MR.. HANNA WILL RETIRE
WILL NOT BE CHAIRMAN. OF THE
NEW NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Advisory Board of Astute Republican
Politicians to Manage the
Campaign This Fall.

CLEVELAND, o.. May 29.-The Leader
tomorrow will say: Events which will
come to pass between now and the close
of the Republican national convention will
prove the accuracy of the prediction that
Senator Hanna will not be the chairman
OF the new national committee. An adviso-
ry board consisting OF a small number of
most astute and able politicians of the
country will be. organized to act in con-
junction with the national executive COM
mittee in the management of the Repub-
lican campaign. Senator Hanna will be
member of this advisory board, and while
not bearing the great and heavy burdens
of national chairman. will be the most
conspicuous figure in the campaign
President Mckinley and a few OF Mr..
Hannas intimate political friends under
stand the senator's inclinations and inten-
tions. Instead of being field marshal, the
Ohio senator will act somewhat in the ca
pacity OF a commander-in-chief,l leaving 10
other generals much of the onerous work of
the fight. Ill health and business duties
lead the senator TO retire.
''Since Mr.. Mckinley has practically sat
isfied himself that his hope respecting Mr..
Hanna and the national chairmanship is
a futile one. he has begun TO deliberate
over the question of the iatter's successor
at the head OF the committee Who this
man will be is still to be determined That
Mr.. Hanna would be asked 10 head the new
committee there has not been the slightest
doubt. as a matter OF fact President Nc
Kinley has earnestly desired and still de-
sires him to do so.''

resources OF the Chinese government The
State Department has been in close COM
munication with Mr.. Conger. our minister
at Peking. and the 4.avy Department is
doing its share. having placed the flagship
Newark far up the Pei-Ho river as the
Taku forts, which is the nearest point 10
Peking that the ship can reach. The opera
tions of the Boxers are increasing in
magnitude. Their demonstrations are no
longer local. and they appear to be gov
erned in their movements by some we'll
settled design. They have murdered nine
Methodist missionaries in one province at
the town of Pa-Chow and have closed In on
Peking. Meanwhile the Chinese army is
suspected of disloyalty. this belief being
strengthened by wholesale desertions OF the
soldiers TO the Boxers"
Minister Conger has appealed TO the State
Department for the protection OF a marine
guard for his legation. The department has
promptly cabled him an authorization 10
call on the nearest United States naval
vessels for assistance. 1t is not known yet
whether he has availed himself of the per-
mission. The ship he would naturally look
to would be the Newark, and ii is assumed
that he has already communicated with
Admiral Kempf on board that flagship
The embarrassing feature of the situation
is the cutting of the communication by rail

According to report the Chinese govern
ment has done everything in its power TO
meet the demands of the diplomatic body
at Peking for the dispersion of the BOX
ers.' but il appears that the uprising is
far more serious than was at first appre-
hended, and even the resident ministers
at Peking are inclined to admit that the
task is not an easy one for the Chinese
government.
So far all the measures taken by the
State Department look TO the simple pro-
lection of the American legation at Peking.

In the event of general rioting. The State
Department is closely adhering to the prac-
tice it has always observed of noninter-

it is not contemplated that our naval forces
shall take any part in the contest between
the Chinese government and the Boxers"
though it is assumed that Rear Admiral
Remey, the commander-in-chief of the
Asiatic station. will take immediate steps
to supply Rear Admiral Kempff. the senior
squadron commander. with such naval
force as he may need for safeguarding
American interests at the treaty ports.

BLAMEs FRENCH CATHOLICS.
Views Of Rev. Isaac Taylor HeadIand
on the Boxer Movement.

on the Boxer Movement
NEW YORK, May 29.-In discussing the
Boxer" movement the Rev. Isaac Taylor
Headland, professor in the University of
Peking, who left Peking on March z and
is now in New York. takes a somewhat
peculiar view' of the trouble. He said:
''The French Catholic priests are the cause
of the trouble. The French minister in
China had the Catholic priests made Chi
nese officials of defined rank. whose busi-
ness 1t is to decide cases of litigation be-
tween Chinese Christians and outside Chi
nese. When a Catholic priest enters a
Chinese court, If he outranks the Chinese
official. he decides the matter If he IN
derranks him the influence of his official
rank amounts to about the same thing. IL
is apparent to the authorities that Russia
does not propose to be behind hand in any
move looking to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
empire, and 1t would not be surprising If
some day the world should wake up 10 find
that Russia had quietly annexed northern
China. Such action would probably be pre-
cipitated by the landing of foreign troops.

influence at Peking.

American Blue Jackets to Guard the
Legation at Peking-One Hundred
En- Route from the Newark.

LONDON, May 30.-Dispatches from the
Orient indicate that the situation in China
is very grave. Detachments of marines
from the foreign warships are now on their
way to Peking. The Daily Express has the
following telegram from Shanghai. dated
Tuesday: 1.-The rebellion continues to grow
in intensity. and the gravest fears are en-
tertained Of its ultimate extent. The for
eign ENJOYS at Peking fearing a massacre
within the capital, has decided to bring up
the guards of the legations. The rebels are
now massing outside of Peking, and their
numbers are reported to be constantly aug
menting. Fresh contingents of armed mall
contents are coming up almost hourly from
the north. The imperial troops who went
to disperse the rebels found themselves
hopelessly outnumbered. Several hundred
were killed and two guns and many rifles
were captured. after which the most Of the
remaining troops went over to the rebels.
They are now marching side by side 1t is
believed the Boxers have the sympathy of
the entire Manchu army in the anti-foreign
crusade. and there is no doubt that they
have the countenance of the Empress dow
ager and of Prince Ching. The Belgian
minister, escorted by strong body guard,
has gone to obtain an audience of the
Tsung Ii Yamen, number of his country
men. with their families. having been cut
off by the rebels at Chang Hsin-Tien. The
position Of the missionaries is one of ex-
treme peril, unless aid is speedily forthcom-
ing. 1t is feared that they will meet with
the same fate as their unfortunate con-
verts. whom the Boxers are ruthlessly mur-
dering.''

decision was well taken. The opinion is
widespread that the powers should compel

The Times, commenting upon the situa-
tion in Peking. says: 1--WE must follow the

and must lose no time in telling the Tsung

curity for the life and property of our fell
low-suhiecfs in China without delay we
shall take strong measures on our part"
The Times expresses the opinion that Great
Britain will have to intervene vigorously
for the defense of the elementary rights Of

NAY BE AT PRETORIA ON FRIDAY


Roberts Has Made Remarkable Prog
ress I'm Invading the Transvaal.
LONDON. May 30, $50 a m.-Lord Rob-
erts is bivouacking in the suburbs of Jo-
hannesburg and intends TO make VIC
torious entry at noon to-day. Judging from
his dispatch he must have private informa-
ton regarding the disposition of the garri-
son in the fort. he does not seem to ex-
pect opposition.
Lord Roberts's cavalry have gone be-
yond johannesburg. A portion is under
stood to be at Zurfontein. seven miles
north OF johannesburg and within twenty
miles of Pretoria.
Lord Roberts. although with broken
bridge at vereenigning and a wrecked rail-
way behind him. has somehow managed to
get forward sufficient supplies for his large
force. AS he has been able to do so much,
IT is considered possible that he will be
outside Of Pretoria on Friday. The rapid
ity Of his advance is thought an extraordi-
nary achievement, even by grudging con-
tinental critics.

along the line Of hills known as Kliprivers-
berg. abandoned the eastern end OF the

but they stood their ground on the ex-
