In a few days more the Republican
National Committee will have met and
acted. and the fate OF Addicksism in
Delaware will have been sealed. In
their hearts the Addicks leaders know
it, although they are doing their best
to combat the inevitable. Next Wed
nesday the National Committee will
meet in Philadelphia 20 make up a roll
fer the convention. Before that roll
is made the contests will be heard and
decided, 80 far as the committee is con-
eerned. II is probable that the Della

taken up and disposed OF. After the
briefs have been filed and the testimony
and argument heard the committe,

TRANSyAAL AND PHILIPPINES

Almost the only subject before the
Cabinet at Washington yesterday was
the situation in China. Secretary Hay
read cablegram from Minister Con-
ger, at Pekin, in which he stated that
there was no improvement in the situ-
alton, and asked for instructions. Mr..
Hay stated later that a reply would be
sent to Mr.. Conger. reaffirming the
one sent recently, that he will be ex-
pected to do whatever is necessary to
protect the lives Of Americans and
their property, and to maintain the dig
nifty OF this government. He will be
Instructed to form no alliance with
any government II is understood that
the representatives OF the Powers in
Pekin will call on the dowager em-
press, and present the necessity OF her
taking immediate and vigorous action
TO suppress the rioters.
A cablegram from Tien Tsin says
that in a fight between Chinese troops
and Boxers 500 OF the latter were slain.
1t is also reported that Chinese troops
have been defeated at other points.
General Butler has cabled the War
Office that he has had a fight in the
Free State with Beers, and "hopes he
has obtained a position from which he
can render Laings New untenable."
A dispatch from Cape Town says the
work of organizing the government Of
the Transvaal is proceeding. A por-
tion. Of Sir Alfred Miners stan has
gone to Pretoria to start the machin-
cry, so the proclamation of the annexa-
tion of the Transvaal may be speedily
expected.
Public interest in London centres
largely in the fate Of the British pris-
oners at Pretoria, but Il is believed
about $500 were recovered, including
129 officers.
The Lorenzo Marquee dispatch that
United States Consul Hollis has been
with President Kruger is
creating some comment in London, but
in view of a Washington dispatch,
which asserts that Mr.. Hollis has no
official errand TO the Transvaal, there
is no disposition to regard his move
nents as significant.

ever, and about 80 per cent. above
those Of 1898. Testimony equally
strong is given by railway returns,
which cover about half the entire mile
age for May, amounting to $S7, ,075, ,461,
with gains of 9.5 per cent compared
with last year and 10 per cent. COM
pared with 1898, and these gains are
shared by every section or class of road,
and by nearly every considerable sys-
ten. While It is true that the move
ment of grain eastward has been smaller
than in other years, the west bound
movement of merchandise has IN all
quarters increased more than enough to
balance the loss in earnings. Exports
do not materially change, having been
for the first week OF June from At
lantic ports, including -four, 2,S55, ,261
bushels. against 1Sf9,373 last year,
from Pacific ports, 59,015 bushels,
against 623, 400 last year, and Of corn,
2,793,S69 bushels, against 2,SO4, 900 last
year.
Bradstreet's makes this commentary
on the week:
New business at wholesale is Of a
between seasons character, but warmer
weather has offered a stimulus to retail
business in some sections. Chief activ-
ity and most attention are, however,
still concentrated on the prices situa-
tion, and efforts to readjust quotations
to meet current demand and supply
conditions go forward steadily. The
only exception to the general down
ward trend of prices is that furnished
in leading farm products, notably ce-
reals, but here the moving cause is
hardly favorable one, being the result
Of less satisfactory crop reports, par
ticularly from the Northwest, and it is
to be noted that advices from the. Cen
tral West, where the Winter wheat
yield promises to be very short, are
also less favorable. Whatever surplus
occurs in this branch of wheat culture,
in fact, will have to be furnished by
the Southwest, from which, by the
way, crop reports continue very good.
The Northwest has had some rains,
but, it is claimed, not enough to render
the situation free of danger Corn crop
conditions remain favorable. as like
wise do those of oats, but these grains
and hog products have sympathized in
the upward movement of wheat, which
has at last broken from it's leth-
argy, and is again attracting specula-
tive attention Foreign crop advices
1t might be added, are not flattering.
The German rye crop promises to be
very short; the same report comes re-
garding French wheat, and English
crop advices are not of the best.
Bank clearings for the week aggre-
gate $l,655, ,695,l72, an increase of "a
per cent. over last week. which in
cluded holiday, but a decrease Of 8
per cent. from this week a year ago.
Compared with this week of 1898.
there Is an increase shown of "a per
cent, and compared with 1894, current
clearings are about double. Outside of
New York, clearings are "a per cent.
larger than those of last year. Busi-
ness failures for the week numbered S4.

Inspection of Chester Fire Compa
MES Not Success
From all accounts, the annual inspec-
ton Of the Chester Fire Department by
the Fire Committee Of Council and Chief
Robinson was not an unqualified success.
During the inspection the horses at
tachcd to the Franklin steamer ran away
and the driver, George Eyre, was thrown
from his seat and the horses We're cap

No one was injured by the runaway
An alarm of fire was sounded while the
inspection was on. and there was a great
scramble to get to the vre A cab in which
were part Of the committee and Chief
Robinson. of the department, was wreck
ed. while turning a corner one OF the
wheels gave way, and the occupants were
thrown in a heap in one corner of the
cab. No one was injured.
The Franklin Fire Company was out
testing its steamer in the storm. sewer
inlet got choked up and the fire in the
boiler was almost put out. There was ter

1t Is generally admitted that the inspec-

SOUND MONEY ACTIVITY

Those Bryan Democrats who natter-
ed themselves that the Sound Money
Democrats would acquiesce this year in
the nomination of Bryan and the ac-
tual or tacit reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform are about to be unde-
ceived. The national organization OF
the Sound Money men is awake. Its
executive committee has issued from
Indianapolis a call for a meeting Of the
committee in that city on July 25. It
is the outcome Of a conference OF the
executive committee which was held in
New York on June 1.
II is the opinion Of many members OF
the executive committee that, if the
Kansas City Convention nominates
Bryan and reaffirms the Chicago plat
form, the Sound Money Democrats
must put a third ticket in the field tc

denied they will become mere specta-
tors unless their feeling of disappoint-
ment should prompt them to return
home TO nurse their shame and dis
grace in private.
The Milford Chronicle makes the dec
laration that the st. Louis decision was
based on senatorial courtesy. That we
deny. It was based on Republican
principle and justice which upheld the
only Republican organization in Della
ware against the brazen pretensions
OF an illegitimate organization, which
sought to parade under a name TO
which it had no claim, and to form a
national Republican attachment for a
venal Democratic helpmeet We also
deny that the hearing before the COM
mittee in ST Louis was "ex-parte, and
OF soandalous and untruthful charac-
ter"
The Addicksites had every opportu-
nifty to make good their contention and
failed utterly TO convince the commit
tee Of their Republicapism.
Chairman Alice may parade the
streets and shout that the Addicksites
will have three out Of every four votes
in the National Committee, but we feel
safe in saying that If they get one vote
in five they will be exceedingly fortu-

Il is not surprising that the Boxer
revolt is spreading in China when it
has the tacit encouragement Of the
Chinese Government. The authorities
are doing practically nothing to effect
the suppression Of this great anti-for-
eign movement and every day adds to
the list Of crimes and excesses commit
ted by the fanatics. Hundreds of mis-
sionaries and other foreigners in the
interior are at the mercy Of the mobs.
and even those in Pekin and other pop
ulous centres are in danger.
The fear Of a wholesale massacre is
accentuated by the knowledge that the
Boxers are obtaining arms, and prepar-
ing to resist all opposing forces. wheth-
er sent out by the Chinese Government
or by the great Powers now parties to
the movement to protect the foreign
population. II is apparent that if the
Chinese Government is impotent to
check the revolt and its attendant out
RACES, the forces Of the Powers will
perform that duty; and China will find
to her cost that it will be easier to
get foreign troops into the country
than to get them out of it.

BRYAN is FREE SILVER

Sound Money Democrats in Delaware
are not deceived by the plan Of the
Bryan managers to ignore the currency
issue and, at the same time, nominate
Bryan. AS the New York Sun aptly
states. Bryan Is the Chicago platform
on two legs. His nomination will be
equivalent TO a reaffirmation OF that
platform. New York and Maryland
have fallen in line with the Eastern.
plan, but New Jersey has not. Here
in Delaware things are shaping Up to
follow the plan Of ignoring Free
Silver and sending TO Kansas City a
Bryan delegation. In Indiana, West
Virginia and Missouri the Bryan man
ayers have pursued a course which
should be a warning TO Sound Money
Democrats in the East They have
manipulated the state conventions in
such manner as to obtain not only an
unqualified endorsement of Bryan, but
also an unqualified endorsement
OF the impossible proposition
Of l6 to /. While the action
may not cost the Democracy
dear in Missouri. where free silver SEN
timent always has been strong, In
Indiana and West Virginia it most like
ly will drive thousands Of votes away
from the Democratic ticket as 1t did
four years ago.
When the Delaware delegation reach
es Kansas City 1t need not be surprised
IL it finds everything set up and ready
for a complete endorsement OF both
Bryan and the Chicago platform, with
certain "vote-catcher" additions there
to; and when It returns to Delaware It
need not be surprised TO find many
Democrats still true to the principles
which governed their action in 1896.

President Mckinley is strong in all

can majority in Oregon is but a dem
onstration of his strength on the Pacific
coast where the policy of expansion
appeals with peculiar force to the peo-

Hawaii and the Philippines. Their

WEEK OF TRADE

R. C. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade says:
Ii is but few days since an eminent
iron master overwhelmed doubts and
questions by the positive declaration
that any decline whatever in the price
of iron this year was simply impos-
sible. Yet anthracite No. / has de-
clined S4.25 per ton, and this week the
Bessemer Association has reduced its
price at Pittsburg $3.50 per ton, and
the Southern makers 81 a ton. The
decline in ratio of prices Of pig iron
from 1927 in January to $3.50 this
week, and I'm the finished products
from 9S.05 to S0.01, does not in fact
show the entire change, as the Steel
and Wire Company's guarantee OF
prices in case OF further reduction re
specting products not then shipped Is
in effect a concession. A few large con.
tracts are reported, but the new bust
ness is so small that many works are
stopping or reducing force. These con
ditions are liable to have some inilu
ence in preventing the prolonged stiug
gle which has been threatened abOu
wages and hours OF work. The fac
can hardly be too often stated that Their
appears no reaction or shrinkage in tn
volume of business, save that whicl
