Commanders of Allied Force. Say
Is Useless to Atteml,t 1t Against
Big Chinese Army.

London, July 5.-A dispatch from
Taku dated Saturday, June 80, and
Chefoo, Tuesday, July 3, says that the
British and Russian ad1nirals at a coun'
Gil of war held on June 80, decided thai
it was impossible to attempt to re-
lieve Picking without greatly increased
forces. They also concluded that il
would be possible to hold Tientsin
but in the event of this not proving
feasible, they will endeavor to retain
possession of Tallu. One hundred and
forty thousand imperial troops are sta
toned between Peling and Tientsip
while the total of the allied forcei
which can be concentrated at the pres.
emit barely number 10000. 1t is re.
ported that Gen. Nieh-Si-Chang is ad,
vancing for an attack on Tientsin with
10000 troops.
Another report has been received al
Taku to the effect that the German
guards rescued the body of Baron Won
Ketteler, the late German minister to
China, after he was murdered by the
Chinese.
"Not single foreigner is now alive
in Peking," is the latest Chinese report
which has reached Shanghai. Earlier
reports from the same sources describe
the condition of the British legation as
something awful. 1t is said that the
rooms of the legation were filled with
sick and, wounded, the killed lying I'm.
buried in heaps. 1t is believed that
many members and officials of the
tsung Ii yameu persisted, when the
German guard, maddened by the muir,
der of Baron Won Ketteler, the Ger.
man minister, set fire to the building
That the foreigners at the Chinese cap
ital have been abandoned to their hor,
rible fate seems no longer open te
doubt, in the light of the message re.
ceiyed from Taku Wednesday morning
announcing the decision of the ad,
mirals regarding the hopelessness Of
further attempts to relieve Picking ua
der the circumstances.
The correspondent of the Express al
Cheefoo, telegraphing Wednesday
says Admiral Seymour was wounded
while sitting in a house at Tientsin, b,

received at Chefoo shows that the Chi

CATION into the amount of money dis
bursed by the. military authorities, I'M
der the pretext of administering Ha-
vana and improving the sanitary con-
dition, the result would shock the aver
age voter. While the administration
and its2 henchmen pretend to know
nothing of the irregularities in various
directions in Cuba yet information
comes from those on the ground indi-
eating that the postal frauds are a
mere bagatelle compared to what has
been looted In other directions.
President McKinley's oft-repeated
aphorism about being the instrument
ofProvidence is paraphrased by certain
officials in Cuba to read: Providence
is in it, we're in 1t and there's money
in it," Cuba for the past year has
been regarded as promising place for
administration favorites who desired
to reap an abundant harvest.
In the face of all this the republican
platform will congratulate President
Mckinley upon his able and wise adj
ministration and point out to the
Cubans how lucky they are to be re-
leased from Spanish oppression.
Will Whitewash Consress.
With congress out of the way the re-
publicans are busily preparing for
their national convention and for the
platform which shall carefully gloss
over the shortcomings of the recent
congress.
1t will deal largely in promises. A
number of measures like the antitrust
| bill, the Nicaragua canal bill and the
eight-hour bill were purposely put
through the house and held up in the
hooks on which to hang promises.
For instance the people will be prom
| ised that trusts will be restrained if
the republican party is returned to
power.
AT the same time the trusts will be
assessed because Mark Hanna has con-
| siderately looked after them and pre-
vented any legislation which might en-
barrass them. Twenty such examples
of striker" legisla ton might be cited
It is expected however, by the repub
lican leaders that the voters will be
completely fooled by this clever ruse.
Democrats United.
The democratic convention at Kan.
sas City, on the other hand, will voice
the protest of the people against the
republican lawlessness, extravaganza
and recklessness. Democrats all over
| the country stand united for cam
paign of principle. They are attract
ing to the party every voter who wants
constitutional government as OPP
posed to imperialism and militarism
They are attracting those who want
an honest and impartial administra-
! ton of the laws, as contrasted with
the fragrant abuses and violations of
law which have characterized this ad-
ministration.

burning by Boxers of nineteen Catholic
Christians, now reports having re-
celVed further confirmation of the
burning of native Christians. He now

age.
Maitre Foucald, counsel for Vert
heimer replied, saying that the au-
thenticity of only five articles, of the
value of 100000 francs. could possibly
be questioned, and while Wertheimcr
affirmed their genuineness, he would
consent to another expert examination,
on the understanding that if the articles
were declared spurious the 100000
francs was to be struck out of the bill;
but if they were declared genuine, the
Castellanes were to pay the full price,
no revaluation being admitted. Vert
heimer, counsel added, opposed the
restitution Of the art works which the
Count de Castellane gave him in pledge
for the payment of the total Of the bill
on the eve Of his departure for America.
Maitre Bonuat again spoke. asserting
that the Castellanes only secured de
Laws in payment and the withdrawal OF
Wertheimer's suit by fresh purchases
of articles for 100000 francs, which were
barely worth $4,000 francs. This. cOun-
sci claimed, was selling delays at usur-
ious rates.

Mr.. Bryan, whose subject was 'Prin-

AT this banquet surrounded by
ueighbOTS who have been my friends
tor years, I may be pardoned for say
ing a word of a personal nature. Five
times you have voted for me for pub
lie Offices-twice for congress, once for
the United States senate and twice for
the presidency-and no candidate ever
received more loyal support than you
have given.
Whether I shall ever be a candidate
for Office again is a question which
must be determined by events. No one
can speak with certainty Of the future
for ones destiny is not known until his
LIES work is completed. 1 shall be
content if it is my lot to aid in the
triumph of the principles while others
enjoy the hon0rs and bear the respon-
sibility of Office.
The holding Of public positions
should be an incident and not the aim
for the citizen. 1t should not be an
end. but the means for the accomplish
ment of d purpose.
