Sixteen Oiitlsh marines, leconnolterlng In ad vance of the International column marching to Pekln, fought and chased two thousand "Boxers," Monday, kill tag twenty or thirty. A correspondent accompanying the column, in n dis patch dated Tlen-Tsln, June 12, via Shanghai, June 12, C.15 a. m., says: "While the working parties, accom ganled by a patrol of sixteen British t&arlnes, commanded by Major John nm, were repairing the lino Monday afternoon, eight miles beyond Tofa. tteey encountered small parties of Koxers,' who were destroying the line. The 'Boxers' moved away from the nd vtinced marines and apparently dis persed Into the country, leaving the rails moved and tho sleepers burning. "The marines, when two miles In flrst of thr train near Lang Fang, Biiadcnly tercelvcd Boxers streaming ttom a village on their left. It was estimated that flhey numbered two thousand, some of them being mount ed, and they were trying to get be tween the marines and t o train. Most of them were armed wl spears nnd swords. A few had fir rms, which they handled awkwardly. "The marines retreated, peeping up a running fight for over a mile and killing between twenty and thlity Boxors. "The Boxers pursued the British for some distance. Then, seeing more ma rines from the train coming to their .assistance, Major Johnson's sixteen (halted, nnd poured a heavy continuous 'fire into the crowd, driving them across the front of the lelnforclng blue Jack ets, who punished the Boxers severly with Maxims. "The Boxers fled and the Huropenns following up their success cleared out' the villages. Tho total los of the Boxers Is estimated at 40 killed nnd wounded. Seven of their wounded were attended by British surgeons. The British loss was nothing. "Unless their loss causes the Boxers to lose heart the International column will have much trouble before It reach es Pekln. The railway Is so much damaged that the column covered only 34 miles Sunday and Monday, and thero Is reason to fear that the road beyond Is more badly damaged, "Evidences of General NIeh's opera tions were found In headless bodies. Tho whole country presents a desolate aspect, entire villages having been de serted.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY AGAIN DECLINES Ho Would Not Yoke Up -with Mr. Bryan or Any Othor Candidato for an Office. Philadelphia, Juno 12. The Times, tomorrow will say editorially: "Tho name of Rear Admiral Schley has been repeatedly suggested as In the list from which the Democrats would be likely to choose their candidate for president or vice president, but nil who know the vl'ws of Rear Admiral Schley uniformly declare that such use ot his name was not only unwar ranted but against his own distinctly expressed wishes and purposes. Ho was specially careful before going to sea In command of the South Atlantic squadron to declare to his friends that under no circumstances would be con fent to become a political candidate. "Notwithstanding the publicity, given these lepeatcd and emphatic declarations of Rear Admiral Schley, he has been frequently discussed as a candidate for the vie, presidency on the ticket with Bryar, The expres sion from, the rear adi.llral of refusal to accept public office has just been repeated by him In a private letter to the editor of the Times, dated Rio Janeiro, May 15, fiom which the fol lowing extract Is taken: " 'Your editorials touching the talk of placing me In nomination with Mr. Bryan reflect precisely what my views are. I krow nothing ot polities nor of political life, and under no circum stances would I allow the use of my name before nny convention for any office whatever. I have passed the ago when presidential or any other kind of bees worry mo. 1 know noth ing of lb, duties of any political of fice and am fully content to live the years yet left me in quiet retirement from tho turmoil of any office. I am resolved irrevocably not to accept any 'nomination It It were tendered and if In my absence I should bo elected I would not serve.' "This letter from Rear Admiral Schley was wiitten without any view of publication and In nil the frankness of trusting friendship, but It Is only an act ot justice to him that his views thus clearly and pointedly expressed should be known to the whole coun try."

CONVENTION ASPECT IN PHILADELPHIA LARGE NUMBER OF VISITORS ALREADY ON THE GROUND. Prominent National Committeemen and Delegates Arrive Question of Reprosontation Is Liable to Come Up Today Rhode Island Delega tion Has Prepared a Substitute for the Payne Resolution McKinley'a Picture Appears Everywhere Philadelphia, June 12. This city is rapidly taking on a national conven tion aspect. Quite a large number of national committeemen nnd delegatot arrived today and the hotels are be ginning to fill up. Prominent among the national committeemen now on the ground aro Frederick S, Glbbs, of New York; Ambassador Powell Clayton, Ar kansas; John W. Yetkes, of Kentucky; L. F. Hubbard, of Minnesota. Nenly nil tho other members of the national committee are expected to morrow to attend the meeting which Is called for noon. Chairman Hanri Is due nt 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon The old question of representation In Republican convention which agitated tins national committee at Its meeting In Washington last December Is more than likely to come to the front at the national commltee meeting tomnriow. The resolution of Henry C Payne of Wisconsin, presented nt last winte.'s meeting, nnd which was withdrawn before It was put to a vote, will again be pressed, but not by Its author. The strongest supporters of the Payne measure come from Now England. Colonel Charles H. Brayton, national committeeman from Rhode Island, who is also chairman of the Rhode Island delegation, will make a strong effort to have the representation dimmed. Henry E. Tlepke, commissioner ot industrial statistics of Rhode Island, who will be Colonel Brayton's proxy In tomorrow's meeting, said tonight that ho will endeavor to carry out the colonel's wishes. Committeeman Brayton, ho said, has been In commu nication with the national committee men of all the states and his leplies Include more than twenty who favor the Payne resolution. This resolution provides for four delegates-at-laige for each state and an additional dele gate for every 10,000 Republican votes, or majority fraction therof, based on the returns of the last presidential election. Substitute for Payno Resolution. The Rhode Island delegation has pre pared a substitute for the Payne reso lution and will present it in place ot the Payne resolution If they find that tho sentiment In favor of the latter Is not strong enough to put In through the committee. It Is claimed that tho substitute will meet all the objections of a majority of the national commit teemen. The substitute is as follows: When as, The present basis of repiesentatlon In Republican national contention is based upon the representation off the setcral states and tct ritories in the congrem of the United States which under existing political conditions is imnlfestly unjust and inequitable, and. Whereas, The leprtuntatlon In congress now accorded to the seteral states of the Union on tho basis of article xt, fccetion two, of tho constitution, ought to be modifcd, to that in etery state wherein the light to tote is de nied to any male inhabitants thereof being '21 jears of age nnd citizens of the United States or wherein said right is in an ttaj abridged, ex cept for participation In rebellion or other crime, representation in congress, nnd in the electoril college and in the contention of the Republican party shall be reduced In the pro portion which the number of mile rltlrens so depritcd of the right of sulTrage hliall lear to the whole number of mile citizens, 21 jtars old, in said state; therefore. Ittsolted, That the Republican national com mittee recommend that if the ltepublif.ui pirty Is continued in control of congress, it IntoVe and cxirclsr the power of congress gianted by aitlelo Nit, wctieti lite, to enforce by appro priate legislation the objections of this resolu tion and be it further Resolted, That the holdlig of a national Re publican contention in 1POI composed of dele Rules representing the lUpuMlcm toting strength and sentiment of the countrt- elected upon a jut and equitable bals of repiesentatlon is not onl) ot paramount importance to the pirty but to the nation as well. The meeting of the national committee tcmorrow will be detoted largely to the hearing of contests from th a rious states It Is not belleted tint the com inltteo will finish this part of its work in mo daj. The sub-committee of the national committee held another meeting today behind closed doors, and according to the chairman, Mr. Manley, nothing but routine business was considered, The convention hall will be formally transferred to the national committee tomorrow afternoon, although the set-geant-at-arms will not assume abso lute control of the hall until Saturday or probably Monday morning. Invita tions have been extended by tho citi zens' convention committee to Sena tor Hanna, the members of the na tional committee and a number of In vited guests to Inspect the hall. Speeches will be made by Mayor Ash bridge and several others of the visit ors. President McKlnley's picture is be ginning to appear on every hand, al though the presidential nomination Is seldom mentioned by the throngs. The vice-presidential gossip, however, Is taking a wide range. The nnmes of many prominent men throughout tho country are mentioned as possibilities. So far thero has been no concentration of forces here on nny one man and there probably will not bo until tho national committee gets together. Dolaware Differences, Tho rival claimants In the long standing Delaware fight were the most conspicuous of the contestants around the hotel corridors tonight. J. Ed ward Addlcks, the lender of tho "Union Hepubllenns." opened headquarters In an office building near national head quarters. He said he was satisfied that his delegation would be seated. H. 13. Thompson, who stands in the forefront of the "Ilegulnr Republi cans," was unperturbed by Mr. Ad dlcks' assertion. He said that his peo ple won in 1893 when tho conditions were exactly similar.

We have been too remote and our latent rower has been too great to be attacked, or even made the subject ot serious diplomatic aggiession bj Uuiopean states singly or in combination. As to anj expansion of our dominions, it has netcr been assertid by the most adtcrse critic of our institutions that the cause ot civilization and human ficedom would not be thereby pro moted. 1 think It can be tafcly Fild that they who once threatened intervention between the United States and .Spiin abandoned that desire very quickly lifter the momentous events of Manila and anthgo and will ncter again entertain the deign of a similar intru-ion under any cir euni'.tances that ttc can now imagine I belicte that these victories hate done more to asurc the peace of the world than all ot the alllinces and Intirnitlonil conceits which have bein i fleeted thinner, the last Ally jears.

CIVIL SETTLEMENT OF SOUTH AFRICA English Government Decides Upon a Plan Transvaal and Orange River to Bocorne Crown Colonies. London, June 12. It Is learned by tho Associated Pi ess that the gov ernment has at last decided upon a Tlan for the civil settlement of South Aft lea. The details ate kept most se cret, but It can safely be said that the Orange Itiver colony nnd the Trans vaal will become crown colonies, the latter probably being renamed the Transvaal colony. Sir Alfred MllnOr, II Is declared, is to be high commis sioner of South Africa, In spite of tho opposition ho has Incuned. The crown colony form of government can best be understood by leference to the sys tem In vogue in the West Indies, Sier ra, Leone and Ceylon. Endeavors will be made to put this In force as soon as possible In thu Ttnnsvual and Or ange Itiver colonies, though It Is scarcely expected that the details will be announced or some parts of tho work be begun for n few months. While the civil settlement will bo drawn up so as to be eventually In dependent of mllltaiy enforcement It Is realized that the Initial work must be effected with the co-operation of the troops. The colonial ofllco Is ald to be of the opinion, however that the maintenance of good sized garrisons nt such centres ns Hloemfont'eln, Kroonstad, Johannesburg nnd Pretoila will be necessary for a long time after tho crown colony system gets in work ing order. For this reason and others put forward by Sir Alfred Mllner, the Idea of granting an autonomous form of government hns bten abandoned. Founder of Vineland Dead. Vinelnnd, . J . June 12 Charles K.
