AT GATES OF PEKIN
Russian Force Said to Be
Storming the City.
ATTACK UPON THE LEGATIONS
Xt I Rumored That AH the (Forelgm
ers la the Capital HarcBecH
' Maaacred.
LONDON. June 20. 3 A. Mr-TheRussian
relieving: force arrived outside of Pekin
this morning, says the Shanghai corre
spondent of the Dally Express, and Im
mediately began to attack the city on two
sides, employing numerous artillery- The
force apparently arrived In the nick of
time, for the Chinese assert that the at
tack upon the legations had. been suc
cessfully renewed. The night of June 1G
the Chinese troops, under Generals Tu
Fuh Slang and Tung Chlng, attacked the
legations and set en fire Ave European
buildings. Nothing definite is known as
to the result, except that the-Chinese were
disappointed, although other reports, ut
terly discredited !by foreigners here, are
that the Chinese, Infuriated by the de
struction of Taku. have elm j massacred
all the foreigners in Pekln.
A modified version of the rumors re
ceived at Berlin Is that the French as
well as the German Minister has been
killed. The English at Shanghai think
that the Chinese had foreign advice In
'organizing the defenses at Taku, because
of the precision with which their attack
was delivered. The wires ccemecting with
the harbor mines were cut b3" the boats
of ihe warships the night before the bom
bardment. It Is now reported at Shang
hai that It was on board he Russian
cruiser Korletz, and not the Mandschur.
that the explosion occurred, killing and
wounding more than 50. It is reported
that no fewer than 700 Chinese were
kiiled In the forts.
The Shanghai correspondentof the Daily
Express says he is officially Informed that
Japan Is mobilizing 25,000 men for Imme
diate transport.
The British cruiser Undaunted arrived
at Shanghai yesterday, cleared for action,
and took up a position commanding the
Chinese forts. There are three Chlncsei
cruisers in the harbor. The new Chinese
cruiser Hai Hang, built by the Arm-,
strongs, has been taken Into .custody at'
Taku by the British and Russians.
At Yumnan Fu, where the rising has
been gathering fcrce for several days. 6S0 J
Christians have been attacked at the
French mission settlement, many being
put to death. The French Consul and
three missionaries are still In prison.
The disorderly elements have secured
the upper hand at Wa Hu and Czechuan,
where the native Christians have been
massacred. A thousand Boxers have' J
gathered on the outskirts of Tien Tsln.
The Shanghai correspondent of the Dally'
News, telegraphing yesterday, says:
"The Chinese officials here assert that'
they have news from Pekln up to June
17. The situation was then very serious.
Beyond that they claim to have received .
nothing, but they deny that dispatches j
have been withheld.
"Although I am not willing to adopt'j
the alarmist reports, my impression, gath- j
ered from the Consuls and Chinese au--.
thorltles. Is that the worst is to be feared
In Pekln. Admiral Seymour's column Is
now In the middle of an arid plain, with
no food and no good water, and surround
ed by hostile rorces.
A dispatch from Shanghai announces
that the United States transport Thomas,
with 'troops for Manila, was diverted to1
Nagasaki and has arrived at Taku with
1200 men.
The ShanKhal correspondent of the'
Times, telegraphing yesterday, says:
"The British flag is reported to have
"been flying yesterday over the' south gate
of Pekln. This Is presumed to indicate
the arrival of Admiral Seymour. The
summoning of Li Hung Chang to Pekln
Is regarded as a complete change of front
on the part of the Manchus. who have
abandoned the hope of opposing the pow
ers." The Hong Kong correspondent of the
Times says that the Boxer movement is
spreading on West River.
RUSSIA'S FRAXIC DECLARATION
Troops Will Be Sent to China Only to
AiHist the Powers.
WASHINGTON. June 19. When the of
ficial day closed It was found that a mes
sage received in the morning from Admiral
Rcmey. at the Navy Department, touch
ing the readiness of the Princeton,
Marietta and Zafiro for Immediate service,
represented all the news that had come
to the Government from the East since
yesterday.
One fact of the utmost Importance de
velopedthat the notice of the Russian
Government of Its intention to dispatch
4000 troops to China was accompanied by
a notice that these troops were to be
used for the assistance of Europeans and
Americans, and with no purpose of terri
torial aggression on the part of Russia.
This assurance was received with the
greatest satisfaction. It is understood
that Japan, in view of Russia's frank
declaration, will consent to assume the
same obligation toward the other nations,
in which case the most dlfflcult obstacle
to effective action, whether concurrent
or joint, by the powers in China may be
considered as removed.
Lord Pauncefote. the British Ambas
sador, called at the State Department this
afternoon, and spent half an hour in con
ference with Secretary Hay. His Lord
ship had no news from his own govern
ment, beyond that conveyed by the morn
ing papers, respecting developments in
China, and he was particularly anxious
to be informed as to the details of the
reported battle Sunday morning. The
State Department was without informa
tion on this point.
It is said that Admiral Kempff will be
heard from in a day or so. The difficulties
In the way of a speedy communication
between the Navy Department and the
Admiral are illustrated in the series of
messages that came in the last 4S hours
from the cable ofllce. Yesterday the de
partment was informed that while the
wire system beyond Che Foo and leading
up to Taku and Tien Tsln had been cut,
it had been arranged that a dally steam
boat, should take messages for these
points at Cbe Foo and carry them to
their destination up the river. This ar
rargement involved a day's delay, but It
was acceptable. The authorities were
disappointed at receiving today the fol
lowing notice from the cable office:
"The cable ofllce reports that the Chi
nese administration canceled arrange,
ments for postal service from Che Foo
to Tien Tsln today. The northern route
through Siberia will do Its utmost to get
telegrams through, but messages can be
iceptcd only at sender's risk."
An ugly feature about this notice was
the apparent purpose on the part of the
CWn"je Government to Interfere with free
communication between the commanders
at Tien Tain and their respective govern
ments. Adjutant-General Corbln declares that
up to date only one regiment, the Ninth
Infantry, had been ordered from Manna
to China. In addition to the Oregon,
which !.s to go up to Taku from Hong
Kong, the Buffalo, with 300 green lands
men aboard, has been ordered from South
rmpton. England, to the Philippines,
vvhil the gunboats Princeton and Mariet
ta, v.-hlch are admirably suited to service
in the Pel Ho River, have been held at
I'avlte tinder orders to be ready for serv-li-e
at any moment. The Zafiro has been
hold nt the same place, In readiness to
take on supplies for the naval contingent
at Taku. If the Princeton and Marietta
join Admiral Kempff. as seems probabio
now. he will have at his command a mere
numerous and effective fleet of cunboats
adapted to service on the Pel Ho River
as far up as Tien Tsln than those of other
nations.
It Is not known whether or notour naval
vessels were with the other foreign ships
In .an engagement at Taku. In the ab
sence of a copy of the orders to Admiral
Kempff. it is not possible to give a pre
cise definition of his position, but the facts
are wider than were suppoBed. He Is not
limited to the protection of American life
and property, but may do anything In his
Judgment to conserve American interests
of any kind In China. This instruction
opens up unexpected possibilities, involv
ing even an alignment of the United States
with China in case it may be found neces.
sary in that manner to prevent the Tisurpa
tlon or destruction by other powers of such
trade privileges as we now enjoy in
China, Improbable as such alignment may
be.
A significant fact In this connection Is
that the official view here is still that
there is not yet a state of war between
China and the United States. It Is con
tended that the stirring events of Sunday
morning did not officially Involve us In
war, and that the action of the Chinese
Commander at Taku may yet be dis
avowed or prove to have been based upon
Ignorance or mlsunderstanglng. In this
case, it still gives an opportunity for ex
planation by the Chinese Government, and
suitablo reparation might close this Inci
dent without war.
BOMBARDMENT OF TAKU.
Farther Particular Received by the
British Admiralty Offlec.
LONDON, June 19. From the German
official dispatches the American ships took
no part in the bombardment of the Taku
forts Saturday morning.
The Admiralty Office has received the
following message from the officer com
manding the British flrst-claas cruiser
Endymion:
"Lieu Kan Tau, June 18. The Taku forts
opened fire at 1 In the morning on the
ships of the allied squadrons. After six
hours' engagement, the forts were si
lenced and occupied by the allied forces.
Additional men for storming the forts
were sent ashore from the ships the pre
vious afternoon. The British ships en
gaged up the river were the Algerine (gun
boat); Fame (torpedo-boat destroyer), and
Whiting (torpedo-boat destroyer). The
two latter captured four Chinese torpedo
boat destroyers. The casualties of tho
Algerine were slight; those of the storm
ing party are unknown. A Chinese second-class
cruiser, flying an Admiral's flag.
Is detained outside Taku by the allied
Admirals. No Information of Commander-in-Chief
Seymour's return to Tien Tsln
has been received by the War Admiral up
to 2 this afternoon. I am sailing forth
with for'Taku."
The Admiralty draws attention to the
fact 'that the Endymlon's report, which
is of a later date, does not confirm tho
Japanese report of Admiral Seymour's
return to TIcn Tsln.
A news agency dispatch from Shanghai,
dated June 19, says the latest news from
Pekin is that the Empress Dowaser !s
greatly concerned at the capture of the
Taku forts, and wholesale degradations
of the Chinese Army, including Generals
Sung Chlng and Fung Fu Slang, the Gov
ernor of Pekln. and other high officials,
who promised the Tsur.g 11 Yamun to no.
compllsh the expulsion of the foreigners,
have taken place. Three of the Taku
forts, it Is added, were completely de
stroyed, and most of the garrisons were
killed or wounded by a charge from the
sailors of the allied fleets.
Rumors that Japan will, as the manda
tory of tho powers, restore order in China
were revived in the dispatch from Yoko
hama. Berlin dispatches Intimate that
Germany will not object to Japan sending
18,000 troops, while Great Britain will In
dorse the plan with avidity, though per
haps only secretly. Tho Japanese lega
tion In London has official Information of
the d'spatch of 2000. In the meanwhile
the British are dispatching six native
regiments, besides artillery, from India.
The levolt is spreading In Western Cn.na.
The representative of Pritchard Morgan,
M. P., at Cheng Tu, wires that he and his
party have been detained there, owing to
the news that the revolution has broken
out In Sechuan, which adjoins the Prov
ince of Yunnan, also in revolt, and of
ficial news comes today that the London
Missionary Society's premises at Trao
Sheh. Central China, west of Hankow,
have been destroyed by a mob.
Tho rising seems to be spreading with
rapidity, and shows an unexpected organ
ization among the anti-foreign elements.
The missionaries at Tsao Sheh escaped
and reached Hankow In safety.
It was announced today that the Chinese
Government has notified the cable com
panies that It Is unable to provide any
longer the daily boat service hitherto run
between Taku and Che Foo, whereby dis
patches were filed after the destruction of
the overland route. It was further learned
that it was quite likely that even Che
Foo, which Is over 200 miles from Taku,
will not long be available for sending
cables. All dispatches coming from
Taku are taken to Che Foo, in vessels of
the powers, which may shortly have to
go to Shanghai. This tedious method of
communication may exist for some time
after tho united' forces reach Pekln.
Three American Regiments to Go.
NEW YORK. June 19. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
To meet the exceedingly grave compli
cations that have developed In Northern
China and in order that the United
States may be commensurately repre
sented in the relief and protective meas
ures forced upon the foreign nations, the
President has directed General MacAr
thur to send three regiments of regular
to Tien Tsln, which, with their support
of commissary, field transportation, sig
nal -men and medical staff, will make a
force of 5000.
Admiral Remey has been directed to
send the Oregon to Taku as soon as she
can start. He will take extra marines
and sailors from tho Monterey, now with
Ivor at Hong Kong.
French Official Reports.
PARIS, June 19. The French Consul at
Shanghai telegraphs that complications in
the Yang Tse Kiang Valley and tho Prov
ince of Tsai Chuan appear to be diminish
ing. The Minister of Marine announces that
the French armored cruiser Guichen will
leave France for Taku June 23. and that
the armored cruiser Admiral Charner and
the second-class cruiser Fralnle will leave
June 29. He adds that two transports
conveying two battalions of Infantry and
two batteries of artillery would leave at
the same time.
At Toulon Jfnvy-Ynrd.
TOULON. June 19. The greatest activ
ity prevails here with the view of guano
ing agalnBt any eventuality; but with the
exception of an order to prepare two
cruisers to proceed to Chinese waters, no
instructions have yet been received. Tnc
vssels to be sent will be either the Cals
assas and Du Choyla or the Alger and Bu
geaud. any of which, or all. can be made
ready to sail In a week's time.
There is also a question of forming a
light division- of cruisers, to be composed
of, the Lavoisier. Lalaade. Forbln, Wat
tlgnlcs, Du Iberville and Casbanca.
French Reinforcement.
PARIS. June 19. The French Govern
ment will have 4200 troops at Taku when
the reinforcements just ordered have ar
rived there. They will reach Taku be
fore June 30. The dispatch of a cruiser
division, which was decided upon today,
will give France a strong naval force,
consisting of seven modern cruisers three
of the first class and four of the second
four gunboats and a dispatch-boat.
Jnpnn Without Information.
BERLIN, June 19. The following semi
official dispatch has been received from
Toklo:
"The Japanese GoveriCTent has teen
cut off from all communlcat'on wl h Pe
kln since June 14. The Japanese Consul
at Che Foo does not report anything con
cerning the destruction of the legations
at Pekin. . , . .
CALLED TO ORDER
(Continued from First Par.)
riveted upon him, and a wave of ap
plause swept the hall.
Convention Called to Order.
Chairman Hanna faced the storm of ap
plauso with a resolute face- His stern
features did not relax, but he nodded on
acknowledgment as the applause broke
here and there Into a cheer. When It
had subsided be brought down the gavel
again.
"The convention will come to order," he
shouted, at exactly 12:25. "The convention
will be opened with prayer." he continued,
"by the Rev. Dr. J. Gray Bolton, of the
Hope-Street Presbyterian Church, of Phil
adelphia." Chairman Hanna remained standing
with bowed head while the minister came
forward.
But the delegates in the pit remained
seated, and only here and there did one
of the spectators rise. All. however, bowed
their heads reverently while Rev. Mr. Bol
ton read his prayer. He eald:
"O, Thou who are a spirit Infinite, eter
nal, unchangeable In Tby being, wisdom,
power, holiness. Justice, goodness and
truth. Thou art the Sovereign God, the
creator, luler, disposer of us and all that
Thou hast made. Thy thoughts are not
our thoughts, nor Thy ways our ways.
Thy mercy Is not limited to persons ar.d
to races, but comprehendeth all that live
and breathe. Blessed by Thy name.
"Thy glory Is shown and Thy kingdom
has been advanced, in leading men ana
nations, and by a way that they knew
not, to a land of security and peace.
"O, that men would praise Thee for Thy
goodness and for Thy wonderful works to
the chKdren of men. We adore Thee for
the way in which thou hast led us. The
glory and honor of our Nation is the
manifestation of Thy power and glory.
Thou hast led us hi ways not of our own
choosing: ways beet for us and most to
Thy glory. May we cheerfully follow
where thou leadcst-
"Thou hast been the God of our fathers.
Thou art tho God of their chl dren. Our
trust Is In Thee. Save us, O Lord, frcm
Ingratitude and discontent. Give us the
spirit of pratae and thanksgiving. Grant
that we, as a Nation and a people may
remember Thy goodness, and praise Thee
for continued life and prosperity. O Lord,
our God. let Thy richest blessing rest
upon Thy servant, the President of the
United States. Imbue him with a com
petency of Thy divine wisdom; that he
may direct the affairs of the Nation
to Thy glory and the well-being of our
people. We humbly beseech Thee, O Lord
God. to bless all In authority. Sustain
them In their responsible relations to
Thee and a free people.
"O, God of all wisdom, and grace, grant
unto this assembly wisdom, grace and
guidance, that in all their deliberations
and conclusions Thy name shall bs glori
fied, the honor of this Nation maintained
and the peace and prosperity of the peo
ple established.
"Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost; as was In the be
ginning, is now, and ever shall be. world
without end. Amen."
As Colonel Dick stepped forward, call In
hand, ho was given a ripple of applause.
He read the formal call, while the vast
assemblage fretted for the more vital
proceedings.
Chairman Hanna' Speech.
The prayer completed, Mr. Hanna was
again the center of attraction. He left
the presiding officer's table, and, stepping
to the front of the platform, looked upon
tho sea of faces, and in a clear voice be
gan his speech of welcome. Chairman
Hanna addressed the convention as fol
lows: "Gentlemen of the Convention: In bid
ding you welcome I also desire to extend
congratulations upon this memorable
gathering of representatives of the great
Republican party. (Applause.) The Na
tional committee made no mistake when
it brought the National convention to the
City of Philadelphia. (Applause.) This
city, the cradle of liberty (applause) the
birthplace of the Republican party (ap
plause), this magnificent Industrial center,
a veritable beehive of Industry, what fit
ter object-lesson could be presented to
those of us who have gathered here to wit
ness the succers of that principle of our
party which has been Its foundation, the
protection of American industries. (Ap
plause.) This city has long and always
been known the country ever for its un
bounded hospitality (applause), and the
superb management of all great func
tions which have come within Its limits.
On tho part of the National committee I
desire to extend their sincere thanks to
the people of Philadelphia and especially
to your honorable Mayor (applauee) and
the loyal citizens, without regard to par
ty, who have labored to make this conven
tion a success.
"Delegates, I greet you on the annniver-
sary In Philadelphia of our first party
meeting. (Applause.) I need not remind
you that your duty here Is one of delib
erate Judgment, one that you are held re
sponsible for. We are come together once
more on the eve of a great struggle. We
are now beginning to form our battalions
under the leadership of our great states
man. General McKlnley. (Continued ap
plause.) I was about to give the order
for these battalions to move, but you In
from afar the smoke of battle: It needs no
order to Republicans when they scent
from afar the smckc of battle It needs no
Incentive for the men that sit in front of
me to tell them what their duty is. Upon
the very foundation of our party rests the
belief and strength of every member of It.
"Before I lay aside my gavel and retire
from the position which I have held as
chairman of the National committee for
four years. I derfre, In this presence, in
the moat public manner, to express my
sincere thanks to every njeraber of this
splendid connxKtee. who iitood by me In
tho struggle of 1896. and especially ihat
coterie who gathered at the headquarters
In New York and Chicago and worked
from early morning- until late at night for
the principles of the Republican party
and for the welfare of the country. I
leave It In tho bands of others to tell you
what that means, but In passing to others
thes; duties, I want to make the sugges
tion to always trust the people (applause)
and leave as an Inheritance to them the
motto of the committee of 1E96: "There is
no mich word as faiL And now, gentle
men. It becomes my duty and very great
pleasure to present you as your temporary
chairman Senator Wolcott, of Colorado."
Temporary Chairman Taken Hold.
Senator Fairbanks, from the first row
of delegates, arose and moved that the
election of Senator Wolcott as temporary
chairman te approved, and with unani
mous voice the delegates so voted.
The appearance of the Colorado orator
a moment later set the convention oft
like a rocket He wore a blue sack suit
with white "vest. There was elasticity
in his step as he bowed low to the con
vention and there was something about
him which suggested his mountain home.
With a pleasant nod of acknowledgment
to Chairman Hanna. he turned and ad
dressed the convention. (His address will
be found in another column.)
Senator Wolcott has a clear, resonant
AN ANTIQUE VASE IN GRAVE DANGER OF
voice, .which penetrated to the furthest
recess of the hall. He speaks, however,
with groat rapidity, and this perhaps
somewhat spoiled the effect of his speech.
But the thousands before him were In
thorough sympathy and he had no diffi
culty In striking a responsive chord.
When, with outstretched arm, he pre
dicted tho triumphant eleotlon of the
Republican ticket in November the au
dience surrendered, and when he first
mentioned President McKlnley's name,
he could not proceed for a minute owing
to the demonstration.
It was a key-note speech covering the
legislation which had been placed on the
statute books and Its note was the pros
perity of this country and the leg.latIon
which had made Its continuation possi
ble. That was the theme to which tho
demonstration of the convention clung.
When he said that the Democrats were
driven to find new Issues in the war
which they had been almost anxious to
precipitate, the convention rose at him,
but the outburst was even greater when
he declared that the division among the
Republicans of the East and the West on
the financial issue was a thing of th
past and that those who had left the
party four years ago in the West were
returning on the issue of expansion. The
first mention of expansion was also tha
signal for a demonstration.
Senator Wolcott paced up and down
along the front of the platform as he pro
ceeded and several times he consulted
his notes. He is not at hte best in pre
pared speech and his admirers were,
possibly, a little disappointed.
The Indiana delegation led the ap
plause when Senator 'Wolcott announced
that the thieving postofflce officials In
Cuba would be hunted down. Probably
the greatest demonstration occurred
when he said that we would establish law
and order In the Philippines and that
the last thing- to be considered was to
give up the Islands.
The delegates got on their feet and
cheered when he sold that our sons were
buried In the sands of Luzon and we
would never give up the soil that held
our dead.
He 6poke an hour and ten minutes, and
as his brilliant peroration closed there
was another enthusiastic demonstration
of applauee, the delegates standing on
chairs and waving hats, umbrellas and
handkerchiefs while at the same time
the band played the enlivening strains
of a patriotic air.
Senator Wolcott received many hearty
hand-shakes from those about him, and
then turned to the business of the con
vention, announcing the long list of com
mittees and officials previously agreed
upon.
The list of temporary officers was then
announced as follown:
Temporary secretary Charles M. John
son, of Minnesota.
Assistant secretaries-John R. Malloy.
Ohio; John R. Beam, New Jersey; Lucien
Gray, Illinois; Gardner P. Stlckney, Wis
consin; James F. Burke. Pennsylvania;

F. S. Gaylord, Connecticut.
Reading clerks Dennis E. Ward, Mich
igan; E. L. Lampson, Ohio; James IL
Stone. Michigan.
Clerk at president's desk Asher C.
Kinds, of Minnesota.
Official reporter M. W. Bluenberj;, Dis
trict of Columbia.
Tally clerks J. C. Potts. New Jersey;
George B. Butlln, Nebraska.
Governor Taylor Appears.
There was a momentary lull and then
Mr. Wolcott. gazing out at the assem
blage, said:
"Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, is rec
ognized." iivery eye was turned to the center of
the hall, where a gaunt, black-garbed
figure, with the swarthy face of an In
dian, stood awaiting a pause In the hur
rah wh'oh his name had evoked.
"Come to the platform. Governor, they
want to see you," called out Mr. Wol
cott. The much-talked-of man from Kentucky
moved up the aisle to the platform, re
ceiving a cheer as Senator Wolcott ad
vanced to greet him. There was a mo
mentary silence as the convention waited,
apparently expecting a speech echoing
some of the recent dramatic Incidents In
Kentucky. But, Instead of that. Governor
Taylor seconded the nominations of the
i various officials who had been announced.
' and this done, he left the stage. The
nominations were made unanimous.
"Mr. Payne, of New York," announced
the chairman, and again all eyes turned
to the center of the hall, where this time
the chairman of the ways and means
committee was seen. He moved that the
rules of the last convention prevail until
other rules were adopted, and this pre-
railed without dlaaent.
j Tho call of the roll of states, for the
, submission of members of the various
; committees, then began. It proved a tedi
ous process, and the convention was vlrtu-

While the lists were being brought to
the 6tage, Governor Rcceavelt was hold
ing a regular levee In the pit. Delegates
swarmed toward him from all directions.

Thou hast not dealt so with any other
people. Because, of thy favor, our land
Is even now smiling with fertility and
beauty, our cltle? and towns are filled
with the hum of industry, and our coun
try places with the songs of happy reap
ers. Thou hast gi-en unto U3 w!se rulers,
bravo defenders of the- land and the sea,
and just and equal laws by which every
man may sit under hie own vine and Tg

afraid.
"We thank thee for tho comlnff together
of this august assembly of representative I
men from all parts of the Nation, and for

"We praise thee, O Lord, undlmmed. the
proud reminder of past achievements ana
the hope for all time to come.
"We thank thee for our honored Presi

"Save us, O righteous Father, from for
getfulness of thee, from all pride and vain
glory. Let not the profane, the self

praise to them that do well. Let our
currency neither be Impaired by Inflation

of "No" and several counter-motions to
lay on the table and adjourn were made.
Finally a brief recess was taken, and
after the Kings County men made a last
appeal for Mr. Woodruff.
When the gavel fell again. Mr. Depew
put the Woodruff motion, and the dele
gates carried it, with a few dissenting
votes, and the caucus adjourned.
Other Delesntlons.
The proceedings of the other state dele
gations may be summarized as follows:
Minnesota The Minnesota delegation
will meet tomorrow morning to consider
the advisability of placing the name of
ex-Senator W. D. Washburn, of that
state, before the convention for Vice
President. Utah The Utah delegation Is deadlocked
In the selection of a National Committee
man, and It appears more than likely that
the disagreement will ba carried to the
National committee for settlement. Three
of the delegates Governor Wells, Thomas
Kearns and Edward Loose presented the
name of O. J. Salisbury, of Salt Lake
City, but he Is not satisfactory to the
remainder of the delegation. The six
alternates are also opposed to him. Their
objection Is based upon the fact that Mr.
Salisbury bolted the party and went over
to Bryan, refusing to serve on the Na
tional committee after he had been elect
ed in SL Louis.
California After two days of uncertain
ty, the California delegation today decided
to support Secretary Long for Vice-President.
Some of the delegates would ba
glad to vote for Roosevelt, but they are
inclined to take him at his word, and re
frain from voting for him. George Knight,
chairman of the delegation, said tonight
that in the caucus It would cast Its 18
votes for Long. The Secretary is very
popular, not only in California, but all
along the Pacific Coast, and, with Roose
velt out of the race, he probably will, in
the opinion of his California friends, re
ceive generous support from that section.
Kansas The Kansas delegation met this
evening and decided unanimously tx sup
port Roosevelt for Vice-President. The
declaration was made In a few minutes.
Having made It, the delegation determined
to clinch the decision on the spot. Headed
by Judge Burton, chairman of the delega
tion, the members called, upon Governor
Roosevelt In his room. Judge Burton an
nounced to the Governor that the Kansas
delegation had determined unanimously
and Irrevocably to support him for Vice
President. In his reply Roosevelt reiter
ated the statements he had made during
the past three days. Insisting that he did
not desire the nomination and urged all
his friends to refrain from, voting for him.
At the conclusion of the Governor's
statement. Judge Burton said: "Governor,
we have heard your wishes. Now listen
to our demand. You must bo the candi
date for Vice-President."
Then, turning to the members of tho
Kansas delegation, he said: "Gentlemen,
allow me to present to you the next Vice
President of the United States."
The Governor greeted the members in
dividually, and cordially, but persisted in
his desire that they should not vote for
him. Almost Immediately afterward Gov
ernor Roosevelt left his rooms, and went
downstairs to attend the meeting of the
New York delegation. As he pas3ed
through the lobby of the hotel, not turning
asldo for anything or anybody, he was
greeted with enthusiastic cheers.
Colorado Tho Colorado delegation will
meet tomorrow morning and resolve to
vote for Roosevelt for the Vice-Presidency.
Several members of the delegation

Dispatch From China. Says the IVctvs.
of Ills Death Is Not True.
BERLIN, June 15. The German Gov
ernment continues to express Its opinions
with the utmost caution regarding the
situation In China. Even now tt continues
to avoid the use of the word "waar," and
etlll expresses hope that the Pekln, Gov
ernment is innocent of deliberately hostile,
action.
The German press te outspoken in tho
demand for more vigorous steps. The
Vosslsche ZeKung says: "Germany, In
connection with the other powers, will
bear her share of the burden of re-establishing
normal conditions, but she will
claim an adequate shaire of the reward-"
An official of cho Foreign Office re
marked today that If the alarming news
from Pekin last received were true, some
confirmation of It would almost certainly
have reached the coast, addling: "Still,
the Foreign Offices have prepared to hear
bad news wtoen any news comes." The
Foreign Office apprises the fact that the
Taku forts fired upon the international
fleet In answer to a request to land ma
rines to protect foreigners at Tlera Tsln.
It Is unable to explain tho action of the
Chinese commander, except upon the as
sumption that he aoted under general or
ders from Pekin. The Foreign Office has
no confirmation of the report, published
In Bittlsh papers, that the German gun
boat litis was badly damaged in the en
gagement with the forts and her Captain
killed. It cilscredits the rumor.
A leading official, speaking tor the For
eign Office, repeats the denial that the
powers are negotiating regarding a course
of jodnt acBIon, and says everything has
been left to the various commanders, who
will simply "perform police duty."
An official dispatch says everythinjr Is
quiet at Klao Chou. The mother of the
German Minister at Pekin, Baron von
Ketteler, In Mursster, has received a tele
gram from China, saying the. news of her
sons deafhf is not true.
The Cblnes'e Minister in Berlin has
countermanded the diplomatic reception
for Friday next. Invitations to which had

LONDON, June 19.-r-Lord Salisbury was
tho principal speaker at the bicentenary
meeting this afternoon of the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel, which took
place in this city.
Referring to China, he saldi though tea
persons slaughtered were Christians, It
must not (be Imagined they were murdered
simply because the Chinese disliked their
religion. It was because the Idea pre
vailed there and elsewhere that mission
ary work was merely an Instrument by
which secular government derived its ori
gin. This was unjust, and though the'
missionaries could not renounce their
work, the utmost caution ought to maxlc
their actions, as over-zealousness led to
martyrdom and caused the death of sail
ors and soldiers sent to avenge the out
