ces and for members of the general as
sembly was held in Alabama today and
a large majority was returned for the
Democratic ticket, headed by William ].
Sanford. Of Leo County, who viii be
inaugurated governor on December 1.
The Republicans. Populists and Pro-
hibitionists. besides the Democrats. had
tickets in the field. but the returns so
far indicate victory for the Demo-
Gratis by an overwhelming majority
The Democrats have also gained sew
eral members in the general assembly.
The Populists and Republicans will to-
gether possibly have twelve Of the 1888
members of the legislature. a loss Of
50 per cent.
1t is estimated by the Democratic
committees that the majority win be
more than 5O.OOO
The election was regarded as a test
on the mooted question of holding a
constitutional convention. which is fav-
cred by the Democrats. and the inereas-
ed majorities are taken to indicate that
the people are favorable to the holding
Of a convention which will eliminate
the negro from politics.

Inade0uately supplied with food and
ammunition.
The responsibility for inactlon Il sad
died upon every contingent except The
American column. which. according 20
an press accounts, Is pulsailng with en-
ergy and anxious to march upon Pekln
With the least possible delay.
Two facts stand out among all these
rumors Of dlssenslons One Is the re-
luctance Of the Chinese yiceroys and
Imperial officials 70 have the relief col
umns set in motion. and the other Is
the lmpractieabIllty OF having an army
conducted by a consultlng board Of six
generals or admirals. Two sections Of
the allied forces. the Russian and the
German. are believed to be hanging
back on the ground that vlce-Admiral
seymour's mistake must not be repeat
ed. and that marching orders must be
deferred until the transport ls in per-
feet order and the troops are ready 10
go up TO the capital with an irresista-
bic rush.
Chinese reports that Russia insists
upon acting Independently and ls OBJ
jecting to an advance upon Pekin are
not credited with those who are watch
ing the crisis more closely Some com
manders are more cautious than others
and the urgency of a relief expedition is
an open question when the legations are
not under attack and are probably re-
ceiylng supplies with the sanction or
connivance OF the officials.
The powers must stand together In
q asst resort in resculng the legations
Some Of the most astute students OF
Chinese affairs assert confidently that
the legations viii be escorted to Tien
Tsin as soon as the imperial authorities
are convinced that Russia cannot be
detached from the campaign and that
a relief column viii be dispatched TO
The capital.

This Is the hrst official information
received here that the attempt TO re-

as correct.

THE relief column IL reported to have
suffered a check. The Chinese are said
20 have adopted Tugela tactics and

received In London this morning bear
ing on the reports OF Admiral Remey
and Commander Taussig, regarding an
engagement al Pei Tsang.
In the same eablcgraIn. which was
read In The house OF commons. the
consul n, Tien Tsir says.
News from the japanese legations
has been received up TO August l."
Therefore the ediets announcing the
safety Of the ministers on that date
are confirmed.
Yesterday the Chinese minister COM
municated TO Lord Salisbury a message
from the Tsung II Yamun. dated July
81. which contains this important state
ment:
"a successful termination OF the con-
ference with the ministers for their
conveyance under escort to Tien Tsln
Is expected. but on account Of the re-
commencement Of hostilIties az Tien
Tsln code kilograms for transmission
TO the foreign representatives are con-
sidered undesirable"
This appears to confirm the statement
that the Chinese win not endeavor to
stop the march TO Pekln by using the
ministers az hostages.

nouncement received through Rear Ad-
mirai kemey and Commander Taussig
Of reported heavy lighting on the river
beyond Tlen Tsin was news OF Inter
est in the Chinese situation. Little
doubt was expressed AZ the department
that the news was substantially cor
rect, II II probable that a later re-
rort may reduce the list Of casualties
among the International forces. but It
is evident that the move on Pekln is
at last fairly under way. and that
strong opposition has been encountered.
War department officials who have
been reticent for several days as 10 the
news from the seat Of war admitted
today when the naval dispatches were
received that the announcement Of q
battle was not unexpected The more
optimistic are inclined to think that
such severe blow as the Chinese
must have received at Pei Tsang win
result in the speedy diSintegration OF
the forces now opposing the march OF
the international column.
In line with this prediction, It was
prophesled that the Chinese government
would find means TO send the minis
ters from Pekin under escort and thus
stave OFT an advance upon the capital.
On the other hand number of officers
In positions 10 judge equally we'll held
that the fight at Pei Tsang was only
the beginning Of the strenuous resist
ance that should be continued to the
gates OF Pekin or beyond. It was urged
in support Of this view that the Chi
nese had hundred men to lose against
one OF the allies; that they were well
armed with modern guns and had ap-
parently an abundance of ammunition.

NEW YORK. Aug. GA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
News from China at midnight was a
mass ot contradictions and surmises.
The most startling rumor in the air was
the story that Ii Hung Chang had COM
mitJed suicide, but it was discredited.
II was considered more probable that
he was intriguing with the Russian
officials and striving to break up the
concert nf the powers.
Rumors that the allied army had ad-
vanced toward Pekin were varied with
the details OF an eight hours engage
ment with the Chinese. but this theory
slmmered down into skirmish few
miles west of rien Tsin, which had al
ready been reported.
There were persistent reports from
Chinese sources that the allied COM
manders had disagreed on various
points and could not be induced to
order an advance upon the capital.
These differences of opinion were prob
ably exaggerated, but there was proba-
bly, substratum Of truth for these
Chinese tictions. The Americans, Brit
ish and Japanese commanders are de-
scrihed as eager for a decisive action,
whereas The Russians and Germans do
not consider the united column as
strong enough for the work, and as
