received a great many callers ana
there was much discussion of the po-

On the question of platform, the
trend Of the discussion forecasted TO
some extent the differences OF opinion
which may arise at Kansas City. Inc

of the 1896 platform this year. Senator
Jones, according to credible advlces,
advocates reaffirmation Of the Chicago
platform as whole, and then
a quick transition to the newer
issues of imperialism and the
trusts. When asked what he thought
the platform and issues this year
should be, Bryan said: II think the
three big questions before us are

believe the principles adopted in the
Chicago platform were adopted as a
part of the party creed, never to be

however, be added to as new issues

of general debility. He came to
Shullsburg at the age of IL and en-
gagged in farming and mining, entering
the assembly for his district for the

tivity which extended through a
period of great many years. He rep
resented the Shullsburg district in the
assembly in 1855, 1857, 1858, and 1877,

Washington, June 14.-The state de-

about the killing of an American mis-

shock at the department, and adds
greatly to the gravity of the problem

Definite official information is received
stating that the dowager empress does
not object to the presence of foreign
troops in China's territory. This
change of front comes as a distinct
surprise to officials and diplomats as re-

intensely hostile to foreigners and as
the real power behind the boxers anti
foreign uprising. The empress dow
ager is no longer yielding to anti-for-
