Why the facts and figures taken by
the census enumerat0rs last June are
not given to the public can only be ac-
counted for. is that they are withheld
for political purposes. The figures
could have been made public within
forty-eight hours by newspaper men if
they had them. Why the public Gen.
sus figures are withheld can only be &C.
counted for on no other grounds than
politics. A few items that show pros
perity may be given out a month or SO
before election, but not otherwise. 1t
was the census figures produced in 1890
which made many foundations for
Populist arguments and such are not
wanted by the administration.

of 100000 voters pledged to support W
j. Bryan If the Democratic party will
adopt prohibition plank in its platform.
The advocates of the movement do not
expect the Democrats to favor such a
plank, but they believe and insist that
it will be, the entering wedge, that will
finally spht one or the other of the two
great parties and build upon the ruins the
founda ton of a new party
Many of the delegates, upon hearing
of the action to be taken at Kansas City,
wanted to know to-day why the matter
was not taken up with the Republican
convention at Philadelphia. Inquiry, how
ever, showed that the list of pledges was
not complete at that time.

WANT ARMY TO GO TO PEKIN.
Foreigners Urging the Powers to
Send 100000 Troops.


Send 100000 Troops.
Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press)
Che Foo Tuesday, June 26.-The for
eigners everywhere are urging the i'm
mediate concentration of an army of 100,-
900 men, or at least $4,000 men for an
advance on Pekin.
Many persons familiar with the Chinese
character think the foreign ministers and
Vice Admiral Seymour are held as host
ages for good terms of settlement. They
also believe the whole Chinese army is
joining in the movement, under the lead
ership of Tung Fuh Slang. who crushed
the Mohammedan rebellion. Recently he
was nominally degraded for the purpose
of organizing an anti-foreign uprising
quietly.
Ii is estimated that $1,000 soldiers, well
armed, but poorly disciplined, are south
of Pekin and Tien Tsin. The Chinese
officers boast that they have 10000 SOL
diers.
Admiral Seymour's force carried
weeks rations and the men had an aver
age of $50 rounds of ammunition.
The Russians conduct at Taku accord
ing to the other officers, infamed the ma
tives. The Russians are reported TO have
been shooting the Chinese Unfortunately
and driving away the peaceful Chinese
who would have procured transportati tion
and provisions, instead of lcoting the
town.
A great naval demonstrate at all the
treaty ports is also said to be desirable In
order to influence the wavering Chinese
merchants who are friendly to foreigners.
The masses are becoming excited at the
reports of their countrymen's successes
against the Powers. Merchantmen srriv-
ing here report that the Boxers are drill
ing in the streets of New Chwang and
that when the officials inspected the SOL
diers with the view of suppressing the
Boxers they found the soldiers had sold
their rifles and equipments to the Boxers.
The military school at Moukden is re-
ported to have been destroyed.
The British consul at Foo Chow Is ask
ing for warships. The arrival OF the Brit
ish hrst-class cruiser Terrible and two
Japanese cruisers at Che Foo to-day re-
lieyed the strained situation. Two Chinese
forts, equipped with Krupp guns, COM
mand the foreign city The only protec-
ton was the United States gunboat York
town with $50 sailors. AS an outbreak was
reported last night the sailors slept on
their arms and the foreigners prepared
TO take refuge on the ships
Commander Taussig. of the yorktown,
reoueted the commander Of the forts to
cease his disquieting meneuvers with can
