Review of the Situation.
LONDON. July 12. $3.50 a. m.-The Chi
nese situation again bears a most orhinous
aspect Eighteen days ago Sir Robert
Hart dispatched his last message, declar-
ing that the situation was desperate. and
since then no word has come from the
Europeans in Peking.
According to the Daily Mails Shanghai
correspondent. Ii Hung Chang has re-
ceived an imperial decree ordering his i'm
mediate departure for Peking. presumably
to break the news of the Peking tragedy
to the European powers. and. in his usual
role OF negotiator with Europe in difficult
matters. to endeavor to act as mediator
and to avert the vengeance of the powers
To add to the grimness of this suggestion,
all advices from Tien-Tsin tend to confirm
the reports Of the perilous condition OF the
allied forces and belle the optimistic Chi
nese rumors. Unless reinforcements speed
ily reach Tien-Tsin another disaster may
be expected.
The Daily Mails Tien-Tsin correspond
ent, telegraphing on July 5. says: 1.-The
situation is about as bad as 1t can well be-

relieving ourselves. A forward movement

are wanted. and there are only 10000 here
The foreign troops are working well to-
sether. but 1t Is inconvenient that there is
no supreme commander. In some quarters
the feeling Is let US rescue Peking and
then clear out in favor of Russia" "
Other Tien-Tsin correspondents say that
no advance is possible until Sept /. and
explanations are being asked by tae papers
here of the tardy action OF Japan in send

ready and willing TO send them and that

All kinds of stories come from Shanghai
which IL is impossible to verify. 1t Is

Fathers Crunoet, Corbel. Bourgeous and

From Canton comes a report of large
desertions from a German Chinese regi-
ment at Kiao-Chou. of riot between Ger
man troops and Boxers, many of the latter
being killed.
Both at Shanghai and Canton apprehen-
sion exists that these evidences of wide
spread native rebellion indicate the neces-
sity for immediate measures on the part
of the powers.
1t is stated that Germany intends to send
to China 10000 to 5000 men we'll equipped
with guns.
II was strongly rumored i'm service and
parliamentary clubs yesterday that the
British government was preparing to send
10000 Indian troops TO China In the
autumn. A Foreign Office official said that
no such amount of men could possibly be
spared from India. nor was it possible for
Great Britain TO add to her present respon-
| sibilities by sending out such force.
Wherever secured, however. he added. 1t
may safely be asserted that strong British
| reinforcements will be on their way to the
| far East before the end of September.
There is considerable comment here about
an Admiralty order suspending the granting

| longing TO the channel and reserve squad
rons. The order is reported to be connec-

NEBRASKA FUsIoNIsTs.


LINCOLN. Neb., July 1.-THE fusion
forces of Nebraska. including the Demo-
Gratis, Populists and Silver Republican
parties, held their state conventions here
to-day to nominate a full state and cleo
toral ticket. Some bitterness was evident
among the Populists over the defeat OF
their vice presidential candidate, Charles
A. Towne in the Democratic national con-
vention. and up to a late hour little had
been accomplished either by the conference
committee of the three parties which was
to decide the apportionment of the
Offices among the three parties. or in the
way of other business before the conven-
tions. ". j. Bryan and Charles A. Towne
made brief addresses at the Populist con-
vention. the latter remaining over night in
Lincoln In order TO do so. IL is probable
the work of the conventions will not be
finished before morning. as lively fights
are anticipated on nearly every nominal
ton.
The platform. adopted by the Democratic
convention reaffirms the declarations of
the national convention at Kansas City;
commends fusion in the election of United
States senator's, members of Congress and
state officers and pledges the nominees of
the convention to an economical adminis-
tration of state affairs.
The first note of discord among the Silver
Republicans came when Delegate Ransom
offered a set of resolutions approving the
reported withdrawal OF Charles A. Towne
as candidate for Vice President i'm favor OF
Adlai L. Stevenson. Protests came from
all over the hall and the resolutions were
