Mhy BRYAN Got So Many Votes.

John w. Breid 'nthal, the rec ent
Brvauite candidate for the Governor OF
Kansas, commenting upon the opel ing
of new bank in IA Kansas town ana
upon the deposit on the day OF opening
of more THAI 100000 by the farmers
and stockmen of Kansas is reported 10
have said that the occurrence was re-
markabe in the history OF IA Kansas
bank and showed the prosperous con-
dition of the farmers and the conhdeu'
that Mckinley 5 re. election as created.
The occurrence is hardly less remark
able than is such statement coming
from candidate OF tue defeated party
lie shows, what was suspected before
election, that Mr. Breidenthal, who IS
bank commissioner of Kansas, was not
in sympathy with the man who headed
the ticket on which he ran for Governor
or with the principles and policies when
were embodied i'll his party platform
and il gives rise 20 the reflection also
that there were without doubt many
other men who ran on the Bryan ticket
and very many others who voted ior
the Bryanite party who hoped IN their
inmost hearts that defeat for their party
and candidate awaited them. Paradoxed
as It sounds 1t was the surety of Bryan
defeat which gave him as large vote as
received A Lincoln once said, You
can fool all the people part of the time
and part of the people all the time but
YOU can't fool all the people all the
time, and the American people refused
to be fooled again in 1900 as they were
in 1892. Mr.. Breidenthal and thous-
ands of others who voted his way were
not fooled so much as they appeared to
be Economist.

Pulp Feeding

J. NJ. Bower, superintendent OF the
Ogden Live Stock Feeding Company
states that they are feeding "O3 head OF
dehorned steers and COWS, stralgn' color,
on pulp at the stockyard NJ the factory.
From November 70 Is fhe cattle have
averaged eating 100 pounds If pulp
apiece in addition 10 ten pounds of hay.
Salt is mixed with the pulp and the
cattle will begin eating it within three
DAYS after il Is first offered them
Calves six days OH VIII eat the pulp.
Mr.. Bower says the cattle he Is feeding
have averaged gain OF TWO and one
half pounds per day he also expects TO
feed 900 head of sheep. The beet pulp
as a cheap food ration gives results not
attained by any other element entering
into any other ration. This comes nor so
much from the inherent nutrition of the
pulp as from its ability TO make the
most of the other food eaten 10y cattle,
making available the nutrition in the
ration as whole 1t has been stated by
some of the largest and most successful
stock feeders in the country, after eX-
tengive experiments made by themselves,
that, with pulp as part of the raiions,
they were able To put steers on the mar
ket in thu, e.fourths Of the time. using
the same amount Of grain daily as IS
ordinarily feed, and it is the universal
verdict of dairy feeder that no other
kind OF ration produces nearly such re-
suits as one containing sugar beet pulp.

SUICIDE OF UNKNOWN WOMAN
She Leaps From a Bay Line Steamer
into CheSapeak Bay.

Norfolk, Va, June 28.-An unknown
about 80 years of age, who
was a passenger on h Bay Line
steamer Georgia on her trip down
from Baltimore last night. committed
suicide by jumping from the steamer
into Chesapeake bay. The occurrence
was reported by Captain Almy on the
arrival of his steamer in Norfolk this
morning.
After the steamer lac left her Balti-
more wharf, the woman conversed
with several lady passengers, saying
to one of them that she was born in
Germany. The stranger, however,
never revealed her identity.
About $3.50 o'clock p. m, when the
Georgia was nearing Chesapeake
beach, about forty miles from Balti-
more, the woman, who a been sit
ting for some time on the after deck
of the steamer, stepped suddenly in a
chair and to the rail of the boat, from
which she plunged headlong nto the
bay. She was seen to max the Leap
from the boat by a lady and a gentle
man.
The suicide had on a black skirt
with a blue striped shirt-waiSt. She
is said to a w had rather dark hair
was of very respectable appearance
and behaved in a quiet manner while
on the steamer.

comparatively slight, except in the
case of the French British conceS-
siOns, which had suffered severely. The
British casualties were four men kill
ed and fifty wounded, including six
officers. Mr.. Broderick also said he
had no news of the legations.
NO NEWS OF THE BRITISH MIN
ISTER.
In the house Of lords today the pre-
mier, Lord Salisbury referring to the
relief of Vice Admiral Seymour, aid he
knew nothing of the position of Sir
Claude NJ. MacDougald, the British
minister in China or of the members
of the other legations in that country.
He thought, however, there was
ground for hoping that no violence had
been done them, but even that. he ad-
ded, could only be stated hypothetical

BRITISH AND GERMAN LOSSES.
London, June 2S.-Admiral Bruce, in
command of the British forces at Taku

MYSTERY OF THE LEGATIONS.
The fate of the members of the lega-
lions is still a mystery. If they are
alive and unframed at Pekin, the Chi
nese government deserves some credit,
Shanghai correspondents think, for re-
straining the fanatical mob.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily Telegraph wiring at 9:05 p. m.
yesterday, says it is reported on good
Chinese authority, that the govern
ment, alarmed by the foreign military
preparations has issued an edict, or

RELIEF OF SEYMOUR
Accomplished Just in Time-Where-
about of Legations a Mystery

London Jun 90, 4 a. m.-The caSu-
aities of the international force attack
ing Tien Tsin were: Americans killed
8. wounded 2; British killed 2, wounded
l; Germans, killed Is, wounded 81; Rus
SLAMS, killed 10. wounded 81. The gun
fire of the Americans and British is
described as beautiful"
After the relieving force pushed on
to relieve Admiral Seymour, Chinese
regulars under General Mich, says a
dispatch from Shanghai, again attack
ed Tien Tsin forcely and bombarded
the foreign settlement with a terrible
fire.
Colonel Dorward, British, command
ed the column that relieved Admiral
Seymour. American marines partici-
pated in the achievement. The admir-
al was found entrenched and surround
ed by immense masses of Chinese, who
were driven off by the relieving force
after a brisk fight. His men had made
a brilliant resistance, never failing in
courage for fifteen days of continuous
fighting. During ten days the men
were on quarter rations. They started
with provisions for ten days and they
could have held out a day or two long
er.
The column was a few miles beyond
Lola. Deeming il hopeless TO attempt
to break through the hordes, Admiral
Seymour eSsayed a night retreat to-
ward Tien Tsin; but he came into col
tsion with a strong force of Chinese
arriving from the northwest and could
neither advance nor retreat. There
was nothing to do, u to intrench and
to stand siege. He vainly attempted
photographic communication.
MURDER OF MINISTERS REPORT
ED BY PRISONERS.
Seymour's men caught several Chi
nese who said the legations had been
burned and the ministers killed. 9th
ers aid that the ministers had been
imprisoned.
The Chinese displayed fanatical cour-
age in the attack. -Four thousand
Russians left Tien Tsin our days af-
ter Admiral Seymour, but they never
got in touch with him.
Railway communication between Ia
ku and Tien Tsin has been restored and
to protect the legations at all hazards.
WAR PREPARATIONS AT PEKIN.

troops toward Pekin, and the exodus
of Chinese of all classes from Shanghai
continues at the rate of from 10000 to
$4,000 a day.
Russian prestige has been injured
during the recent fighting and an anti
Russian rising in the Liau Tong PENN
sula, Russian Manchura, is predicted.
According to the Shanghai co%rrespon-
dent of The Times, advices from Shan
Tun say that Governor Yuan xix Kai
maintains relations with foreigners
and has sent numerous couriers to Pc
kin, but none of them has returned.
A telegram from Jardin, Matheson
& Co., dated Shanghai, this Afternoon
suggests that the ministers are still al
Pekin. but admits that there is no news
from the capital. The telegram adds:
Seymour arrived at Tien Tsin with
314 of his force wounded besides s.
killed. The damage done to Tien Tsin
has been much exaggerated. Shanghai
is quiet"

THE FOREIGN LEGATIONS
Conflicting Statements as to Their
Whereabouts and Conditions.

London. June 2S., Z D. ma repre-
sentative of the Associated Press was
informed at the foreign office his even
ing that the viceroy Of Nankin had tel
egraphed to the British consul at
Shanghai that he had received, June
25th, an imperial rescript as follows:
The foreign legations at Pekin con-
tinue as usual to receive every prOtec-
ton from the imperial government"
On the other hand, the officials of the
Chinese embassy say they have reason
to believe the foreign ministers at Pc
kin were given their passports June
18th.
The foreign office is much concerned
at the latter report and hopes it will
not be confirmed, as it would be an I'M
expectedly adverse development which
would possibly mean a declaration of
war.
Washington, June 2S.-Minister WI
called at the state department today
and exhibited the following cablegram
to Secretary Hay:
Canton, June 2S.-The legation min
listers having left Pekin, are now twelve
miles from Tien Tsin with Admiral
Seymour.
LII HUNG CHANG"
The minister explained that the ca
bIegram reached him from the Chinese
minister in London. He believes the
dispatch to be accurate, but the state
department officials are inclined to
doubt il as yet.
New York June 2S.-The New York
agency of the Hong Kong and Shang-
hal banking corporation received the
following dispatch from the corpora
tons London office:
are informed on reliable author
ity that the legations at Pekin were
safe up to June 25th and were receiv-
