NAGASAKI THE BASE
Japanese Government Gives
Rs Cheerful Assent.
AMERICAN TROOPS TO LAND THERE
Three Transports Have Been Pro
vided to Serve Between. That
Port and Takn.
WASHINGTON. Juiy 29. As was antici
pated) the Japanese Government, has
given Its cheerful assent to the applica
tion of the United States Government
for permission to land troops and mili
tary supplies at Nagasaki In transit to
Taku, China. This privilege was desired
in order that the Pacific transports ply
ing between San Francisco and Manila
should not deviate from the regular route,
but that the troops and ttock carried by
them and intended for service In China
might be transferred at Nagasaki, to
other vessels ot the transport service and
taken direct to Taku, The Japanese au
thorities not only have agreed to the
proposed use of Nagasaki, but they also
have assured the United States Govern
ment that they will facilitate the move
ment of American troops and supplies
as much as possible. The Quarter
master's Department of the Army has
provided three large transports of the
Philippine service for use on the line be
tween Nagasaki and Taku, and it is ex
pected In this way to expedite the move
'ment of troops to China.
The State Department has issued the
following bulletin:
"The Secretary of State received this
morning a dispatch from Consul Fowler
at Che Foo, dated midnight, July 19,
paying a Shanghai paper of the 16th said
all foreigners -were murdered. Fowler
wired the Governor demanding the truth.
The Governor replied that his courier
left Pekln on the 11th, and all then were
safe, but Pekln, east city, had been car
ried by the rebels, with the intent to
kill."
FOR CAXTOX'S PROTECTION.
"French. Gnnboata Land Annameie
Soldiers.
LONDON, July 20. A special dispatch
from Hong Kong says French gunboats
have landed 300 Annamese soldiers to pro
tect Shamlet, a suburb of Canton.
To add to the gloom occasioned by
the extremely serious import of tho
news showing the dally developing
strength of the anti-foreign movement In
tho south of China, comes this morning
from Shanghai a report that CO mission
aries and 100 native converts have been
murdered at Tai Yuan, a fortified and
populous city in the Province of Shansl,
on the Tuen Ho, an effluent of tho Hong
Ho, 25 miles southwest of Pekln.
The report is not yet corroborated, but
it tends to confirm the belief that the hope
that tho Central and Southern "Viceroys
would hold aloof from tho Boxer rising
never had much foundation. If this mas
sacre has occurred In the Province of
Shansl there can bo little question that
tho Intense anxiety at even Shanghai Is
fully Justified, for an attack later by
the masses of Chinese gathering In and
about the international concessions would
mean horrors compared with which the
massacre at Pekin would be Insignificant.
The rumor Is again current In Shanhal
that the Empress and Kmperor are pre
paring to retire from the capital to See-Ngan-JFn.
The authorities at St. Petersburg are
satisfied that the measures for the relief
of Tarbln, which is Identical with Char
bin, will be successful. "With a view to
Tshowlng his good faith, tho Chinese Min
ister to St. Petersburg has begged the
Russian Foreign Secretary to examine all
dispatches arriving for the legation, be
fore their delivery.
Indian troops are dally arriving at Hong
ICong, en route to Taku.
A Hong Kong dispatch reports a dar
ing act of piracy within the harbor there.
A score of pirates armed with revolvers
seized a launch and took It up the Canton
Silver, capturing two junks en route. Af
ter looting the craft, the pirates aban
doned them.
SIR CHARLES DILICE'S VIEWS.
Invasion of Amur Indicates Chinese
Government's Hostility.
NEW YORK, July 20. A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London
says:
During the course of an. Interview
Sir Charles Dilke, the ex-Liberal
Cabinet Minister and tho statesman
who Is universally regarded as being the
principal authority In England on foreign
affairs, said that he regarded the latest
news from China as extremely grave.
"Up to the invasion of Russian terri
tory by the Chinese troops," said
he, "there was nothing to lead
us to suppose that there was a
.directing and controlling govern
ment at Pekln. The invasion of the Rus
sian Amur province is a visible sign that
there Is a responsible government still
in power.
"If China were, as we have believed
until now, in tho throes of a civil war,
nelther)ftho contending parties would
vhjef5S3?r opportunity to carry their
'Hostile oyerk'tlon into a -foreign country.
The Chinese attack upon Russia has all
the appearance of being an act of the Im
perial Government at Pekln and the only
interpretation to be plaped upon this
move Is that the responsible Chinese
Government at Pekln has proclaimed war
upon Russia and upon the powers.
"In this connection, I must confess
that I am much Impressed by the fact
that LI Hung Chang should have felt it
incumbent upon him to comply with the
Instructions to proceed to Pekln, which
have reached him from the Imperial Gov
ernment there. It Is extremely .slgnltt
cant that this constitutes another proof
that there Is a responsible Imperial Gov
ernment in control at Pekln."
AMERICA? POLICY.
Is Against the Dismemberment ot
, China.
CHICAGO. July 20. A special to tho
.Times-Herald from Washington says:
As a result of the' Cabinet meetings held
Tuesday and Thursday, the policy of the
T'nlted States concerning the great world's
crisis In China Is fully and definitely de
cided upon. The substance of this pol
icy Is as follows:
L The United States will under no cir
cumstances Join in the partition of China
among the powers.
2. The United States will uso all its In
fluence, to the utmost extent, short of
war with European nations, to prevent
dismemberment of the Chinese Empire.
3. Tho United States proposes to have
a veritable settlement of the Chinese
troubles, and its volco will ever be raised
against spoliation and in favor of pres
ervation of China's territorial and gov
ermental entity, along the lines set forth
in Secretary Hay's note to the powers
dated July 3.
i. The United Staes will not declare
war upon China on account of the show
ing of facts, no matter what other pow
ers may do.
5. The United Staes, acting Independ
ently and for Itself, win co-operate with
the other powers in restoring order In
China, in punishing all officials, high or
low, found guilty of crimes against hu
man life, and in setting up a stable gov
ernment that may give guarantees of se
curity of life and property and freedom
of trade.

i Burning of Tien Twin.
NEW YORK, July 20. A dispatch to
the World from Chee Foo says:
It Is reported that after the allied ar
mies recaptured the native city of Tien
Tsla last Saturday, their shells set fire
to the town. Tho Chinese, before they
fled, killed all their own wounded, it Is
reported. In order to prevent their falling
Into the foreigners' hands.
Native Chinese here state that there are
in and around Pekln at least 300,000 Chi
nese troops and that the Boxers aro
armed with the best and most modern
weapons. From all sources come tno
same tidings, that the Boxers have enor
mous supplies of modern arms and am
munition. Boxer leaders had organized plans for
massacrelng foreigners in all the treaty
ports as well as In the interior, and a
heavy reward was promised for each
white head brought In. Rich loot was
promised to all.
Special stress is laid by Tuan's Generals
on the opportunity the troops will have of
seizing women. The story receives tho
fullest credence of the Europeans here.
Shanghai In Danger.
NEW YORK, July 20. A dispatch to
the World from London says:
The Dally Mail correspondent at Shang

"The Boxer menace Is hourly approach
ing nearer. Shanghai city and the for
olgn settlements are full of 'suspicious
characters, and In tho native quarters a
continually Increasing number of armed
Chinese are arriving "from the north.
"The troops in the Wu Sung forts are
being reinforced daily, and a number of
new guns have been placed In position.
The foreign Consuls today presented a
united protest against these offensive
preparations. "Viceroy Li Kun Ylh re
plied that he had ordered the work of
strengthening the forts to cease immedi
ately, but the local commander still per
sists In tho operatlbns, and refuses to
heed the Viceroy's remonstrances. These
forts completely command Shanghai, and
the guns already mounted aro capable
of blowing the foreign settlements to
pieces In 12 hours."
Information In Paris. ,
PARIS, July 20. Tho Foreign Office has
received Information from a Chinese
source in which, however, certain reli
ance may bo placed, that the foreign
Ministers at Pekln have not been massa
cred. According to this Information, on
July 7 the Ministers were attacked and
the legations burned, but the foreigners
succeeded in crossing the city to Prince
Chlng's palace, which was then barricad
ed and the Europeans were holding their
own up to the time the news left, July
9. Since then nothing has been heard
from Pekln.
To Prevent Exports of Arms.
LONDON, July 20. In the House of
Commons today, replying to a question
relative to the exportation of arms to
China, A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the
Treasury and Government leader In the
House, said It was impossible In the
present state of tho law to prohibit such
exportation, but as the matter was ex
tremely promising, a. bill would today
be Introduced to give tho Government
the necessary power. Such a bill was
subsequently introduced in tho House of
Lords.

adopted resolutions denouncing the Box
er movement, sympathizing with the for
eigners in China and expressing a willing

ing to restore peace in the Orient.
Sentiment in Japan.
YOKOHAMA, Thursday, July 19. The
leading papers still urge the dis
patch of more troops to China, but there
is a growing sentiment against Japan
engaging In extended operations. The
decision of the government in the mat

CUBAN ELECTION.
September 15 Decided Upon as the
Date.
WASHINGTON, July 20. It is under
stood that the President and General
Wood have agreed on September 15 as the
time for holding the election in Cuba
for delegates to the constitutional con
vention to be called for the purpose of
formulating a constitution for an in
dependent government for Cuba. On tho
return of General Wood to Cuba he will
confer with the leaders of the Cuban peo
ple as to the details of the election, and
as to what restrictions If any should be
placed upon universal suffrage in tho
Island. It Is now hoped that the consti
tutional convention will be held before the
end of the year, and, It possible, as
early as October 16. There Is no doubt
that any constitution that may be form
ulated will be scrutinized carefully by
tho President, and possibly by Congress
before it Is allowed to go into operation,
for it is the settled conviction of the of
ficials that Cuba should not be permit
ted to make treaties with foreign nations
except through the United States, nor
should the people be allowed to lnvolvo
the Island In debt, unless authorized to
do so by this Government.

at $194,000, as follows: One hundred boats,
$120,000; buildings, $344,000; stock and ma
chinery. $50,000.
The Trust Problem.
To a thoughtful mind, the trust prob
lem Is one of serious Import. It must
be firmly grappled with, for It creeps
upon society before you are aware of Its
existence. In this respect much resem
bling the various disorders which at
tack the stomach, such as constipation.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, liver
and kidney troubles. Hoptetter's Stom
ach Bitters is the one reliable remedy
for -all such ailments.--Be sure to give
It a trial.

San Francisco Transports Available
for Early Dispatching of Troops
Marines for China.
ASTORIA, July 20. It Is stated on good
authority that tho Government . will
shortly draw rrien from the battery forces
at the forts at the mouth of the Colum
bia to fill out the quota at San Fran
cisco and San Diego, which was mate
rially weakened by tho transfer of men at
those stations to China. In fact, the
whole garrison at San Diego was recently
transferred, while three companies were
taken from the San Francisco garrison.
Should tho change be mado the de
fences at the mouth of the Columbia
would be greatly weakened, as less than
400 men would be left to garrison 14
posts.

MERELY' TO GAIN TIME.
Germany Suspects Treachery In the
Southern Provinces.
BERLIN, July 20. The German Gov
ernment feels confident that the present
attempt by Chinese officials to deny the
Pekln massacre is Insincere and Invented
solely by a desire tD hamper and retar-i
the joint action of the powers. The For
eign Office considers that the gravest
point in the situation just now Is tho
doubtful attitude of tho Southern and
Central Viceroys, with the evident spread
of the antl-f'.rt-lgn hestllltles.
The news rcelvcd here Is very meager,
but It all points to txeachery and to a
cunning policy of piociastlnatlon by the
Viceroys until the moment shall have ar
rived when they can afford to discard
dissimulations. Yuan Shih Kal, Governor
of Shan Tung, is regarded here as worse
than unreliable. The Foreign Offlco
feels glad that all these Chinese ruses
have not succeeded in blinding the pow
ers or In retarding their serious mili
tary preparations.
Officials deny some of the stories
printed by the English- press, stories
which the Foreign Office characterizes as
made of the same cloth as many that
were sent out during the Spanish-American
"War and in the early stages of the
hostilities in South Africa. The only
story showing any foundation, according
to the Foreign Office, is the question of
who Is to 'iccoree commander-in-chief in,
China, now engaging the attention of
the powers. Regarding this, a Foreign,
Office official said today:
"Tho Intention to make Lord WolBeley
or some other English officer the commander-in-chief
does not meet with ap
proval anywhere. It Is hardly strange,
because the British land force In China
is rather Insignificant, as well-authenticated
Information shows. The proposal
to make a German the chief commander
would not be accepted by Germany unless
unanimous wish to that effect was ex
pressed by the powers interested."
The semi-official Mllltar Wochenblatt
asserts, from alleged authentic figures,
that the number of allied troops now In
China Is 43,000. Of IheBe, however, 20,000
Russians are located In Liao Tung Penin
sula and Kwan Tung Province, and 1000
Germans, with 16 field guns, 12 heavy
guns and 16 machine guns, are at Klao
Chou. Now on the way from Germany,
France and England there are about
15,000 men, and theflrst part of a Jap
anese division Is also en route. Ar
rangements have been made for the de
parture of 57,000 men, with 144 guns, and
altogether there will bo, from present
arrangejneats. In China by September
16,000 Germans, 12,003 English, 2000 French,
CO.000 Russians, 21,000 Japatiese. 7O0O Amer
icans, 2000 Italians and 170 Austrians. to
gether with 711 guns and 35 machine
guns.
General von Boguslawsky, a high mili
tary authority, whom the correspondent
of the Associated Press questioned re
garding the foregoing estimate, said It
was quite possible that this force of
110,000 would prove Insufficient to bring
China down, but that In such an event
every power would increase Its contin
gent. "If the whole of China should rise," he
continued, "It might prove "to be a ques
tion of unparalleled military magnitude,
but even then the powers, by skillfully
using their fleets and troops In the har
bors and harbor cities, could dictate
peace on their own termB."
The Vosslsche Zeltung prints a special
dispatch from Paris this afternoon, as
serting that the French language was de
clared the vehicle of general communica
tion between the allied contingents In
China.
Herr Eugene Wolff, tho well-known
traveler and writer, declares In the Ber
liner Tageblatt that "British policy In
China has been solely responsible fop the
present trouble a policy which first cod
dled up the reform party there, and then
loft them, with the young Emperor, In
the lurch." Outlining the terms of the
final settlement, he says:
"Germany, when peace is re-established,
must Insist on three points.. She must
have the Prlnco's palace, opposite the
British Embassy in Pekln; China must
bind herself to furnish Germany for

colonial purpose? as many hundreds of
thousands of coolies as Germany wants;
and the Chinese Government must erect
on German territory In Tsln Tau a uni
versity, commercial, school, technical
school and other similar Institutions,
where Chinese pupils may be taught what
European civilization means, thereby kill
ing forever Asiatic barbarism."
As a further step, Herr Wolff recom
mends that hereafter the Viceroys be
held responsible for the lives and prop
erty of whites In their districts.
Tho Chinese expeditionary corps will
include a corps for field postal service.
. "WANTS MEDIATION OF FRANCE.
TtIesrani Front the Chinese Emperor
to Presfdent Lbabet.
PARIS, July 20. The Chinese Minister
at Paris has transmitted to M. Del
casse. Minister of Foreign Affairs, for
communication to President Loubet, a
telegram from the Emperor of China,
which was dispatched by tho Governor
of Shan Tun Thursday, July 19, asking
the mediation of France with tho for
eign powers. The telegram- makes no al
lusion to tho foreign Ministers at Pe
kln. M. Dclcasse informed the Minister that
Loubet's reply would be addressed to the
French Legation at Pekln. where tho Im
perial Government can obtain It, but
first the Government of the Republic will
Walt until It Is certain that the French
Minister at Pekln is safo and sound.
The telegram forms the subject of more
or less elaborate comment In the morn
ing papers, which, generally speaking,
congratulate Mr. Delcasse upon his re
ply, and recognize the necessity of adopt
ing an attitude of suspicion towards the
dealings of tho Chinese Government, ow
ing to Its proverbial duplicity. The
Plgaro says:
' "We must guard against the first Im
pulse created by the telegram. France,
having no Interest In North China, Is un
doubtedly the better fitted than any other
power to become the Interpreter of the
telegrams of the civilized world, but as
for dealing with the craftier people of the
East, it Is necessary to ask one's sef If
thoir proposal does not contain a trap,
the object of which is to destroy the ex
isting accord between the powers."
Tho Figaro also expresses astonishment
that no mention is mado in the dispatch
of the fate of the foreign Ministers, and
it marvels at the ambiguity of the tele
gram, saying: "Who Is the Emperor re
ferred to, the former ono who was re
ported poisoned, or Prince Tuan?"
Le Journal is also surprised at the ex
traordinary audacity displayed In ad
.drosslng the government direct, vrlthout
giving news as to the French Minister.
The Matin says: "The Emperor has been
caught In his own trap if the only object
of his request for mediation Is to check
tho movement of tho allies In order to
gain time." ,
FRENCH TROOPS FLED.
One of the Incident of the Battle of
Tien Tsln.
LONDON, July 2L The Dally Express
has received the following from Tien
Tsln, dated July 18:
"Tho casualties in the three days
fighting before the native city of Tien
Tain exceeded 1000. It is now certain
that there were several Russians and
Frenchmen fighting on the Chinese side.
Tho Chincao killed their own women
by the wholesale to prevent them falling
into the hands of the Russians. Yes
terday the whole native city was In
flames, and the stench of tho burning
thousands of corpses was unspeakably
horrible.
"Among the Incidents of the fighting on
July 13 was the precipitate flight of 500
French troops from Annam. They had.
been ordered to hold an Important front,
but, on being charged by the Chinese
with bayonets, the entire detachment
bolted panic-stricken. The Russians
killed nil the Chinese wounded. In revenge
of tho Pekln massacre,"

SETTLED ON BECKHAM
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS IfOMEfAT
ED HIM FOR GOVERNOR-
The Culmination of an All-Nlffht Ses-
aion-iplatform on the Goebel
Murder.
LEXINGTON, Ky., July 20. Governor
Beckham. was nominated by the Demo
cratlo State Convention for 'Governor of
Kentucky by acclamation at 36 this
morning. After the names of Judge
Black, of Barboursvllle, and Judge Tar
vln, of Newport, were placed In nomina
tion, the roll call of the convention was
begun. "When McLean County was
reached at 3 o'clock, Beckham had 547
votes necessary to nominate. Then Black
and Tarvln's names wero withdrawn and,
the latter moved that the nomination of
Beckham bo made unanimous. The mo
tion carried, and Beckham was escorted
to the platform.whero he made hl3 speech
of acceptance.
During 'the night, tho committee sent
word to tho convention repeatedly that
they could not report 'until today,
but the delegates refused to ad
journ. Finally tho reports began to come
In after midnight. Owing to tho contest
in Campbell and Kenton Counties, there
was a minority report on credentials,
and after a long fight the minority report,
seating the Tarvin delegates, was substi
tuted for the majority report. Then
came tho reports of permanent organiza
tion, rules and order of business. There
was another fight because of a provision
for the stato committee to arbitrate all
contests, between candidates, as it was
thought to have special application to
the Seventh District, where Trimble and
Moody both claim the Democratic nomi
nation for Congress. This report was
adopted after much debate, when it was
explained that tho special provision was
not retroactive.
It was 2 A.M. when Senator Blackburn
presented the Tcport of tho com
mittee on resolutions which was
adopted. The resolutions indorse
"tho magnificent platform adopted by tho
National convention at Kansas City, and
also the splendid ticket nominated by said
convention," and declare that the Demo
cratic party "has alwayB advocated, and
still does, that all elections shall be
fairly conducted and the results hon
estly ascertained," and continue: "Wo
recommend that the election law of 1S93
(known as the Goebel law), which was
enacted to prevent the repetition of well
known Republican frauds In certain dis
tricts of this state, and which was a
marked Improvement upon the then-existing
law, but which has not proved
sufficient for the purpose, be amended to
secure this end so thoroughly "that the
most hypercritical can find no excuse for
"charging fraud or- unfairness- -to our
party In the conduct of the election. Un
til such amendments can be enacted by
the General Assembly, we declare that the
Republican party shall have representa
tion on both the stato and p county
boards of election commissioners. Wo de
clare to the world that the mob and the
assassin shall -not be the arbitrators of
the rights of the citizens of Kentucky,
nor shall the penalty of an appeal to the
law and the regularly constituted authori
ties be death at the hands of assassins.
Daw and order must and shall prevail
in Kentucky."
The resolutions thon recite at length
the circumstances of the assassination of
Goebel, and denounce the subsequent ac
tions of Governor Taylor In using force
to prevent the Legislature froni assemb
ling and to maintain himself In office;
donounco "the action of Governor Brad

the military forces of the state to con
trol the election and Intimidate electors

DR.- ANGELPS VIEWS,
Best for the "World That China Be
Not Dismembered.
CHICAGO, July 20. X special to the
Times-Herald from Ann Arbor, Mich.,
says!
"I for one, hope the Integrity of the
Chinese' nation will be upheld," said
James B. Angell, president of the Uni
versity of Michigan, and ex-Mlnlster to
the Chinese Empire," In an Interview.
"I should be sorry, Indeed." President
Angell continued, "to see China broken
into fragments. It Is best for her and
best for the rest of the world that fche
be not dismembered. I cannot Bee how
the powers can keep from warfare among
themselves if they partition China.
"But the powers must do something,
and there is little doubt as to the ulti
mate outcome. Every foreigner must be
guaranteed a safe residence in Pekln,
even If the powers have to destroy the
entire Chlneso Empire to accomplish it.
There Is not a nation which has had a
representative there which will be con
tent with less than that.
"Again, the "question of Indemnity will
arise, and I believe China will be forced
to pay for all losses Incurred. And, I
am sure. If the Empress and her advis
ers are found to be In any way responsi
ble for this; one of the most atrocious
crimes against International law that has
ever been committed since International
law has been .known, it means the clean
ing out of the whole establishment. Tho
person of an Ambassador Is sacred. He
Is free to go where he pleases, and his
right to communicate with his home gov
ernment is guaranteed. To violate this
as grossly as those who are In power,
or "who usurped power in China have
done. Is -to arouse the wrath of the civ
ilized world, and nothing short of the
wiping out of thoseresponsibte will satis
fy .nations against which the crime was
committed."
"What were the exact causes and con
ditions that led to the present trouble?"
President Angell was. asked.
"The primary cause is the extreme
hatred which the Chinese bear toward all
foreigners. There are great differences
in the fundamental Ideas and ideals be
tween the European and Asiatic peo
ple. No intelligent foreigner can travel
through Asia without noticing It."
"Are the Chinese adverse to the Intro
duction of the Christian religion?"
"No, not in that broad sense, they do
not seem to fear for the permanency of
their own religion. It 13 not that they
object to missionaries and the Chris
tian religion so much as It is that the
missionaries aro foreigners.
"It Is probably true, as the natives as
sert, that some bad Chinamen go Into
the Christian church to secure the 'Im
munities assured converts by the treaty
of IKS, when all native Christians were
given the same protection as the mis
sionaries themselves.
"A monstrous cause of the uprising 13
the widespread suspicion among the na
tives since the Japanese war that the
foreigners are' going to partition China.
It is not strange that all these condi
tions r cause friction and excitement.
"Then,, two years ago the young Em
peror tried to introduce Western civiliza
tion and reforms. The old conservative
Mandarins held up their hands In holy
horror, and the reform party wa3 quickly
subdued.
"These same conservatives do not hesi
tate to spread the report that it Is duo
to foreign influence that the flame of
liberalism is being fanned. The Chinese
want to be left to themselves, and the
one word 'foreigners' sums up the great
cause of the present trouble."

NEVADA CITY. Cal., July 20. The
powder magazine of George E. Turner,

forts of a large number ot volunteer fire

which would have followed the explosion
of powder stored there. The total prop
erty loss is estimated at $10.000.

rather than help matters. The policy of
the Administration will be to do every
thing possible to aid the friendly Chinese
officers. He made a positive statement
that no more troops have been ordered
for Chinese service. Although the Sec
retary did not say so, It is understood
that the officials here will use all efforts
to get Ll Hung Chang Into Pekln as soon
&3 possible. Secretary Root said It was
