The Politician.

Washington, June 29.-President
Mckinley left Washington for his
home at Canton, O., today, where he
expects to spend a month of as neal
rest as a President can ever get. He
will be in telegraphic communication
with Washington all the time, but no
official matters except those of unusu-
al Importance will be sent to him. The
news from China that the foreigners
in Pekin, including the American min
lister and legation and a number OF
American missionaries, were safe and
well, although it came from the Chin
ese Minister who received it in a
roundabout way which caused it to
take a week to get to Washington, is
accepted by Secretary Hay as authori
tative and has resulted in a consider
able lesening of the tension in official
circles President Mckinley expressed
the opinion just before he left Wash
ington that the worst of the trouble in
China was over and the hope that the
United States troops now on their way
would not be needed there. But that
opinion and hope did not prevent his
urging the War Department officials
to see that all orders concerning troops
and supplies for China should be
properly carried out.
Gen. Chaffee, who has been ordered
to China to command the United
States troops, will sail from San
Francisco on the transport Grant,
which is a fast boat, on Sunday, and
S,ith a fairly good voyage, will reach
Taku, China, inside of our weeks. On
the same transport will go the Sixth
United States Cavalry, which, if not
needed in China, will be taken to
Manila, their original destination The
Ninth Cavalry is on the way from
Manila to Taku, where they expect to
land Sunday, and other regulars in
the Philippines are in readiness to go
to China of they are needed. The Sc
lection of Gen. Chaffee TO command
our troops in China is regarded as
good one. He entered the army in
1861 as a private and has long ago es-
tablisher reputation as a hard fight
er. The late Gen. Lawton spoke of
him in an official report as one of the
best practical soldiers in the army
While the subject is not one that
the members OF the administration
would publicly discuss, II is known
that there is strong disposition in
official circles to regard the greed of
European nations. and not the Box
ers, as the source OF the greatest dan
ger in China.
Nothing could speak palmer for the
all-round excellence OF the Republican
national platform that the fact that
the enemies of the Republican party
are deyoting their time to squabbling
over the personalship of this or that
plank of the platform instead OF criti-
cising the document as whole. 1t in
dicates that 1t is such good plath-
form that the opponents of the Repub-
lican party can find nothing in 1t to
criticise. The voters will show what
they think of 1t by triumphantly
electing Mckinley and Roosevelt.

chances OF war. lie seems destined TO
take high rank as 4 partisan leader.
When the British column of some
$500 men, belonging to General
French's division, occupied Thaban-
chu, General De Wet was with his
force near Brandport. On learning
the strength of the British he started
with the commands under Comman-
dants Piet and Christian DE Wet and
Andres Cronje in the direction of
Thabanchu, the total force not exceed
ing 1,600 men. on March 80 they were
in laager at Marais farm, about 10
miles southeast of Brandport, when
word was received that the British
had struck camp at Thabanchu and
were pCsparins 10 retire OH Bloemfon-
TEN. 1t was afterward learned that
they had heard of the presence of Gen
eral Olivier east of Thabanchu and
feared an attack from that quarter.
General De Wet Immediately decided
to strike at the retreatinG column and
selected the valley in which the BlOem-
fontein waterworks are situated as
the point of attack. Orders were given
on the same afternoon, March 80, for
a forced march during the night, and

their escape good and left the infantry
to take care of themselves. The trans
