Calls at State Department With Peking Advices. Uncertainty as to the Where abouts and Safety of the In ternational Relief Force. WASHINGTON, Juno 2.-Tlie Chl mw minister hns just received a tele gram from Peking, vin Chin I'u, dated Jane 111, saying that the ministers nnd foreigners in Peking were safe there nnd well and thnt nrrungenicnt were being made to provide theni with nn escort out Vt the city. The Chinese minister rn lied today on the serretnry ot state nnd coininunicntod to him the contents of n dispnteh whieh he has received from the tsiing-ll-ynnien at Peking, ditted on the P.Hh Inst. The dinputi h states that the foreign minis ters had before this date nsked permis sion for the legation guards to enter the city, whieh permission had been granted; that they subsequently asked that these awards be re-enforced, whieh the Chinese pwrerntnent was not disposed to permit. The dispnteh then goes on to state that the consul general lit Tien-tsin supposed to be the French consul general had tele- WU TING FANG. :rra phed to the vici roy of Chi-li that the foreign iiilinirul had demanded the stir :nder of the Tnku forts nnd that the foreign ministers were shortly to leave .."eking for Tien-twin with their guards, The Chinese minister, Mr. Wti, cume o the relief of the news situation this .norning with a dispnteh coming in a oundabout way from I'eUing. The min ster's news appears to have been antiei lated unollieiully, so far ns it relates to he departure of the foreign ministers rom Peking. Hut the importance of his uessuge lies m the fact that It is a week aler in date than any otlicial dispatch vhich hns reached Kurope or America mce the break in the line of communica ion on June 12. The minister says the lispntch reached him from I'eking via iinan Fu, the capitul city of Shiingtuug irovinee. The minister is firmly eou- inced of the accuracy of the statements tmtuincd in his message. Secretary Hay Jto was inclined to credit the dispatch mil was pleased to li nd that it was cor vborntcd by the dispatch of the French oiutul general in rdiaugtuug to his gov mmcnt. There were no other ollieial dvices in cither the state or navy de lartment. The oniy otliernews event. f the morning was the departure of .eneral (. liiiftoe, who had a hmil confer nee with Adjutant General Coibin and hen started for San Francisco, with uldierly exactness, allowing himself just ne hour to cover interruptions in his chediile between Washington and the jriuy transport nt San Francisco. SI. Caiubou, the Freuch embassador, ailed nt the state department just in .dvance of the Chinese minister, but he at) no advices from his own government espeeting the Chinese sit tint ion. General MacArthur untitled the nd utunt general this morning of the de parture of the Ninth infantry for China. Ilespite all reports to the effect that at ast three regiments will be placed nt eneral Chaffee's command. Acting Soc etary Mciklcjohn nnd Adjutant General 'orlriu nsserted today in t lie most posi ive terms that the Ninth infantry are ha only American troops ordered to serv e in China ami that while the Sixth cav rry may go to China in the event that iey are needed their present orders only wry them ns far as Nagasaki. In the ossihle event that peace shall reign in 'hina by tlie time of their nrrival at Na- asakl the Sixth cavalry will proceed to heir original destination in the Philip- ines. It is expected that the transport Grant, jith General Chaffee on board, will nr ive ut Nagasaki about July ''S, wliich cold insure his nrrival at Taku by the ut of August. CONFLICTING REPORTS. (don Itenrl Advices From Fur Kant ns Kiicourimli.u. LONDON, June 27. The cable mes iges from the far east today are so eon ieting in their tenor that almost any esired view of the situation is deducible 'lerefrom. On the whole, however, the .ews is encouraging, and It seeuis snfe i assume that Vice Admiral Seymour tid the legations, whether together or oparntcly, will ultimately reach n place Bnfety. Various eepoets locate the gntioners at divers places, but It seems greed thnt they nre safely nway from Vking. The latest Shanghai report says Prince '.'nan, the head of the Chinese foreign .Iticu nnd fat her of the heir apparent, ius sent the legntioners to Siau-Fu un .Ut escort and adds that Siau-Fu will he the new enpitnl in the event of Peklna being occupied by the international force. Admiral Seymour, It is asserted, sue- reeded in getting a message into Tien-tsin Monday, according to which he wns then eight miles westward, terribly harassed, could only hold nut another two days niul hinl (:t killed nnd over lilt! wounded. He diil not mention the ministers or others from Peking. It Is thought at Shnnghni thnt now thnt Tien-tsin is relieved the combined international forces will have no great ditliculty in reaching Peking, though it Is expected it will be found that nil the for eigners have left already. It is claimed that the reports as to the damage done at Tien-tsin nnd the casual ties among the foreign residents have been highly colored. I he e.Midus of Chinese from Shanghai is unabated. Kvory steamer Is thronged, nnd the authorities have been obliged to ri'sort to the use of the fire hose to pre vent the fugitives from overcrowding the vessels. The commander of the Hellish first class cruiser I'lidaniited. however, has landed large supplies of rilles nnd ammu nition, nud guns have been placed in po sition nt commnniling points, with the result that the foreigners are cotihdetit they can overcome nny attack mi the settlement, into which the foreigners from the out stations nre rapidly congre gating. According to dispatches from Now chwang. the Kussiatis there are barely able to cope with the situation. The Chinese, it appears, are burning all the railroad material, killing isolated Rus sians nt every 'opportunity nnd destroy ing the conl mines. The St. James Gazette expresses the opinion that China is "teaching America the impossibility of n great trading na tion avoiding imperialism," adding: America s experience will teach her it is not the desire to grab distant lands, but unavoidable destiny, that drives Great Hritnin ever forward. Washington has no choice but to protect the im periled American citizens, nnd, having once interfered in China to protect her interests, she will never be able to shake from her shoes the dust of the Celestial empire." A special dispatch from Chefu says: "The tight of the allied forces against the combined Hoxers nud Chinese sol diery barring the road to Tien-tsin open ed nt daybreak. One hundred ami fifty Americans were among the li.lHHI inter national troops. The Chinese soon broke under heavy shelling, nnd the arsenal wns attacked, and the guns were gradual ly silenced. The light was practically over nt noon. "The keen friendly rivalry for the hon or of first entering the city resulted in the Americans and Itritish going in neck and neck, with the others close up." The Canton correspondent of The Daily Telegraph scuds the following, via Hongkong: "It is feared that we are on the eve of n scene of bloodshed and anarchy in the two timings only paralleled during the Taiping rebellion. The signs of a mur derous uprising arc so manifest that wealthy Chinese are hurrying from Can ton mid the vicinity, taking their wives, families and valuables. "Li Hung (tilling has been ugain per emptorily ordered to I'eking. His ene mies declare that they will murder him before he can reach there. His presence alone restrains the revolutionary ele ments here. His departure will let loose the lilack Flags and Ued Girdles. Know ing this, Li's trusted officers are sending their families to Hongkong. "The viceroy himself trusts the Aineri enns in this crisis. He says that they nlone wnnt no territory, and he places himself largely, almost unreservedly, in their hands. At nn important confer ence todny he reiterated this statement. "All the missionaries have been untitled of the imminent peril through confiden tial runners. They nre leaving Canton hurriedly, nnd only a few nre now here. "Commander McLean of the I'nited States steamer Don Juan de Austria is the first here to protect foreign interests. He is capahlo and energetic nnd is re-enforced by her majesty's steamer Itedpole. Two hundred foreign residents at Shu nioen are armed. "The Canton population reaches 2,000,. 0(K, in addition to UoO.OOO living on junks and sampans (fiat bottomed river boats). Most of these people nre disaf fected, nnd incendiary proclamations are Increasing the number of the virulent." - One of Munr Outrniin, VtCTOUIA. B. C, June 27. The Shanghai Mercury says a member of the lfoxers' society who saw the murder of Itev. Mr. Kllis of the London mission nud of a Chinese missionary at Kung Tsun gave the following account of the tragedy: "On the 12th day of the fourth moon the IJoxers, numbering f7, crossed the river Tsz-Tsun and met the two mission aries in n boat. They knew the Chinese was a Christian and nt once attacked him, wounding him with their swords. Then they dragged him out of the boat nnd tied him to n tree nt the riverside. Then Mr. Kllis was tied with him, and Mr. Chno, another Chinese missionary, was bound. His toes and thumbs were bound together, nnd he was carried to a tree nenr where the others were hung up. The arms of the missionaries were cut off, their heads hewn off, and after the bodies had been disemboweled they were cast into the river. The chapel of the mission was demolished, and the crowd went on its way." This was but one of ninny such out rages. The Mnlh Off For I hlnii. MANILA. June 27.

Various Candidates In the Field For President. Most of the States Represented at Opening Session Pre liminary Organization. CHICAGO, June 27. The national convention of the Prohibition party met today in the First regiment armory, Six teenth street and Michigan avenue. Of the 1,1 KM delegates who were entitled to scuts in the national convention more than three-fourths were in attendance when Chairman Oliver W. Stewart of the national executive committee called the convention to order this morning, nud it is expected that that by tomorrow, when the nominations for president and vice president will be made, nearly a thousand representatives of the party will be present to take part ill the choos ing of the national leaders. Nearly all of the eastern nnd central western states had full delegations present, the ab sentees in most instances being from southern nnd Pacific coast states. Three avowed candidates for the pres idential nomination are in the field John G. Woolley of Chicago, editor of The New Voice and a prominent pint form ad vocate of the cause of prohibition; Hale Johnson of Newton, Ills., and ltev. Silas C. Swallow of Harrishurg. The latter has a high reputation us a pulpit orator and has many supporters among the del egates from the eastern states. Friends of Mr. Woolley expressed themselves as being confident of his nomination on the third or fourth ballot, claiming for him the almost solid support of the Michigan, Wisconsin. Maryland. Missouri and e braska delegates, a majority of votes of New York. Kansas, California and Ohio delegates and half of the vote of Illinois. Last night Mr. Woolley was also assured of the support of the Delaware delega tion, a representative of that delegation asking to be allowed to place Mr. Wool ley in nomination. This, according to Mr. Woolley' partisans, practically as sures him the nomination. For llale Johnson, the votes of North and South Dai.ota dclcj.'ntious solid, a majority from Minnesota lind half of Illi nois, besides scattering votes from other states were assured. A majority of Un votes of the New Kngland states, Colo rado, Pennsylvania and Indiana delega tions were claimed, the Indiana delegates desiring the nomination for president of an eastern man on account of the vice presidential boom for Felix F. McWhir ter of Indianapolis. For vice president, besides Profitisor M.cWhirter. Henry B. Metcalf of Rhode Island. W. B. Witheispoon of Alabama nnd W. W. Smith of New York, nre can didates. The vice presidential nomina tion, however, will probably be governed entirely by the result of the balloting for president, the nomination of a western man being almost certain to result in the choice of nn eastern man for second place on the ticket nnd vice versn. Nearly 2,r0O Prohibitionists, including the delegates to the national convention nnd to the state convention which met here yesterday, gathered nt the Palmer House nnd mnrched through the down town streets to the First regiment ar mory. Previous to the parade the recep tion committee had met Joshua Lovcrlug of Baltimore, Prohibition candidate for the presidency in l'.lSO, who arrived this morning, and escorted him to the Palmer House. It wns exnetly 10:1(0 this morning when Chairman Stewart of the national com mittee rapped for order. At that time nearly all the delegates were iu their seats, while the galleries surrounding the big drillroom of the First regiment was filled with spectators. Just previous to the fall of the gavel the delegates from the New Kngland states marched into the hall iu a body, each delegate carrying u canteen with the letters "U. S." inverted nnd bearing the legend "Antiintiteen." They were liberally ap plauded. After the convention hud come to order Chairman Stewart proceeded to deliver his formal address. Chairman Stewart then introduced Dr. John H. Hill of Chictigo, who delivered a lengthy address of welcome. Several members of the first Prohibition conven tion, which was held iu Chicago in lSitf), were in the hall, some of them ns dele gates, mid nt Dr. Hill's reipiest they were escorted to the platform. Chairman Stewart then announced temporary officers as follows: Chairman, Samuel Dickie of Michigan; secretary, A. K. Wilson of Chicago; assistants. Colonel Jellis of Tennessee nud E. B. Sutton of Idaho. Chairman Dickie made a brief speech, outlining the work to be done by the convention. Dr. UnalliiH In I.Ike Ilnrkls. PITTSBl'RG. June 27. The Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow of Harrisburg passed through Pittsburg on his way to Chicago lo attend the prohibition national con vention. Concerning his candidacy, ho said: "The Prohibition party is cer tainly stronger than it was four years ugo. I look for an increased vote all over the country. The stand that the administration has taken iu behalf of the army canteen will be of great aid to the Prohibition party. I am not seeking the nomination for president, but if it is tendered me I shall accept. 1 will re ceive my greatest support in Hie conven tion from my own state, middle nud east ern states."

Well, the senate elections commit tee decided with unexpected unanimity to hoist Mr. Clark from his seat and send him back to Montana. Our noble eolons In the senate have considerable patience with big pursed men and cor porations, but they can't be expected to tolerate a fellow who hns set such an outrageous scale of prices on legis lative votes thnt no ordinary million aire can afford to buy a senatorial sent. A few more Clarks would ruin the business. Venango Spectator. Judge Love, who sits on the bench In Centre county part of the time, but spends most of his days mannging Boss Quay's machine, recently made a rank decision in a bunk case In which Gov ernor Hastings wns Interested. The supreme court reversed Judge Love and gave him a terrible scoring, declar ing that his decree "does not rest on either reason or authority;" thnt there "is no evidence worthy the nnme to sustnln the finding," and that the law controlling the Issue was laid down 75 years ago. No common pleas Judge ever received a more staggering re buke or one more deserved. But such must be the fate of the political Judge. Governor Stone has presented a splendid example of government out side of the constitution. His appoint ment of Quay, nbsolutely without au thority and In direct violation of the constitution of the state, received a Just rebuke from the Fnited States senate In the rejection of Quay. His veto of a constitutional amendment, for the purpose of continuing In oper ation an Infamously corrupt registra tion and ballot system, by which he secured his own election, has met with the unanimous condemnation from the supreme court of the state, as a usur pation of power unprecedented in the history of the gubernatorial office. Meadvllle Advocate. There is foolish talk of our going to war with the sultan to settle mission ary claims amounting to $100,000. As the sultan Jointly with President Mc Kinley exercises suzerainty over the Sulu Islands, would It not be a good plan to have him bring an influence to bear on the sultan of Sulu, so that he will give up the pension of $5,000 a year that McKinley has granted him, conditional on our not going to war with Turkey on the $100,000 claim? This would be 5 per cent on the Amer ican claim against Turkey, and on the whole would be a good operation. Be sides it would relieve our pious pres ident of nny connection with the twin evils of slavery and polygamy on the Sulu islands. Pittsburg Post. The Republicans are making an np peal for the Confederate vote by start Ing pensioning the leaders In the re bellion who were educated at West Point by the government. It used to be one of their stock inventions that the Democrats if in power would do this sort of thing. Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, on Thursday intro duced in the senate a bill to pension Lieutenant General Longstreet, one of the best of Lee's fighting generals, at the rate of $50 a month for services in the regular army during the Mexican war. General Longstreet has been well taken care of since he united himself with the Republican party after the close of the war In reconstruction times, having held federal office when ever the Republicans were in power. He is now commtslsoner of railroads, succeeding General Wade Hampton who held the office under Cleveland Its salary is $5,000 a year, and it is gen erally considered one of the nicest pickups in the federal service. Why a pension when General Longstreet holds such a lucrative position? Pittsburg Post. I left the Republican party In 189G because of its adoption of a platform favoring the gold standard. I predict ed then that it would follow it up by establishing by law a gold standard If It came into power. This it has done adding to it a provision that will prac tically destroy the greenback and treasury note, and turn over to the banks the sole issue of paper money in the United States. The financial ques tion Is not settled by the passage of what Is called the currency act, and I believe that will bo a question of American politics until such time as we shall secure a proper bimetallic system. If I had not left the Republi can party in 1896 I certainly should have left it on the passage of the gold standard bill of the present session. If Mr. Bryan Is nominated on a plat form recognizing the financial plank of the Chicago platform of 1S9G, and I have no doubt he will be, I shall give him my hearty support. I believe he has a very much better chance for suc cess now tfaan he had in the contest ot 1896. I thfnk the American people have become better acquainted with his character, and none but fanatics be lieve there will be any danger In his election. Personally, I have a high regard for Mr. Bryan, both as to his moral qualities and his great ability. I may not agree with him on some views, but he Is honest, nnd if elected will make a president that will not be controlled by cliques or caucuses or combines or trusts. Cenator Heury M. Teller.
