A dispatch to the HerM from Ctie Foo, July 21, says that the captain of a liritish steamer who has just arrived from New Chwamr, teports that ttiere arrived there on Thursday a Chinaman professing to be a foreigner's servant who escaped from Pekiu on the 12th, on which date the British legation wa9 destroyed and' the foreigners butchered.

Khricli, of Colorado Springs, Colo , and John F. Pitts, of Cincinnati. Mr. Pitts is of the national democratic campaign club, and he claims many accessions to the ranks of the organization. He told Mr. Bryan ttiat the irustquestion wtsau important one, and on this issuu he would make great L'ains. He said tlio democratic tiaveling men proposed to establish headquarters in every city of importance in the count r v. Mr. Ehrich, who ih the Colorado mem ber of the anti-imperialistic leatii-e, called to tell of the progress being made in the West.

Chairman Babcock, of the republican congressional committee, after a somewhat extended tour of the East and Middle West, says that the situation, na far aa the national ticket is concerned, ia entirely satisfac tory, and that McKinley will poll at least as large a vote aa he had four yeara a no. He s-iys the republicans seem to he equally contented with the democratic ticket and platform, which he considers the best tiiat could have been named to strengthen the republican cause. Mr. Babcock ia more apprehensive about the congressional campaign, for while the gold democrats will support thn national republican ticket, many of them will tlesert ttie sound-money party on congressional issues, and for local offices. In order to retain control of the nest House, ho says, every republican should vole. While this ia a discourag outlook which the republicans must face, it is yet the fact, and the sooner they get to work the better. Attention is called to the fact that many states, such as New York and Pennsylvania, which will uive their electoral vote to McKinley, have a large number of democratic rep resentatives in congress, which, added to the Solid South, makes the prospect au thing but bright for the republicans and proves that the carrying of the na tional campaign does not necessarily mean success in the congressional fight."
