IT is foolish on the part of any
one to say that the electoral vote OF
this State can be cast for Pres ident
Mckinley unless the members Of
either wing outnumber the Demo-
Gratis. If they do not all vote the
same ticket Bryan will get the cleo
toral vote of the State just as GER
tainly as the Sun shall rise ard set
on the first Tuesday in next No
vember. 1t is folly in any one to
say he is in favor of the election of
Mckinley or Republican ascen-
dsncy in the State, and at the same
time raise BILE obiec-
tons to the union of the two oppos-
ing factions. Should the contention
for leadership be continued the
Democrats will elect majority Of
members to the Legislature and the
result will be the election Of two
Democrats to the L. S. Senate sand
the passage of laws that equal
those adopted in South Carolina,
Mississippi, Alabama and Ken
lucky. Opponents to compromise
should consider what the harvest
may be by the continued wrangle OF
which every disinterested Republi-
can is heartily tired, and is ready
to exclaim: Let US have peace. -

Still Hunting for Morrison Murderer. .

West Chestr, June 16,-Chief of Police
Jefferis and District Attorney Joseph H.
Baldwin have not given up the quest for
tho murderer of Stella Morrison by any
means, but are quietly working and say
ing nothing. That there may be an ar
rest, is q possibility of the near future.
DADDY" Morrison Is credited with CIV
ing the officials the only clue which has
promised anything since the day OF the
murder, and they are working upon this
and nothing else at he present time. 1t
is leading them deeper and promising
better things than anything they have In
vestigatsd and they are making the best
Of it.
One thing Is admitted and that is that
the officials have run down tho sus-
poets until but two remain, There are q
number Of discrepancies in their stories
which must be cleared up. When these
are thoroughly investigated, it is believed
the police will arrest one and hold the
other as a star witness. II has been shown
that they were in the immediate vicinity
Of the house Of the time the murder 10

Foreign Force Wholly Inadequate to
Contend with the Native Hordes
Massea Outside the Gatcs-No
Relief For Weeks.
LONDON, June 16.-This is the stu
alton in China as it appears to the
Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
Express, cabling last evenings:
ut is really state Of yelled war. Tho
members Of the foreign legations in Pc
king are virtually prisoners, and the Chi
nese troops are only restrained from at
lacking them by fear Of the legation
guards. .s,-...
Meanwhile the ministers are alto
gether unable to communicate with the
officers commanding the relief column
which Is making an enforced and isolated
halt between Tien-tsin and Peking. The
walls Of the capital are guarded by 1O0,-
600 imperial troops. The gates are
heavily defended with modern guns.
General Tung, acting under orders from
the empress dowager, says that no more
foreign troops shall enter the sacred city.
ION Monday the ministers sent a de-
mand to the tsung-li-yamen that the
gates be opened, declaring that otherwise
the foreign troops would enter forcibly.
To this no reply was given. A second
message went unanswered or had nc
been answered when the latest news left
Picking.
"Sir Claude Macdonald's latest mes
sage says that the legations are capable
Of sustaining an effective defense unless
attacked in force"
Russia, this correspondent asserts, not
withstanding assurances to the contrary,
sides with China. Some foreign troops
are already reported to be in the environs
Of Picking, and the attitude Of the Chi
nese troops is increasingly menacing.
'The streets Of Picking" continues the
correspondent Of The Daily Express,
"are reported to be scething with anti
foreign mobs, clamoring for the destruc-
ton of the legations and the death of the
foreign ministers. Even were the tsung-
li-yamen disposed to restrain the vio-
lence of the reactionares 1t Is considered
highly improbable that they will be able
to hold them in check. For the foreign
ministers the crisis will arise when the
relief column comes in sight of Picking.
at Is still felt here that the foreign

the hordes of Chinese troops massed out
side the gates, which now include the i'm
perial troops from -haikwan."
A disquietng element in the situation
Is the fact that, although the Russo Chi
nese telegraph line from Picking, via
Kiakhta eastern Siberia), is working
again, the transmission of English mes
sages Is rgidy refused.
From Men-tsin it Is reported that the
foreign forces in the harbor will attack
the Taku forts and IL necessary lombard
them.
The international column appears to be
still at Lang-fang engaged in slowly re-
pairing the railway, which, according to
dispatch from Ticn-tsin to The Daily
Mail, dated June IA, cannot be effected
for weeks. The force is short of provi.
sons, and as it is without field transport
it must stick to the railway.

EDITOR George Carter, the
Democratic editor of the what has
been known as the Evening
Journal, should ask the next Leg
islature shat meets in Delaware
whom they consider fit to be United
States Senator. AS the REPUBLI-
CAN has repeatedly said it has no
preference for Senator so they are
Republicans. We have not much
respect for people who have to take
their Republicanism from Demo-
cratic editors paid by Republicans
who are always harping about
corrupt politics in Delaware, and
that every dog has his price. Be-
ing born in Delaware we have a
much better opinion of Delaware.
ans than some of the so-called
Delawareans who stick to the ideas
that their greatgrand fathers had.
The peculiar idea some men have
to adjust quarrel which has been
a disgrace to Delaware and all
Republicans in it, would be kept

of Republicans and they are not
the office seekers want harmony
and one party. They do not care
who are the leaders, so they are
successful ones. No house ever
stood in which there was a division
of the household. The attitude Of
certain Republicans who by the
way have been cared for by the
party, is not creditable to them or
to the men who have no axes to
grind, but the success Of the party
at heart. Mark Hanna gave our
waring Republicans to understand
that they had to come together, and
the President insists upon it.
The quarrel has gone on to such
an extent that all talk of compro-
mise has been lost sight Of by some
Republicans who before the Con-
vention pretended that they were
for harmony and the success Of
Republicanism in Delaware. For
years the Republicans had to fight
against the Ubiquitous disfrachis-
ing laws that allowed only Demo-
Gratis the right of suffrage. That
has been done away with and now
the spectacle OF Republicans fight
ing one another like starving
wolves or Kilkenny cats.

SENATOR FAIRBANKS,

asserted that the decision was against
Senator Plat, and other cases are in
stanced by members of the committee as
examples of independent action.
Speculation, gossip and informal con-
ferences among national committeeman
and other leading Republicans who are
here has failed to indicate a crystalliza-
ton Of sentiment around any individual.
Neither Senator Hanna nor those who
are close to him give any intimation that
the administration has choice. The
number of delegates who will vote for
any man that the administration favors
seems to accentuate the general impress
sion that the nominee will he the man
most satisfactory to the president.
"If you would take us into your conf
dence on this vice presidential matter, it
would simplify the situation greatly and
give us an opportunity to do what the
president would like" said a prominent
Republican to Senator Hanna, and the
reply he made was, "You know all I
know about it."
Senator Hanna's only observation on
the situation was that until the different
delegations arrived and there was an OPP
portunity for them to consult no conclu-
sion could be reached.
Senator Platt's talk of Odell Of New
/ York caused little futter here, and
Dolliver stock took an upward turn about
! the same time, the cause being the i'm.
preston that In case Odell should be
pressed by New York there would be a
concentration on the Iowa congressman
| by those who do not favor the New
| Yorker.
The candidacy Of Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff Of New York, who arrived yes.
terday, is still being kept in evidence by
his friends, but apparently without any
backing from the Republican managers
and with the distinct disapproval of SEN
ator Hanna.
1t is generally believed that Senator
Allison has made it plain that he will
not be candidate under any circum-
stances.
The position of Secretary Long causes
considerable comment, and ii is being
freely asked why the Long candidacy
should proceed so far unless 1t has the
tacit consent of the president. The fact
that Long is member of McKinley's
| cabinet gives rise to an undeniably wide
spread belief that the secretary of the
navy will finally receive the support of
the administration. II such is the case,
however, It is being carefully kept from
view. As the matter stands now it
would seem that Long, Dollver and Fair.
banks are the leading possibilities for
vice president.

OF soldiers and thousands of visitors
from east, west, north and south.
The open air attractions last evening
consisted of band concerts and fireworks.
The banquet given to General Otis
at $50 o'clock at Powers hall brought
to a fitting close day In the history of
Rochester which will long be remember
ed as the most enthusiastic demonstra-
ton ever witnessed by the people Of the
Flower City. In the banquet hall 900
plates were laid, but still this number
was inadequate to supply the demand.
Finally after the pressure had become ex.
cessive the doors were closed.
After the excellent menu Of eight
courses had been discussed grace was
said by Rev. Rob Roy Converse, D. D.,
and few Introductory remarks made by
President Henry B. Hathaway Of the
Chamber of Commerce. Toastmaster
Charles j. Bissell, after fc terng refer
ences to the guest of thu sE sning, intro.
duced General Otis.
General Otis as he arose to respond
was greeted by enthusiastic applause,
with the assemblagc standing, while the
Marine band played Hail to the Chief"
General Otis thanked the citizens Of
Rochester for their affectionate welcome
and expressed feelingly the great pleasure
be felt at his homecoming.
Referring to the Philippines, the gen.
eral said:
II have heard a great deal about the
Philippines since my return. l know as
a fact, however in spite of all that has
been said, that the Philippine Islands are
in the possession Of the United States,
and the United States cannot get rid of
them and cannot withdraw. Nor do the
intelligent citizens of America want us to
withdraw. Intelligent men Of the Phil
ippines want United States protection
and government, and to them l have
promised protection from all loss of life
and property, and ] know that this coun-
try will fulfill that promise"
The POSTMASTER next introduced the
doughty little General Fighting Joe"
Wheeler. At the mention of his name
the assemblage rose en- masse and cheer
ed vociferously, napkins being thrown
into the air, and the enthusiasm ran high.
The band played Dixie" and yankee
Doodle" 1t was fully ten minutes before
General Wheeler could be heard. Other
speakers were Hon. J. Sloat Fassett and
Hon. j. s. Sherman.

WHILE the cats away the mice
will play. This has been forcibly
brought to mind by the uprising in
Persia. The Shah is on a visit to
Paris. The reason given for the
uprising Of the people, is that the
price OF grain has been put at such
a high figure that they consider it
a hardship. The spectators have
so manipulated the grain market
that the price of bread has been
increased SO it is practically pro.
hibitive, and the people demand
that the officials shall be removed.
A conflict took place between the
mob and the authorities and sever
al persons wounded. Such state
Of affairs is to be deplored and
the man or men who have it in their
power to work such hardship on
the poor should be punished.

WASHINGTON PLANS,
1t Is Thought Another Expedition
VIII BE Needed.

VIII he Needed.
WASHINGTON, June 16-Owing to
the natural reluctance to employ troops
save as a last resort and the disinclina.
ton Of the war department to supply
such troops except under pressure, the
officials are considering an alternative
proposition. This contemplates the put.
ting out of commission of several Of the
big ships attached to Admiral Remsy's
feet, notably the Oregon, and the add.
ton of the sailors and marines so re.
leased to Admiral Kempff's landing force.
The big ships carry on an average more
than 800 men apiece.
There Is a growing belief that 1t will be
necessary to organize another expedi.
tionary force at Tien-tsin to maintain the
communications of Admiral Seymour's
column, which with limited supplies will
be in severe need very shortly unless II
can force its way through to Picking. The
Monocacy arrived yesterday at Taku, and
II there were an emergency by pushing
on up the river she could have reached
Tien-tsin before dark. The Monocacy on
such short trip could easily carry fully
800 men in addition to her own crew, SO
that the safety Of the foreigners at Tien.
tsin probably is assured.
