In the House of Commons thls afternoon Right -Hon. William St. T. -Broderick, under secre tary of. State for foreign affairs, said flint information from China left no doubt that Admiral Seymour's force- had been extricated from its perilous posi tion and had returned to Tien Tin. The government received a telegram "June 24th from Admiral Seymour, say ing he had seized a . small arsenal nort h of Tien Tsin, ami was being bombarded by a large number of guns. He sent an urgent note for relief. He said he had lost about forty kilted ami seventy wounded. News brought by a servant of a lega tion who was thoroughly trustworthy was to the effect that the foreign settle ment" at Tien Tsin had been shelled from June 18 to Tune 23. The damage was comparatively slight except in the case of the French concession, which differed severely, and the British con sulate, which was greatly knocked alout. The British casualties were four killed Jind fifty wounded. Among the latter were six-officers. There was no news of the 1-i.rations and he was unaware of the course Ad miral Seymour intends to take.

On being asked if he thought the Boxers would be quickly suppressed, he said that in his opinion the iowe;-s had started in upon a lom: ami bloody con flict. In the end the Boxers will he disbanded, he said, but the sacrifice 'of life will be appalling, for the move ment is spreading like wildfire. The southern Boxers will, ho says, .ioin the north, and vast molis -of fatnati -s will have to be contended with. Enormous quantities of arms were being constantly smurreded to them, and owing to the vast territory covered they can for sometime defy the whole world. General Stahl added that the hostility between Japan and Kussia is a serious complication in the present crisis and will interefore -' with the unanimity of feeling among -the powers which is .! most absolutely !?eeosary f i . this time.

MINOR ROWING EVENTS Freshmen and Four Oared Rare Won by Harvard The Itecord or Races Between the I'nlverslty Crews Shows Thirteen Victories for Yale and Seven for Harvard Roth Beaten by Cornell in Two Races. New London, Tune 28. Yale's 'Var sity eight defeated the Harvard crow in splendid form on the Thames this afternoon, crossing the finish lines eight 'lengths ahead of the crimson. The dis tance was four miles and the official time of Yale, 21:12 2-."; Harvard, 21 :27 2-5. Harvard, however, wen the two minor rowing events, the four-oared race by two lengths and the Freshman two-mile contest by seven lengths. In the 'Varsity eight race, Harding, the stroke of Harvard, who took Cap lain Iligginson's place, did not give out as was feared, but was in very bad shape at the linish, and undoubtedly this accounts for the : ween the crews as great Yale disi ance crossed Le the line. Harvard led at the start by half a length. She pulled1 slightly away from Yale and led by a length at the half mile, rowing splendidly. She was still holding the lead .as they passed the mile, but after the three mile mark was passed Yale held the lead to the end. The time of the four-oared race, won by Harvard by two lengths, was: Har vard, . V.:'S2; Yale, L-.. The two mile race between the Freshmen crews, won by Harvard, was rowed over a rough course, there being a strong wind at the time. Harvard won easily by seven lentglhs. the time being 12:Ul for Harvard and 12:10 for Vale. The crews were on even terms at the half-mile, but at that point Vale got out of her course and Harvard pulled steadily away. Large and more than enthusiastic crowds of tie' collegians admirers witnessed the struggles of the crews Today, and were very demonstrative over tne result. A more pkturesque assemblage has never thronged the banks of the Thames.- New I .omloo will ha a gai t nigui m cc t... bration of the victories. Tins was the twenty-second meeting of the 'Varsity eights of Yale and Har vard and the twentieth to be held on this course. Yah' came to the starting point with a 'record of twelve races won an i Harvard with seven victories to lcr v red it. The .tAvo c lieges have rjwed inirial races with eights since 1.S70. As far back as 1S."2 the two had met in races with other colleges in fours and sixes. The first eight-oared contest in which Harvard ami Yale participated took place at Springfield in 1S70. Yale won tin :!:. defeating Harvard oy .u sec onds. In 1S77 a race was rowed over the same course. Harvard taking the victory in 24 :'': eight seconds ahead of Yale. Beginning with the year lS7Sthe two met on the Thames annually until ISIm;. when, as a result of the disturbed athletic relations between the universi ties. Yale went to Henley, while Har vard entered a Poughkepsie regatta. In 'U7 Yale and Harvard were bath beaten on the Hudson in a race with Cornell, Yale finishing second. Cornell came to New London in 0S and in a triangular rate over this course again led Yale, with the latter ahead of Harvard. Last year saw the resumption of the individual races between Yale and Har vard. It was Harvard's day. for the young men from Cambridge left the scene after defeating Yale in all three events of a new annual regatta, including race be tween 'Varsity fours, Freshmen and '"Varsity eights. The record for the Thames course is held by Y'ab the race in 1SSS being finished by Captain Stevenson's marvel lous crew in the time of 20:10. Har vard's best time was made in 1878, 20:44)!.

ON THE PROGRAMME Schedule of Coming Events at Kansas City. SILVER IN THE PLATFORM Rryan Holds Out for a Separate IMaak, While Certain Leaders Think an Af firmation or the Chicago Platform Will Re Sufficient The Man Who Will Nominate Bryan Incipient Vice Presidential Rooms. Kansas City, June 28. This is the offeial program for the Democratic na tional convention week: .Monday, July 2. Reception of dele gates, clubs and organizations and Deni-1 iM-ratic visitors at the railroad sta tion by Chairman Paxton's reception committee. Reception of delegates and visitors to the SilverKepublican conven tion. Meetings of monetary league at the Auditorium at 10:.IO a. m., 2:30 and 8 j). m.

Evening R'ccpl i -n. smokers and en tertainments at parks, and river excur sions. Friday, July . Last sessions of con vention, afternoon and evening. It is said that W. T. Bryan, over the long distance telephone, said to a friend in Kansas City yesterday, that he did not tare where silver went in the plat form -Mig as it weiit in. The plan will be probably to speak first of trusts, militarism and imperialism, ;.nd thr-n mention silver. Mr.Bryan still wants a separate silver plank. Nearly every other leader advises against this course. They all think a simple reaffirmation of the Chicago platform in as few words as may be wiser. They will be in con stant communication with Mr. Bryan after they get here, and rhey will en deavor to bring him around to ther way of thinking . None, of the national committeemen, except one proxy, is here. There is an occasional picture of Mr." Bryan in a shop wiud'tw. and a few eastern newsjva per men at the hotels, but that is all. It is expected that most of the national committee will be here by Sunday, al though the first meeting is nut to be held until Monday. Th -members of the sub-commit teee will have a meeting on Saturday. They are Senator Tames K. Tones, of Ar kansas; Ex-Viovernor W. J. Stone, of Missouri: I). J. Campau. of Michigan: J. M. Cuffey. of Pennsylvania: J. G. Johnson, of Kansas; C. A. Yalh, of Iowa, and J. Adair Wilson, of Colorado. There will be little business for the national committee. So far notice of but two contests has been filed, one from Oklahoma and one from Indian Terri tory. There is a threatened contest from Colorado and it is said that Marr-ns Daly nn ay file one against the Clark people from Montana. In any event, the com mittee will have but very little to do on contests. The sub-committee has deft its work to do the last. Unlike the Republi cans, who picked their presiding officers weeks in advance, neither the temporary in or the "Permanent chairman has been selected. C. A. Walsh, of Iowa, is to be secretary of the convention. Governor Thomas, of Colorado, ami Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, are mentioned for tem porarv chairman, and Representatives J. D. Richardson, of Tennessee, for per manent chairman. Several months ago Mr. Bryan selected the orator to place him an nomination He is W.- D. Oldham, the assistant at tornev general of Nebraska. Mr. Old ham is a West Virginian by biiith and is 41 years of age. lie was converted to the free silver belief by Richard P. Bland, and is the most extreme type of a free silver man. He was a ruemler of the Nebraska delegation to the Chi cago convention four years ago. Every body in this section of the country says he is the best political speaker in The west. He has the reputation of being one of the homeliest men in Nebraska, and he says he does not care. He is tall, heavily built, slightly stooped, clean shaved with black hair and eyes and irregular features. He dresses carelessly and generally looks more like a farmer than an orator and lawyer. His nose is his mt prominent fea ture. It is big and h:okel. He has been frequently a candidate for congress, to go to Washington being his ambition. His oratory" s that of the evangelists or stump speaker. He uses stories to illustrate his point, and has an inex haustible fund of apt and homely similes. Geographically classifying them, there are four sorts of tentative vice presiden tial booms ready to be inflated. There nre the Benjamin F. Shiveley and some other man from Indiana boom: the Chas. A. Towne, hybrid and hopeless boom: the Carter II. Harrison or you must rec ognize Illinois lnHm. and there are tlie candidates from New York. In the list are Edward Murphv, David B. Hill. George B. McClellan. Wm. Sulzer. Wil liam R. Hearst, Judge Alton B. Parker and O. H. P. Belmont. What little sp-nt'tment there is licre as yet is for David B. Hill. Almost everylodv thinks it would be a good) thing to put Mr. Hill nn the ticket, provided a mMified plat form is to be obtained. J "' from the South and West that Mr. Hill is the anaji. Mr. l!ryau himself is not supposed to favor 1 1111. His epigram of a lay or two ago Avhwi oe said: I have heard of joint debatw on the financial question between candidates of opposite parties, but never between candidates of the same paTty," is taken to mean that he would -not care to be associated with Mr. Hill. The visit of Ilichard Oroker and Mur phy to Mr. Bryay next Sundy i ex pected to clear uo matter. It is eon- ceded that the nomination woll go to New J lork if New lork will oh-tfose a man. It is quite, likely tiiat New York's 2iaice will be known by Monday after Mr. Croker arrive. POLITICS IX POSTOFFICES Spirit of Civil Service Utri Ignored by High Officials. Washington.

Postmaster-General Smith said today that the Postottice Department has no quarrel with the Civil Service Commis sion and that any liiiswHlerstaimiug. ir any exists, in regard to the enforcement of the Civil Service rules in the Post- olilco Department could easily be ex plained to Mr. Proctor. Commissioner Proctor said this morn ing: "It is not the practice of this office to give out any communication until tliey have been acted upon, and 1 regret tnat in this nistance my letter of May -'4 has become public property. Further more, the records of the commission relative to appointments, transfers and reinstatements are public property and available to any one who desires the information. I do not know just how the letter became public." Postmaster John A. Merritr, of the city po.stotli.ee, sa-id: "There is not a person on tne roils or !his postoltlce who does not perform the duties of his position. Otherwise his pay is deducted." When askedif transfers of clerks to positions in the Washinjcton posttflce other than upon his recommendation had been made, he replied: "It has hap pened.' He further stated that the matter of appointments was one with which he had no connection, as all such were made by the Postottice Department and consequently he was uot in a posi tion to discuss their legality, although he believed tliat tommissioner rroctDr claimed that not the law. but the sp irilJpreser.t team has been htctdily growing of the law, had leen lroken in appoint ments and transfers TOO Pnoi.T) TO IJEG A French Countess and Her Son Starve In m Tenement. raris.
