TO REDUCE REPRESENTATION
ACTION TAKEN YESTERDAY Is
AIMED AT THE SOUTHERN
STATES


Philadelphia. June 16--At the meet
Ing of the Republican National Com
mittee to-day the following resolution
was introduced by Henry T.. Tiepke. OF
Rhode Island:
Whereas. the representation in Con-
greSS now accorded to the several
States of the Union on the basis of
Article XIV. section ,, of the Constitu-
tion, ought to be modified SO that in
every State wherein the right to vote is
denied to any of the male inhabitants
thereof being Il years of age and citi-
ZenS of the Unitd States. or Wherein
said right is i'll any way abridged ex-
ceDt for participation in rebellion or
other crimes, representation in Con-
gress and in the Electoral College
should be reduced in the proportion
which the number of male citizens so
deprived of the right of suffrage shall
bear to the whole number of male c!ti-
zens 81 years of age in said States;
therefore.
"Resolved. That the Republican Ma
tional Committee recommended that if
the Republican party is continued in
control OF Congress it invoke and eX-
erclse the power of Congress granted
by Article XIV, Section 5, to enforce
by appropriate legislation the objects
of this resolution"
This resolution called forth some de-
pate, WHICH Was III Dy
Senators Hanna, Scott and others.
Both Senators Hanna and Scott ex-
pressed sympathy with the purpose of
the resolution, but said that they were
of the opinion that the question was
one for the National Convention Itself
and not for the committee. The res
olution was laid upon the table by a
vote of "a to 10.
Another resolution, practically in the
language of the Payne resolution of
some years ago, concerning the repre-
sentation in the National Convention
was presented by Mr.. Cummins, of
Iowa. The resolution provided for
representation on the basis of Repub-
lican votes cast. The resolution was
sharply attacked because of its effect
upon the Southern States, where the
Republican vote is comparatively
small and after n short discussion
was withdrawn by its author.

John 5. Wise appeared for Libbey

ton in bitter terms. growing quite per-
sonal in his reference TO Mr.. Bowden.
He charged him with a desire only to
control the patronage without reference
to party success, saying that Bowden
had himself voted the Democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Bowden contradicted in vigorous
language Mr.. Wise's claim 10 regularity.
saying that he and Holland had been
elected almost two months before they
heard of the pretensions of Libbey and
Martin. He claimed that the conven
ton at which they were nominated was
called by the regularly appointed dis
trct chairman, and that it was fully
Endorsed by the State Committee.

THE PRESENT CRISIS IN CHINA
THE GRAVEST THAT HAS
YET OCCURRED
Copyright. 1900. by Associated Press

Copyright, 1900, by Associated Prcss)
Paris. June 16.--News of fighting be-
tween the European troops and the
Boxers has enhanced the interest in
the situation in China, which is form
ing the leading feature of all the news
papers. The diplomatic world is ma
turally very much stirred, especially
owing to the contradictory reports re-
garding the attitude taken by the
Empress DoWager. Even the Japa-
neae and the Chinese legations appear
doubtful us to the exact conditions of
affairs.
AT the Chinese legation considerable
uneasiness prevails. The explanation
given by the officials there is that the
Boxers are simply outlaws, who receive
no countensincc from the government
and are illtreatiug their own country
men as we'll as foreigners. Members OF
the legation whose constant Intercourse
with Europeans has brought them more
into line with the Western ideas, admit
guardedly that the general si.uaticn in
China is hardly satisfactory, and there
is room there for beneficial reforms
but they are far from pleased at The re-
cent Developments, which have given
Russia an opportunity 10 play what
will probably eventually become n pre-
dominating part in the much feared
European intervention.
VERY GRAVE CRISIS.
\ man who is entitled to speak with
authority on Chinese matters. NJ. Ga
briclle Lamare. for eight years French
Minister at Pekin, expresses Il pessi-
mistic feeling regarding the extension
of the anti-foreign movement. For
Europeans" says NJ. Lamaierc, the
present crisis Is the graVest that has
yet occurred. III appears to me that
the Dowager Empress at the present
moment is entirely under the influence
of q powerful coalition of litterateurs,
comprising all the influential manda-
rims at court, who feel that their
former omnipotence has been shaken
by the invasion of the products of
Western science. such as the tele-
graph and railroad. This coalition has
frightened the Empress by dwelling on
the Importance of the concessions
made TO foreigners as threatening the
integrity of the empire.
The present movement is 4 veritable
crusade against Western civilization, in
which the Dowager Empress is an ac-
complete. The Boxers are the tool which
is being used against foreigners-to be
repudiated should matters not result as
it is hoped they will. The return of the
Dowager Empress and court TO Pekin
from the summer palace signifies that
the Empress and her court are afraid
the Boxers will turn against them when
they find themselves abandoned by the
Empress.

LONDON, April 12.--The British gov.
ernment, The Associated Press is offici-
ally informed, stands ready to take the
part Of Portugal in case the Beers at
tempt reprisals, but SO far Portugal has
not applied for British aid nor has she
replied to the Boer notification. With
Great Britain at her back, it is said she
will not give in in the slightest in main.
tanning that the transactions at Beira
are fully justified by the long standing
treaties between Great Britain and Por-
tugal.
While the situation is admitted to be
grave, the foreign Office is not inclined
to believe that the Beers will take ag-
gressive action. The consensus Of opin-
ion is that should the Beers attempt
reprisals it would react to the advant-
age Of Great Britain, enabling her to
use Delagoa bay freely.

MUCH BLAME
LAID UPON MILNER

Boer Commissi ,ners Charge Him With
Deliberately Bringing on War and
Falsifying Dispatches.
ROME, April 12.-The Naples CORES
pondent of The Tribuna telegraphs an
interview he has had with Mr.. Fischer,
one of the Boer peace commissioners.
Mr.. Fischer said he was convinced
that Sir Alfred Miner, when appointed
governor of Cape Colony and British
high commissioner in South Africa,
went to Cape Town with a fixed inten-
tion, with u mission, to bring about the
war, and this was proved by the fact
that Miner had Systematically opposed
the Transvaal's generous efforts and
concessions to avoid war;" as though he
had received precise instructions to fol-
low this line of policy.
"While the Transvaal was making
concessions, said Mr.. Fischer, "Great
Britain was gathering troops along the
frontier"
The Boer envoy accuses Sir Alfred
Miner of falsifying dispatches. In
fact, according to the commissioners, ac-
cusations against Sir Alfred Miner con-
stitute one Of the principal features in
the peace negotiations which the COM
missioners seek to carry through. The
Boer ENJOYS left Naples. going by way
Of the st. Gothard pass and without
