WILL NOMINATE MCKINLEY.

Washington, May 1S.-Republican
managers have taken alarm at the sug-
gestion recently made that the United
States Senate promises to be too much
in evidence at the Philadelphia conven-
ton. Probably some other man than
Senator Spooner will be selected to
make the speech nominating Mckinley.
According to the program heretofore
arranged five Senators are booked for
conspicuous places in the convention
Senator Wolcott as temporary presid-
ing officer, Senator Lodge as perma-
nent chairman, Senator Spooner to
make the nominating speech, Senator
Hanna as chairman Of the National
Committee and Senator Foraker as
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tons.
These Senators, together with many
others who have beeen appointed dele
gates at large from their respective
States, would give the Senate much
larger representation in the convention
than Is deemed judicious by many Re-
publicans, who fear repetition of the
old charge that the rich men of the
Senate are dominating the party.

summary Of the Long
Mafeking Seize

The siege of Mafeking lasted seven
months and four days. The British
garrison, under the command of Col.
X. S. s. Baden-Powell. consisted of
twenty-three officers of the British
army, three on special service or at
their own instance, 600 mounted men,
mostly colonial police; 500 infantry,
and battery of field artillery; $50 men
wit. six guns and Maxim detach-
ment, besides battalion of white male
residents, who were organized for de-
Tense, and some companies of natives.
Colonel Baden-Powell, with Lord Ed
ward Cecil, Major Vyvyan and others
had been on the ground some weeks
preparing for offensive or defensive
operations, as the case might be.
The war began on October II, and
the next day the Beers derailed and
captured the armored train at Kraai
Pan, between Mafeking and .Vryburg,
thereby cutting off rail communication
with Kimberley and the south. On Oc-
tober Is they seized the water works
at Roof Groonel and by the next day
had practically surrounded and invest
| ed the town, and on the 21st began q
| bombardment
On October % and % and again on
| November the garrison made sorties
| against the works, while the enemy
were gradually pushing in closer to
ward the town, with some success and
considerable loss to both sides.
On November 6 the Beers made an
assault, which was successfully re-
pulsed.
December 4, seeing no prospect for
near relief, Colonel Powell put the gar
rison and citizens on short rations.
December 26 the garrison made a
night attack on the 'sandbag" fort to
the north of the town, inflicting some
loss on the enemy, but suffering much
| themselves in both officers and men. .
Regular bombardment was kept up
throughout almost every day except
ing Sunday, when by mutual consent
both sides rested.
March 81 Colonel Plumer's column of
1850 men from Rhodesia, on the north,
| advancing to the relief of the town,
was finally repulsed at Ramatulabama,
eighteen miles from Mafeking, and fell
back to Mahtudi. This hope destroyed.
Colonel Baden-Powell cut the rations,
now consisting largely of mule and
horse meat. and bran, still further,
and waited for the relief column from
the south which Lord Roberts promis-
ed should reac.. him between the 18th
and 22d of May.
Just when the relief colnmn left the
Vaal river or who Is in command of It
has not appeared from the dispatches,
though 1t is surmised that 1t is part
of Major General Hunters force, prob
ably under Colonel Paget, which
crossed the Vaal river at Windsorton
on the Sth inst, and reached Vryburg
about 100 miles from Mafeking, on the
18th.
As the relief column, of whose ad-
vance they were kept advised by their
scouts, drew near the Beers re-
doubled their efforts to reduce the town
and the heaviest fighting garrison has
had to do has been during these last
few days.

QUIET DAY AT CANTON.
President Mckinley Attended to Busi-
ness and Went Driving.

CANTON, O.. July 2s.-To-day has been
the most quiet and the most uneventful at
the Mckinley home since the household
was removed from Washington. Only the
going and coming of the telegraph boys
and the private messenger between the
house and the postoffice with his big
leather wallets gave evidence that a vast
amount of business was being transacted
within the cottage. The President passed
the time Ieisurely, going for a drive with
Mrs. Mckinley after breakfast and for an
other after dinner. Between those two in
cidents he came to the front porch num-
ber of times to shake hands or to listen to
the story Of some one seeking his help. But
in the whole number who filed up the walk
during the day there was neither states
men nor a politician whose movements
command attention. The advices from
China were promptly forwarded here and
quickly put into the hands of the Pres
ident, but to outward appearances, at least.
they caused no commotion or demanded no
unusual action here.

SATURDAYS DEVELOPMENTS.
Review of the Situation as 1t An
peared to officials Last Night.

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-The day
brought forth the usual crop of edicts and
reports from various quarters and visit
of Minister WI to the State Department
all bearing directly on the welfare of the
foreign ministers in Peking. This con-
stantly growing mass of assertions is be-
ginning to have a cumulative effect on the
skeptics. and there was a noticeably more
hopeful view taken of the state of affairs
to-day. Beyond the fact that it is scarce
ly conceivable that the Chinese authorities
should persist in repeating and strengthen
ing these stories up to the rapidly approch-
ing moment when the whole truth must
be disclosed by other agencies it appeared,
on careful consideration of the reports,
that there really was little ground for hope
as 10 the safety of Mr.. Conger and his coll
leagues at Peking to-day than there was
yesterday. The depressing fact is always
in mind that the Chinese authorities, who,
by ther own statements, are able TO COM
municate with the legations, for some mys-
terious reason do not permit these unfortu-
mates to communicate with their own gov
ernments. Minister Wus explanation of
this. that the Chinese methods are different
from our own, is scarcely sufficient for the
officials here. The minister however. is
honestly trying to get further commune
cation through from Mr. Conger and IL
may be that success I'm this undertaking
will afford him a brilliant vindication. At
least he maintains a wonderful show of
confidence in the safety OF the legations,
and manages to impress this. in some de-
gree, on the officials and others with whom
he comes in contact.
There was nothing of interest from China
respecting the military or naval forces
there. The War Department officials now
calculate that General Chaffee, with his
troops on the Grant. will arrive at Taku
this evening. though IL may be several
days before his report Of the fact can reach
the department The irregular and unsat-
isfactory character OF the present system
OF communication between Taku and the
cable end at Shanghai has been taken into
account by the War Department, and il is
said that one OF Chaffee's first acts. on
taking command Of the United States
forces ashore at Taku and Tien-Tfsn, will
be TO establish, perhaps, in cooperation
with the other military commanders. a line
OF rapid dispatch boats running from Tien-
Tsin TO Shanghai or Nagasaki.
While the positive statement is made that
IL is not the present intention to send any
moro troops from Manila 10 China, at the
