MYSTERY STILL PREVAILS

Conflicting accounts continue to be
cabled from China. but no direct COM
munication is yet established with Pc
kin. Despite assurances of Iii Hung
Chang and other Chinese authorities
that the onvoys are safe. there is no
absolute certainty that all have not
been massacred. Many reports Of vio-
lence and murder have been received,
and a chaotic condition Of affairs ap-
pears 10 prevail in the empire.
There were no developments at
Washington yesterday to warrant the
assumption that there has been the
slightest improvement in the Chinese
situation. Indeed, the general tendency
OF such news as found light was 10 add
to the steadily growing doubt as to the
good faith OF the Chinese Government
as manifested i'm its acts. Admiral
Kempff's letter made the direct state

he added that the government was af-

controlling the situation.

Third street bridge was again cut OF
order this morning. The steamer Ul-
rica ran through and parted the tenn
porary cables, despite the fact that the
red lights and danger signals were in
plain view. Those who saw the affair
censure the captains conduct in run

returning from Pennsgrove shortly be-
fore II o'clock. anu when she arrived
at Third street bridge a boat was COM

Instead Of stopping until the channel
was clear, the captain of the steamer
started to pass through the north chan

The bridgetender is said to have re.

which resulted i'm the steamers cap

race, but it is very doubtful whether
the people of Kentucky will consent to
place in power a party responsible for
the crimes perpetrated by the Repub-
licans under Taylor" Good Republi-
cans do not countenance or attempt to
Justify the murder Of Goebel any more
than good Democrats attempt to justify
the acts OF Goebel and his party associ-
ates. Goebol was a martyr to his own
political wickedness. for which his own
party would not stand sponsor. His
acts were responsible for that state Of
public feeling which led to the crime Of
his assassination. His record is almost
as black with political iniquity as that
of his slayer is with moral depravity.
Kentucky Republicans repudiate the
killing OF Goebel with the same We
hemence that they denounced his re-
peated and brazen attempts to over
throw the ballot-box as an institution
for ascertaining the will Of the people
on matters Of public import.

Martins home was in Trappe. Nd

by whom the young man was employed
here, admitted that Martin had some
trouble while here. but it did not
seem to worry him, for when he left
this city he apparently was in the best
of spirits. Mr.. Griffin had heard moth
ing of Martin since he left Wilmington,
until he learned of his sudden death
this morning The telegram from the
Baltimore police does not state to
what means Martin resorted to end his

not to put a national ticket in the field
this FAN. As a consequence the men

four years ago and who are firm In
their opposition to Bryan and Free Sill
yer will vote for Mckinley and Roose-

say that there are from 500 to ,0OC
Democrats who will vote the Republi-
can national ticket in preference to the
one nominated in Kansas City. The
vote for Palmer and Buckner in this
state did not mark the extent of the
Democratic detection four years ago.
1t only indicated the number of Those
who preferred the middle course in
politics. There were many others who
voted the Republican national ticket
outright This year, when no middle
course is left open, the Palmer and

will return TO the democratic party
