WHY Mr.. COX RESIGNED
ANTI-SALOON INTERESTS WE'RE
PREPARING TO FIGHT HIM.
Out of the Way-Mr. Hanna Ac-
cepts His Resignation.

CINCINNATI, July 3.-Ever since the
publication of the letter of George B. Cox,
of this city, to Chairman Hanna, resigning
as the Ohio member of the national Repub-
lican committee. there has been much agi-
tation In the State as to the cause of this
action. Neither Cox nor Hanna will talk
on the matter, but it is the consensus of
opinion that 1T is due more to the recent
action Of the Anti-Saloon League in the
State than to any other cause When the
Clark local option bill was pending in the
Legislature last winter this league charged
that George B. Cox and Senator Foraker
were the leading factors against the meas
ure, and the league accordingly had ar
ranged to make such a fight on Cox this
year as to overshadow all questions. Next
year members of the Legislature, as we'll
as a full State ticket, are to be elected.
AS Senator Foraker will come before the
next Legislature for reelection, the plan of
the league was to make the fight on Cox
this year and on Foraker the next.
The league had been opposing Cox long
before the Philadelphia convention met,
and, in anticipation of his selection as
national committeeman, had already pre-
pared an enormous volume of literature,
charging that he was formerly a liquor
dealer; that, as the head of the party in
this city, he had always protected the liquor
interests throughout other counties of the
State. The league had begun the circula-
ton of it's anti-Cox literature and was
prepared to flood the State with it, so that
it could force the issue on Cox above all
other issues, and possibly affect the result,
even in a presidential year. The resigna-
ton of Cox nullifies tons of this literature,
which was in process of distribution, and
it is conceded by all familiar with the cir
cumstances that Mr.. Cox told the truth
and covered the situation exactly in his
letter to Chairman Hanna when he said
that he resigned at this time for the best
interest of the party.
1t is not known what action the Anti
Saloon League in Ohio will now take during
the presidential campaign, but the league
certainly has a large stock Of campaign
literature on hand, and its future course is
being watched with much interest. The
following letter from Senator Hanna was
received by Mr.. Cox to-day, and he refused
to make any statement in connection with
it whatever, saying that he had fully
covered the situation in his letter of
June 80: 2
II am in receipt Of your letter of the 30th
ult., offering your resignation as the Ohio
member of the national Republican COM
mittee. 1 fully appreciate the spirit which
prompts your action in the matter as an
evidence of your loyal devotion to the
party's interests, and accept it in the same
spirit"

PORT ARTHUR TOO NARROW.
BattIeship Oregon Must BE DOcked at
n Japanese Port.


WASHINGTON. July 3.-Secretary Long
this morning received the following cable
gram from Lieut.. A. L. Key. naval attache
at the United States legation at Toxic,
Japan, in regard to the docking of the
Oregon:
Port Arthur too narrow. If Oregon can
not dock at Nagasaki. Japanese Navy De-
partment tenders the use of either Kuro
or Yokoksuka docks. Offers any assistance
desired. Has ordered the Akitsushima from
Che-Foo TO the Oregon. We have cabled
Wilde offer of docks"
The naval officials are disappointed at
the statement that the oregon cannot be
locked at Port Arthur. as that place is
only about sixty miles distant from where
she struck. Nagasaki is six hundred miles
distant, but can be reached by the Oregon
without venturing far outside of the toler-
ably smooth waters of the Gulf of Pe-Chi-
Ii. If the docks there are too small. then
she must push on to the Yokoksuka docks.
These are located just below Yokohama, in
the harbor. The Kuro docks referred to
are supposed to be the Kobe docks. The
difficulty in the case of the Oregon is that
she is fitted with bilge and docking keels.
making her very broad in the cross section
TO even large dry docks of the ordinary
construction.
The Japanese vessel A~kitsushima, which
Lieutenant Key reported as going to help
the Oregon, is the famous cruiser which
covered herself with renown at the battle
Of Yalu.

DEBATE IN THE COMMONS.
Efforts of Members to Learn the Pol.
ley of the British Government.


LONDON. July 3.-The parliamentary
secretary of the Foreign Office, Mr.. Will
liam st. John Broderick, replying to ques-
tions in the House of Commons to-day,
said he was able to add but little TO the
previous information about China. He re-
marked, however, that a telegram had been
received from the British consul at Tien-
Tsin, dated June %, saying the allied forces
had burned three arsenals, with an i'm
mense quantity of stores, powder and am
munition.
Mr.. William Pritchard Morgan, Liberal
(who has large concessions IN China),
moved an adjournment with the view of
debating the situation. He urged that the
government should be more energetic in
taking steps to rescue the legations at Pc
king, and claimed it should insist that Ii
Hung Chang be appointed regent.
Mr.. John Dillon, Irish Nationalist, said
he wanted to know If America was acting
In concert with the other powers at Taku.
Mr.. Broderick, in a general reply to pre-
vious speakers, referred to the intense
anxiety concerning the fate of the lega-
the present moment to attempt to draw
the government into a discussion of its
policy. The government. he continued, was
in a maze of uncertainty. The suggestion
that Ii Hung Chang be appointed regent
merited consideration among many pos
sible alternatives. He had no reason to
suppose the American admiral dissented
from the others regarding the attack on
Taku. The government hoped Japan would
supplement- the considerable contingent of
troops already landed, and the government
cid not think any power discouraged the
idea of Japan undertaking the work In
conclusion, Mr.. Broderick informed the
House that the government could not now
discuss the future government of China. its
sole p-reoccupation at present being to save
the legations.
The motion for an adjournment was then
withdrawn.

HARD COAL GOES UP.
Raise of Twenty-Five Cents ON the
Ton at Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The advance in the
price of the best grade Of hard coal from
Sc to $6.25. that has just gone into effect
here, is unprecedented for the season and
is thought to indicate still higher prices
for winter. On July 1, 1899. the price was
Sc and three months later it had been raised
to 81.
Speaking OF the increase in price of 25
cents a ton one dealer said: This is only
a sign of general prosperity throughout the
country. The factories are operating to the
extent Of their capacity and are buying
more coal than they have purchased for
years at this season. Another thing is the
foreign demand. The price of coal in Eng
land, Germany and France has doubled
during the last year and our exports have
been wonderfully heavy. The Pennsyl-
vania combine is also to a certain extent
responsible for this as we'll as the reduc-
ton of the miners hours from ten to eight
hours a day."

American Civil Engineers shown
Over Windsor Castle.

LONDON, July 3.-The American civil en-

afternoon. After tea the Queen drove in the
grounds and at her special request the rep
resentative American visitors were pre-

American civil engineers, and Mrs. Wal

was most affable. Her Majesty said she
hoped her visitors were having a pleasant
time and said she was delighted to have

hoping the visitors would have a profitable
stay, the Queen was driven away.

COUNT CAssINI SURPRISED.
Thinks There Has Been a Great
Change in Chinese as Fighters.

PARIS, July 3.-Coun Cassini, who was
formerly minister to China, in an inter-
view, to-day, said: What surprises me
most is to see the Chinese resist as they
are doing When 1 learned that the Chi
nese had purchased in Germany of recent
years fifteen thousand Mausers, with a
thousand cartridges for each rifle. 1 felt
satisfied 1t was money wasted. Recent
events show / was wrong. Port Arthur. a
first-class fortress, was captured with a
loss Of fifteen men TO the japanese. but
nearly one hundred Europeans were killed
and wounded in the capture Of the paltry
forts at Taku. 1t must be admitted that
this is a serious change. The discipline OF
the Chinese has also changed"
Count Cassini does not believe the Chi
nese government itself at first directed the
insurrection. nor does he share the idea
that the dowager Empress has become the
instrument of Prince Tuan. He says she
is a woman of such strong will that she
would rather commit suicide than submit
to the will of another. He does not believe
she has fled from Picking.
The count further remarked: The Chi
nese are certainly encouraged by the sue

a people which does not allow a blow to it's
national pride to go unpublished, Kaiser
Wilhelm dwell strongly not only upon Ger
many, but also upon general interests. The
Peking deed of horror TO him is an awful
crime against civilization ITSELF.
The Tageblatt dwells strongly on the EN-
peror's use of the word war" and says
the Kaiser meant thereby not a formal
war, but a campaigning of redress. The
paper declares that it is highly advisable
that the Reichstag should hold an extra
peror has in all measures which he deemed
necessary a united nation behind him.
The National Zeitung declares that the
Emperor's speech is in full accord with the
national sentiment. but argues against an
extra session of the Reichstag.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung praises the
Emperor's vigorous message, but says the
object must be to restore order in the dis
tricts of China where the revolt occurred
and to obtain sufficient redress for Baron
Won Ketteler's assassination. Anything be-
yond that, the Zeitung asserts. would be Of
evil.
The Freissinige Zeitung says the occupa-
ton of Picking will be most likely to make
a moral impression upon the Chinese, add
ing: But whether even then an actual and
permanent peace can be effected with an
empire evidently succumbing more and
more to anarchy is questioned We up
