PRINCE TUAN'S EDICT
Says the Anger of the People Knew
 No Bounds

London, July 12-The Shanghai corre- spondent of the Express gives the text of a long edict of Prince Yuan, dated June 29, and addressed to the ambassador, in which the empress declares it Is identical with the message from Emperor Kwang Hsu, men tioned by the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail and the Chinese edict pub lished in Washington. The empress con- siders that the edict proves that Prince Tuan's party Is making an attempt to dis guise the fact that the worst that could be anticipated has happened The edict contains the following paragraphs:
 'The anger of our people knew no bounds.
 'They could not be restrained The task of guarding the legations, which before difficult, was made impossible"
 Elsewhere, referring to the desire to pro- tect the legations still unharmed, 1t says:
 'If 1t is impossible for us to continue this protection let 1t be reported to the powers that we, must be held blameless for the anger of our people grows with the rising

GERMANY GOING
 FOR THE CHINAMEN
More Transports Pressed Into Service by Emperor William.
IS NOT A WAR WITH CHINA
Such is Germany's Feigned Attitude, But Warlike Preparations Con- tinue-N othing Authentic from
 Pekin Yet Received

Berlin, July 1.-The government regards the Chinese situation today as virtually un- changed. No authentic news has been re- ceiyed from Pekin and the news from Tfen Tsin is if anything worse. According to the semi-official Post, Emperor Williams trip to Norway will last till August 6 unless, the weightiest news arrives requir- ing his nasty return.
 Dr. Mumm Von Schwarzensteins appoint ment as minister to China is interpreted as a proof that Germany regards herself as not at war with China. The appointment is meant especially for Russia, to show that Germany means to continue her China pol icy with Russia. pr. Won Schwarzenstein, who Is considered one of the brightest and most promising German diplomats, and who until now 1t was generally supposed would succeed Dr. Won Holleben at Washington, promptly declared that he was ready to as- sume the dangerous mission at the Em- peror's personal desire.
 At the Chinese legation here today rep- resentative of the Associated Press was in- formed that the Viceroy had sent informa- ton that, the rising had declined and would soon be quelled. The legation officials do not believe the other ministers at Pekfn have been murdered. Baron Won Ketteler's assassination, they say, does not mean that the Chinese anti-foreign aggression is especially aimed at the Germans. The ignorant rabble, comprising the Boxers. say the officials do not know the difference be- tween Englishmen and Germans. To them all are simply foreigners. It is believed at the legation that the report Is true that the Dowager Empress is again in power. The officials are unable to say whether or not Prince Yuan was responsible for the Pekin outrages.

 Hearty Applause

Lincoln, Neb., July 1.-The Democratic State Convention was called to order at p. m. by Chairman T. J. Doyle. His inci- dental reference to w. J. Bryan brought out hearty cheers.
 Following the appointment of a commit tee on credentials and an unsuccessful ef- fort to take a recess of an hour w. D. Oldham, of Lincoln, and R. S. Bibb, of Beatrice, addressed the convention. MT. Bibb, four years ago, repudiated the free silver plank of the Democratic National Convention and supported Mckinley His speech served to announce his reconver- sion to the principles of Democracy

Most of the bodies were so badly burned or mutilated that recog- milton was impossible, but several were identified by initials or names on articles taken from parts of clothing that some- times remained. All of them appeared to be workmen in the holds of the steamship Great pumps were worked in the Saale to- day, and by 2:20 D. m. the vessel was fioated The ship was in nine or ten feet of mud, and when she finally freed her. self from this mud she seemed to jump fully two feet out of the water.

ed fifteen piled in heap in the steward s locked. The fire did not get near the un- fortunate fifteen and their lives might have been saved but for the breaking of the glass in the windows. When the windows were broken the room filled with water and they were drowned like rats in a trap. These bodies were in a better state of preservation than the nine found before them. Other bodies were found as follows:
 Man, nude no marks of Identification.
 Woman in blue wrapper, wearing wed- ding ring with initials "R. w., 1S90.'
 Man with tin badge with initials "L. R."

 It was then nearly o'clock. Coroner Hoggman said he would not stop until all the bodies had been brought up, but his workmen said they could not see. There were eight bodies. according to the report of the coroners men, in the steward s room How many more there were in the ship no one could tell. It is believed by the workmen that all the bodies have been found The faces of the dead were hor- ribly distorted and swollen. The odor of the bodies pervaded the ship and was de- tected on the Jersey shore when the wind shifted that way.

FUSION FORCES GET TOGETHER Three Conventions Held in Lin-
 cOIn Yesterday ALL WORKING FOR HARMONY Some Bitterness Among Popu- lists Concerning Towne. HE WILL WITHDRAW FROM RACE In a Speech He So Intimated His In- tentions-He Says He Will
 Work Just as Hard for
 Success
HE WILL WITHDRAW FROM RACE

Lincoln, Neb., July 1.-The fusion forces of Nebraska, including the Democratic, Populist and Silver Republican parties, held their State conventions here today to nom- mate full State and electoral ticket. Soma bitterness was evident among the PopullstS over the defeat of their vice-Presidentiai candidate, Charles A. Towne in the Dem ocratic National Convention and up to late hour little had been accomplished either by the conference committee of the three parties, which was to decide on the apportionment of the officers among the three parties or in the way of other busi- ness before the convention. w. J. Bryan and c. A. Towne made brief addresses at the Fopulist convention.
 It is probable that the work of the con- vention will not be finished before mornI ing, as likely fights are anticipated on nearly every nomination.
 The Free Silver Republicans organized by electing George Hibner of Lincoln tenn porary and then permanent chairman.
 The first note of discord among the Sil- yer Republicans came when Delegate Ran som offered a set of resolutions, approving the reported withdrawal of Charles A. Towne candidate for Vice President in favor of Adlai E. Stevenson. Protests came from all over the hall, and the resolutions were withdrawn. MT. Towne, who was pres ent, was called out, and in short speech practically announced his intention to with draw, but adding that he would take as active part in the campaign and work as hard for the success of the ticket as if he was a candidate.
 The resolutions as finally adopted indorse the Kansas City Silver Republican plat form, and recite that in accordance with the action taken at that convention, the Free Silver Republican party of Nebraska pledges it's support to w. J. Bryan and Adlai D. Stevenson for President and Vice President.

ALLIED TROOPS HAVE
 MET DEFEAT IN CHINA
General Ma Reoccupied the Chinese Eastern Arsenal, Infiicting Great Loss
 Upon It's Defenders.

London, July 12.-The Express this morn- ing publishes a dispatch from Tien Tsin, dated Friday last, via Che Foo, saying:
 General Ma has defeated the allied troops and reoccupied the Chinese eastern arsenal, after inficting great loss upon the defenders. The engagement lasted six hours and was fought with great determination by both sides. The Chinese were eventually forced to utilize the effective guns of the fort, abutting on the city walls near the Tao Tai Yamen, the allied troops suffering severely from lack of heavy guns and cav airy.

THE POPULISTS
Chairman Urged Delegates to Work in
 Unity for Reform

Lincoln, Neb., July 1.-The Populist State Convention was called to order at 3:15 m. by State Chairman Edmfston with over 1,2O0 delegates present. Chafr-/ man Edmiston, in his opening address, urging that the delegates work in unity in the interest of the reform forces, made reference to w. J. Bryan as that nobie man. that freeman who represents the in terests of common humanity" and was en- Enthusiastically cheered
 Senator W. V. Allen was made tempor- ary chairman, and made a plea for har- mcry and conservatism.
 The convention got into another wrangle over the committee on conference with the Democrats and Silver Republicans. The far western counties where the middle-of- the-road movement Is strong, insisted on the election of the committee by Congress sional districts instead of leaving the ap- pointments to the chair. This motion final ly prevailed.
 None of the committees were ready to report when the Populist Convention re- assembled at 8:30 p .m, and after waiting 45 minutes the selection of the State Gen. tral Committee was taken up. The con- vention then listened to speeches until 10 p. m when the report of the committee on rules and order of business was presented and adopted. Charles A. Towne was then introduced amid tremendous cheering. Mir. Continued on second Page).

 We stand today on historic ground.
 Charleston and South Carolina have made
 history--history that will always hold
 prominent place in the annals Of our coun-
 try but South Carolina was never greater,
 prouder than today, when with open arms
 and generous hospitality she extends
 welcome to the educators of America, re-
 gardless of race or color. The world Is
 moving forward, not backward. Under the
 shadow of Fect S' npter we find ourselves. If history be true, think that it was near

 weapons, came to this vicinity to bring
 cheer, comfort, food and endorsements to

into Charleston today comes with guns beaten into plow-shares, with swords beat en into pruning hooks. It comes with no special regalia; 1t comes without sword and without cannon. It comes, it is true, to bring relief and comfort, but it is the relief, the freedom, that proceeds from the spread of intelligence, kindness, generosity, usefulness forbearance, among all races and among all classes. In this spirit and in this motive we have come to take Fort Sumpter anew. Already the fort has sur rendered and Charleston is ours. It is when we witness such scenes as this that our faith in the final ability of our coun- try to work successfully all of its race problems grows stronger and more secure, and that ducatfon-educati0n of all the people in hand, head and heart-will be the ultimate solvent of all the vexed and try ing problems that surround and confront uS
 The Negro's Great Work
 In the south both races have had to con- tend with problems and difficulties such as no other people have had to meet. When we disarm ourselves of passion and pre- judce we must acknowledge that the south owes much to the negro. The negro owes much to the south. The black man is bound to the history, the customs, the people of the south by ties which few can understand or appreciate. Here 1t was that we came three centuries ago in our heathenism; here we were taught the religion of Christ; here we came without a language; here we were taught the Anglo-Saxon tongue; here came with untrained hands; here we were taught industry and thrift. My race has a further right to love and cherish the land of the south. In large degree it has been our brawn and muscle that have cleared the forests, opened the mines, built the railroads and grown the rice, cot ton and sugar that have enabled the south to become great and powerful. Here, side by side, the two races have been placed in the province of God, and here, in my opin- ion, they will remain.
 In order that the two races may live here In peace and prosperity, one or two things should always be kept in mind. The white

Pure Liquors for Medicine.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Sibley of
Montpelier, may not pass, but there
is much to be said in favor of the idea
Liquors used as medicine should be
strictly pure and of uniform quail
ity. 1t is notorious that the liquor
dealers find the average town pur-
chasing agent an easy mark and the
quality of the liquors sold in the AVER
age agency is decidedly bad. This is
not because the men who buy and sell
for the towns are not honest, but be-
cause they do not know what pure
liquor is and cannot tell the good
from the bad. Ii the state should
purchase all the liquors and supply
the town and city agencies there is 40
question but the people would get
purer liquors, at lower prices, than
at present. Whether this bill, in de-
tail, is the best that could be devised
we cannot say, but the idea is cor-
tainly the correct one. The state
should purchase all the liquors sold by
law in the state and those liquors
should be pure and sold at actual
cost.
