IN FORBIDDEN CITY
Americans Attacked the Im
perial Palace in Pekin.
CAPTURED FOUR OF THE COURTS
Japanese Minister in 'liondon Be
lieves the Chinese Government
' Must Be Re-Eatabllshed.
LONDON, Aug. 23, 4 A. M. "Today
1500 Americans attacked the Imperial Pal
lace," says a dispatch to the Morning
Post from Pekin, dated August 15. "and
captured four of the courts. The Ameri
can flag is flying over tho imperial gran
ary and the"" Imperial Bank has been
looted."
Describing the relief, the Dally Mail's
correspondent cables!
"August 12, the Tsung llYamuh re
quested a conference with a view -to
peace. No armistice was granted, how
ever, and -that night we endured tho
longest fusillade of the whole siege. It
lasted 12 hours. August 13, the Tsung
11 Yamun begged to be excused from
any conference, saying that the members
were too busy. Later they wrote that
they had forbidden firing on us and
would court-martial any who disobeyed.
During tho evening many shells fell in
the legation grounds."
The Dally Chronicle publishes an in
terview with the Japanese Minister In
London, which represents him as having
said: "
"Tie Empress is the heart and eouI
of China As long as she llyes, .so long
as she remains In China, whether the
supreme power Is, taken from her or not,
she will always be the greatest force,
the one above all others to be reckoned
with. Tho difficulty will be to got any
one who can speak for her. I fear that
tho powers must come to a final under
standing quickly. Riots, anarchy, blood
shed and misery throughout China will
be he inevitable result of tho policy that
does not immediately disclose itself. The
government must be re-established."
The Japanese Envoy expressed his ap
proval of the reported American sugges
tion regarding a conference of the powers
and said he believed that satisfactory
pecuniary compensation could be secured,
despite the fact that hor revenues are
pledged. v
Field Marshal von Waldersee, accord
ing to tho Daily Mall's correspondent,
expresses the opinion that his labors in
China will be of longduratlon, "as paci
fication will be a difficult undertaking."
Three hundred and seventy-five thou
sand Russian troops are already In the
far East, or already on the way there,
by land and sea and under orders to
embark. This statement is made by the
Moscow correspondent of the Daily
Graphic, who adds that mobilization is
in progress arid that there- are now at
Odessa 14 steamers chartered to take
troops.
According to a St. Petersburg special,
a telegram has been received at the Rus
sian capltol from Shanghai, announcing
ffrg PttlHP' , Of " Fupff- Chnns" for
Pekin.
DEFENDS THE UNITED STATES.
Berliner Post Deprecates the Attacks
of Certain German Papers.
BERLIN, Aug. 22. The semi-official
Berliner Post, in a long leading 'article,
defends the. policy of the United States
In China against suspicions cast upon
It "by certain German papers that go
upon the theory that Washington Is pur
suing separate alms. After reciting the
history of Secretary Hay's success in
getting declarations from tho powers in
favor of the open door, the Post says
that this Is calculated to remove all
false Interpretations of American policy.
It then goes" on to say: "Those Ameri
cans are to blame for this mistrust of
the policy of the United States who de
tmand that President McKlnley shall
come forward as the protector- of the
Chinese Empire and declare that the
United States will regard as an unfriend
ly act any further seizure of Chinese
territory, thus establishing an American
protectorate over China."
The papers demand more earnestly than'
ever the calling of the Relchtag In spe
cial session. The Deutsche Tages Zelt
ung argues against the claim that it is
necessary to wait until the Chinese situa
tion has cleared up and demands that
the Reichstag be convened and Informed
regarding' Germany's Chinese policy, add
ing that this "should already be so defin
itely fixed that It can be communicated
to the representatives of a waiting peo
ple." The German War Office lias received
a dispatch from Taku, dated August 17,
saying fhe advance of the German bat
talion was delayed by violent rains. It
reached Pekin August 17. Yang Tsun, it
is added, was threatened by the Chinese
troops on the Imperial Canal.
The military authorities at Hamburg
have decided to omit tho Sedan celebra
tlo on the ground that it will be inop-,
portuno at a moment when German and
French troops are fighting shoulder to
shoulder in the brotherhod of arms. A
number of Rhine cities will omit the
celebration for the same reason.
OUTSIDE THE WALLS. -
Delayed Report of the Advance Of
the Allied Forces."
IN CAMP, OUTSIDE PEKJN, Aug. 14.
(Presumably) via Che Poo, August 21,
Morning- of the 14th Regiments of Japan
ese, American, British and Russians? re
connolterlng along the four roads towards
Pekin yesterday were unopposed. They
established lines five miles from Pekin,
before the east wall, whose towers are
visible. The remainder of the army is
advancing. There are no signs of -the
Chinese In front of Pekin, but there was
heavy firing there all night. Probably
tho Chinese are attacking the legations
in a desperate effort to crush thenf be
fore the city falls. The heat Is Intense,
and the marching soldiers suffer greatly.
(The fqregolng from the Associated
Press correspondent at Che Foo was
evidently written and sent off several
"hours earlier than his dispatch, dated
August 14, and received Tuesday night,
giving the story of the rescue and the
joyful reception of the relief column.)

THHat. a committee of six be appointed to
saarch all jells and go through everv

A mad rush followed for the jail, which
was In the hands of the mob. After go

packed and all rooms searched, except the
rooms In the treasury department. A

Tho City Prison wastagaInvsurrounded
and hundreds of people forced their way
into the building for the second time, in-
I slstlng that Peck' was there. Mayor

the windows In the upper part of the
building. He addressed the mob as Tjest
he could, saying that Peck had been take'A

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 23.-Tho
Democratic State Convention for tho
nomination of a full state ticket was
called to order at the Pabst Theater by
State Chairman George W. Peck, at noon
today. The theater was prettily dec
orated with the National colors. A huge
picture of Bryan, draped In National
colors, was placed in front of the stage.
Chairman Peck Introduced Clark L.
Hood, of La Crosse, as the temporary'
chairman, who spoke briefly on the issues,
of the campaign.
Chairman Hood confined his remarks
mainly to criticising the Republican
party. He alluded to the conditions of
four years ago, when many of tjie Demo
cratic leaders who opposed the Chicago
platform "had kicked over the traces, the
wheel horses had balked, and we were
left without leadership." He then con
gratulated the convention that every one
of these leaders is with the party today,
and said he thought he could safely claim
there Is not a Democrat In the United
Spates today who Is not In favor ot tho
Kansas City platform. The people had
confidence In ,the Intelligence and integ
rity of Bryan, he said, and if elected
he would find a way to correct tha trust
evil. Referring to the newly acquired ter
ritory, he said the United States was
holding people by taxation without rep
resentation, and violated the Injunction of
the founders of the Republic. He said
prosperity did no exist, and pointed to
the spindles running to manufacture
loth for tha Army as. tho? onIyktblhg.pros- '
puTuhg' ChTngse ana Malay labor in com
petition withrthe American workingman.
He closed by predicting that the Increased
demand for soldiers. If the rapid rata
continues, will be followed by the draft
process.
The convention reassembled about 4
o'clock. P. H. Martin, of Green Bay, was
chosen permanent chairman. The plat
form says:
"The Constitution of our country pro
vides for a government based upon the
broad and humane principles ot a govern
ment by consent of the governed. Wo
denounce the abandonment of this princi
ple by tho McKlnley Administration and
the substitution in its stead of the mon
archal system of government by force.
"We expressly declare our opposition
to the McKlnley policy of establishing
colonial dependencies as adjuncts to our
Republic. We denounce that policy as
revolutionary, destructive of the funda
mental principles of free government and
the abandonment of that splendid system
upon which was founded our fre Insti
tutions. We will fight to the last ditch
every attempt to establish a military
system, which necessarily leads to com
pulsory military service as an obligation
of citizenship, and will strenuously op
posetHb maintenance of a large standing
army unnecessarily with all Its attendant
burdens of oppressive taxation.
"We denounce the attitude which the
McKlnley Administration has assumed to
ward the gigantic aggregations of capi
tal, commonly known as trusts."
Louis G. Bohmrlch, of Kenosha, was
theh nominated for Governor by acclama-,
tlon and the convention took a recess
until S o'clock.
On reassembling a communication was
received from the Populist convention,
stating that that party would Indorse
the Presidential Electors a3 ratified by
the Democratic convention. The list of
Presidential Electors as elected "by the
various dlstrictsand two electors-at-large
were then named and the remainder ff
the state ticket as above given Tvas nom
inated with but little opposition.
