Mill CUitgrinK to the Ray of Hope that Some Are Alive. Washing-ton, July 8.—An important dispatch to the state department fiom Consul General Good now has revived hope in a measure that the lege.tinners, or at least some of them, ar-2 still alive in -Pekin. Having survived at least two weeks longer than was supposed to be possible, and certainly being alive live days ago, the unfortunate ministers and their staffs and guards may be still holding out. In fact’, if the only active enemy they have now to face is starvation, as Consul General Goodnow indicates, the officials believe there is substantial ground for the hope that they may hold out. and that the horrible stories of the last few days from Shanghai of nameless crimes and massacres committed upon the legationers are at least premature. One certain effect of Consul General Goodnow's dispatch will be to cause the officials here, and without doubt, the European governments, to redouble their exertions to push forward a force to Pekin. The Hope la In Japan. The main hope for speedy action is still in Japan. According to the Japanese legation here, which has late advices from Tokio, 22,000 Japanese soldiers are now on Chinese soil. If this report is true, then the Japanese government has accomplished more than was expected, and the officials here see no reason why the advance on Pekin should not begin immediately. It is sakl Japan is hot expected to make this campaign-single handed. The international forces at Taku and TienTsin will co-operate to the utmost with the Japanese army corps in the movement on Pekin. What form that co-operation shall take is not known now, such details are left to the com manders in the field. Japan Will be Compensated.

It is said that Japan is to be compensated for the work she is about tc undertake in the common cause, ilei military preparations are vfery extensive and the campaign is certain to involve heavy cost. It would be unjusi to expect Japan to meet this herself She has no missionaries in Cnina. -inc consequently is pex*haps less interestec selfishly than any of the powers iu the terrible happenings in Shan Tung and Pekin. It is conjectured that this question of compensation is after all what has caused the apparent delay in lh« resumption of the campaign aga'nsi Pekin, but it is believed that this having now been adjusted, military opera tions will progress rapidly. If the powers.have rgreed upon th« form Japanese indemnity is to assume, the facts can not be elicited here. The impression, however, is there will b« a money indemnity, the relief being based on the fact that such is the only form of indemnity so far suggested that would be the least likely to arousi international jealousies. Either Chin; itself or the powers collectively would have to provide for the payment of tbp> indemnity, though even in th» first case it is probable thai thepow ers* contribution would be in the na ture of a loan, and in the end Chim would be obliged to make good th» advance through some form of tsxa tion.

Jill Of HR 4 Shanghai Dispatch by Way of London Says the Legations were Standing July 3. THE STRUGGLE NAS BEEN DESPERATE. Still Aaotther OUpatrh From Shamehat, by Way of Loudon. Snyi “The Chin rue Fiend* Clotted la Ipoa the Legations and Dutcbfrrt All Who Remained Alive.”

[Dispatches from China are very conflicting. There is no doubt that there has been a great loss of life a* the Chinese capital, but nothing definite has been received as to the fate of the ministers of the various powers. A ray of hope is held out by a dispatch that the legations were standing July 3. The ilowers are about to agree to allow Japan a free hand, and to guarantee that nation on indemnity if it succeeds in pacifying the country. This actign, it is said, was first suggested by the United States. England, Germany and Russia, there are strong reasons for believing, will agree.] Two Legations Holding; Out July 3. London, July' 8.—A cable dispatch dated Thursday’, July 5, 5 p. nt», received at the .London office of the inspectorate of Chinese maritime customs, from Shanghai, says: “Courier left Pekin, July 3, when two legations were holding out against troops and Boxers. ^ Troops had lost 2,000 men and Boxers many leaders.” A Ray of Hope. Washington, July 8.—A cablegram was received at the state department from Consul General Gcodnow. at Shanghai, dated July 7, saying that the legations were standing on the 3d inst, and that the recent attack of the Boxers had been slight.

Japan replied that she was prepared to carry out the suggestion, and that cne division would be dispatched immediately. “MASSACRE CONFIRMED.”

Thin Is the Jiewn From Chinn by Way of London. London, July 8.—The massacre of the foreign ministers, the women, the children and the European guards a* Pekin, after 18 days of hopeless resistance, is confirmed,” says a dispatch from Shanghai, dated July 6, and received in London. “When the ammunition and food were exhausted,*' continues the dispatch, “the Chinese fiends closed in upon the legations and butchered all those who lemained alive. Afterwards they set the legation buildings on fire, and the remains were consumed in one horrible holocaust.” The dispatch does not state the source whence the news of this confirmation is received. Appalling Atrocities. Reports of the atrocities committed by Princd Tuan upon the Chinese are appalling. He had 4,000 leading Chinese butchered, it is said, for merely daring to petition him to control the ^irgie of blood and restrain his followel's. * The dispatch concludes with the announcement that ex-Vieercy Chi Li Wang Chao has been killed by the Poxers. Eeports from natives who left Pekin June 24, continue to arrive, but they are, to a large extent, merely variations of the stories already published. The Lint Message From Conger. A dispatch from Taku says th&t the list messrge from Mr. Edwin S. Conger, United States minister at Pekin, brought there by runners, reads as follows: “\Ve are besieged. The provisions are becoming exhausted, and the situation is desperate. The relief , force should advance cud give us notice by signal.” Runners also confirm^the report oi the burning of the native city of Pekin. , The Worst Has Happened. In London it is hardly doubted that the vverst has happened, though the friends of those who were besieged at Pekin cling to the last slender hope American Missionaries Safe. Chicago, July 9.—James W. Porter, of Chicago, has received a cablegram from Che Foo, China, announcing that his brother, Rev. Henry D. Porter, and his sister, Miss Mary IT. Porter, missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions stationed at Fang Chuang, 200 miles south of Tien Tsin. had arrived safely at Che Foo from Chinenfu, the capital of the province. They were accompanied by Rev. H. P. Perkins, another missionary stationed at Pang Chuang;

BOUTWELL PREDICTS DEFEAT. Venerable Ex-Governor Believe > Tbat the lUlboriBB Clones Are ii posed to -McKinley. Ex-GoV. Bout well is as firm a» ever that President McKinley should be defeated, and he is also confident that he will be. Mr. Bout well has been ;> sturdy opponent, of imperialism from the first, and he has »he cotirage of ills con-, victions and opposes not only the reelection of President McKinley., but he opposes every congressional candidate who favors imperialism. He does not^ believe in it at all, and he regards it as dangerous to the welfare >f the country. This life-long republican and stout party than has squarely broken with the republican party and Is willing to see it go down to:defeat partly for its own good and still more for the good of the country. Mr. Boutwell is quoted in New York as follows: “I believe McKinley and Roosevelt will be defeated. There is a strong s<a timent against the republican party among the masses. McKinley will carry Massachusetts. but will lose New York. The laboring classes, the Germans and the colored men are against McKinley. The laltor element does not like his use of troops, the Germans have many grievances. Sind the colored people will resent the administration's neglect to punish the murders of colored men in the south. This feeling against the administration is not confined to any one locality, it will be founi in all parts of the Untied States. The trouble with the republican party is that 1:: tias too few Roosevelts and too few J^c4 ges to stand up and say that this or that p olicy is right. The Philadelphia ticket will be

Deaien. Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed is another republican whose attitude towards McKinley is giving thei party some concern. Not only does line say nothing about it favorably, but his sharp criticisms in the legal at.d other circles in which he moves have an influence. and ihany of his friends are said to be turning against the ticketthat they would otherwise have supported. One man who gave $1.0.000 to the republican campaign fund four years ago it is said will do nothing now, and this change is attributed to Reed's influence. When such report's as these were shown to the ex-speaker be simply remarked that he •suppose*! that every man had a right to his opinion. It is not probable now that Mr. Reed will support Bryan openly. bar he is not likely to do much i* favor of McKinley. He does not believe in he administration policy at all, he ,jis not an admirer of Hanna, and he ijias no particular love for the president. He is practically opposed to the whole administration and many of its friends, and he does not hesitate to lei it be known. Senator Hoar will, of course, give a perfunctory support to the republican ticket because he is u candidate for reeieetion at the hands of the next, legislature, but the logic of his position puts him outside of his party, and his own influence will be counted against himself. There will be thousands of men who have heretofore acted with the republican: party and who willi be against it this year. Some of them will not hasten ui let it be known, but the facts will come out gradually. Meantime the rank and file of the republican party who arc not in accord with the administration's policy will show their disposition to oppose it and to oppose all congressional candidates Avho fajior imperialism. There is to be a new alignment this year, and it is going folj^e an alignment of quite uncommon1 interest.-j-La wrence (Kan.) Daily News.

A WEAK PLATFORM. View* of Some Prominent Journal* on 'the Philadelphia Production. It is the least moving and weakest platform ever submitted by the republican party of the United Si sites.— Springfield Republican (lnd.). The taxpayers of the United States are giving more than $100,000,000 a year to compensate 70.000 American soldiers in the Philippines for add , i g $1.900,000 annually to our export ;rade. It ought to be possible to make t: better business arrangement than this.—Baltimore Sun. Under the fair promises of this platform is disguised the worst spirit of imperialism. The people of this country would need to have an amazing degree of confidence in the authors of these specious generalities to take the platform builders at their word i n presence of the Porto Rican act—the first measure in which they have defined their unconstitutional and dangerous policy.—Philadelphia Record. It looks very much like what it probably is—the product of McKinley's mind—dribbling through Postmaster General Smith's pen. and then ripped up the back by Foraker: “chewed on'’ by Rosewater. Quigg, Gallinger and others, and finally patched together by Fairbanks and Davis. It is the one awkward, clumsy product of » convention organized with great- system aid carried out according to that system with a great deal of skill. Mr. McKinley ought to have made the platform, himself or intrusted it to one man.—’iVater- 4 bury American (lnd.). It will be seen that the leaders of the republican party organization have resolved to make their appeal to the general Conservative sentiment by emphasizing the importance of financial security and subordinating all perplexing issues of the present as far us; possible to this. There is none of the defiant proclamation' of commend al expansion that was expected by many, and the difficult problems of industrial combinations and the relations of capital and labor are treated with no more force or precision than has been usual in party deliverances. — Philadelphia Times. -Some time ago Roosevelt was ' credited with having made the statement that McKinley’s backbone was made of “chocolate eclair.” Teddy will probably tell them now he never said it, and if he did he was ‘'only foolin’.”—Kalamazoo tMich.)

— EVIL OF THE TRUSTS, A Menace to Onr National LSte-Tkc Product of i'akealtky Politic#! Conditions. Whatever merit there maj- be ia the claim made by the defenders of the i\ trust, that the trust is the national product of our industriaievolution, inasmuch as it economizes human energy and cheapens the product, it is apparent that the evils so outweigh the good that the question naturally arises which can be the best, dispense with n the trust or the republic? ’ ' Of what avail is it, if to save human 1 energy, We are compelled to Sacrifice the independence of ,our people, thereby sapping the very vitais of our republic? It s not many years ago, when any young man of thrift and energy could look forward, to becoming his own master. The opportunity was open to him of carving his own destiny. How different to-day. The young man of to-day can expect nothing better than to be the hireling of some corporation or trust. If fr is a man of great ability he may in return for the ' surrender of every vestige of his independence obtain a most liberal salary. If of mediocre ability he will be compelled to work for.starvation wages. The door of opportunity being closed to him. he becomes an industrial dependent. a servile, slave; being industrially dependent, it follows as a matter of course that he is politically

dependent. It was this feeling’ of dependence, this fear of coercion of their masters, that made thousands- of corporations and trust employes rote for McKinley instead of Bryan in 1S96. '* Of what avail is our free ballot or our 1 free institutions, if/through fear of starvation the thousands of these dependents will be found- willing to barter such freedom, wherein lies the future of the republic? The dangers that confront this nation to-day are not from without, but from within. We need the bravery ot the citizen who dares to cast a free ballot, more than we do the bravery ol , the soldier who stands defiant amid the smoke of battle. We need heroes of peace more than heroes of war. . Men who never -flinched before overwhelming odds on the battlefield are with craven mien surrendering to the trust barons every day. A ten-line notice on the factory door will create a greater stampede than a battery of rajpid-fire guns. The trusts have already weakened the moral stamina of the nation, otherwise 5 every state would inaugurate a stricter quarantine against them than they would * against Asiatic cholera. The trust in private hands saves human energy. Yes, but for whose benefit? It displaces the energy of hope by the energy of fear. It robs the young man of manly independent hope. The trust is a moral leper. It injects its soulless creed into our political life. Ethics give way to materialism; altruism to egotism: the brotherhood of man to the divine rights of kings. "The reign of the trusts is but a resurrection of the feudal system. The power of the feudal barons of the middle ages was a mere bagatelle compared to the power of the industrial barons of to-day. The retainer of the olden time who felt -s'Jr

that he was abused should betake himself to the forest and green sward,1 and live a jolly, if not a virtuous life. "With a good, faithful long bow and hound he need' not starve. The retainer of to-day in the person of the factory slave, the bankrupt small dealer, the ex-traveling man and the elerk in the department store, the teacher or the preacher are quickly starved into subjection. It is no more criminal to control the supply of coal than it is the supply 01 sunshine. just as necessary for societv^fo control the supply of ice as it is the supply of sewers. We cap just as logically claim that the plague is the outcome of our industrial evolution as to claim thgt the trust is. The trust is a disease, the product of a diseased political and economic system. It was born and fostered by unnatural parents. It was sired by special privilege and damned by transportation discrimination. Its godfather was a contracted currency. Nothing can be natural that is the spring of the unnatural.. Nothing can be politically healthy that was bred by political disease.—S. J. Ivlnt, in Nonconformist. AS SEEN BY LINCOLN. Specious* Plea of Imperialism Exposed by First Republican President. The republican national platform promises to the people of the Philippines “the largest measure of self-gov-ernment consistent with their welfare and our duties.” Abraham Lincoln disposed of this specious plea, used in his time, as it has been in evert* time, by the apologists of government without the consent of the governed. In the course of one of his famous series of speeches replying to Douglas the first1 republican president said: “These arguments that are made, that the inferior race are to be treated with as much allowance as they are capable of enjoying: that as much is to be done for them as their condition will allow—what are these arguments? They are the arguments that kings have made for enslaving the people In all ages of the world, you wilt find that all the arguments in fsVyor of kingcraft were of this class; that they always bestrode the necks of the people, not that they wanted to do it, but because the peopi! were better off for being ridden. Turn it whatever way you will, whether it :ome from the mouth of a king, an exntse for enslaving the people of the country, pr from the mouth of men of one race For enslaving the men of another, It is all the same old serpent.” Thus clearly and emphatiealiy has \braham Lincoln bequeathed to us his, judgment on the Philippine policy ox William McKinley.—N. Y. World.
