Fort Scott, Kas., July 25.-The feat
ure of yesterdays proceedings in the
Populist, Democratic and Silver Re-
publican state conventions, which met
here yesterday in separate halls TO
nominate state tickets, or effect a fu-
sion in the interests of a single ticket,
was the refusal to indorse the sena-
torial aspirations of Jerry Simpson by
the Populist convention. The eX-rep-
reSentative desired to go before the
next legislature in the event of a Popu-
list or fusion success at the polls with
the definite Endorsement of the state
convention for the nomination for Unit
ed States senator. The committee on
rules and order of business reported Il
rule bringing the question of sena-
tOrial Endorsement before the conven-
ton. In the convention there was
strong opposition to this departure
from the usual custom, and in the
heat of the debate Simpson took the
floor and urged his own candidacy. He
was bitter in his denunciation of some
of his opponents, and the convention
was soon in an uprOar. The eX-repre-
sentative retired from the platform
amid groans and Kisses. When a
vote was taken an Endorsement of his
candidacy was refused by a majority
of nearly twO-thirds.
The three conference committees
reached an agreement whereby the To-
peka agreemnt will be modified to the
extent of permitting the Populists to
name David Martin, of AtchisOn, for
associate justice, for which they will
surrender to the Democrats the office
of attorney general.

that he will be at the capital for at

kwane Hsu's Appeal tn Us.
The whole correspondence was
printed yesterday. Under date of July
10, 1900, Kwang Hsu, emperor of Chi
ma, at Peking, after referring to the
Chino-American friendship and to out
breaks in China against the missions.
resulting in the capture of the Taku
forts SAYS: "Now China, driven by the
Irresistible course of events. has unfor-
tunateIy incurred well nigh universal
Indignation. For settling the present
difficulty China places special reliance
on the United States. We address this
message to your excellency in all sin
cerity and candidness with the hope
that your excellency will devise meas
ures and take the initiative in bringing
about n concert Of the powers for the
restoration of order and peace"
President McKinIey's Reply.
The presidents reply first ''infers"
that the persecution of Christians and
attacks on foreigners in China are not
favored or encouraged by the Peking
government. but are the acts of rebels.
nat DelDR tie case IL IL UTReu on Cne
Chinese government to give public as
surance whether the foreign ministers
are alive, and, il so. in what condition;
to put the diplomatic representatives
of the powers in immediate and free
communication with their respective
governments, and to remove all danger
to their lives and liberty: to place the
imperial authorities of China in com
munication with the relief expedition,
so that cooperation may be secured
between them for the liberation of the
legationers. the protection Of foreign
ers. and the restoration of order"
The president tells Kwang Hsu that
our whole interest in the allied mill
tary movement is the protection of
American persons and property. and
that if the requirements given in the
foregoing are accomplished lit is the
belief of this government that no OBJ
stacles will be found to exist on the
part of the powers to an amicable set

of the recent troubles. and the friendly
good offices of this government will,
