London, July 9.-Among the sensational

The Vice Presidency.

Everything relating to the vice presi-
dental nomination is in the air today. All
seem to be waiting for something to turn
up. Mr.. Shiveley or Indiana insists that
he is not candidate, and it appears likely
now that the convention will accept him
at his word Senator Hill is the foremost
figure in the problem. That he would ac-
cept the nomination if the party should
demand him there is no doubt, but his
friends consistently maintain that he is not
in the race.
Towne of Minnesota would be power
full candidate if he had not been nominated
already by the popuGsts. Opposition to
him has developed on the ground that this
convention should nominate straight out
democrat, rather than silver republican
or a populist.

Berlin, July 3.-Privy Councillor Ham
min informed the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press today that the official dis
patch announcing Baron Won Ketteler's
assassination was received. 1t was based
upon a direct written message conveyed
from Picking and signed by Won Bergen, a
member of the German legation at Peking,
and Sir Robert Hart, the inspector general
OF customs. 1t was addressed to the COM
mander of the European forces at Tientsin
and was forwarded June 20 by Consul Zim-
norman to the British consul at Chefoo.
The message contained a number of inter
esting details. Baron Won Ketteler, while
riding on horseback to the tsung Ii yamen
foreign office, was attacked by a large
number of Chinese, who pulled him off his
horse and beat him to death. An interpre-
ter who was with him was seriously in
jured, but escaped and subsequently reach
ed the German legation.
Herr Hammin supposes that there was
more bloodshed at the legation, the de-
struction of which he declares was more
alarming because the message adds the
condition of the whites in Picking was des
perate and aid was imperatively needed
1t was also announced that the ammuni
ton was almost exhausted. When Ham
min was asked whether the course of Ger
many or that of the other powers TOWARD
China will be altered by the assassination
of Baron Won Ketteler, he replied that h
was unable to answer the question, becaus'
Count Won Buelow, the minister of foreign
affairs, left here yesterday evening to NEE
Emperor William at Williamshaven befor
the alarming news was received here. i'll,
supposed Count Won Buelow will foregC
his vacation and remain in Berlin.
Herr Hammin was also asked if the Chi
nese minister here would be given his pass
ports, but the privy councillor did not re
ply.

Kempn Restored to Favor.

New York, July "a special from
Washington says:
The latest developments describing the
disastrous consequences at Picking OF the
attack ON the forts have caused revulsion
of official sentiment regarding Admiral
Kempff, who abstained from participation
in this act OF the foreign admirals. Otli-
cial anxiety had manifested itself for a
week in finding fault with him. No con-
cealment was made of the displeasure caus-
ed by his too brief dispatches with their
eXasperating omission of the most import
ant words, and his apparent failure to dis
criminate between what Washington was
anxious to know and what it looked upon
as trivial. Today more than one member
of the cabinet was ELUSIVE in making
amends for the structures of a week ago
and the sturdy, straightforward sailor ad-
miral is hero.

"KEMPFF."
Washington, July 3.-Cable advices
from Admiral Kempff fully confirm the
previous report of the murder of Won Ket
teller, the German minister at Peking. The
admiral also represents the situation of the
ministers as most desperate The shortage
of their food supplies reported by Admiral
Kempff gives rise to the gravest apprehen-
sion. Having been taken to Taku by run
ner the dispatch represented the ministers
condition at least five days ago, and there
is reason to fear the worst has happened
in the interim.
Admiral Kempff's favorable report of the
condition of the Oregon is believed by Sec
rotary Long to be based on the report Of
the commander of the japanese vessel
which generously offered assistance.
No further reinforcements have been or
dered to China, military or naval.

claims of the democrats indicated a
growing confidence The democratic
state central committee last night hit
up their figures a bit. That is, they
claim to have narrowed the probable
margin of a Mckinley victory in the
state to 5000, as against 5000, the out
side figure proclaimed last night. On,
the state ticket the claim of a minimum
majority of 1900 for Bronson for COVER
nor is raised to 1000. The democrats
also claim the defeat of Sperry, repub-
lican, in the Second congressional dis
trict by a close vote, and in the Ian
guage of the committee chairman,
"1ill, republican candidate for congress
in the Fourth district, has no walk
over"
The democrats also claim that they
will elect fifteen out of the twenty-four
state senators. The republican leaders
concede nothing, and with much calm
ness claim a sweeping victory through
out the state on president, state off,

1T is undoubtedly the fact, with re-
gard to this part of the country, at any
rate, that no consideration Is just now
operating with such tremendous effect
as the consideration of the dollar. l
want to say parenthetically, though
that I am not speaking now of the
technical economic properties OF tine
dollar-I am not a banker or political
economist, and yet, without being eth

righteousness, it is automatic to say
that dishonest dollar is national
fraud, and that to indulge in a dollar
that makes believe that it is q whole
dollar, when 1t is only half dollar,
would be to transform our entire peo-
pie into a great American Ananlas.

that the righteousness was not the only
thing to be sought by nation, ana
that, In fact, prosperity has some perlls
of its own.

Ohio cities. While the last census gave
Cincinnati a population of $4,000, it's
registration is S1,860, and a citizens
committee has been organizing to-day
for systematic work with detectives for

thai colonizations have been made in
some of the close congressional dis
tricts. Ohio has not fifteen republican
and six democratic congressman. The
republicans are trying hard to gain a
congressman in the Third district,
where N. F. Buckley, democrat, and r.
NJ Nevin, republican, are the candi-
dates and this is one of the districts in
which charges of fraud are made on
both sides. Congressman Van Voorhis,
republican, who is running for the
fifth term, is opposed by L. w. Ellen
wood, democrat, and the republicans
have some fractional trouble, but the re-
election of Van Voorhis is generally
conceded.

MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston, Nov. 4.--The work of arous-
ing interest in the last presidential cleo
ton of the nineteenth century among
the voters of Massachusetts which has
been prosecuted with considerable vigor
by the party leaders and orators is
nearly finished. That fifteen presiden-
tial electors pledged to Mckinley and
Roosevelt will be elected is claimed by
the republicans and conceded by the
democrats, but there is not quite such
an agreement as to the probable repub-
lican plurality or the complexion of the
Massachusetts delegates to the lower
house of congress- The republicans do
not hope for any such plurality as in
1896, when Mckinley had nearly 100000
votes more than Bryan, but will be con-
tent with something like 100, 600 for their
presidential candidate. The democrats
however, halve these figures, while they
also claim four of the thirteen congress-
men. The republicans believe that the
congressional result will be the same as
four years ago. when they elected
twelve and allowed the democrats only
one congressman in the state, who also
proved to be the only one in New Eng
land The delegation at present stands
ten republicans to three democrats.
The Massachusetts legislature will re-
main unchanged and next January will
probably return Hon. George #. Hoar to
the national senate.

BRYAN ARRIVES HOME,
To Devote To-day to Campaigning In
His Own State.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4.--Colonel Will
liam j. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan arrived
at their home in this city at o'clock
this evening coming direct from Chica-
go. They were driven to their resi-
dence on p street where Mr.. Bryan will
remain until tomorrow morning, when
he will start upon flying trip through
Nebraska, devoting the last day of the
campaign to his own state. During the
day Mr.. Bryan was asked for state
ment as to the probable outcome of the
election. In reply he said
1.-THE fight has been made and won.
Money and coercion robbed us of VIC
tory In 1896 but I believe they will be
powerless to change the result this time
The people are in earnest and very few
can be bought, Our organization is
much better than it was in 1896 and
therefore there is less danger of frauds
So far intinidations have been rare this
year, where they were very common in
1896, and even where intimidation has
been attempted 1t has angered the
employees rather than coerced them"
Mr.. Bryan's attention was called to
the address of Charles r. Flint and
others who claim to be democrats, but
who urge democrats to vote the repub-
lican ticket. Mr.. Bryan said that he
was very glad to find that Mr. Flint
was supporting Mckinley and added:
"Mr. Flint is the leading member of
the rubber goods manufacturing COM
pany and is also connected with the
starch trust. He has been the most
conspicuous defender of the trust prin-
oiple in the United States, having made
a speech at Boston in May, 1896, and
another at Chicago recently on that
subject I am glad to have all the trust
magnates support the republican ticket
for if [ am elected they will not be Wis
iting the White house and asking fav-
ors in return for campaign support.
"Our appeal is to the people who suf-
fer from the trusts not to the monopo-
lists who profit by them. Next to i'm
perialism and mllitarism the trust uues-
ton has done more than any other to
convince the plain people that the re-
publican party Is entirely given over to
the control of the organized wealth.

waite monopoly plumbers at home and
the large army advocated by the re-
publican party is intended to support
the system of spoilation at home and
abroad"

Denver, Col, Nov. Estate Chair
man Milton Smith of the democratic
party to-day estimated Bryan's plural
ity in Colorado at the coming election
at $4,000. Although a complete fusion
on the state ticket was effected when
the state conventions of the democrats,
silver republicans and populists were
held each party has maintained sepa-
rate headquarters during the campaign.
The chairman of the other two fusion
parties do not estimate Bryan's plu-
rality quite so literally, but both agree
that it will be more than 10000. Re-

Lyons, France, Nov. 4.--No disorders
marred the ceremony of unwilling the
monument to the late President Carnot
here to-day or the luncheon rendered
President Loubet by the chamber of
| commerce which followed the unveiling,
although the socialist committee had
posted bills calling upon their follow
ers to make the demonstration in pro-
test against the chamber of commerce,
which is regarded by them as clerical
and reactionary.
NJ Loubet was greeted with over
whelming acclamations, although occa-
sionally along the route cries of "Nive
la Sociale revolution We're heard,
mingled with denunciations of the cler-
ical party. A. few groups We're dis
persed by the police, but nothing in the
nature of an organized demonstration
developed.
There was an imposing mobilization
of troops along the route to the monu-
ment Cavalry, infantry and artillery
We're massed at the cross roads and in
the squares, rendering another Garnet
assassination impossible. The presi-
dents carriage was surrounded by
Cuirassiers.
In his speech President Loubet said
he wished to demolish the myth that
the government was the enemy of any
religion and expressed good feeling to-
ward the army and counted on its loyal
ty. Prior to his speech heannounced that
he had received the following telegram
from Emperor Nicholas at Livadia:
THE unwilling of a monument to one
of your illustrious predecessors wildly
reminds me of the important services
rendered to France by the late President
Garnot and his active cooperation in
the great work of bringing together
with essential pacific objects our friend
ly and allied countries. In heartily as
sociating myself with this ceremony, I
beg that you will ever believe in my
sincere and unchanging friendship"
After the applause had subsidized NJ
Loubet said: France is grateful for the
expression of such sentiments. In my
reply / believe / have been the inter-
prefer Of the feeling of all French citi
Gems" M. Loubet's reply to the czar,
which was not read at the banquet, was
as follows:
Il am deeply touched by your males
tvs generous thought in associating
yourself with the homage rendered to
the memory Of Carnot by the city of
Lyons. France highly appreciates this
fresh token of affectionate sympathy
Nor does she forget the part your illus
trious father took with, as you so well
say, essentially pacific objects In bring
ing together friendly and allied coun-
tries, and she piously unites in her ven
Grafton and her memory the names of
Alexander and Carnot. 1t is not only
in my own name, but in the name of all
France that | present to your majes-
ty my warm thanks
An exciting incident occurred during
the afternoon. A middle aged man
mounted the monument and began
speaking to the crowd Suddenly he
drew a razor from his pocket and cut
his throat. He was taken to the hos
pital in dying condition. This even

honor of the presence of NJ Loubet
