| 7 HUNG CHANG is FORCED
TO REMAIN IN CANTON

New York, June PA dispatch to the
Herald from Canton says:
While the general situation here is
unchanged. an uneasy feeling prevails.
An imperial mandate from Pekin di-
reefs viceroy Ii Hung Ching to remain
in Canton for the present. An uprising
is feared in case of his departure.
The numerous daily criminal execu-
tons by order of the viceroy show his
realization of the serious condition of
affairs and his firm intention to pre-
vent trouble. He is threatened by the
mob with assassination if he should
leave the city.
Well to do residents have offered Ii
Hung Chang 5,000se00 taels $S,500000)
for the purpose of organizing munich
pal guards in the city. The viceroy

JONES Is AGAINST
SPECIFYING Is TO [

Kansas City, June Ex-senator Jones
of Arkansas, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, arrived in
Kansas City tonight, and in a brief
interview stated that he did not think
a specific Is to l silver declara lion was
necessary if the Chicago platform was
adopted.
He was asked the direct question if
a specific declaration would be made If
the Chicago platform was adopted, and
replied with question:
Would not the TeaffirmatiOn of the
Chicago platform be reaffirmatien or
Is to ] ? 1 think it would be.
He then added with deliberation; I
do not think anything will be adopted
bv this convention that will be a de-
Walton so much as the breadth of
hair from the principles laid down in
the Chicago platform. A reaffirmatiOn
of that platform will mean the adop-
ton of every word and letter IN 1t, IN
Guiding the IS to 1 declaration.
Il do not believe that a reiterauon
of that plank or any other is necessary
to make plain our position. If 1t is
necessary to reState the 16 to 1 pro-
vision it would be equally necessary 10
restate that relating to the supreme
court, government by injunction, the
! revenue tax and every other DrOVIS-
! ion: for if we should single out one
provision only and specify it. there
might be a claim that we did not mean
/ to indorse the other features IN re-
/ affirming the Chicago platform.
IF the convention readopts the Chi
( cago platform it will mean that every
! syllable is adopted. do not know just
what form the Endorsement will take
but it will mean everything it says.
Just at this point some one broke II
with question as to whether or no'
persons who did not support the Chi
| cago platform could support the Kan
sas City platform if it should reaff1rm
the former.
Pm not the keeper of the con-
sciences of such people and cannot tel
what they will do replied Senator
I Jones.
The senator said he did not know
| whether Mr. Bryan was coming Il
Kansas City and he did not expect t
go 20 Lincoln for the present.

presidency he replied that he did no
know who would be nominated and haC
no intimation as TO the favorite. TIT

Headquarters of the Associated
Press. Kansas City, Mo, June 29.-The
running mate" problem is as conspic-
uous as it was at Philadelphia and at
this distance the guessing is fully as in

didates, and one does not hear SO much
about declarations as there was among
the Republicans. Aggressive men are
Sulzer of New York and Towne of
Minnesota, while the names in the
background for basis of speculation,
include such men as Benjamin F..
Shiveley of Indiana and Judge A. B.
Parker of New York. The belief is gen
eral that some kind of an endorsement
from Colonel Bryan would be sufficient
to name the candidate. but it will be a
bold man who will dare to proclaim
that any one particular candidate is
the choice of the man already deter
mined for president.

Fred Williams, member of the national
committee and delegate to the Demo-
cratic convention from Massachusetts.
arrived in Kansas City today. Mr..
Williams has been among those men
toned as a possible vice presidential
candidate. but he says that having
pronounced views and not being afraid
to express them makes it impossible
for him to be considered in this con-
nection. He is by far the most breezy
and unreserved man that has yet ap-
reared here. and he talks on every
phase OF the situation, without, how
ever. committing himself or the New
England delegates upon the vice Dresi-
Dental situation. save to say that he
believes that Towne would be the
strongest man that could be named
with Bryan.

avoided what is really captain duty,

therefore being Inundated below his

Then Rear Adnnirals Day (No. 10,

in possession of the exceedingly deSir

would presumably decline an appoint

refused but he astOnished the depart

offering to sail the next day. The de-
partment had TO make the best of the
matter and therefore put Captain Nc
Gala, one of the most brilliant men in
the navy in command of Kempff' S

that might develop. Until McGalla

Court of Inquiry Likely.
The failure to participate with the
other admirals in taking the Taku
forts will require a clear explanation
from Admiral Kempff as soon as the
! present crisis permits a court of in
! curry. Not one of the dispatches sent
4 by the admiral in the last two weeks
1 is clear in essentials. Superf1uous words
| are common, and in several instances
| single words have been omitted which
would have been of great value to the
I government. Last Sunday Admiral
4 Remey was ordered to go to Nagasaki
and coal the Brooklyn and be ready to
relieve Kempff. Monday he was or
/ dered to proceed Immediately to TakU

Brooklyn left Manila on Tuesday and
will reach Taku Sunday. and from
that day the authorities will breathe

Lincoln, Neb., June 29.-The vice
presidential boom of Congressman
Sulzer of New York received local i'm
petus today with the arrival of that
gentleman in Lincoln.
Mr.. Sulzer came on the morning train
and remained until late tonight.
He said his mission was to talk with
Mr.. Bryan on matters pertaining to
the success of the Democratic party,
and continued:
Il have no higher ambition in poll
tics than to see Mr.. Bryan president
and 1 VIII gladly subordinate all my
ambitions to bring that about.
Il am not seeking the vice presi-
Dental nomination. A number of my
friends have interested themselves in
my behalf and I understand they are
working for me at Kansas City.
I have had a pleasant day with Mr..
Bryan and can say that in a general
way we discussed subjects rela-
tive to the success Of the party in the
pending campaign.
1.-THE platform adopted at Kansas
City will affirm the one adopted at
Chicago with strong additional planks
on the issues that have arisen since
1896.
I am not in favor of the least modi-
| fication of the money plank of the
/ platform of four years ago.
THE leaders of our state feel quite

REMEY NFARS TAKU TO TAKE
COFlFlAND, DISPLAYING kE1PFF

Washington, D. c.. June 29.-The
navy department was also advised this
morning that Admiral Remey on the
Brooklyn has arrived at Hong Kong,
en- route to Taku.
The Brooklyn will sail tomorrow for
Taku, Nagasaki.
New York, June PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Admiral Remey is expected to re-
lieve Admiral Kempff next Sunday and
send him to Nagasaki or Che Foo. Of
fetal dissatisfaction with Admiral
Kempff has been displayed frankly by
all the authorities here.
The necessity for Admiral Kempff' s
speedy detachment, it is said at the
navy department, has been apparent
ever since it was learned that Flag
Captain McCalla had gone to the front
with Vice Admiral Seymour's column,
for it was we'll known to officials that
without McCalla's constant advice the
American senior naval officer could not
be depended upon to meet grave emer-
gencies involving discretion of a high
order. Kempff has always been re-
garded as one Of the finest sailors in
the service and as good a fighter as
ever commanded a ship, but he was
never proficient in diplomatic matters
and was declared to be Unsuited to rep
resent the United States at a gather
ing of the great naval powers on the
most important duty that has fallen
to any officer since the war with Spain.
Presence is an Accident.
The idea that Kempff was sent to
Asia on account of special fitness was
demolished at the time he went. His
orders were simply the result of an
effort in the navy department to induce
him to go on the retired list voluntar-
lily and make a vacancy for promo
tions all along the line. Admiral Remey
was chosen for senior command in Asia
on account of his special fitness.
After Admiral Remey, who was No.
on the admiraFs list, was ordered to
Asia last March, Admiral Mccormack
No. Is on the same list, was ordered
as second in command. He promptly
retired, ss he was expected to do. He

Yeutna to the KeechitnO, Leaving this
river the party proceeded over the
Alaskan range west of Mt. Mckinley
to the KuskOkium; down that river
to the Tanana, and down the Tanana
to Fort Gibbon. which lies at it's juno
ton with the Yukon.
Colonel E. j. Wiggin, land commits
sioner at Rampant, is also among the

proved itself far better this winter
than ever before, and the creeks here
tofore considered worthless have
turned out to be big gold producers.
He estimates the cleanup at 81, 900, 600.

Washington, June 29-Relative to
the interesting story that an interna-
tional accord has been arrived at as
to the pro tempore settlement of the
Chinese trouble, state department Of
ficials say that while the United States
is not a party to such an agreement,
if the European powers and Japan
have come to an understanding on the
basis set out. the result should be well
coined by all who have no selfish de-
signs to satisfy.
It is of course not possible to predict
accurately what attitude the United
States would assume officially towards
such a combination, nor whether the
government could be induced to enter
into the combination agreement except
with some special reservations made
necessary by a desire to preserve the
unbroken traditions of the United
States in its relations with foreign ma
tions.
