THE BELIEF START TO THE RES CUE OF ADMIRAL SEIHOCB Who Is Reported to be Surrounded ad Hard Pressed by a Great Force of Boxers mid Chines Regalars Ibe Street of Tie Tsin Strewn With Bodies of Massacred Men and Women or All nationalities. London, June 26.-1:28 p. m. The ex clusive dispatch of the Associated Press from Che Foo, giving Rear Ad miral Kempff's authoritative announce ment of the relief of Tien Tsin June 23d, remained for hours the sole news of this occurrence of world-wide im portance. At about 1 o'clock the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank's London branch received confirmation of the news, and at about the same time Mr. Dawson, a delegate from Singapore to the Congress of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, now in session here, lnform ?d his fellow-delegates, amid loud cheering, that he had just received a dispatch from his son, announcing the relief of Tien Tsin. The news reached Berlin later from the German consul at Che Foo, who announced that the relief column en tered Tien Tsin during the afternoon of June 23d and started again on June 24th to relieve Vice-Admiral Seymour, who, with the foreign Ministers, was said to be occupying a position twelve and a half miles from Tien Tain, where he was surrounded and hard pressed by a great force of Boxers and Chinese regulars. Possibly the Japanese report that Seymour is a prisoner and that the Ministers had left Pekin, guarded by Chinese soldiers, is merely a dis torted version of the Berlin story. But in any event news may be expected speedily, and it is confidently believed here that Seymour and his companions will be safely delivered from their plight. According to the report of a Chinese refugee, who has arrived at Shanghai, the condition of Tien Tsin is horrible. Everywhere in the streets are the bodies of massacred men and women, Americans as well as all other national ities. The Hong-Kong and German banks, he adds, were both destroyed early during the bombardment. Shanghai aiso reports that the American-Russian relief force was so badly ambuscaded that the force were obliged to abandon several field guns and much ammunition. About 130 Russians and eleven Americans were killed or wounded. The German gunboat litis and a Rus sian torpedo boat destroyer are patroll ing the Pei-Ho river and raking, with machine guns, the native villages on the river banks, which were filled with concealed "snipers." A dispatch to the Associated Press from Canton says that city remains auiet, but the female missionaries from the outlying districts are coming in, owing to the warnings of native Chris tians. The missionary hospitals are being deserted by the students and servants. Although it is officially said at Canton that Li Hung Chang will not go to Pekin, he continues his preparations for his departure. A telegram from the Governor of Kaio Chou. dated June 25th, which has reached Berlin, announces that, ac cording to reports from vnlnese sources, Vice-Admiral Seymour's force has reached Pekin. This is probably merely a reiteration of the previous re ports on the same subject. AMBKICANS I H THE FIGHT Followed by (he llrltlsh Troops on Entering Tien Tain aud Breaking Throngh the Chinese Lines. (Copyright, 1900. The Associated Press.) Che Foo. June 26. The Americans and British entered Tien Tsin, first silencing the guns of the arsenal and breaking through the Chinese lines. The foreigners were close behind. The Russians lost foul killed and thirty wounded. The losses of the other nationalities were small. Admiral Seymour's force is about ten miles from Tien Tsin. It is surrounded by Chinese troops and "Boxers" and ham pered by the presence of sick and wound ed It is reported that all foreigners were sent from Pekin with a weak Chinese guard, and it is assumed that they are with Admiral Seymour. One thousand Japanese are landing at laku, and 2000 more are expected to-morrow, when a battalion of French is also due. TROOP. WELCOMED By Great Britain to Act at Once for tbe Suppression of Ihe Disturbance in China. London, June 26. Replying to a ques tion of Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, con servative member for the Ecclosall division of Sheffield, in the house of Commons to-day as to whether the British Government will arrange with Japan as the only power able to act without delay, to send an adequate land force to China, Mr. A. J. Balfour, the First Lord of the Treasury and government leader, said it was un desirable to outline the nature of the negotiations in this connection. But, he added, Her Majesty's government Will welcome the dispatch of troops by any power which, owing to the prox imity of its troops, may be able to act at once for the suppression of the dis turbances in China. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. George J. Goschen, admitted that ow ing to the absence of the senior Brit ish Admiral, the Russian admiral was the head of the international forces on the waters. The Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign Office, Mr. William St. John Brodrick, in reply to a question said: ,rWe have no direct information from the legations or Admiral Seymour's force or from Tien Tsin. Our last In formation from the officer 'In charge at Wel-Hal-Wei is that 3000 of the force for the relief of Tien Tsin was encamped within nine miles . of Tien TBin on the evening of June 23d. From Drivate, creditable sources we are In formed that the relief force subse quently entered Tien Tsin and rnarch JS north, and that the legations wer. not harmed up to June 20th. W tarneitl bope this is true. -- "ALIIBCRT'S IUFFlXtLTU The Brill n Premier Face tm Faeo I With Three Wars on Bis Hands at the Rune Tina. London, June 27. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was the guest of the Lord Mayor; A. J. Newton, and the bankers and merchants of the city at Mansion House this even ing, speaking of the difficulties facing a Chancellor who found three wars in South Africa, China and Ashantl on his hands at the same time, said: "It is difficult to know what are the scope and nature of the work before us In China. We cannot tell yet what were the precise immediate reasons for this furious outbreak. We do not know how far It -extends or will extend, nor can we tell what are the relations of the Chinese Government with those who at any rate, In the first instance, appeared to be rebels against the authorities. "It is easy to see, however, that the first duty before the powers, among whom I am glad to recognise the United States and Japan, is to rescue and defend their legations and subjects and to exact re paration for injury to life and property, as well as to see that such things do not occur again. "Since the war between China and Ja pan it has been fashionable to regard China as a plum, to be divided among the powers, provided the powers do not quar rel among themselves. I doubt whether any one among us would advance that view; and it has never been the view of Her Mapesty's present government, which has always desired that there should be a stable government in China. At the present time I believe this view is to be held by all the powers.' THE BOXEK MOVEMENT. Germany nml I ng land Blamed for not ItecogniKing lis Dangerous Character Before. Berlin, June 27. Herr Eugen Wolff, In the Berliner Tageblatt, publishes a powerful article regarding China, drawn from intimate and very recent acquaintances with the land and Its people. He gives a history of the Boxer movement and blames Germany and England for not recognizing its dangerous character during the last two years. He says that the French Minister in Pekin, M. Pinchon, alone energetically forced the Empress Dow ager to remove Que Shen from the Gov ernorship of Shan Tung, Que Shen hav ing been appointed, although the Em press knew that he was the founder of the Boxers. Herr Wolff declares the truth of the rumors that the Empress has become a drunkard and is often in a state of irresponsibility. He also asserts that she has been hoodwinked into believing that the Boxers only mean to oust the foreigners and have no designs upon the Manchu dynasty. He contends that the powers must force the imperial court to remain in Pekin and compel the Empress to stay there under the control of the powers. At the same time he regards it as of the highest Importance that the Tsung Li Yamen be thoroughly reformed and be devel oped into an actual foreign office, clothed with authority enabling it to enforce its mandates. He also advo cates direct dealings between the pro vincial Governors and the representa tives of the powers. REAFFIRMED THE CHICAGO PLATFORM. Little Rock, Ark., June 27. When the Democratic State Convention reas sembled to-day, the report of the com mittee on platform and resolutions sub mitted by Congressman T. C. McRae, was adopted. The platform reaffirmed the Chicago declaration of 1896, favora strict observance of the Monroe doc trine, declared for government con struction and ownership of the Nicara guan canal; denounces trusts; con demns the "death dealing policy of the Republican administration in the Phil ippines, and demands national legis lation against trusts. Former Govern or James P. Clark was selected nation al committeeman without opposition. Senator James K. Jones, Senator J. H. Berry, former Governor Clark, and Hon. Jeff. Davis, were elected dele-gates-at-large to the Kansas City con vention. Resolutions Instructing the delegation to vote for D. B. Hill for Vice-President were withdrawn. ADMIRAL SEYMOUR IS HARD PRESSED. Berlin, June 27. The German consul at Che Foo confirms the contents of the messages from Vice-Admiral Seymour, which reached Tien Tsin Monday, say ing he was then eight miles westward of that city, terribly harassed, could only hold out another two days and had sixty-three men killed and over two hundred wounded, and adds that the Admiral asked for the dispatch of a relief column of 2000 men. This col umn left Tien Tsin during the morning ot June 25th under Russian command. London, June 27. The British consul it Amoy telegraphs this morning that the Europeans at Pekin are reported to be safe. HIE NATIONAL PROHIBITIONISTS Chicago, June 27. The Prohibition party will make its national campaign this year upon a platform of a single issue the liquor traffic all other issues being subordinated to this one question. Upon this platform it is probable that either Rev. S. C. Swallow, the "fighting parson," of Harrisburg, Pa., or John G. Woolley, of Chicago, editor of the New Voice, the Prohibition national or gan, will be nominated for President. The National Convention of the party met here to-day and in three sessions, morning, afternoon and evening, clear ed up all business except the nomina tions for President and Vice-President, which will be made to-morrow morn ing. The convention in point of num bers and in enthusiasm shown is con sidered one of the greatest ever held by he advocates of cold water. T -l-The Italian armored Borne.

KtUU PLAHRIlia TO TAKE ni HSios or pehii. be Foreigners SnH fader Britten Leadership The Freis;n Ministers si Admiral Seymour Believed to t Held as II !- Russia's Con- (Copyright, 1900. the Associated Press.) Che Foo, June 26. The officers of the British first-class cruiser Terrible as sert that discord exists between the Russians and Anglo-Americans and say they believe the Russians are planning to break the concert and take posses sion of Pekin independently. They as sert that Vice-Admiral Seymour's command lacked unison, the foreigners sulking because they were under Brit ish leadership. They bitterly denounce the Russians' general conduct as un civilized and barbarous, and charge that the slaughter of peaceful China men at Taku has aroused the other wise passive natives against the for signers. The foreigners everywhere are urg ing the immediate concentration of an army of J.00,000 men, or at least &0.00 men for an advance on Pekin. Many persons familiar with the Chinese character, think the foreign Ministers and Vice Admiral Seymour are held as hostages- for good terms of settlement. They also believe the whols Chinese army is joining in the move ment, under the leadership if Tung Fu Hisiang, who crushed the Mohamme dan rebellion. Recently he was nomi nally degraded for the purpose of or ganizing an anti-foreign uprising quiet ly. It is estimated that 60,000 soldiers, well armed, but poorly disciplined are south of Pekin and Tien Tsin. The Chinese officers boast that they Lave 400,000 soldiers. Admiral Seymour's force carried & week's rations and the men had an average of 150 rounds of ammunition. The Russian's conduct at Taku, ac cording to the other officers, inflamed the natives. The Russians are report ed to have been shooting the Chinese indiscriminately and driving away the peaceful Chinese, who would have pro cured transportation and provisions, and of looting the town. A great naval demonstration at all the treaty ports is also said to be desirable, in order to influence the wavering Chinese merchants who are friendly to foreigners. The masses are becoming excited at the reports of their countrymen's suc cess against the powers. Merchant men arriving here report that the Boxers are drilling inr the streets of New Chwang, and that when the officials inspected the soldiers with the view of suppressing the Boxers, they found the soldiers had sold their rifles and equip ments to the Boxers. The military school at Moukden is re ported to have been destroyed. The British consul at Foo Chow is asking for warships. The arrival of the British first class cruiser Terrible and two Japanese cruisers at Che Foo to day, relieved the strained situation. Two Chinese forts, equipped with Krupp guns, command the foreign city. The only protection was the United States gunboat Yorktown with 150 sail ors. As an outbreak was reported last night, the sailors slept on their arms, and the foreigners prepared to take refuge on the ships. Commander E. D. Taussig, of the Yorktown, requested the commander of the forts to cease his disquieting man oeuvres with cannon, and notified him that if Chinese troops were sent to the city ostensibly to repress the Boxers, Americans would be landed. There are about 150 Americans and British missionaries at Che Foo. They are short of money and clothes, hav ing left their stations hastily. United States Consul John Fowler's ship is expected to bring fifty mis sionaries and French priests from the mouth of Yellow river whither they are flocking from the interior. The qprr.mander of the Chinese cruis er Hei-Hal at Chen Chovr offered Mr. Fowler to go to the relief of the mis sionaries at Yang Che Kiang, if as sured of protection. It is reported that the Russians are moving 30,000 men toward New Chwang. Washington, June 26. The offlcialti here received with regret and concern the reports from Che Foo that discord existed between the Russians and the so-called Anglo-Americans. Coming from the officers of the Terrible, it is considered as largely "sailor talk." At the same time it has been recognized from the outset that such a hetero geneous force gave opportunities for serious division, as it is well known that the sailors and soldiers of certain countries do not like to serve under British commanders, and that British sailors and soldiers have the same dis inclination to take orders from a for eign superior. But It has been hoped that the peril of the moment would lead all differences to be sunk in order that a common purpose might be ex ecuted against a common enemy. One of the chief dangers apprehended has been the foreigners would separate into factions, not only reducing their power against the Chinese, but opening up the more serious possibility of an inter national breach between the forces of the foreign powers. Besides this, it is felt here that the Russian authorities, always sensitive, will qdlckly resent this imputation of barbarism and cruelty-. The officials here accept these charges with great allowance, and they particularly express their displeasure at having the Americans brought into an apparent disruption with the forces of another power. Thus far the United States has acted concurrently with all the powers, with no one more than any other, and the authorities here will use every effort to control and prevent bickerings and back bitings. THE ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS. Little Rock. Ark., June 25 The Demo cratic State Convention to-day nominated the following partial State ticket: Gov ernor, Jeff. Davis: Secretary of State. John W.

D It VI ION IS THE dOCTl to Important Keport nssnltfdi ad Ihe eellns- of IBs Capon Springs Conference. Capon Springs, W. Vs., June 27. The third session of the Capon Springs Con ference on Education in the South was opened to-day in the presence of a dis tinguished sudience of Northern and Southern educstors. and other public spirited men and women, among whom were President W. L Wilson, of Wash ington and Lee University; Colonel C. E. Vawter. of the Miller Industrial School; Professor and Mrs. A. H. Tuttle, of the University of Virginia; Hon. J. L. M. Cur ry, of Washington; R. Felton Cutting, E. H. Wheeler, of New York, and Herbert Welsh, of Philadelphia. An Important re port wan made by the field agent of the conference on changing conditions and changed requirements of educational works in the South. This report empha sized the fact that interest In education is rapidly increasing throughout the South, and cited instances showing that in parts of Georgia, North Carolina sn other States vast improvements have bees made by superintendents who have studied local conditions and adapted to them the latest modern methods. Dr. Curry. Mr. Welsh and the Rev. Lyman Ward, of Camp Hill., Ala., also made ad dresses. At the evening session addresses were made by Colonel C. E. Vawters, of the Miller Manual Training School of Vir ginia, and by Miss Smith, of Randolph Macon College. SMIIAL MOftEK A NF.rl BLICAN Noted Ex-Confederate Wrilss a Loiter ts Boosexela, New York, June 26. Governor Roose velt to-day received a letter of con gratulation on his nomination for Vice President from General Thomas L Rosser. of Virginia, the well-known ex Confederate leader, in which the latter announces his conversion to Republi canism. The letter says: "I have hitherto been an earnest worker in the ranks of the Democratic party, but circumstances and condi tions have so changed that I cannot affiliate with it any longer. I naturally came out of the great war of the sixties prejudiced, and it was easy to believe all the charges of evil that were made against the party which I had antag onized as a soldier. As a boy I was not a secessionist, but in the fierce and bitter fight that followed, I became thoroughly saturated with sts venom. "When war was declared against Spain in 1898 the fear that my country was in danger passed through me like an electric spark, clearing my vision and revealing the follies behind which I had been sulking. That the South is unanimous In its political opposition to the North cannot satisfactorily be as cribed. In my mind, to a difference in primary belief, but is founded solely on a blind prejudice which all candid, loyal citizens should spurn. If the North can prosper, and it does, under Republican administration, the South should blush to admit that she cannot do the same, for she has equal op portunities. To say that Republicans alone are dishonest and that Democrats alone are honest Is foul blackguard ism. "I most heartily approve the admin istration of President McKinley and shall do all In my power to insure his election to the high office he now holds. Fully approving your political and ad miring your military record, I rejoice personally and congratulate our coun try In securing your services as our Vice-President." Baltimore Sun. THE PRESIDENT TO VISIT HIS OHIO HOME. Washington, June 27. The President, Mrs. McKinley and party will leave for Canton, Ohio, Friday, June 29th, at 7:45 p. m. The President will be accom panied by Dr. Rixey, Secretary Cortel you and Assistant Secretary Barnes. Only the most important matters will be transmitted to Canton, and while the President will be at all times in direct communication with the White House and members of the Cabinet, he will be relieved as much as possible of matters which should properly be dis posed of in Washington. TO PURCHASE THE IMPROVED SUBMARINE BOAT. Washington, June 27. The Board of Naval Construction has decided to re commend to the Navy Department the purchase of the submarine torpedo boat known as the "Improved Holland," the disposition of which was left open by Secretary Long when he bought the Holland. This last order has no effect upon the previous action of the De partment in deciding to build the five submarine boats provided for in the last act of Congress. CANVASSING THE RETURNS. Jackson, Miss., June 27. The Demo cratic State Executive Committee, sit ting to-day as a returning board to canvass the vote cast at the plurality primary held last Thursday to select delegates to the National Convention at Kansas City, declared Governor Longino, Senator Money, Colonel R. H. Henry and General W. D. Cameron elected from the State at large. Sen ator Sullivan was defeated by 552 votes. A resolution providing for an investiga tion on the rumored frauds and irregu larities in Warren county was tabled, as no formal charges were preferred. t THE GEORGIA DISASTER. r 'Atlanta, Ga., June 27 One body, the last of the unidentified from the Mc Donough wreck, is at an undertaking establishment In this city. When it reached Atlanta it was marked Elder W. H. Jonson. of the Mormon Church In Utah, but nobody claimed the body. To-day a Mormon elder, passing through Atlanta, said the body might be that of Elder Bennison, of Chattanooga. The body is that of a man 85 years of age, dark and brown moustache. The body will be held sev ral days. A DEMAND FOR NAVAL OFFICERS Washington. June 27. To meet the pressing demand of Admiral Remey for officers for the ships of fleet, it is ex pected that Secretary Long will have recourse to the authority conferred by Congress upon him in the matter of en listing the services of retired officers. Inquiries already are being made to learn where officers may be withdrawn for sea service from inspection, and semi-scientific duties. Their places will fc t&Jten by retired officers.

Washington. June 27 The develop ments of the day respecting China were important and interesting. The Chinese Minister's report of the de parture of the Foreign Ministers and their guards from Pekin greatly re lieved the officials here, who took it as the first tangible evidence that the Im perial Chinese Government had a full realisation of the enormity of permit ting the Ministers to come to personal harm, and were thus undertaking as far as lay in their power to observe the amenities of International ex change. The keenest interest is shown by the officials to learn the conditions under which the Ministers left Pekin. The Chinese Minister's dispatch was ominously silent on that point, snd al though the Minister maintains almost obstinately his confidence In the non existence of a stat of war, it Is gen erally admitted that It will be difficult to accept his conclusion if it shall transpire that the Pekin government has Itself sent the Ministers away with their passports, or what may come to the same thing, with a guard as safe conduct. At the State Department it Is said that If it shall be explained that ths Imperial Government did this, not with a purpose of rupturing diplomatic rela tions, but simply to ensure the safety of the Ministers, which they were una ble to guarantee as long as they re mained in Pekin, then there is still ground for an understanding. It Is, however, pointed out that in such case the self-confessed inability of the Im perial Government to maintain peace and order at the capital, would amount to an admission of its utter failure as a government and would leave China is a state worse than that of actual war. In either event, it now appears to the satisfaction of the oflii ials that there was absolute justification for such in tervention as we have offered in China. Notice has come to the Governmenl that the cable companies have again reopened communication telegraphical ly with Taku and Che Foo. This ar rangement has been made by means of the Russian telegraphic system con necting with the Siberian railroad sys tem. An European agent has managed to reopen the lines, though the means of communication between Che Foo and Taku and Tien Tsin are tortuous and probably precarious. The War Department officials Insist that no orders have gone forward to send more troops to China than the Ninth Regiment, now on its way from Manila, and the Sixth Cavalry, which will sail from Kan Francisco next Sun day for ixagasaki and perhaps Taku. It is said that these two organizations and the marines now on Chinese soil General Chaffee will have the full bri gade to which his rank entitles him. Rumors of withdrawals of troops from Cuba are said to be the probable basis for the persistent statements that more soldiers have been ordered ts China. It la admitted that two regi ments will aoun be ordered to ths United States from Cuba, the particular organizations being designated by Gen eral Wood, but they simply wlli take the place in home garrisons of regi ments of regulars, which will go out to Manila to relieve volunteer organisa tions therp. THE INTRUDERS MUST LEAVE. Washington, June 27 Colonel James H. Randlett, agent for the Kiowa, Commanche and Apache Indiana of Oklahoma, is in Washington conferring with the Commissioner of Indian Af fairs and the Secretary of the Interior In regard to Intruders upon ths reser vation recent ceded to the United States. Colonel Randlett said to-day that these trespassers number about 3000 and exceeded the Indian popula tion. Order will be issued at once ts compel the intruders to leave ths ceded lands. If they fall to do this within ten days the military forces St Fort Sill, Oklahoma, will be called upon for aid. JAPAN TO lACnSASE EgZR ARMY. Yokohama, Japan, June 27. The con sent of the Emperor to the expendi ture of 60,000,000 yen, not fifteen million, as previously cabled, towards the cost of military operations In China was given at a meeting of the Privy Coun cil, at which the Emperor was present. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Finance explained the situation, pointed out the need of mors troops, and the former said the money would be drawn from the reserve fund. TO DISINFECT CHINESE QUAR TERS. New York, June 27. The Board of Health has decided to thoroughly dis infect the Chinese quarters In Man hattan.
