Refugees who have arrived from

nation:
The Chinese resumed the lombard
ment of the foreign quarter last Tues

dered that day to leave. The lombard
ment is described as the worst yet ex-
perienced, but there were no civilian
casualties. though many marvellous
escapes are reported. A force OF Brit
ish and Russians tried to silence the
Chinese guns. but retired without
effecting their object Two guns from
the Terrible silenced the Chinese
guns on Thursday, but the artillery
duel recommended on Friday.
Two hundred refugees, mostly wo-
men and children, left Thursday and
Friday in lighters. towed by launches

Empress, who had been reported with

and hopelessly mad, has resumed the
reins of power. The date given is

to have occurred.

The Chinese shelled the foreign set
Elements all day long July 8. Upwards
of $50 shells fell into the Concession
and many houses were partially wreck
ed. The casualties, however, were
few, the civilians and women and
children being ordered to seek shelter
in the cellars OF the town hall and
the Aston hotel.
Three companies of Japanese in
fantry, mountain battery and a
body of Russians engaged the Chinese
artillerists, but with little effect. The
twelve-pounder OF the British first
class cruiser Terrible then came into
action, but the enemy placed two shells
fairly under the gun, damaging the
carriage and wounding the crew The
gun was withdrawn and replaced by
French gun which had similar ex-
perience, shell bursting in the midst
of the crew.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 10
After three hours of fervid oratory in
dulged in by the kindergarten speak
ers attending the Republican conyen-
ton of the Third Congressional district
accompanied by the music of three
brass bands, Joseph Holt Gaines, of Ka
nawha, late of Fayette, was nominated
for Congress to-day by reclamation on
the motion of Judge C.. w. Smith, of
Mercer, who up to within few days
ago, thought he himself had a cinch on
the nomination.
Judge Smith was notified two months
ago that the machine had selected ]. H.
Gaines for Congress, but he persisted
in considering himself bigger than the
machine, till he was rudely awakened
few days ago to the realization that
all nominations of West Virginia Re-
publicans were made in Washington,
and that the nominations so made
must be ritified by West Virginia Re-
publican conventions.
Judge Smith complied with the re-
quest made of him to withdraw and
pledge his support to j. H. Gaines.
1t was not pleasant thing to do but
he
Did 1t With as Much Grace
as he could command, and the nomi-
nation of Gaines was made in due form.
He was brought before the conven-
ton by special committee, when he
proceeded to make his speech of &C
ceptance which occupied an hour for
its delivery and proved to be as ted
ious as those placing his name before
the convention.

THE WORK OF PRINCE TUAN

The officials of the legation declare
the present trouble is entirely the work
OF Prince Tuan and that the govern
ment, the Dowager Empress and the
Chinese generally are against the Box
ers. The officials also say they have
reason 10 hope that the situation at
Pekin is improving and that Prince
Ching will succeed in protecting the
foreigners. They secuted the stories of
the massacre Of the people in the lega-
tons and the poisoning of the Emper-
or and Dowager Empress and express
the opinion that Prince Ching and the
royal yiceroys could best be assisted
by the promised despatch of interna-
tional reinforcements and the promise
of help in the formation of a strong
government.

LOOKS LIKE A BLUFF.

To the unprecedented eye it ap-
pears that very much of Mr.. Halls
extravagant claims is pure bluff.
There is no telling what changes
may occur between now and the
time the ballot is taken for the
nomination for auditor, but if the
vote were tonight, Scherr's vote
would equal those of Hall and La
Toilette combined.
LaFollettes headquarters are
very tame in appearance compared
with those of Hall and Scherr.
but the present Auditor persists in
claiming that his vote on the first
ballot will be as largeas eitherofthe
other leaders. Each of the five
candidates for Auditor will have
his own county on the first ballot.
he says, and the vote of the other
counties will be equally divided be-
tween himself, Hall and Scherr.
Among the lesser candidates.
Lewis, of Marshall. is growing in
strength, and it is not at all i'm
probable that he will by tomorrow
become formidable candidate.
Should there be a breaking I'D OF
the supporters of either of the
leading candidates Lewis would
likely profit by it. He is conduct
ing a quiet, but no less effective
canvass, and has made long. strides
toward the goal since his arrival
here.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 10.
The Republican State conven-
. ton and Buckskin Bills Wild
West show struck the town this
morning about the same time
But the show took the lead and
gave a street parade this morning
and performance this afternoon
and tonight ahead of the State
conventions schedule time.
Naturally enough Buckskin
Bills "big Injuns" were taken for
a detachment of Teddy Roosevelt's
Rough Riders and were cheered
as such by the Republican dele
gates.
Later in the day the parade of
the brass bands accompanying the
several country delegations to the
conventions overshadowed the In
dian show and they still hold the
attention of the crowds.
When the early trains began to
roll in to the several depots and
discharge their burdens of hui
mainly the town became one
seething mass of people crowding
and jostling each other on every
side.
The first train load to arrive to-
day was from the East over the
Kanawha & Michigan and Ches-
apeake & Ohio railroads. Then the
Charleston, Clendennin & Sutton
railway brought in several hun
dred from up the Elk Valley.
This afternoon the full delegation
arrived from Lincoln, Logan,
Mingo Wayne, Cabell and Putnam.
OHIO COUNTY DELEGATION.
They were followed soon after
by a long special train over the
Ohio River and Kanawha & Mich
igan railways, on which were
about two hundred and fifty peo-
pie from Wheeling, escorted by
the Wheeling Opera House band.
A half hour later came another
special bearing the White March
ing Club from Parkersburg in
their pretty snow white duck suits
and accompanied by the Parkers-
burg band.
Senator Elkins, who has been
designated as the temporary chair
man of the convention, arrived at
noon over the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad in his private car from
Hot Springs, We
He was accompanied by Con-
gresham A. G. Dayton, United
States Fish Commissioner George
Bowers, of Martinsburg, and Gen
eral George w. Curtin, of Sutton.
The Senator has apartments at
present at Hotel Rurfner. He will
be entertained while here by Col.
and Mrs. ]. E. Dana. The Senator
was besieged with callers and he
was much pleased to see his
friends.
Both Commissioner Bowers and
Congressman Dayton took off their
coats, so TO speak, upon their ar
rival and went to work vigorously
for the nomination of Scherr for
Auditor.
SCHERR IN THE LEAD.
The candidate from Mineral is
yet in the lead, and he confiden-
TALLY predicts his nomination on
the first ballot, or at the farthest
on the second ballot. He still
claims that he has the Second dis
trict practically solid for him.
while he expects to get over a hun
dred votes from the Third district,
one hundred and twenty from the
Fourth and sprinkling from the
First; some even from Mr.. Halls
own county. He says whether Mr..
LaFollette gets the solid vote of
his own county of Taylor, will
depend upon whether he, Mr..
Scherr, will allow him to have
them.
His attention. was called to the
fact that there was report to
the effect that Hall, of Ohio, for
Auditor, and Silman, OF Kanawha,
for Treasurer had made combina-
ton against him. He said If it
ware true they. had done very
