Press Dispatches Gave the British .First News of the Relief of Admiral Seyrnonr. TIE OFFICIALS GREATLY RELIEVED. Autctr 8(111 Exliti as to the Fate af the Legal loner* anil Foreigner* at Pekin, Who. It w» Hoped, Hlght be Found to Have Jotued Admiral Seymour.

London, June 2$.—As was the case on the occasion of the relief of Tien Tain, press dispatches gave tl& foreign office, the admiralty and the queen the first news of the rescue ot Vice-Ad-miral Seymour. The officials were greatly relieved when this information was conveyed tb them, and expressed their hearty appreciation at the communication of the important and welcome tidings. At the same time it ia recognized that the press ad »ices from Che Foo also add to the anxieties regarding the fate of the legationers and foreigners of Pekin, who, it wai hoped^might Le with Seymour. Dcpendliiir On ltumor. The world has to depnd on rumor In regard to the fate of the supposed exiles from the Chinese capital, it is generally accepted that they have been compelled to leave Pekia, but whether coastwards, under a Chinese escort, or as hostages on the way to the possible new’ capital, their plight must excite the gravest anxiety, as even if they are In the care of a Chinese escort, this ia hardly considered a good guarantee of the safety of “foreign devils” in a country swarming with their most Tirulent enemies.

CASUALTIES AT TIEN TSIN. The Odd Ftr$of the American* and British Deerrlbed as Beautiful. London, June 29, 4 a. m.—The casualties of the international, force attacking Tien Tsin were: Americans, killed, 3, wounded, 3; British, killed, 2, wounded, 1; Hermans, killed, 15* wounded, 27; 'Russians, killed, 10, wounded, 37. The gun lire of the Americans and British is described as “beautiful.” After the relieving force pushed on to relieve Admiral Seymour, Chinese regulars, under Hen. Rich, says a dispatch from Shanghai, again attacked Tien Tsin fiercely, and bombarded the foreign settlement with a terrible fire. Col. llorward, British, commanded

tlie column that relieved Admiral Seymour. American marines participated in the achievement. The admiral was found intrenched and surrounded by immense masses of Chinese, who were driven ofT by the relieving1 column after a brisk fight. His men had made a brilliant resistance, never fifiling in courage for 15 days of continuous fighting. During ten days the men were on quarter rations. They started with provisions for ten days and they could have held out only a day or two longer. The' column was a few miles beyond Lofa. Deeming it hopeless to attempt to break through the hordes, Adnvral Seymour assayed a night retreat toward Tien Tsin, but he came into collision with a strong force of Chinese arriving from the northwest, and could neither advance nor retreat. There was nothing to do but to intrench and aland siege. He vainly attempted heliograpliic communication. Seymour’s men caught several Chinese who said the legations had been burned and the ministers killed. iOtlieps said that the ministers-had oeen imprisoned. ! The Chinese displayed fanatical 'courage in the attack. ' Four thousand Russians left Tien Tsin four days after Admiral Seymour, but they never got in touch with him. Railway communication from Taku to Tien Tsin has been restored, and the force is advancing toward Pekin. Fighting was in progress Wednesday in the vicinity of Tse Chulin. Large preparations are being made »to support and reinforce the Pekin relieving colmun. Twenty thousand troops of all arms, largely Japanese, have now been landed.

The fate of the members of the legations is still a mystery. If they are alive and unharmed at Pekin, the Chinese government deserves some credit, Shanghai correspondents think, for restraining the fanuctical mob. The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, wiring at 9:05 p. m. yesterday, says: ‘'It is reported on good Chinese authority that the government, alarmed by the foreign military preparations, has issued an edict ordering the peremptory suppression of the Boxers, and announcing a decision to protect the legations at all hazards.” Russian prestige has been injured during the recent fighting; and an anti-Russian rising in the Liao Tong peninsula, Russian Manchuria, is predicted. THE ASHANTI EEBELUON. Willtoclci Will Move 1 iu media tel jr— Severe Eight in« Expected Near Foiucn. London, June 29.—Advices received here from Prahsu. Ashanti, under yesterday’s date, say the telegraph line had been reopened to Fumsu, and that Col. Willcocks’ force will move immediately. Col. Burroughs, with 500 men, is expected to reach Bekwai in two days. The rebellious Ashantis are reported to be in strength near Fomen. _

xouows: “Tien Tsin, June 27, via Che Foo, June 29, 10:03 p. m.—Have returned to Tien Tain with the forces, having been unable to reach Pekin by rail. On June 13, two attacks on the advanced guard were made by the Boxers, who were repulsed with considerable loss to them, and none on our side. On June 14 the Boxers attacked the train at Lang Yang in large numbers and with great determination. We repulsed them with a loss of about one hundred. Our loss was five Italians. “The same afternoon the Boxers attacked the British guard left to protect Lpfa station. , Reinforcements were sent back, and the enemy were driven off, with 100 killed. Two of our seamen were wounded. “We pushed forward to Anting, and engaged the enemy on June 13 and June 14, inflicting a loss of 175. .There were no casualties on our side. “Extensive destruction of the railroad in our front having made further advance by rail impossible, I decided, on June 16, to return to Yang Tsun, where is was proposed to organize an advance by the river to Pekin. After, my departure from Lang Yang two tr. ins left to follow on were attacked, on June 18, by Boxers and imperial troops from Pekin, who lost from four to five hundred killed. Our casualties were six killed and 48 wounded. 1 hese trains could not be moved. The force being short of provisions and hampered with wounded, compelled us to withdraw on Tien Tsin, with which we had not been in communication for six days, and our supplies had been cut off. “On June 19 the wounded,, with necessaries, started by boat, fhe “forces marching alongside the river. Opposition was experience^ during the whole course of the river from nearly every village, the Boxers, when defeated in one village, retiring to the next, and skilfully retarding our advance by occupying well-selected positions from which they had to be forced often at th*s point of the bayonet, and in the face of a galling fire difficult to lo

cate. “On June 23 we made a night march, arriving at daybreak opposite the imperial armory, above Tien Tsin, where, after friendly'’ advances, a treacherous heavy tire was opened, while our men were exposed on the opposite river bank. The enemy were kept in check by rifle fire in front, while their "osition was turned by a party of marines and seamen under Maj. Johnson, who rushed and occupied one of the sa.ient points, seizing the guns. “The Germans, lower down, silenced two guns, and then crossed the river and captured them. The armory was next occupied by the combined forces Itetermijied attempts to retake the armory were made on the following day, but unsuccessfully. ‘ “Found immense stores of guns, arms and ammunition of the latest pattern. Several guns were mounted in our defense, and shelled the Chinese forts lower down.

Having: round ammunition and rice, we could have held out for some days; but, being hampered with large numbers of wounded, I sent to Tien Tsin for a relieving force, wljich arrived on the morning of June 25. .The armory was evacuated, and the fbrces arrived at Tien Tsin on June 26.

REPUBLICAN DANGERS. Set Forth hr Temporary ChStelM Herat of the Illlmola o Demaocrfce r. In his opening address to the Illinois '•late democratic convention at Spring;* field June 27 Temporary Chairman SI. W. Hurst,' of Rock Island county, said: "Since the representatives of our party have assembled in national convention new Issues have arisen—issues Involving grave questions of right and wrong, great questions of principle, questions affecting. in my judgment, the permanency of the republic. These new issues are, however, but the natural outgrowth of the old contest between man and the dollar, between plutocracy and democracy. Our forefathers thought when they abolished entail and provided for the distribution of estates they had erected a bulwark against the money power. They were led by Jefferson and believed with him that In a republic there should be no aristocracy but that of virtue and talent:, { If Jefferson saw danger to republican Institutions in a landed aristocracy what:, think you, he would say If alive to-day at the growing power of combinations of capital in the form of trusts? "The greatest danger which threatens our Institutions to-day ^ Is to be found In this incoming flood' of Incorporated wealth. These vast and powerful Interests fully realize that their safety lies in the continuation of" a republican administration which has failed to enforce the laws now on the statute book or (to enact more stringent laws against them, and they will oppose with all their power any change of administration, and unless the mass of the people is ardused to the danger which confronts them the time will soon come when no law willl pass or honor be conferred without the consent of these powerful and Interested -combinations, which are speedily becoming the government itself, to the utter subversion of the authority of the people. If you think this an overdrawn picture, look at the republican national convention at Philadelphia last week, where the representatives of these interests n£med the candidates and dictated The policy, a convention to which the great state of "Illinois chose for two of its delegates the ruling spirits of the barb wire trust, a trust which, to advance the interests of its officers, recently closed down 12 of its factories and. without any warning whatever, deprived more than 6,000 laboring men of employment. “The democratic party wages no war on property or property rights. The true democrat glories in the opportunity lor individual advancement under a government such as ours, when rightfully administered, and has only admiration for the man who, asking nothing from his government but equal and exact justice, carves out his own success, be It financial or otherwise. But the true democrat demands that the blessing of government shall fall, like the rain from heaven, on the rich and poor alike and demands that his government shall not grant special privileges to the few. “The growth of trusts Is largely due to the protective tariff laws enacted by the republican party, put, not content with the advantages afforded by control of home markets under republican legislation and influenced by the prospect of profitable trade with the islands wrested from the domination of Spain, these monopolists have inspired the imperial policy of the present administration, the enforcement of which can only be accomplished by revolutionizing our government and substituting the principles of our hereditary enemies for the teachings of Washington and his associates. Five score and fourteen years' ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that ‘all men are created equal.* Winning their struggle for liberty, they established here a great self-ruling nation— the living embodiment of the gospel of democracy—*a government of the people, for the people and by the people’—a government which has been a beacon light to the people of the world«. struggling for liberty,* and whose influence has lib-, eralized monarchies and limited arbitrary power all over the world. “There is great danger to the republic in this policy of imperialism—this'rea ching out for distant islands to be governed as subject provinces. Such a colonial scheme destroyed all hopes of republicanism in olden times. It can exist in no free country because it uproots and eliminates the basis of republican institutions, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.’ “The question presented to the American people Is not the question of expansion of the republic over contiguous territory to which we extend the blessings of our Institutions, a policy which all would gladly welcome if accomplished peaceably and honorably. No,

me question lor your consideration Is the question between the republic and the empire, between liberty and slavery, between the declaration of independence and imperialism, between the doctrines of Washington and Jefferson and the doctrines of George HI. and Lord North, and, with a firm reliance in the love of liberty which God has planted in the hearts of the American people, I firmly believe the people will hurl aside those who In the delirium for trade and conquest seek to destroy the character of our institutions. “I have every faith that, true to the interests of the people whom you represent, you will formulate a platform reaffirming the great principles of democracy enunciated in the platform, of 1896 and protesting against this new and dangerous doctrine of imperialism. I feel sure, too, that in choosing among the different candidates for state offices your action will be prompted by a desire to do that which is for the best interests of the party and the state. “In the national campaign upon which we are about to enter the great common people, who constitute the very bone and sinew of the republic, turn their faces with one accord toward one man and ask that he lead them in the political battle for the people's rights. And how wise their choice! “Some one has sal* that the story of Napoleon should come from the lips of a Frenchman, who knows no language rich enough to paint the great captain of the nineteenth century, and that the story of Washington should be tsiken from the hearts of Americans. who tiling no marble white enough on which, to carve the name of the father of their country. So it seems to me that the task of leading the democratic hosts., of pleading the people’s cause and of teaching the gospel of true democracy should be given to that greatest exponent of democratic principles since the day of JefTerson—William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska.” _ -The civil service plank in the republican platform takes first prize for case-hardened cheek. It commends the party for “maintaining the efficiency of the civil service” in face of the fact that President McKinley has thrown 16,000 classified places to the spoilsmen, and says: “The administration has acted wisely in its effort to secure for public service in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine islands only those whose fitness has been determined by training and experience.” And this within a month of the Neely embezzlement and the Rathbone crookedness I—N.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS Ex-Gov. Altgeld Gives His View* at the KllinoU State Convention. In answer to an uproarious demand for n speech at the Illinois state democratic convention, Springfield, June 27, ex-Gov. J^hn P. Altgeld said: “In my opinion, the prospects of carrying Illinois this fall are far better than they were in June, 1892. Tl\e country is somewhat daxed as yet, but I say to you that there are several millions of men in the republican party of this

country who were with It when It was a great moral force under Lincoln that are not prepared to become criminal in* struments in the hands of Mark Hanna. We have got away from the basic principle of republican government and our people do not yet fully understand it, and then the democracy will carry and rule this country for 50 years to come. Let me say to you there Is no question of expansion before the American people. It is a misnomer. It is misrepresentation. "The democratic party has been the party of expansion. We expanded in 1801 and got Louisiana. We expanded in 181$ and got Florida; we expanded in 1845 and got Texas; we expanded in 1848 and got New Mexico. But in every instance the treaty provided that the territory wa» to be a part of this republic arid that the inhabitants were to be citizens of this republic. That was expansion; that was growth; that was development; that was statesmanship; that was broadening out the declaration of Independence; it •was giving more people the benefit of our constitution and of our institutions; it was a blessing to humanity. But the course of the administration now looks to no such results. President McKinley over a year ago asked congress to give us a standing army, not volunteers, but a standing army of 100,000 men, increasing it from 22,000 to 100,000. Why? Because we were going to embark in the colonial policy, with England to govern people by brute force and having therefore a need of the same kintL of' machinery that they use in Europe to crush the aspirations of men. Change Is Essential. "The time has come when we must have a change in America or republican Institutions will be at an end. We find the age calling for manhood, calling for something like Cromwellian policy, calling for men and not for politicians. It is asking that we step up on high ground and that we deal honestly with all questions. We see the men who founded the republican party; we see such men as Senator Boutwell, Senator Hoar. ex-Pres-ldent Harrison and Tom Reed and hosts of the great men who made that party calling a halt and saying this policy must be checked or we are destroyed. There are hundreds of thousands of men in America who do not agree with us on some' economic questions, but they are now coming forward, represented by such men as Garl Sclfurx, and declaring they will support our candidate because they have confidence in hiS integrity. They have no confidence in the president

Because he cannot be relied on. “It is this fact that gives us our strength to-day. Do not lose sight of that for one minute. If our great leader had hesitated one moment during the last four years it would have destroyed him and he would no longer be the idol of the American people that he Is to today. He would no longer command the confidence of those men and he would be looked upon as a politician, which would end his career. If we are true to our colors and principles and stand firm, thus commanding the respect and confidence of the men who differ with us on economic questions, then the ides of November will witness a victory that will not leave seven states in the republican column. 17rges Strong Platform. “You are going to make a declaration of principles here to-day, but do not forget that Illinois is looked upon as the bell-wether state of America. What you insert in your platform here is going to be scanned all over this republic. It is therefore important that you see to it that the democracy of this great state does not fiinsh. We have a great future. I believq, Just as firmly as I see you here, that if we are true to ourselvea we will rally to our support not only tho enthusiastic young men of our country, but the middle aged also. Do not forget that every man who can be purchased. every man who can be reached by selfish motives will be against us. Mark Hanna’s great slimy hand will come down upon the whole brood of them and gobble them up. The hope of democracy lies in a different direction. In the first place, the great army that could not be bought in 1896 is still standing and anxious for the fray. Again, our strength lies in the fact that the patriotic intelligence of America, the men who believe in the declaration of independence, the*) men who believe in human freedom and equality, these men are all coming toward us. Our strength lies in the dynamic force of proper ideas and in the concentrated power of justice, two forces that have never yet been arrested and which have given the world its civilization. These are the two forces upon which we depend, and they are going to give us victory.”

Plant Tree Popularity. Mr.Hanna is respected and revered by the republican party, but he is not its idol. That distinction belongs to Mr. Quay, as was manifest in the enthusiasm which greeted his appearance at Philadelphia. Mr. Hanna has skinned the criminal code mighty close, but he naturally fails l.o envoke that enthusiasm which is elicited by Mr. Quay, who has been under indictment for larceny. When some republican statesman shall arise who has actually served a term in the penitentiary Mr. Quay will, of course, have to give way. For the present he bears the palm alone.—Chicago Chronicle. 4 -The trusts, the postal thieves in Cuba, the dragging war in the Philippines, the ext ravagance of congress, the growth of militarism, the AngloAmerican alliance, the Nicaragua canal treachery, the abandonment of American principles in Porto Rico and the subserviency of the government to concentrated wealth are all helping to waft the democratic candidate toward the white house.—N. Y. Journal. -New York has been rendered all the easier to capture for the democrats in November, because the most popular republican in the state has been taken out of the contest for governor, so as to permit the nominating 'of one of Platt’s corporation tools in his stead.—Kansas City Times. -The McKinley administration will be judged not by professions and promises made at Philadelphia, but by its acts at Washington. These are quite sufficient to justify and demand its condemnation and overthrow at the polls next November — Atlanta Journal.

Rev. C. B; Carlisle, a missionary, formerly of Warsaw, N.

He says: “Up in the mountains to the northeast there is a tribe of half savage people called' Igarottes. They live ii the mountains, hardly ever coming! out into the valleys, except when hunger compels them. None of them wear any clothing, except a strip of loin doth. They have a speech of their own. The Filipinos cannot understand them. They are fond of clog meat; so two days ago four of them came down here and in an hour had captured 16 logs, tied them with ropes and started away. The Filipinos did not disturbthen., letting them have all the dogs they could catch. They came right past my tent in the evening, stopped on the banks of the river a little way from the center of the town, built a fire, filled* a dog, cooked and ate him. They skinned it, cleaned the body, ran a stick of green bamboo through it lengthwise, then two of them spitted the meat over the lire until it was brown/Then they laid it in the grass, and these four ate t very bit of that dog. even picked the tones clean.

As the sun we'nt-down they moved away out of the town, leading 15 logs and carryuri^r one they had to Kill in order to gA him. The sight made me sick and 1 K^st all appetite for my supper. We could spare the dogs, out of the double scores that make things howl here in Dagupan, but I hope I may never see that sort of feast again, too dogoned beastly for me”

Peasant Treatment of Disease. In a pamphlet on the superstitions and medical practices of the Bernese peasantry Dr. Zahlef. himself a native of the Bernese Oberland. states that the belief in witchcraft is slowly yielding to education1., The medical literature consists of ancient manuscript family prescri ption books and pointed volumes distributed by peddlers. The older the prescription the greater -the credit. The peasant nowadays, while cartiully conceaung his ancient beliefs, is yet, when disease affects him, inclined to revert to the old charms and remedies.
