son arrived from New Jersey. this morn

leaders waiting for Mr.. BTyan's arrival
IN an interview, he said:
1T was the first time ever stopped in
Jersey. 1 was there once before years ago,
but did not stop of anywhere. II the sen
timent of those with whom I have talked
in South JERSEY is fairly representative
Of the sentiment Of the State, see no rea-
son why the ten electoral votes of New
Jersey should not be cast for Bryan.
Everywhere I have been it was said
that Gold Democrats of 1895 were with
Bryan this year. I have talked with
many of them myself and am forced TO
regard New Jersey as either for the Dem
ocratic ticket or at least doubtful. I am
certainly very much pleased with my trip
in New Jersey"

down by three masked men, who forced
the engineer and fireman to uncoupie the

about two miles from the remainder of
the train The robbers then commanded
the messenger to open the door of his
car, and, failing to get any response,
made Fireman Love break hole in the
end with coal pick. While this was be-

ger and baggagemaster not te shoot. The
messenger, who was well protected by q
barricade. said he would kill the first man
to enter the hole. Love was forced in,
and the messenger shouted: Get aside,

shot just missed the robbers, who under

She pleaded that she was a working girl,

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister at
Washington, when asked about the dis
patches from China, in regard to the up
rising OF the Boxers" said: That looks
serious These Boxers have arisen since
/ left China. Taku, the port nearest
Tien-Tsin fit for deep7draft vessels, has
been used before by foreign men-of-war
in time of trouble. 1t is easy from that
point to dispatch marines to Tien-Tsin,
should they be needed for the protection
of any foreigners"
American and other foreign guards,
numbering 349 arrived in the midst of
the. Dragon festival. The streets were
unusually crowded, and, though the peo-
pie were greatly interested in the unusual
spectacle, no manifestation of hostility
was made. The presence of the guards
has already mad a marked effect upon
the bearing of the Chinese toward for
eigners. The exeitem2at in thea Adjacent
country has ben riuch ailayed, but many
Christian refugees are Still iocking into
Pekin. The Boxers" are evidently NOV
ing 5held. Unfortunately no leaders OF
the Boxers have been arrested, though
their capture would have been easy. All
the Government has done has been to
occupy the scenes Of the disturbances,
and no real repressive measures have
been taken. AT Pao Teng Flu Thursday
thirty foreigners, including six ladies and
one child, who were escaping in boats to
| Tien-Tsin, were attacked by a force of
! 700 Boxers, with rifles and spears. The
foreigners defended themselves but had
little ammunition. Four of the Europeans
