It la und.-rntond that hla fail ure to .Jo o I from a desire to hold together Ids supporters In the hope that th.-lr unit"'! strength will go to some other candidate and against Governor Uog",n, Today Clovirtmr Rogers denied to be the leading candidate and hi support rs and manager any they are salla-fi-d that he will be nominated. Tonight, however, the opposition to the Ilng-rs' slate s.-eni to be unit ing on Voorhee. lie Is opposed by Senator Turner, but seems to be In high favor elsewhere. It I almost conceded that Governor n.igers has a majority of the Demo cratic convention.

CHE FOO, Aug. 24 (Friday).-It Is rumored on good authority that Russia, Germany and Japan have declared war en China and Invite England and the nlted States to retire. LONDON, Aug. 26.The only news of the ninht from China cornea via Merlin, where official dispatch? have been received dated Taku, Aug. 23, reporting on authority that an undated RusHian Pekin telegram received Wed nesday last says that large masaes of Poxer are sllll In the southern purt of the capital and that a force of troops under f'rince Chlng Is In the Imperial city. - According to a special dispatch from Derlln, the German foreign office con siders the Idea of an International con ference as premature, and desires the allied commanders to exercise control In Pekln and the occupied port of China until Count Wallersee shall have an.-umed command and have time to report concerning the situation. . WASHINGTON. Aug. 23. The diplo macy feature of the Chinese situation today took precedence over both the naval and the military features. The official of the government were If anything more uncommunlcatlvi than heretofore as to the relations b' tween the powers. It was stated au thorltatlvely that no news of Import ance had been received and that the diplomatic negotiations could not be made public. The mopt unsatisfactory development of the day. so far as the pacific pro gram of this government goes, was the receipt of a dispatch from Admiral Re mey. conveying reports which had reached him of a disagreement between the commander of the Russian forces In Pekln and the other nations. The text of this dispatch was not made public, but It was said on good authority to contain the statement that the Russian commander had forbidden communication wlih the Chinese on the ground that Russia was technically as well as practically at war with Chi na. It may be said that the Informa tion was not conveyed by Admiral Re mey as official news, but merely as a report from a reliable source, which he considers this government should possess for Its own Information. Assuming Admiral Remey's report to be correct, this move on the part of Russia strikes the first note of discord In the heretofore harmonious concert of the powers. The possibility of fu ture complications that It opens would be serious. It may be said however ithat the news Is not taken very serious ly by this government and certainly will not alter our course In any way until It has been officially confirmed. It was explained that the situation growing cut of the joint occupation of Tekln by the powers was delicate al though net necessarily to be described as serious. The Interests of all the powers there represented were at' least oomnetltlve. If r.ot antagonistic, and an 111 considered move on the part of any one government might easily entail dis agreeable consequences In which all would be more or less involved. bU.NDON. Aug. 2o.-The policy of the United States towards China Is watched here with more Interest than Is that of any other country, for Eng lishmen believe somehow or other that In the troubles ahead America will be the only power with Interests par allel to theirs. LONDON. Aug. 23. A special from Shanghai says: "Viceroy Chang Chlh Tung declares he will resist the attempt to extort territory or to Interfere with the arm ies of the various viceroys. 'It Is stated here that It was Prince Turn and not Prince Tuan who was captured by the Japanese." NEW VORIC, Aug. 23. A epeclal to the Herald from Washington says: Major-General Chaffee has recom mended that the United States troops now In China be withdrawn so soon as all the Americans in Pekln have reach ed places of safety. His cable advising this, and accum ulating evidences of lack of harmony among the powers were the main sub ject of discussion at Friday' cabinet meeting. The prjsident and all the member of the administration are anx ious to gi t the troop, out of China at the earliest possible date, but It can bj said on authority that there will be no Irimedlate withdrawal of American forces unlet) there Is an Immediate change In condition. There is a dispoltion In administration circle to tellve that General Chaffee' recommendation was bas.-d on mili tary cnnlderatlons alone, and that he did not take political consideration in to account wh?n making It. though there Is reason ti think that hi dis patch wa sent after consultation with Minister Conger. Th- withdrawal jf American troop will be considered permissible when the restoration of ordjr and obtaining those guarantee for the protection of American life and property, contem plated by Secretary Hay's note of July 3, car. proceed without their preence. The withdrawal of the troop will be required if, through the declaration of war against China by one or more of the powers, a condition should arise which would temporarily at leaflt In terfere with the accomplishment of the objects which the United State had In view In cooperating with other na tion. NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-A dispatch to the Tribure from London says: The rpr.rt telegraphed from Wah Ington that Germany Is preparing to make San FranoUo a base of supplies, with a vlw to sending a very powerful army to China, ha attracted consider able attention. Your correspondent has mads Inquiries on the subject In ship ping circles and fin Is that German or ders for stores and provisions are suffi clently extensive to lend probability to this rtimcr. It certainly would not surprise the diplomat!;: authorities here If the German force should eventually reach a total of 40.000 or 30.000. Some Importance may possibly be-attached to the meeting which the Prince of Wales had with the German empe ror yesterday. The prince. In company with the Duks of Cambridge, who it will be remembered preceded Lord Wolseley as commander-in-chief of the British army, drove from Homburg to Castle Friederichad-jrp to meet the em peror and empress and Empress Fred erick. Subsequently the emperor ac companied the prince and duke back to Homburg and had a long private con versation with them at their hotel. It is commnly understood that, the British heir apparent does not Inter fere In political matters, and In a gen eral way this Is true, bui in their for eign policies there is a good deal of private communication between the English and German courts and It is extremely likely that the kaiser and his uncle discussed the outline of a Chin ese policy which may be pursued by their respective empires. On more than one previous occasion the prince has been employed as a kind of digni fied anc" superior foreign office messen ;er. able to say to the German emperor what could not be conveniently con veyed through ordinary diplomatic channels. In the pres?nt crisis Lord Salisbury may have induced the Il lustrious tourist o take advantage of his visit to Homburg to point out to his Imperial relative that unnecessarily agjrreslve or violent action In China would be extremely distasteful to Great Rritf.ln. The German emperor has views ahout the alleged "yellow dan ger" which have never been shared by the English premier. The continued absence of direct tele graphic news from Pekln during the last few days, togsther with reports of further flghilng near Tien Tsln, is causing some anxKy. It Is not, how ever, thought that the allied contin gents can have any real difficulty In clearing their line of communications even If the Chinese should have gath ered In force In their rear. What Is In reality more disturbing Is (he state of affairs In the central and southern provinces. Hong Kong telegrams re ceived here yesterday were disquiet ing. There Is no doubt that serious rioting has occurred In Foo Kien and Klang Se province where the missions have been attacked and plundered. The disorder at Swatow has also been grave and a French gunboat landed a body of blue jackets and marines to protect missions, while the Japanese have been patrolling at Amoy. It would almort seem as If an nllieJ force would be re quired In every one of the treaty ports. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. The large base hospital that was projected by the governmsnt at Nagasaki, Japan, has been abandoned, and the wounded and sick from China who would have gone there will be brought directly here and treated In the general hospital at the Presidio. The physicians, nurses and others ordered to Nagasaki will re main here for the present. .'.he labjr council of this city has strongly protested against the employ ment of Chinese crews on transports. The balance f light battery M. Sev enth artillery, commanded by Captain M. M. Macomb and Lieutenant W. J. Snow. A. S. Conklln and J. P. Hopkins, has arrived from Washington barracks. OAKLAND. Calif., Aug. 23.-In a lecture on the situation In China, deliv ered here, Consul-General Ho Yo said: 'Recent advices Inform me thnt the United tntes will keep troops in China. I hope It will not be so. There will be great danger In such a course. I f.ar wh.n it Is known that the Chinese capl'al I in the hands of fnr- i:neu tlu-re will be a terrible up rising all over China. The Chinese will rise In a body and It will take much money and many live to ultimately uppress them. "Would your Christ wish you to ad- van?e religion at he acrince of mll- lom of Uvea?" ENGLAND EXPECTS WAR WITH FRANCE Entire British Naval Reserve Put in Commission. CHANNEL TO BE PATROLLED Active French Military and Naval Propar. tlosi-FrencB Sabmarlae Boili Ex cite Wildcat Alarm Through out EolaoA. NEW TOP.K. Aug. 23. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Lon don says: "That the French governmint I pre paring for war there can no longer be any doubt." The Tall Mall Gazette make thi statement editorially. It does but put in concrete form what newspaper In all parts cf England have ben saying in a more veiled way for three days. A remarkable war scare hag spread through England. No particular Inci dent of Importance started It. but doz ens of little suspicious indications are ad.llrg to the kcare daily. Th re Is absolutely no reason for war between France and Ergland save the implacable hatrvd of every class of each nation for the other. The Paris ian newspapers continuously ridicule the English In articles and cartoons. and the London paper reply ponderously with xssaults on the In stability cf the French government and the failure of the exhibition. Newspapers In all parts of England have contained scare article during the last thr;e days on the active French military and naval prepara tions, such as laying in supplies of coal. strengthening the fortified seaports. Increasing the navy, stationing more ships at Calais, Brest and the chan nel ports, arranging for extensive aut umn maneuvers, close to coast towns and the unusual activity on both land and sea. What specially have scared the Eng-' llsh are the French experiments with submarine boat.. The 'Entllsh navy has no such boats; while France Is supposed to have several effective one. These submarine boats are liable to be come a nightmare In England, as their powers are already being- magnified tremendously. The first official recognition of this state of thlnp? came today when the orders of the English admiralty for in ereasing the channel fleet became known. It Is the custom to kep the larger portion of the home squadron In reserve and out of commission at the nival stations. All the usual naval reserve squadron will now be put Into commission. The newest and best bat tleships ard cruisers are to be kept In constant readiness. The home fleet will be divided Into two squadrons, one never to leave the coast, the other nev er to go further than Gibraltar. Many ships are to be fitted out with wireless telegraphy and the channel Is to be patrolled by torpedo boats. The English correspondents at Paris. In explaining why France, though bes towing decorations on representatives of all the other principal countries at the exposition omitted so to honor those of Great Britain, say that the British commissioner, when required to designate those worthy of decoration. n-plled that the laws of his country did not allow him or his official as sociates to accept decorations.
