New York, June 26-The Boer en-
voys who have been in this country for
two months past today issued an adj
dress to the people OF the United (
States. After expressing regret at In
ability to accept many invitations giv-
en- them. they express thanks to the
American public for deep sympathy
they have shown in the cause OF the
two struggling republics. The ad.s
dress goes on at great length into the
history Of the relations between Great
Britain and the Beers and taxes up the
various International questions which
contributed to the war and discuseeHs
them in great detail. making whole
sale denial Of the English representa-
tions. The address declares the war
was forced upon the Boors and the
claim is advanced that they took up
arms only in self defense. Taking up;
the campaign to date the address says
The Beers may IN the end be defeated
by overwhelming numbers and may
ultimately be forced to surrender owing
to the difficulty OF securing ammunition
and provisions. But the conduct of the
present war, as well as the history OF
the past hundred years justifies us In
saying they will never be conquered.'''
The address concludes by saying the
enjoys don't ask direct or forcible In
\ tervention OF the United States. but q
continuance of public sympathy and

Salisbury is still hopeful that the Chi

spite Of the alarming reports, he is In

does not mean that he helittles the pro-
fessons of the various viceroys who
have given notice of their Willingness
to cooperate with the united forces.
Without committing himself to a def

Someone has said that the story of

that the story Of Washington should

Springfield, H., June 26.-At noon toe
day 1t looks as II the democratic nomi-
nee for governor would be Samuel
Alschuier. Talk Of stampede for
Mayor Harrison has almost ceased and
there seems now to be little probability
that Harrison's name Will be presented
TO the convention, except to be voted
for by q few country delegates who are
under Instructions given some months
ago to vote for him. Harrison arrived
this morning and TO all who questioned
him stated he could not accept the
nomination. The friends Of Orendorff
still profess to be as confident as ever.
It is the program to defer the nominal
z tion of candidates till tomorrow. The
Cook county delegates are still enthusi-
astlcally for Orendorff.
The convention Is held in represent
alive hall and was called to order by
Chairman Watson. OF the state central
committee, at 1918 p. m. Prayer was
offered by Rev. F. w. Taylor. OF

Lexington, KY, June 26.-Leadine
democrats mere last night assert that
the Goebel election law will be
amended They say the democratic
state convention. which meets here on
July 10. Will request Governor Beckham
to call an extra session of the legisla-
ture for this purpose. 1t is further
stated that some other recommenda-
tions will be made looking toward the
passage Of some educational qualifica.
ton clause or discontinuing the use of
the party emblems. This latter propo-
sition is in most favor. 1t is argued
that by using simply the name OF the
party at the head Of the column nu-
merous complications will be avoided
which have under the present system
resulted in spoiled ballots.

Troops to the Front.
London, June 26.-Altho the powers at
last seem conscious OF the magnitude of
the Chinese peril, and are concertedly
hurrying forces to Taku the internation-
al troops available to overcome the inn
mediate perils Of the situation are ap-
parently totally Inadequate. Alarm not
only for the safety Of Admiral Seymour
and his party. who are not mentioned
in any dispatches purporting to come
from Pekin, but for his base at Tieni
sTsin, remains unrelieved. Almost the
only ray of light Is the report OF Sheng.
director OF railroads, forwarded by the.
French consul general at Shanghai, to
the effect that the legationers were safe
on the 18th and We're preparing to leave
the capital with the consent of the Chi
nese governments. But the motives OF
the Chinese officials in keeping the pow
ers appeased by reassuring messages
are too obvious to allow unreserved ac-
ceptance of their statements. Tien Tsin
is so hard pressed that it must be re-
lieyed before assistance can be sent to
Admiral Seymour's force. The absence
OF the exact date Of the last dispatch
from Taku and other messages makes 1t
difficult to connect the various stories.
but some of the dispatches might be
read as indicating that even the large
force mentioned by Admiral kempff as
about to start toward Tien Tsin has met
the same fate as the combined Ameri-
can and Russian column repulsed the
2lst. India is sending eight battalions
of infantry, cavalry regiment. artillery
and engineers as fighting force, be-
sides two battalions to guard the com-
munications.
The Official Gazette of st. Petersburg
contains an order OF the czar as fol-
lows: "As we consider 1t necessary to
lraise troops In the Amur military dis
trict to war footing. we direct the war
minister to take the requisite measures.
AT the same time we direct that the
necessary number OF reservists belong

The admiralty received the following
from Admiral Bunce. dated Taku. June
"a: THE total force which left Tien Tsln
with the commander-in-chief for Pekin
was about 1000. composed OF detach-

London. June 26.-Particulars of the
Beers latest raid on the Orange River
Colony railway. which reached London
indicate that the attack on Hdning-
;spruit saturda ycost the British thirty
one killed and wounded. The news has
also confirmed the belief that the most
urgent business at the seat of war at
present Is the suppression of President
steyn's forces, which continue to molest
her majesty's troops with annoying reg
ularity and uniform success, despite
frequent ..foutS inflicted on them by
Lord Methuen.

lie has been led to hope that the crush
Ing Of President Steyn's commands
and those under Gen. Dewet, by the
overwhelming British forces, was mere-
ly3a matter Of hours. Lord Roberts is
doubtless ready to do execution in that
direction when the complete separation
OF the Transvaal from the Orange Riv-
er Colony has been effected by the
