Office that there are now $40 foreign SOL
diers in Tien Tsn. OF the 1,5GO now on

Admiral Kempff also reports the arrival

Minister Conger was heard from again
this morning TO the effect that the pao
Ting E-u missionaries are safe up to the
present; that the Chinese government has
sent troops there and promises ample pro-
lection to the mission, though 1t is not
thought that this protection will insure
permanent safety According to Mr. Con-
ger, it is impossible at this moment TO
send any foreign forces from Pekin to Pao
Ting Flu.
Mr. Conger's doubt as to the pernanency
OF the Chinese ability TO protect the mis-
sions is in line with his previous express
sions of opinions, indicating a belief in his
mind that the few Chinese generals. who
are disposed to protect the foreigners. are
to be overcome by the element at Chinese
court which is favorable to the Boxers.
The attitude of the United States respect
ing the Boxer troubles having been misre-
presented in certain papers, ii can be
stated authoritatively that up to this point
not the first step has been taken toward
sending any troops from General NacAr-
thurs army IN the Philippines to China.
It was decided last week ttlat none OF the
troops could be spared. if wanted. and that
none would be spared, even if they could
be. for such a purpose in the present as
pect OF the Chinese trouble
Mr.. Conger asked for further instruc-
tions, and was directed to proceed with
energy in the protection of the American
legation, and the lives Of the American
citizens in China. He was warned. how
ever, not to be a party to any alliance or
commission of groups of powers. He was
to act Independently whenever this was
practical, although he was not forbidden
to take concurrent >action with other dilo-
mats Representatives. He was to do moth
ing to commit the United States in its
future action. The traditional policy OF
the United States in this respect was to
be rigidly observed.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 1.-THE Demo

There is much talk of Bryan and Dewey
being nominated at Kansas City on the

Bryan and Dewey as the coming men Tor
the national ticket, there Is one man
wanted here above all others, and tAa'
man is John r. Mclean, The last Demo
cratic candidate for Governor and the ac-
kuowIedged leader OF the Ohio Democra-
cy. But all telegraphic calls for Mclean
fail 10 get a favorable response He has
announced that he must sail for Europe
with his family next Saturday morning
from New York, and that he cannot attend
the convention in Columbus this week He
says Furthermore that he cannot return
in time TO attend the National Conven-
ton in Kansas City, three weeks hence
He would be placed at the head OF the
Ohio delegation to Kansas City II he
would give q single word of consent, but
he declines absolutely. AS he is brother
In-law of Admiral Dts-ey. his friends say
that ne does not want to appear in the
role of family preferences. but they insist
that if Admiral Dewey is put on the
ticket with Bryan without his personal ef-
forts, that he will return from Europe at
once and devote himself exclusively to the
campaign in the interest of Bryan and
Dewey.
All who are agitatins Bryan and Dewey
as the ticket think there is no doubt about
the Admiral accepting. There is diver
sity of opinion whether this convention
should take the steps in endorsing Dewey
as we'll as Bryan on the national ticket.
