From all accounts war seems
inevitable between China and the
powers. Baron Won Ketteller has
been killed, 50 the reports 20 and

will declare war against China and

az soon as congress can be con-
vened.
When the dogs Of war are turned

Mr.. Cohen Surprised.

A very pleasant and agreeable
surprise was rendered Mr.. w. L..
Cohen, Registrar of the U. 8. Land
Office, at his residence, Bienville,
near Prieur street, last Monday
night, in honor of his 4Oth birth
day. The affair was rather an i'm
promptu one, those participating
being a few, the select friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cohen. The party
proceeded to the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Cohen, who were really
surprised, as the intention of the
participants was kept profoundly
secret. Soon, however, they were
made welcome, and a merry time
was enjoyed. Tables groaned un-
der the load of luxurious dainties
which the guests had provided,
and were enjoyed by all. Many
were the expressions of delight at
Mr.. Cohen's success, and the wish
that he might long live to enjoy the
success he has so nobly attained
was responded to by every one
present. Some presents were also
donated to commemorate the aus
picious occasion. 1t was qnite late
when the merry crowd, ObOut to de
part. wished Mr.. Cohen many re-
turns of his natal day and depart
ed for their homes. Mr. Cohen, by
his genial disposition and sterling
character, has endeared himself t.
all who know him, and his host o.
friends throughout the city join IL
the sentiments expressed by hi
many surprisers.

TAMMANY AND THE TICKET
SERIES OF NEGOTIATIONS MOVED
 BY CROKER PASSED
Bryan nnd Stevsnson Endorscd-Be- lieves iM That Chara cter of Territorial Expansion Favored by Fathers of Democracy.-No Mention Made of tho Silver Question.

| New York, July 23.-The Tammany Hall general committee at meeting held in the wigwam tonight adopted q series of resolutions moved by Richard Croker. After indorslng the nomina- tion of Bryan and Stevenson and de- claring fealty to democratic principles the resolutions say in part:
 "Tammany Hall believes in that char acter of territorial expansion which was favored by the fathers of democ- racy-not expansion by the shedding of American blood on soil where the con- stitution can never follow the flag, but in that which has added to the glory and prosperity of our Union, not in that which Is to the Union a source of dis grace and disaster,
 The republican party, while profess ing a desire to carry freedom to dis tant strangers of strange habits, and of uncertain civilization. gis satisfied to leave American citizens on American soil in bondage to the trusts and mo- nopolies begotten of republican legis lation, for that is nothing less than a condition of slavery which fetters indi- vidual energy and gives to the favored few the fruits of the labor of many.
 Inspired by it's forbidden alliance with the British empire. the republican ton has reached out for col onial dependencies, the control of which means the last step in the direction of imperialism and military government by the United States. That accom- plished, here will be nothing but name and location to distinguish the Ameri- can government from the monarchies of Europe. The future of American young manhood is limited by the re- publican principle to either military service on distant fields of doubted glory, or to a lifetime of useless strug- gle against the killing competition of trusts and monopolies."
 The resolutions contain no mention of the silver question.

Even as 1t was the Ashantis were ac- time and the roads knee deep in mud Colonel Willcocks took couple of vil- lages by bayonet charge. Beyond Ed wanda he found the tribesmen in 0 strong position behind stockades. It was a large war camp with the chief commander of the Ashanti army, esti mated at 4,000 men. After heavy fire on both sides for nearly an hour, Colo nel Willcocks ordered bayonet charge, and the troops rushed through the thick bush cheering vigorously. The Ashantis did not wait for the bayonet, but fled in confusion. The casualties of Colonel Willcocks were two officers wounded, two natives killed and seventeen wounded. On finding Kumassi in such a terrible condition, Colonel Willcocks, after cutting bush and burning bodies, placed the while force upon half ra- tions, an arrangement cheerfully borne. No opposition was met on the return Journey.

New York, July 23.-Gustav Schwab, manager for Herman Oelrichs & Co,, agents of the North German Lloyd Steamship company, to-day issued long report of an official investigation into the recent fire at the piers in Ho- boken made by ex-Fire Chief Hugh Bonner, formerly of the New York fire department, and James Mitchell, for merly fire marshal in New York. They found that four longshoremen were be- ginning to carry cotton when one of them discovered that one of the bales was on fire. This bale was Immediately thrown into the river Instantaneous
 ly other bales were seen to be on fire and an alarm was given. According to the report the fire spread with light ming rapidity. Messrs. Bonner and Mitchell conclude that the cause of the fire is not likely to be ever satisfac- torily ascertained or established. In the report no blame is laid upon any one connected with the management.

DIFFERENCES IN RUSSIA.
Cznr Does Not Wish Great Army Sent
 to China.

London, July 29.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail asserts that there are differences of opinion in the Russian council of war. The min ister of war; General Kouropatkin, wishes to send one hundred thousand men to clear the rebels out of Manohu- ria. On the other hand, according to this correspondent, Emperor Nicholas wishes the operations limited to the de- fense and qualification of the frontier districts. Let two strong armies, one of the allies in the south and the other of the Russians in the north, confront the Chinese, and the rising, so the czar is said to argue, would be bound to col lapse. "We want no conquests," he is reported to have declared at the conclu- sion of a sitting of the council. What we desire is to protect our frontiers and to steer into smooth waters the Chinese ship of state, now buffeted by the waves of civil war;

three general officers of recognized ap1l- ity to assist him in the management Of military operations in China. General Grant is now on duty with the troops in the Philippines, being stationed near Manila. General Barry is passenger on the transport Sumner, which left San Francisco on the 17th inst. for Nagasa- Xxi. The orders under which he sailed required him to report to Major-General Macarthur at Manila for duty as his chief of staff. It is now proposed, how ever to change his orders so as to as- sign him, temporarily at least, to duty with troops in China.
 The officials of the war department calculate that General Chaffee and his re-enforcements will joint Lieutenant Colonel Coolidge and the Ninth infan- try at Tien Tsin before the end of the month. It also is expected that the troops from Manila, consisting of two battalions of the Fourteenth infantry and q battery of artillery, will arrive at Taku tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. The arrival of these troops will give General Chaffee an effective fighting force, including marines al ready there of about four thousand 1,ln

NTfsn Reyes Sentenced in London for
 Stealing JeweIry.

London, July 23--Miss Caroline B. Reyes, who pleaded guilty q week ago In the Marylebone police court, Lon- don, to the charge of stealing gold watch, bracelet, hair brushes and ar ticles of clothing of the aggregate value of G22 from rooms in Norfolk Mansion hotel, where she had been staying, and who in the course of the hearing said she was an American and had come to London to attend the Worlds Christian Endeavor convention as a delegate from a church in Minnesota, has been sen- tenced to three months Imprisonment. The evidence showed, however, that she had no connection whatever with the Christian Endeavorers. There were further charges of thefts committed at the Hotel Cecil and elsewhere, and the magistrate in sentencing the prisoner described her as vulgar thief.
