PHILIPPINE JUNTAS.
British Government Unable to Locate
 One In Hong Kong.

Washington, December 12-The British government having formally notified the United States government it has been un- able to locate the reported Filipino Junta in Hong Kong, our governmental agencies have been put to work to ascertain how the munitions of war and other supplies which reached the insurgent FNilipinos originate. It has now been discovered that the Portu- guese settlement of Maceo, located on the Chinese coast and convenient to the Philip pines. is one point of insurgent activity and probably the abiding place of one of the Philippine Juntas. A further investisa- tion is being made pending which no action has been taken in an international sense.

NEW YORK PRIMARIES.
Substantial Victory For the Croker.
Murphy Forces.


New York, Aug. 20.-The Herald this
morning says:
David b. Hill and Comptroller Bird s.
Coler seem to have gone down before the
impetuous attack of the Croker Murphy
forces in the Democratic primaries held
iii the principal cities of the state yes
terday.
Indications last night pointed to the
control of the state convention by Mr..
Croker and Mr.. Murphy, the defeat of
Mr.. Coler's candidacy for governor and
the nomination of n state ticket in SYM
pathy with Tammany Hall.
"Greater New York will be solidly
against Hill and Coler. In Brooklyn,
where the comptroller expected to divide
the delegation, his friends were put to
rout. and the organization as represented
by James Shcvlin is in complete control
of the situation.
"In the interior of the state the Hill
forces scored some unexpected victories,
but not enough to redeem the day.
abraham Gruber, who has declared
war on Senator Platt in the Twenty
assembly district of this borough, won a
sweeping victory.
"Willam f. Shechan, who went to
Buffalo to overthrow Norman Il. Mack.
Mr.. Croker's member of the national
committee, and to restore Erie county to
the Hill column, carried only one of the
% wards of the city. His repulse was
more complete than even the Croker
Murphy faction had expected. 1t clinch-
ed the nail that Kings county had driven
into Mr.. Hills ambition"

THE CHINESE CRISIS.

Europeans have been teaching the Chi

World.
Not since Napoleon Bonaparte escaped
from Elba has such an avalanche of
trouble threatened the civilized nations
of the earth.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
The precipitation of war with China by
the allied powers before they had forces
in position to defend their citizens made
the murder of their residents in China
the logical result.-Philadelph Times.
There is a grim suggestiveness in the
fact that such modern army as China
possesses is largely the product of Ger,
man instruction, as it was drilled by Ger.
man officers and armed with German
guns.-Troy Times.
The surprise caused by the weakness
Of China in the war with Japan may be
followed by another surprise caused by
the discovery that the 400,000,000 Chi
nese, after all, constitute a gigantic
power.-Philadelphi Record.
If the powers cannot save, they can
punish If their punishment must be
slow, it will be sure and deadly and last
Ing; the memory of it will linger in Chi
nese tradition like the horrid punishments
of the Indian mutiny.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
China is defying the world. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether the 400, 900, 600
of natives can be led into war or whether
the nation lacks cohesiveness, as has so
often been asserted. 1t is at least certain
that when the present trouble is ended
the world will know more about China
than it does now.-Indianapoli journal.

As predicted some time ago by the

at the Kansas City convention. Under
the magnificent leadership of Col. J.

unit, welded large influence in the
great convention, not alone in shaping
the platform, but in the nomination of
the vice president. Mr.. Stevenson owes
his nomination largely to Col. Guffey.
with the Pennsylvania delegation be-
hind him. On Tuesday eveng prior to
the meeting of the convention Col. Cuff
fey in conference with three or four
other national leaders. concluded that
the vice presidential nominee must be
Democrat, and at this meeting Mr..
Stevenson was agreed upon as the
most available man for the vice presi-
dental nomination, and from this con-
ference Col. Guffey took up the fight
and maintained it until the man of
his choice was selected. The wisdom
of that choice is Universally conceded.
Senator Hill, of New York, was a fa-
vorite for vice president, not alone in
Pennsylvania, but in many other
states of the Union. Col. Guffey. how
ever, soon learned after his arrival in
Kansas City that Hill would not accent
n nomination and that his nomination
would Be unwise, and with his usual
quick discerament decided on Steven
son. 1t is satisfaction for Pennsyl-
vania Democrats to know that their
their trusted leader was one of the few
men whose advice was sought by dele
gates from all sections of the country.
He has made national reputation as
one OF the great leaders of the marty
