OTHER STATE DELEGATIONS.

The New Jersey delegation arrived
this morning. The delegation did not
come to any conclusion in regard to
the vice presidency or the platform
The Florida delegation to-day named
G. Gibbons as member of the commit
tee on resolutions. 1t was decided to
instruct him to work for the reaffrma-
ton of the Chicago platform and
against the insertion of specific plank
calling for the ratio OF I6 to /.
George w. Greene, of Rhode Island
headed that delegation. I'VE are for
sixteen to one he said, "but we are
not in favor of forcing ii too strongly
1t does us no good in the east If we dc
so, and do not lnlnA that 1t will ma
terially change chances of election in
the west. However, Mr.. Bryan wants
1t, and | think the Democracy has a
better chance TO win with him on a
sixteen to one platform than with any
other man on any platform, so We will
have to let it go at that"
In our opinion said J. j. Spald-
ing, of Georgia, the proper thing is to
reaffirm the silver plank of the Chicago
platform. "A great many good Demo
Gratis will not support the ticket If the
silver plank is made too strong, and
there should be some concession. We
are willing that the matter should be
administered mildly"
Sentiment in favor lof the nomi-
nation OF David B. Hill for Vice Pres.
ident was echoed by the Wisconsin
delegation to-day. I'VE don't want tC
take too radical a stand on the silver
question. Other issues are more i'm
portant."
I'VE maintain it is impossible TO car
ry any western State with the silver
issue in the background, said delegate
j. d. Medill, of Washington, to-day
This is the unanimous sentiment of the
delegation. The delegates will support
James Hamilton Lewis for Vice Pres
ident.
The Michigan delegation announced
itself for Towne. I'VE are not in
structed," said Rush Culver, "but we
have passed resolutions approving his
candidacy. On the silver plank we are
for re-affirmation, as we think that
carries enough endorsement of the IL
to l plank of the Chicago platform"
There is considerable disappointment
among the Pennsylvania delegates over
the story that Bryan will insist upon

The international troops SO
far from being strong enough
to advance towards Pekin are
not sufficiently numerous to at

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Secre-
tary Hay has received cablegrams
from Consul Goodnow at Shanghai,
dated to-day, and United States
Consul McWade, at Canton. The
one from Goodnow is as follows:
son the 27th., there were two
legations standing. The en-
perOr and the empress are pris-
ohers IN the paldce. Inc city
gates are closed. Prince Tuan
and his force of Boxers are in
control of everything. Conn

The cablegram from McWade is
as follows:
"Viceroy Lii Hung Chang to-day
assured me that he will immediate
ly issue strong proclamation
commanding the preservation of
peace and order in his provinces
and will take the necessary measures
for the protection of foreigners so
far as possible. He has largely in
creased the force of his army"

London papers are beginning to find
out that Admiral Kempff had better
foresight than was possessed by the
allied chancellories of Europe,
when he protested against an attack
on the Taku forts on the ground
that it would throw the Chinese
government into the arms of the
Boxers and make all the other ma
tons technically at war with
China. And the inadvisability of
attacking Taku when the interna-
tional forces were manifestly insult
ticient even to guard the legations
and the Europeans in the interior
from retaliation, is now generally
acknowledged.
The fact that relief column has
been unable to leave Tien Tsin in
response to the pathetic prayer of
the beleaguered legationss at Pc
kin is generally regarded in London
as destroying almost the last yes
tige OF hope for the unfortunate
foreigners pent up in the Chinese
capital. The worst is feared and
the massacre of Cawnpore is in
every mans mind. 1t is beginning
to be felt here that the. plausible
fiction that no state of war exists is
no longer tenable, and fully equip
ped, modern army, belonging to a
single nationality. is necessary to
deal with the situation, instead of
the assorted expedition of a half
dozen nationalities. Hence arises
the demand that Japan shall be
given a mandate to complete the
work left undone in 1894, with prop
er security that she shall not be
again squeezed out when the costly
task is over.

In connection with Richard Croker's
presence at the conference, it is under
stood upon authority that may scarcely
be questioned, that he and former Gov

action in the convention. They will do
everything in their power, it is main

"Bryan will not run on any

tain n specific declaration in ia
vOr of free coinage at the ratio
of 16 to 1. If the Convention
does not put that declaration
in the platform, it will have to

This statement was made to-day to
The Associated Press by Judge A. S.
Tibbetts, of Lincoln, delegate at large
from Mr.. Bryan's own State, and chair
man of the State delegation to this
convention. 1t serves to emphasize the
determined stand taken by the Ne
braskan statesman. His declaration Is
that he stands for principle and those
who would have him change or modify
his views are swinging simply in the
wind of expediency.
Cato Sells, chairman of the Iowa
delegation, who had a three hours
conference with Mr.. Bryan just before
he came to Kansas City, not ems re-
affirms the statement made by Judge
Tibbitts, but amplifies it.

BRYAN'S OWN WORDS.

bh AIN . wv IN WOhDO.
"After talking with Mr.. Bryan
for some time" said Mr.. Sells,
with respect to his position
and to the attitude his friends
ought to assume in this Con-
yention, 1 asked him this blunt
question: Suppose the cOnven-
ton should refuse to adopt N
platform containing "a distinct
declaration in favor of free
coinage mt 16 tO1:
Then said Mr.. Bryan, en-
phatically, Il will not run as
the candidate.
That the convention will bow to Mr.
Bryan's desires, nobody who comes il
contact with the delegates can douh
for an instant. Some discordant ele
ments are here, but they are not men
acing. A few men assert with a posi-
tiveness quite serious that they pro
pose to carry the fight to the floor o
the convention Such a contest in tn,
convention would be, doubtless, dra
matte, perhaps a sensational perform
ance; but it would not only serve any
useful purpose, but might put away The
chance of victory next fall. which now
is the beacon light of every loyal Demo.
