Admiral Ke,mpR Acting with the For
e!g" Powers.
Washington, June 22.-The navy
department. has given out the following
statement regarding the contents OF
dispatch from Admiral Kempff. brought
from Taku to Che Foo. and forwarded
by Commander Taussig, Of the York.
town:
1.-THE department has received ca.
blegram from Admiral kempff, dated
June 20. lie says the Taku forts were
captured by the foreign forces and that
heavy firing was heard ut Tien Tsin the
evening OF the 18th inst. He is max.
ing common cause with the foreign
powers for the general protection. There
are 800 Americans ashore. May 81
the number OF foreign troops at Pekin
was 43O. There are 5000 men ashore
now at Che Foo. and about 5000
troops-Russian, German and English
have just arrived"
The expected cablegram from Com.
mander Taussig WAS received at the
navy department this afternoon.
Acting Secretary Hackett did not
feel at liberty to make it public until
he had had an opportunity to confer with
the president. 1t Is known, however,
that the message had no reference to
the reported entry OF Admiral Sey.
mour's expedition to Pekin.
Secretaries Hay and Root. First Sec.
retaries Meiklejohn and Hackett and
Admiral Crowninshield, had a long
conference with the president today.
On leaving the White House they
stated that nothing had been heard
from Pekin, and that the conference
was on the subject OF how communca-
ton with Minister Conger could be
secured at the earlist possible moment.
They declined. however, to say what
confusion had been reached. or to dis.
cuss the matter further. There is no
doubt that the officials here regard the
Chinese situation as very critical, and
that more vigorous measures than any
hitherto contemplated are under con.
sideration.

GOLD FROM kLONDikE.
Eighty-Nve Passengers Bring Out About
100000 In Dust.

Eighty-Nve Passengers Bring Out About
100000 In Dust.
The steamer Dirigo has arrived at
Seattle from Lynn Canal, having on
board IS passengers. who brought about
$500, 900 in gold dust. The steamers
officers report 100 passengers at Bennett
who were unable to reach Skagway in
time to catch the Dirigo. These, it is
reported at the Skagway Offices OF the
steamship company, are bringing out a
very large amount of gold, greater. it
is said, than any party Of similar size
that has yet arrived.
The largest owners OF gold dust ON
board the Dirigo were the Mcdonald
brothers, OF Seattle. Rolly and Donald.
The former has 23O pounds. valued at
$50, 900, and the latter 14O pounds,
valued ut $50, 900. Charles Hutchin.
sou brought out 200 pounds, valued at
$4,000. The remainder Of the ship.
ment is owned by the remaining pas.
sengers in sums ranging from $5, OOO
up.
The passengers al declare that this
summers output from the Klondlks
will be much larger than last, and esti.
mates are made all the way from 500.
600, 900 to $40, 900. 900. As yet they
say the cleanup has not started this
way, and probably will not until after
July Is.
The latest advices from the gold bear.
ing districts remote from Dawson, it is
said, show that Che cleanup ia almost
double the amount first reported. Bo.
nanza creek alone. it IL stated, will
send out $8,OOO,OOO to $4,000, 900.
which will he the largest amount com.
ing from any OF the creeks.
The Dawson banks, it is said, have
taken up about 100000 already,
and when the Dirigo's passengers left,
were buying very heavily every day.
In the city of Dawson business was
very lively. There was no scarcity OF
labor to speak of, although every man
who wanted work was working at good
wages. Food prices were beginning
to drop. and the general belief was that
before another month Seattle prices fol
ordinary commodities would prevail.

Calling the Roll.


Then the roll OF states was called
and delegation after delegation rose in
solid blocks and cast their votes for
Mckinley. When Chairman Lodge
made the announcement that the presi.
dent had been renominated for the term
beginning March 4, 1901, there was
the same wild storm which had been
raised by Foraker, and when it was
over Roosevelt's nomination for the
e.presidency evoked a succession Of
similar demonstrations
LATE Young, who was with Roosevelt

the state which had originally came to
Philadelphia for Dolliver. His nom.
ination was seconded by Delegate Muir.
lay. OF Secretary Longs state, and Del.
egate Ashton, of Washington, who
came here for Bartlett Trip. sChaun-
cey Depew wound up the oratory ON
behalf of the state which declared for
Woodruff. Depew's speech aroused
the most dazzling dreams OF the coun.
try's future. During every pause, the
band played but one air, the tune
which Colonel Roosevelt had heard in
the trenches before Santiago.
At 2:l4 clock the convention, which
had done the unparalleled thing Of
nominating both the candidates for
president and vice-president unani.
mously, adjourned.
Governor Roosevelt drove from the
convention hall with MIR. Odell, seated
in the rear of an open landau. He
lifted his broad.brimed hat to the con.
tinuous salvos that greeted him as he
passed through the densely packed
street, like conquering hero fresh
from new victories. Tonight the faces
OF Mckinley and Roosevelt are on all
the badges, and their names are on
every lin,

There was fine setting for today's
spectacular drama. Bright peonies at
either end OF the stage made two fam.
my bits OF color. Throughout the vast
multitude fans moved ceaselessly to
and fro like the wings OF crowd of
alarmed gulls beating the air. There
were no preliminaries. The wrangle
expected over the question of reducing
the representation in the South was
sverted by the withdrawal Of ex.Sen.
ator Quay's proposition. The great
hall became quiet as Senator Lodge,
standing before $4,000 eager faces,
gavel in hand, announced that nomina.

were in order. The reading clerk al.

At the end of a half hours speech,
the senator placed Mckinley in nom.

Seconding speeches were made by

Since the democratic days of 1894
there has been an increase of ?, 100, 547
bank depositors in whole United States.
This number more people have had
money to deposit during Mckinley
prosperity. The total amount of money
deposited 10 the credit Of the people was
s.. s74. $50, 406 in 1894. In 1890 it was
81, sos, 096, 0O5, showing an increase OF
almost one and three-quarter billions Of
doll.ls to the credit of the people who
had bank accounts in the five years since
the country was suffering the agonies
of democratic administration. Not
only has there been this vast increase in
the aggregate amount o. money placed
in the hanks, but the average amount of
each bank account has increased from
$500 in 1894, 10 an average of 5000 per
bank account in 1899 Who viii say
that the promises of the republican
party have not been falhlledI Who will
say that the advance agent of prosperity
mas not visited the American people
under the republican administration of

the bank accounts are very largely those
of farmers. We have no doubt that il

PRIMARY ELECTION AT MINNEAPOLIS.

Lacrosse Chronicle: The primary
election law for Minneapolis, passed in
Minnesota at the last session of the state
Legislature. was given a practical test
for the first time Tuesday in the selec-
ton of nominees for city and county
offices. The law as passed was sort OF
experiment; for the bill as drawn covers
Minneapolis alone. That the new law
is popular as far as Minnesotas metropo-
lis is concerned is not to be denied, for
the total vote in the elections of 1898 in
Hennepin county was exceeded in the
primary election.
The law permits voter, on the 1rst
day of registration, to vote directly for
candidates for nomination by his'party,
under all the protection of the secret
ballot. the number of candidates being
limited to those who have filed petition
with the auditor, signed by at least five
percent of the voters of his party who
voted at the preceding election. He ex-
presses his choice upon an official ballot
and the returns are tabulated aud the
