New Board of Officers for Republic Loan
Association.
A thorough reorganization of the Re-.
public Savings and Loan Association
was effected at meeting in New York
Tuesday afternoon. Herbert III. Ward
and William Michael Bryne of this city
held the proxies of 207 members. Mr..
Byrne made strong speech which
aided in securing the reorganization.
All the Cases and their relatives con-
pected with the ofiioiary of the otgani-
cation, resigned and their designations
we're accepted Mr.. Ward was elected
one of the directors.
1t was decided to reduce the stock
liabilities of the association TO the ex-
tent Of $500, 600. This was not consid-
cred necessary by the stockholders be.
cause the association was in fact in
solvent but it was done SO as to meet
the views of the banking department. of
New York and its effect would be IN
fact not to actually reduce the value of
the shares on liquidation but the pro
Iortionate distribution would bring
Just as much to each shareholder after
this shaving Of the assets as it would
before.
The association will endeavor to Sc
cure the dismissal of the receivers and
to be permitted i to liquidate its affairs
through the hands Of its own officers.

of the war loan to the United
States is received IN the higher finan-
cial world as good thing for London
in tine present position of the English
hanks. The brokers and all investors
severely, almost Fassionately, critioise
the Chancellor of the Exohequer, Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, for privately
arranging for half of the so.called
public loan and allowing the invest
ment plum to go out of the country.
The Bank OF England advised Sir
Michael to accept the American offer,
which was made early last week
through j. p. Morgan a Co. and the
Earrings, the joint takers, pointing out
that this was an easy and natural way
to bring in gold and save the exports
to the United States in October. Other
wise, the bank rate might have to be
raised to or 9 per cent, and extra
ordinary measures would have TO be
taken to Increase tho gold reserve
The Earrings informed The Asso-
ciated Press that, though the loan was
more than subscribed in New York

Sir Michael Hicks. Beach, 1t was not

Morgans said the insurance companies
were large subscribers, and both the
Morgans and Earrings said a large
portion of the millions would como in
gold. Two million pounds, it is under
stood, are already engaged.
The critics of the chancellor Of the
Exchequer point out that the loan was
worth 8 $40 per cent; that 1t was SO
excellent a thing that every pound
should have been kept here that, even
If the A merioan offer were accepted, it
should have been done differently, and
that to ask for subscriptions TO ten
millions when five millions we're
already allotted was rather tricky.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
London, Eng, Aug. 8. In the House
of Commons, today, Mr.. BIodrick, Par
Elementary secretary for the Foreign
Office, read a telegram from Sir Claude
Mcdonald, British minister to China,
received in cipher at the Foreign Office
this morning. The dispatch was in re.
ply to a government message, and bore
date Of Pekin, August Sd. 1t WINS as
followse
II have today received your cipher
telegram, forwarded to me by the
Chinese minister. The shell and can
non, fire ceased July 10th, but the rifle
fire has continued from the Chinese
positions held by government troops
and Boxers Internationally ever since.
The casualties since then have been
slight. Except one private of marines,
all the wounded are doing we'll. The
rest of the British in the legation are
we'll, including tho whole garrison.
The total of killed is co, and Of
wounded 10. We have strengthened
our Notifications. We have over 200
women and children refugees in the
legation. The Chinese government has
refused transmission to kilograms in
cipher until now. "
Mr.. Brudrick also read the following
dispatch from Admiral Seymour, filed
at Chefoo, August 9th:
"Tbe allies, about 1900 strong, at
| tackled the Chinese entrenched position
at Hsiku, about two miles outside
Tientsin, early this morning. The
Chinese were driven out, and retired
northwaid, pursued by the allies, who
occupied Peitsang. Transports followed

advance upon Pekin has been begun. -
This dispatch does not give the date
of leaving Tientsin.
| Mr.. Brodrick said he thought the
messages were, on the whole, satisfac-
tory. The country understood the
policy of Her Maiesty's government in
regard to China, which was to carry or
with absolute tirmness and determi ma

country's interest.

Ca Make Changes in the Union Republic
can Ticket at Will.


can Ticket at Will.
The action Of the Union Republican
convention, in Dover, last Monday, in
delegating to j. Frank Alice, State
chairman, absolute power in the matter
Of making any changes which may be
desired in the State ticker, is source
Of wonder and amusement to Demo
Gratis and Regular Republicans.
The resolution bearing on the sub
iect leaves the matter entirely In the
hands of Chairman Alice, who, it is
generally supposed, will not do any
thing that does not meet with the
approval Of j. Edward Addicks, the
party leader. Consequently, the effect
is the same as if the matter had ,Eesn
left in the hands of Mr.. Addicks.
I. Mr.. Alice, acting in accordance with
the wishes of the leader, can remove OF
suspend any or all of the nominees
from the ticket. Should one Of The
nominees not meet with his approval,
for any reasons, he can diop such
nominee froiu the ticket at will and
substitute anybody who suits him. He
can make as many changes and make
them as often as he desires.
II look ut the matter IN this way,
said prominent Democrat. The
formation Of ticket on Monday was
merely a matter OF regularity, and this
real object for which the convention
was called is to be carried out by ont
man. As | understand such conventions
| they are composed of representatives ol
the party from all parts OF the STATE
and they, as representatives OF thu
party, are supposed to make the nomi
nations according to the will of tbeil
constituents. This convention has sur
rendered its power in this matter tt

who, it is generally supposed, will no
do anything that is not endorsed il
