Now that tho Republicans have chosen all their candidates, it is time for the Democrats who want offices to step out boldly and tell the voters who they are and what they want. The Republican aspirants set a good ex ample by usiog columns of newspaper space in their campaign, and oven those who have been defeated ha/e achieved prestigo and notoriety which will un doubtedly prove benoliclal to them at some future day. Newspaper advertising Is as legitimate In polities as in any other trade or pro fession, and tho more of it that is done the more people will know of those who appeal for support at the polls, and the bettor tickets should be named as a result of the additional Information so disseminated. Candidates for public office, especially in a county like Luzerne, can no longer consider themselves sure of being chosen to a place on tho tickot by visiting the principal towns of their field and there meeting the hangers-on at a few public houses. A man in politics nowadays is ex pected to have hie merits, his qualifica tions and his claims to offico presented to the people through tho public press. The candidate who does this systema tically and intelligently will, whon all other factors entering into tho contest aro equal, win the approval and support of the voters. Thore is a certain shyness and coy ness noticeablo about the men who would not object to having thoir names printed In the Democratic column of tho official ballot next fall. This is not as it should be. If they want tho offico and consider themselves capablo to perform tho required duties, why wait and negloct tho opportunities to make themselves known to tho people. It is not good business, nor good politics. What is tho matter with the officers of the Hoard of Trade issuing a call for a meeting of all who associated them selves with the organization? We believe this Is an opportuno time to reorganize. The town is feeling tho need of the Board of Trade. While in existence the body did excellent work, and tho in dustries they succeeded in establishing have proved thcmsolves good support to both the Investors and tho laboring people. Call a meeting and lot the work of building up the town be taken hold of again with the spirit that was mani fested a few years ago. From the manner in which tho noml- j nations made by the Democratic nation al convention have boon received throughout the country, It appears that tho presidential camp&igu will be con ducted in a inoro dispassionate manner than the contest of four years ago. In 189G nothing was omitted which would havo a tendency to incite passion, anger, fear and jealousy, but that sort of politics was overdone by tho Republi cans, and a more intelligent discussion of the merits of the men and their principles will be the rule hereafter. Now that the next president has been nominated, Democrats should keep their eye on the men who want to go to congress. It looks like an old-fashioned sweep this year, and Bryan's hands will be tied unless a congross In sympathy with him is chosen. Adiai E. Stevenson is the only man ovor nominated for vice prosidont who had previously demonstrated his fitness for tho office by serving one torm thore- MR. TOWNE'S PLANS. He Will Wot mt Present Make Them Pnlilio. Lincoln, Nob., July 9. —No formal nn nouncoment will 1H made by Charles A. Towue of his decision in regard to the Populist nomination for the vice presi dency until the Populist committee gives him formal notification of his nomina tion. This will be in about ten days. Mr. Towne said yesterday that he would make public his decision at that time and would issue an address giving his rea sons for the action he takes. What that action would be he refused to say. "But my course is perfectly clear now," Mr. Towne added. "I have already talked the matter over with several Populist leaders." Senator .T. Iv. Jones of Arkansas, chair man of the Democratic national commit tee, arrived here from Kansas City Sun day evening and held an extended confer ence with William J. Bryan, Charles A. Towne and George Fred Williams. In talking about the vice presidential situa tion Senator Jones said he hoped and be lieved that in case Mr. Towne withdrew his name as a Populist candidate for the vice presidency the national committee of that party would indorse the Demo cratic ticket. Mr. Towne spent Sunday with Mr. Bryan, taking dinner with him, and later, in a party which included ex-Congress man Ilartman of Montana and George Fred Williams of Massachusetts, drove out to Mr. Bryan's farm. TROOPS GO TO CHINA. Admiral Kempff Notified—Cipher Dla pntch From the Admiral. Washington, July 9.—Two dispatches relating to the Chinese situation and one concerning the Oregon were received by the navy department yesterday. Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackctt would pot see reporters at his home last night, lie sent word by a servant that there was no news. In response to a specific inquiry as to the Oregon dispatch and the two relating to the Chinese troubles he said through the servant that he had gone to bed and had nothing to give to the press. One of the dispatches was from Ad miral Kotnpff, the American naval com mander at Taku. It was quite long and was in cipher. This message was trans mitted by telegram to the president at Canton. Admiral Remey must have arrived at Taku in the Brooklyn yesterday, as he arrived on Saturday at Chefu and tele graphed that he would proceed imme diately to Taku, 50 miles distant. He re lieved Admiral Kempff of the command of the American squadron on his arrival. Admiral Kempff will remain at Taku as second in command. He has been noti fied that the 0,200 troops Saturday plac ed under orders for the east will be sent to Chiua instead of the Philippines. Depnty United State* Marshal Killed. Lexington, Ky., July 9.—A fight be tween Deputy United Stntes Marshal ,T. Howard Wilson and William Stamper on one side and Tipton Day and a man named Bush on the other occurred at Mariha, in Menifee county. Marshal Wilson had gone to Mnriba to arrest Day, who was wanted at Cumberland Gap on the chnrge of highway robbery and murder. Day was found at Bush's home, and when the errand of the offi cers became known he drew a pistol and began firing. Wilson and Stumper were taken somewhat by surprise, but, retir ing, defended themselves until Wilson fell dead. Stampor continued the fire, and both Bush and Day were wounded. Day is thought to be mortally wounded. Removal of Troops I'leane* Cuban*. Huvaua, July 9.—The orders for the removal of a large number of troops from Cuba recently issued have been gladly welcomed by the Cubans, and General Wood is in receipt of many letters from various municipalities offering thanks for what tiiey call his disposition to trust the Cubans and declaring that the entire island is in a state of absolute tranquilli ty. The Tenth infantry, it is believed, will leave the island shortly after the de parture of the regiments now under or ders to proceed home. General Wood will probably pay a short visit to the United States, leaving on Saturday next. A Year's Import* at Manila. Washington, July 9.—The division of customs and insular affairs, war depart ment, has made public nil interesting statement showing the total imports at the port of Manila for the calendar year 1899. Merchandise to the value of $17,- 450,412 was imported during the year, which with $109,905 in gold and $1,141,- 392 in silver coin brings the total impor tations for 1899 to $18.701,409. Of this amount $1,887,090 worth entered free of duty. All imports of merchandise were brought in foreign vessels and entered for inmieditc consumption.

Two of the furnaces are at West Leba non, two at Cornwall and one at North Cornwall. The cause stated for the stop page of operations is the removal of the large steel works of the Lackawanna company froin Scranton to Buffalo and the existing war over railroad rates for lake ore.

MINISTER MAT NOW BE DEAD. He Describe* the Situation at Pe king at Beginning of the Revolt and TellM of Hl* Attompt* to Avert the Trouble, Washington, July 9.—The last China mail to reach the state department brought the report of Minister Conger, perhaps the last that will ever come to hand. This bears date of Peking, May 21. It is of the utmost importance, dis closing as It does a full comprehension on ths part of the foreign ministers in Pe king of the churacter and extent of the Boxer uprising, even though Mr. Conger himself by disposition optimistic found ■ome reason to hope that the worst was over at that date. What Mr. Conger has to any as to the attitude of the Chinese government to ward the Boxer movement as revealed in the formal interchange that took place between himself and the tsung-li-ynmcn Is not only of peculiar Interest now, but probably will have a strong bearing on the final reckoning that must be had be tween the civilized nations und the Chi nese. The letter of Minister Conger reads as follows: "Sir—l have the honor to confirm on the overleuf my cipher telegram of today. "In response to the request of the French minister the dean culled a meet ing of the diplomatic corps yesterday, und upon information furnished iu n let ter from the Catholic bishop in Peking and verbal reports by the other minis ters the situation was considered so grave that the corps unanimously in structed the denn to present it to the tsung-li-ynmon und demand immediate and effective measures, which he did to day by the note, a copy of which Is in closed. "I also Inclose copies of the bishop's letter aud one from Rev. Mr. Killio, nn American missionary who lives in Pe king, but travels a circuit to the north and east. Interview With T*nng-11->nnu>n. "On the 18th inst., during nn extend ed personal interview with the tsuug-li yameu, 1 called their attention to the fact that, notwithstanding constant warnings from this and other legations, the Boxers had continually increased and spread until now they are boldly or ganizing Inside the wall of Peking, the existence of thousands is known in the villages around Peking, Christian con verts are being persecuted and threaten ed everywhere, many forced to recant their religious professions, and some have been compelled to abandon their chapels and come to Peking for safety. "I said: 'At a London mission near Chou-chow, 40 miles west of Peking, two native Christians have been killed and their chapel destroyed. Near Paotlng fu a Catholic village has been destroyed and (31 Christians murdered, some of them being burned alive. The foreign gov ernments cannot longer sit idly by and witness tliis persecution and murder. I can only speuk for my own government, but it is becoming very impatient over China's continued treaty violation. It always has been nnd still is the good friend of China nnd only wishes it pros perity, but is now more than ever deter mined to sustain the treaty rights of all American citizens and of the Christian converts, and it will hold the Chinese government to the strictest responsibility for every treaty infraction in this regard. It will do this not only for the benefit of its own citizens, but in the interest of China herself, whose government is now sadly threatened by these lawless organ izations. At present, it is true, they seem to have no cupnhle lender, but should one arise and the populace become really inflamed the overthrow of the present dynasty is inost likely to follow nnd possibly the destruction of the em pire,' etc. "They replied that I did not under stand the many difficulties under which they labored, but they had succeeded in suppressing the Boxers in the province of Shangtung and would do so here. "I told them I saw no effective meas ures whatever being put forth. They re plied that the movement had not hereto fore been looked upon seriously, but that now the throne was fully aware of the gravity of the situation and thiit n recent confidential decree had been sent to the viceroy, the Peking and neighboring offi cials which would surely prove effective, suppress the Boxers ami restore order. A Chinese Bluff. "I told them that the most alarming telegrums were being sent to the newspa pers of Europe nnd America of the exist ing state of anarchy here nnd that the people of the world would be forced to believe that the government of China whh either abetting these murderous brig ands or that it was too weak to suppress or control them, aud its good name and credit must suffer irretrievably in conse quence. After rending me the decree, which was much like those heretofore published, they asked if I would not wire my government that they could nnd were suppressing the Boxers. "I replied that at present I would not; that I had been for six months telegraph ing the issunnce of ineffective decrees, but If they would show me the fact by actual and immediate repression, which they could if they would, in three days I would gladly and quickly wire It to my government. "They assured me that sufficient troops had been sent to the disturbed districts to restore order and afford protection. "I again told them that restored order would be the only possible proof. 1 also said that unless the situation was reliev ed and the threatening danger from mobs averted I should be compelled to ask for a sufficient guard of Americun marines to insure the safety of the legation. "They said: 'Oh, don't do that! It is unnecessary.' And again promising en ergetic actiou the interview closed. "Unless some euergetic action is tnken the situation will become fraught with great dunger to all foreigners, not from any Intelligent or organized attacks, but from ignorant and inflamed mob violence. I, however, believe, as I said in my tele gram, that the government is aronaed, Itself alarmed at the situation, and will take more energetic action, hut no one can he certain of this until it is done. "Since the Wheeling had left Tahli al ready I deemed it irudent to ask the ad miral for the presence of another war vessel, and, responding to the request, Admiral Kempff with the Newark snlled hither from Yokohainn on the lDth iust and should arrive soon." CRIME RAMPANT AT NOME. Cnflatterlaic Account of I.lfe In Now Mlnlnft Re*ort. San Francisco, July 9.—According to a letter Just received here, crime is ram pant at Cape Nome. This writer, who is F. C. Graves, a proapoctor, says there is an average of three or four suicides a day and that murder is an everyday oc currence. Thousands, he states, are cleaning up fortunes In the camp, but many of those who went illy provided with money will find graves in the north. He writes: "They are paying stevedores $1 an hour, und everybody can get a job, but of course all are not able to stand that kind of work. Prices are about five times as high as they are in Frisco, the cheapest things being drinks at 25 cents each. Po tatoes are worth 20 cents a pound, and oranges whieh can be bought for 10 or 15 cents a dozen iu California cost $1 a dozen here. Coffee and two eggs ure worth 75 cents. Bread costs 25 cents a loaf, und pies are 50 cents apiece. "Still, everything is not prosperity here by any meuns. Suicides are occurring at the rate of three or four a day, and mur ders are almost daily occurrences. One poor fellow who came up with us was killed the first night he struck Nome. He tried to prevent n friend from getting stnhlxMl nnd got the knife himself. He had S3OO in his clothes when killed. The undertaker took S2OO, the man who made the coffin SOO und the man who dug the grave the remainder. "There seems to be about 25,000 people here, and Main street is densely crowded. They are panning out gold right along Main street. I am going to return to Sun Francisco, as I prefer that place.*' BASEBALL SCORES. Result* of Yesterday** Dante* In the Different Leavnen.

Foreigners In Peking Were Then Alive. BOXES ATTAOKB HAD STOPPED. Official Declaration by Con*nl* la Shanghai—Prince Chlng Said to Hare Started Coanter Revolution Against Prince Tnan,< London, July o.—Foreign legations and missionaries In Peking were safe on Wednesday, July 4, and the Chinese had ceased their attacks. This is the report that comes from the consuls at Bhnnghni. The only fear felt in Peking at that time, according to the report, was regarding the food supplies. This statement of the consuls, read with Consul Warren's dispatch to the foreign office Saturday, makes it possible to believe that the legations will hold out for a number of days. Having fought to a standstill the tirst outbursts of fanatic al fury, it is believable that something may intervene to save them. The Shanghai correspondent of The Express, however, throws doubt upon Consul Warren's information. He says: "Taotai Sheng now admits that there was an error In his communication to Warreu. The date of the courier's ar rival at Chiiian-fti was July 3. which does not apply to his departure from Peking. The journey from Peking to Chinnu-fu occupies live days. The courier there; fore could not have left Peking later than June 28. The date of the mnssacre there, as given by Chinese reports, was June 30 or July 1." Courier** Queer Story. The courier mentioned in Consul War ren's dispatch gives a strange picture, says The Daily Mail's Shanghai corre spondent. of how life jostles death in Pe king. Business apparently goes on as usual. The shops and theaters are open, und the streets are filled with people. No imperial troops except those of General Tung Fuh Siang took part in the fight ing. They did more looting. The courier even asserts that provi sions are being supplied to the legations, but by whom he does not say. The Box ers and General Tung Fuh Siang do not get along well. The Boxers assert that they do all the fighting and the latter's men all the looting and nothing else. According to a dispatch from Shanghai to Brussels, a high Chinese official states that the two legations whieh were still holding out on July 3 were the object of incessant attacks. There had been some losses among the troops guarding the le gations, hut the diplomats were snfe. Genernl Yuan Shi Kni, governor of Shangtung, a correspondent of The Daily Mail avers, predicts that by July 11 the Boxers will disband and negotiations will he begun for peace. Nevertheless cir cumstantial rumors of dark things to come are in circulation. Several correspondents at St. Peters burg send out telegrams to the effect that Russia. Japan and England agreu as to their policy in China, their interests dom inating there. LI Hnng Chang:'* Appeal, The Times this morning says: "We learn from n private message from Canton that Li Hung ('hang has tele graphed direct to the Chinese minister in London urging him to request the British government to approach the United States government with a view to a joint invitation to Japan to co-operate in the maintenance of the Chinese empire and the establishment of a strong government on n solid hnsis, the three then uniting in an appeal for the support of all the other powers." The Dally Telegraph's Clinton corre spondent, wiring Friday, via Hongkong Saturday, says: "Li Hung Chang was formally notified today that President McKinley cordially appreciates his assurances of friendship for the nllied powers.. Now tlist anarchy controls the capital President McKinley trusts to the provincial authorities to carry out the international obligations of the Chinese government." Wale*' AMnnllniit Hncnpcn. Brussels, July I).—The Etoile Beige is authority for the statement that Jean Baptiste Sipido. the youth who fired at the Prince of Wales on April 4 as the train hearing his royal highness was leav ing the northern station in this city for Copenhagen, has eluded the police and that he has fled to Paris.
