LITERALLY RUNNING
WITH BLOOD
There is No Hope tor the Foreigners and
All Foreign Consuls Have Cabled
that Disturbances Are Spreading
i,ivno'. Julv C. There is a mass of
wild minor from the far Eiet. Thougt
contradictory on most points, it
continues unanimous as to tbe conbu.u
matiou of tbe tragedy at Fekin.
To consistent reports ot tbe whites are
nnur added tbe additional .horrors
fht tavatie soldiery butchered at the
cipiul 5000 native?, Roman Catholic
converts. This comes on a Shanghai
diepatch of July 5, which only adds to
the report given by respectable Chinese
who have arrived from Chaln-Fu, and
who describe Pek in as an inferno, tbe
streets literally running with blood.
They confirm numeroos stories of
executions and untold tortures Indicted
cn isolated foreigners and European
soldiers captured ly the mob. Tbe
autnoritv of Yung Lu, the Chineee
Imperial Treasurer, who advocated
moderation, was completely effaced by
Piince Tuan Kang Yi and Tnng Fub
Sian.who issued freeh edicts ordering
the merciless extermination of all
foreigners in tbe empire.
Washington, July 6 A dispatch has
been received at tbe state department
from Consul-General Goodnow at
Shanghai, dated July 5. in which be
says the situation is serious and the in
surrectionary movement is spreading. If
the allied forces, he said, should meet
with reverses tbe insurrection will
certainly spread to central and southern
China resulting in the expulsion and
murder of foreigners in tbe interior and
the ruin of trade. A strong force, he
save, is necessary to check the viceroys
in the north and to support li.e viceroys
in the snath.
It is understood that all consuls of the
powers In China hive sent identical dis
patches to their respective governments.
London, July 6 In response to in
quiries cabled to .Shanghai in regard to
tie situation at Pekin, the following
cablegram has been received from an
authoritative quarter.
Shanghai, Thursday, July 5. Prepare
to hear the worst."
London, July 6 Thedanger of a gen
eral revolt in China becomes nx re and
more patent, and Europe is being con
fronted with rapidly increasing force
with the fad that not merely the inter
national col mo n may he forced from
Tien Tin, but thtt the International
troops of colonics and treaty ports will
stand in grave danger of expulsion. In
view of the fact ttiat the previous as
surance of the vicer ys have proved on
trustworthy, their promises of protection
fir tbe whites are hardly convincing.
Oregon In Chlnrsa Waters.
Nkw Yobk, July 9 A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Unler-s international complications
should arise, Secretary Long will not
order the battle-ship Oregon to proceed
to Tiiku when her repairs have been
completed. Upon the arrival at Kobe,
to which point he is taking the vessel
for docking, Capt. Wilde, commanding,
will order a board ol survey to deter
niine what repairs are necessary.
It may be that Naval Constructor
Hoi'son, who is undergoing treatment
at Yokohama, will II well enough, go to
Kobe to supervise the repays. It is un
Oerstood Hint theOregon w ill lie retained
in Japanese water and will be available
for service in China should tl.e interna
tional situation require her presence.
'Che anthourities do n't propose, how
ever, again to risk Ibis valuable ship by
ending her into tbe Gulf of Pechili,
without need for such action.

Tacoma, July 7. Tim steamer Queen,
'"mi Alaska, brings further news ot the
presumed disintegration of the famous
Muir Glacier. The sea in its vicinity
was found full of fl gating Ice, broken from
the face of the glacier, but it was im
possible to get near enouuh to find out
j'ist how badly damaged it Is. It Is
thought the gradual working of the Ice
toward the sea will soon fill tbe month
of the former river completely. This
ill create a new face on what remains

and "Yes you will" from the convention.
Pandemonium reigned.
About this time messages were flying
thick and fast between Kansas City and
Lincoln and and it soon became known
that Bryan was protesting against the
prospective Hill stampede. He wanted
some other man.
Hill appealed to Chairman Jones for
help and was finally allowed to make a
speech positively declining the honor.

A SMALL RAY
OF HOPE
Foreigners in Pekin May Yet Be Saved
All Was Well Tuesday Two
Legations Were Then Holding Out.
London, July 5. The foreign office
has issued the text of a telegram from
Acting Consul-General Warren, at
Shanghai, confirming from thoroughly
trust wot thy sources the news received
by courier from Pekin, July 3, by way
of Shanghai, to the London office of tbe
inspectorate! of Chinese maritime cus
toms, saying that two legations were,
the day the courier left, holding out
against the troops and Boxers, and that
tbe troop i had lost 2000 men, and the
Boxers many leaders.
Mr. Warren adds that the messenger
says the troops were much disheartened
by their losses, tnd that tbe Boxers claim
their mystic powers have been broken
by the foreigners, and that they dare
not approach the legations.
It is further asstrted that the foreign
ers at Pekin ought to be able lo hoid out
for a long time, as they have sufficient
food and ammunition.
Jardine, Mathes & Co., of Shanghai,
have telegraphed thnlr London bouse as
follows:
"Shanghai, July 7. The British lega
tion was standing July 2.' There are re-
assnrlnz reports regarding the lives of
the Europeans."
News from other points was distinctly
disquieting. A report from Che Foo,
dated July 7, says the Catholic bishop,
two priests and two nuns have been mur
dered.
A report from Monkden, dated July 5,
says the Danish mission at Ilin Yun was
surrounded by Boxers. According to
the report, it wonld be possible to hold
out only two days.
The situation at Tien Tsin, July 3, is
said to httve been most serious. Japan
ese and Russian forces are reported to
have been hurrying there from Taku,
but according to some accounts, mutual
distrust exists between the allies.
FIGHT WILL BE
A HARD ONE
But Republican Party Managers Are
Not Discouraged Sending; Out of
Literature.
Washington. D. C, July 7. Although
the democrats seem to take a very hope
ful view of the outcome oi the campaign,
in anticipation of the expected fusion of
the anti-republican forces, theie are no
signs of discouragement at republican
headquarters today, although it is ad
mitted that the fight is to be a iiard one
and will require steady, conscientious
and unceasing e Hurts on the pait of the
republicans.
Republican leaders say they look for
a close fight, but bank their reliance on
the superiority of expansion as the lead
ing issue of the campaign, which will
carry them to victory. The republican
literary bureau is very active now in
sendingout campaign material and docu
ments that will nsBist in the canpn, and
many republican papers of the country
aro being supplied w ith political matter.
At tho hcndqUArtcrs of the democratic
congressional committee today all was
bright and expectant. It was prophesied
on every bund that Brjanand Stevenson
would sweep the country in November,
but this free expression of confidence
among the democrats has not shaken in
the slightest degree the confidence of the
republicans in McKinley and Roosevelt.
They lirmly assert that fusion or no
fusion, their ticket will nnqiieHtionahly
win.

Oi.vmim a, Wash., July 7. The census
enumeration of Thurston County has
irought to light the fact that probably
tbe oldest man in the state is a resident
of the county in tbe person of Sarimel
French, w hose ago is 108 years. Mr.
French was born in April, 17;i2. There
seems to be but little doubt of the au
thenticity of this date. For tbe past
forty years be has given 17!2 as tbe year
of bis birth, and during this period of
time has changed but Jiltlo in appear

Oregon to Kemaln In linrk.
Washington, July 9. The Navy De
partment was informed today that the
Oregon lias arrived at Che Foo. She
will Hart for Kot, Japan, to dock,
July 10 or 12. The cablegram is from J
Captain Rodgers, of the Nashville, wbo
made a flying trip from bis station at
Che Foo out to tbe scane of tbe ground
ing of the Oregon, 35 miles northwest of
the port. His dispatch reads as follows:
"Che Foo, July 9. Oregon starts for
Kobe dock, Japan, about lOih or 12th,
stopping en route, if weather is bad.
All well on board Oregon. "Rout. ers"
The dispatch conveys indirectly the
information that wire communication
with Che Foo is open agaiu.
A rough estimate made at tbe Navy
Department consigns the Oregon to the
dry dock about three months. Tl
courtesy exhibited by the Japanese
Government in allowing the Oregon to
use the dock, which is owned by the
government, is much appeciateJ by tbe
Navy Department officials here.
