Senator Depew Voices Common Sentiment
London, July 9.-Senator Chauncey
M. Depew, in the course of an inter-
view, said:
sit is an impossible task to dominate
or conquer China. That would re-
quire 10000 men. 1t is necessary,
of course, to rescue the ministers, mis-
sionaries and merchants and to punish
the instigators of the outrages. So far
the United States will join with the
other powers, but the government is
opposed to the splitting up of China.
1.-The best policy to be pursued, after
the uprising is suppressed, will be to
elevate to the throne a wise, progress
sive native prince, like Ii Hung Chang.
The United States government is pre-
pared to support the open-trade door
with all it's power. But those nations
seeking to promote a breakup OF the
the empire will find the United States
against them"

Women are making great advance
ment in the study Of forestry. in the
University of Washington at Seattle
sixty women have taken lectures in
forestry during the last four years;
eleven have enjoyed the study in the
University of Nebraska. In the Col
lege of Forestry at Cornell the courses
are strictly professional, and intended
for the instruction and training OF
managers of forest properties. While
no women have been admitted to that
department, a special course designed
to give general information on The
subject is open to them. Professor
Maria Sanford of the Minnesota State
University has been hard at work for
the past fifteen years trying to save
the forests of northern Minnesota
from the hands of lumber contractors.
Through the influence of the women
who took up the matter of planting
and cultivating trees ON College Hill,
Cincinnati, dilapidated locality, has
become attractive, and property in
that section has advanced 20 per cent
in value in two or three years. In
New Jersey, Miss Vermilye, in an ad-
dress before the State Federation of
Women's Clubs, brought forward the
Importance of an intelligent under
standing of forestry.

BRYAN AND STEVENSON.
Both Chosen by Unanimous Vote of The
State Delegations.

State Delegations.
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska
was again unanimously placed in
nomination as the Democratic candi-
dnte for president of the United States
on platform opposing Imperialism,
militarism and trusts, and specifically
declaring for the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of l6 to 1. The nomina-
tion came as the elimination OF
frenzied demonstration in honor of the
party leader and lasting twenty-seven
minutes and giving utterance to all
the pent-up emotions of the vast null
titude. 1t followed also fierce strug-
gle throughout the last thirty-six
hours concerning the platform declara-
ton on silver and on the relative
position which the silver question is
to maintain to the other great issues
of the day.
Kansas City, July THE national
democratic convention finished its work
bChotOi i'iAA ~
New York was the choice of several
solid delegations and was nominated
in the convention but he refused to be
considered candidate and begged his
friends to stop the movement. 1t was,
or would have been, stampede for
Hill, which, it was probable, would
have been successful had not some of
his friends needed his personal appeals
to them and gone to work among the
delegations. The result was that eX-Vice
President Stevenson, of Illinois, was
nominated by the first and only vote
taken. Before the vote was announced
changes were made which made the
vote unanimous This with the nom
nation of Mr.. Bryan by a unanimous
vote completes the harmonious work of
the convention; the platform having
been previously adopted without an
opposing vote.

KANSAS CITY PLATFORM.
A Comprehensive Digest Of Very
Lengthy Document.
IMPERIALISM THE ISSUE

The platform opens reatlrming 1altn
that the declaration of independence
is the spirit of our government OF
which the constitution is the form and
the letter. 1t declares that the consti-
tuition follows the flag but gives no
power to the executive or to congress
to violate it. 1t denounces action
taken in the government OF Puerto
Rico as an open violation of the organic
law. 1t condemns delay in fulfilling
the pledge to the people of Cuba. 1t
condemns and denounces the Philip
pines policy of the present administra-
ton, and favors declaration of
national policy to give government,
independence and protection against
interference, to the Filipinos. 1t de-
clares that the burning issue is imper-
iaiism growing out of the Spanish war,
regarding this as the paramount issue
of the campaign. 1t takes no back
ward step from its position on other
issues, but this is the leading point in
controversy
1t insists on the strict maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine. 1t declares
that militarism means conquest abroad
and oppressian at home. The national
guard is sufficient and should ever be
cherished.
1t denounces private monopolics as
indefensible and intolerable, and
charges the republican party with dis
honest paltering to trusts, and pledges
the democratic party to an unceasing
warfare in nation, state and city
against private monopoly in every
form. Corporations should be protected
in all their rights but restrained from
interference with the public affairs of
the people.
1t condemns the Dingley tariff bill
as trust breeding measure devised to
give favors to the few and to place
burdens upon the many.
1t favors the enlargement of the
scope of the interstate commerce law.
1t reaffirms and endorses the Chicago
platform of 1896. specifically the plank
demanding free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to /. 1t denounces the cur
rency bill enacted at the last session of
congress which aims to discredit the
sovereign right of the national govern
ment to issue all forms of money.
1t favors the direct election of Uni
ted States Senators by the people
Itopposes government by injunction,
denounces the black list and fayors
arbitration of labor disputes.
1t expresses pride in the courage and
fidelity of American soldiers and sail
ors of all wars and favors liberal pen
sions 1t favors the immediate |
construction, ownership and control of
the Nicaragua canal by the United |
States.
1t denounces the republican party
for neglecting to give statehood to
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
1t favors an intelligent system of !
storing waters for irrigation and of !
holding the arid lands, when provided |
with water for actual settlers.
1t expresses indignation against
England's purpose to overwhelm South
Africa by force.
II favors the reduction and speedy
repeal of the war taxes.

Pittsburg, Pa, July o.-The roof
over the covered walk at the western
entrance to the Union station col
lapsed and injured six persons. The
framework for distance of 1875 feet

Immense Standard Oil Fire.

New York, July 7.-Lightning struck

Oil company at Boyonne, N. j. contain
ing 100000 gallons of oil and the
blazing oil carried the flames in all
directions. This sea of flames ran
among tenement houses and chased the
people. The refinery cost sl,5o0,0o0
and about third of the plant is in
ruins. The two tanks which exploded
increase the loss by 100000.

RUSSIA GIVES CONSENT.
Will Give Japan a Free Hand To
Apply Military Force In China.
THE POWERS AND ALL AGREED.

London, July 9.-The Russian gov
Japan free hand to apply military
force in China. The terms of this con-
sent are summarized in the subjoined
dispatch from st. Petersburg, in reply
to an inquiry from the japanese cab
met regarding the dispatch of the
Japanese troops to China to render aid
to the foreigners in Pekin. The Rus
sian government declared that it left
the Japanese government full liberty
of action in this connection, as the
Toxic cabinet expressed its readiness
to act on full agreement with the pow
ers 1t is in consequence OF this, no
doubt, that Japan is preparing to en-
bark 10000 more troops.
Political considerations that were
thought to have been influencing the
action of the powers were thus laid
aside, for the moment, at least, by the
government supposed to have the
cledreSC purpose respecting
future. Japan's sending of troops can
have little bearing an the fate of the
foreigners in Pelin.
o., Baron Hayashi, the new japanese
minister in London, said that ten days
would probably be required for the
carrying of troops to China. His die
tated statements contain these SEN
fences: "If all the conditions Japan
has asked were conceded, / see no
reason why Japan should not under
take the task of suppressing the
trouble. The powers are all agreed in
wishing to put down the rebels, but 1t
does not seem that they are agreed on
the means"

Russia objects to japanese Army.

Berlin, July THE Representative
OF the Associated Press learns from a
reliable diplomatic source that, despite
repeated official assurances, the en-
tente between the powers is rather
shslsy, especially between Russia and
Japan, and England and Russia, re-
spectively. Russia strongly opposes
Japan's acting for the powers and
Japan wants assurances that her
efforts will not result as they did in
1904.

Producing Cheap Milk.-There

Producing Cheap Milk.-There Is
probably no civilized country in the
world where milk can be produced as
cheaply as in the United States yet
many other nations actually go ahead
of us in this regard. We have a vast
area OF cheap lands, where we get
cheap pasturage and grow cheap feeds.
But for all Of that we permit European
farmers. living on high-priced lands,
to make milk more cheaply than do
We. when they buy from us even much
Of the feed out Of which their milk Is
made.

Prof. Atwater declares that our most
valuable foods of the flesh and cereal
classes respectively arc pork and corn.
Among flesh foods pork is exceed

cornmcal is close behind and is much

Prof. Atwater concludes. all things
considered, that cornmeal stands at
the head of our food products.
The health food faddists will
ind no comfort in Prof. Atwatcrs de-
examinations. They are addicted to
oat meal, which is found about the
least nutritious Of cereal products.
They think the eating Of candy is a
sin; Prof. Atwater recommeds candy,
especially for children, as one of the
most nutritious Of foods. The super
stition that fish and oysters nourish
the mental powers is again exploded
by Prof. Atwater. He contends they
are among the least nutritious Of foods,
either to brain or body. He thinks
blue6sh is rich in nutriment matter,
but lays especial stress upon the
values of salt Goldfish and salt mack
crel. Many people think eggs nutri-
tious. If investigators like Atwater
know anything about it, their nutri-
tive power is only one eighth that of
common white beans, which he ranks
next to pork and cornmeal.
Vegetarians, however, may get
some consolation from Prof. Atwater.
The vegetables and cereals, he insists,
are not only the cheapest, but much
higher in fuel values than flesh foods.
Starchy vegetables and cereals, how
