If Yesterdays news from Tientsin is cor
roborated today the American and British
forces will begin an advance on Pekin
without waiting longer for an agreement
on the subject with the commanders of the
other powers. It is probable, however,
that the Japanese contingent will join in
the movement, as Japan is acting with the
| United States and England, rather than
with the Continental States. 1t is sup
posed that Major General Chaffee will be
in Tientsin today TO take command of our
troops. As General Dorward is a major
general with an older commission than
that of Chaffee. it is probable that he
would command any strictly Anglo-AmeFi-
can expedition, while, If Japan should take
part in it. General Fukishama might be
selected as generai-in- chief inasmuch as
his rank is higher than that of either of
his colleagues.
There is satisfaction in observing that
our authorities have largely recovered from
the optimism which has until recently
affected them with blindness in regard to
the lying and treacherous reports of the
Chinese. Evidence that the legations had
sidered good enough to base hope on,
but not a very strong one Even what
appears to be the most reliable news from
Pekin is unsatisfactory, while if the
Chinese authorities are to be believed, the
inference is that the diplomats and other
foreigners have been either stormed or
starved into capitulation, in which latter
case it may be true that while few Min
listers have been spared on account of their
value as hostages, the remainder of the
legation people have been massacred. The
real story Of the tragedy in Pekin may
never be known until an international
force shall fight its way into the city. On

The Maryland Senator Opposed to
imperialism, and Mckinley.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 30.-To set
at rest the many published rumors that
Senator Wellington would support Bryan,
the Senator was seen at his office this
afternoon and asked to state his correct
position in the present campaign. He said
with much warmth:
II am unalterably and forever opposed
to Imperialism, which shall fight with all
my power. 1 am opposed to President
Mckinley because he has deceived RE in
national affairs. and / shall oppose his
reelection. 1 am not prepared to state
just what part | shall take in the cam
paign. but I will attend the liberty con-
gress at Indianapolis. -
He was then shown a despatch appear
ing in a Washington paper which stated
that it was rumored that he would take
the stump for Bryan, and he was asked
il it was correct. He said that It was. to
certain extent true, but there were some
things about Bryan that he did not like
very we'll. Wellington says that he is still
a Republican, however. The fact thas he
will support the man against whom he
carried Maryland four years ago has
created great enthusiasm among the Dem
oerats, who admit that. had he not Or
dered the reelection of Lowndes last fall,
the State would have gone Republican.

Porcine Manners.

Protests are still occasionally made
against the lend seat hogs" but the pub
lie in general seems to have given up in
despair the attempt to make him Tor herr
see reason. or course there is mo justi-
fication for the assumption that because
a passenger happens to get on the car
near the beginning of its course>h he or she
has the right to select the seat nearest
the entrance and stay there, blocking up
the way of each OF the three or four other
passengers who may wish to occupy the
same compartment. The first passenger
has not paid an extra fare for his seat
and he is not excused from the obligations
of common poiiteness merely because he
happens to be riding in car and not sit
ting at home in his parlor. He is no more
pardonable for making a woman with lot
of heavy bundles Chamber over his feet
and squeeze past him into place which
may or may not be in the hot sun. than
he would have the right. if he met that
woman on narrow footpath through a
bog, to push her out into the mud.
But there is another vicious custom,
which is only incipient at present, and
may come to be quite as great q nuisance
in time. 1t is that of deliberately climb
ing past other passengers in getting on
or off cars provided with aisles. 1t would
naturally be supposed that any sensible
person, rather than inconvenience one or
two people by scrambling, monkey fashion,
over their feet in getting in, would enter
the car by the rear platform, in the proper
way, and come down the aisle. But there
are soma people who will do this ungrace-
full thing, and it would serve them exactly
right if they should encounter one of their
own kind-an lend seat hog" disposed to
hold the fort at the end of the seat till
the conductor became tired of waiting and
rang the bell to start.
During the summer months cynics have
been known TO remark that there are more
nl-mannered people in Washington than
anywhere else in the civilized world As
the cynies of New York, Chicago, Boston,
and other cities. have been heard to say
the same thing about their own munich
pal homes. it may be that Washington is
not in such desperate case after all; but
it is certainly true that in hot weather
a great many people are inclined to lay
aside their common. ordinary pollteness
along with their winter clothes. 1t may
be that an investigation Of their effects
would reveal store of refinement and
delicate courtesy packed away in moth
balls and silver paper; but the chances
are that it would not. and that people
who are inexcusably rude on the street
cars at this time of year have no genuine
manners at any time. but only bargain
counter imitation.

TURNING TO DEMOCRACY.
Call for n Convention of CoIored

A movement that may develop consider
able political significance before the close
of the Presidential campaign is a project

colored people Of a number of States. The
scheme is being fathered by Charles

for the convention has been issued by au-

tc send a delegate for every Representa-
tive in Congress.

II is a singular fact that Mr. Bryan, the al

more moderate in his use Of language when char
acterizing his political opponents than the child
OF Fifth Avenue and Harvard, Governor Roose-
welt. The rough riders denunciation has wide
