Furniture Tax in France

French families have to pay what is
called a personal furniture tax, which
however, is misnomer, for man may
have $1,000 or $4,000 worth of furniture
in his house, but the tax will be the
same. 1t is regulated by the amount of
rent paid, families paying but $50 for
rent being exempt,

the American people as the Fourth of
July candidate. The scene gives promise
of being one of the most dramatic that
ever was seen in political convention
And then, according to programme
Mr.. Bryan is to be brought to Kansas
City by a special notification and es-
cort committee and he will deliver his
speech accepting the nomination in the
very hall in which his nomination was
made.
In the hope of witnessing this great
political scene thousands upon thous
ands of people are coming to Kansas
City from the nearby states. The de-
mand upon the rational committee for
seats in the convention hall is said to
be almost unprecedented. Tens of thou
sands of applications for tickets have
been received from Kansas, Nebraska,
Missouri and other transmississippi
states Quite naturally, 49 out of every
so of the applicants are doomed to dis
appointment. Each state has been as
signed its quota of seats and that is all
it will get. This city, the people of which
have done so much for the convention
has been allotted only 1,500 tickets. To-
day is a duplicate of yesterday as to the
weather. 1t is swelteringly hot. but the
intensity of the heat is tempered slight
ly by brisk SOUTH freeze. Indeed, if
it were not for the breeze, the heat on
the streets would be intolerable to any
body but a salamander.

ANARCHY I'M PEKIN.
True State of Affairs is Gradually
Being Understood.

New York, July "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says.
The presidents have again come to
the front and they have official dis
patches to confirm their fears. There
is no longer any reason to doubt that
the German minister was murdered in
Dutch and other legation houses have
been burned, and that the foreigners
have taken refuge in the British en-
bassy and are short of supplies, hard
pressed and reduced to great extremi
ties, while fighting still proceeds in Tten
Tsin. There has been a revolution in
PelSin, by which Prince Tuan has de-
throned the empress and emperor and
has made his son emperor The facts
about the revolution in the palace ara
still obscure, but it is evident that there
has been a state Of anarchy in the cap
ital, with 10000 soldiers fighting inside
the walls and as many outside and that
the legations are at the mercy of armed
mobS, who are bent upon destroying all
the foreigners. There are persistent ru-
mors that the allied forces have already
entered the capital, after defeating the
Chinese regulars and the boxers, but
these are apparently premature and are
based upon the occupation of T1en Tsin.
The tiGingS of the murder of the Ger
man minister have reached every for
eign office in Europe, and the gloOmiest
views are entertained in diplomatic cir
cles respecting the fate of the embas-
sizes Three dates are mentioned in con-
nection with the street attack upon the
minister and each is earlier than that
of Sir Robert Hart's dispatch, in which
no reference was made to 1t. The sec
retary of the German embassy cannot
have made any mistake respecting the
assassination of his chief and it is ad-
mitted with great reluctance that the
position of every embassy was critical
eight days ago. Men well Informed
doubt whether as many as a thousand
foreigners We're in Pe<in on June 26-
They assert that the number was prob
ably about 500, including the naval
guards Pekin was evidently in the
hands of uncomfortable mobs of sol
diers, and the deliverance of the lega-
tions, if it has been effected, will be lit
tie less than q. miracle.

Opponents of 16 to l Are Organizing

Kansas City, July although Mr..
Bryan stoutly maintains his position
and insists upon'16 to in the platform.
a determination has been reached by
those who are willing to accept a re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform to
make a fight for that position. With a
large portion of New York, all of Penn
sylYania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin in favor of a modification of
the platform, and with a number of
southern delegations willing to take the
same course, it is believed that a good
fight can be up against the 16 to 1 dec
laration. Conferences have been held
with that end in view. and if there
is any prospect of winning, the fight
will be made. An effort is being made
to ascertain the complexion of the COM
mittee on resolutions with the expressed
hope that conservative majority may
be secured.

Impression Growing That New Yorker
is Bryan's Choice.
Kansas City, July 3.-One of the most
significant happenings of the day in the
vice presidential situation occurred dur
ing the forenoon in the New York head
quarters and when it became known the
sentiment for the nomination of Elliott
DanfOrth took a more pronounced turn.
Mayor Mcguire of Syracuse, the New
York state silver leader and Treasurer
Hughes of the New York state commit
here this morning and came Immediate
ly to New York state headquarters
There they found Mr. Danforth chatting
ith his friends. Mr. Mcguire called
lliIn aside and said: Mr.. Danforth, If
you are a candidate for vice president
we are with you"
Mr.. DanfOrtha replied:
Il am not a canuIdate. All my de-
sires are, as you gentlemen know con-
fined to my own state. do not desire
to go to Washington and if nominated
and elected it win interfere with all my
plans. 1 am much obliged, but my high
est aspiration in politics is to serve my
party in my state"
Mr.. Mcguire: But if the people want
you, you can't decline"
Mr.. Danforth replied: mo, but don't
want it. You know what I want in New
York"
Mr. Mcguire: well, if the matter is
brought up in the New York delegation
this afternoon we shall vote for you"
The significance of this interview is
that Mr.. Mcguire is close to Mr.. Bryan
and has just returned from several days
visit, he may voice the wish of Mr..
Bryan, to have New York state repre-
sented on the ticket and by Mr.. Dan
forth.
Asked point blank by the Associated
Press representative if that was the
case Mr.. Mcguire said cautiously: Mr..
Bryan feels friendly toward Mr.. Dan
forth. He would not, 1 sure object
to his being on the ticket"
The Office in New York state to which
Mr.. Danforth admits being partial is
that of governor and it is believed he
would be a strong candidate there and
so help the national ticket that some of
the leaders do not favor forcing the vice
presidential nomination upon him.
AS the day wore on the impression
spread among the delegates that the
convention would nominate either Dan
forth or TOWne and that element which
felt that a Democrat should be named
were more strongly toward Danforth.
The men who have been in favor of
modified platform We're among those
who turned their attention toward a
New York man and who saw in Mr..
Danforth the most available candidate.
1t is understood that the southern dele
cations were very pronounced against
Towne and that some states had de-
clared for Danforth.
The TOWne men have started a can
vass of delegates and are trying to
make a poll of the different delegations
to ascertain the strength of the Mime
sofa candidate
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-07-03

seems now to have the most distinct
call for the nomination it can not be
disguised that many delegates want a
straight-out Democrat on the ticket
with Bryan. Likewise they are loolxing
to New York to furnish that candidate,
because they believe with a strong man
party will have an even chance to carry
the state and perhaps one or two other
eastern states. So prevalent is this be-
lief and so strong is the hold it has ta-
ken on the delegates during the past
few hours, that Mr.. Bryan who is
thought to favor Townes nomination.
may make a concession on the vice
presidential candidate even If he will
not on the platform.
The convention will be called to order
tomorrow at noon and unless present
plans are upset, William J. Bryan win
be nominated for the presidency at the
first session. He is to be presented to
