MIGHT HAVE BEEN PHILIP.
Admiral Was Offered Second Place on
Both Tick cts

New York. July 1.-THE World says:
Had the late Rear Admiral Philip cared
to go into politics. Governor Roosevelt
would not have been the Republican
nominee for vice president. Since the
death of the admiral it has developed
on either the Republican or Democratic
ticket The offer of the Republican
nomination was made by Senator Plat,
who called at the navy yard and siren
uously urged the former commander of
the Texas to allow his name to be used
at Philadelphia The invitation to be-
come the running mate of Mr.. Bryan
eBated by Senator Hill, who had picked
the naval hero as the man TO stir up
enthusiasm in the east. Both offers
were modestly rejected by the admiral.
Comptroller Coler, commissioned by
Senator Hill. met the admiral at a din
ner in Brooklyn. The comptroller and
the admiral were close personal friends.
During the dinner mention was made
Of the presidential candidacy ofAdmiral
Dewey. Comptroller CoIer informed
Admiral Philip in a half ocular way
tnat the Democrats were considering
his name for the presidency.
Sh, sh, Sh, sh-don't say a word"
answered Admiral Philip with a depre-
catory wave of his hand PLAT was
over to see me the other day. and we
went all over that question from the
Republican side
After dinner the comptroller gave the
admiral TO understand that he was
serious in his offer. Admiral Philip then
recited the incidents of the interview
with Senator Plat.
I believe Admiral Philip looked on
both offers as a huge joke" said the
comptroller He seemed to eniov tell
ing of Mr.. Platt's visit.

CURTIS AND TILLOTsON.
Kickapoo Indians Give Dances in
Their Honor

4 special dispatch from Horton, tell
ing of the green corn dance OF the
kickapoo Indians, says:
Two extra dances were given by the
indians today. One was in honor of
Congressman Charles Curtis the great
friend of the Indian, and the other was
for D c. TillOtson. the Topeka lawyer,
who is trying to have the Kickapoo
jurisdiction of the United States gov
eminent The Indians want whisky
and they can't get it very easily while
wards Of the government. AS a rule
the Indians are suspicious of the pale
faces" but they seem to have abso-
lutte confidence in Curtis and Tillotson.
Chief kee-au-qua is about 80 years
old He lives in a frame house near
the dance grounds 1t has a dirt floor
and IS cFudely furnished. The tribe has
a big wigwam near the chiefs house,
where the council holds its sessions. 1t
is made of bark and is bound UP by
tanned hide straps
The Kickapoos are becoming some
what civilized. Congressman Curtis got
$4,000 appropriated by congress to
erect mission to educate the Indian
children The mission has been COM
pleted and the children are now going
to school. Eight teachers are en-
ployed- 1t is the only school on the
reservation which covers an area six
miles wide and eighteen miles long.
Two little Pottawatomfe Indian boys
ran off from their reservation twenty
five miles away to come to the Kick
apoo school The authorities said that
if the little Indians were so anxious as
that for an education they could re-
main in school
The kickapOos are 4 peaceful tribe.
Many Of them never leave the reserva-
ton There are Indians there so years
old who have not stepped outside the
reservation since locating there. The
most of them are ilfiterate. They not
only cannot read and write, but cannot
even talk the English language. Some
OF them. however, have acquired q lit
tie education. Chief Kee-au-qua is one
Of them He can and does read the
papers occasionally.

ENGLAND'S POLICY
Regarding China as Outlined by VIM.
ST. John Broderick.

New York. July IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
William St. John BrOderick's explana-
lions of the British policy in China were
definite, SO far as Japan was concerned.
The British government had made
strong appeal to Japan to send an ade-
quate force to China to suppress the
outbreaks of mob violence and to rescue
the legations. Japan in dispatching re-
Inducements had not been required to
make any pledges respecting her utter
Tor purposes. and no conditions had been
imposed upon her Japan had acted up
on the initiative of England at a criti-
cal stage of Chinese affairs. Mr.. Brod-
erick did not explain whether there was
any secret agreement between the Brit
ish and japanese governments by which
the two empires would stand together
against Russia He avoided any refer
ence to a European mandate for Japa-
neSe action and clearly there is none.
Japan. at the urgent request of England
il cooperating with the other powers in
the restoration of order and no umita-
lions are placed upon her action
Close observers already perceive that
the deliverance of the legations, If Ii
can be effected, will not mark the end
of the Chinese complications but the
beginning of one of the most trouble
some chapters in European diplomacy
Japan, having sent a strong force into
China will be as reluctant as Russia to
retire without receiving adequate COM
pensation in territory and Germany will
be equally persistent in her demands for
satisfaction for the murder of her min
lister.
Chinese news offers a strange medley
of contradictions and surmises but the
general tone of the press dispatches is
brighter and more hopeful than 1t has
been. There is no confirmation mere of
the American report that the legations
were safe on July 5, which is a day la
ter than the official dispatches to the
admiralty, but there is an apparently
trustworthy statement from Shanghai
that the empress dowager has resumed
control of the imperial government, with
Yung Lu as chief minister 1t is NOT
clear whether Prince Tuan has been
diseredited. or whether the empress
dowager is still using him to keep the
boxers under control and at the same
time directing Yung Lu and Prince
Ching to protect the legations.
There are no further details of the
Chinese operations against Tfen Tsin.
nor any explanations of the evidence
which led Admiral Bruck to believe that
Prince Ching is supplying the legations
with food and defending them against
assault News from Central China is
however, distinctly reassuring and in
dicates that the anti-forefgn movement
- not making progress in that quarter
and that the mission stations are safe
Lord Salisbury himself has confirmed
TINS view in q letter to friends Of the
foreign mission association.
