GATHERING.Ai PHILADELPHIA

The Advance Guard of Republican
Delegates Pouring In.

: Philadelphia, specfai.-This city is
rapidly taking ON a national conven-
ition aspect. Quite a large Number of
Irrational committeeman and delegates
arrived Tuesday and the hotels are, hez
! gigning to fill up. Prominent among
the national committeeman now on the
ground are Ambassador, Powell Clay
ton, of Arkansas, and John'W. Yerkes,
of, Kentucky Nearly all, the other
members of the national committee are
expected Wednesday morning to at
tend the meeting of the Sommittee,
which is called for noon. Chairman
Hanna is due at o'clock p. m. The
oH question of representation in Re-
publican conventions which agitated
the national committee at its meeting
in: Washington last December, is more
than likely.to come to the front at the
committee meeting. The RESOLUTION Of
Henry c. Payne, Of. Wisconsin, pre-
sented at last winters meeting, and
which was withdrawn before it was
put to a vote, will again be pressed,
but not by its author. The strongest
supporters Of the Payne measure come
from New England. This resolution
provides for four delegates at large
from each State and an additional dele
gate fer every 10000 Republican votes
or majority fraction thereof, based on
the returns for the last presidential
election. The Rhode Island delegation
has prepared a substitute for the
Payne resolution and will present it in
place of that resolution, if they find the
sentiment in favor Of the latter. is not
strong enough. to put it through the
committee. 1t is claimed that the
substitute will meet all the Objections
Of majority of the national commit
teemen. =

SchIey Not a Candidate.

Philadelphia, special.-The Times
says editorially: The name Of Rear
Admiral Schley has been repeatedly
suggested as in the list from which
the Democrats would Like to choose
their candidate for President or Vice
President, but all who know the views
of Rear Admiral Schley uniformly de-
clared that such use Of his name was
not only unwarranted, but against his
own distinctly expressed wishes and
purposes. He was specially careful be-
fore gong to sea in command OF the
South Atlantic squadron to declare to
his friends that under no circum-
stances would he consent TO become a
political candidate

Government Crop Report.

Washington, D. c., Special The
Weather Bureaus weekly summary Of
the crop conditions says: Heavy
rains. in the Central and East. Gulf
States, including portion" Of Ken
lucky and Tennessee, have retarded
cultivation and in somesections caused
injury to, crops: The high average
temperatures, with generally sufficient
moisture in the great corn States of
the central valleys have been decided
ly favorable to corn, which has made
rapid growth, although needing. culti-
walton in some sections. In Mary:
land, Virginia and portions Of North
Carolina and Texas corn is needing
rain, while it has suffered from exces.
:sive rains in the Central Gulf States.
The winter wheat harvest is now in
progress in Virginia and will begin in
Kentucky this week: Except some
lodging in kentucky and -Fenhessee
the reports generally Indicate ths6 the
crop has made satisfactory advance
hnept during the week. -
As result of the light rains in;Tex-
as, much Of the State receiving no pre-
cipitation, cultivation has been Eigor-
ously pushed and there has been a de-
.cided improvement in the condition of
cotton. Several days Of fair weather
are still needed, however, to put the
crop in a proper state Of cultivation in
some parts ofrTexas. While there sis
a general complaint Of lice in cotton
over the central and eastern portions
OF the cotton belt, the crop has made
substantial progress, although quite
generally in need Of cultivation. The
least favorable reports are received
from Louisiana, where cotton has
made but slow. growth and is turning

Amendments No Good.

Columbia, special.-All of the county
boards Of control Of the State appear
to be. absolutely without legal author
ity. Attorney General Bellinger held
that the State zoard of control has no
authority to commission the members
of the county boards of control Sand
THAT the commissions from. II that body; ,;
are without effect. Commissions must
be obtained from the Governor, as are
all other appointments Of State or
county officers. The question has been
decided in connection with the Bam-
berg case, of which mention has been
made. This decision is that all com,
missions to members Of the county
boards sent out by the: State board are
not worth the paper they are written
on. go.

The Evil Work OF the Humsrlst.

An enterprising Philadelphia restaui-
ant proprietor hung out large blace-
board sign the other day with the fol-
lowing announcement: You can't
beat our fifteen cent dinners" This
sign proved to be good drawing card
until young man Of humorous turn Of
mind came along. The latter. seeing
the sign, stopped. and. after scrutin-
-izing it closely, smiled one Of those
smiles which bode no one any good.
He waited until none Of the employees
were watching. and, taking out his
handkerchief, he erased the letter ''b'
from the word beat The tranSfor-
nation was complete, and it was rot
until crowd had collected that the
proprietor of the restaurant discovered
why there was a larger crowd outside
than inside.

London, By Cable.-The Chinese are:
entrenching outside of Pekin TO op-
pose the advance CT the international
column. A dispatch from Tien-Tsin,.
dated Tuesday, June u. says: Il leafn;
that the Chinese have guns trained on
the American mission -and~the British
legation. Two thousand Russian cav:
/, airy and infantry, with artillery: have
landed. at Taku."
The Shanghai correspondents report
that United States Minister Conger, by
courier, asks for 1000 United States
troops. The question Of provisioning
the relief force is already difficult, and
it is predicted at Shanghai that it will
become acute. The leading members
of the Reform party, representing ID
out of IS provinces, are at Shanghai.
A dispatch to The Daily Mail, dated
Tuesday, says they are sending Pc
tition 10 the United States. Great Bri
tain and Japan, praying those powers
to take joint acton against. any at
tempt on the part Of the other powers
to partition the empire, and they i'm
plore the powers thus addressed to res
cue the Emperor. A dispatch from St.
Petersburg says that.the ships of the
Russian Pacific squadron on the active
list; as we'll as those at ,Vladivgtock,
have been ordered to proceed, with all
haste, to Chinese waters.

port. Of an engagement between troops

British Summer Quarters Burned.

Washington, D. c., Special.-Offiial
dispatches received in diplomatic quar-
ters in Washington show that the riot
ing at Pekin has reached an acute
stage, with the rioters directing a
number of assaults against members OF,
the different foreign legations there.
One Of these dispatches states that the
secretary OF the Belgian legation was
attacked two successive times on Mon
day, and escaped, after being maltrea-
ted by the mob. On the same day two
officials OF the British legation, serving
as student interpreters, were attacked
by large crowd of roughs. The young
Engiishmen held ,the attacking party
back for a time, but when the mob
threatened TO close in on them they
drew revolvers, and by show Of force,
made their retreat without bodily in
jury.
About the same time the British
summer quarters, II miles from Pekin,
were burned down. These quarters
we're quite extensive and had just been
completed. They belonged to the Brit
ish government and not to Sir Claude
Macdonald, the British minister at Pc
kin, which gives added significance to
the depreciation.
The killing of the chancellor Of the
Japanese legation at Pekin, Sugiyama
Akira, is not referred to in the Official
dispatches received here, but full cred
it is given to this report by the Japan
ese officials, who are personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Akira, and with
many Of the circumstances detailed.
The killing of a member Of the diplo-
mat body and the foregoing assaults
upon the officials of foreign countries
are regarded as presenting the most
serious phase of the situation that has
thus far ACQUIRED.
