LONDON, June u, $40 p. m.-The
admiralty has received the following
dispatch from Real Admiral Bruce:
"TAKU, via Che Flu. Jnue 21-No
communication from the commander
in-chief in sever days or from Tien
Tsin in five days. The allies hold the
Taku forts and Tong Ku securely and
they will advance to the relief of Tien
Tsin when in sufficient strength. Troops
are expected from Hong Kong to-mor-
row and 300 from Wei-Hai-Wei the
following day. 1t is believed fighting
is constantly proceeding around Tien
Tsin. Our garrison there should be
about three thousand men.
THE following proclamation was
agreed TO this morning to be issued
forthwith:
The admirals and senior naval off
GERS of the allied powers in China de-
sire TO make known to all viceroys
and provinces of China that they in
tend to use armed force only against
the boxers and people that oppose
them on their march TO Pekin for the
rescue of their fellow countrymen. y
The date of the above dispatch was
sent from Taku is not given, but il
is probably June 10.

Ohio, the Presidents home, made ii:

OF the national anthem. The whole
audience rose to its feet and stood still,
until it was concluded.
The Canton band is one of the mos
popular organizations of its kind in
the United States. 1t is here on the

Seventy-fve Per Cent. of the strnng-
ers Were Away From P~biladel-
phia Before Midnight.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 21.-As
soon as the Republican national con-
vention adjourned this afternoon the
rush of visitors to get out of the town
began. Within an hour after Chair
man Lodge had adjourned the session
every railroad station in the city was
crowded with passengers and the con-
gested condition of the railway waiting
rooms continued until late tonight. II
was figured by hotel men and railroad
officials that almost 75 per cent OF the
convention visitors had departed by IL
o'clock tonight. Most of the strangers
still here come from the far west and
viii visit other eastern cities before re-
turning home.
" the exception OF National Chair
man Hanna, all the prominent leaders
Of the party have departed. Senator
Hanna will remain at Haverford, a
suburb. until Saturday, as the guest OF
Clement A. Griscom, whose hospitality
the Ohio Senator has several times ac-
cepted during his stay in this city.
Vice Presidential Nominee Roosevelt
departed at 6 o'clock, accompanied by
his wife. ALI the visiting political
clubs have also left the city with the
exception Of the Cook county marching
club OF Chicago, which will remain
here until Saturday.

Seymour, but no credence whatever is
attached to the report here.
Special dispatches from Shanghai
continue to recount wholesale slaughter
at Pekin. The soldiers and boxers are
SAID to be m~assacreing each other and
the Chinese and Manchus are also re-
ported to be engaged in mutual siaugh-
ter. Prince Tuan is alleged to have
sacked and burned the palace. The
Emperor is reported to have been kill
ed, the Dowager Empress is represent
ed as missing, and in some quarters it
is believed she has committed suicide.
All this purports to have been con-
tanned in a letter from Pekin receivea
by a high official Chinaman at Shang-
hal, where it is hoped the desperate
struggle between the leaders OF the
mobs allegedly for possession of the
vast treasures of the Dowager Empress
will continue and prevent the seets
combining against the Europeans.

LOOKED UPON AS HOPEFUL.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Admiral
Remey, from Manila, supplemented his
previous brief dispatch relative to the
sailing of the Zairo by n later in the
day, announcing the departure of the
Iris from Manila for Taku.
The developments of to-day greatly
encouraged the hope that the worst is
past in China and that the difficulty
can be settled without any very serious
change Of the political status of the
country. So far as can be gathered
there is not a dissenting voice among
the powers in answer II the PROPOSE
ton Of the United States to limit OPP
erations Of the armies and navies TO
protecting life and property.

yesterday from Cavite for Hong Kong.
The Zafiro has aboard $50 sailors in

spatched on the Zafiro directly north. to
Taku in the discretion of Admiral
