large attendance at both meetings. and the ap-
plause was frequent and general AT the afternoon
meeting Mr.. Bryan was preceded by webster Davis
and J. r. Sovereign. He was not heard until after
4 o'clock and he spoke briefly devoting himself TO
a considerable extent to State politics, urging the
fusion forces of the State TO make sure of the
success not only of the electoral ticket but of the
members OF Congress. United States Senators ana

which our people stand are DIRECTLY antagonistie T

He referred to the Republican policy in the
newly acquired possessions, saying. among other
things, this point:
The Republicans say we want so cent dollar;
they have given an So per cent citizen in Porto

Referring to the election of United States Sen

RUSSIA MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
RENfEY CONFIRMS REPORT THAT CZAR
IS AT WAR WITH CHINA.
By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 25-The most unsatisfac-
tory development of the day. far the
Pacific programme of this Government goes, was
the receipt OF dispatch from Admiral Remey
conveying the reports which had reached him
of a disagreement between the commander of
the Russian forces in Peking and the other in
ternationaI leaders. The text of this dispatch
was not made public but It was said on good
authority to contain the statement that the
Russian commander had forbidden communica-
ton with the Chinese on the ground that Russia
was technically well as practically at
with China. 1t may be said that this informa-
ton was not conveyed by Admiral Remey as
official news, but merely report from re-
liable sources which he considered this Gov
ernment should possess for its own informa-
tion. Assuming Remey's report to be correct.
this move the part of Russia strikes the first
note OF discord in the heretofore harmonious
concert OF the Powers. The possibilities OF flu
ture complications that It opens up are almost
may be said, however. that the news is not
taken very seriously by this Government and
certainly will not affect the United states's
course in any way, until IL has been officially
confirmed.
It was explained that the situation growing
out of the joint occupation Of Peking by the
Powers was delicate. although not necessarily
be described serious. The interests of all
the Powers there represented were at least COM

London, Aug. %. 6 a ma report has reached
Shanghai to the effect that Japanese troops
have overtaken the Empress Dowager and the
Chinese Imperial Court eighty miles to the south
west Of Pekng It is further stated that the
Emperor at once threw himself upon the pro-

report has, however yet been received from
Japsnese official sources.
Further intelligence from Peking shows that
the fanatical hatred Of the Chinese populace
for the native Christians was in evidence to
the last. everything belonging to the latter
being utterly destroyed by the mob.

LBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNEl

LBY CABLE TO TRIBUNEl
London. Aug. 26. a. m-Lord Roberts has
left Pretoria for the first time in several weeks,
and sends a despatch from Wonderfontein 112
miles east of the capital. describing the progress
made by French and Pole-Carew in pressing
back Louis Bothas army. The good impress
sion produced by this information yesterday
somewhat damDened by n later message from
the Commander -in-Chief. stating that another
little mishap had occurred to part of General
Buffers force, engaged with another of Botha's
commanders Thursday. By some mistake
two companies of a British infantry regiment
advanced far beyond the firing line after an en-
gagement was supposed to have ceased, and
were surrounded by the Beers losing nearly
one hundred men killed, wounded and prisoners.
The affair was unimportant, except showing
the continued activity and alertness of the Beers
in this quarter.
De Wet, however is said to be retiring across
the mountain passes to the Orange River Colony
in a very crippled condition and with a mere
remnant Of his followers.
Sir Charles Warren has just arrived in Lon
don from South Africa. and is in a communi-
cative mood. The gallant General is by no
means inclined to sit down quietly under the
criticisms passed upon him. and opened his cam
paign by speaking freely about Spion Kop,
tailed explanation to the War Offce. He does
not admit responsibility for the occupation of
that position, which, he said he did not ap-
prove. but. the contrary. suggested to Gen
eral Butler alternative plan, which was the
one eventually adopted by that General. At the
same time, General Warren says, when or
dered to seize Spion Kop he did so, and the
troops could have maintained themselves there
till the Beers abandoned the attack had not
Colonel Thorneycroft unaccountaby given the
order to retire during the night. For this move
ment General Warren contends that he was
himself in no way to blame 1t is evident that
there is likely to be q rather sharp controversy
on this. as on several other points, between some
of the rival generals and their supporters when
the campaign is finished, or, possibly. before.
The British public, however, is less interested
in these matters than it would have been re-
Gently. In the early part of the war tre-
