The town COW question is al
ways of that grave kind that no
other matter can be taken up in
connection with it. Every town
has gone through the town COW
campaign, and every man Of
years knows the heartburnings
that are in it. Either conclude
to settle the COW question or drop
it until the roads are built. State
Press suggests that the road
question be taken up first, for a
macadamized road through a
thinly settled neighborhood for
forty miles can be built in less
time than it takes to settle the

SULZER AND BRYAN.
The New Yorker May Be the Nebraska
Mans Mouthpiece.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 30.-When Repre-
sentative Sulzer left for Kansas City this
afternoon the popular supposition among
the Democratic politicians not in Lincoln
was that he took with him the expressed
wishes of Mr.. Bryan as to what should be
contained in the nancia plank of the
platform to be presented TO the Democratic
national committee. Mr.. Sulzer is regarded
here as the mouthpiece, for the time being
at least. Of the New York delegation. In
any event he is it's representative so far as
the Lincoln end is concerned. Mr.. Sulzer
himself is for a positive, specific declara-
ton for free silver coinage at a ratio OF
16 to /. He will not be satisfied with a re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform.
I attempt to hedge or shelve this
question would be cowardly and a be-
trayal," said Mr.. Sulzer this morning. 1T
would be an admission to the Republicans
that We ave accepted their contention
that free silver is a dead issue, and that
We We're wrong and that they were right in
the tight of four years ago 1t is folly and
false to assert that free silver is dead either
East or West. In my last canvass for a
seat In Congress, in a district almost In
the shadow of Wall street, l made silver
the whole issue and my majority was the
largest ever given in the district. / made
the fight on this issue against the advice
of party leaders, too
Whether Mr.. Bryan takes the same stand
as Mr.. Sulzer neither gentleman would say,
but Ii is the general opinion hat they are
not far apart.
II is noteworthy that j. Hamilton Lewis
entertains for Mr.. Bryan the same attitude
as that of Mr.. Sulzer. Following an ex-
tended conference at the Bryan home, Mr..
Lewis said: II am satisfied Mr.. Bryan, if Ii
were left to him. would not consent to the
omission from the platform of an explicit
declaration for free silver at 16 to J."
There is a bare possibility that Mr.. Bryan
may be yet induced to go to Kansas City
to participate in the closing scenes of the
convention. Kansas City men in Lincoln
believe he will go. but all his arrangement
are otherwise. Two telegraph wire loops
are being strung TO his city home, and Mr..
Bryan's present plans are to receive, with
a few friends bulletins on the proceedings
of the convention

ADMIRAL PHILIP Dl
PASSED AWAY AFTER LESS TIL.
TWO DAYS OF ILLNESS.
Organic Affection of the Heart Was
the Cause-His Long and Active
Career in the Navy.

NEW YORK. June so.-Rea Admiral
John w. Philip. commandant of the Brook
Ign navy yard, died at 3:15 o'clock this
afternoon Of heart disease.
Admiral Philip died at the navy yard.
An organic affection of the heart was the
cause of his death. He was taken i'll about
IL o'clock Thursday night. BY to-day his
condition had become so alarming that a
consultation of physicians was held. Moth
ing could be done for the sufferer and he
died at 3:15 p. m. His wife was at his bed
side when the end came.
During the war with Spain Admiral Philip
commanded the battleship Texas and par
ticipated in the destruction of Cervera's
fleet as well as in the other important naval
movements in the West Indies during that
war. Upon being raised to the grade of
rear admiral by the passage of the naval
personnel bill he became c~ommandant of
the Brooklyn navy yard.

they Will Celebrate Opening Session
with a Patriotic Display.

KANSAS CITY. June SO.-The silver Re-
publicans. who will hold their national con-
vention here July 4, have so far only made
up a programme for the first session. What
they will do at subsequent sessions will de-
pend in a measure on the action of the
Democratic convention. Charles "A. Towne,
who is the chairman of the national COM
mittee of the silver Republicans. as we'll as
the nominee OF the Populists for Vice Pres
icent. will call the convention TO order.
The Rev. DR.. Bigelow, of Cincinnati, will
offer prayer n there will be patriotic airs
by a military band The reading of the
call for the convention will be followed by
the reading of the Declaration of indie
pendence. Senator Henry II. Teller. of
Colorado. will then be introduced as the
temporary chairman and presented with a
gavel by Mr.. Towne. The head of the gavel
is of wood from an elm tree planted in
Mr.. Towne's dooryard by Abraham Lincoln.
and its handle is from the dining room
floor of Mr.. Lincoln's former home. After
an address by Senator Teller the usual
committees will be appointed and the con-
vention will adjourn until the afternoon.

Little Faith I'm the Professions of the
Chinese Authorities.


LONDON, Tune So.-Uncertainty remains
the keynote Of the situation in China. Well
informed quarters continue to believe the
legations are still at Picking, but authentic
information is lacking. The dispatches tend
to create an impression that the Chinese
authorities are playing a double game, sin
ultaneously promulgating public edicts
against the Boxers and sending secret of
fcers to the viceroys to disobey the com
n to suppress the outbreak.
Shanghai notes increasing signs of a
general spread of the rebellion in the
southern provinces, but the local feeling of
alarm is subsiding. That city also reports
that a serious rising confrontS the japan

The Wal Office has received the follow
ing dispatch from Colonel Dorward, dated
Che-Foo, June 80:
The arsenal northeast Of Tien-Tsin was
captured during the morning of June q.
by the combined forces. The British troops
engaged were the nava brigade and the
Chinese regiment. The naval brigade had
four men killed and fifteen wounded, in
Guiding two officers. The Chinese regimen
had no casualties. The latter checked an
attack by the Boxers on our left flank,
with heavy loss to the envy
A dispatch received here to-day from
Tsin-Taou, dated Wednesday,, June q. says
that eighteen colonists had voluntarily
started for Wei-Hai-Sein, with the inten-
ton of relieving missionaries there.
A naval brigade of about nine hundred
blue jackets and marines left Portsmouth,
this morning, for China. AS 1T is intended
TO use them as a landing force, the men
nave been specially exercised in field work.
They took a wireless telegraphing appar-
atus with them. The brigade also has six
twelve-pounders, two Maxim guns and two
million rounds of ammunition.
Russia continues to dispatch troops to
China, and the German cruiser Fuerst Bis
