The Chinese Legation is said to have
received a native report that three thou
sand native officials in Pekin united in a
petition TO Prince Tuan to spare the Min
listers and foreigners in the city, and to
afford them safe conduct 10 the coast
Upon receipt of this round robin, it is al
legged, Prince Tuan Immediately ordered
that every one of the petitioners should
Immediately be slaughtered, which was &C.
cordingly done. Inasmuch as no Chinese
official for months has dared, even II he
wished, to show the slightest liberation
toward foreigners, the story may be safely
set down rs very clumsy lie. The gull
libility of the American and other Western
peoples evidently has encouraged the bar
barians to flights of imagination which
they would do wei to repress. They should
also distinctly understand that the reason
why the powers adhere to the fiction that
state OF war with China does not ex-
list is for their own convenience, and no.
that Of the Chinese.

race trouble in North Carolina in connec-
ton with the proposition TO amend the
State Constitution, which is to be submit

ed, will disfranchise all iliiterate negroes

PURSUANT To RESOLUTIONS
adopted by the Democratic State Central
Committee April 18th, 1900. Democratic
State Convention WAS called to meet at
Virginia City on
Thursday, September 9. 1900.
At o'clock p N. for the purpose Of nom-
mating three Presidential Electors; three
alternates; one Member Of Congress; one
Supreme Judge and two Regents of the
State University. Under the standard OF
apportionment adopted by the State Gen.
trial Committee. the different counties are
entitled 10 delegates as follows:
The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1900-07-20

What are the principles and tenets
of faith of the Silver Party of Nevada,
which distinguishes them from any
other party, and for the maintenance
of which they are willing to lay down
their lives, fortunes and sacred honor?
At its State Convention the party will
adopt the Kansas City Platform. The
party is composed of former Republic
cans and Democrats. The Republicans
have not changed their faith in the
blessings of a high protective tariff,
and the Democrats have not changed
their faith in tariff for revenue only.
But the Republicans in the Silver Party
hold free coinage the paramount issue,
and therefore waive their aversion to
a low tariff and will vote for Demo
cratic principles throughout, and stand
upon the Kansas City platform. Now,
if it is to their interest, and because it
is to their interest, to vote that way,
why not proceed to do so in the most
effective way-that is to say, through
that great national party which alone
can subserve their best interests? 1t is
admitted on every hand that success
is jeopardized by division of forces,
and G. A. Towne is highly enlogized
for his self-sacrifice in resigning the
Populist nomination for Vice-President
so as to promote the success of Bryan
and silver; and, strange to say, some
of the men who admire Towne for his
conduct fail to condemn themselves
for acting contrary to Towne. For in
stance, Wallace says Il don't know
what he thinks that Towne is great
patriot in withdrawing, SO as to ac-
complish. fusion. What is the proper
estimate of the character of Wallace
for his work in behalf of confusion?
All of his followers are in the same
category.

The News From China.

The news from China is most dis
tressing. 1t is probable that all the
foreigners in Pekin have been muir
dered. Reports from Ten Tsin show
that the allied forces suffered defeat in
a severe engagement there, and tie
loss is heavy on both sides, Colonel
Liscum of the Ninth Infantry heading
the list of American dead.
A later report says the allied troops
resumed the attack upon Tien Tsin on
the morning of July 14th and succeeded
in preaching the walls, capturing all
the forts. The Chinese were complete.
ly routed. The allies took possession
of the native city and defenses. The
total losses of the allies in the engage
ments of Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day were about 800 killed or wounded.
Casualties were greatest among the
Russians and Japanese.
A dispatch from Chez Foo, dated
July is, says the Chinese have mobil-
lied an army of $4,000 men.
Ten thousand American troops have
been ordered to China. This means
great activity in military circles in
San Francisco, as the troops will be
shipped from that port.

Probably not one person in ten can
tell offhand how many Presidential
tickets are in the field. Everybody

Democrats nominate Eugene V. Debbs
and Job Hartman. The third ticket
was placed in nomination by a faction
of the Socialists, the choice of the
convention falling upon Joseph 7.
Maloney and Valentine Remmill. The
United Christian ticket nominated the
Rev. SiIas G. Swallow and John g.
Wooley. The head of the United
Christian ticket has attained some
greatness as lighting parson.n Mr..
Swallow declined 10 have greatness
thrust upon him and declined the nom-
nation. The Rev. Francis E. Clark,
president Of the Society of Christian
Endeavorers, was named to take his
place. As Mr.. Wooley did not care to
run without Swallow, Charles II. Shell
don. the well known Topeka news
paperman, was chosen to fill the va
caney. The Prohibition party nomi-
mated John G. Wooley and Henry B.
Metealf The Middle Of the Road
Populists nominated Wharton Barker
and Ignatius Donnelly. Another con-
yention of Populists nominated Will
liam J. Bryan and Charles Towne.
The Republicans nominated William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
The ninth and probably the last ticket
was placed in the field by the Demo
Gratis with William J. Bryan and Adlai
E. Stevenson as standard-bearers.
