SENATOR MORGAN'S VIEWS,

Thinks the President Needs the Aid Of
Congress in the Present Crisis.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala, July 19.-In let
ter to a personal friend in Huntsville,
Senator J. T. Morgan Of Alabama gives
his opinion on the Chinese question as
follows:
eve have reached the point where
expansion divides itself, into question
of influence guaranteed<by treaty and
question of occupancy. Expansion by
occupancy stops at the border, yet ex-
pansion by influence has occurred in
China under the commandment Go We
into all the world, etc., and we are
compelled to support it with all our
power, and at great expense, without
the hope Of reward in land and money.
1.-THE situation there is too serious to
be managed by the president without
the aid OF congress-. and am expecting
a called session of congress. -

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS.

State Convention Noninates Hon. John
w. Ye1lkes for Governor.
LOUISVILLE, July 19.-The Repub-
ican state convention nominated for
governor Hon. John w. Yerkes of Dan
vile, adopted platform declaring the
issue of the election to be the Goebel
election law and adjourned within
three hours. There were some anti
Goebel Democrats in the convention,
but as to how many figures differ. In
the Shelby county delegation there
were, according to statement made
from the platform, 10 Democrats. A
feature Of the speeches made was that
they all paid tribute to what the Demo-
cratic party has done in the past,
though they unsparingly denounced
the present Democratic state admins
tration and the Democratic legislature,
thus indicating a purpose to welcome
into the Republican party all Demo-
Gratis who are opposed to the Goebel
election law
There was no nomination to be made
by this convention except for governor,
as this years election in Kentucky is
an extraordinary one to fill the vacancy
in the governorship made by the death
of Governor Goebel.
The present governor, Beckham, will
hold this office only until his successor
is elected and qualities unless he should
himself be elected governor.

Washington Officials Place Some Credenca
in Chinese Dispatches. =
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The buoyant
and hopeful feeling as to the Chinese
situation has been strengthened blythe
addition Of confrmatory dispatch
from Consul Fowler, at Che Foo, touch
ing the safety of the legationers at Pc
kin on July y. Of course, it is under
stood that MI. Fowler's information
came from the same fountain head as
did Minister Wu's, namely, the famous
Yuan Shih Kai, the military governor
OF Shan Tung province. Because Of
the very intimate relations that have
existed up to very recent date be-
tween this official and the imperial
court at Pekin, he having been COM
mander Of the imperial bodyguard
there is disposition here to attach
more credence to his dispatch than
would be accorded to those of other
Chinese officials. This is based on the
presumption that he has no induce.
ment to falsify the facts. Secretary
Hay had number of diplomatic callers
during the day, prominent among them
being Minister WI, Mr.. Wollant, the
Russian charge, and Mr.. Thiebaut, the
French charge.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Missouri Democrats Make Imperialism
the Campaign Slogan.
SEDALIA, Mo-, July l9.-The Demo-
cratic state judicial convention nomi-
mated Judge James B. CAN'T of Clin-
ton, Henry county, for judge of the su-
preme court by acclamation.
Congressman David A. De Almond,
temporary chairman, in. the course of
his speech, discussed the Kansas City
platform, which, he said, rightly put
imperialism down as the chief issue of
the campaign. The outbreak in China,
he continued, calls for prompt patriotic
action.
"This outbreak and the condition in
which we now find ourselves" declared
Mr.. De Almond, "illustrates the phil
osophy of our party, that it is the duty
OF the government to attend to it's own
business and the interests of it's own
people and to avoid entanglements
abroad. We must act as an American
nation, not as part of any aggrega-
tion, not as faction of some great Eu-
ropean monarchy"

WASHINGTON, July 19.-"There will

upon and that will be adhered to-" A
cabinet officer made this statement and
then added:
General MacArthur's dispatches on
the necessity Of retaining there all the
troops save those already under orders,
are clear. It would be unsafe to take
any more away"
"Then, under no circumstances will
the forces in the Philippines be drawn
on?" he was asked.
II am not going to say that any con-
clusion reached is an absolute finality,
but this much is positive. No develop
ment in the situation is apprehended
such as will call for change in this
policy as to our troops in the Phil o.

News of the Chinese Invasion of Siberia
Considered Serious.
LONDON, July 19.-If the news of q
Chinese invasion of Siberia proves true
it will, of course, immensely compli-
cate the situation from the interna-
tional point Of view AS stated in the
Associated Press St. Petersburg dis
patch of July 13 tno Chinese had already
peremptorily ordered all Russians to
quit Manchuria, but no one imagined
they would be audacious enough to
break out Of their own country and at
tack Russian territory. Such an attack,
IT it has been made, of course consti-
tutes in itself declaration of war, rem
dering formal notification needless
y separate attack by the Chinese on
Russia means giving Russia, according
to the view expressed i'll Europe, addi-
tional excuse for an isolated descent on
Pekin, and al additional claim to assert
greater influence than the other pow
ers and obtain greater compensation
when the day OF settlement arrives
Hence, extreme uneasiness has been
created in the chancellories by this
latest development.
