rs VERY WARLIKE.
Situation in China Near the Point
of Armed Conflict.
Members Of Foreign Legations In Pekir
Virtually Prisoners and Anti-Foreign
Mobs Arc In the Streets-Msy
Send Troops from Manila.

London, June 16.-This is the sit
uation in China as it appears to the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Exnress cabling last evening: "It
is really a state of yelled war. The
members of the foreign legations
in Pel,in are virtually prisoners and
the Chinese troops are only restrained
from attacking them by fear of the
legation guards. Meanwhile the
ministers are altogether unable to
communicate with the commanders OF
the relieving column, which is maxi
ing an enforced and isolated halt be-
tween Tien Tsin and Pekin. The walls
of the capital are guarded by 100000
imperial guards. The gates are heav-
lily defended with modern guns. Gen.
Tung, acting under orders from the
empress dowageI says that no more
foreign troops. have or shall enter
the sacred city.
From Tien Tsin it is reported that
the foreign forces in the harbor will
attack the Taku forts and, if neees-
sary, lombard them.
The international column appears
slowly repairing the railway, which,
according to a dispatch from Tien
Tsin to the Daily Mail, dated June IA,
cannot be effected for weeks.
Troops May Go from Manila.
Washington. June 16.-It seems
probable that, after all. the United
States troops in the Philippines will
be called upon to furnish a contin-
gent to assist in the rescue of the for
oeign missionaries in China, and in
the protection of the foreign embas-
sizes and legations. great change
has come over the administration in
this regard, for as late as yesterday
there was a firm determination not
to go beyond the employment of ma
rines and sailors.

THUNDERSTORM saved tho Burglars
Burglars pried open the door of the
Marion County State bank at Florence
and blew the vault doors open, prob
ably with dynamite, but were unable
to break into the safe proper. After
taking few stamps and mutilated
coins, they went to the Palace drug
and jewelry store, blew the door off
the safe and took about $40 in money
and jewelry valued at from $500 to
$500 The report from the charge
used on the safe aroused persons liv-
ing near the store, who Immediately
got out guns and revolvers and sur
rounded the store. However, heavy
thunderstorm and the downpour OF
rain came, making it SO dark that the
burglars easily escaped.

Students Wan. to Control.

John Madden. one of the regents
of the state normal school, has be-
gun a fight for student government
at that institution. This action is
the result of trouble between the stu
dents and the head Of the physical
culture department, Miss Maud Stone.
The boys want person in the ply
zeal culture department who can act
as football coach. President Taylor
believes that a school con no more
be governed by popular vote than
can an army. and it is generally con-
coded that if the movement to gov
ern the 1000 students attending the
state normal should succeed, he would
resign.

Republicans VIII Turn Out In Large
Numbers at Precinct Meetings.
Lists should He sent In.

Republicans are expected to turn out In
numbers at the precinct caucuses which
will be held at O'Clock tonight for the
nomination of delegates to the city con-
vention. These delegates will be elected at
the primaries which will be held Saturday
between the hours of and y. m.
Everything Is In readiness for the
caueuses at which. under the law. twice
the number of delegates allotted to each
precinct should be nominated. Tickets have
been printed In advance of the primaries
in many precincts. The real contes; be-
tween the partisans of the various mayor
atty aspirants will. however not begin I'M
Ill the primary elections are opened.
The managers of the various aspirants
for the mayoraity nomination were busy
yesterday fixing up tickets In the several
wards and in giving final instructions 10
their representatives throughout the city.
No claims of increased strength were made
on any side. BY the friends OF all eandi-
dates II was stated that large vote at the
primaries would be sought 50 that the con-
test could be decided upon It's merits.

MAY NOT NAME A TICKET,
silver Republicans DO Not Apparent
Iy Favor Candidates ON the
NOnpartisnu.POpu1i Ticket.

Predictions are freely made by leading
members of the Silver Republican city
committee that no nominations viii be
made by the convention OF that party,
which meets Monday at Olympic haii. on
Second avenue.
one OF the foremost Silver Republicans
said last night; we are not ready 70
indorse any of the candidates named by
the nonpartisans and Democrats. nor are
we going into this mayoralty ngAt alone
and single handed. To do this would be
folly, because we could not expect to elect
any man on our ticket.
THE Silver Republicans had hoped for
the formation of another fusion combina-
ton. along lines similar TO those which
Gratis. however, have taken a stand for
straight ticket and the use of the party
name in any event. We are not Demo-
Gratis. We owe no allegiance to that party
or its principles. Nor are we Populists.
Seeing that there is little or no proba-
bility of the Democrats and nonpartisans
getting together on fair basis, the Sill
'ver Republicans do not expect to lead a
forlorn hope. and will, in my opinion elect
another committee. place our party af-
fairs In its hands. state by resolution the
position we occupy on city and national
issues, and allow each member of the
party tn vote as he pleases."
No primaries will be held by the silver
Republicans Delegates to the convention
win be named at ward caucuses 10 be held
Saturday night at 1870 O'Clock. The con-
vention meets at 10 o'clock Monday in
olympic hall. The caucuses viii be held
at the following places:

''It was about $3.50 in the morning
of the 10th, when we were in latitude

But the man owned by his money bends

For cash is but curse to one who plates

Who mix the gold of manliness with Nam

ruin-bait reject.
Will squarely face the sunshine and pre-
serve his self-respect.

Who traffic in their principles, their voices

Who wriggle like low reptiles on self

Whose soul-sails shift like wings of bats

With missing links of looseness never let
your lives connect
But couple up to courage and to solid self
respect.
What profits it though evil triumph for
few fleeing years,
Your cold ill-gotten money dampened by
the wronged ones tears,
Your honors trimmed with sadness and your

The animal donkey that you fancied was

Avoid all dirty doings. each a danger and

Just manumit your manhood and preserve

1t is doubtful if the average reader

In China these are often round, leaf
shaped or semicircular. In placing
them the builder usually avoids having
one opposite another, lest evil spirits
find their way from the street into the
recesses of the building. The door
ways separating the courts of garden
are usually of an elaborate kind, and
