu.
assumes the Office of President in case
of the Presidents death, and it is hard
ly probable that delegates 20 a Nation
al Convention would write q national
platform and then select for either
place on the ticket 2 maj who would
repudiate the platform. No man
worthy to be considered for such an
Office would accept a nomination On a
platform repugnant to his views on any
important issue. In every campaign
men support a ticket without approx
ing all of the platform but no one can
defend a platform unless he believes
in it. Many tariff reform gold Demo-
Gratis supported the Republican ticket
four years ago, although they dissented
from the protection plank. But the
Republican convention would not have
nominated a tariff reformer upon
a protection platform. There is some
times a joint debate between candi-
dates on opposing tickets but not be-
tween candidates on the same ticket"

 Waterbury, Oct. 16.-There was one vacant place in the chain gang that came up from New Haven this morn- ing to answer before jury of their peers to various charges of violating the laws and peace of the common wealth. The place belonged to Freder- ick Barney, charged with the crime Of statutory burglary, in that on January, 1899, he, with one Lynch, broke into the box office of Polls theater and tsole $190. Lynch was arrested, told the whole story, duplicating Barney, and served a sentence of ten months in jail, Barney himself was located in the jail at Springfield and was brought to Connecticut on requisition after he had finished his term in Springfield. He was one of a chain gang of eight pris- onens brought up from the jail by Deputy Spencer this morning. At the station here he slipped the handcuffs from his hands, bolted from the car, ran behind a passing freight, and was last seen running back of the Connecticut Lighting and Power companys plant.
