POPULISTS ISSUE ADDRESS
Gratified at the Harmony Existing Be-
 tween the Allied Parties

Chicago, August 1.-The executive com mittee of the Populists today decided to call meeting of the national committee of that party to be held here August 27. At that meeting the question of filling the vacancy on the Presidential ticket occasioned by MT. Towne's declination of the nomination for the Vice Presidency will be disposed of. The claim was made by some of the mem- bers that this action could be taken by the executive committee, but reference to the minutes of the proceedings of the Populist convention showed that the power to fill vacancies is vested only in the full National Committed. Eight out of ten of the mem- bers of the Executive Committee were pres ent.
 Senator Butler, chairman of the commit tee, was one of the absentees He made no explanation of his failure to attend and the other members are at loss to account for 1t.
 The committee issued the following ad- dress:
 Chicago, August 10 ITO the Members of the Peoples Party Greeting:
 .The Executive Committee of the Peo- ple's party takes this method of expressing to you its qualification on account of the absolute harmony which exists between the allied parties. There is no discord any where. On the contrary commendable spirit of rivalry exists between the Demo- crats, Populists and Silver Republicans as to who shall make the best record in SUD- port of the unrivalled leader, William J. Bryan.
 We have not felt authorized to fill the vacancy on our ticket occasioned by the declination of the Hon. Charles A. Towne, and have called the National Committee to meet in this city August 27, 1900.
 We trust there may be full attendance Of the committee. Meanwhile, rest assured | 'at TO di ,cord will grow out uf the Vice. Presidential situation

 This operation, however, resulted in his death. It was performed by Dr. Trever. Various reports have been circulated as to the disease from which the Lord Chief Jus tice suffered. According to some his malady was gastric disorder, while other reports were that he had a tumor in the stomach.
 Lord Russell suffered from gastric ca- tarrah The fact of his Illness was not generally known until it was announced Drs. Sir William Broadbent, Frederick Trever, Stephen Mackinzie and Samuel Herbert Habershon, 1t was decided that an operation was imperatively necessary. It was afterward said that the patient had stood the operation well, and that his strength was maintained.
 At o'clock last evening, however Lord Russell took turn for the worse soon be- came unconscious and passed away peace- fully at 3 a. m.
 The war office telegraphed the news of the chief justices death to his youngest son, Hon. Herbrand Joseph, who is at pres ent serving as a lieutenant of the Royal Artillery in South Africa The Hon. Charles Russell, another son of the de- ceased, is now in Canada.

COUNT WALDERSEE
H eWill Not Go to China via San Fran
 cisco

Berlin, Aug 10.-This evening the corres- pondent of the Associated Press had anoth- CT interview with Count Won Waldersee, who, although nearly 69 looks much young CT. His step is vigorous and springy. His hair is closely cropped, and an iron-gray moustache contrasts with a ruddy complex ion. He said
 Some thirty German officers will ac- company me. Yielding to potent reasons, gave up the idea of going to China by way of San Francisco. I shall start from Ger many on August 21, and expect to arrive at Shanghai on September p. There shall establish preliminary headquarters and complete my staff from the contingents of the other powers.
 "I am very glad to hear that my appoint ment has been received in the United States with approval You see (this was added smilingly) am half an American myself"
 On apparent authority 1t is said here to- day that news regarding the military move ments including the preparations for fur ther shipments of troops to China will be officially withheld so as not to betray the plan of campaign to China, including the Chinese diplomatists in Europe.
 However, a number of facts go to show that Germany is preparing further large shipn The Cologne Gazette in an inspired article admits that five thous- and additional troops will soon leave, al- though 1t says that at present some 15,Oo0 or 20, GOO have not been ordered to proceed.
 The semi-official Militaire Worchenblatt this evening says:
 According to present orders from the powers the middle of August will see al- together, 40,500 available troops with 162 guns in the province of Pc Chi Ii. By the end of September there will be 7S,OOO with 2S0 guns, not including the troops at Shanghai, Canton and Pekin.
 Russia now has 37,000 with 104 guns con centrated in Manchuria, and 105,000 more with 13S guns now forming for invasion
 Altogether 230000 men with 800 guns will be in China within six weeks; and 116 war vessels exclusive of 21 torpedo boats, are now watching the Chinese coast, of which 70 are in the Gulf of Pc Chi Li."

Between Parties Who Oppose the Pres-
 ent Administration

CARNEGIE TALKS
United States Should be Mediator in
 Chinese Trouble

London, August 10.-Andrew Carnegie sends to the Associated Press the follow ing statement regarding the situation, in there:
 "The refusal of the United States to participate in the attack upon the Taku tforts makes the Washington government the national mediator between China and European overnments, but Americas posi- ton may easily be forfeited by agreeing to joint action. The release of Minister Conger and demand for compensation for injuries incurred are duties incumbent upon the government; but the United States, in my opinion, should take no steps in conjunction with European powers. I take this view because each of those pow CTS has separate interests at heart
 Great Britain is going to land troops to protect Shanghai because she looks upon the Yang Tse Valley as her special prov ince Russia keeps her chief forces In Manchuria. The first aim of each of these powers is to safeguard her prospective do- main, and if the United States should be drawn into joint action with them the Washington government may even find itself pledged to go forward into a cam paign against China, which would be help less, or may ultimately see the powers at war with each other. To enter upon a contest with four hundred million China men might prove disastrous to the United States as a war against combination of European powers.
 "Our policy is clear. European nations attack China and quarrel about the division of Chinese territory. We remain friendly and await events"

and bulkhead plates, not face-hardened, the bid was also $40O in each instance or an aggregate of $460,00O for armor of this class. The bids for 600 tons of bolts and nuts was also A00 per ton in each instance. Each considered as whole, and if awarded the contract under it Krupp armor would be furnished
 Midyale Steele Company's Bid
 The bid of the Midvale Steel Company to furnish the total of 31, 900 tons of class "A'' armor at $43S ton, an aggregate of $13,- 47S,O0O, with no royalty charge to the gov- ernment. The upward scale for less than the aggregate amount is as follows: Twen- ty-hve thousand tons at $40; 10000 tons at SAP; 15,000 tons at $454; 10000 tons at $466; 5000 tons at $500; 4,500 tons at $530.
 The company makes conditional bid for class 'B' armor at the rate of S3S0 per ton provided it is awarded 20, GOO tons or more of class "A' armor, and further states that no award of less than 10000 tons will be considered. It makes a fiat bid of $327 per ton for the 600 tons of bolts and nuts
 Both the Bethlehem and Carnegie Com panies intimate that the companys will not allow the naval officers detailed on inspec- tion duty to watch the manufacture of the Krupp plates through the entire process. The companies claim that this was among the first on which the secrets of the pro- cess was purchased abroad.
 No action will be taken upon todays bids until the return of Secretary Long, when he will decide whether he will accept them or erect a government armor plant.

Chicago, Aug. 10-William J. Bryan will make no such extended speech h-making tour of the country this campaign as he did four years ago. He will make a number of speeches, but they will be all in connec- tion with special occasions, and not part of a general swinging around the circle
 That much was determined today during the talks which MT. Bryan had with the members of the executive committee of the Democratic national committee.

London, Aug. Il, a. m.-The morning papers express satisfaction at the latest developments in China. The average com ment is that China is now genuinely suing for peace through Ii Hung Chang.
 Dispatches printed this morning give de- tails of the taking of Yang Tsun. According to the Daily Mails correspondent the att tack was led by the Americans and British.
 The Chinese position consisted of seven lines of entrenchments The enemy fell back from one to another, until, driven from the last line, they fled toward Pekin, completely demoralized. The Chinese say they retreated because the British poured poison" into their troops This refers to the iyddite shells, which the Chinese then ex- perienced for the first time.
