indianapolis, July 13.-Mr. Samuel
p. Morss, Indiana member OF the
resolutions committee at the national
Democratic convention. in a signed in
terview makes the following explana-
ton of how there came to be no income
tax plank in the national Democratic
platform. He says:
"The platform as adopted by the
committee on resolutions of the Kan
sas City convention contained a decla-
ration in favor of the adoption of con-
stitutional amendments authorizing an
income tax and providing for the cleo
ton Of United States senators by the
people No objection was made to
this resolution, and / am convinced
that the omission was. the result Of an
oversight. due to the haste with which
the subcommittee was Obliged to act
to put the platform as unanimously
agreed upon in shape TO be submitted

declaration for the income tax was

The Worst Is Believed to
Have Happened
PRINCE TUAN LED THE ATTACKS
II Is Said That The Streets Around
Legations We're Filled With
the Dead

London. July 13.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of The Daily Mail says the
Following story regarding the position
In Pekin emanates from Chinese official
sources.
The two remaining legations, the
British and Russian. We're attacked in
force on the evening of July 6, Prince
Iuan being In command. The attack
commenced with artillery flghting.
which was severe. and lasted until z
o'clock In the morning, by which time
both legations were destroyed and all
the foreigners were dead, while the
streets around the legations were full
OF the dead bodies Of both foreigners
and Chinese.
Upon hearing OF the attack Prince
ching and Gen. Wang Wen Shao went
with troops TO the assistance OF the
foreigners. but they were outnumbered
ana defeated. Both Prince Ching and
Gen. Wang Wen Shao were killed.
Two foreigners are said to have es-
capped through the gates, one with a
heavy sword wound In his head.
Prince Tuan, in celebration OF the
victory, distributed 100000 taels and
huge quantities Of rice to the Boxers"
terrible veil OF silence enshrouds
Pekin, and there is nobody but believes
the worst has happened. II is taken for
granted that all of the powers have ex-
hausted every means TO get direct news
from their legations. and the fact that
their efforts have been vain leaves but
one Interpretation.
The Chinese representative In Berlin
denies the statement that Ii Hung
Chang had sent him a hopeful tele-
gram. He says that, on the contrary,
no direct telegram has been received
by him from Ii Hung Chang for some
time past.
The days news Is again restricted to
the usual crop OF untrustworthy Shang-
hal rumors. the most serious OF which.
reported by the correspondent OF The
Express, is 10 the effect that Europeans
are directing the Chinese military op-
erations. The correspondent asserts
that Captain Bailey, OF III. NJ. S. Auro-
IA, distinctly saw a man in European
garb directing the Chinese artillery
operations outside of Tien Tsin.
Foreign refugees from Tien Tsin
openly accuse a European official.

who was formerly employed TO drill
the Chinese troops, of being parties to
plot 10 procure the escape OF Gen.
Chang and themselves from Tien Tsin

other foreigners TO their fate.
Statements are ina circulation in
Shanghai accusing the Russians OF IN
discriminate slaughter Of friendly Chi
nese non-combatants. without regard
to age or sex. The manager OF a Chi
nese steamship company who has ar
rived In Shanghai asserts that he only
escaped from Tien Tsin by cutting OF
his queue and donning European
clothes II is stated that the taotai of
Shanghai protested to the powers
against these Russian slaughters.

SURPRISED BY THE BOERS,
BRITONS SUFFER DEFEAT
Two Hundred Soldiers Captured Near Pretoria and the
Beers Are Making Concerted Attempts to Re-
capture The TranSVaaI Capital

London, July 13.-Lord Roberts dis
patch reporting still another unfor-
tunate occurrence throws a serious
light upon the state of affairs in South
Africa. There has been some COM
meut recently regarding the virtual alb
sence Of progress by the immense army
under command Of Lord Roberts, but
few could have been found to believe
that scattered Beers were able to in
flict such a defeat so near Pretoria.
Instead of the surrender Of all OF the
remaining Beers being imminent, as
recent kilograms had limited, Il seems
they have been making a concerted at
tempt to surround or recapture Pre-
toria, with so much success that in the
region which was supposed to be paci-
fed, and in which no attack was ex-
pected. they succeeded in innicting a
serious defeat and capturing two guns
and some 200 men.
It is evident that Gen. Botha has
considerable force, seeing that he is
able to press Lord Roberts lines at a
half dozen points around Pretoria,
from the Springs to the southeast of
the city, northward to Middleburg and

Arb HOT ON TRAIN
WRBCKERN TRAIL
Arrested Suspect Gives VAL
uable Information TO
Chester Police

Officer Modem. Of Chester, has made
an arrest in the train wrecl1lng case.
and his prisoner has furnished some
valuable information to the Pennsvl-
Vania police and probably put them on
the track Of the outlaws. The prisoner
gives his name as w. l.. Smith and his
age as IS years.
OFFICER Modem has the beat in the
eastern end of the Fifth ward. and
while his brother officers were search
ing in the territory north of the city he
saw by the light of the moon a figure
moving down Morton avenue. IL was
a suspicious hour for man to be tray
cling through the town, and he sudden
ly confronted the traveller and demand
ed his reason for being on the street at
that time. The man said he lived at
Wilmington, N. c., and that he was on
his way home.
Il guess you had better stay with US
till morning" said the policeman, and
he took the man down to the City Hall.
SMITH TELLS HIS STORY.
Smith says that he was caught by a
gang Of eight men near Folsom on the
night before the wreck. They robbed
him Of all the money he had, which
was about SS, then left him.
Smith says that as soon as the gang
had gone he started towards Chester,
and il was while he was walking
through the eastern end of the city that
Officer Modem saw him and arrested
him
The police do not believe that Smith
is one Of the wreckers, but that he was
accidentally thrown with the gang that
did the business. If he can identity
some of the men who relieved him of
his money, it is believed that the police
Will be very close to the men who
wrecked the train.
The gang spent the night in one of
their haunts near Folsom and the
whole crowd started out about mid
night, according to the statement of
Smith. The train was wrecked at
daylight, which now comes very early
in the morning.
