NINNEAPoLIs, June 2I.-The demo
cratic state convention today was one OF
the largest and most harmonious held by
the party i'll this state for years. Charles
A. Towne of Duluth, populst candidate
for vice president, was given the heartiest
kind of endorsement, and the delegates
to the Kansas City convention were in
structed to support him by their votes
and by every honorable means On the
floor of the convention this resolution was
adopted without a dissenting vote. The
platform reaffirns allegiance to the doc
trine of free silver coinage at "the exist
ing legal ratio On this plank there was
some dissention in committee, one or two
members suggesting it might be better to
haye financial plank. The resolutions
further declare against trusts and demand
that trust articles be placed upon the free
list; express sympathy with the Beers,
demand independence for Cuba, repeal
of war tax; favor postal savings banks;
favor an income tax, election of United
States senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie and the system Of the initiative and
referendum. The present national adj
ministration is denounced. The conven-
ton was warm in its allegiance to Will
liam Jennings Bryan and Governor John
Lind.
The following delegates at large were
selected. p H. Winston r. B. O'Brien,
l.. o. Rosing and A. {. Baldwin.

Are the Legations Safe?

LONDON. June 2I.-The reports of Ad-'
miral Seymour's arrival at Peking and of
the safety of the foreign legations, orig
mating from Chinese sources, and cabled
to this city from Shanghai, are still un-
verified. However, the Italian consul at
Shanghai has wired to the Italian foreign
minister, Marquis Viscount Venasti, that
the legations are safe.
The rebellion is spreading far and wide.
There is an impression in diplomatic cir
oles here and on the continent that the
allies have not grappled with the situa
ton effectively, and even $4,000 foreign
troops would be powerless to do much to
control a 1000, 900 square miles.

hal gossips is that Prince. .Tuan, president

Great Britain, Italy Japan and the

proving the situation. He says that
Pekin is much quieter, but that the box

country
1t is limited in diplomatic circles here
that the sudden increase of activity on
the part of the boxers is nothing more
than part of the well-conceived plan by
one of the great European powers TO Sc
cure permanent lodgment in Pekin, and
to seize position giving it full control of
the great Pei Ho River, the approach to
the Chinese capital. It is further inti-
mated that the plan has proved abortive,
owing to the alertness of the other Eu-
ropean powers represented in Chinese
waters, particularly to the readiness of
the United States Minister, Mr.. Conger.
and the American Rear Admiral on board
the Newark which at once gave the
movement ar undesired international
aspect, and so tended to prevent the par

personalities Much of the discussion was
of political nature, although in them

essentially political.
Soon after the Senate convened me-
mortal was presented from the people
of California asking that the Government
provide some relief for the starving peo-
pie of India. Mr.. Hale, of Maine, with
this as text severely arraigned Great
Britain for eXpending hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in crushing liberty and
freedom in South Africa instead of caring
for the helpless and dying people of

Mr.. Aldrich, Of Rhode Island. charged
Mr. Hale with making political speeches
on irrelevant matters. and little later
when Mr.. Hale reported a further dis
agreement on the Naval Appropriation
Bill, IN exciting discussion arose over
the armor plate question. A sharp poll
