Jjclo Hold Balance of Fo-wer and Fa-rors the Antl-"WIlon Candidate A Split Delecatlon. BBA.TTLE, Wash.. July 8L Neartr complete returns from the comity pre cincts Indicate that the Republican Coun ty Convention Thursday Trill be easily controlled by the combined Humes and Guie forces as against Frink. The vote 1e very close, however, and there may be a change in the situation between this time and the meeting: of the con vention. The Humes men claim 108 votes in t2ie city and 108 in the country, making a total of 216, or within 13 of a majority. This calculation leaves Prink 114 votes in the city and 80. in the country, a total of 1S4. and Guie" about 46 votes. Guie thus holds the balance of power. The final line-up will probably show that Humes and FTink are almost exactly equal in strength. The Prink men do not concede the correctness of these claims, and declare that they will be able to control the temporary organization and instruct the state convention delegation for Frlnk. The leading' candidate, whether Humes or Prink, will have the advantage of the General sentiment in this county for a united delegation to the Tacoraa con vention. The outlook now is that a split delegation will go to the state con tention, but no prophecy of any kind can be made with any great decree ef confidence. Shrink Clatxas 247 of tho 450 Votes. SEA.TTXB, July SL Returns from coun try precincts on primary election of yes terday are coming in very slowly. The supporters of Senator Prinks candidacy for nomination for Governor caucussed tonight and gave out officially that they will control the county convention with at least 247 votes out of the total of 456. They have decided upon S. H. Piles as candidate for temporary chairman. The supporters of Mayor Humes still claim that they will control and organize the convention. HOW COCTTTT SUFFERED.

July 31 Chairman Hanna was at Republican headquarters early today, and Senator Scott and Mr. Manley arrived a few minutes after. Congress man Georgei V. L. Myer, of Boston, had a conference with Senator Hanna. Senator Hanna was asked If there was any truth In the published story that he and Governor Roosevelt had some words of disagreement yesterday over the Oov. ernors St. Paul speech. He Replied:. "Nothing in it. The Governor called on me, and we went over the campaign and the part he will take In it. And he will take a large part In It We dis cussed speeches his speeches with others but not any particular speech that 1 can recall." Mr. Manley said he had not yet heard from Thomas B.

J MAJOR-GENERAL HENRY C. CORBIN LONG WAR PROMISED CORBET THIXKS PEKK "WILTO MAKE DETERMINED RESISTANCE. Ralny Season About to Set In and Rivers Will Rise Wall 40 Feet Thick: to Be Razed. As events now occurring in China are engrossing the attention of the civilized world, some account of the Chinese army, of the forces the powers can bring against them, and all of the operations likely to take place will be of Interest. Telegraphic reports from China have been so meager and so confusing that, before proceeding further, It will not, perhaps, be out of place to give a brief synopsis of what has occurred up to date, writes General H. C. Corbln, in Collier's Weekly. On May 31 there were at Taku seven Russian, one French, two British and on.e Italian warship, all of which landed de tachments of sailors and marines; other ships afterward arrived, and, on June 9, the number of ships had been Increased to 23, two of which were American. Mean while, detachments of various nationali ties had been sent Into Pekln to guard the legations. The troops, when landed, proceeded to take possession of and re pair the railroad. June 10 a force of about 2000 men under Admiral Seymour left Tien Tsln for Pekln. Arriving about 40 miles from the capital, It was found that the railroad had been destroyed, and that further progress would rhave to be made by marching. For some time nothing was heard from this column. On June 17, the Taku forts, at the mouth of the Pel Ho River, were attacked and captured. On June 21, an attack on Tien, Tsln began, and It was necessary to send a force to Its relief. The first detachment, consist ing of about 400 Russians and 130 Ameri can marines, under Major Waller, met 1 with serious resistance and were in great danger until re-enforced by about 1G00 British troops. The rest of the relieving force arriving, an entrance Into Tien. Tsln, which had been held by about COM men, principally Russians, was effected on June 23. It was then learned that Sey mour's column not only had been unable to do anything for the Tellef of Pekln, but, after hard fighting against greatly superior forces, had been compelled to withdraw and had Intrenched near Tien Tsln. June 25, 2000 men went from Tien Tsln to Seymour's relief. The arsenal was destioyed and the whole force re turned to Tien Tsln. In the early part of the trouble, the Boxers had been opposed by Chinese troops, but afterward the lat ter joined the Boxers, and In the recent fighting their forces have been combined. Prince Tuan, thoroughly opposed to all foreigners, is reported to have poisoned the Emperor, to have put himself at the head of the anti-foreign movement and to be actively directing the troops. While the news of the assassination of the Ger man Minister and of the massacre of all foreigners In Pekln Is agitating the civil ized world, the combined forces of the powers are at present at Tien Tsln, and Taku, and unable, with their present strength, to make a forward movement. The steps taken by the powers to Increase their strength in China will be referred to hereafter. The total strength of the Chinese army cannot be accurately given, and. If It could, the statement would have but little value, as many of the men who are car ried on the rolls are neither armed nor equipped, and a large number are follow ing civil vocations and performing no mil itary duty whatever. t s organized into eight fanners of from 10 to 12 army corps each. The banners K'l are distinguished by the colors designated here, and are further divided Into two classes, as follows: No. Banner. 1. Tellow with red border I The three 2. Plain yellow superior 3. Plain white banners. 4. White with red border, j 5. Plain red The five 6. Red with blue border... I Inferior 7. Plain blue j banners. 8. Blue with red border.. These eight banners nominally contain about 300,000 men, but the number main tained on a war footing Is very much less, men being taken from the Bannermen to form other corps. The nationalities com prising the Banner force are three In number, viz., Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, the latter being descendants of those natives of Northern China who Joined the Manchu invaders during the period of their contest with the Ming dynasty In the early part of the 17th century. The soldiers are distributed un der each color according to their nation ality. Thus there being three nationali ties, each Banner is subdivided Into three parts (Kusal) There are. therefore. 24 Kusal three in each K'i. The Kusal are more administrative than the tactical units. under one or other of these divisions all living Manchus, and all descendants of the Mongolian and Chinese soldiery of the conquest, are enrolled. The Banners constitute. In fact, the population of Pe- kin,, with offshoots In various provincial garrisons, and a certain number of the adult males of the force receive pay as members of one or the other mliitary corps into which they have, from time to time, been organized. In addition to the pittance they receive as soldiers of the Banner. The various corps are divided Into com panies (Lyanza), numbering 250 men each In the Infantry and 150 In tne cavalry. According to the latest reliable author ities about all the "organized and drilled Chinese troops to be counted .upon In the present operations are as follows: Approximate strength. General Sung's. corps 10,030 Soon Cings corps.. 7,000 Tung Fu Slang s corps (now oper ating near Pekln) 10,000 General Nieh's corps (now operating near Tlen-Tsln) 13,000 Hu Sheng corps 5,000 Pekln field force 10.000 Division of guards 10,000 The last three corps of these troops I are drawn from the Manchu Banner men. There are other troops more or less well organized and drilled- in dis tant provinces, but they need not be considered as a factor In the present operations. The Governor .of Shan Tung Is said to nave a corps of about 15,000 troops, drilled according to German methods. The value of .the Boxers as a fighting force .against organized Eu ropean troops is" an unknown quantity, but It Is thought to be great. When the troubles In China began, the armed forces of the powers available "were composed of the sailors and ma rines who could be landed from the ships. Some of these ships were near at hand, while others were In different parts of the Orient, but 'within a few days sail. The total number of war ships of all classes In those .waters Is as follows: Great Britain 32France 12 Russia 20jGermany 9 United States ....20Japan .,. 46 " Italy had one ship at Taku, and Aus tria had some marines- ashore, so her navy must be represented; but these two nations are omitted In the foregoing list. Germany had, besides the men on shipboard, about 3000 men at Klao Chou. Russia had perhaps 20,000 men at Port Arthur, and a large number of troops in Eastern Siberia, She has also a large force on the northern frontier of China, but" it Is at a. great distance overland from Pekln, and cannot be considered available. Any reinforcements would probably be sent from Odessa. Japan has a large number of troops available, and can furnish at short notice as many as may be needed, juate reports state that the powers have all" agreed to util ize Japan's military strength, and give her their mandate to Dnng oraer out of chaos. The powers, however, not de pending entirely upon that, are prepar ing to send troops from home. Great Britain has sent about 1000 troops from Hong Kong. Between 4000 and 600Q men were to leave Calcutta June 24. Lord Roberts was asked If he could spare any from South Africa, but he replied In the negative. There left France for China, June 23, three warships and two transports carrying two. battalions of Infantry and two batteries of artillery. There are said to be also about 10,000 French troops at Saigon ready to fen bark. Germany has already made prep arations to strengthen her force in China, but the news of the assassination of her Minister makes It certain that she will eventually have In China as many of her troops as she deems neces sary. The United States has sent a bat talion of marines and a regiment of in fantry from the Philippines. There are at present about 6000 troops en route for or under orders to the Philippines. As they go via Nagasaki, they can be sent from there to Taku instead of to Manila direct. It Is reported that Italy and Aus tria will also send contingents.. Because of .unavoidable delays and the approximate number of days required to reach Taku from the various starting-points, It Is apparent that all the troops under orders for China cannot arrive there until early in August There will be constant accessions, however, from now on, and there will perhaps be enough troops on the ground to take the offensive much earlier. There certainly will be If Japan's offer Is accepted. The question of the manner in which Japan Is to be paid may prove a stumbling block. There would be no objection to a money payment, but there probably would be to a cession of territory. The great necessity for prompt action may, however, cause all objections to be over ruled. , In regard to the use of the navies of the powers, their effectiveness depends upon two things the use of their ships o viof r.iTinr'tv to furnish men for duty ashore. Active operations will be J entirely on land. uunooais oi usnt draught will be useful In river work, not only on the Pel Ho, but near treaty ports In other parts of China where pro tection may be needed. The larger ships, particularly the battle-ships, will be use less except to furnish landing parties. The United States Navy has near the scene of action five gunboats whose draught will enable them to be of serv ice in navigable inland waters. It is not certain within what limits active operations on shore will be con fined. As a rule, the people of one prov ince know little of and care little for what is occurring In a distant province. Each Is governed by a Viceroy or Gov ernor, who, though appointed by the cen tral government, is almost entirely inde pendent of It, and is practically a King within his own dominions. He. raises and maintains an army of the kind and of the size he wishes, and that he is able to pay for. This is illustrated by the dispatches from China, which report the Consuls at the treaty potts as negotiat ing directly with the Viceroys In regard to the safety, of foreigners. LI Hung Chang at Canton has disregarded orders he received to proceed to Pekln and re mains In his province to maintain order there. Up to the present time the troubles have been confined to the province of Chi LI, In which Pekln arid Tien Tsin are situated, and the province of Shan Tung. The latter embraces the peninsula of the same name, on tho coast of which are situated the British port Wei Hal Wei, the German port Klao Chou, and the treaty port Che Foo. If the troubles con tinue to be confined to these provinces, the theater of operation will be much restricted. Tien Tsin will probably be the base of operations and Pekln the objec tive. Any opposing armed forces lying between the two cites must be disposed of and Pekln taken. With Pekin in the hands of the powers, the rest of the work will be a matter for diplomatists. It is considered by well-informed people that a force of C0,000 or' 70,000 men will be ample. The number required will vary with the composition of the force. A compact, homogeneous body, of one na tionality, would be much more efficient strength, made up of the contingents furnished by the powers,, no matter how good the quality of each contingent might be. History teaches that in the opera tions of allies, friction. Jealousies and di versity of purpose obtain. If the relief force Is to be a composite army, under a single head, the details of command and staff should be agreed upon at once by agreement of repre sentatives of the powers, .otherwise there will Inevitably be friction and delays when the time comes o be'gln active operations. From a purely military stand point, leaving political considerations aside, it would be by allodds most ad visable to Intrust the work to a Japanese army, as Japan, by reason of her prox imity, can put In the field, better than any other nation, the necessary number of troops, and a thorough previous un derstanding of the combined European powers with Japan as to payment for her services should prevent any possibil ity of political complications. The question of the organization and composition of the army being settled, the only remaining question Is the char acter of the operations and the diffi culties to be overcome. This Is the worst time of the year for military operations in that region. The rainy season Is about beginning. The country is low and flat and has no metalled roads. The Pel Ho, with Its branches, is shallow and tortuous In the rainy season it overflows Its "banks; and, as there Is nothing to indicate the channel. Its value for transportation of troop and supplies Is small. v The principal difficulties to be overcome are, there fore, those connected with transporta tion and supDly. As the column ad vances, detachments must be left to keep open communications and hold the places taken. On arriving before Pekin a siege might be necessary. The city is surrounded by a wall 40 feet thick, faced Inside and out with Brick, and this In turn by a moat oO feet wide. A flat space, about 100 feet wide, lies be tween the wall and moaL Pekln Is de pendent for Its supplies' from the out side. It has Immense granaries, hut these are outside the walls and cou'd be captured. If the Chinese contemplate determined resistance arid their opera tions are conducted with 'ability, the cap- turo of the city wouId be no easy mat ter, as the time before an Investment could be made" could be employed in pro visioning the walled city. A late telegram from India gives the force to be sent to -China from India as follows: 223 British officers, SOS British warrant and noncommissioned officers and men, 954C native officers and men, 7170 followers, 12S0 horses and ponies, 2060 mules, 6 guns and. 11 Maxims. -two coolie corps of 1000 each will also proceed to China. THE MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA Ho-w He Mndc the Marriage of His . Daughter Pay a Dividend. The stepdaughter of Mayor Ashbridge. of Philadelphia, having budded and blos somed Into womanhood and having ac cepted a proposal of marriage from a young undertaker, her marriage was an nounced, and her enterprising and public spirited stepfather had 3000 invitations sent out to people who were holding city offices under Mayor Ashbrldge's adminis tration.

Millions of People Use Cuticura Soap Exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing th scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, -whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands. Millions of Women use Cuticura Soap In the form of baths for annoying irritations, inflammations, and chafings, too free or offensive perspiration, in tho form of washes for ulcerative -weaknesses, for many sanative antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can indncs those who have once used it to use any other, especially for preserving and puri fying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. Cuticura, Soap com bines delicate emollient properties derived from Cuticuka, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for presrv ing, purifying; and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery.

"Lewis, a vice-president of the Anti-Imperialist League, declares that in his view of the case the league should Indorse the renomlnation of Presi dent McKinley and all the members of it should vote for him, as Mr. Lewl3 him self Intends to do. Despite the frantic attempts of the Bryanlte ostrich to hide Its free-silver and socialist head In the sand and leave only Its antl-lmperiallst body exposed to view. Mr. Lewis sees and says that "the supreme Issue Is the same as four years ago." The like of the Bry anlte party has not been seen since the Mountain of 1793 and the Commune of 1S71. and for Antl-Imperlsts to support such a party Mr. Lewis regards as Htt'e less than insanity. It will be Interesting to observe how many Anti-Imperialists agree with Mr. Lewis. Judging- from their general standard of character and Judgment on other matters, there should be little doubt of a large majority: The Antl-Imperlallsts will divide pretty nearly on former party lines, sinking their dis tinctive Issue before the really paramount issues of honest mdney and honest judic iary. The exceptions will be those who are reconciled to Mr. Bryan through tho "conservatism" of Mr. Stevenson. And those will be such as are capable of be lieving that black is white.
