World-storm Brewing

Chicago News.
While the fall of Tien Tsin and the re-
port that the legations at Pekin are still
alive have enlightened the gloom of the
Chinese situation temporarily, there are
other considerations in the background
that are weighty and fraught possibly
with graFeoneeil The spectacle OF Eu-
rope, America and Japan arrayed to-
gether in the Orient on the side of adj
vanced civilization is in itself inspiring
Nothing like It has been seen in all the
world. Tho nearest approach to the
present situation is to be found in the
crusades. when the knights and paladins
of Europe led western nations against
the infilels of the east in an attempt to
gain possession OF the holy sepulchre
But granting that the allies. as they
are somewhat loosely called. capture Pc
kin, what then? 1t is probable that this
would be only the beginning Of a greater
struggle whose storm area may involve
the entire world. 1t has been no secret
for several years that the European pow
ers have planned the partition of China.
By one of the uncalculated chances that
partition is no longer possible on the old
basis. At that time America had not yet
been drawn into even the outer edge of
the slowly revolving forces which have
now caught up practically all the nations
of the world in their mighty grasp. Amer
lea even yet stands for different princi-
pie and policy in China from that OF the
Powers. While Russia, England. Ger
many and France and possibly other Eu-
ropean nations, together with Japan,
have accustomed themselves 10 view as a
matter of business and as inevitable the
partition of China, America, already with
all the territory il wants. stands for Chi
nese integrity and the fuifllment of pres
ent treaty rights as being Of greatest adj
vantage and benefit 10 her. 1t requires
little knowledge of diplomacy TO see that
even We're a new congress of nations
called TO consider the question Of Chinese
partition there would be little prospect
of reaching a harmonious conclusion. In
that case war would result and il might
readily involve not only the so-called al
lies but the Chinese themselves in a
struggle whose consequence no one can
foresee.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
TIE NEWS leRoM PENN.

Minister WI announces that he has
received Geographic news from Pekin
that United States Minister Conger
was safe on the 18th OF the present
month, and transmits telegram from
the Minister himself, in which it is
distinctly stated that the legationers
are being bombarded daily, and are in
a desperate situation. He adds dis
sinctly that this bombardment is by
"Chinese troops If that expression
means anything it means Imperial
troops. Holding fast to that idea, no.
tice that the Chinese Minister at Wash
ington, apparently for the asking. got
message through to Pekin and a
prompt answer, whereas the Ministers
have not been allowed to communicate
with their governments for more than
month Mr.. WI represents the Chi
nese government; he can do things
impossible for combined Europe,
America and Japan. 1t is manifest,
therefore. that there is a Chinese gov
eminent still in existence, and that
it promptly answers the cablegrams of
its representatives in foreign nations.
At the same time it declines to per-
nit the Ministers of the powers to
communicate with their governments,
except upon especial request by a
favored nation. through Imperial chan
nels, and then the answer comes
promptly enough.
1t all goes TO show that the Chinese
talk about a rebellion paralyzing the
government, and that the latter is not
responsible for what has happened or
may happen, is rot spure and simple.

without Uncle SANS consent.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-lt is un-
derstood the President and Gen. Wood
have agreed on September 10 as the
time for holding the election in Cuba
for delegates to the constitutional con
yention that is to be called for the pur-
pose of formulating a constitution for
an independent government for Cuba.
1t is now hoped that the constitutional
convention will be held before the end
of the year, and if possible, as early as
October 49, There is no doubt that
any constitution which may be formu-
lated will be scrutinizgd with the
greatest care by the President and pos
sibly by Congress before it is allowed
to go into operation, for it is the set
tied conviction of the officials that Cuba
should not be permitted to make treat
les with foreign nations except through
the United States, nor should the peo-
pie be allowed to involve the island in
debt unless authorized to do so by this
government.

THREAT AGAINST ELKINS.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 90
There is a well defined rumor among
prominent Republicans here to the eff
feet that notice has been served on
Senator Elkins by j. K. Hall and his
friends that the first district demands
the Craftsmanship of the Republican
State Committee, and coupled with this
demand is a threat that if Mr.. Hall is
not given the Craftsmanship there will
be another candidate for the United
States Senate besides S. B. Elkins.
This other candidate is understood
to be Judge Nathan Golf, not that Judge
Golf is a candidate, but that the rank
and file Republicans are tired and sick
of the bossism of Elkins, and desire
to return to the old style of Republican
politics of the Golf brand. They say
Golf will gladly accept the Senatorship
if it be rendered him.

This is the American programme re-
lative to China, and definitely decided
upon by the President and his official
advisors
l. The United States will under no cir
cumstances join in the partition of China
among the powers.
>, The United States will use all its in
fiuence, to the utmost extent short of war
with European nations to prevent the
dismembermert of the Chinese Empire
5. Inc United states proposes to have a
voice the settlement of the Chinese
trouble and its voice will ever be raised
against spoilstion and in favor of preser-
walton OF China territorial and govern
mental entity, along the lines set forth
IN Secretary Hays note to the powers
4. The United States will not declare
war upon China on the present showing
of facts, no matter what other powers
may do.
5. The United States acting independ-
entity and for itself will cooperate with
| the other powers in restoring order in
China, in Furnishing all officials high or
| low, found guilty of crimes against hu-
man life, and in setting up a stable gov
eminent that may give guarantees of Sc
curity of life and property and freedom
of trade.
This declaration will stand until it
is changed. If China has really de-
clared war upon Russia, or if Russia.
Japan, Germany or Great Britain de-
clare war upon China, we will have to
modify our declaration that the empire
must be kept intact. or get mixed up in
the scrap" to an extent not now
dreamed of. A state of war between
China and any one of the powers is
liable to be announced any day. In the
end China would be beaten. Indem-
nifty, both in money and territory,
would be exacted. If we are to stand
for the integrity Of the empire we
would be compelled to intervene, or
very decidedly modify the position now
