Kong is her free port. But, if congress
had or could extend our ceastwise nav
igation laws to the Philippine 1slands'
so that lily American ships could trade
between. San Francisco and Manila, ana
Honol.:.u en- route, how long would it be
until American vessels would be carry
ing racticaIly all the goods bought from
or so!d to China by this country! But
that is the least of the argument. For
every steamship would have its agents
at either terminus of its line, husthng
for trade-for Yankee trade-for carriage
of goods both ways. And that is the
nrime consideration for substituting big
lines of steamers-for they employ only
frst-cIass men, capable of developing
trade for American makers Of goods as
well as soliciting mere freightaSe Tor
their vessels. An eloquent agent for
any large steamship line would be worth
his weight in gold, for he would repre-
sent American capital, American ra'l-
ways, American steel and cotton mills
and American wheat fields.
As the Marine Review says, many Of
the smaller vessels on the Great Lakes
arc airea!y fin Ing their way into the
Porto Rican and Cuban trade, now be-
come "coastwlse,," and this is q fair in
dfcation of what would fall to the for
tune of the lake shipyards if the Phil
ippine carrying trade came under the
same rules of law.
Speed the day when all American pos
sessions shall be alike controlled by our

NEW YORK, July 5.-A dispatch from
London says:
The situation in China remains a hor-
rOr of great darkness. There is no trust
worthy information from Picking since
the end of June, and there may never
be. Shanghai reports state that there are
no foreigners alive in the capital If this
be true the story of the massacre and
barbarous butchery will never be told in
detail. There Is q budget Of rumors and
surmiSes, which is poor substitute for
authentic news. All the legations eX-
cept three are said to have been destroyed
by June Is and the condition of th3
British embassy, where refugees of all
nationalities were hudd!ed together under
fire, is described as desperate and utter
ly deplorable. Most Of the details men
toned in the Chinese dispatches are arti-
fetal and are evidently based upon con-
lecture. One detail IS suspiciOusly mis-
leading. 1t Is the statement that tnfurt-
ated German troops set fire to the Tsung-
Ld-Yamen after the murder Of Their
minister, and that many Chinese members
persisted in the flames This is evidently
a clumsy Chinese invention, designed to
cover and condone unspeakable horrors OK
massacred foreign embassies.
Zone of the worst features Of the catas-
trophe, which every one in Official and
diplomatic circles here is now compelled
to believe has taken place, IS the us
pense which must follow these -Oniinous
rumors. Days and possibly weeks may
e,apse before a connected story OF this
crime against humanity and civilization
can be told. Relief from Tien Tsin is
clearly beyond the range of possibilities.
The allies are reported to have decided
that they cannot march toward the CAPT.
tai until they are heavily reinforced.
They may not be able to hold their ground
where they are, for the Chinese army has
been heavily reinforced. the lombard
ment of the foreign quarters has been
renewed and the allies are constantly
under fire.
Toward midnight a dispatch was given.
out from the British consul at Hankow
stating that the legations were still hold
ing out July l, but that the struggle was
hopeless The admiralty confirmed these
reports, but added that the ammunition
of the legation numbering, originally,
about $50, has been exhausted. An
earlier dispatch from Admiral Seymour,
dated the oath Of June, had stated that
all the legations, except the British,
French. German and part of the Russian,
had been destroyed. but Liu is reported to
be freely executing disturbers Of the peace
at Nanfin.
The German chamber of commerce OF
Shanghai has warned Emperor William
not to underestimate the gravity of the
situation. but TO send troops proportion
ate with the forces Of other powers.

PLEAD FOR HARMONY.

I plead tonight for party harmony and
for party success. / plead because of the
dangers which confront us. AS sure as
election day comes, and If we should hap
pen to be defeated, which I do not believe,
what will follow? 1t means the restora-
ton of a federal election law, 1t means
a reduction of the apportionment of mem
bers of congress throughout the Southern
states of our Union. 1t means a conse-
quent reduction in the electoral college
from our Southern states, and the plea of
necessity will be made because it will be
apparent by election day that some of the
newborn states of the West, which they
had relied upon, had gone over to the
Democratic party. (Applause) So I am
sorry to say that this is a most important
election; important for our party; i'm
portant for our country; important for
the best interests of all our people.

we need is an old-fashioned, rousing DEM
locratic victory throughout this land.
That will mean a restoration Of the cur
rency of our fathers. Great applause.)
That will mean home rule for states.

Colorado LIZ q Gold State.

Coloradoans have noted thai nature
in regulating the output of the two
metals, works independently of poll
ticians or financial manipulators. From
a silver state, in the early nineties,
Colorado was soon transformed into a
gold-mining state. When silver was
at a low ebb, the gold camp of Cripple
Greek began to loom up. In 1891 the
gold product Of this great district was
only 5000, 900; in 1893 it had risen to
81. 400, 900. In 1896, when the silver
miners. were. crying loudly for govern
ment aid Inc Organism was rampant,
it yielded So, 900, 600. Last year it pro-
dused $40, 223, 514, and this years output
wig come close to $50, 600, 900. When it
is remembered that the total silver
product of the whole State of Colorado,
last year was only $13, III, 731, the great
change in mining conditions as we'll as
their natural import at once, become
