upon every important question In the
Senate be is found voting with Sena.
tors Jones, Martin, Vest and all the
other true blue democratic Senators.
He claims to be a strong Bryan man.
But after he l. ayes here and goes back
to North Carolina. a change comes over
the spirit of his dreams, and he affili-
ates with the republicans, and does
every thing he can to defeat the demo-
cratic party at the coming State cleo
ton there, and thereby to injure Bry-
ans chance of carrying that State in
November. With full power in the
populist State convention he nomi-
mates two populists for State electors
in opposition to the democratic electors
already in the field; he advocates and
secures the nomination of Cy Thomp-
son for Governor against Aycock, the
democratic candidate; he takes the
stump and denounces the democratic
candidates and is cheek by jowl with
Pritchard, his republican colleague,
and Is making bitter speeches against
the proposed amendment to the State
constitution to keep the illiterate negro
voters there from having control OF
many counties and even districts OF
that State, and is forming fusion with
the negroes all over the State, with the
hope OF securing his reelection to the
U. s. Senate. He does all this, and yet
claims to be Bryan democrat. He is
essaying the old Malone game in Vir-
ginia, but he will not succeed.
Lukewarm republicans, many OF
whom are now here, say some OF the
strongest men in their party are 80 much
opposed to the new republican policy
that they will give the Philadelphia
ticket no support, and really hope it
will be defeated. Among the most
prominent republicans they allude to
are ex-Speaker Reed and ex President
Harrison, the first of whom, they say,
privately ridicules both the ticket and
the platform, and the latter doesn't
hesitate to predict publicly the loss Of
his own State, and to say that the
democrats will receive larger vote
throughout the country than they did
four years ago, and that the republican
party now is not managed as it should
be.
James Z. Boyd, of North Carolina,
at present Assistant Attorney General,
has been appointed Judge for the West
ern district of North Carolina. BE re-
ceived his commission from Canton,
Ohio, this morning and will qualify
about the 10th Of July. Judge Ewart
OF North Carolina was twice appointed
to this position but the Senate refused
10 confirm him.
A belated dispatch with no signature
attached but which Is believed to have
baen sent by Admiral Kemphf, was re-
ceived this morning by the Secretary
of the Navy as follows:
Taku, July 2.
drummer from Pekin reports German
troops burnt the Tsung-l Ysmen. Chi.
uese moved many field guns on the
wall commanding legations, Chinese
subjects advised leave legations. Run.
uer heard heavy firing in Pekin after
leaving the city"
This dispatch was received this
morning via Siberia and under date of
Nsgssaki. japan. 1t is supposed that
Admiral Kempf sent it from Taku by .
steamer or war vessel touching at that
point.
Secretary of War Root Is authority
for the statement that 1t is not the pres
ent intention of the government to send
any more United States troops to China.
When those already under orders to
proceed there arrive, the United States
will have force of II, 500 men on
Chinese soil. This the President has
decided is sufficient and fully &c large
contribution to the strength of the
allied powers as the United States
should be called upon to make in view
of her comparatively small interest in
China. Russia, Japan, Great Britain,
France and Germany have large terri.
torial interests there and the President
believes that the brupt OF the task of
restoring order should fall upon these
powers. The United States has no in
terests there, but the desire to protect
it's commerce and the lives OF its
people. Under these circumstances
the troops already ordered to China
are thought to be enough to properly
represent the United States, and Secretary
Boot positively denies the published state.
IN ent that two more regiments are to be
sent from the Philippines TO China.
At democratic headquarters here today 1t
is said that every one of the alleged recruits
the republicans are reported to have received
so far and whom they are making so much
ado over, deserted the democratic party four
years ago, and has never acted with ii since.
But that letters are received there daily from
various sections of the country, stating that
people who have heretofore acted with the
republicans have already announced that
they will do 80 no longer, on sccount of its
trusts and imperialism.
