Headquarters of the Associated Press,
Kansas City, June 30.-Three vice pres
idential possibilities came in tOday-the
chairman of the silver Republican COM
mittee, who was named by the Popu-
lists for vice president, Charles A
TOwne, Benjamin +. Shiveley, eX-mem-
Der of congress from Indiana, and VIII
liam SulZer, member of congress Brom
New York. The latter Errived late in
the evening, after spending a day or
two ct Lincoln, where he had been
comforting with Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. TOwne modestly outlined the rea-
sons which prompted him TO be can
didate.
Mr.. Shiveley said he was not candi
date, while his friends declared that he
would be presented by Indiana.
No one is yet ready TO hazard a pre-
diction that anyone Of these men will
be selected.
The arrival of these candidates Great
ed talk and speculation, but neither
they nor anyone else can now even
guess how many votes any one Of them
viii receive.
Talk of Nominating on the Fourth.
There has been a renewal Of the talk
about nominating Mr.. Bryan on the
Fourth Of July, and a night session has
been suggested in order to accomplish
this. II IS even said that ne may. be
nominated before the platform IS
adopted, but many are doing what they
can to discourage the proceeding, de-
claring that it will be crowding senti-
meht too far TO depart from the regular
and orderly procedure of the conven-
ton.
There is still uncertainty as to
whether Mr. Bryan will come to Kan
sas CITY after the convention makes
the nomination. No one now here is
AUTHORIZED to speak for him. It has
been said that the convention can CON
clude all its business in two days. and
the third day be devoted to giving a
reception to Mr.. Bryan and listening TO
a speech from him. This would be an
attractive programme, especially for
Kansas City, as the appearance of Mr..
Bryan would doubtless attract as many
people as the opening day.
Rose and Richardson to Preside
Although the national committee has
taken no action, there has been a great
deal of correspondence and consultation
among leaders everywhere on the sub
ject Of presiding officers, amp the IN
Outstanding is that Mayor Rose of Mil
waukee will be the temporary chair
nessee, the minority leader in the house
Of representatives, the permanent chair
man.
About the hotels there is already
briskness and moving throngs of famil-
lar convention faces. a number of the
old line Democrats who have been go
ing TO conventions for years, and the
younger men who belong to the New
Democracy have arrived and taken I'd
the work in hand. Several boomers of
the vice presidential candidates have
come in and are making cOnsiderab bic
noise.
Delegates are dropping in from diff
ferent sections, and the meeting of the
subcommittee on convention arrange
Enents attracted quite a knot of men
about the national committee head

Washington, June 30.-The following
cablegram. has been received from
Consul Ragsdaie at Tien Tsin. dated
the 9th inst, being the first communi-
cation received from that officer in
nearly two months:

the 18th inst The Chinese minister.
4dr. WI, has private advices to the
same effect, which he has brought to
the attention of the state department.
Although no less than four accounts
nave come to the state and navy de-
partments respecting the condition of
the foreign ministers at Pekin, not one
u liz AACcSeSSS gives the SISnlGSL III
timation of why the ministers failed
to leave the Chinese capital when
given days time to do so.
{ One assumption is that the ministers
declined because they would have gone
out OF Pekin to certain massacre by
the hordes of Boxers outside.
Another is that they declined to leave
until the other foreigners were safely
removed, something beyond the capac-
ity or inclination of the TSung Ii va
men TO accomplish.
Expedition Will Go to Pekin.
But in the absence of the facts the
government today determined to pro-
coed upon the line already laid down,
namely, that the ministers in Pekin are
in need of help The navy and the war
departments will continue the plans set
afoot for the dispatch to Pekin of an
expedition to bring away the ministers.
A cabinet council today decided this
point, and did so with all of the official
dispatches before them, as we'll as with
knowledge of the contents of the Asso-
ciated Press Cablegrams from China in
their possession
The decision amounts to a practical
declaration that as yet there is moth

lister here, Mr.. WI, holds to The same
belief.

SULZER BEARS
BRYAN'S WISHES

Lincoln, Neb.. June 50-When Con
gresham Sulzer left for Kansas City
this afternoon the popular supposition
among Democratic politicians now in
Lincoln was that he took with him the
expressed wishes of Mr.. Bryan as TO
what should be contained in the finan-
cial plank to be presented to the Dem
ocratic national convention.
Mr. Sulzer is regarded here as the
mOuthpiece, for the time being at
least, of the New York delegation. Mr..
Sulzer himself is for positive specific
declaration for free silver coinage at
a ratio of 10 10 L He will not be sat
isfied with a reaffirmatiOn of the Chi
cago platform.
ITO attempt to dodge or shelve this
question would be cowardly and a be-
tTayal," said Mr.. SuIZer to the Associat-
ated Press correspondent. IT would
be an admission TO the R-1blicanS
that we have accepted their conten-
ton that free silver is a dead issue and
that we were wrong and that they were
right in the fight of four years ago.
1t is folly and false to assume that
free silver is dead either east or west.
In my last canvass for a seat in con-
greSs, III a district almost under the
shadow OF Wall street, 1 made silver
the whole issue and my majority was
the largest ever given in the district.
1 made the fight on this issue against
the advice of party leaders. too"
Whether Mr.. Bryan takes the same
stand as Congressman Sulzer neither
gentleman Will say, but it is the gen
eral opinion that they are not far
apart.
Lewis Holds Some Views.
It is noteworthy that J. Hamilton
Lewis entertains for Mr.. Bryan the
same attitude as that of Mr.. Sulzer.
Following an extended conference at
the BRYAN home Mr. Lewis said:
Il am satisfied Mr.. Bryan, il it We're
left 10 him. would not consent 10 the
omission from the platform Of an ex-
plicit declaration for free silver at 16

coin visit He made the acquaintance
of a few of the Nebraska delegates ana

Judge Powers cited the lead trust
and the sugar trust to show how the
application of Republican, laws affect
ed the people, and Thought 1t would
be perfectly natural for Republican
judges, trained as they are, to lean to-
ward organized wealth in their inter

Bacoor is squalid town, twelve
miles from Manila. 1t was captured
in the fierce fighting last June, which
eliminated in the hard struggles at
Paranaque, Las Pinas, Bacoor, Zapote
Bridge, and linus. The big church at
Bacoor stands down near the bay.
There are great holes in it made by
the shells thrown by the navy in the
fight for the town. The Americans
have a hospital in it now. There were
SO many sick that tents were put up on
on the plaza in front of the church,
and they. too, were full of the sick.
A battery Of the Fifth artillery was
parked in the street along one side Of
the church. The gun wheels were
coated with mud, and the cannoneers.

the ground around their guns and

church was the road to linus.
Gen. Grant, whose headquarters
were at Bacoor, had just come in from
linus. There had been four days Of
fighting, which had eliminated the
day before in the capture by the Amer
leans of Binacayan, across the river
from the linus road. The fighting had
been begun by the insurgents firing
from the other side of the river on
small parties travelling the linus road.
Larger forces had gone out as rein
forcements, and hard fighting had fol-
lowed.
We decided to go to linus. It was
growing late in the day. A cold rain
was falling and the afternoon was be-
ginning to grow dark. when we started

was personally interested in a lawsuit,
being party thereto. It was neces-
sary for him to make an affidavit, and
he deprecated the idea of making it
before another justice or a notary and
depriving himself of fee. So he filled
out his affidavit, swore to it before
himself, signed it as justice and as
witness and awaited developments.
He was sure that he would win and
thus be able to tax the costs up to the
