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.

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.

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.

of CUTICURA Ointment, purest and sweet
est of emollients and greatest of skin cures.
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. Thus itcomLines in One Soap at Ons

Antls for McKinley.
New Tork Tribune.
Mr. Charlton T. "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.
