Great Exodus ot Chinese Shanghai Continues. From Protestant Mission Burned at kain by Rebels. Weis- HOSTILITY TOWARD CHRISTIANS IN KOREA ENCE OF A -ROUGH PARTY EXPERI OF BNGI- NEERS WHO TRAVELED FROM INTERIOR TO PEKIN. Washington, June 27. The following from Admiral Kempff was received this afternoon: "Chefoo, Jure 27. Peidn force artd ministers repoi'ed with Pe kin relief expedition intrenched eight miles from Tien Tsin." This despatch to the navy depart me, stating that the foreign ministers had left Pekin safely is interpretel by officials to mean that the foreign min isters and foreign marines sent to Pe kin to guard the legations, inciud'ng 58 Americans, and comprising 310 men, are with the much harrassed relief col umn of about, two thousand men un der Admiral Seymour, which Kempff locates at a point eight miles from Tien Tsin intrenched against a superior force of Chinese. The foreign force which relieved Tien Tsin left for that place June 24 to succor Seymour and must by this time have effected , a junction with him unless defeated. - ATTITUDE! OF OUR NAVY. Newport, June 27. It is believed here that the naval policy board at its ses sion, which Dewey is attending, is giv ing much attention to the Chinese question. SEYMOUR'S PERIL. London, June 28. The news from China continues unreliable. The relief of Tien Tsin still remains a fully au thenticated fact. The reports of Sey mour's perilous position are regarded as so probable that hardly a doubt is cast on them here. Nevertheless it may not be inappropriate to recall how rumors of slaughter and destruction in Tien Tsin were accepted without question for days, but are now beginning to be discredited as based on exaggerations. Nothing further has been reported concerning the force which it is stated left Tien Tsin at dawn Monday to re lieve Seymour, except a Shanghai re port that it is meeting with opposition, but has been reinforced. COMMUNICATION WITH SEYMOUR London, June 27. A special from Shanghai last evening says communi cation with Seymour was opened by the Tien Tsin relief force Sunday. Sey mour was at that time ten miles from Tien Tsin. Three hundred members of his party are reported sick and wound ed. Only a few have been killed. The party is short of provisions and is re turning withouthaving rescued the le gations . A special from Chefoo says: "The fight of the. allied forces against the combined boxers and Chinese soldiers barring the road to Tien Tsin opened at daybreak- There were 150 Ameri cans among the 2,000 international troops. The Chinese soon broke under heavy shelling and then the arsenal was attacked ana the guns gradually silenced. The fight was practically over at noon. The keen friendly rival ry for the honor of first entering Tien Tsin rested with the Americans with the others close up." The latest Shanghai report says ign office and father of the heir ap parent, sent legationers to Slan Fu for safety and adds that Sian Fu will be the new capital in the event of Pekin 'being occupied by the international forces.

The Chi nese, it appears, are burning all rail roads, killing Russians at every oppor tunity and destroying property. Shanghai, June 27. A German paper unconfirmed statement to the nat Seymour is eight miles from Tien Tsin with 62 killed and 200 wound ed. Paris, June 27. The French consul at Shanghai telegraphs that the allied troops have entered Tien Tsin. He states that the foreign ministers have departed from Pekin north accompan ied by a Chinese escort. CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION. Washington, June 27. In well-informed diplomatic circles the news that ioreign ministers have left Pekin for the north, under a Chinese escort, is re garaea with some apprehension. It is presumed of course that the escort le composed of imperial troops, but a feel ing of unrest is induced by the evident ract that, in the present circumstances even the imperial troops are not abso l.ltvl T A LL 1 - im-ciy lu ue irusiea. indications are abundant that they, too, are imbued with the anti-foreign sentimen't, which nas round Its open exponent in Boxers. While no fear is expressed tnat 'the personal eafetv of the dlnln ma'tic representatives of foreign govern ments is endangered, the informatiton is conveyed that they may be held as hostages. If this should oe true the troops accompanying them would be rather a guard than an escort. CHINESE LEAVING SHANGHAI. London, June 27. A cauie says: ine exiodus of Chinese from Shanghai is unaoated. Every steamer is throng ed and the authorities hav been oblig ed to resort to the use of troops to pre vent tne rugitives from overcrowding: the vessels. The commander of the British first-class U idauted hcwever, has landed large supplies of rifles and ammunition and guns have been placed in position at commanding points with the result 'that the foreisraers are cton fident thev can overcome any attack on the settlement, into which the foreign ers rrom the out stations are rapidly congregating. According to a despatch from New Chang the Russians nre barely able to cope with the situation. The Chinese, it appears .are burning all tne railroads, killing iinted Russians ? every opportunity and destroying the coal mines. The St. James Gazette expresses the opinion that China is teaching America the impossibility of a great trading na ton avoidiner imnerfaHsm MISSION BURNED AT WEISKEIN. London, June 27. A despatch from Tien Tsin dated yesterday says that the Protestant mission at Welhsien was burned dbwn by rebels Monday night last. HOSTILITY IN KORcJA. Yokohama, June 27. It Is reported in Seoul that there is increasing hostility towards Christians 'n Korea. Korea, it is said, repudiates the land contract which gave to Russia a site for a coal depot and a naval heaaquarters, as Russia wished to apply ,the price to the amount of the pending claims against Korea FOUGHT THEIR WAY TO PEKIN. Victoria, June 27. Advices received by the empress or- India give graphic details of the escape from Pekiri and Tien Tsin of foreigners. Of all the fugi tives to reach the coast none had a harder fight for .their lives than the American, French and Belgian engi neers, who were surrounded by the Boxers at Peng Tai, the terminus of the railway that was run to Hankow. When the Boxers attacked the sta tion and the machine shops, the engi neers barricaded themselves in the machine shops and held the Chinese off for some time. They had several wo men with them, wives of some of them. These women loaded the men's1 rifle belts and otherwise assisted to repel the Boxers. Soon, though, the foreign ers found .their position untenable, as some of the Chinese had rushed In the shops and set fire to a part of the building. They ran. for it, fighting their way through the Boxers. When they had got through the Boxers' lines, (Continued on fifth page.)

THE PLATFORM. The platform adopted reaffirms the platform adopted by the democrats in Chicago in 1896; denounces the adminis tration of McKinley as the weakest In the history of the naition, and condemns the "cowering attitude of the president and his advisers in refusing consolation and sympathy to the heroic Boers in their struggle for the independence of the Transvaal and Orange Free State republics, and we invoke public con demnation of an administrative nolicv which denies to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines the principle of home rule and self-government and seeks the subjugation of a free and enlightened people for the glory of an Imperial pol icy, revolting to our traditions and a defiance to the principles of our fed eral constitution:' denounces the cur rency law passed by the present con gress, which proposes to permanently establish the gold standard in this country in place of the bimetallic standard of the constitution and which transfers to the national banks the en tire control of the paper currency, thus laying a foundation for a money trust. which will have power to control the prices of all property and to stimulate or strengthen business; expresses hor ror at the attempt of England to re auce tne south African republics to subjugation, and declares sympathy for the Boers; denounces imperialism; denounces the Porto Rican tariff bill; regards with apprehension the doctrine advocated by the republican adminis tration that this nation should in Its dealing or diplomacy, show partiality toward or enter into entangling al liances with any European nations; and demands that not only existing laws against combinations in restraint of trade be rigidly enforced, but be lieving that protective tariffs and rail way discriminations have been and still are the chief supporters of monopolies favors the removal of duties from all imports monopolized by trusts; de mands the repeal of all laws giving spe- ial privileges to any person, class, lo- WISDOM CARR : ; DISTRIBUTORS, - r- H Gonth Uala Streets : caity or interest; declares opposition to all sumptuary laws.

The backbone of the great building trades strike in this city is broken. It is now only a ques tion of hours when the fifty thousand workmen who have been idle for many months wLi be arranging agreements for their return to work. The initial move for ending the lock out! was taken at 2:15 o'clock this morning by the bricklayer and stone masons' union, the strongest labor or ganization in the building- trades. trades council. The council was no tified this morning of the withdrawal of the bricklayers. The arbitration committee of the bricklayers met the arbitrators of the Chicago Masons and Builders association and signed a work ing agreement to extend to April. 1902. The bricklayers will immediatelv be given work. The structural iron workers, gas fit ters, plumbers, plasterers and hod car riers union have been on the verge of quitting the trades council for over a week. They will now. in all rvroha- bility, follow the course of the brick layers. POWERS RELEASED. His Attorneys Successful With Habeas Corpus Proceedings- Harlan Court House, Ky., June 27. Ca.pt. John Powers, of Barboursville, who was arrested here yesterday on the charge of complicity in the murder of Goebel, was today released. His at torneys instituted habeas corpus pro ceedings, and after a hearing before County Judge Cornett, Powers pro duced a pardon signed by Governor Taylor on March 6,. 1900, offering it as a bar to prosecution and arrest. Judge Cornett honored the pardon and Pow ers was ordered released from custody. This is the second time Powers has been arrested on the same charge in the mountain counties of Kentucky and released on Governor Taylor's par-' don. The former trial took place in Knox county. Capt. Powers is a brother of Secretary of State Caleb Powers, who is now being held in jail at George town on the same charge. AMNESTY ACCEPTED Manila, June 27. General MacAr- 27.

Application of '"Indivisible" Clause to This Provision. Hon. V. S. Lusk Discnsses an Impor tant Matter for Voters. WHAT INSTRUCTIONS BY A LEG ISLATURE TO COURTS AS TO HOW THEY SHALL CONSTRUE LAWS ARE WORTH A CONFESS ED RECOGNITION OF THE IL LEGALITY OF THE LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENT'. If the constitutional amendment is to be considered in the nature of a menace to human liberty in the state, then the amendment to the amendment, pro posed by the extra session of the legis lature, is more to be dreaded than the original amendment with all the dire possibilities incidental to the grand father clause. They provide in the amendment M now framed for the "ab rogation of the Vlth article of the ex isting state constitution as follows: "That article 6 of tbe constitution of North Carolina, be and thg sme is hereby abrogated." 0 Abrogate in the English languagS means to "abolish, repeal, annul." This Vlth article in our constitution is the law that secures our right to vote. Repeal it and every voter in the state' will be disfranchised or will lose his right to vote. The proposed amend ment as it now stands proposes to re peal all of this article (article 6) and to re-enact it with the modifications pre scribed in the proposed amendment. The constitution prescribes only two methods for amending the same. One of these methods, and the one mostly resorted to, because it is the safest, is by a convention of the people, called by a concurrent vote of two thirds of all the members of the general assembly and not then unless by a majority vote of all the qualified .voters in the state, to whom the question of "Convention" and "No Convention" shall first be sub mitted. The other method provides that "No part of the constitution of the state shall be altered unless a bill to alter the same shall have been agreed to by three-fifths of each house of the general assembly. And that the amend ment or amendments so agreed, to, shall be submitted at the next general elec tion to the qualified voters of the whole state, in such manner as may be pre scribed by law. And in the event of their adoption by a majority of all the votes cast, such amendments shall be come a part of the constitution of the state." The former method, by convention, is ithe usual and safest method of amend- S - 11 1 m J 1 1 9 m nig tut; organic law or tne J ana, DUt as our late legislature did not seem to con cern itself very much Sfbout observing ancient methods of our forefathers re specting the organic law, they resorted to the method most congenial to their inclinations and adopted the legislative method, submitting the proposition to a vote of the people under the provisions of an unjust and partisan election law. However, there can be no question that the proposed plan of submitting the present amendment is regular, and under the constitution it only requires a majority of all the votes to make It the law of the land.
