WALLER BOLTS BRYAN TICKET.
Former Democratic Governor of COnneCtl-
cut Denounces Recent Convention.

New Haven, Conn, July 9.-Former
Governor Thomas NJ. Waller, of Connecti-
cut, one of the most powerful Democratic
leaders of this State, will not support the
BRYAN ticket. In a statement made today
Governor Waller says
81 was Democrat and bolter in 1896,
and as tie situation has not changed, | am
a Democrat and bolter STILL rejoice
that the Bryan convention distinctly and
definitely reiterated the 16 to l, Socialist
Populist plank of the Chicago platform in
stead of concealing its intent and character
by hosting, as pirates some time do, an
attractive and alluring flag
"The Imperialism, miitarism and the
other ingredients of the Kansas City plat
form may be we'll enough in themselves,
but they are only used to lessen the foul
taste of the 16 to dose of poison the COM
position contains.
"The attempt of the Kansas City plat
form to mislead thoughtful people by de-
claring that other issues will be made in
the campaign more prominent than the l6
to heresy is too apparent and too silly to
accomplish much HARM"

FEELING IN BERLIN.
Nervous Interest In Every Bit of News
From China.

Berlin. July S.-The news from China
overshadows everything here. The usual
ly quiet, self.contained German nation,
both high and low, has becoms deeply
nervous. Every bit of news from China is
instantly commented upon heatedly every
where. Opinions withal, differ radically
among the masses, but the majority be
lieves with the government that the Chi
nese situation is most serious. This re-
suits, too, from Emperor William and
number of cabinet ministers having post
poned their summer vacation, because it
is expected that before long the weightiest
decisions must be taken.
Emperor William will on Monday ac-
company the German ironclad division,
bound for China, into the North Sea. 1t
is known in the Emperor's encourage that
his Majesty, in his usual impulsive way,
not only gave utterance to many undlplo'
matte thoughts and opinions on receipt OF
news of the assassination of Baron Won
Ketteler, the late German misister at Pc
kin, but could with difficulty be restrained
from following the dictates of his heart
and forthwith ordering a regular army
corps to be mobilized and sent to China.
The more sober views of the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, Count Won Buelow, pre-
vailed only after several lengthy confer
ences.
Among those who were ear-witnesses of
the Emperor's remarks to the marines at
Wilhem's Haven previous to their depart
ure for China, it is known that his address
was much more strongly worded than
officially reported, and the newspapers OF
Wilhem's Haven and that vicinity pub
lished the original version, in which was
the following:
81 hope to re.establish peace with the
sword and take vengeance in a manner
never before seen by the world. | send
YOU to eradicate the dishonor done to the
Fatherland by barbarians. shall not
rest until the German colors fly from the
Pekin wall"
A number Of interesting press utterance'
appear today. The semi.t ffcial Post has
: an article in which the reas s)ns why Ger
many cannot counsel Russia TO accept
japanese intervention are set forth in de
tail. The writer says
1.-The first principle of German policy il
D to do nothing that could be interpreted al
] an act of partisanship against Russia. Al
attempts by England to induce German!
!, to abandon her neutral position TOWARD
Y the diplomatic negotiations now in prog
t ress will fail. That England is desirous o

D and her rivalry with Russia. For Ger
many, matters are different. The aban
donment of our traditional friendship wit
Russia would he too inadequately reward

Chinese Rebels Slaughtered.

London, July 10. A dispatch sent by
Lii Hung Chang to the Chinese minister
at Berlin says three thousand Chinese
rebels have been killed in the streets OF
Pekin. 1t is supposed the slaughter oc-
Cured in fights between the troops OF
Prince Ching and the rebel troops and
Boxers under Prince Tuan.
At the japanese legation it is stated
that the advance on Pekin by japanese
army of twenty thousand men will begin
this week. Officials assert that the Japa-
nese have no intention of halting at Taku
OF Tieu Tsin, but propose to advance on
Pekin during the present week. The
military authorities express the opinion
that twenty thousand japanese troops in
addition to ten thousand international
troops already available will suffice to
force an entrance into the Chinese capi-
tai. A japanese general will be COM
mander-in-chief.

Three companies of japanese infantry, a
mountain battery and body of Russians
engaged the Chinese artillerists, but with
little effect. The twelve-pounder of the
British first.class cruiser Terrible then
came into action, but the enemy placed
two shells fairly under the gun, damaging
the carriage and wounding the crew. The
gun was withdrawn and replaced by a
French gun, which had similar expert
ence, shell bursting in the midst OF lts
crew.
The Japanese casualties during the day g
fighting were an officer and two men killed
and twenty men wounded. The casualties
of the other forces engaged are not known.
The Chinese in the vicinity of Tien Tsin
have been reinforced during the last 4S
hours by several thousands of General

CLEVELAND is DISGUSTED.
Silver Plank in Platform Surprise and
Disappointment.

Buzzard's Bay, Mass, July 81 had
most ardently hoped and desired, " said
ex. President Grover Cleveland last night,
THAT the platform to be constructed at
Kansas City would be consistent with the
professions of those in charge Of Democrat
ic management, to the effect that harmon
izing dscordant sentiment in the party
was an object of supreme Importance.
"In these circumstances, the incorpora-
ton of specific demand for free silver at
the ratio of l6 to is, of course, great
surprise and disappointment.
son the basis of such declaration the
method by which the party is to be har-
monized, and Democracy is to gain the
confidence and support Of our thinking
and reflective citizens, is beyond my COM
prehension."
Mr.. Cleveland refused to discuss the
ticket. "What would be the use ?" he
said. "Whatever might cay would only
be twisted for political purposes.

TO KILL THE
NATIONS CHIEF
DaStardly Plot Discovered In Time To
Avert the Awful Calamity.
DETECTIVES GUARD PRESIDENT.
A Letter Was Sent to a Member Of the Re-
publican National Committee by One Of
The COnspiratOrS Who Weakened
Before the Plot Could be Car
ried Into Execution.

New York, July 1.-THE World says
A plot to assassinate President Mckinley
has been frustrated. 1t was concocted by
a group of Spanish and Cuban conspira-
tors with headquarters in New York.
One of the plotters weakened and sent
a warning letter to a member of the Re-
publican National Committee. That let
ter was placed in the hands of Secretary
Charles f. Dick, who referred it to Chair
man Odell, of New York State, for inves'
tlgation. Chairman Odell engaged de-
tective, who speedily verified the allega-
tions made in the warning letter. There
upon Mr.. Odell reported to Secretary
Dick, who laid all the facts before Chair
man Mark Hanna.
Messrs. Dick and Hanna laid the whole
matter before the President shortly before
the departure for Canton. They instruct
ed Mr.. Odell to continue bis investigation
and to work with the utmost secrecy.
To World reporter last evening MIR.
Odell admitted that he and certain of the
members of the National Committee had
discovered plot to assassinate the Presi-
dent.
"Yes, it is true, but regret exceedingly
that the matter has become public"
He was extremely anxious that no ref
ence whatever should be made to the
matter.

President in Canton.

McKinley's plurality over BRYAN in the
State of New York in 1896 was 268, 900,
yet Mr.. Bryan is foolish enough to think
be has chance of carrying that State this
year. We would not be surprised if the
Mckinley plurality in New York this
year will be over three hundred thous.
and
The National Democratic platform says
nothing about the income tax. This was
made very important question by the
Democratic platform of 1896. Are they
going to quit using their clap trap argu'
ments on the income tax, and cease their
efforts to array the poor against the
rich?
A few of the gold Democratic papers
that refused to support Mr.. Bryan in 1896
have wilted; but number Of the silver
Democratic papers that were his enthusiast
ic supporters have wilted tremendously in
their enthusiasm. Among those who
voted for the "boy orator" in 1896 the
willing has also been very great.
Speaking of the Democratic ticket and
platform made at Kansas City, the Lynch
burg News says: "It is a case in which
the candidate, and not the party, made
the declaration of policy" So Organism
has become bossism. No wonder the
News and many other Democratic papers
are getting sick of Organism. But II
they swallow the dose, how can they have
the courage to talk about bosses ruling
the Republican party?
A press telegram from Lincoln, Neb.,
saws that when the Montana delegation
called to see Mr.. Bryan he said 81 don't
believe the Republican party will carry
State. shall not concede them State
this year, not even Vermont. 1t is only
question which State in the Union will
give the largest Democratic majority" II
Mr.. Bryan ia correctly reported, If he made
such a declaration, the Democrats have
for their candidate either lunatic or the
champion liar of the Union.
In bis remarks to the Montana delega.
tion. on the 7th inst, Mr.. Bryan said:
s'The Republican party is the party of
wealth, so why should not Democracy
VIM" Did Bryan cay this2 Ifso, he is
beginning his campaign as cheap dema'
gogue, and is making a base appeal to
the prejudice of the poorer class Of citi'
zens. We have never believed Mr..
Bryan good man at heart. No good
man would try to ride into power by ar
raying one class of citizens against anoth.
er class.
The attention of the civilized world is
now earnestly excited by the conditions
in China. 1t may be that the unpleasant
situation can be relieved in few months
and it may require years to overcome it.
China is not what it was few years ago.
II now has a number Of soldiers who have
been trained by European officers and
equipped with modern firearms. The
Cinnamon learn things more rapidly than
any other people. If the entire popula-
ton becomes thoroughly imbued with the
anti ti.foreign sentiment the struggle now
going on may last for years and prove
very disastrous.

GRIM CHAPTER OF BOER WAR.
Last Months Casualties Numbered Over
5000 Men.

London, July S.-Englishmen are not 4
little concerned to learn that the last
months casualties, from June 5 to July
5, amounted to over 5000 men, including
1900 deaths, as it faces them to realize
that the latter chapters Of the war, though
paratively unheralded have been ter
rbly grim.
"When is it going to end2" is the ques
ton heard On all sides. The measure of
the organized Boer resistance is evidently
no criterion of what the cost will be to
Great Britain in precious lives.
Unless Lord Roberts is planning come
move of which the news is carefully kept
in England, 1t seems likely that there are
still many weary weeks of guerrilla fight
ing ahead of the British forces.
