Japanese Savagery-stirring story
Told by Refugee From China,

San Francisco, Aug. S.-Young Karl
Ragsdale, son of Consul Ragsdale, at
Iien-tsin, was one of those who came
home on the Logan. Although the mer-
est lad, he was in the thickest of the
fighting. He was with Captain McCalla
as an aid and has'for the American naval
man an admiration that nothing will ever
dim.
"McCalla is loved by every American
British and japanese soldier who saw
him fight" declared Ragsdale. "On the
relief march that was headed by Ad-
miral Seymour it was McCalla's gem
eralship that made it possible for that
little handful of soldiers to get back to
Tien-tsin. Seymour discussed every
move with him and usually took his ad-
vice, and when we got back to Tien-tsin
the British admiral was generous enough
to tell all about it.

New York, Aug. 8. - Michael Hayes
died yesterday in the hospital in Hobo
ken, n. j., from the effects of blow
which he received two weeks ago. John
Hekker Hollander, lifelong friend of
Hayes, is under arrest on the charge of
mansaughter. The two men were on
their way home from work about two
weeks ago. and Hayes purchased the
evening papers to read the war news in
South Africa. He made the remark that
5000 Dutchmen had surrendered. HEX
ker replied that it was too bad that it
was not 5000 ''low Irishmen." That
started the quarrel and Hekker hit
Hayes with his fist, knocking him down.
In falling Hayes fractured his skull.

Washington, Aug g. - The following
cable message from Minister Conger was
ment:
"Tsi-nan Yamen, Aug. Z.
Secretary of State:
"Still bescged. Situation more pre-
carious. Chinese government insisting
upon our leaving Peking which would be
certain death. Rifle firing upon us daily
by imperial troops. Have abundant cour-
age, but little ammunition or provisions.
Two progressive yamen ministers be-
headed. All connected with legation of
the United States well at the present
moment. CONGER."
Minister Conger's dispatch shows that
the demand for communication with the
legationers has been needed. 1t is be-
lieved to be the beginning of the Chinese
surrender, which is expected to follow
the next battle between the allies and
the imperial troops at Yangt tsun. The
news that the situation is more precari-
Gus in Picking and that the Chinese gov
ernment is insisting on the ministers
leaving there confirms the theory which
has been held all along that the impris-
oned foreigners will not trust themselves
outside the British compound in the fear
of being murdered.
The continued rife firing by the impe-
rial troops is ominous, but it may be part

c.A.TOWNE WITHDRAWS
VIII Not Be a Candidate For
Vice President.
HIS REASONS GIVEN AT LENGTH

He Was Nominated For Vice Presi-
dent at Sioux FaIIs-Expects Ste
vensOn to Succeed Him.
Duluth, Aug. S.-Former National Rep
resentative Charles A. Towne, who was
nominated for the vice presidency by the
Populist national convention held at
Sioux Falls in May, has sent the follow
ing to the committee of notification:
Il am constrained to inform you In all
respect that | must decline the nomina-
ton rendered to me by the Sioux Falls
convention.
1t was of course the expectation of
your convention that its nomination for
the vice presidency would prove accepta-
Die to the conventions of the Democratic
and Silver Republican parties called to
meet in Kansas City on the Fourth of
July. The Silver Republicans, 1880 del
egates representing % states and terri
tories We're indeed eager to name the
ticket chosen at Sioux Falls, but to the
great Democratic convention another
course commended itself.
Geographical considerations and the
fact that in certain parts of the country
it was deemed wise to defer to sent-
ment demanding that the candidate
should be n man already identified with
the Democratic organization not only by
holding its principles and advocating its
cause, but also by name and profession,
determined the selection of Adlai Il. Ste
venson of Illinois, man of unimpeach-
able character and of ripe political ex-
perience, who as member of congress
more than 20 years ago was n close as
sociate and colaborer of General j. b.
Weaver and other great leaders in the
reform political movements of that day
and who as vice president from 1893 to
1897 distinguished himself by rebelling
against the betrayal of Democratic prin-
ciples by President Cleveland.
VIII support Stevenson.
"When Mr.. Stevenson had been nomi-
mated, what was it my duty to do? Man
ifestly it was my duty to support
that nomination. Acting upon this con-
yiction, | went before the Silver Re
publican convention and succeeded in per-
suading it not to nominate me. and the
vice presidential matter was finally re-
ferred to the Silver Republican national
committee with full powers. Later in the
night this committee placed the name of
Mr.. Stevenson on its ticket as candidate
for vice president.
'This recital clearly develops the stu
alton as 1t now is. Everybody knows
that either Mr.. Stevenson or Mr.. Roose-
welt Is to be the next vice president of the
United States. In what light should
appear before the American people if
while advocating the election of one tick
ct | should be going through the form of
running on another?
in 1896 | was one of those who. keen
ly feeling the recreancy of the Republic
an party, were much in doubt whether
the memorable Democratic convention at
Chicago, in adopting its splendid plat
form and nominating William J. Bryan
for the presidency, was actuated by an
impulse or purpose. The magnificent
achievements at Kansas City have set
tied all possible doubt on that subject"

view. This was done. Shortly after
other members of Congress noticed
that the House was full of flags repre-
senting all the nations of Europe and
that the only nation which was omitted
was Great Britain. Word was sent to
Speaker Henderson and he was asked
to get a British flag in position. He
did the best he could, but the hour had
arrived when the ceremonies We're to
