emperor of China of July %, 1900, and
enter into communication with the relief
expedition so that cooperation may be
secured between them for the liberation
of the legations, the protection of foreign
ers and the restoration of order. Such
action on the part Of the imperial govern
ment would be a satisfactory demonstra-
tion of its friendliness and desire to at
tain these ends"
The memorandum is signed by Alvey
A. Adee, acting secretary, and dated de-
partment of state, Washington, Aug. 8.
1900.
An important dispatch has been receiy-
ed in diplomatic quarters in Washington.
forwarded from the foreign office of one
of the powers taking part in the interna-
tional movement and giving with much
detail a conversation by Iii Hung Chang.
In which he expresses his despair over the
condition of the Chinese government and
his fears that the antiforcign element has
gained complete ascendency at Picking
The conversation was with the consul
of the power receiving the dispatch and
as he is an intimate friend of long stand
ng with Earl Ill the latter spoke unre-
seryedly OF the deploiable condition Of
affairs among his own people. The dis
patch as received in Washington is quite
lengthy and quotes Ii Hung Chang as
saying that he is satisfied that the con
selvative, or progressive element, to
which he belongs, no longer has any in
iiuence at Pokng.
The ascendency Of Ii Ping Heng, the
intense antiforeign leader is referred to,
and it is stated that it was due to his
that the two conservative
members Of the tsung Ii yamen were be-
headed. The names of the beheadcd
ministers are given in the dispatch as
1uen Chang and Hsie Chin Chang. This
.ast event appeared particularly to de-
press Ii Hung Chang, who regarded it
rs establishing that the progressive ele-
ment, favorable to the foreigners, could
expect no mercy. He even expressed the
belief that he would be among those to
suffer- He stated that although sum-
moned to Peking, he had asked for 20
lays delay on the ground that he was not
able to travel.
The substance of the foregoing dispatch
has been communicated to the state de-
partment. 1t is not strictly official, as
the conversation was to certain extent
confidential, but it none the less is con-
sidered as throwing light on the situa-
tion from the standpoint of the noted
Chinese statesman.

mayors and municipal officers of Rome
and Turin and deputations from all the
departmental bureaus of the government
! Just ahead of the casket were about 100
priests and 100 friars, including the court
chaplains.
In Royal State.
The gun carriage bearing the caskei
was drawn by six horses and was sur.
rounded by officers and functionaries OF
the civil and military houses of the royal
princes and of the late king. 1t was i'm.
medately preceded by the late kings first
general aid-de-camp, Avogadro des Con.
tes di Quinto, ON horseback, bearing the
sword of the late king.
On the right side of the casket walked
the president of the council of ministers,
Signor Saracco, the first vice president
of the senate and the chevalier annuncio.
On the left of the casket were the min
lister of foreign affairs the Marquis Wis
CONT Venosta, the president of the cham
ber Of deputies, Signor Villa, and former
Premier Crispi.
Behind the casket was the master of
ceremonies of the court, bearing wreath
of iron, and following him was King
Humbert's beautiful bay war horse,
which was great favorite with the de-
ceased. The horse was covered with
long black draping.
Bringing up the rear of the cortege
were the flags of the army with an hon
orary escort, several municipal and pro-
yincial deputations and finally squad
ron of cavalry.
When the head of the procession
reached the Pantheon an enormous crowd
occupied every available foot of space.
All the adjacent streets and the windows,
balconies and terraces in the vicinity
were also filed with the spectators. Not
whisper of conversation interrupted the
solemnity of the scene, the multitude re-
naming in respectful silence with un-
covered heads.
When the casket reached the Pantheon,
ten noncommissioned officers of cuiras-
siers lifted it from the gun carriage and
carried it into the church, where it was
received by Mgr. the Count of Reggie,
archbishop of Genoa, in his pontitical
robes, surrounded by the cathedral func-
tionaries. The casket was then raised
to the top of catafalque. surmounted by
wreath of fron,s and on were placed

Rome, Aug. 9.-With as much simple
1ty as the last rites to king would per-
init the remains of the late King Hum
bert of Italy received their last honors
and tributes from his loving country. The
casket containing the body, borne on a
gun carriage, preceded by his general aid
de-camp, carrying his sword, followed by
his favorite war horse and surrounded
by those who were closest to him in the
councils of state, was deposited after an
imposing ceremony in the Pantheon here.
The city was mass of somber decora-
tion, giving Rome the appearance Of be-
ing weighted down by deep grief and sOr-
row.
The casket containing the remains was
conveyed from the funeral train by ten
noncommissioned officers to the large
hall of the railroad station, which had
been transformed into a chapel and hung
with sable draperies with gold ornamen-
tation.
The first chaplain of the court, assist
ed by a number of priests, pronounced
the absolution, and the cortege started
for the Pantheon, where rest the remains
of King Victor Emmanuel ii. The i'm

10 HUGH Z. BROWNE,
Chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee of
Delaware.
SIR:-In the interest of Re-
publican unity in this State,
and by reason of the obligation
resting upon all loyal Republi-
cans to promote the welfare Of
the National Republican party
by the election in the ensuing
campaign of a Republican Presi-
dent and Of a Republican Con-
gress, am authorized and di-
rected by the State Committee
of the Union Republican Party
of Delaware to address to you
the following propositions and
to ask an early consideration
thereof:
That joint call by the chair
man of the respective Republi-
can organizations of this State
be issued for common primary
upon the basis OF equality of
representation in the thirty-fve
Legislative Districts:
That the delegates elected
under said call shall, when as
sembled, proceed to the election
of six delegates and six alter
mates to the National Republi-
can Convention, to be held in
the city of Philadelphia on June
10Th, 1000:
That each of the three counties
of this State shall have appor-
toned to them two delegates and
two alternates respectively and
that the said delegates and al
ternates thus apportioned shall
be chosen by the will of the ma
jority of the delegates from each
county:
That the said convention shall
at the time and place elect
State Central committee of fseven-
teep members, one from each
Senatorial District, the members
thereof to be chosen solely by
the delegates elect from the re-
spective Senatorial Districts and
that the committee thus chosen
shall be the sole Official State
Committee of the Republicans
of Delaware:
That the chairman of the
State Central Committee thus
created shall at the proper time
call convention for the purpose
of nominating three Presidential
Electors, a Representative in
Congress, and candidates for the
remainder Of the State ticket:
That nominations for Presi-
dental Electors shall be made
one from each county and

ton shall have the first choice
of all the nominations to be
made, the minority the first
choice of all the remainder; and
thus in an alternste manner
until all the nominations are
completed;
That the question of the cleo
ton of two Senators to the SEN
ate of the United States shall be
disposed of by the adoption of
one or the other of the two fol-
lowing propositions;
First: That each faction shall
have undisputed choice to the
election Of Senator.
Or, second: That the voters of
each Senatorial and Representa-
tive District shall, by a majority
rule, nominate their respective
legislative candidates; that loyal
support shall be given the same
by all Republicans without re-
gard to past factional divisions,
and that the whole question of
the election of Senators to the
Senate of the United States shall
be left to the Legislature itself
when assembled without prior
reciprocal obligations or pledges
of any kind upon the members
thereof as to their disposition Of
the matter:
That, if the foregoing propo-
sitions should seem to be unfair,
in that it is denied that the ma
jority of the Republicans of this
State are affiliated with the
Union Republican party, and
that the foregoing propositions
are therefore a covert attempt to
gain political advantage that
could not be had by an appeal to
the people, | am authorized and
directed to make a further propo-
sition:
That all the foregoing propo-
sitions be laid aside, that a COM
mon primary for delegates to
State Convention with equality
of representation in the several
Representative Districts under
the Constitution be held by the
Republican voters of this State,
and that ticket be nominated
by said convention solely by the
will of the majority, and if adj
verse to the Union Republican
party to pledge loyal support of
all Union Republicans to the
election of an entire ticket thus
nominated.

Splendid Bravery and Enthusiasm
of the Japnnese Soldiers

Victoria, b. c., Aug. 9.-Accounts of
the battle of Tien-tsin in Chinese papers
show that the Chinese made determined
resistance and fought from house to
house, making the last stand in fort at
the northeast corner of the native city.
They had a battery in the ruins of the
western arsenal, which sent well di-
rected fire into the attackers, who divid-
ed into two columns, the first composed
of British, Japanese and Americans and
the second of Germans. Russians and
French, with a flying column of Japa-
nese.
The first column took the western ar
scnal after three hours fighting, in which
there was a heavy loss in killed, Chinese
bodies being breast high in stockades.
The second column took the battery near
the railway embankmcnt with the bayo-
net i'll the face of Il heavy fire and, after
destroying the guns, took Il mud fort TO
the northeast of the ;ty despite per-

Read Union Republican Offer
of Jan. 10, that is Still
Open. Then Read This.
The offer OF the Republicans
to hold joint or common prim-
airy elections in New Castle
county for the selection of Re-
publican candidates has been
rejected by the Union Republi-
cans. This refusal came close
upon the announcement that
the Union Republican mama
gers had decided to name men
oftheir own arbitrary selection
for the three principal officers
to be voted for on the state
ticket. In spite of the promises
made the National Convention
in Philadelphia that the Repub
licans would elect their ticket
in the state, and the further
promise that every effort would
be made to bring about har-
mony of action on the part of
all Republicans i'm this state,
the Union Republican organi-
cation now stands in the atti-
tude OF an opponent of the Re-
publican party. Itstands as an
assassin, ready to stab the Re-
publican party of Delaware and
the party at large in the back.

while we would like to see
Republican success the arbi-
trary attitude of certain ele-
ment in the Union Republican
party which insists upon NAM
ing members of that party as
candidates for governor, con-
gressman and attorney-gen-
eral, the three principal State
offices. must absolutely defeat
that end. A proposition for

More stories Ahont Russians.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. "a remark
able story was brought by the steamer
Empress of Japan to the effect that a
number of Russian ex-officers and pri-
Yates from Siberia had Joined the ranks of
the Boxers and that having reason to
suspect the fidelity of their Chinese trans
port coolies, the Russians had killed 200
of the Chinese and then loaded their
bodies into a junk which they set on fire
and sent drifting down the Pei-Ho. The
story is published with some corrobo-
rative details in a number of oriental
papers. Many Chinese now aver that
Prince Tuan, the rebel emperor, is not a
member of the imperial clan at all. He is
supposed to be the son of the fifth Prince
Tuan, but it is known to many in Pelling
that he is a supposititious son, his mother
being a nurse in Prince Tuan's family.
BY colusion with Prince Tuan's wife
the child who is now Prince Tuan was
introduced as the princess son. Though
