CHICAGO, Sept 25.-The Republican
campaign was formally opened at ths
Auditorium tonight. under the auspices OF
the Marquette Club. Senator Albert j.
Beveridge. of Indiana, was the principal
speaker Chicago gave him a genuine ova-
ton. Long before the hour for opening tho
doors of the Auditorium Congress street
was filled from Michigan to Wabash ave-
nues and great numbers were unable TO OBJ
tain admission. Every seat in the house
from stage to top gallery was occupied
and hundreds of people stood in the aisles
and at the rear holding their places tena-
ciously until the close OF the senator's ad-
dress Judge Nathaniel c. Sears. of this
city, presided and when in his speech OF
introduction he announced that Senator
Beveridge would reply to Mr.. Bryan's let

At the conclusion of his speech hundreds

LONDON, Sept. &c, 4 a. m.-The news
from China indicates that events are rap

hal correspondent of the Morning Post,
that Count Won Waldersee, on arriving
at Taku. will present an ultimatum de-
manding the surrender of FIVE leaders Of
the anti-foreign uprising. After a few
hours grace he will formally declare war:
and. taking advantage of Germanys posi-
tion as belligerent. he will proceed to
seize everything available with the Ger
man forces and fleet. 1t is expected that
Germany will take the Wu-Sung forts and
the kian-Gan arsenal thus dominating
Shanghai. 1t is also believed that she
will attack the Kiang-win forts on
the Yang-Tse from the land side,
and endeayor to seize the Chi
nese fleet, including the valuable
new cruisers. Failing this. she will at LEAST
occupy all the province of Kiang-Su north
of the YangTse Kiang. The French will
support Germany. This is not rumor. but
reliable information, and will probably be
confirmed at the Foreign Office Prompt

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25-The most
interesting development in the coal strike
situation to-day was the request of another
county for State troops to assist the
authorities in maintaining order. On Fri
day last the sheriff of Schuyll<ill county
asked the Governor for troops and the
request was granted, three regiments of
the National Guard being Immediately sent
into that county. To-day Sheriff Harvey,
of Luzerne county, notified the Governor
that owing TO the night marches of the
strikers he could not guarantee the safety
of persons and property, and asked that
State troops be sent TO his county The
Governor, after deliberation, concluded
that the situation at present in Luzerne
county did not justify the sending of State
troops there and he will not call out more
troops until, in his judgment, there is suf-
ficient cause therefor. He will confer to-
morrow with Sheriff Harvey further on the
subject.
The marching strikers in Luzerne coun-
ty before daylight this morning were quite
successful in getting men to quit work
and join in the strike. No overt acts were
committed by them, however, and when
met by the sheriff and his deputies and
ordered to disperse they obeyed the order.
They did so though in rather a sullen man.
ner, and some of them somewhat angrily
disputed the sheriff's authority to prevent
their moving along the highway. Four of
their number were placed under arrest on
the charge of breach of peace. Rioting in
previous miners strikes usually resulted
from the acts of marching bodies of strik-
ers, and the sheriff, being apprehensive.
is endeavoring to break up that style of
strike campaigning.
Beyond the incident of the sheriffs dis
persing the marchers, the entire coal re-
gion was free from disorder during the
day and tonight Few mines were worked
to-day. The strikers ranks were increased
and no defections were reported.

The statesmen of the powers are

people in America have any adequate
idea of what such an opening will in

China is shut off from communication
with the rest of the world can only be
realized by knowing her means and
methods of transportation. The ma
