Paris. Aug. 10-Socialistic town councils

bldden priests to appear in the streets in
ecclesiastical dress and have ordered all
crucifxes to be removed from schools and

The order is causing excitement. and is
likely to cause much bad feeling. The let
ter of the law is on the side of the coun-
cils, as priests are not theoretically allowed

REPCRLLC SPECIAL

REP CRTIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Aug. 1o.-Apprehension Exists
that the landing of British troops at Shang-
hal will be followed by the landing Of for-
eign troops at other points and 1t is admit
ted that unless the American Government
protests in the case OF the London Govern
ment it will have no good ground for OBJ
tecting to the same action being taken by
others.
The authorities appreciate that the Chi
nese situation is entering upon most dan
gerous phase. and It is violating no con-
fidence to say that they wish the United
States were we'll out of 1t.
Presumably. the action of the British
Government in landing troops at Shanghai
was taken IN compliance with the sugses-
tion of the Viceroy of the Province of XII
ang-Su.
This presumption Is based on cable
gram, which IS understood to have been re-
ceived at the Navy Department to-day from
q high naval officer OF the American Navy
now stationed at Shanghai His message
does not announce that the British troops
have been landed. but he states that 1t is
the intention Of Vice Admiral Seymour to
land $3.50 men at that port for the defense
of the foreign settlements and the city This
action was determined upon as Il result OF
a conference, which occurred between Vice
Admiral Seymour and the Viceroy of the
Province
Should stop Other Powers.
The message further states that the Brit
ish papers published in Shanghai are edI-
torially suggesting that the British Gov
other Powers at that point. The dispatch
adds that the Princeton is al Woo-Sung.
No explanation Of her action has been
made by Great Britain to the United States
and UP to this moment no representations
have been made by the State Department to-
the London Government. The best infor-
nation in the possession Of the department
does not indicate that dangerous condi-
ton of affairs exists at Shanghai and the
belief Of the administration that quiet pre-
walls and will be preserved is shown by the
fact that no orders have been given to COM
mander Bowman, commanding the Castne
now at Shanghai, to land marines. and none
have been cabled on the subject to Admiral
Remey.
Rear Admiral Kempff went to Nagasaki
to-day. and it Is expected that from that
point he will proceed to Shanghai. 1t is
stated however. that Admiral Remey will
determine the port to which his subordinate
flag officer will go.
AS far as can be learned. none of the
Governments of Europe has up TO this time
made any representations relative to the
landing Of British troops at Shanghai
FRENCH TO LAND TROOPS.
London, Aug. 10.-The French Consul at
Shanghai says that 5000 Annamite troops
will arrive there next week for the protec-
ton of the French settlement.
The Chinese merchants OF Shanghai have
petitioned the foreign Consuls there to pre-
vent the landing of troops, declaring that it
will create a panic among the Chinese.

THIRD PARTY CONVENTION
Delegates Begin To Arrive They Hope to
Unite With The Anti-Imperialists.
(By the Associated Press. J


indianapolis, Ind, August 13.-Dele-
gates to the convention of the National
or Third Party ticket, are beginning to
arrive. This party originated at the
time of the meeting of the Gold Demo-
cratic committee in this city. At that
time there was a committee of eleven
sent there to confer with the Gold COM
mittee and urge it to recommend the nom
ination of a third ticket. Failing in this
they issue a call for a National conven-
ton to be held in this city August 14th
and 18th. Previous to this the Anti
lmperialists had issued call for a COM
vention to be held in this city August
10th and 18th. The members of the Ma
tional party hope to form an alliance
with the Anti-Imperialists and they hope
that the Anti-Imperialists will endorse
the ticket they nominate.
Louis r. Enrich, of Colorado Springs
Colo, will be the presiding officer of the
convention and Isaac X. Klein, of New
York, will be secretary.

dent and Vice President upon a platform
substantially as follows:
The Democratic party is conducting
a direct attack upon the institutions of
our country. 1t advocates dishonest
money and threatens the integrity of the
judiciary.
The Republican party is conducting
an Indirect attack upon the institutions
of our country. At home it corrupts
the public morals by selling public offices
and special privilege to the highest
contributors to party assets; abroad it
wages wicked war of conquest in vio-
lation of the principles of the Declaration
of Independence.
:" No man serves we'll his country who
joins in either of these attacks. Party
to neither, therefore, but opponents of
both, we pledge our honest efforts to the
following ends:

"A single gold standard and
sound banking system
S.--The abolition of all special privi-
1eges.

(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, August 13-Copies of Ma
Mia papers received at the War Depart
ment contain a letter purporting to be
from a personal friend of Aguinaldo
which states that the Filipino chief does
not take advantage of the amnesty proc
lamation because some time ago he gave
orders to his followers to break up into
guerilla, bands. The amnesty order ex
cepts those who violated the laws of war,
and it is said that Aguinaldo fears that
he would be in the excepted class should
he undertake to surrender under the am
nesty proclamation. The letter is dated
at Bias No Bato, which is said to be the
present headquarters of Aguinaldo, 1t
states, however, that Aguinaldo never
stays more than one night in place and
only few hours in any one location. He
allows no one to come near him except
his most intimate personal friends.
