ton in the bonbardment of the Taku forts
several of the London papers are beginning
to find out that Rear Admiral kempff had
better foresight than was possessed by the
allied chancellories of Europe when he pro-
tested against an attack on the Taku forts
on the ground that it would throw the
Chinese government into the arms of the
Boxers and make al the other nations tech
nicaly at war with China. And the inad-
visibility of attacking Taku when the in
ternational forces We're manifestly insuffi-
cient even TO guard the legations and the
Europeans in the interior from retaliation
is now generally acknowledged.
From the far east there is practically no
additional news. Runners are current in
Paris that the British embassy has receiv-
ed notification of the massacre of the
French and British ministers at Pekin, but
there is no confirmation of the report.
Shanghai reports that the international
forces at Tien Tsin are suffering from lack
of good drinking water, owing to the Pei-ho
river being choked with the corpses of
Chinese and other victims of the bonn
bardment.
According to the same dispatch the in
ternational troops so far from being strong
enough to advance towards Pekin, are not
sufficiently numerous to attack the Chinese
still surrounding Tien Tsin and keeping up
a desultory fire on the place. Thousands
of Chinese are said to be arriving from
reoccupy the bridge leading to Taku.

Nebraska DeIeEation Meets

The Nebraska delegation held meeting

with the Towne movement by wearing Towne
badges and talking Towne Word is being
passed along that the spirit of this conven-
ton is represented by Bryan and Towne
and free silver at the ratio of 16 to l. A can
vass by the modifers to determine whether
they could make successful fight in the
convention showed that there were but 242
who could be relied upon to fight. The can
vass was confined to those sections where
they might have reasonable hope of find
ing support, and 140 Of those whom they
counted on declined to go into the fight
The question whether the contest over the
platform shall be carried into the conven-
ton, is to be decided tomorrow evening.
The opinion is expressed by some of those
most active in the leadership of the modi-
fication movement that it will be no use
making an open fight in the convention If
1t is found in advance that they cannot
succeed. In identifying themselves with the
convention with the knowledge that ma
jority of the delegates We're pledged to
Bryan and the Chicago platform. the anti
Bryan leaders have placed themselves in a
position where they cannot consistently re-

Governor Pattison that there will be no

FRAUD ORDERS ISSUED.
Persons Barred From the Use of the
Mails.


Several important fraud orders have just
been issued by the assistant attorney gen.
eral for the Post Office Department One
was against NJ. H. Ross and others of Ely
ria and Cleveland, Ohio. for operating
through the mails an alleged scheme to
defraud. In this case Lawyer Ross ad-
vertises as follows in the newspapers:
Does any good, honest man want good,
affectionate wife, a maiden, independently
wealthy? Please address Guardian, box
277. Elyria, n. "
When victim writes for further informa-
ton he is sent a copy of a letter purporting
to come from the guardian of a young and
accomplished lady to her attorney, setting
forth the large fortune of her ward and
the necessity for immediate marriage to
save her from insanity. The lawyer asks
for a remittance of S25 to nav court fees
and says in his letter that surely the
would-be husband of the heiress would not
have the girl pay that triff1ing sum, when
he is to receive $4,000 cash. 1t appears
from the record in the case that the letters
sent to Elyrta We're returned as undelivered
but one sent to Ross at Cleveland was de-
livered at the county Jail of Cuyahoga
county, Ohio
A fraud order was also issued against j.
d. Bass and e. w. Barlow of Jersey City

inspector got into correspondence with
them and found the suspicion warranted

The threatened Indian uprising in the
Rainy Lake region Of Minnesota was one
of the subjects considered at the cabinet
conference at the State Department yester-

ened, and expressing the fear that it might
get beyond the control Of the state authori-
ties. 1t was concluded that more definite
information as to the exact condition of
affairs was needed before the federal au-
thorities could properly interfere in the
matter, and in order to procure this infor-
nation Secretary Root has telegraphed to
Brgadier General Wade at St. Paul, COM
manding the Department of Dakota, to
proceed at once to Rat Portage and ascer-
tain the condition and extent of the trouble.
The question OF the dispatch Of troops to

Peters to get into trouble for killing Africans aud made the French officers in he in- terior of Africa recently say other of ficers sent to their relief. Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuck and, frenzied, kills right ane left until he himself is killed. The word @amuck" is a corruption of the Javanese word "amoak," to kill. There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally gees crazy through an oyerinduIgence In opium or hasheesE and, springing from his shack" runs naked through the streets of the vil- lage. killing all whom he nay meet. When in Malay village the cry ,.Amucks is raised. it is Ike the cry of Mad dog!'' in an American village. ard the popu1aee turns out with long bamboo spears ard kills the man as soon as they can. But the .Soudanese fever" if it exists, is another thing apparently. t nay be thai the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa is only 2 variation Of apopzexy brought or by indulgence in heating and stima lating foods.
