allies reach Tung Chow they will find Pelin deserted city ahead of them, as it was recalled that these tactics of with drawal had occurred in 1860 when the Brit ish-French expedition reached Tung Chow.
 The message of the French Minister at Pekin, M. Pinchon to the French Foreign Office was at first regarded here as identi- cal with the last Conger message, which the State Department has not made pub lic But without disclosing the nature of the Conger message the officials made su1- ficient comparison between the Pinchon and Conger messages to show that they were not identical in language or general state- ment. On the contrary, 1t was not clear that each Minister was forwarding to his government his own advices on the situa- ton and that there had been no consulta- tion between the Ministers before these two dispatches were forwarded. While the messages are not alike, it is understood that they agree on considerable of the in formation contained.
 The arrival of President Mckinley tomor- row is looked upon with great interest in view of the gravity of the crisis The Presidential party will be here tomorrow morning, and an extended conference be- tween the President Secretary Root, Act ing Secretary Adee and others is likely to occur early in the day. This probably will assume the aspect of Cabinet conference If indeed it is not felt desirable to hold a special Cabinet meeting. The regular meet ing day of the Cabinet is on Friday, at which time there will be further oppor- tunity of going over the Chinese develop ments.

Indianapolis, Ind, August 15.-The first days sessions of the liberty congress Of the National Ant-Imperalistic League were somewhat disappointing so far as the attendance of delegates was concerned. About three hundred accredited delegates were present, and more promised for tomorrow. In spite of the small attend ance, the speeches of Edwin Burritt Smith, temporary chairman, and George s. Bout well, the permanent president, brought forth much enthusiasm. The public meet ing in the evening much better at tended, and the reading of Bourke Cock ran's letter was the signal for tremendous applause.
 But the greatest demonstration of the convention far came in the afternoon, when the venerable George s. Boutwell,, cx-Governor of Massachusetts and Secre- tary of the Treasury in the Cabinet of Pres ident Grant, concluded his address as per manent chairman with the declaration that he had turned his back on the Republican party and would support Bryan for Presi- dent. The delegates rose in their seats and gave the ex-Governor an ovation that lasted several minutes.
 Haii Eu,borateiy Decorated
 Tomlinson Hall was claborately decor ated with American flags and with DOT traits of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Thomas Hendricks and Oliver P. Morton. There were two large banners containing excerpts from the speeches of Abraham Lincoln and three contain parts of the Behold a Republic,' peroration of MT. Bryan's Indianapolis speech of acceptance. Swung directly over the speakers platform was an immense banner with the following irscriptions:

ALLIED FORCES HAVE
 NOW REACHED PEKIN
The Report Comes from Shanghai and is Accepted With Considerable Reserve.
 Russia n Action Causes Discord.

London, August 16, $50 a. m.-"The all lies are reported to have reached Pekin Monday" says the Shanghai correspond ent of the Daily Express, wiring yester- day. He adds: Chinese official news con- firms this statement, but without details"
 A Paris message repeats this, but the statement especially as it emanated from Shanghai must be accepted with consid- erable reserve. Other London morning papers, passing their remarks upon Wash ington dispatches, which, with the excep- tion of the foregoing from Shanghai, form the latest news regarding the advance are divided in opinion, some believing that the allies must already have reached Pekin and others preferring to believe that the relief will not be accomplished until the end of the week.
 Telegraphing from Yang Tsun August 6, Daily News correspondent says:
 "Sir Alfred Gasalee hopes to keep the ene- my running and to run him right into Pe- kin."
 Ngan Ping was occupied without firing a shot, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express from that place, dated August Il. "It is believed' the message adds that Generals Tung Fun Slang, Ma and Chung are intrenchng 10000 strong at Tung Chow. The allies may avoid Tung Chaw, pursuing the route northwest from Chang I<ai Wan"
 Tung Chow appears to be about thirteen miles from Pekin. A dispatch to the same paper from Shanghai, dated yesterday, says that the officials profess to be willing to hand over the foreign ministers, their fami- lies and servants, but not permit the de- parture of native Christians.
 "The Russian government, continues this telegram, has notified Lii Hung Chang of it's willingness to receive M. De- Giers outside the walls of PelSin, thus avoiding the entrance of the Russian force This independent action is calculated to embarrass the allies seriously. Japan de- mands that General Yung Lu shall meet the allies outside the city gates and deliver the Ministers and all the native Christ ians.
 The Chinese Minister in London, Sir Chin Chen Lo Feng Lu, is quoted as say ing:
 "The DOW CTS must not press too hard on Pekin. If you defeat the Chinese soldiers it will not be possible to control the sold iery. They may turn and rend the Lega- tons. I do not believe the Legation food supply will be stopped as long as the pow CTS refrain from attacking Pekin and ne- gotiatons for the surrender of the Minis terS,"

UNIFORM JOINT
 SEAL |S WANTED

Milwaukee, Wis, August 15.-At today's session of the International Typographical Union a committee on tripartite agreement was appointed. The object in view is the adoption of uniform joint seal of the In- ternational Printing Pressmen and Assist ants Union, the international Bookbinders and the International Typographical Union.
 The forenoon was taken up in further consideration of the report of the commit tee on laws. The most important proposi- tion adopted calls for the preparation and sale by the secretary-treasurer to sub- ordinate unions, through the proper officers at face value equal to the monthly per capita tax of the International Typograph- ical Union, adhesive stamps and working cards with stamps of equal value printed thereon to be known as international dues stamps and working cards. By this sys- tenn the standing of individual members will always be known and rights will be accorded to conform with the showing in dicated by the working card or stamps in possession of the various members.

Selma, August 15-(Special. )-Sidney J. Bowie of Calhoun today nominated by exclamation to represent the Fourth Con- gressional District in the national House of Representatives.
 The convention was called to order this morning at 10 o'clock by R. E. L. Mel, chairman pro tenn of the District Execu- tive Committee, who, after felicitating the convention on the recent victory of t,.s party in the State, said:
 'It was meet that in this year of promise for the Democracy that the convention should assemble in this county to name standard bearer who should lead the hosts to an overwhelming victory in November, for be it remembered that in sunshine or in storm old Dallas, like the needle of the mariners compass to the pole, is ever true; that but one music Is ever heard within her bounds, and in its mingled harmosas there is no strain, but songs of loyalty; that whether following the fortunes of her own son or aiding in the welfare of some other country's progeny, but one impulse actuates her citizens, and that was the suc- cess of the party that had made possible the triumph of the Caucasian race and elevated to power men with straight fair skin and arched instep."
 He then introduced Hon. A. L. Mcleod, who had been chosen by the committee to preside over the deliberations of the con veption as temporary chairman. Messrs. Thomas Caruth of Cleburne and W. B. Newman of Talladega were named as tenn porary secretaries.
 Resolutions making the temporary or ganization permanent and providing an order of business were presented by MT. J. K Dixon and adopted.
 Bowie's Name in Nomination J. H. King of Calhoun, in a very elo- ouent manner, put in nomination Hon. Syd- ney J. Bowie. Hon. A. D. Pitts of Dallas put in nomination Hon. John F. Burns Jf Dallas, stating that at the meeting of the

 George c. Mercer of Philadelphia called the convention to order, presenting Edwin Burritt Smith of Chicago as temporary chairman.
 Professor A. H. Holman of the University of Chicago read the Declaration of Inde- pendence. Rev. Herbert s. Bigelow of Gin cinnati invoked divine blessing on the de- Alterations of the body, after which MT Smith delivered his address.
 Aftes d short recess for luncheon the con- vention met again at 2:30 Chairman Smith called for short addresses from delegates. Those who responded were Dr. w. A. Crofut of Washington; General John Beat ty of Columbus, O.; Judge Moses Hallett of Denver, Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago, and Gamaiiel Bradford of Boston. Dr. Croffut said he had long been a Republican, but would support Bryan. He presented to the convention the regrets of General William Birney and ex-Senator John B. Hender- son of Washington, and Senator George l.. Wellington of Maryland.
 General Beatty Aroused Enthusiasm
 General Beatty aroused most enthusiasm by his remarks.
 "I have been a Republican for fifty years,' he said, "and propose to continue a, Republican until die. I pray that God will forgive me for voting for Mckinley in 1Sa6. l did not think that he would turn his back upon the eternal principles of the republic. If Cleveland or Reed or Bryan had been President there would have been no war in the Philippines; no butch cry of inoffensive Christian people; no deaths of brave American soldiers there; but our flag would now have been hailed with acclaim by a new republic"
 Judge lHallett of Colorado said his State was sure to go for Bryan, whatever the action of the convention.
 Edgar A. Bancroft said:
