Various clubs, delegations and depu-

that the length of the Presidents stay

BROUGHT OUT MISSIONARIES.

NEW YORK, July ia dispatch to
the Herald from Che Foo dated Monday
via Shanghai. Tuesday, says:
The steamer chartered by the Ameri-
can Consul to rescue missionaries has
returned from its third trip, bringing
Is Catholics and six Americans. The
latter were the Rev. W. B. Hamilton
and the Rev. H. P. Perkins and wife,
from Gilman Flu, and the Rev. C. W.
Natter and Prof. Lason Wells, wife and
child from Teng Chow Flu.
The missionaries report that at Yang
Kwo, where they embarked the Boxers
collected and threatened them. Ma
tiv Christians were suffering great per-
secution. The American refugees are
leaving here for Japan at every oppor-
tunity. The situation at Tien Tsin and
Chez Foo is unchanged. No news
reaches here from Pekin.
Dissatisfaction is expressed by the
British residents here at the refusal Of
the British admiral to station a war
ship in the harbor. They are grateful
to the American government for the
Nashville, which is here almost contin-
uously. But for the Nashville, Chez Foo
would often be without any protection.
Many other warships visit here, but
none stay. A steamer which has just
arrived reports that the native city Of
New Chwang has been burned.

Harvey Harmer, of Harrison, who iB
here attending the Republican State

next Monday by the Republicans of the
Third Senatorial district as a candi-

If Mr.. Hammer will furnish the oratory
he will furnish the money to carry the
Third Senatorial districs for the Re-
publicans.
Ex-senator o. G. Young, of Upshur,
who represented the Tenth district in
the State Senate for one term, is be-
ing urged by Mr. Elkins to run again,
but Mr.. Young seriously objects to be-
ing made cats paw for Mr.. Elkins
benefit. He is engaged in the practice
of law and it is not to his interest TO
quit his law practice and run for the
Senate just for the pleasure of voting
for Mr.. Elkins.
The Democrats of the Tenth district
will run VIM. Post for the State SEN

the Republicans consider it necessary
to pit against him their strongest
man, who is conceded to be U. G..
Young. If ex-senator Young carries
out his present plans to stay at home
and practice law this year the Republi-
cans will have to seek elsewhere for a
