OTHER TRANSPORTS AVAILABLE

So far as the transportation SER
vice is concerned, there will be
no difficulty in the way of
forwarding additional troops from
Manila to the Chinese coast. The big
transport Warren, which has been
cruising in Southern Luzon Is due at
Manila on the first proximo and will
be available on that date for the trans
p%ortation of about 1000 troops. The
steamship Sherman is also due at Ma
Mia from San Francisco about July /.
This vessel could undoubtedly be en-
ployed in taking troops to China within
the next few weeks in case such a step
is found necessary.
In addition to these two large trans
ports, there are several smaller ones
used in the inter-island service, in
GLIDING the Pennsylvania and Indiana,
which could be utilized in the move
ment of troops to China in case of
necessity.
The Wal Department officials also
are seriously considering the advisa-
bility of changing the destination Of
the transport Grant from Manila to
Taku. She will carry two squadrons OF
the sixth cavalry, numbering about 800
men, and a battalion Of marines, num-
bering $50 men. These troops are now
being assembled at San Francisco, and
are scheduled to start for the east on
the first proximo. The Grant is a fast
ship and a make the trip to China in
Is or 30 days. The horses of the cav
airy troops are to be taken over on
transports from Portland, Oregon.

SISTERSVlLLE. W. Va, June 3D.
The news of a very romantic elopement
leaked out here this evening. after two
of the o popular and best known
young people had been married in
Pittsburg.
For some time John Kincaid, conf
Dental bookkeeper for the large oper-
ating firm OF Treat & Crawford, had
been paying attentions to the daughter
OF Mr.. Eph- Wells, Miss Blanche. On
account Of some opposition on the part
OF the young lady's relatives they were
parted for a time. The father took
the young lady on a trip through the
Southern States and even in Mexico.
remaining away from the city for the
best part of a yea in the hope that a
change of scene might break the in
fatuation to which he was so strongly
opposed. The old adage that absence
makes the heart grow fonder was ex-
empli1ed in this case. and they were
even more devoted to each other than
ever after the return of the young lady.
About this time there were ONE
words between Mr.. Wells and Mr.. Kin
caid and the latter was denied the
house but the ardor of the young peo-
pie did not cool. A short time & the
friends of the young people TO the
number of three or four were notified
that an elopement had been planned.
and their cooperation was asked. As
is always the case, this was freely
promised and from that time until last
evening the young lady friends of Miss
Wells assisted her to get her clothes out
Of the house, each OF them carrying
away some portion Of her wardrobe un-
I'll night before last everything was
in good shape, and the faithful friends
were notified that the affair would ONE
off to-day.
Yesterday Mr.. hincaid left Sisters
vile with the o~stensible purpose In
view OF visiting his former home In
Indiana, Pa. This morning a close
friend Of his left for Pittsburg, and on
the train which leaves here at two
o'clock, Miss Wells, accompanied By a
young lady friend, left for Pittsburg.
On the arrival OF the train In Pitts
burg the young people Immediately
drove 10 the home OF a mutual friend
In Allegheny, where the ceremony vas
performed.
The young people are now AZ the
Hotel Lincoln, where fully one hum
dred congratulatory kilograms hayo
been sent from this city.
Miss Wells left letters for her father
and other relatives which were de-
livered this evening. In them she told
them what she was about 70 do.
Mr.. Wells could not be approached In
regard n tha matter this evening hnki
a friend stated that while he felt badly
hurt over what had happened. yet IL
was likely that he would act the mag
unanimous parent he has always been
| and give the young people his blessing
| on their return.
Both of the young people are well
known in Wheeling and Parkersburg.
as well as in Western Pennsylvania.
and they have countless friends who
will rejoice with them in their happi-
ness.

relief of the Tien Tsin garrison force.
1t is doubtless conveying ammunition,
the absence of which adds so sensiD-y
TO the straits of the garrison. A late
message from Tien Tsin warns the re-
lieving force to beware Of Chinese am
buscades outside the town.
If the assurance of the Chinese min
lister at Berlin relative TO the safety or
Baron Won Kettler. the German min
lister at Pekin. can be credited, it will
tend materially to brighten the situa-
ton at the Chinese capital, as it leads
to the inference that the other lega-
tons are similarly safe.
A. appears from a telegram sent by
the German consul at Che-Fu that
Commander Lans, Of the Iltis. was
really wounded at the Taku fight, to-
gether with fourteen other Germans,
while seven were killed, including
Liuet. Hellmann. Probably Comman-
der Lans' telegram to his relatives at
Vessel meant that his condition was
satisfactory.

sion Of troops is proceeding Il China.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, June %
Charles Simpson, of this city, a brake
man on a Kanawha G. Michigan passen-
ger train, shot and wounded, probably
fatally, John Spangler, at Witcher's
Station, eight miles east of here, to-
day. Spangler and three other I'M
known men were on the train going
east. They were drunk and disorderly
and used very insulting language on
the train. Simpson tried to quiet them,
but they continued the disturbance till
finally they came to Witcher's Station,
when Spangler rushed up to Simpson
while he was helping some passengers
off, and struck him and knocked him
back against a coach. Simpson, who is
a one-armed man, drew a revolver and
shot Spangler in the left breast, the
ball entering just below the heart.
The other men drew revolvers, when
Conductor Nelson came to Simpsons
rescue, and both were ready to shoot.
The despefadoes wisely withdrew their
wounded comrade, and the train pro-
ceeded on it's way to Kanawha Falls.
Returning here this evening, Simpson
gave himself up to the officers and was
released on bond.

STEUBENWLLE, o., June 23.-Mrs.
Mary Fullen aged rs, and her daughter,
Mollie, aged 40 years, both about five
feet tall and each one not weighing ver
So pounds, showed their pluck and abil-
ity to protect their property last night
a second time when the S~teubenville,
Mingo and Ohio Valley Traction Com
pany attempted to work along the street
in front of the Fullen property in de-
fiance of a courts injunction. Mrs.
Fullen stopped work a few days age
by using a revolver. Last night a boss
and three linemen came along and at
tempted to string wire, and they would
have succeeded as no court officers
were there to stop them, but Mrs. Full
len and her daughter came out and
producing a revolver forced a colored
lineman to climb down off a pole. The
other men were then chased away. A
policeman, who came along and want
ed the revolver put away was told not
to mix in or he would get shot and he
retreated. The crowd that gathered
sided with the ONE and for a time
there was danger of a riot. A deputy
sheriff arrived in an hour and is on
guard to prevent work.

CAUSED EXPECTANCY.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Admiral
Kempff's dispatch stating that an en-

and that another was about TO occur
sent a thrill of expectancy throughout
official circles here. Other dispatches
had been received, giving additional de-
tail, but these were not made public,
as they did not shed light upon the en-
gagement itself, but more on the move
ments of forces. The official informa-
ton gave no clue, however, as TO the
extent of any casualties which have
been suffered by the American forces
engaged, and this was taken to indicate
that the loss was little or nothing in the
face OF such an i~lly-equipped foe.

with Messrs. Platt and Quay and added
that If there had been my fight it re-
suited in his favor. He felt sanguine,
he said, that New York would be car
ried by the Republicans. Mr.. Hanna
said that President Mckinley would
make no speeches except perhaps a few
brief talks to visiting delegations at
his home in Canton, where he will
spend his vacation. Governor Roose-
Welt, the Senator said, would take the
stump and deliver speeches. Mr..
Hanna said he had not decided wheth-
er the meeting of the national execu-
tive committee would be held in Cleve-
land or New York.

EANNA ON REPUBLICAN, PLANS.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June Ex-senator
Hanna, chairman of the Republican
national committee, was in the city
for a short time to-day, en- route from
Philadelphia to Cleveland, and talked
at length on the plans of the campaign.
Il have been assailed on every hand
by the question as to what States we
will win over from the Democrats"
said the Ohio Senator. "and would like
to tell the newspapers and would like
to have them tell everybody in the
country who is interested in the cam
paign, that the Grand Old Party this
year will go after its opponents wher-
ever they are found. No stronger ticket
was ever placed in the field. l would
not like to predict the majority that
will go to Mckinley and Roosevelt, and
l have not heard of Gen. Grosvenor
having any forecasts as to the result of
this campaign. However, we will car
ny Kentucky, Goebel law or no Goebel
law. California will vindicate itself.
Up in the northwest the Republicans
will have no difficulty in holding sway
There is no doubt as to the turn things
will take in the east"
Asked as to his opinion of the result
of the fight in Nebraska, the Senator re-
piled: I'VE will try hard to keep Bry-
ans State in the righteous column,
too"
1t will not be an extraordinarily ear
ly campaign. Senator Hanna stated
that very little would be done for sew
eral weeks, and seemed to imply that
the Republicans would wait on the
opening manoeuvres of the Democrats
before any active steps would be taken.
About August l. he said. the issue of
the campaign will be clearly defined
and the national managers will then be
heady to cooperate with the committees
in the various States. September /
will see the red fire burning and all the
drums will be beating before a fort
night later" was the Senator's comment
when questioned regarding the time of
the opening of the campaign.

that the engagement was with the
Chinese army caused solicitude among
the officials. for this was the first posi-

The anxiety over the situation at Pc
kin was somewhat active when the

the Chinese minister, Mr.. WI. stating
that he was advised by cable from the
viceroy OF Marking that the legations
at Pekin are safe. What means Of in
formation the viceroy OF Marking has.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Wm. J. Bryan,
bronzed like an Indian from his two
weeks outing in Wisconsin. arrived
in Chicago to-day and will leave for his
home in Lincoln, Neb, tonight. lie
will remain in Lincoln for an indefinite
period, and unless he changes his pres
ent plans will not attend the Kansas
City convention.
Col. Bryan to-day held conferences
with former Governor Altgeld, ex-Con-
gresham Hinrichson and other leaders
of the party in Illinois, during which
the political outlook was discussed in
a general way.
Col. Bryan said in regard to the Repub-
lican platform adopted at Philadelphia:
THE Republican platform Is the best
evidence thus far given of the deception
attempted by the Republican party.
Taken in connection with the speeches
made at the convention it shows that
the Republican party's platform of
1896 was a deliberate fraud as far as
the promises of international bimetal-
ism were concerned. that the party's
attitude on the trust question is IN
sincere and that the party is not willing
to state its attitude on the Philippine
question and invite the judgment of the
people. Nothing was more manifest in
the convention than the military spirit
and yet the convention did not dare en-
dorse the demand of the President in
1898, for a standing army of 10O,0 900
men
Col. Bryan declared that the reports of
serious differences between himself and
Chairman Jones were absolutely false.
