 Yesterday was the longest day of the year and should have been the hottest; but as regards the weather it was as a day borrowed of November or February. There was light chilly rain, light chilly wind, cold, grey gloomy clouds throughout the miserable day, and men thought of moth- ball scented overcoats and women of win ter wraps. more cheerless, discomfort- ing intolerable day is scarcely imagina- ble!

Mckinley and Roosevelt.

The nomination of Governor Roosevelt for Vice-P President was made to appear to be a, military-enthusiasm war-echo affair, when in fact it was the clutch of a drown ing party at a straw. It is an acknowl- edgement that New York is a doubtful state and that the battle ground of No vember is chiefly in that state. From Platt to Hanna and back again throughout the whole line of big bosses and little bosses, not one can be found who loves the self-willed and cratic Roosevelt. All hate him and his methods, but all are afraid of the great vote of New York, and so all have combined to put him in the Vice-Presidential cage, where his good qualities will be wasted or foled
 He is wanted as a vote-getter in New York State, and for nothing else. Even the horses in Philadelphia would have laughed if they had been told that Boss Quay and the other bosses accepted Roose- welt because of his reform proclivites. They accepted him because the blunders of the administration have rendered New York State exceedingly doubtful in a political sense. The nomination of Roose- welt is a confession that it is New York or nothing, and it is hoped that Roosevelt can pull the party through. As he carried the state two years ago by 1S,C00 votes only In a poll exceeding 1900, ,0OO it is plain that he has a task before him in pulling ad- ministration blunders through when his own laurels are faded and outworn. The San Juan business will not suffice this time. It is all the Republicans had to play, however, and it is not strange that they unanimously decided to play their slouched-hat hero for all he is worth.

fact that it alone is responsible for devas- tating trusts. In free trade England few trusts are formed because there they can not raise prices. In this country each trust has a low price for its export trade and a high price for it's home trade
 The Philadelphia hypocrites had the nerve even to advocate reciprocity treaties, when the Senate they easily control refused to ratify one of them. Nerve is a good thing, but it is possible to overdo it. After this labor matters that belong wholly to the States. Demagogey knows not State lines. however. These demagogical declarations are properly followed by an endorsement of Mark Hanna's ship-subsidy steal. This endorsement is couched in general terms, to the end that the taxpaying millions may not seedhat they are expected to contribute S9, 00O0 900 year to half hundred ship-own- ing millionaires.
 Demagogism runs rampant in the last half of the verbose platform. It comments civil service that MT. Mckinley has near ly squelched; it comments the sending of Neelys to the new possessions; it denounces suffrage reform in the South; it calls for better public roads, although such work belongs to the States, and it asks for the early admission to the Union of New Mex ico, Arizona and Oklahoma, although the party has fought such bills in Congress fully ten years, and the present Congress did not advance them.
 The platform demands a reduction of war | taxes, although the Congress controlled by 1t refused to lessen taxation to the extent of single dollar It demands an isthmian canal, although the Republican Senate shelved the Nicarauga bill. It evades an endorsement of the Nicaragua route, be- are expected to swell the campaign funds, are fighting for the Panama scheme in the hope of gaining more delay. It comments colonialism in bill which transforms Por- to Rico into a colony that ranks in every respect of self-government far below the l average English colony.
 In brief, it is largely a condemnation of Republican acts of omission and commis- sion. In part it is self-indictment, and the rest of it is devoted to rottenness in behalf either of the campaign fund, or of the classes that it consistently fosters through privilege and robbery.

 It was handsome silver waiter woven round about with garlands of flowers, beautiful flowers, exquisite flowers, and la dened with red, rich, luscious peaches; in and out ran smilax, and the center crowned by a lovely bouquet, on which daintily rested two visiting cards-one large (the address of the fair maiden was doubtless on that, one narrow and long dhat indicates an unmarried man). Of course the waiter was not alone, but had the usual colored accompaniment, and he smiled most knowingly as he saw the news paper mans inquiring gaze, but gave us no information that would lead us to discover the inception or destination of this lovely creation.

AN EXPLANATION OF
 CHINESE SITUATION

New York, June 21.-Richard Brnsley Sheridan, who is returning from a diplo- matic mission for the British government in the far east and who spent fifteen months in Pekin and Tien Tsin, says:
 'The trouble dates back to September 10, palace. During her absence the Emperor, temporarily in authority, planned, under the advice of his tutor, Rang Yu Wal, to depose the sovereign. To this end arrange ments had been made to the extent of or dering the General commanding the troops at Tien Tsin, who was to march to Pekin and support the Emperor The Empress, learning of the plot, hurriedly returned to Pelin only to find the Emperor in commu- nication with Marquis Ito of Japan. The Marquis, who is Prime Minister at the China, ostensibly to further treaty where under Japan was to educate the fleet and the army officers of China.
 Upon learning that the Emperor was to confer with Marquis Ito she insisted on be- ing present at the interview concealed be- hind a serene and unknown to the Marquis. When the interview took place. therefore the Emperor confined himself to asking a few commonplace questions after which he drank his tea, signifying that the audience at an end.
 That night the Emperor was arrested and imprisoned on an island in the palace and reports were circulated by the Empress of his death.
 Many of the Emperor's supporters were executed. The people began to clamor for their Emperor, and the powers, in order to disprove his death insisted upon the Elm peror receiving their representatives. A rising of the secret societies was expected and feared. Pekin, Tien Tsn and all of the northern towns were placarded oyer night to the effect that if the Emperor did not appear there would be an uprising and a massacre, not only of all the foreigners who were believed to side with the Elm press policy, but also of all Chinese who were anti-reform. Thereupon the powers ordered their marines to Pekin to protect their legations.
 China is honeycombed with secret soci- cites. Those in the north and in the south are all pro-reform, if not progression, and on the side of the Emperor. The present Boxers are the delegates of these societies, and unless speedily suppressed the mem- bers of all the societies will rise for the recognition of the Emperor and for the massacre of all anti-reformers.
 Meanwhile the Empress, relying on the promises of Russia, secretly encourages the Boxers into the belief that foreigners want to dismember the country.
 At the present time, counting mission aries and all, there are not more than 1So white men in Pekin. Every one of them is in danger of being killed. Unless the pow CTS strike hard concerted blow at once, they had better suspend operations until they are able to do SOL

Many Birds Sent at This Season
Across the Atlantic-Imports Z
Of Game. ~, = .-. .

Among the gifts at the Christmas
season are many of game, which are ex-
changed between this country and for
eign countries, chiefly England. Thus,
Englishmen send here pheasants and
grouse and so on, and Americans send
to England canvasback ducks, wild tur-
keys and other choice game. These
things may be sent from either coun-
try to the other, say by bankers; New
York banking house sending the game
of this country to members of the house
representing it in London, and London
bankers, it may be, sending English
game to members Of the American
house representing it here. Merchants
in both countries maintain the same
pleasant custom with their representa-
tives abroad, and private persons in
either country send game to their
friends in the other.
This game is packed in hampers and
shipped in the refrigerator rooms of the
steamers on which it is carried, and it
reaches its destination, on either side,
in perfect condition. Every year at this
season many such packages find their
way across the Atlantic in one direction
or the other.
There is now considerable American
game exported, this being a trade that
has been developed chiefly within the
past ten or twelve years. October, No.
vember and December are the months
in which American game is most large
ly exported, the quantities depending
more or less on the season and the sup
ply. There are sent from here prairie
chickens, quails, various kinds of ducks
and other game. This game is shipped
mostly to Liverpool, whence it is dis
tributed. American game in it's sea-
son may now be had in various countries
Of Continental Europe as we'll as in
England; Berlin being the largest con-
sumner among the continental cities.
There is some game imported into
this country from European countries,
this including venison, quails, par
tridges, pheasants and ducks from
France, and pheasants from England,
and grouse fl om Scotland. Theforeign
game is imported principally during
the close season of American game. 1t
is sold, some to families, but mainly to
the more expensive hotels and restau-
rants.-N Y. Sun.
