Names to the List
ENGLAND'S POSITION OUTLINED
Conflicting Romori of a. Great Battle,
in Which. Fifteen Hundred
Boxers -Were Killed.
LONDON, Aug. 303:16 A. M. Amid
the growing difficulties of the Chinese Im
broglio, Mr. Broderick's emphatic declara
tion last evening proves that the British
Government does not see any cause to
depart from the line of policy originally
declded-upon, namely, to tako no respon
sibility for the administration of China.
Mr. Broderlck said he hoped it would not
be supposed that the -government was
pusillanimous In this respect. Its object
was to maintain British interests. It was
quite ready to take its share of the white
man's burden, but could not admit what
the nature of the burden should be if the
hurden should be dictated to it by the yel
low man. "Here," the Morning Post ob
serves, "is where the difficulty of observ
ing a policy comes In. We could not de
camp and leave the powers to settle
them"
Sir Chlh Chen Lo Feng, the Chinese
Minister In London, asserts that he Is in
constant communication Tvlth H Hung
Chang, who is still in Shanghai.
Dispatches received this morning' bring
no later Pekln news. A Shanghai dis
patch says Li Hung Chang has sent a
memorial begging the Empress Dowager
to appoint Prince Chlng, General Yung Lu
and the Yangtse "Viceroys as joint peace
makers with himself.
There are conflicting rumors of a great
battle, in which 1500 Boxers and Prince
Tuan were killed.
The reform party, under Kang Tu Wei,
Is said to be actively preparing for re
bellion. General Creagh, In the presence of Vice
Admiral Seymour, reviewed 3000 troops of
all nationalities at Shanghai Wednesday.
It is rumored from Hankow that 25 re
formers have been executed, their heads
being exposed.
The Taku correspondent of the Dally
Telegraph, wiring August 26, says the
country -around Taku and Pekln Is de
vastated, with the result that the Box
ers are most unpopular, and are being
attacked by the peasantry. The Boxers,
who were moving north from Shan Tung,
are now returning hastily to their homes.
Belated dispatches and the stories of
the refugees arriving at Che Foo continue
to describe the terrible condition In Pe
ikln. One of the worst Incidents is the
shocking desecration of the foreign ceme
tery outside the west wall. The details
are too revolting to be described. Hun
dreds of bodies of Chinese are found In
the streets of Pekln, supposed to be those
of traitors to the cause of the Uoxers.
The Shanghai correspondent of fhe.
Times says a native official telegram from
Pao Ting Fu anounces the arrival of the
court last Sunday, at Tal Yuan Fu.
Communication between Pekln and Ten
Tsln 4s interrupted, probably because
bands of Boxers make the road unsafe
for couriers. The country north of Xang
Tsun Is said to be flooded.
A German firm Is negotiating with
Chang Chi Tung, the Wu Chang Viceroy,
to lend him 1.000,000 taels on the security
of Viceroyal industrial undertakings.
A correspondent at New Chwarfg says
the Russians at Hal Cheng are awaiting
reinforcements, whose advance is delayed
by tho Impassable condition of the roads
to Leo Tang and Moukden. Meanwhile
the native population of the districts are
being treated with the utmost severity.
Bye witnesses report an indiscriminate
slaughter of noncombatants, and the re
duction of the country in the vicinity of
Port Arthur to a state of utter desola
tion. NOTE TO THE POWERS.
Important Document Drawn Up by
the Administration.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 The longest
Cabinet session held in ears adjourned
at 5:30 o'clock this evening, after having
been In session, with the exception of an
hour's recess, since 10 o'clock In the morn
ing. . The session was devoted to the con
sideration of the diplomatic problems
which have arisen In connection with
the Chinese situation ns a result of the
position taken by the powers and event
uated In the formation of a document for
transmission abroad. That this docu
ment Is of supreme importance in defin
ing the position of the United States Is
assumed from "the prolonged and careful
attention with which It was prepared
and considered, but not a glimmer of
light is shed upon Its exact character.
All efforts to ascertain whether It Is In
the nature of a reply to Germany or
Russia, of a corrective note outlining
the policy of the United ' States under
the new conditions which have developed
since the relief of the legations, were
futile. The members of the Cabinet point
ed out the Impropriety of divulging the
nature of a diplomatic decree before it
has reached the powers or persons to
whom It has been addressed. One Cabi
net officer, however, expressed the opinion
that It would reach tho public In a few
days.
All manner of speculation Is being In
dulged In as to Its purport and contents,
but It Is safe to say the secret will bo
carefully guarded, until the Government
considers It proper to divulge It. Secre
tary Adee. who Is an expert In the phrase
ology of diplomacy, was present through
out the session of the Cabinet, and gave
what assistance he could. In the absence
of Secretary Hay.
The St. Petersburg dispatch to London,
containing tho assertion that Russia will
almost Immediately notify the powers that
she considers the relief of the Pekln Lega
tion as the, final accomplishment of tfie
military task of the allied force. It was
learned late tonight. Is the phase of tho
Chinese situation which Is attracting the
most attention from this Government at
this time. This assertion lnferentlally car
ries with it the Impression that the Rus
sian Government Is of the opinion that,
as the Legations had been relieved, that
government should withdraw Its military
forces from Pekln, and thinks the other
allies should do likewise. No official In
formation along these lines, however, can.
be obtained here, although the recent fly
ing visit of the Russian Charge, Mr. de
Wollant, from Cape May to Washington,
is believed to be Indicative that a com
munication of this character has been re
ceived from the Russian Government.
The withdrawal of the military forces
from Pekln Is a 'phase of the Chinese
situation to which our Government has
not yet given serious consideration, be-
Having the duty of the allies Is to reach
some common ground or understanding
with a vle,w of opening negot!atl6ns for
the settlement of terms of peace with
China. The withdrawal of the military,
it Is held, might be very properly a sub
ject of after-consideration. The show of
some authority or power In China to con
duct peace negotiations, and the recog
nition of International obligations. It Is
insisted, must be the first step toward the
adjustment of Chinese affairs. The Rus
sian proposition of the character reported
from London would not. therefore, it is
believed, be favorably looked upon. by
this Government. As a result, of the
Cabinet nieetlng of today, a. reply out
lining this Government's attitude in this
matter was drafted at the State iDcpart
ment and sent to our Ambassador to St
Petersburg, and a copy furnished to the
Russian Charge d' Affaires In this coun
trj'. Officials familiar with it 'decline to
Indicate its nature.

French. Officials Say Conrrejolles'
Dispatch. Was Correct.
PARIS, Aug. 23. The officials of the
Ministry of Marine here were shown to
day the dispatch from Washington in
which It is declared that the opinion pre
vails there that the dispatch from
Admiral Courrejolles, announcing the
Intention, of the Admirals- to detain
Ll Hung Chang until the diplomats have
consented to open negotiations with the
Chinese referred to a situation which ex
isted some time ago, when LI Hung
Chang first announced his intention of
starting north. .The French, officials de
clare the news Is not old, and thai there
Is no question as to the correctness of
the wording of the dispatch, but they add
that they themselves are unable to say
from the dispatch what Is the present
position of Ll Hung Chang, whether he is
detained on board ship or whether the
Admirals Intend to detain hint when he
arrives at Taku.
Foreign Troops Ashore.
BERLIN, Aug. 29. The German naval
commander at Taku, telegraphs that, ac

Chinese Must Govern China.
LONDON, Aug. 29. William St John
Broderlck, tUnder Secretary of State for

negotiate."
"Great Britain," continued the Under
Secretary, "while prepared to support the
loyal Viceroys of South China who have
stood aloof from this Insurrection, and,
while prepared also to preserve British
trade with China, will claim sone penal
ty or Indemnity for the damage wrought
Nevertheless, we cannot undertake to
govern China ourselves or with the as
sistance of bther powers."

FUSION AT SEATTL

SEATTLE, Aug. 30 John R." Rogers
was renominated for Governor by the
union Democratic convention on th
eighth ballot, at 1 o'clock this morning.
He received 708 votes, or 6 more than
the 'necessary number. The contest

disorder many times marked the course"
of proceedings in the convention. Rogers
on the first ballot received 633 A'otes. and
gained on every ballot until his final vic
tory. He was actually nominated on the
seventh ballot, but In the confusion and
through a misunderstanding as to the
vote of tfie Walla Walla .Fonullsts he-l03t
four.votes intended to be kCast for him.-
He then' wanted only 1& votes. The
chairman ordered another vote, which
was decisive.
The victory for Governor Rogers has
been gained after a most remarkable con
test, In which the odds were heavily
against htm. For the last two. days-it
has seemed Impossible that he. could .win,
but the Inability of the opposition to-con-solldate
on a candidate, and the elimina
tion of Voorhees as a factor, turned the
balance In hfs favor. Rogers lost the
organization of the Democratic and Popu
list conventions In the first Instance, and
then the opposition forced him to accept
the two-thirds rule. This .they thought
killed htm off. He overcame the handicap
of the two-thirds rule, the combined op
position 0f the powerful counties of Pierce
and King, the Invincible hostility of many
I Populists and Democrats, and the antag
onism of the Democratic and"Popuiist ma
chines. The unexpected turn of events lh Rog
ers' direction came about with, the nomi
nation of Robertson of Spokane for
Congresman. This state nominates both
Congressmen-at-laxge. It was the plan
of thtf anti-Rogers faction to put up J.
T. Ronald, of King, whom a great ma
jority undoubtedly favor, against Robert-
'son, for one nomination, and thus kill
off Robertson, and Jeave the way open to
Voorhees .as a candidate for Governor.
Robertson proved a.very strong candidate,
ana iea Konaia,vana as,ine Danoung pro
ceeded seemed certain to defeat him.
Many delegates voted for Robertson, ex
pecting to gle Ronald the second nomi
nation. The King County man had madfr
a combination with Thurston Daniels for
the other nomination, and he could not
honorably enter the second contest Dan
iels finally solved the problem for King
County and saved Ronald's neck by of
fering to withdraw. Rdnald and Robert
son were "then nominated by acclamation.
The obstacles to the union convention
disappeared In the morning, and fusion
under the Democratic name -nas then
effected. The mass convention proved
large and unwieldy. A union platform
was adopted. The convention will finish
Its business tomorrow. It cannot, bo said
now whether many delegates will bolt
the Rogers nomination.-Probably some
will.
The Rogers slate Is as follows:
W. B. McCroskey. Whitman, Lieutenant-Governor;
J. A. Brady. Snoho.n'sh,
Secretary of State: Thomas Vance, Yak
ima, Attorney-General; W. E Runner,
Spokane. Treasurer; M. Snyder, Douglas.
Auditor; O R. Holcomb, Adams, Land
Commissioner; F. J. Browne, King. Su
perintendent of Public Instruction; E. C.
Million, Skanlt. and one to be selected.
Supreme bench; James McNceley, PleTcc,
N. G. Blalock, Walla Walla, J. G. Helm,
Pacific, ard one other, Electors.
Democrats Carry Their Point.
An air of expectancy pervaded the
Democratic Convention at the hour of as
pembllng this morning. It was reported
that the Populist conferees had at last
yielded before the firm attitude of the
Democrats for the Democratic name, and
would enter the union convention. The
two-thirds rule was the thing the Peoples
Party really wanted, and would have held
out for to the last Having secured it,
the name was of no Importance. Dem
ocrats greeted one another with happy
smiles, and told each other that it was
all over except the nominations. The
Rogers men appeared In better spirits
than for several days, and It was whis
pered that Pierce County, which was vio
lently opposed to Voorhees, was prepared
to accept Rogers In case of necessity,
and Stevens County was also said to have
swung into line. These reports made a
stir and caused some uneasiness among
tho anti-Rogers people.
When, the coniention was called, to or
der Mr. Godwin, of King, reported that
the conference committee, had agreed
upon the following as the rule of proced
ure for the union convention.
First There shall bo a union conven
tion Second The two-thirds rule shall be
I enforced in the matter of all nominations.
Third The order of business shall pro
vide that all nominations shall be made
in. accordance with the order of candi
dates on tho official ballot with exception
that the four Presidential Electors shall
come last This places the Congressman
first oad Governor second.
Fourth The name shall be the Demo
cratic name.
Fifth Hon. Robert Bridges shall be
Chairman.
Sixth All these conditions must be
agreed to and observed irrevocably.
The announcement that the Democratic
name would bo retained was received hy
tho mass convention with, an uproarious
cheer. The Bridges chairmanship sug
gestion was greeted with a loud chorus
of "noes!" Graves of Spokane, a mem
ber ot the conference committee, said he
disagreed with the Bridges suggestion.
The Graves protest was hailed with
noisy approbation.
O'FerraJ of Pierce, another member o
the conference committee, said that he
and Ferguson pt Spokane disagreed
with the majority as to the order of busi
ness. They wanted the Governor nom
inated first.
Godwin moved that the report be

adopted. There was some confusion. In
the. midst of which Senator Turner, lead
er of the Rogers forces, arose, and sec
onded the motion. This action on the
part of Turner was greeted with a great
shout by tlKi antl-Rogqrs people. One
excited King CQuntymansiproposedthC
cheers for Turner antf they .were given.

ftwo-thlrds rule, and Neterer 6t Yhax.
com to Bridges.
The motion to adopt the conference
committee report was then put, and upon
viva voce vote was declared carried by
the, chair.
The" convention took a recess untir 1
P. M.,, , J .
In the Popnlist Convention.
In the Populist convention this morning
a report that the conference committee
had acceded to the Democratic name
,was received with violent protests on
the prt .of.a minority. Judge Winsor,
of King, wanted to send the committee
back and Insist upon the Peoples Party
name. r
Jonn P. Fay, of King, demanded that
tho convention go ahead and name a
full, ticket.
, The con entlon got into a parliamentary
tangle that took a long time to straight
en out. Then-It was learned that tho
'conference committee had agreed on tho
mme, two-thlrdsrule, and Bridges for
chairman and . tho convention finally
agreed to accept
Union Convention Organized.
At 1 o'clock tho Populists marched In
a body from, their hall to the Armory
andi took the seats provided for them.
The Silver Republicans came In at 2
o'clock and the union convention was at
last together. The great body of 11C0
delegates completely filled the hall, and
there was much trouble in arranging
seats. Robert Bridges was escorted to
the chair and assumed the gavel over
the union convention. Bridges made a
i speech, his reference to Bryan bringing
(forth three rousing cheers. Some enthu
siastic delegate called for "three cheers
'for the flag of the free," which were
'given.
i Tho platform committee retired to con
sider Its report, and the convention
promptly got Into, a squabble as to wheth
er or not It should proceed with the nomi
nation of candidates before the platform
was adopted. The chairman finally arbi
trarily ruled that nominations for two
Congressman" were In order. Another dif
ficulty arose as to whether or not two
candidates should be voted for at one
time. The chair ruled that both should
bo voted for at once. Vance, of Yakima,
protested, and the convpntlon finally de
cided that one Congressman be nominat
ed at a time.
Sutton of Spokane nominated F. C.
Robertson, of Spokane. J. T. Ronald, of
King, was nominated by James H. Lewis.
The anti-Rogers people thought theyhad
caught the Rogers men in a trap. Ron
ald was supposed to bo Invincible, and
the Idea was that Robertson would be
eliminated by his defeat, .and, Thurston
Daniels would be nominated for the sec
ond Congressman. The roll was called
amid great confusion. As the roll-call
proceeded. It was evident that the East
ern Washington delegates were voting
for Robertson. Irrespective of whether
they were Rogers votes or not The final
result was: Robertson, 595: Ronald.
462 1-16; necessary to choice, 705. No nom
ination. The result, or rather lack of
result, was hailed with great enthusiasm
by the Rogers people. Several efforts
were then made to suspend tho rules and
nomlnate,both candidates by acclamation,
but they failed. The detailed vote was:

"The Kansas City declaration does not
denounce the Administration of President
McKlnley for its failures; It condemns it
for its achievements. It declares them
to be destructive of true prosperity and
subversive of our institutions. It de

abolished, and that protection to Ameri

which falsifies every prediction they made
four years ago, and the approval of which
now would refute every claim that thoy
can possibly make for their political re

performed every act to- which It was

which were foreseen four years ago.
