Boss Croker, the brains of Tammany

of the Belle Meade Stock Farm about
the latters recent interview which was
not fl altering to Bryan, said with a
great sho W Of anger "the man who votes
for Mckinley, votes for murder. This
imperialism which means the shooting
down of Negroes in the Philippine Is
lands Is nothing less than murder"
That's all rot said Captain Jackson and
he banged his fist on chair. Mr.,
Croker walked away and said no more
What would Mr.. Croker call his
white democratic brethren Of the
South, who also shoot down Negroes:
What name would he apply to the
Tammany terriers in brass buttons

New York right under his pug nose?
Who told Mr Croker that the Philip
pines are Negroes any how? And what
does he or his party care for the Ne

The census of 1890 shows that the
foreign population Of New York City
was $50 943, against native popula

top Those that have not won alder

UNEASINEss IN LONDON.
Over the Non-Arriyal of Direct News
from PeIsin.

New York, August ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says; 1t would
be idle to deny that there is good deal
OF uneasiness in official circles at the
ncn-arrival OF direct news from pekin,
Even allowing for the interruption OF the
telegraph line. it might have been thought
that runners could have been sent back 10
hold the communication II the requisite
moral effect had been produced by the
recent victories. II would seem, how
ever, that the anti foreign forces in Chi
ma Boxers and others, are not yet re-
dueed to submission. or even inspired
with as much terror of The European
army as could be desired. They must
have learned by this time that tney can
MT stand against civilized troops IN the
neid, and General Forwards engagement
at Tien Tsln Us another proof OF this.
Yet, whether inspired by mere ranati-
clsm or by hope OF assistance from other
quarters OF the empire, bands who oppose
the advance 90 not seem TO be dlspersins,
but are still gathered around pekln and
on the road TO the coast. In the capital
Itself the allies may have q difficult task
still, considering the vast population OF
the city and the numbers OF disorderly
Tartar clansmen who have been assem-
bling there for weeks past.
General Forwards statement that a
famine is imminent Unless supplies can
be forwarded quickly to Tien Tsin points
to another OF the difficulties with which
the allies have to contend. Ii is urgently
necessary that the road from Taku TO
Pekin should be rendered perfectly SCI
cure without delay. and II is doubtful
whether even now the forces accumulat-
ing at the coast are at all equal TO the
task.
No confirmation has yet been received
OF the alleged capture OF the empress
dowager and emperor. II they have got

waiting TO obtain exact information from
their representatives In Pekin. Germany
OF course, is quite content that the sus-
pense should prolong for some time, as

course OF the next few weeks. thus leav-
ing Great Britain free TO assume more
pronounced attitude In China II such a
course should seem desirable.
In financial circles anxiety is felt with
regard TO the virtual Russian seizure of
the north China railway and the govern
ment is strongly urged to demand guar
antee that the rights Of British Investors
shall be respected.
The reports from the south and central
provinces continue disquetlng, Vieeroy
