able Democratic. convention. at Chicago,
in adopting the splendid platform and
nominating William j. Bryan for the
presidency, was actuated by an impulse
or by purpose. The magnificent
achievements at Kansas City has settled
all possible doubt on that subject. The
platform adopted not only re-enacts the
principles of 1896, but, in language, whose
force, dignity and beauty have never been
equaled in a similar document, responds
TO the new issue present in the growth of
the trust-monopoly and the imperiaHst.c
policy of the administration, by an ap-
propriate enunciation of those sublime
doctrines of human rights and liberties
whose profession and observance have
been the peculiar glory of our country
and are the sure basis of the ultimate
happiness of mankind. And again the
duty of carrying the banner of the cause
has been committed to that tried and
trusted hand whose grasp has never
weakened, which no fear can make to
falter and no burden can dismay. The
leadership of Bryan, which cou'd have re-
deemed bad platform, sanctifies a good
one. 1t made memorable an unsuccessful
contest: 1t will crown a victory with i'm
perishabfe splendor
With every sentiment of respect and
gratitude. l remain, most sincerely yours,

HONOR Of KING AUNB[RT
A SOLEMN MEMORIAL SERVICE
WILL BE HELD IN WASH
INGTON
MGR. GIBBONS THE CELEBRANT
President Mckinley and the Foreign
Ambassadors VIII Attend IN
BOdy-Last Tribute to
Dead Ruler.

WASHINGTON, Aug. baron Fava,
the Italian ambassador, announces that
a memorial funeral service will be held
at Washington on Aug. 10, at Ii o'clock,
in honor of King Humbert, President
Mckinley has already signifed his pur-
pose to come on from Canton and be pres
ent at the official ceremonies, and mem
bers Of the cabinet in the city also will
be present. The services will be at ct.
Matthew's Catholic church, with Cardinal
Gibbons as the principal dignitary of the
church, officiating All of the embassies
and legations In Washington have re-
ceived invitations to bespresent. the for
e1gn representatives being requested to
attend in uniform. Most Of the ambassa-
dors and ministers are out Of the city,
but the yare expected to return or send
member of their staff to represent them
at this formal tribute to ItaIy's dead
ruler. 1t is expected that Lord Paunce-
fote will not be able to come on from
Newport, but will designate Mr.. Lowther
or another member of his staff to repre-
sent the British government.
In diplomatic quarters the announce
ment of this service at a Catholic church
occasioned some little surprise, in view Of
the conditions existing between the
church and the temporal authorities at
home, and the announcement was ac-
cepted as most pleasant augury of the
growing good feeling between tue Vatican
and the Quirinal. In this connection, it
was recalled that when the assassina ton
of King Humbert was announced to the
pope he decided that a mass be said for
the dead monarch, at which the aged
pontiff himself was the ceIebrant
A distinguished Italian diplomat, when
asked today as to the significance of these
kindly expressions between the Italian
government and the church, said:
The question of the temproaI power
of the pope is purely poEreicssss4 - IN = gov
ernmental, and it in no way affects the
spiritual status of any individuals of
the government. King Humbert was
Catholic and Queen Margherita is a most
earnest member of the church. The
house from which the king descended at
one time produced one of the foremost
cardinals and later a pope. The royal
house at all times takes part IN the cele-
bradons of the church, as this is consid-
cred quite apart from the political ques-
tlons mvilved in the temporal power of
the pope. On that question the Vatican
and the Quirinal differ, but it is a differ
ence not extending to individuals"

Acting In Concert.
WARRINGTON, Aug. THE inforna-
ton which came today, that American
troops were engaged in the battle at PIet-
sang established positively, for the first
time, that, Notwithstanding the difficulties
which Gen. CfaEfee had encountered in
debarklng troops and supplies, at least
part, and a considerable part of our
force, was in the vanguard of the for
ward movement. Gen. Chaffee's dispatch
to the war department conveyed the most
satisfactory evidences that the comlnand-
ers had thol oughly agreed to advance
upon plan of action, and that Is every
indication that this plan has been fol-
lowed, as Gen. Chaffee on Friday SEM the
cable saying that the attack up1n the
Chinese at Pietsang would be male OIL
sunday, the day when Admir4i Remey
and the press correspondents say the
hghting occurred. Gen. Chaffee's an
nouncement that the present obiectiYe
or the international column Is Yang -Tsun
is interpreted to mean that this point.
wherever railroad and wagon road meet,
is to be made the advance base for thu
operations on Pekin.
The most positive addition to the news
of the day was the brief line from the
Associated Press correspondent at Tien
Tsin stating that the Ninth and Four
teenth infantry, Reillys battery and the
marines were In the battle Of PIetsang.
1t was this force which, with the Brit
tsh and japanese bore the brunt of the at
tack on the left flank, which was to
turn the enemys position. This plan had
already been made clear by Gen. Chat
fees dispatch, although he did not men
ton what American troops would be en-
gagged.
In view of the participation of the
American troops, the war and navy de-
partments are anxiously expectant of a
report OF the part taken by our troops
and Of any losses which the Americans
may nave sustained. No light has yet
Deen thrown upon the subject of whether
the commanders of the international
forces have agreed upon a commander.
Inc Chafree dispatch would seem to in
dicate that none had been agreed upon.
The movement was planned evidently by
the commanders in conference, and the
part which each command was to take
was planned in advance. 1t IS perhaps
noteworthy and significant that this pIan
Of attack upon the enemy at Pietsane
the American, British and Japanese
were Joined In the movement TO turn the
enemy's flank, while the Russians and
French operated together on the opposite
side of the river against the enemy's left.
Ihls may indicate the line of cleavage
among the allies, whose general dissen-
sions were reported at Tien Tsin. It is
also exceedingly significant that Gen.
Chaffee does not mention the German
force at all. The war department Off
cials do not believe that this could have
been due to an oversight on his part. II
1t was arranged that they were to partIc-
ipate in the movement. 1t therefore seems
likely that the Germans were not engaged
at Pietsang. 1t is thought possible that
they were acting Independently.

GERMANY's INTERESTS.
Does Not Regard Ministers' Relief
as Most ImDortant


BERLIN, Aug. THE German foreign
office, up to midnight, had not receiy-
ed. confirmation of alarming news from
Tien Tsin, or that the advance on Pc
kin had begun, but it considers the re-
ports that the Japanese and Russian
forces had a severe engagement with the
Chinese on Sunday and had driven them
back to be reliable. 1t is pointed out
that the occurrence Of such an engage
ment W, uld not mean that the invasion
has begun.
Why confirmation of these advices does
not arrive here the foreign office is un-
able to explain.
1t Is said differences have broken out
among the powers themselves as to the
advance, and the measures to be taken
in the Yang Use valley.
Germany's opinion as to the status of
great Britain in the Yang Use has been
expressed in the Cologne Gazette. The
opinion is one of disapproval of steps al
ready taken or contemplated, inasmuch
as Germany, as well as other powers, IS
as much interested as England in keep
ing the Yang Use open for commerce.
The foreign Office believes in this instance
all the other powers except England are
agreed. 1t does not believe England will
insist on carrying matters with a high
hand now she knows she IS opposed by
dll the OtH6ES. Inc lOI61SH O1i4CS IS SOI1-
fident that the United States and Japan
will side with Germany and the other
European powers against England with
regard to her apparent intentions along
the Yang Use Kiang.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that the United Safes
embassy IN Berlin has informed the Ger
man foreign office that the American gov
ernment desires under all circumstances
that the Yang Tse- Kiang be left open
for American travel, and Washington
will also oppose all schemes for the di-
vision of China, no matter from what
power they may proceed It is under
stood that this attitude is fully approx
ed by the German government, since It CO.
incides with the wishes of Germany. The
correspondent further learns that Japan
on this same question has abandoned
England, and has already sought and
found the friendship of Berlin.
Several papers print a statement that
a censorship has been established at
Tien Tsin which suppresses news be-
cause 1t is Gnfavorable. Others assert
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-08-08

lies should take no step to endanger the
lives of the ministers.
A message from the Belgian minister,
dated Pekin, Aug. l, seems effectually to
dispose of the rumors that the ministers
nave either left or are intending to leave
Pekin.
The Chinese minister in London, Sir
Chen Lo Feng Luh says he has receiv-
ed telegram from China announcing
that long imperial edict was issued on
aug. z authorizing the immediate and
safe conveyance of all foreigners in Pc
kin to Tien Tsin.
SUNDAYS BATTLE.
Several dispatches are printed giving
hearsay accounts Of Sundays battle. The
Daily Mails correspondent at Che Foo,
telegraphing Monday, says:
The lighting lasted seven hours, and
the allies, when my report left, were pur-
suing the Chinese, but owing to- the
floods passage was difficult Thus the
Chinese will have time to reform and
recover from the effects of battle. Only a
small garrison with IA guns remains at
Tien Tsin, where some anxiety is felt be-
cause of a report that 1900 Chinese are
said to be moving, two days march to
the southwest
All the correspondents agree in praising
the organization and bravery of the Jap
aneSe, put none or them brings the story
much beyond Gen. Chaffee's report
Ii Ping Heng, according to the Shang-
hal correspondent of the Standard, has
been appointed generalissimo of the Chi
nese forces, and has left Pekin to com
mand the troops outside the city
A Shanghai special says that official
advices from Toxic announce that arm
ed collisions have occurred between par
ties OF Russians and japanese outside
OF Taku. This item comes by way of
Shanghai and must await confirmation
before being credited The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, confirm
ing the massacre of missionaries at Chu
Chow FNl, says that two American women
were among the victims.
RUSSIA WILL SEND ARMY.
The Sebastopol correspondent Of the
Daily Graphic asserts that the Russian
government will send 125,000 additional
troops from Odessa to the far East be-
fore the end of the year.
Berlin dispatches say 1t Is rumored
there that an agreement has been reach
ed between Emperor Nicholas and EN-
peror William whereby the German
troops will be permitted to proceed to
China by way OF Siberia.
The royal arsenal at Woolwich has
been ordered to send thirty million pounds
of small ammunition to China.

that a settlement could be made at Tien
Tsin whereby war of the world against
China would be averted, but even the
optimistic Ii failed to hold out the slight
est hope of its feasibility, although he
reiterated to Mr.. Morgan's agent his dec

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7-Another ca
this afternoon from Minister Conger at
Pekin, which is the second received d.
rect from him since June z. It is the
first which has come direct to the minis
ter since the above date, the other hav-
ing been received through the interme-
diary of the Chinese minister here, Mr..
WI. Today's telegram shows that the
situation in the Chinese capital is stlll of
a very serious character; that the minis
ters are still III danger from the Chinese
troops, and that the supplies of ammuni-
ton and provisions have been reduced to
a very considerable extent So important
were the statements contained In the dis
patch that conference was held by wire
between several of the officials here and
the president, at Canton, lasting for sew
eral hours. At its conclusion the cable
Crane from Mr. Conger was made pub
lice.
DATE OF MESSAGE.
The cablegram came In the official
cipher of the department 1t is undated
like his previous cablegram, but from the
the beheading of two members of the
tsung Ii yamen and to the insistence of
the Chinese government for the removal
of the ministers from Pekin, state depart
ment officials say 1t may be assigned a
date not earlier than 30 and perhaps not
later than Aug. 2. 1t is checked by the
telegraph company as having been put on
the wires at Tsi Nan, large city about
eighty miles southeast of PeKin, on Aug.
Z. The dispatch reached the department
at 4:20 p. m, but was not made public
until late in the evening. Those who were
at the White house in conference with the
president included Acting Secretary Adee,
of the state department; Secretary Root
and Adjt' Gen. Corbin. Capt. Michael
the chief clerk of the state department
through whose hands the cablegrams
passed, was also present part of the time.
What the result of the conference was
the officials declined to say. That 1t
will stimulate the energies Of the gov
ernment to its utmost endeavor to press
forward the advance movement towards
Pekin is certain, for Mr. Conger's mes
sage makes it clear that for the ministers
to leave Pekin would result in their
deaths. Secretary Root did not care to
make any statement when asked about
the situation tonight
LEGATIoNERs IN BAD WAY.
The officials had been led to believe
that the more recent dispatches which
purported to emanate from Chinese
sources, as well as from imeprial edicts,
that the condition of the legationers was
much improved, but today's advice shows
very different aspect of affairs.
Secretary Root stated tonight that so
far as he was aware there would be no
change in the presidents intentions to re-
turn to Washington on the 18th inst,
making this reply to a question to to
whether the latest developments in Pelin
would necessitate his return to the CAPT
tai earlier.
The word "yamen," following the name
of the city Tsi Nan, at which the cable
gram from Minister Conger was put on
the wires, as understood here, probably
refers to the official residence or building
from which it was transmitted, or where
it was received by courier from Pekin.
