THE SITUATION IN CHINA.


Emperor William will insist on full
satisfaction for the death Of Won ket-
teller and will send 20. 900 men to China.
A hopeless feeling regarding the
ministers ia Pekin peivades all foreign
capitals. Definite news Of their massacre
Is daily expected.
More murders are rumored and there
is no improvement in the outlook at
Pekin.
1876 bodies have been recovered from
the water of the North River victims
Of the disaster at the North German
LLOYD Steamship docks. There are yet
over one hundred and twenty people
missing.
The U. s battleship Oregon, which
ran ashore northeast Of Che Foo, June
2Sth. has been hOated off. and Is ex.
pected TO reach Port Arthur safely
The dock of Port Arthur proving too
narrow. Japan has offered every facility
for docksge.
mot q single foreigner is now alive
in Pekin and the city Is a heap Of ashes,
is the latest Chinese report which has
reached Shanghai. Other Shanghai re-
ports describe the condition Of the Brit
ish Legation as awful 1t is said that
the roomslof the legation were filed
with sick and wounded, the killed ly-
ing unburied In heaps. Il is believed
that many members and officials Of the
Tsung Lu Yamen perlshed when the
German guard, maddened by the muir
der Of Baron Won Ketteler, the German
Minister set fire to the building. That
the foreigners at the Chinese capital
have been abandoned to their horrible
fate, seems no longer open to doubt.

ITLOOKs THAT WAY.

1t is often the wsy Of political
leaders when the people demand
thing in opposition to their wishes to
seemingly scquiesce and to use the
knife later on. This appears to us to
be the tactics Of Croker and other
prominent Democrats. At heart they
were opposed to Bryan, but early in
the game they saw that the rank and
file OF the Democracy wanted him.
The leaders feel that be cannot be
elected and so they have decided to
give him plenty of rope, knowing that
in no other way can they get rid OF
him. The conservative element, like
David B. Hill and the delegations
from Virginia and most of the South
ern and Eastern States, have been
oyer.ridden at Kansas City and the
radical sixteen to.oners have won out.
This is q great pity; for the Democrat.
10 ticket it makes victory doubly hard
even if it does not put such thing
beyond the pale of possibilities. De-
feat for the ticket means much to the
interests Of the country, but in our
Judgment the most potentisl,one will
be the assumption by Mr.. Mckinley
and his political family that victory
at the polls is an endorsement of his
imperislistic policy. He and Mr..
Hanna will be more determined than
ever to pursue an autocratic course;
but in this they cannot be greatly
blamed, for has not the Democratic
party made their endorsement more
than probable and does not the Re-
publican party bend the knee and
