Against Mckinley

About fvac hundred Boston market
men and Others opposed to the re,elec-
ton of President Mckinley because of
the Philippine policy of the admins
tration, held rally in Fapeuil Hall at
noon Tuesday. Ga the pltform were
George 8. Boutwell,, former governor Of
Massachusetts,; Gam sliel Bradford,
Erwin Winslow, and other we'll. .kno"
anti mperialists. The principal ad-
dress was made by Ex-Governor Bout
we'll, who justified the action Of those
who had Withdrawn from the Republi-
can party or account Of its attitude on
the question Of mperialism by the state
ment that the Republican party itself
was born of deserters from parties then
existing. Ringing resolutions were
adopted, the striking phrase of which
follows: I'VE believe that free silver
is less serious! than free slaughter; We
depreciate the cannon abroad; the doc
trine that Americans can be made rich
taxation and Filipinos righteous by
force, and the prstice Of assimilation Of
lower races in Asia and the maleVolent
dissipation Of higher ideas in America. y

ANOTHER BATTLE
In Which the--Americans suffsz
Serious Loss.
CASUALTIES OF SIXTY.
The Town, Of Yang Tsun was
Captured and,,Will be
the Base of the
Allies.

A dispatch from washington says
the capture Of Yang Tsun, the final OBJ
jective point Of the international forces
was the supreme news Of importance
received Thursday on the Chinese situa-
tion. The first word of this capture,
effected last Monday, came in brief
dispatch to the signal Office at the war
department from Col. Scriven, the sig
nal officer at Chefoo, saying:
Chefoo, Aug. 9.-Ysng Tsup cap
tured today. Wire up. Need owa
transportation. All well. Scriven.
Half an hour after this message q
cablegram came from Gen. Chatfee,
giving additional details Of the capture
and showing that it had been at the
cost Of about so casualties among the
American troops. Gen. Chafee's dis
patch is as follows:
Yang Tsun, Aug. s.
Yang Tsun occupied today. Wounded
Second Lieut.. Frank R. Long, Ninth
infantry. moderate; casualties ABOUT so
men. Ninth United States infantry;
Fourteenth United States infantry aud
Battery F, Fifth U. s. artillery. Nearly
all from Fourteenth infantry. Names
later. Many men Frustrated, heat and
fatigue. Chafee.
JAPANESE REPORT.
Hardly less important was dispatch
from Gen. Terauchi, second in com.
mani on the Japanese staff, sent to the
war Office Of Japan, and transmitted to
the legation here, stating that he in
ternstionsl army would total 80, 600
men on Aug. Is, at which time the real
advance on Pekin would begin. Gen.
Terauchi's dispatch stated that on the
4th, when it was forwarded, the ad-
vance had not yet begun. This was at
first incomprehensible, in view Of the
fact that fighting has actually occurred.
But the later statement that the inter
national force would total so, 900 on the
10th appears to make clear Gen. Terau-
chi's meaning and to reconcile it with
Gen. Chafee's dispatches. The pres
ent movement of some $1,000 men
doubtless is viewed in the light Of
reconnaissance in force, the main move
meat of the army Of $4,000 to follow
on the 10Th. This makes clear the
meaning of Gen. Chafee's dispatch
that Yang Tsun was the objective
point. The war department here has
been considerably puzzled over this
statement Of an objective point, far
short of Pekin. 1t would appear, how
ever, from Gen. Teraucbi's dispatch
that the first force of 5000 men hav-
ing opened up communications to Yang
Tsun, brought forward supplies ana es-
tablished this advance base, the way
would then be clear for the advance Of
the larger force on the 10Th. The cap
ture of Yang Tsun is therefore an in
portant strategic branch Of the fast
maturing military plans. The place is
about l8 miles beyond Tien Tain and
little less than quarter Of the way to
Pekin.
Aside from the military developments
Of the day the diplomatic aspect of the
crisis was made more clear by the pub
licatiou of the demand made BY the
United States on the imperial govern
ment Of China and transmitted to Min
lister WI last evening.

M'KINLEY SCORED

Wellington, Of Maryland, Gives
His Reason for Not Voting

United States Senator George l.
Wellington, of Mary land, Republican
has made formal statement Of hi:
attitude in the present campaign. HI
says:
81 an unalterably opposed to the
reelection Of President Mckinley
Bryan is better man in every way
than Mckinley, aud l regard his elec
tion as essential to the preservation oi
the Republic.
"In regard to the Philadelphia plat
form as a grave departure from The
faith Of our fathers. 1t is not the Re.
publicanism Of Lincoln, but an indorse.
ment of the inimical policies foisted
upon the country by Mckinley.
II am an,i-imperialist. l do not
talk one way in congress and another
way on the outside, nor do I talk one
way and act another. am not like
old Hoar-able to appeal to the past
and the future, and then stultify my
self. l see only the present. The
past is gone and the future can care for
itself; but Ill help take care Of the
present.
II am convinced there is great Sc
cret alliance with Eagland beyond any
doubt. You remember the cry that was
raised against Cleveland Of subserviency
to England There was not one quar-
ter ground for it that there is for the
same cry against Mckinley. He would
not dare do thing that would be uu-
acceptable to England, for he is moth
ing more than an English proeonsu!.
"President Mckinley has betrayed

Treaty and would never have voted for
its ratification Of my own volition. |
told the president so, and he induced
me to vote for it by solemnly pledging
me that it was not the intention of him.
Sc + or the government to forcibly hold
or permanently acquire the Philip
ines.
He further said that his personal
desire was to restore law and order in
the islands and then submit the matter
to congress, with the idea Of having it
grant absolute freedom aud self-govern-
ment to the Fllipinos. With that pledge
from President Mckinley I voted for
the treaty. Without it never should
have done so.
The resolution offered in the SEN
ate and which was the basis Of my
speech on the Philippine question,
provided for exactly what the presi-
dent himself told me he desired to bring
about.
"B:ya1 is absolutely tight on the one
great issue involved in this campaign,
and, with the money question at rest
for four years, he is bigger, better
and safer man than Mckinley. Even
if the money question were not settled,
Bryan is man Of too much sense to
undertake to tamper with the currency.
Bryan is certain to be our next presi-
dent, and | shall be glad to see him
elected
Mckinley is totally unfit for che
Office of president, because he is so weak
and vaoillating that he cant stick to an
opinion over night. If he could know
his own mind and be consistent fol
twenty four hours at time he might
do, but such thing is impossible with
him, and for thu: reason he is unfit tc

CONGER HEARD FROM AGAIN.
Little Ammunition or Provisions and
Attack Expected.

A dispatch from Washington says
another cablegran came to the state
department late Wednesday afternoon
from Minister Conger ct Pekin-the
second that has been received direct
from him since June -. It is the first
which has come direct from the minis
ter siuce the above date, the other hav-
ing been received through the inter-
mediary Of the Chinese minister, Mr..
WI. Wednesdays adyices show that
the situation in the Chinese capital is
still Of a very serious character, that
the ministers are still in danger from
the Chinese troops and that their sup
plies Of ammunition and provisions has
been reduced to a very considerable ex-
tent. So important were the statements
contained in the dispatch that confer
ence was held by wire between several
of the officials here and the president
at Canton, lasting for several hours.
at its conclusion the cablegram from
Mr.. Conger was made public as fol-
lows
Secretary Of State.
Still besieged. Situation more pre-
carious. Chinese governnentinsisting
upon our leaving Pekin, which would
be certain death. Rife firing upon US
daily by imperial troops. Have abun-
oant courage but little ammunition or
provisions. Two progressive yameu
ministers beheaded. All connected with
legation Of the United States well at
the present. Conger.
The cablegram came to the Official
cipher of the department. It is un-
dated like Mr.. Conger's previous cable,
but from the internal evidence fur.
nisned By his reference to the behead-
ing Of two members Of tsung-li-yemer
and to the insistancs Of the Chinese
government on the departure Of the
ministers from Pekin, state department
officials say it may be assigned a date
not earlier than July 80, and perhap:
not later than AVg. 2.

dition of the Chinese government IN
his fears that the anti-forelgn element
had gained complete ascendency at

A Call to Organize.

The following address was issued to-
night:
To the Democrats of the United States:
The Democratic party and its friends
must meet the forces of corruption and
intimidation in politics this year by
thorough organization. A Dem mocratic c
club or society should be organized In
every city, town, village and precinct
in the United States. Democrats and
all who are in sympathy with the prln-
ciples set forth in the Kansas City
platform are earnestly urged to join
the Democratic clubs, and when none
exists to assist in organizing them.
This work il uniting the forces OF law
and liberty into one great systematized
civic army should be carried on stimuli
taneously in every part of the country,
and without delay. The friends of the
government, according to the hitherto
unchallenged American theory OF po-
litical equality everywhere under our
flag, cannot afford to be less Jealous or
less active than the advocates Of an
American colonial empire supported BY
rifles.
No patriotic citizen can ignore the at
tacks which are being made upon the
very foundations Of our present ire
proachable form Of government. This
year every citizen should be poll
tician. Clubs and societies should at
once communicate with the secretary
of the National Association Of Demo,
cratic clubs, 1870 Broadway, New York,
so that the united membership may
work Systematically in defense Of the
republi as the fathers made it. Al!
Democratic committees, State and
local, are requested to aid the National
Association of Democratic clubs in this
work.

Wednesday State Chairman Jones
received from Mr.. J. Il. Moore Of
Charleston, candidate for Attorney
General, letter of withdrawal from
the race. In his letter Mr.. Moore
states that be withdraws for reasons
over which he has no control, one be-
ing that he finds it impossible to get
his opponent to meet him upon the
stump. He say, in effect, it IS due to
the number Of friends throughout the
State who have given him encourage
ment to apologize to them for the dis
