GROWING IMPERIALISM.
What the Country Is Coming To Un-
der the Republican Adj
ministfatiOn.

The republican leaders seek to make
people believe that there is no such is
sue in this country as that of i'm
perialism, with it's adjunct or prop of
militarism.
They seek to suppress the fact that
the essence of Imperialism is not au-
tocracy at home, but the exercise of
dominion over alien peoples without
their consent and against their will.
This dominion over alien subjects
may be exercised by congress no
.ess really or extensively than by an
emperor. The Objectionable thing is
the exercise of arbitrary power over
conquered subjects rather than the
agency through which that power is
exercised. The Objectionable thing, in
short, is imperialism rather than an
Emperor.
Where there is Imperialism an en-
oeror is pretty sure to appear. Rome
vas imperial while it was still repub-
lie, but the emperor followed imperial
SIN as a natural sequel.
Those who will open their eyes can
lot fail to see the same tendency here
An empire with unwilling subjects can
only be held together by pinning it
with bayonets. Imperialism must be
packed by great army.
We have found that out already.
j. army is four times as large as it

The Porto Rico tariff will be an issue
second only to the overshadowing ques-
ton of Imperialism, throughout the
middle west. The policy pursued by
President Mckinley and the republic
cans in congress, in denial of justice
to the Porto Ricans, was particularly
offensive to large republican element
in that section. GermanAmerican SEN
timent in regard to Imperialism and
militarism will also contribute power
fully to democratic success in the mid
die west and northwestern states. The
nominate of Adlai E. Stevenson for
vice president will also be of great as
sistance in that section, as we'll as
throughout the country. "Mr. Steven
son." as the Chicago Chronicle well
says, sis democrat of democrats. He
is democrat whose name is intimately
associated with 40 years of splendid
democratic history, with democratic
struggles for principle and with ulti-
mate democratic triumphs. Mr.. Stew
enson is known to the democrats of this
country as democrat. He speaks
language which they understand. He
is grounded in the democratic faith.
He always was a democrat. He will
be a democrat to the last. Mr.. Steven
sons great strength with democrats
waslargely instrumental in carrying IL
linois, Indiana and Wisconsin for the
democratic national ticket in 1892. He
will not appeal to the democrats of
these states in vain this year."-Albany

THE SIGNS ARE RIGHT.
Good Indications That Illinois, Indl-
ana and Wisconsin Will Go
Democratic.

EX-President Harrison admits that
it will not surprise him should In
diana go democratic this fall This
admission, while it will amaze some
exuberant republican prophets, is in
line with the best information obtain
able as to the situation in the Hoosier
state. Those who, on the strength of
the 10000 Mckinley plurality of four
years ago, are asserting that Mr..
Bryan cannot carry Indiana" should
read and ponder what the independent
republican Indianapolis News says:
THE more that one knows of the situ-
alton in Indiana the less will one venture
to predict the result of the election next
November. And those people who are
saying so freely now, four months prior
to the election. that Mckinley Cor Bryan.
as the case may be- cannot carry Indiana
afford by these very assertions the best
proof that they do not know what they
are talking about. For the slightest in
vestigation will show them that there are
many uncertain elements in the prob
lem
Gen. Harrison, who knows the situ-
alton in Indiana better than most men
can know it. evidently believes that the
democrats have the better chance in
that state. This is most encoura ging
and hopeful sign. By general consent,
the battle will be fought in New York.
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. Michigan and
Wisconsin, each of which is regarded
as debatable ground.

THE MARCH ON PEKIN.
The Allied Forces, with Gen. Chaffee In
Command. Only Thirty-Six Miles from
the Chinese Capital

Washington, Aug. 14.-The Ameri-
can commander in China, in dis
patch of just three words received at
the war department late yesterday
afternoon, sent thrill of exultation
and expectancy throughout official
quarters by announcing his arrival at
Ho-Si-Wu, only SO miles from Pekin,
last Thursday. The last heard from
him before this was at Yang Tsun,
which had been captured after hard
fight, and word of his movements
since then had been eagerly awaited.
Thursday he was IS miles beyond
Yang Tsun. Lang Fang, the place
where the Inflated Seymour expedi-
ton met it's fate and turned bacls
had been left behind. The battle OF
Yang Tsun was fought on the 5th.
and the advance to Ho-Si-Wu was ac-
complished on the 9th-a march of
Is miles in three days. This was
four days ago, and at the same ratio
of progress, Chaffee is even now fair
ly within striking distance of tho
walls of Pekin. 1t was a consumma-
ton which the war department had
awaited calmly and, stirring as the
news was that the American force
was now nearing the gates of the inn
perial city. Secretary Root and Adjt.
Gen. Corbin evinced no surprise, as it
accorded with calculations.
Shortly after this dispatch arrived
another message from Gen. Chaffee,
far more lengthy, gave the mel
ancholy result of the fighting at
Yang Tsun. The casualty list was
given in detail, with the additional in
formation that the head had eeen
buried at Yang Tsun, and thas che
wounded had been sent back to IT,
hospital at Tien Tsin-

FEAR A MASSACRE.
British Minister Reports the Situa-
ton in Pekin as Desperate.
Owing to q Deplorable Biunder at the TAX
ing of Yang Tsun the Americans Were
SheIIed by the Russian and
British soldiers.

London, Aug. 14.-The British con-
sui at Canton says the Daily Iele-
graphs correspondent there has re-
ceived the following message dated
August 6, from Sir Claude MacDon-
aid, British minister in Pekin: "Our
situation here is desperate. In ten
days our food supply will be at an
end. Unless we are relieved gem
eraI massacre is probable. The Chi
nese offer to escort us to Tien Isln,
but, remembering Cawnpore, we re-
fused the offer. There are over 200
European women and children in this
legation
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express, writing yesterday,
says: 1.-The allies, at noon Saturday,
were within 20 miles of Pekin."
A Yang Tsun dispatch dated Au-
gust z, giving details regarding the
capture of that place, says: ''The
Russians and French held the left,
the British the left center, the Ameri-
cans the right center and the jap
anese the extreme right. The Brit
ish and Americans advanced on the
Village dG d IdCC IOl C,OOO y Nus
under a severe shell and rifle fire. The
Russians opened and the British
American advance became a race for
positions, eliminating in a brilliant
charge. The heaviest loss of the day
was sustained by the Americans, the
Fourteenth infantry having nine
killed, GO wounded and several miss
ing. The Bengal lancefs unsuccess-
fully attempted to cut off the Chinese
retreat"
Another Yang Tsun special says:
"Owing to a mistake, British and
Russian guns shelled the Fourteenth
United States infantry during the
night, wounding ten"
Commenting upon this occurrence
the Standard says: cit is melancholy
to learn that the losses of the Amer
leans, who seem to have borne them
selves with conspicuous gallantry,
were increased by deplorable error,
in consequence of which one of their
regiments was pounded by Russian
and British cannon. The incident en-
phasizes the necessity of that close
cooperation which is not easily OBJ
tainable without single commander
and a general staff
The New York Worlds Account.
New York, Aug. IA special cable
dispatch to the Evening World to-day
dated Che Foo, August 0, via Shang-
hal, says:
"a terrible mistake occurred at tho
taking of Yang Tsun. Russian ar
tillery opened fire on the American
troops. Before the mistake was dis
covered many American soldiers had
been killed or wounded by the Russian
shells.
'The Fourteenth took part in the
attack on the Chinese trenches. AS
the Chinese fled the regiment entered
and occupied one of the Chinese po-
sitions.
"a Russian battery some distance
off did not notice the movement. 1t
opened fire on the position and plant
ed shells among the American troops.
The Russians were quickly notified
and ceased their fire.
