NO GOLD DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Bynum Says There Will Ge None
This Year

This Year.
New York, July II. A special to
the Times from Washington says:
The gold democrats will not put Il
ticket in the field this year" said W..
ID. Bynum, of Indiana, chairman of
the gold democratic executive com
nlittee in 1896. We cannot get our
electors on the official ballot in New
York because no votes were cast for
the party candidate for governor in
1898, and the state law requires that
certain number of votes shall have
been cast for state officers i'm the pre-
ccding election before the nominees
of any party can go on the official bal
lot in the pending contest. Our party
organization in New York was aban-
doned two years ago, mcmb@ of our
purity voting other tickets.
''1he only way we can have our can
didates for electors put on the official
ballot is by petition OF u certain mum
Der of voters in each county, an eN-
ceedingly difficult thing to do in the
present case, as the members of the
gold democratic party have affiliated
the old parties on the new issue. New
York is the one state whore our ticket
might do the republicans some good,
and if we cannot get in ON the official
ballot there is little use of noninat-
ing a national ticket. The new Aus
tralian ballot laws i'm other states also
operate against independent move.

A RETURNED MISSIONARY.

Rev. $. S. Woodbridge Fears Many
OF His ltreLhren Mere Slain.
San Francisco, Cal, July 10. Rev.
S. /. Woodbridge, IL Presbyterian mis-
sonury, who has been at Chinkiang,
ON the Iangtee river, for the past iii
teen years, arrived on the Coptic from
Shanghai, with his wife and children,
on furlough. All cities and towns
along the langtee We're greatly eNcit-
ed and on the Verge OF AN uprising
when Woodbridge left Chinl<iang,
june 10. In fact. the day had been
fixed for the obstruction of all prop
rrty owned by foreigners and the
murder of foreigners themselves
Woodbridge believes that by this time
a terrible fnte has met those foreign
ers who failed TO heed his warning
and flee from the impending lnassa-
ere.
1T would be difficult to estimate
the number of foreigners along the
Iangtee river" said Woodbridge.
There are literally thousands of mis-
sionaries in the great valley and be
You'd, further in the interior. Nearly
every one has family and / hope the
missionaries have at least sent their
families to Peking.
american Consul Martin telegraph
ed for gunboat just before | left
Chinkiang, but it is not likely one
could be sent to him, as all vessels
had gone to Taku. This leaves the
situation very bad at Chinkang 1t

WIN EIGHT OUT OF TEN.
American Athletes Carry or Nearly
Eyerythiux at Paris.

Paris, July 17.-Although deprived
of the service of her best athletes
who declined to contest i'll yesterdays
events of the worlds amateur cham
pionship i'll the Bots de Boulogne, OBJ
jecting to Sunday competition, Amer
lea won eight out of ten of those de-
cided, gaining five second positions
and four third.
A. G.. kraenzlein, of the University
of Pennsylvania, whom MIR. Prinstein
beat Saturday, Sunday jumped in the
finals for the broad jump and won
over Prinstein's jump by Il small mar
gin. Each had three jumps Saturday,
but Kraenzlein had six more yester-
day, while Prinstein, although on the
grounds, could not jump, as his col
lege authorities refused to sanction
Sunday contests. He entered Il pro-
test after the games, but there is lit
tie hope that it will be allowed.
The Representatives of the tniver-
sity of Pennsylvania had Il large share
of the winnings, and their contesting
caused some feeling on the part OF
other college men. In order to over
come the feeling cased by Messrs.
johnson and Dvoracll being out of the
pole vault event, the French officials
have agreed to offer a special prize
for pole vault Thursday.
On the initiative of Mr.. Cherill, of
Yale, a protest signed by all the
American teams has been presented to
y. q. Spalding, director of sports at
che exposition. 1t says:
I'VE, the undersigned, beg to pro-
test against the change i'm the agreed

ing:
"rhe secretary of state has received
a dispatch from Consul McWade, at
Canton, saying Ii Hung Chang sailed
today for Hong Kong. He received
an edict last night appointing him
viceroy of Chilli, and commanding
his immediate presence there. Fears
are entertained at Canton that his
absence may give occasion for dis
turbance of the peace. French gum
boats have arrived ut Canton.
Hong Kong, July IL. All the for
eign cons,ls i'm Canton had am inter
view with Lii Hung Chang ON the 10th,
but failed to dissuude him from going
north. He is said to have accepted
full responsibility for amy disturbance
in Canton during his absence. He
takes the viceregal seal along with
him. thus preventing the issue of proc
lamations while he is away. Ii Hung
Chang is expected to reach Hong
Kong today and tomorrow will pro
coed northward
The Black Flag chief, Leu zee, is
moving his forces preparatory to
marching overland 10 Pelsing. The
Chinese are glad of this, as they think
Canton will be safer without Leu zee
while Lii Hung Chang is away.

Disembarged This Week.
London, July 10. European jour
nails today are indulgi:lg IN great
deal of wild talk, crediting the powers
with having decided to lay Peking in
ashes. to remove the capital to Can
ton and to hang the empress and
Prince Tuan; but the writers fail to
take into account the difficulties
which would attend such undertake
ings. However, the chancellories fully
recognize the task confronting the
great powers. AS a matter of fact,
the only thought for the moment of
the powers is how best to reach Pc
king. Once there they can be depended
upon, according to the best official in
formation, to exact whatever penalty
appears to be most striking and eff
fective.
This mornings news of the success
of the allied forces at Ten Tsin,
though the success has been dear
ly bought, appears to clear the
air somewhat. This victory over the
Chinese, ii is hoped, will enable the
allies to resume preparations for an
advance, especially as today it is Of
f1cially announced japanese force of
$4,000 will be disembarked by the 10Th
at the latest. The suggestion of scat
tering forces throughout China in
pursuit of the Boxers emanates
wholly from irresponsible quarters. In
official circles there is a full realiza-
ton of the necessity of having the
coast towns occupied and secure be-
fore proceeding TO Peking. The only
course open to the powers is to re-
main in the capital until fanaticism
wears itself out and the elements Of
an orderly native government begin
to emerge.
According to Shanghai dispatch
published here today, 100000 Chinese
troops, armed with Mauser rifles and
modern artillery are encamped at
three points within fifty miles of
Shanghai ready to besiege the town in
the event of an attack by Europeans
upon the Woo Sung forts.
According to telegram from Chez
foo received here today ITO of the al
lies troops were killed in the assault
upon the native city of Tien Tsin.
