London, July 19.-While evidence ac-
cumulates daily that China has long
been preparing a formidable military
organization in anticipation of the
present conflict, and that the area of
rebellion is continually extending, har-
mony among the allies, which is neces-
sary to meet such a grave situation, is
still deplorably lacking. The Russians
have refused Admiral Seymour's re-
quest to hand over the restored Taku-
Tsintsin railway to the English COM
pany, and it is rumored that Germany
purposes taking a serious independent
step. namely, to patrol the Yangtse-
Kiang with German men-of-war. Such
a step would be greatly resented by
England. Still more alarming news has
been conveyed to the Daily Express
from Toxic, to the effect that the APP
parent reluctance of Germany and Rus
STA to consent to a japanese COM
mander for the army corps has led the
japanese government to delay the for
warding of the division already mo-
bilized.

FOR A THIRD PARTY.
Leaders in the Movement Meet I'm
New York and Issue nm
Address.

New York, July 19.-In response to
a call issued a few days age, a num-
her of golc democrats and anti-impe-
~rialists met in this city Wednesday
night to discuss the methods of bring
ing a third party ticket before the
public. An address was adopted of
which the Following is a synopsis:
It assails President Mckinley for his
Philippine policy and his ~"scandalous ap-
pointments" to federal offices; character
izing Gov. Roosevelt as the frank em-
bodiment of militarism," and declaring
that the republican party stands for all
forms of special privilege, Mr.. Bryan, the
address says, is as objectionable as Presi-
dent Mckinley.
"a vote for the democratic ticket says
the address. means a vote for free sill
yer, it means a still further %debauching Of
the civil service; a packing of the supreme
court by men to be governed by the will
of the executive
The address asks Independents to unite
in the support of candidates, upon some
such platform as follows: t5it
First, a return to the political doctrines
of the declaration of independence and the
constitution.
Second, The recognition that not only
Cuba and the Philippines. but Porto Rico
and Hawaii are independent.
Third, Genuine monetary reform.
Fourth, Civil service reform.
Fifth, The abolition of special privileges,
whether of tariff or any other origin.
w are not concerned solely with this
selection, but with the future of American
political life. We are ready and anxious
to join with others in forming a party
which shall adopt a platform presenting
these. issues"
Before adjournment was taken the
announcement was made that neither
President CT veland nor
former Speaker Thomas b. Reed is
available as a candidate. Mention
was made of Admiral Lewey, and it
seemed to be the consensus of opinion
that he would consent to accept a
nomination and would probably prove
be the most available man.
