EMpERoR SENDS a MEssAaR:

Wishes the Powers to Assume a
PrOtectorate and Govern Through
His Majesty.
LONDON, June 12.-The Shanghai
correspondent Of the Daily Express,
telegraphing yesterday says:
"weng Tung Ho. emperor Kwang
Hsu's tutor and confidant, who was
dismissed by the dowager empress af-
ter the coup d'etat in 1898, sends with
the special sanction of the emperor and
his party, including three viceroys. n
message to the people Of the west In
part Il is as follows:
His majesty is convinced, through
amply trustworthy sources, that the
loyal support Of many scores of mill
ions Of the Chinese win be accorded to
his proposals for putting an end to the
state OF anarchy brought about by the
action of the empress HsI Tsi.
Wishes to be Removed From Palace.
1.-THE government Of China being
virtually non-existent. the emperor
proposes that the foreign powers whose
troops dominate the, pitalshallremove
his imperial person from the palace In
which his majesty is confined a pris-
oner, shall declare Empress Hsi ISL
and her present ministers to be usurp-
ers and shall bring Emperor Kwang
Hsu to Nan King. WI Chang or
Shanghai. whlchevev the said foreign
powers deem to be the most suitable
situation for the now capital of the
new Chinese emperor under the new
conditions.
at is proposed by his majesty and
his advisers that the foreign powers
should declare joint protectorate and
undertake the task Of governing the
country through his majesty
Ripe for a Change Of Tide:
"weng Tung Ho, who predicts
peaceful acceptance of such a regime,
goes on TO say:
Chinese is ripe for change Of tide
which the reactlonaries vainly seek to
stem. II It should so be, on the other
hand. that the foreign powers seriously
contemplate the Acknowledgement OF
the Chinese empire. they have before
them the huge task Of facing dense
millions. who. although lacking train
ing and who make but contemplate SOL
diers. possess boundless powers of pas
sIve resistance and would be able to
wear out the patience Of any European
rulers seeking to govern them without
regard to their prejudices.
Could be Conquered Easily.
THE conquest and division of China
would be possible with 100000 troops to
retain the government would require
100000 soldiers and centuries OF work.
The task would end with the most un-
happy results for both conquered and
conquerors.
His majesty and his advisers beg
America and Japan to pause before re-
sorting to dismemberment, which can
be deferred at least until the emperor's
efforts to govern his people and to re-
store the happiness Of this great divis-
lon Of the human race have proved
abortiye. II the people are assured that
the powers are guiding and protecting
he majesty and do not intend to swal-
low the country pieoemeal. they and
the soldiers will return unquestlonahly
to the allegiance from which the en-
press diverted them"

which has been on for the past six
months between Senator William Finn

ut n Joint meeting OF councils when Mr..

Il vote OF 6s to 81. George w. Wilson,
the present director of the department
Of charities, was chosen as his success
sor. The resolution presented to cOun-
ellis calling for the oustlng OF Director

finance committee, which held that the
director was responsible for the daral-
cation Of Samuel T. Paisley, superintcn-
dent OF highways. in that he was negll-
gent in his supervision Of Palsley's nc-
counts. The committee reported that
Paisley had defrauded the city out Of

not the authority to oUst him without
trinl and the directors friends say he
will continue in office until legally re-
lieved. a big legal battle may follow.

home, saying he would not return until
tho law or people required him to. 1t is
probable injunction proceedings will be

COLUMBUS, o., June 1.-THE DEM
ocratic state convention, which begins
here tomorrow, follows the reception
to Admiral Dewey, of last week. 1t was
at one time proposed to have Admiral
Dewey here during the convention. or
rather to hold the convention last week,
while he was here, but some of the
subscribers to the Dewey e!ebration
fund objected and the plan ''ns aban-
doned. The Dewey decorations. ex-
terror and interior, however, still re-
main all over the city.
Large Portraits of Dewey Displayed.
The hotels have large portraits Of
Dewey displayed and none of the
Democratic heroes except Bryan. Tho
Democratic hustlers point to the por-
traits OF the hero OF Manila as the
man for the second place on the nation
al ticket and there is much talk about
Bryan and Dewey being nominated at
Kansas City on the same ticket. Dur
ing this agitation for Bryan and Dewey
as the coming men for the national
ticket, there is one man wanted here
above all others at this time, and that
man is John r. Mclean, the last DEM
oeratic candidate for governor, and
the acknowledged leader Of the Ohio
Democracy.
John Refuses to Attend.
But ali tefegraphic calls for Mclean
fail to get favorable response. He
has announced that he must sail for
Europe with his family next Saturday
morning, from New York. and that he
cannot attend the convention in Colum-
bus this week and get ready for his
foreign engagements, He says, further
more, that he cannot return in time to
attend the national convention in Kan
sas City, thrae weeks hence. He would
be placed at the head Of the Ohio dele
CATION to Kansas City, II he would give
single word of consent, but he de-
clInes absolutely.
viii Assist the Hero Of Manila Bay.
AS he is a brother-ln-law of Admiral
Dewey, his friends say that he does not
want to appear In the role of family
preferences, but they insist that II
Admiral Dewey is put on the ticket
with Bryan without his personal efforts
that he will return from Europe at
once and devote himself exclusively to
the campaign in the interest of Bryan
and Dewey,
Making Many Boasts.
There is a movement to have the ma
tional Democratic headquarters loca-
ted in Columbus, with a view to "gIv-
ing Chairman Hanna all he wants to
look after at home" but whether or
not this succeeds. It is claimed that
Bryan, as well as Dewey, will be ta-
ken all over Ohio In special trains and
the delegates claim they could carry
their Ohio state ticket with Bryan and
Dewey and elect majority of the con-
gressmen.
All who are agltatIng Bryan and
Dewey as the ticket think there is no
doubt about the admiral accepting.
There is q diversity of opinion as to
whether this convention should take
the initial step in endorsing Dewey"as
well as Bryan for the national ticket.

BACK FROM CALIFORNIA.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. D. Hubbard Have q
Pleasant Trip.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. D. Hubbard return
ed Sunday from a six weeks trip to
the Pacific coast. Mr.. Hubbard first
went to the coast in 1854 and remained
two years, and he was particularly
struck on his recent trip with the
great changes that have occurred in
California since then Everywhere
there has been remarkable develop
ment Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard visited
Los Angeles first, and found it a most
beautiful city, surprising any place
they ever saw as a desirable place to
reside They made visit to Pasadena,
Riverside, Redlands and San Diego,
and also to Catalina Island. Gen. and
Mrs. j. FL. Baker were encountered at
the latter place. Five days were spent
at San Diego, where J. P. Christensen
showed them around They visited
the battleship Iowa there. At Los
Angeles they saw Mrs Geo. 1. Liger.

Halfhill. The latter's wife has lost the
sight of one eye.
At San Jose. Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard
saw Mrs, Payne and her son, James,
and DIR and Mrs. D. f. McGraw and
their four children, all looking we'll.
Monterey they thought the prettiest
spot on the entire coast They spent
some time in San Francisco and vici-
nifty and two days at Sacramento.
Their return was by the Southern Pa
cifc, Denver and Rio grande and Union
Pacific. Their stay at Salt Lake City
was brief one, as they were not favor
ably impressed with the place. They
greatly admired Denver.
Mr., Hubbard gives glowing descrip-
ton of some of the points of interest
seen in California, particularly Mon
terey, Los Angeles and the Hotel
Coronado at San Diego. While he
finds the state most attractive one to
visit, The prefers Minnesota as per-
manent residence California has had
three dry winters, and the fruit trees
are suffering in consequence. There
are still relics to be seen of the boom
times. A tree was pointed out where
lots to the value of S65, 900 were sold in
one day; and scarcely any vestiges of
farm buildings are to be seen. At an
other townsite much larger sale &C.

erected.
At Salt Lake City the Mormon temple
is closed to strangers, but the taber-
nacle was visited, which seats 5000
people, and where the fall of pin can
be heard 200 feet away.
