General Uprising Against Foreigner
PrCbabIe-Unrest at Canton.

PrCbabIe-Unrest at Canton.
LONDON, June 81 S:45 a. ma French
phase of the ebullition in China is the
probability of immediate outbreaks in the
great southern provincial centers. The pop
ulace there is daily assuming a more hos
tile attitude towards foreigners. and the
latter perceive symptoms of general ris-
ing, especially at Marking. where. accord
ing to a dispatch to the Daily Express.
dated yesterday, Kang WI. one Of the
most truculent enemies of foreigners, has
arrived. by way of the Grand canal, armed
with full powers from the Empress to deal
with the southern provinces. The friendly
attitude of viceroy Liu Kun Yih towards
foreigners has brought him into disgrace
with Prince Tuan, president OF the Tsung-
Li-Yamen.
The unrest at Canton is described by
oispatch from that city to the Daily Tele-
graph, dated Monday, via Hong-Kong yes
terday. The dispatch says: 1T is feared
that we are on the eve of a scene of blood
shed and anarchy in the two Quangs, only
paralleled during the Tai-Ping rebellion.
The signs of murderous uprising are SO
manifest that wealthy Chinese are hurry
ing from Canton and vicinity, taking their
wives, families and valuables-
'Li Hung Chang has again been per-
cmptorily ordered to Peking. His enemies
declare that they will murder him before
he can reach there. His presence alone re-
strains the revolutionary elements here.
Flags and Red Girdles.' Knowing this.
Lis trusted officers sending their fami-
lies to Hong Kong. The viceroy himself
trusts the Americans in this crisis. He says
that they alone want no territory, and he
places himself Iargely-aImost unreservedly
jim their hands. At an important confer
ence to-day, he reiterated this statement.
All the missionaries have been notified of
the eminent peril through confidential run
ners They are leaving Canton hurriedly
and only a few are now here.
Commander Mclean. of the United
States steamer Don Juan d'Austria, is the
first here TO protect foreign interests. He
is capable and energetic and is reinforced
by her Majesty's steamer Redpole- Two
hundred foreign residents at Shameen are
armed
"The Canton population reaches 100000,
in addition to 10000 living on junks and
sampans (fat-bottomed river boats) Most
of these people are disaffected. and incen-

number OF the vlrulent.'

ready for immediate active service.
The news that the Ninth Infantry will
sail from Manila tomorrow for Taku was
received with pleasure at the War De-
partment. General Corbin said that the
regiment will compare favorably with any
similar organization sent by any of the
other foreign governments in China. The
Ninth has been recruited to it's fullest
possible limit Of 1407 men. and Is provided
with an ample supply of machine guns,
tents and complete field equipment It goes
to China prepared for active field serv-
ice and is thoroughly equipped in the mat
ter of transportation and subsistence sup
plies for long campaign. The regiment
is commanded by Colonel Liscum, one OF
the bravest and most discreet officers in
the army. The trip from Manila to Taku
will be made on the transports Logan and
Port Albert, the latter carrying trans
portation outfit and machine guns. The
vessels will proceed at their highest rate
of speed and are expected to reach the
Chinese port by next Monday or Tuesday

county. The ticket was not completed ow-
ing to a wrangie over allowing the vote of
Mississippi county to be cast by proxy
for state auditor. The race is so close that
Mississippi county casts the deciding vote.
Great confusion reigned and finally a
motion was carried adjourning the con-
vention until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Delegate ]. c. Parker. of Ouachita
county, offered a resolution instructing for
David B. Hill. of New York. for Vice

there were loud cries of yes and mo-"
the Hill contingent seeming to be in the
majority. Under the rules the resolution
was referred without debate 10 the COM

claim the reception accorded the resolution
by the convention insures its adoption to-
morrow.
The platform will favor reaffirmation of
the Chicago platform, oppose imperialism

URGING TOwNE's NOMINATION.
Populists Trying To Influence Demo-
cratic DELEGATES.

cratic Delegates.
LINCOLN, Neb., June 26.-Vice Chair
man Edmisten. of the Populist national
committee to-day gave out the text of a
letter he Is sending to delegates to the
Democratic national convention. Mr.. Ed
misten strongly urges the nomination OF
Charles N. Towne for Vice President at
Kansas City and declares his selection es-
sential to complete harmony among the
the three parties. The letter says in part:
'If Mr.. Towne is named by the Demo-
cratic convention as their candidate for the
vice presidency it will be the selection of
one of the strongest citizens this Nation
has, and that act would furnish the posi-
tive assurance of the support of the
Peoples party and the Silver Republican
party for the ticket of Bryan and Towne.
To fail to do this is taking a course the
result Of which we do not know"
Mr.. Edmisten says Mr.. Towne would be
stronger In New York than Governor
Roosevelt He concludes: 1.-THE question
now is: What is the best? If it were true
we had but one party organization, then
all would be settled. If it were true that
the Democratic party could win alone then
1t would be useless to consider any other
proposition than for that party to make a
straight nomination. In the central West
there can be no doubt but Mr.. Towne will
be very strong as candidate, and will
assist in bringing much strength to the
ticket"

The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year. 1900 divorces were granted
IN the State of Ohio last year. We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem IS: Are those faults renedi-
able? To a great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result IN divorce may
be remedied. Given dyspeptic husband
and a wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made elements of
divorce case In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill. Women are not to
blame. They have looked forward to their
home life as a dream of paradise. Then
disease comes like a serpent and destroys
all happiness.
Women who suffer with debilitating
drains, Inflammation, liberation, female
trouble and bearing down pains, will find
certain relief and cure in Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It so invigorates
the organs peculiarly feminine and regn-
lates their functions that they are estab-
hshed in a perfectly healthy condition.
The old lightness of heart comes back;
there's light in the eyes and smile on the
lips. The old irritation and nervousness
are gone, and the husband comes to his
