The names. 1t is added. are withheld pend
Ing a confirmation OF the report.
1t Is further rumored here that the in
ternational relief parties are experiencing
great difficulties in regard to provisions
and water. IL is believed that the delay
has been caused by the fear that the force
was insufficient TO overcome the oppose
ton that might be encountered and thus
precipstate a massacre at the capital. II Is
added that the Japanese have sent two
more cruisers and have landed three hum
dred additional troops.
A telegram received from Yunnan-Fu
says that the English and French missions
there have been burned and that the for
eign residents have taken refuge I'm the
viceroy's residence. The trouble, this dis
patch says, is reported 10 be due to French
i~ntrigues. Another report says the build
fngs of the China inland mission were
partially destroyed and those of the Ro-
man Catholic and Bible Christian missions
were utterly demolished. All the mission
aries are safe.
Still another special dispatch from Shang-
hal says the position Of the legations at
Peking Is most critical. According TO this
dispatch 10000 Chinese troops are drawn
up outside the gates OF the city to oppose
the relief force. and guns are trained on
the American, British and Japanese lega-
lions The American. Russian and Japan
csc ministers have sent couriers to Tien-
Tsin asking for two thousand troops Of
each nationality. The United States gun
boats Yorktown and Castine left yester-
day fer Tong-Ku- There is no foreign war
ship now here. A Russian ~troopship
passed up the Yang-Tse on Wednesday.
IL was reported that her troops were TO be
landed at Hankow, but the Russian Of
fciaIs at Shanghai explain that the trans
port has merely gone TO Hankow to load
for Odessa and the troops on board are
time-expired men on their way home"
Other advices from Shanghai. dated to-
day, say: "A report has reached here that
the British, American and japanese minis
tiers in Picking favor the restoration of
Emperor Kwang Hsu. but that the French
and Russian ministers insist upon the pow
ers taking charge of China. II is further
reported that the respective divisions of the
country nave already been assigned. The
belief is that the withdrawal of the British
ships from the Yang-Tse Kiang is an in
dication of Great Britain's disclaimer of
the sphere theory.
Later reports from Tien-Tsin confirm
the news of the burning of the japanese
legation, but the rumor that a minister has
been murdered is not confirmed. Fifteen
hundred Russians, with four guns, have
arrived outside of Tien-Tsin. This makes
1000 Russians who have landed.
1T is regarded as certain that the JAP
anese government will take active steps
concerning the murder CT the chancellor OF
the japanese legation.
Tn consequence of a disturbance at
Chee-Foo the German flagship and III. NJ.
8. Phoenix have returned there. Chinese
desperadoes at Quin-San, forty miles from
Shanghai have seized three steam launches
and treated the passengers practically"

Political Orphans.
Boston TRANSCRIPT.

bOsOOH ITdnSCTIpt-
Mr.. Z. c. Benedict is a political orphan.
His case is pathetic. and yet Mr.. Benedict
will not want by reason OF his orphaned
condition. Neither will il be necessary for
any charitably disposed third party TO
adopt Mr.. Benedict TO make him comfort
able for the rest of his days. His position
is simply that of many other men once
powerful in the Democratic party, but who,
since IL has fallen under control of the
Populistic element have become back
numbers. They want Bryan defeated, but
they do not want Mckinley elected. Their
attitude is illogical. for there is but one
way to defeat Bryan, and that Is to elect
Mckinley. They would like TO form a
third party to hold the balance of power,
but there is neither room nor demand for
such an organization.
