The Chinese Situation.

London June 18.-Reliable news con-
corning the state OF affairs reported in
Pekin Is still wanting and the continued
silence increases the apprehension. A
Shanghi dispatch today says it is report
ed at Obi Flu on the San Tung peninsula,
that the legations at Pekin shave been
taken". This may De another version of
their destruction. The one reassuring
note 10 the situation is sounded by a
dispatch from Pekin dated June IA
which reports the burning Of many
buildings In the capital and the murder
OF hundreds OF natives but which odds
that sit is believed no Europeans have
been injured" The hope is expressed
that the rumor Of the destruction of the
legations ia only an exaggerated account
of the occurrences recorded above. On
the other hand, dispatch from Pekin,
dated June Is. says that the German
minister has been captured.
The news from Manila that regiment
OF soldiers has been ordered to China is
received with satisfaction 10 London
though it causes considerable surprise.
The ordering OF land forces from the
Philippines is taken as an indication
that the Washington government per-
ceives its declared policy of non-inoper-
alton with the powers in China, beyond
common action of the relief of mission
aries, must be altered. Reliable reports
Say that division OF infantry number
ing 10. 900 men has been ordered to pro-
coed at once from South Africa to Taku.

Mr.. BowDEN said Mr.. Young was
legally and fairly elected to Congress
In the Norfolk, Virginia, district, but
Mr.. John Wise and the republican ma
iorlty in the U. s. House of Represent
atiyes said he was not, and Mr.. Young
was deprived of his seat. Mr.. Bowden
said the Organization" delegates to the
national republican convention from
the Norfolk district were elected, but
Mr.. John Wise and the "Kickers" said
they were not, and the organization
delegates were admitted. Mr.. John
Wise evidently has stronger pull on
the republican majority In Congress,
than on tho national republican COM
mittee.

MANY prominent democratic poiitic'
,aps have recently expressed them
selves as in favor OF nominating Mr.
German for Vice President on the dem
ocratic ticket and forcing him TO &C.
cept. Everybody knows he does mol
want the place, but the democrats re-
ferred to cay that If the convention
shall nominate him, he is too good a
member of his party and has its inter
este too much at heart, to oppose 1t
with his own inclinstioDs. Then, too,
they say that other democratic vice
Presidents have resigned in order to ac-
cept a sena orsbip, and that ne could
do likewise. They say that Bryan and
German could unite the party In all
sections Of the country, and would be as
popular in the North as in the South,
ard in the East as in the West. And
there ia wisdom in what they say.

THE indications now are that though
Governor Roosevelt does not want to
be President McKinley's running mate,
and that having said the President has
a sturgeon back, the latter has no par
uculsr fondness for him, the delegates
to the national republican convention
will nominate him, and that he, fearing,
in case his party be defeated, part of
the blame therefor would be laid upon
him if he should refuse to accept the
nomination, will, "for the sake of the
party" get in the traces and do all he
can to pull the lmperislistic wagon
over the corduroy road. With Mr..
Roosevelt, the tide has turned.

THE FACT that the republican
managers are already considering a
proposition to restrict Southern repre-
sentation both in Congress and In the
ELECTORAL college, should be sufficient Of
itself alone to make every democrat in
Virginia do all he can to assure the cleo
ton OF all the ten democratic representa-.
tives in this State. All were elected two
years ago, and such should be the case
next November; and, In the meantime,
nothing should be attempted or per-
