SIR SHIH AT SEA.

London, July 24.-The Chinese min ister, Sir Shin Chen Lo Feng Luh, had q long interview with Lord Salisbury this afternoon. The general situation was discussed and the Chinese minister asserted his belisf that the British min ister to China Sir Claude Macdonald. and other fo eigners at Pekin were safe. Lord Salisbury reiterated his de- mand for direct communication with the minister at Pekin. To this request the minister could only renew his protestations that it would be speedily accomplished if feasible. He adduced no new facts to prove his assertions. The interview closed without results. Despite the Chinese ministers state ment and despite Sir Claude MacDon- adds letter of July 1, a strong impress sion continues to prevail at the foreign office that the ministers at Pekin We're massacred July 6.

GERMANY DECLINES.

Berlin, July 24.-Count von Buelow, minister of foreign affairs. made d re- ply today to the appeal of the emperor of China for G rman mediation between the powers and the Chinese govern ment. In substance, Count von Buelow said he would not submit the telegram from the. Pekin government so long as the fate of the legations and other for eigners in Pekin were not ascertained and as long as the Chinese govern ment had not atoned for the murder of the German minister and giving guar antees that in future its conduct will be in harmony with international law and the usages of civilization.

ferent schemes and decide on some thing at once and then go after it. Everyone now sees the necessity of water storage. IL is no longer an idle theory to be held out for the future development of bOundless resources but is a question of the present that stares us in the face, a matter of self-preser- vation. We have got to have the res ervoir so why not all pull together and get it just as soon as possible?"
 A.E. Hinton said: Why, certainly I favor the bonds. It is a question of building a dam or moving out of the country. The estimate of the losses in this valley during the last two or three years has been placed far too low It is not only the hay and grain and fruit crops that have been lost. That could. perhaps, be figured up. but every business man in the valley has lost indirectly by the lack of trade that he would have been sure of had the water supply been adequate. Land owners could we'll afford to pay g for every acre of land they have if they could be assured of water and that is twice as much as the face of the bonds asked for. The situation is a critical one to say the least. We have our property here that We value at a certain figure. It is worth that to us now. will be worth vastly more if we get water storage, but its real value under the hammer is depreciating very Gapidly. Investors are mot docking for fading glory, but for something that has promising future. The Salt River valley is no longer looked upon as a region just budding into a glorious future, but as a land that is rapidly drying up. In a short time outside cap ital will stop coming in at all and without an increased water supply valley property will not only be a drug on the market but will cease to be a source of revenue to it's owners. By all means let us have bonds and water stora ge."

STILL FIGHTING AT PEKIN.

Paris, July PA dispatch from the French consul at Tien Tsin. forwarded from Chee Foo July 20, has been re- ceived. The dispatch says a courier from Pekin relates that since June 20 the foreign ministers have been be- sieged in the British legation and the marines were making a vigorous de- fense. The supply of ammunition is low and the peril of those in the lega- tion is great. Up to the time the cour- fer left Pekin the loss of the marines had been sixteen killed and seventeen wounded.

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS
Tie Opening of the State Convention
 Today.

Detroit. Mich, July 24.-Detroit is crowded today with leading democrats of Michigan. The occasion is the state convention of the party, which will convene here tomorrow. A full state ticket is to be nominated, and q plat form adopted. As regards the. guber- material nomination, a majority of the delegates are uninstructed and the con- ventiOn will meet with no special pref erences. William C. Maybury, the present mayor of Detroit, is the only avowed candidate for the head of the ticket. The Detroit delegation is ready to support his aspirations, but the state outside of Wayne county displays Il tendency to await the orders of Daniel J. Campau. Maybury and Campau are not on friendly terms. The latter, de- spite his public statements to the con- trary, would probably prefer a candi- date from the interior of the state to the man who has built up a municipal machine in Detroit that does not run smoothly with the Campau plans. The only names mentioned besides that of Maybury are those of Senator Helme of Adrian, Patrick H. Gilkey Of Kala- maZoo county and Brad" Hayes of Ionia county.
 The question of the state chairman ship is attracting almost as much at tention as the state ticket. Talks with the delegates and politicians already on the field indicate that Campau can re- tain the chairmanship if he will, but it is deemed likely that he will pass the honor to some other. Those mentioned in connection with the honor are George P. Hammer of Holland. A. A. Ellis of Ionia and Wellington R. But Of Saginaw.

LITTLE HOPE.
or Washington Being Able to Do-Any-
 thing for China.

Washington, July 24.-The state de- partment is again in a waiting attitude regarding China. It has frankly promptly and fully answered the Chi nege emperor's appeal for mediation and the correspondence given publicity today, makes it appear that the nex5 move is for the Chimes government. It is to accept or to retract our terms at once and in either case the answer must convey tidings of the state of af- fairs at Pekin and the welfare of the leGationers.
 The belief Is not concealed here that the chances for successful mediation are slight. Mediation cannot b. forced upon party to the cause. It must be accepted by all parties If the United States is to mediate in China's interest she must first secure the assent of all the powers who have suffered in life or property at Pekin.
 The difficulties in the way of the un- dcrtaklng are likely to be many and sc rious in view of the exhibition of feel ing in Europe. but it is said here that the United States will cheerfulIy un- dcrtake the task. provided its condi- tlons are met. If it does not succee I
 
 lcnient in their treatment of the gov ernment of China, the United States government will not be driven into further hostilities after we have taken care of our own affairs. But We will withdraw, taking care. however, to iat it be understood that this government will not allow it's proper interests in China to fe injured by the action of VI,..
 remain obdurate.
 At least one of the greatest powers is under strong suspicion here of act ing cold-b'ooded and without gard to sentiment or anything more than the most material of considerations. It is believed that this power is quietly taking measures to drop out of the league at Ti5n Tsin and conduct a cam paign on it's own account against Pekin. and it is even suspected that thi . power is already moving troops to- ward the Chinese capital. One fact. re- garded as now beyond need of further demonstration. in view of the Chinese appeal, is that Chinese officials at the coast ports are actually in communica- lion with whatever remains of the i'm pcrial government at Pekin, and the text Of Kwang Hsu's appeal appearsko O establish the fact that the Chinese ernment itself is sanctioning the sistance to an international adys upon Pekin.

INDIANA GOLD DEMOCRATS

 to MT. Bryan Today.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 24.-The van guard of the national committee of the gold democrats is in this city in antici- patton of it's meeting tomorrow, when the question of putting d national ticket in the field will be decided. Gen eral Foster Peabody of New York is chairman of the committee, which is composed of one member each from every state and territory. The inGica- tions point to a full attendance. Opin- ion among the members is divided as to the advisability of putting a ticket in the field.
 Some are in favor of making nOmina- tiOnS while others support the sug- gestion that the gold democrats con fine their action to the adoption of res olutions which would leave no doubt of4their hostile attitude toward MT.

SILVER FOR THE WEST
Imperialism and Trusts to Attract the Attention of the People in Those Localities ill Which the Doctrine of Free Coinage Is Here sy-Tammany's Course Finally Decided Upon.

New York, July 24.-Chairman James k. Mcclure of the democratic state executive committee today made statement at headquarters that set Ia rest all doubt as to the degree of mony existing in the party cXA1S the great Bryan plapks

 question:"
 Mayor Mcclure today held eourt\ the new headquarters in the St. James building, Broadway and Twenty-sxth street. He had the faithful Len Wag- her close by to warn the cranks away, and see that only the proper persons were admitted to the presence. From now until election day he will be mayor of Syracuse four days in the week and chairman of the democratic executive committee three days. When he is not in this city, however, he will leave his affairs in the hands of trusted lieuten- ants.
 When an Associated Press reporter
 called on Chairman Mcclure today he found him opening big batch of mall.
 ''I find plenty to do," said he. Just ! now I am busy organizing the clerical
 force here at headquarters. The cam, paign will not open in real earnest unt about August 15, but We are getting
 some literature out. We are issuing some twenty-page pamphlets on trusts statistics and arguments. We shall flood the state with them. Some big meetings will be arranged later on. and it is expected that MT. Bryan will come here and speak, but the exact time has not been fixed"
 It was in response to a request to name the paramount issues that tAc/ blow to silver was delivered by MT Bryan's New York representative. Then
 MT. Mcclure continued: Trusts and imperialism are things that the people feel, and these things demand immediate attention. Why. Roosevelt himself, in his speeches in
 the west, is devoting three-quarters of what he has to say to imperialism alone. Our platform declares that this l issue is paramount, and MT. Bryan, in his recent speeches, says the same thing. Naturally we shall keep it to | the front.
 ''Of course, silver will be leading ;s- sue in the mining states, but else where it will not be dominant. In this
 state particularly the people are not especially interested in it."
 Will the campaign in New York | county be left entirely to Tammany l Hall?"
 1 'To a large degree. It is customary ! to allow the democratic organizations 1 in cities where they are strong to ruit 1 their own local campaigns. The state committee will have a general super
 vision, and will settle important qucs- l tions of policy that may arise. 1 guess ] the Tammany organization can take
 care of itself in this county" said MT. 1 Mcclure, with d smile. When asked what he thought would ! be the effect of the nomination of a 1 third ticket, MT. Mcclure said it was
 much too early to tell. He hoped it | would draw votes from the republican
 party. He will call a meeting of the
 executive committee as soon as he gets ! things in running shape.

The absence of municipal govern
ment in this prosperous city is plainly
apparent in connection with the awful
disaster at Galveston. In all the large
cities of Europe and America the
mayor or burgomaster has issued ap-
peals to the people for help for the sur
yivors of that stricken city and these
appeals have been responded to most
literally. Here in Honolulu, with no
mayor or no organization to take the
initiative, not one cent has been sub
scribed nor has the slightest sympathy
of substantial sort been shown for
the people of the stricken Texas city.
