THE REPUBLICAN
 CONTESTS SETTLED
BroWnIow Faction Wins from Evans Men in Tennessee.
DELAWARE CASE STILL UP
Senator Hanna, Earnestly Anxious to Harmonize the Factions from Del aware, Has Urged Another
 Attempt at Agreement

Philadelphia, June 15-The Republican National Committee today put in three long sessions on contests and adjourned tonight with all three practically disposed of ex- cept that from Delaware. This has been referred back to the subcommittee with instructions to again endeavor to bring the factions to a basis of agreement, and will receive final action tomorrow. An import ant action today was the seating of the Brownlow delegates in the Tennessee con- test and refusing admission to the friends of Pension Commissioner Evans. The con- test was very bitter, and at one time there was the possibility of Q serious encounter between Brownlow and Evans.
 Quite the most interesting feature of the day was the speech of Senator Hanna in the Delaware case.
 Senator Hanna is earnestly anxious to barmonize the factions in Delaware, and his speech before the committee today urging another attempt at agreement showed his feeling in the matter The ac- ton of the committee in the various con- tests has caused it to be very generally remarked that 1t has not been influenced in the least by the leaders. Senator Hanna S friends from the South, especially the office holders, have received scant considerat tion
 Where there were rival factions of office holders, as in Alabama, both sides have been denied seats. The defeat of Wimberly in Louisiana and the elevation of War mouth is said to have been distinctly an- tagonistic to the wishes of the close friends of the administration, as Wimberley was sustained by the administration in the fight that was made against his confirmation when he was appointed collector of the port or New Orleans. It was in opposing this confirmation that Yarmouth took occasion to make some bitter remarks about Sena- tor Hanna, who was supporting Wimberley In the New York case, it is asserted that the decision was against Senator Platt and other cases are instanced by members Of the committee as examples of independ- ent action.

DEWET'S CLEVER ATTACK

London, June 16.-4 a. m-Lord Roberts with the Boers withdrawn to new positions Tuesday. News of fresh fighting is ex rected at the war office, but none came last night.
 General Bundles patrol had a skirmish with Boer videttes again Wednesday. Some wonder is expressed here as to what he is doing with three divisions. It is assumed by some that General Butler will move into Orange River Colony and cooperate with Lord Methuen and General Rundle in bag ging President Steyn and his seven or eight thousand followers.
 Part of Christian Botha's force has halt ed at Paardekop, eighteen miles northwest of Volksrust. Boer parties are still near Volksrust, and fire occasionally upon the British pickets.
 The British government is considering whether a substantial force should not be sent to China from South Africa. It is thought unofficially that Lord Roberts could spare a brigade or two and the nec- essary transports are now in South African waters The commander of the expedition, it is said would probably be General Sir William Nicholson.
 A dispatch from Lourenzo Marques, dated yesterday, says:
 Persons have arrived here who have seen the preparations of the Boers, and learned that they will retire when forced through the Lydenburg district into the Seoulpansburg region adjoining Rhodesia and Gazetland'
 Dewet's Clever Work
 The Daily Mail has dispatch from Bloemfontein dated Wednesday, saying:
 General Dewet's attack on the railway was made after he had succeeded in lur- ing Lord Methuen from where he had de- stroyed the line. Then he cleverly seized it north of Kroonstadt, blew up the bridge and destroyed a large section of the line with dynamite.
 Major General Baden-Powell has been appointed to the rank of lieutenant gen. eral.
 The Capetown correspondent of the Daily Telegraph in dispatch dated yesterday, says:
 T understand that General Dewet, in addition to the Derbyshire battalion, cap turned two companies of the city volun- teers and two companies of yeomanry, two men only escaping to tell the tae'
 The Lourenzo Marques correspondent of the Times says:
 Tt appears that Steyn and not Kruger is now the stumbling block in the way of the surrender of the burghers. Shortly af- ter the British entry into Pretoria MT. Kruger proposed to reopen the peace ne- gotiations. MT. Steyn, bearing in mind that his former advice was secuted, de- murred to this and pointed out that, ac- cording to the treaty between the -apuo- lies, neither could conclude peace without the other.
 MT Kruger, equally unwilling to inca7 the charge of a breach of faith, had to continue the war. Nothing further is known regarding the rumored peace nego- tiations; but it is matter of notoriety that MT. Kruger favors peace almost any terms, but dislikes personally to raKe an initiative that would involve uncon- ditional surrender"

MORE MARINES NEEDED
The Officials at Washington Mapping
 Out a Plan

Washington, June 15.-The officials this afternoon were considering putting out of commission several of the big ships att tached to Admiral Remeys fleet, notably the Oregon, and adding the sailors and marines so released to Admiral Memphis landing force. The big ships carry on an average more than 300 men apiece There Is q growing belief that it will be neces.. sary to organize another expedtionary force at Ten Tsin to maintain the com munications of Admiral Seymour's column which, with limited supplies, will be in severe need very shortly unless it can force it's way through to Pekin. The Mon acacy arrived this afternoon at Taku, and if there were an emergency, by pushing on up the river she could have reached Tien Tsn before dark. The Monacacy on such short trip could easily carry fully 800 men in addition to her own crew. so that the safety of the foreigners at Tien Tsin probably is assured.
 Secretary Root today admitted that the general Chinese situation was discussed at the meeting of the cabinet today and that Secretary Hay furnished all the informa- tion he had on the subject. The Secretary was asked whether it had been finally de- cided to send any troops to China from the Philippines, and replied that it had not He was willing to make the general as- sertion that troops would be sent to China in case it was found that there was great CT necessity for them there than in the Philippines. So far as he was advised there was nothing in the present situation in China to call for the immediate despatch of troops from the Philippines.
