GEN. CHAFFEE
Preparing His Report on the
Campaign in China.
Fifty Innocent Chinese Coolies Killed
to Every Guilty Boxer.
Much Looting Until Proper Restraint Was
Placed on the Armies

Washington, June 3O.-The report of
Maj Gen. Chaffee on the campaign in
China is being prepared for publication
at the war department. General Chat
fee at one point says:
For about three weeks following the
arrival of the relief column at Pekin
the condition in and about the city and
along the line of communication was
bad. Looting of the city. uncontrolled
foraging in the surrounding country
and seizure by soldiers of everything
Chinaman might have, such as vege-
tables, eggs, chickens, sheep. cattle,
etc, whether being brought to the city
or found on the farm; indiscriminate
and generally unprovoked shooting Of
Chinese. in city. country and along the
line of march and the riyer-all this did
not tend, as was natural to gain for
the troops the condolences of the
masses with whom we had no quarrel
but were in need of their labor.
1T is safe to say that where one
real Boxer has been killed since the
capture of Pekin. SO harmless coolies
or laborers on farms. including not
few women and children, have been
slain. The Bower element is largely
mixed with the mass or population and
by Staying q lot. one or more Boxers
might be taken in
Gen. Chaffee said he was opposed to
entering the Forbidden city unless loot
ing was prohibited. This was agreed
to and he thinks but little looting was
done there. though articles have been
offered for sale said to have been taken

tiOnal Missionary Society, furnished

can Congregational mission as basis

HARMONY PREVAILS
In the Republican County Con-
ventiOn at Cleveland.
Senator Hanna Sounds the War Cry
for Campaign Of 1903.
Vim. J. Bryan Would Like 10 See Hanna Mex
Republican Candidate.

Cleveland, Ohio June 20.-IIarmony
prevailed at the Republican county
convention, today. Senator Hanna
made a strong speech in favor of peace
between the two factions Of the party.
Seldom has there been any cam
paign, he said. ''of such Importance as
last year. bearing upon questions of
such moment. and this year it is the
same. 1t will have great bearing on
the Presidents work. and should up
hold him. This year we electsa Legis-
lature to choose successor TO my
distinguished colleague, Senator For
aker, and we should be united to de-
mand that he be sent back. The Legis-
la ture that chooses his successor will
also re- district Ohio. and on this hangs
the fate of at least five of Ohio's con-
gressional delegation.
THE acts of the party in this cOun-
ty and state this fall are of import
ancc to the administration. It's acts
are to say to the administration that
he Republicans of this state uphold
the hands of the President by giving
him our aid to a majority in the next
House Of Representatives.
1T is needless TO tell what the Re-
publican party has done for the peO-
pie for the last two years. 1t is not
ns cessary for me to place Mckinley in
the first rank of Presidents. He
is not only President, but a fellow cit
izen and friend. If anything would
please him it would be that this talk
of harmony is not superficial. For
myself, such a wish comes from the
bottom Of my heart.
THE Republican party has hOnored
me beyond my merits. In 1890 l felt on
the turn of events hung the prosperity
and the success of our country. New
issues had been raised and many hon
est Republicans were led astray.
NO argument is so strong as an OBJ
ject lesson. The Republican party
prsrlised the country if Mckinley
were elected on the st. Louis platform
all promises of prosperity would be
| fulfilled. They We're fulfilled. The re-
| newed confidence of the people came
with the fulfilment. Let us give notice
to the opposition in Ohio and in the
United States that the Republican
| ranks are filling up and preparing for
the battle of 1903. Let this be the notice
to the state and the United States"
The nominations subsequently made
were pretty evenly divided between
the two factions of the party.
