the hour named II was not known to more
than q dozen delegates that any effort was
being made TO heal the breach which had
been caused the day before by the seating

that the night was TO be taken up In the
morning session at the point where the
struggling partisans had left or the az

| West of Picking.
LONDON, August %, $3.50 a.m.-The
allies, resuming aggressive operations,
have taken the district west of Pekin.
| This statement, based on Chinese au-
thority, is caDled from Shanghai. From

ment that Lii Hung Chang has wired the
Empress Dowager at Hsian Flu request
ing the arrest of Prince Tuan and the
disarmament of the Boxers, on order to
give him an opening for negotiations
with the powers.
The Examinations projected at Shang
hal in celebration of the relief of Pekin
| have been abandoned, lest they should
cause native outbreak. Evidence
has been received here" says the
Shanghai correspondent of the Stand
ard, going to show that General Yung
Lu was the real author of the anti
foreign outbreak. the Empress Dowager,
Prince Tuan and the others all having
been persuaded by him to take an ex-
treme attitude, while he stood aside and
awaited Developments"
American refugee missionaries in
Annoy, according 10 the Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail, are
anxious to return to the interior, but
the United States Consul has forbid
den them to do SO and urges them to
go ITO the Philippines or to return to
America.
Shanghai advices to the Daily News
says that consular opinion there looks
upon Japanese action in the landing
of troops at Annoy, despite the pro-
tests of the consuls, as similar to that
of Russia at New Chwang, the whole
indicating tendency to partition of
the empire.
Russian Journals agree" says the
Moscow correspondent of the Standard,
that 1t is impossible to deal with
China in the spirit Of revenge, as sug
gested by Emperor William. They
believe that me1hodS less drastic can
better accomplish the ends of Russia
in Manchurla. The question would
be satisfactorily settled to Russian
minds by the seizure OF the northern
provinces"
A st. Petersburg special quotes En-
peror William, when wiring in answer
to the announcement that a Russian
regiment had been named after him,
as follows:
Express my good wishes to-day with
all the greater joy since our Russian
and German commanders, after a long
time fighting together, are again
shoulder to shoulder. According to
an old and sacred tradition, victory
will not be wanting"

looked exactly alike, and their appear
ance was but a small portion of their
similarity. A few weeks ago the moth

was raised on her forehead. She cried
bitterly, and deep, blue spot appeared
on her right temple. Clyde intuitively
suffered the same injury, though no
spot came on his forehead. Whether
from the injury or not is not known,
but last Friday Claudy became sick. The
physician pronounced her ailment
brain trouble. Almost at the same time
Clyde was taken sick with the same dis

Because President Mckinley Was
Kept Away By Official Duties.
CHICAGO, August 27.-William j.
Bryan has followed the example of
president Mckinley, and has declined
to be visitor at the National Encamp-
ment. He, this afternoon, sent a mes
sage to Executive Director William r.
Harper, the head of the local commit
tee in charge of the local end of the en-
campment. saying, that because of the
absence of President Mckinley from
the encampment, he considered it adj
visable to remain away. His telegram
is as follows:
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 81.
To W. H. Harper, Executive Director
of the G. A. R., Chicago:
Since President Mckinley declined by
public business, believe that the pro-
prieties of the occasion demand that I
also decline, and thus relieve the re-
union of any appearance OF partisan
ship.
w. ]. BRYAN.
The local committee, through Mr..
Harper, expressed its regrets at the in
ability of Mr. Bryan to be present by
sending him the following message:
CHICAGO, Aug. q.
To Col. William ]. Bryan, Lincoln,
Neb.:
Your telegram declining the invita-
tion to the G. A. r. because of Pres
ident Mckinley's absence by reason of
his public duties received. The ex-
lecutive committee appreciates your
delicacy of sentiment under the cir
cumstances, and, while regretting that
we cannot have the pleasure and honor
of entertaining you, -

The Republican county committee,
with headquarters here, attempted
most despicable trick which to-day's
events shows has been a dismal failure.
When the Democratic committee,
through Hon. c. A. Clark, chairman,
on July II, arranged for to-days meet
ing, Mr.. Clark informed Chairman En-
gle, of the Republican committee, that
such an arrangement had been made,
and asked if the Republicans contem-
plated a meeting that day, it being the
first day of court. Mr.. Engle assured
Mr.. Clark that no meeting was con-
templated. Accordingly the Demo-
cratic meeting was advertised and ar
rangements concluded. On August Il,
Chairman Engle addressed a letter to
Mr.. Clark, asking for joint debate.
This was refused, very properly as
the Democratic meeting had been fully
advertised and the crowd assured, but
Mr.. Clark agreed to make arrange
mentS for a joint debate at a future
date. Failing in their purpose to Sc
cure a crowd through the efforts OF
the Democrats, the Republicans tried
to induce Judge McWhorter, Repub-
lican, to postpone the opening OF court
so as to detract from the Democratic
meeting, but, much to his credit. Judge
McWhorter refused to listen to such
proposition
