WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. NOVEMBER 26TH, 1900
This government has once more taken
the diplomatic lead in Chinese affairs
Tiring Of the seemingly endless dead
lock of the foreign ministers at Pekln,
and believing that their personal ex-
periences had aroused their prejudices
to such an extent that it would be well
nigh impossible for them to agree upon
the demands to be made upon the gov
ernment OF China, for the punishment
of the meters of the Boxer troubles aud
the amount OF the money indemnity
which should be paid the powers, this
government has boldly taken a stand
in favor of ending the deadlock by stop
ping tle present negotiations and max
ing fresh start by the appointment o1
representatives of each of the powers
concerned, to an international commits
sion or Congress, to meet at The Hague
or some other place outside Of China
and formulate the demands which the
powers shall make upon China. The
idea has been endorsed by several Of
the powers and it is expected to get the
approval of them all. 1t seems to Offer
commonsense way out of the mix-ur
in Pekin. which has steadily been grow.
ing worse instead of better.

"Pretoria.-Just before dark Mon
day the enemy were beaten back from
nearly all the positions they had been
holding. and Ian Hamilton's mounted
infantry followed them to within two
thousand. yards of Pretoria, through
which they retreated hastily.
''De Lisle then sent an officer with a
flag Of truce into the town, demand,

ly before midnight I was awakened
by two officials of the South African
Republic, Sandhar, military secretary
to Commandant General Botha. and a
general officer of the Boer army, who
brought me a letter from Botha. pro-
posing an armistice for the purpose
of settling the terms of surrender.
81 replied that 1 would gladly meet
the commandant general the next
morning, but that I was not prepared
to discusss any terms, as the surren'

I asked for a reply by daybreak, as
had ordered the troops to march on
the town as soon as it was light.
"In his reply, Botha told me that ne
had decided not to defend Pretoria, and
that he trusted the women, children
and property would be protected. Al
seven a. m. Tuesday, while on the
march, was met by three Of the prin

The wayrarer paused, and there came to
his mind
The old-fashioned place Of his birth; =,
Illumed by face that was gentle anu
kind,
The gentlest and klndest on earth;
The big, rambling garden, the nook where
boy
Dreamed on OF future immense;
Where the sunbeams would linger in laz-
And the liiacs hung over the fence.
Again to the journey. Again to the strife,
And yet, mid the toll OF the day.

Full oft through the air seemed to stray.

State Convention Instructs Dole
gates to Kansas City For Bryan.
Resolutions Pledge Support OF Any Plat.
form That May BE Adopted by
the National Convention.

New York City (SpeciaD.-The Dem
ocratic State Convention met at the
Academy Of Music here, and selected
delegates to the National Convention
at Kansas City, elected Presidential
electors and a new State Committee.
The delegates-at-large chosen were
David B. Hill, Edward Murphy, Jr..
Richard Croker and Augustus Van
Wyck. The delegates were instructed
to vote as q unit for William Jen-
nings Bryan at Kansas City. The
Chicago platform was not indorsed.
but the convention pledged the sup
port Of the party in New York for any
platform adopted by the National
Convention.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Campbell, Of the State
Committee. who presented the name
of John T. Norton, Of Rensselaer,
County, as temporary chairman. ..Af-
fer his speech the roll was called and
the usual committees were an
nounced. Elliot Danforth was made
permanent chairman, and at tie con-
clusion Of his address the report OF
the Committee on Resolutions was
heard. The resolutions reported by
the committee were adopted unant1
mously. M
The platform adopted pledges the
Democracy of this State not only for
Bryan, but also to the national plat
form, yet to be adopted. The n:0rle;
tary plank in full is this: ~. -
"We favor both gold and silver. ;is
the standard money Of the country, the
money of the Constitution and of OuE
fathers, each to be maintained, ataa
parity with the other in purchasing
and In debt paying power-which has
been the steadfast policy Of the DsnI
ocratic party since the. days ofsJefer,
son, who declared that The mOneraEy
unit must stand on both metals. We
pledge our best efforts to continue the
work of monetary reform" ~
The only reference to the Boer war
is this: "We are opposed to any all
liances, express or implied, with any
foreign. Government, whereby the In
fluence Of this country cannot at all
times be freely exerted in behalf of
the maintenance and extension Of Re-
I publican institutions, and in favor Of
any brave people struggling to be free
from plutocratic or monarchical rule "
The platform also declares for the
election of United States Senators di.
rectly by the people, and contains also
a long plank on trusts, concerning
which this declaration Is made:
1.-THE Democratic party pledges itself
that If intrusted with power, in either
the State or the Nation. it will devote
it's best energies to the relief of the
people from these oppressive monopo-
lies"
