ROME, Oct. IA telegram from
Tientsin reports that junk which ar

rison in most terrible straits. They are
suffering from the lack of the COM
monest necessities of life. There is in
tense suffering among all classes par
ticularly at the hospitals where the
wounded are in a wretched condition.
The most serious factor is the lessen
ing of the water supply. The opinion
is growing among town people that
the time has come when surrender
could be made without loss of honor.

WILL NOT FIGHT HIM
Sentiment for Senator Turner Is Strong
Large Vote Expected.


Seattle, Wash, Oct. Is M. Allen
| chairman of the populist state commit
tee, mas returned from an unsuccessful
mission to eastern Washington UNDER
taken for the purpose of organizing the
old line populists and directing an an
ti-Turner campaign. He was unable
to divert populists, who have deter
mined to vote for Turner and who
would not listen to any attacks upon
the democratic candidate.
After his trip to eastern Washington
will be given an overwhelming ma
jOrity in eastern Washington and will
come to the Cascades with such a lead
that his election will be insured. Mead
he believes is out of the fight already.
Mr.. Allen has discussed the result Of
his trip with his friends. Being a dis
appointment from a populist stand
point the head of the populist organiz-
alton is saying little of the mission for
public consumption.
Inspired by Republicans.
The populist attack on Senator Tur-
ner was inspired by republican leaders.
In fact. the convention was Influenced
by members of that party to take every
attitude that would lend strength to
the fight against the democratic state
= off ha
adjourned without having named a
state ticket it was figured by republic
can leaders that everything they de-
sired had been accomplished. The con-
vention was on record against Turner
and had no ticket of it's own.
1t is apparent from the result Of Mr.
Aliens visit to eastern Washington
that the old-line populists were quick
TO realize the manner in which their
convention had been jobbed. That the
platform adopted by the score of pop
ulists who met here did not represent
true populistic sentiments is indicated
by the solid support being accorded
Turner,
The old stronghods of the populists
are all located in eastern Washington
1t was in that section of the state that
trouble had to be created and it is there
that the republican fight is weakest
The desperate effort to counteract the
democratic fight was as quick TO rail-
as republicans were to job the populist
convention.
Lined Up SoIidIy for Turner.
Everywhere in eastern Washington
that Mr. Allen went he found the same
conditions existing Men who had pre-
viously taken an active part In the
ronu1ist organization were lined up SOL
idIv for Turner and were working ac-
tivelv for his election. He failed to in
terest the populistssin the plan repub-
,icans had engineered for revolt.
A Turner avalanche was revealed by
Mr. Aliens visit. That the Turner sem
timent is overwhelming Is appreciated
by the older party organizations ana
the populist effort at organization
s,ou,s the members of that party the
hopelessness of their anti-Turner nght
in the clearest possible manner. so 1ar
90 tho nonulist state fight is concerned
tne effort of the leaders to injure Tur-
nor has COLLAPSED.
