BRYAN AND IMPERIALISM-
W
, July 27.—It is again reported that the
foreigners who have been beseiged in Pekin are on their
way from that city to 'Fein Tsin. The story is believed to
be a ruse of the Chinese government to claim that the le-
gationers were escorted out under protection of the govern-
ment, but that the forces of the boxers overpowered the
I escort • on the way and murdered them. Such a ruso, if
carried out would exonerate the government.

The missionaries located at Pao Ting are reported

The mission at Amoy, about which some anxiety lias
been felt, is reported to be safe.
A messenger from Pekin brings a report
that the soldiers of Prince Tung have been
those of Prince Ching. The report further states that
foreigners are defending themselves iu the cathedral.

L incoln , Nebraska, July 27.—The outline of the speech
to be made by William Jennings Bryan at Indianapolis
upon his official notification of nomination for the presi
dency has been given out.
Mr Bryan will recognize imperialism as the paramount
issue, in the same uncertain tone as outlined in the na
tional platform. While the monetary question will not
down so long as Mr Bryan feels himself to be its cham
pion, the status of the national legislature makes.it impos
sible to successfully bring this question to the front for
several years. On the other hand imperialism confronts
the people of the United States as never before, and is a
living issue fraught with the gravest issues and results,
and on this will the man and party stand.
