BIG WAR VERY PROBABLE
WHAT COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF
OUR ARMY THINKS.
Now Claimed That Peking Legations
M'srepresented Their Danger Before
Relief Came-Situation in Annoy.

CHICAGO, August 31.-General Miles
regards it as quite possible that a gen.
eral conflict of the powers may result
from the conflicting interests in China.
II don't believe that the acute stage
of the Chinese crisis has passed" said
the general. Il believe that it is possi-
BILE that the conflicting interests of the
powers will yet bring on a general con-
fiict, which will involve all the civilized
powers in the greatest war of modern
times. The danger arises from the
chance that some of the powers will at
tempt the dismemberment of the Chi
nese empire. If the United States and
Russia succeed in acting in harmony
along the lines of the reported agree
ment proposed between them it may re-
suit in a peaceful outcome from the
present sitaution.
II believe that an attempt to parti-
ton China would result in a conflict
between the powers. l am sure that
the United States would have sufficient
cause to fight. SO far as l can see, the
most hopeful indication is the chance
that Russia and, the United States will
agree to act together. There is to my
mind, every reason to believe that Rus
sia is acting in good faith. Russia has
more to gain by the preservation of the
integrity of the Chinese empire than
she has by the policy of disruption. She
has spent vast sums of money in the
construction of the trans-Siberian rail-
road the greatest enterprise of mod
ern times"
SITUATION WAS EXAGGERATED.
TAKU, August 2S (via Shanghai,
August S0.)-An intercepted letter writ
ten by the Viceroy at Pao Ting Flu,
/ who commended at Tientsin reports
! that the Taotai of the city of Tsung
Chow, on the canal, invited 1000 Boxers
to a feast, and that while the Boxers
were eating and their weapons were
stacked the imperial soldiers, by his
orders, fell upon them and slaughtered
all of them.
There is much recrimination between
! the foreigners besieged in Picking and
! the members of the relieving force.
officers say that the besieged sent out
alarmist reports and that the condition
of the foreigners was never one of such
extremity as the official dispatches
represented. The foreigners, they as
sert, could have resisted indefinitely
The besieged accused the Generals OF
timidity and of eXaggerating the Chi
nese opposition. They think a much
smaller army might have made the
march ard relieved them weeks sooner
The looting at Peking proceeds indus
triously and openly. The officers OF
every nations except America ignore
the order against looting.

DUPLICITY OF RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, September l.
Official dispatches confirm the report Of
the occupation of Tsitsikar, which
leaves only Moukden to be captured in
order to place the whole of Manchuria
in Russian possession. Apparently
there is no intention to relax that hold.

THE WAR CRY OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Chairman Jones Declares It Will be Anti.
Imperialism.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, July 10.-Senator ]. K. Jones,
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee; j. G. Johnson, Chairman Of
the Executive Committee; Charles A.
Walsh National Secretary; National
Committeeman D. J. Campau; Senator
White, of California, and j. Hamilton
Lewis, of Washington, arrived here to-
day from Lincoln, Neb. Senator Jones
will remain here to direct the campaign.
1.-THE Democrats made free silver the
issue in 1896" declared the Senator, 'and
they will make anti-imperialism the is
sue in the coming campaign. The Repub-
licans may try to make other questions
paramount so as to keep Imperialism
and trusts in the background, but we will
not allow them to do So"
Twill Mr.. Bryan make such a cam
paign as he did four years ago?'
MY own idea is that he should not. 1t
is toog reat task to demand of one man
that he should make so many, and such
extensive trips as did Mr.. Bryan four
years ago. He will probably make sever
al trips, covering important points"

pie of this city and State for their very
cordial approval of my nomination. Four
years ago the State gave me about $4,000
plurality and on three occasions since
that time the people of Nebraska de-
clared adherence to the political principles
for which l have been contending. l am
not vain enough to believe that this
support is meant as personal compli-
ment. l accept it as an evidence of their
steadfast devotion to the principles to
which l have been welded. We enter
this campaign under conditions far more
favorable to success than those which
surrounded us in 1896. But whether we
win this year or not, the fight must be
continued until organized wealth ceases
to control the affairs of the nation and
it becomes again nation of the people.
II do not care to enter at the present
time upon a discussion Of the issues
presented by the platform adopted at
Kansas City. / can say, however, that 1t
is in the history of the country. 1t is a
greater platform than the Chicago plat
form, for it endorses the principles set
forth in that platform and in addition
thereto presents the party's position upon
several new and vital questions. There is
no evasion about the platform, no am
biguity, and no double dealing. 1t is as
clear as the tones of a bell, as clear as
the tones of liberty bell. 1t deals hon
estly with the American people. It's can
didates are pledged to it's maintenance.
when the convention came to the Sc
lection of candidate for Vice President
there was diversity of opinipn. Some
preferred an Eastern candidate, believing
that he would strengthen the ticket in
the East. Some preferred Mr.. Towne,
knowing of the sacrifice which he made
for principle and of his devotion to the
principles set forth in the Chicago plat
form. But the choice fell upon dis
tinguished Illinois Democrat who once
discharged with great credit the duties
of the office. In the campaign of 1885,
when plutooracy and Democracy met face
to face Adlai E. Stevenson was an able
and courageous defender of the cause of
Democracy. During the campaign he
spoke in seven of the close States
''I know that some of our allies felt
grieved that they were not given the
second place upon the ticket, but | am
sure that they cannot feel unkindly to-
ward one who, like Mr.. Stevenson, was
loyal to the ticket nominated at Chicago,
and who is able to defend the magnificent
party creed set forth at Kansas City
''In this campaign issues are greater
than men. l shall not ask any one to
vote our ticket merely because it's the
ticket of the party. 1t deserves support
because it stands for the declaration of
independence in dealing with the Philip
pines and for the doctrine of equal rights
for all and special privileges for none
in all domestic questions"
General James B. Weaver also spoke
at some length, outlining the work to be
done by the Democratic, Silver Republican
and Populist parties, and appealing for
harmony for the common cause. He also
paid tribute to Mr. Stevenson's record in
Congress.
