New Government for
China advocated.
Views of Business men In
Treaty Ports.

A despatch from Shanghai to
New York states that the foreigners
and commercial men there and all
Of the treaty ports are Of the opinion
that the Chinese government has
been wrecked beyond repair, and
that the only solution for the exis-
ting anarchy will be the establish
ment of new government controlled
by the civilized nations. Attempts
to restore the Empress on the basis
of her foreordained promise of good
behavior would make the position of
the foreigners worse than ever.
A popular plan is the restoration
of the Emperor if found alive. With
liberal advisers he could be held
subject to strict supervision by some
council representing the foreign
powers. The personal punishment
of the highest officials concerned in
the anti-foreign movement is consi-
dered essential.
Interest is focused on Russia and
America. 1t is the universal belief
that Russia instigated the rioting,
expecting to march an army to Pekin
and proclaim herself protector OF
China under the guise Of restoring
order, but the scheme ended in a
fiasco on account of the prompt ac-
ton Of the other powers. America,
which it is considered holds the key
to the solution because of being
beyond suspicion Of land-grabbing
motives, is in the best position to
take the lead in making proposals
for a permanent arrangement.
There is practical Anglo.Amer.
ican alliance in China. The COM
mercial organizations of each nation
are urging their respective govern.
ments to hurry more troops. The
presence of enough soldiers to enforce
the demands upon China, besides
being a cneck to the ambitions of
rival powers. is deemed vital. There
is an insufficient number Of English
troops available to protect the inte.
rests at stake in the treaty ports.
The English and Americans conf.
dently expect that several regiments
will be sent from the Philippines
without delay.
No confidence is expressed in LII
Hung Chang, who is expected to
follow whatever policy is likely to
result in his personal aggrandize.

The Democratic
Platform.

Our cable dispatches of yesterday
give us a synopsis of the platform
adopted by the Democratic Party of
the Unites States in National Conv.
ention at Kansas City, Missouri. The
Republicans having already adopted
q platform at Philadelphia, this
completes the issue between the two
great American parties. Each pre-
sents a statement of its principles s
and the policy it advocates, to the
voter of the United States and asks
him to decide by the ballot next
November between it and its rival.
1t says to him. "Here is what we
believe in, here is our theory OF gov
eminent, there is what the other
party believes in, there Is what it
has done-choose betsceen usl
:" AS has been said OF the Republi.
can Platform, that of the Democra-
tic Party presents few striking fea.
lures. 1t is practically the old plat
form over again with the exception
of the new planks added to show the
ground it takes on the questions
which grew out of the war. And
as to these, sCith the exception of
Porto Rico, there is but little prac.
tical difference between the declara.
tions Of the Democratic platform
and those of the Republican.
According to the synopsis sent us
by cable the Democratic Convention
declares in favor of "granting indie
pendence to the Philippine Islands
under tho Protectorate of the Ame.
rican Government
The Republican Platform declares
that ''the largest measure of self
government consistent with their
sselfare and our duties, will be secu.
red to them by law"
After careful analysis OF these
two declarations, it will be found
that they are not really SO very far
apart
And, again, as to Cuba. The
Democratic platform demands the
fulfllment of the Nations promise
of independence to Cuba and that
this sacred pledge sail be redeemed
without delay.n)
The Republican declaration is:-
'eTo Cuba Independence and self
government we're assured in the same
veice by which war was declared,
and to the letter this pledge shall be
performed
There is no great difference in
these two planks.
The Democrats, however, take
direct issue with Republican leeis
lation in reference to Porto Rico
holding that it is in violation Of ths
Constitution of the United States,
SC.
In rsafirming the silver plank o
1896 the democrats make a direcl
and plain issue with Republican pc
icy, but as this question is M
longer . live one, especially in visw
Of the gold standard law passed al

as, even if successful in the coming
elections, Bryan as President coult

silver, in view of the assured hostile
majority to him in Congress, it is
not probable that this issue will re.
ceive much serious consideration.
But the fight is new on, the Issues
are made up, the campaign has
commenced, and the result will not
be Known until tho votes are count
ed in November.

with a fun load of sugar and mutt

ready for sea six of the men refused
duty.
The tugboat Fearless went along
side to put the line aboard and Cap
tain Saunders of the St Katherine

kaw that six OF his men refused duty
but that he was going to sea just the
same He and his mates and the cook
