state. Practically all the prominent lead
ers In the party, such as Senator Villas,
Gen. Bragg, Ellis B. Usher, J. J. Hogan
and Burr w. Jones repudiated the Chi
cago platform and voted for Mckinley or
for Palmer; while National Committee
man E. c. Wall and Chairman George
W. Peck, of the state committee, and
many other Democrats supported the
Chicago platform and ticket under pro-
test, and made no secret Of their dis
satisfaction.
There is no doubt whatever that there
has been a great change in the situation.
The Democrats mentioned and others VINO
were of their way of thinking in sc and
'9S have not modified their views on the
silver clause in the Democratic platform,
but they seem disposed to forget this
matter for the time being in order that
they may register their protest against
what they regard as the dangerous leaning
of the Republican party toward imperial
ism and militarism. AS a matter Of fact,
there are no dissensions among Wiscon-
sin Democrats this year. They are unit
ed and enthusiastic. Several of the dele
gates to the Kansas City convention were
men who, at the Chicago convention in
1896, worked and voted against the ma
jority report of the committee on resolu-
tions, and afterwards took an active part
in the nomination of a third ticket A
canvass of the Gold Democrats in this
city discloses the fact that nearly all Of
them regard the new issues arising out
of the war with Spain as paramount at
this time, for which reason they will vote
the regular Democratic ticket
Apart from national questions, the con-
ditions in the state also are such as to
encourage Democratic hopes. R. NJ. La
Toilette, of Madison, the Republican nom
inee for governor, is a whirlwind in q
campaign and he has tremendously en-
thusiastic personal following. But he also
has many bitter enemies among the lead
ers Of his own party. He has been at
war with them ever since the time When
he publicly accused Senator Sawyer, now
deceased, with an attempt to influence
by bribery the decision of the court In
the suits brought by the state against
the former treasurers to recover interest
received by them on the state funds. He
has fought Gov. Scofield with bitter
ness which no Democrat has equaled
and he has for many years lived in q
state of war with Senator Spoener and
nearly all the other members who have
been honored by the party. The result il
that, although Mr.. La Toilette is the idol
Of large percentage of the Republicans,
he Is not expected to get the full party
vote.
The Democratic state convention will be
held in Milwaukee tomorrow Louis
Bohmrich, of Kenosha, is almost certain
to be nominated for governor. He is q
German-American lawyer of high char
acter and ability. Some time ago the
names discussed in connection with this
nomination were those of Mayor Rose, of
| Milwaukee, Timothy Ryan, Of Waukesha,
| and Judge Louis Marchetti, Of Wausau.

Stone. Of Mount Pleasant, superintendent
OF the Industrial department Of the hos
pital for the insane, was arrested last
night on information filed as directed bv
the board of control, and is having a
hearing today. He refuses to discuss the
alleged sales of goods.
Sensational disclosures have been made
that the industrial department of the hos
pital has been selling large Quantities of
state supplies for small part of their
value. John M. Stone IS superintendent.
and last week he arranged to deliver a
quantity Of state goods to purchaser in
Des Moines. Persons interested in the
exposure of the thefts furnished money.
and $50 was sent Mr.. Stone with an order
for a quantity of sole leather and hair
rope. It was requested the goods be sent
Z. .. D., the balance Of the purchase
price to be paid in this manner. The con-
signment was made, and the goods ar
rived in Des Moines yesterday. They
were delivered to the detective, who has
been ferreting out the facts, and this fur
n1shed the last link of evidence neces-
sary to connect Stone with the case. Last
night the board of control wired DR..
Hoyt, superintendent of the institution,
to arrest Stone.
The principal supplies that have been
unlawfully disposed of are sole AIeather
and hair rope for mattresses. The sup
plies are purchased at wholesale prices
for the different institutions by the board
Of control. 1t was the plan of those in
the scheme to have agents at some Of the
larger cities of the state, who could look
after the sale and shipment of goods. The
Des Moines agent was Tony Vaid, a for
mer inmate of the institution. He deter
mined to uncover the facts and through
his exposures the robberies have been
unearthed.

Judge William Mitchell, for twelve
years one of the judges of the supreme
court of Minnesota, was born in the town
of Stamford, County of Welland, Prov

education was obtained in private schools,

Bitter Dissens1Ons In the Repub-

Democracy.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. N.-(Special)-
There will be an exceedingly lively po-
ntical campaign in Wisconsin this year.
The Democrats are not without hopes Of
carrying the state, at any rate they are
determined to make an effort. If the sill
yer question were regarded as the domi-
nant issue at this time, the result would
be a foregene conclusion. No Democrat
would have the hardihood to claim that
his party could by any possible means
be successful. The Republican majority
four years ago was over 100000, and two
years ago the Republican state ticket was
elected by more than $1,000 majority, al
though there was a bitter factional fight
within the party. AS far as can be dis
covered, there has been no change of
sentiment in favor of Mr.. Bryan's ideas
on the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l. In 1856 the Gold Democrats
were stronger here than in any other

LONDON, Aug. 22-The Daily Express
prints this morning long letter, said
to have been written by Vice Admiral
Seymour, in which he stoutly defends his
action in advancing to the relief OF the
legationerss when he did, saying:
1.-TWO or three times our prospects were
very dark and disaster seemed probable.
Yet never regret that I started, as l
could not have respected myself l
had not done So"
Referring to the difficulties of control
ling mixed troops and to their character
istics, he says:
1.-The Germans we admired most, but
for dash and go, none surpassed or per-
haps equaled the Americans. The French
had no particular approachment with
any other nationality. The Germans and
Russians were inclined to hold together,
but the Americans were with US always.

news that reaches London this morning
direct from China, there Is nothing to
confirm the report that the empress dow
ager has been ru nto earth. The foreign

respondent of the Daily Express, are pro-

Rear Admiral Bruce reported.

Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Mail, wiring yesterday, "are now float
ing over the imperial palace. Street fight
ing, however, continues: Considerable as
sistance in the capture of Pekin was rem
dered by 1900 armed native Christians.
The legations were enabled to hold out
by purchasing ammunition from the Chi
nese."

But they have dropped out and left Mr.
Bohmrich in possession of the field. 1t
is thought that his nomination will be
especially popular among the German
citizens, whose support the Democrats
must secure If they are to make even q
decent showing in the election. Mr..
Bohmrich stayed in the party in 1896,
but he was known to be lukewarm in his
support of the Chicago platform. He
will receive many votes which could not
be secured four years ago, when w. G.
Silverthorn, OF Wausau, was nominated
for governor because he was the leading
representative in the state of the free
silver idea. Nobody knows who will be
chosen for the other places on the Demo-
cratic ticket. 1t may be that the con-

vention will renominate several of the
candidates of 1898. Or there may be an
entirely new ticket; nobody seems to
have given the matter thought. When
asked to suggest a possible slate, one of
the influential Democrats Of this place
made this guess: Governor, Louis
Bohmrich; lieutenant governor, Stephen
Richmond, of Arcadia; secretary Of state,
John A. Hobe, Of Superior; treasurer, An
drew Jensen, of Edgerton; attorney gen.
eral, ]. M. Clancy, of Stoughton. With
regard to the other places on the ticket,
no guess has been made.
This much is certain, however, the
Democrats are not going to let the case
go by default, but will make the best
fight possible.

Pekin and the war in China. ITntil ~
days session the absorbing question had
been the safety Of Minister Conger and
the legauoners at -Pekin. Now, however
that has given place to problems of a.
more intricate and far-reaching charac-
ter, touching the very existence of tha
Chinese empire and the part which the
American government is to take in the
reconstruction Of that country.
The meeting today was devoted entire1v
to the Chinese situations Secretaries Hay
and Root, who have been most active in
directing affairs, were absent from the
city. The attendance was comparatively
small, the president having with him
Secretaries Gage, Hitchcock and Wilson
and Postmaster Charles Emory Smith.
Several questions were awaiting attention.
First of all was the application Of Ii
Hung Chang for the appointment of Con-
ger or some other commissioner to ne
gotiate for the cessation of hostiities
The decision arrived at was to reject the
appeal, and a reply Of this character
will be sent to Minister WI, to be for
warded to Ii Hung Chang The moving
cause for this action is that this govern
ment is at present very much in the dark
as to whether there is any existing gov
ernment in China. With the capital in
the hands of the allies, the emperor and
empress dowager fugitives In Hiding, and
the entire governmental fabric paralyzed,
there Is no evidence of an authority ade-
quate to conduct negotiations and secure
results which will be final and binding.
