"I know there is a special fight on me," he sa.id, "but money will cut.no figure, except that It will enable the opposition to get its vote out on election day.

Admiral Remey Cables That the Allies Are Besieging the Building Where the Remaining Chinese Are Quartered. BATTLE OUTSIDE TIEN-TSIN English and Japanese Dispersed One Thousand Boxers-Admiral Says Americans Entered Chinese Capital First.

Washington, Aug. 22. Admiral Remey in a dispatch to the bureau of navigation, gives additional details of the attack and capture of Pekin. Following is the text of his dispatch: "Che Aug. 21.

Bureau of Navigation, Washington. Taku, 20th. Dickens command landed today. Pekin 16th. All except imperial building cleared of Chinese troops.

For that reason it has been thought best to rely upon General Chaffee, whose judgment is known to be of the soundest, and who is in good health.

He will therefore act in both military and diplomatic capacity for the present. It is probable he will have W.W. Rock-hill to aid him later. IP Bryan PreDarefl for tliB Tojb- IT OCCURS TO-MORROW Nebraskan to Discuss Militarism and also Other Matters Pertaining to Campaign. PETTIGREW FIGHTING HARD FOR BRYAN The Senator la Being Made the Special Object of a Bitter Contest In Sooth Dakota.

Lincoln, Aug. 22. Mr. Bryan has completed his speech of notification to be delivered at Topeka on Thursday. To-day he gave to the press advance copies of the document.

It contains about 4,000 words, and briefly covers the Issues on which the Democrats and Populists agree. He gives some time to the trust question end to the prosperity argument. After discussing the older issues he takes up militarism and argues that it would Justify co-operation at this time even If the parties differed on economis questions. He presents Imperialism as the paramount issue gives some figures to show the burdens which militarism Impose. A terrific wind storm that struck the city yesterday morning solved a dispute between local Republicans and Democrats that pcunlsed to be Trery acrimonious.

Last week the Republicans strung eight or ten fine flags, with portraits of McKinley. and Roosevelt attached, across the streets in the business center." The Democrats took this to be an insult to Mr. Bryan, and vowed they would have them down. At last night's meeting of the city council a Democratic member slipped through a resolution ordering the street commissioner to enforce the ordinance against signs across thoroughfares. The Re-, publicans were- mad and Importuned the mayor, a Republican, to veto the resolution.

The Democrats, retorted that if he did, and the flags were not taken down, they would invoke the federal statute against the use of the American flag fo- advertising purposes. Before anything could be done the storm came and tore down all but two of the flags, and from one of these is ripped off, as cleanly as though with a knife, both portraits. Populists here are rather puzzled over the announcement that Marion A. Butler will be present and officiate at the Topeka notification. At national headquarters the suspicion prevails that Butler will eventually bolt Bryan unless he can succeed in saddling a Populist vice presidential nominee on him.

Word has come here that Butler has been endeavoring to secure enough proxies to enable him and his friends, who refuse to support Ad-lai, to control the meeting of the national committee in Chicago next week, and this is taken to mean that if he loses he will jump the fence. It is known that he made a personal appeal to Bryan during his campaign for senator, to use his influence with North Carolina Democrats to prevent his defeat. Bryan naturally refused. Mr. Bryan began yesterday his first of a series of special train campaign speeches by making an excursion into the Fourth congressional district.

He spoke to a large crowd at Wahoo, and returned home last night, and from there proceeds south by easy stages to Topeka. The trip is taken In fulfillment of a promise to the Populist nominee for congress in the First district to speak in each of the seven counties of the district. The district is represented by Congressman Burkitt, a Republican. It is believed here that after the fifteenth of next montth Mr. Bryan will take the stump via the special train route, and will stick to it to the end of the campaign.

He refuses to discuss his plans, in fact, says he has none. Sioux City, Aug. 22. In an interview Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, en route to Chicago, declared that every effort is to be made in his state to carry it for Bryan. "I would certainly prefer," he declared, "that my own campaign for United States senator should fail rather than see South Dakota's electoral vote go for William McKinley.

We are fighting for the is Extra Ice Freight Train Ran Into a Way Freight on New York Central. New York, Aug. 22. A wrecking crew, was at work all the morning clearing the tracks at the Kenslco station of the N. Y.

While tha train was lying in front of the station an extra freight of thirty cars loaded: with ice came along.

The engineer, William Lauterbach, for some unknown reason, ran past the block signal, which was set, and plunged intal the rear of the regular freight. The caboose of the freight and four of the freight cars were telescoped and the rest of the freight cars In the train, were derailed. Lauterbach, the engine driver, was found dead under his engine. Cassidy, the fireman, was found pinned between the left driving wheel and the boiler, where he was baked ta death. Abriel, the brakeman, is certalnljj under the train dead.

His trousers which had been torn from his body were found. Women on passing trains, were horrified at the sight of the fireman pinioned on his engine and many turned away fainting.

It was gives out at the offices of the antl-imperiaN 1st league to-day that Andrew Carnegie would shortly return to the United States from Scotland to assit in the campaign against McKinley. It is expected Carnegie will take the stump in advocacy of Bryan and Stevenson as opposed to iMcKinley and Roosevelt.

SYRACUSE RUNAWAYX Horses Dashed Through tho Busy Streets for Distance of Two Miles. Syracuse, Aug. 22.

An exciting and unusual runaway was witnessed here last night. An of fire sounded on the gong at engine house No. 7. The driver had not taken his seat when the captain shouted "We go, pull out." There were three horses hitched to the steamer. Those words were famllar to them.

Before the firemen could get aboard the horses were under way. At a frightful pace they dashed through the busy streets, and traveled a distance of more than two miles before they were caught toy a firemen, who pretty, nearly lost his life in the act. Strange to say neither the horses nor the steamer were in any wise the worse for the wild run. The horses did not seem to realize that the driver was minus for they turned corners, avoided trolley cars and zigzagged in and out between other vehicles with the greatest of caution. Finally they saw another fire engine from a distant part of the crty tearing along to the fire, whereupon they turned around and followed to that engine and were captured.

WHY SHE BRINGS SUIT. Wllkesbarre, Aug. 22. "You are fifty years old, and you dye your hair." This is the remark which Miss Alice Fields must answer for in court. She was arrested yesterday on the charge of slander, the complaint being made by Miss Etta Potter.

Miss Potter declares that she is not fifty and the color of her hair is natural. She has asked the assistance of the law to make Miss Fields eat her worC The Rev. Perkins Predicts a New Uprising from the Present Revolution. Boston, 22. 'Rev.

Henry Poor Perkins, a missionary at Lin Ching, in Tien Tsin province, the center of the present trouble, has written a most Interesting letter to relatives In Worcester, this state, in which he predicts a new China rising from the present revolution. He also tells of the escape of himself and his wife to Kobe college in Japan, where he is at present stopping with many other missionaries. He refers to a letter sent from Chln-anfu, but which has not been received, and then describes the scenes dn that city, the capital of Shantung, early in July, when the refugees embarked. His letter Is as follows: "Kobe College, July 18. Dear Friends: My last was written in the capital of Shantung, Chinanfu the letter may have reached you or may not have.but I will suppose that it did, and begin at that place.

The third party of refugees got off on the small boats leaving Mr. Hamilton of the Presbyterian mission, and myself to wait for the parly expected from Honan In about a week. "One of the days spent there was the day fixed for the destruction of the place. Also, the Chinese were busy putting up posters calling for the destruction of foreigners and all things foreign. An imperial edict from Pekin to something of the some purport was also posted, but Tuan, the governor, put out a respectable one for the purpose of neutralizing it.

"It seems to us Shantung missionaries that Tuan has done for foreigners about all any one working under Chinese government could do to hold down the forces of anarchy. He kept a good guard at the mission place in Chinanfu. and no attack was made. "After some six days we got a tele-grom sent overland from Lin Chlng, saying that the Honan people must go south. Both guard and carts had been refused them, and one of their stations had been destroyed.

So we made ready to go not alone exactly for he had a guard of ten soldiers, and the Franciscans, with a guard, were also going at the same time. "We got down to near the sea in two and a half days, but1 had to lie at the last town two nights, partly to wait for our steamer and partly to wait for the Franciscans, who had come slower and who sent "back for a larger guard. However, we put out to sea to find our steamer, which could not anchor near land, and were glad to see her smoke about ten miles from our town. "The last night at this place had been rathr unpleasant, as the Boxers had a gathering and exercises there in sight of our boat, and our Chinese were badly scared. We had some twenty refugees, most of them from Chili, who had gathered in Chinanfu, and had sad tales of having seen their families killed and their homes burned.

When we left Chinanfu things had not got so bad in Shantung, but threats were freely made and no one can now say how much or how little has been. done. "I very much fear that most of the little Christian communities formed in North China will be badly scattered and tern all through these months. In the larger places, such as Lluching, where the government can, if it wishes, use soldiers to guard Christians, life and property may perhaps be generally preserved. "We reached Che Foo on July 9 and then went to Mojl, which I reached last Monday night.

"Thursday a great crowd of refugees came from Tien-Tsin. For some two weeks the S50 women and children in Tien-Tsin had to live together in the town hall," the safest place, but some of the shells even got in there and burst. However, none were killed. Living without change of clothing was, of course, pretty hard. They did not take off their clothing most of the time.

"We cannot yet know about Pekin and all the friends there. We know that they must have suffered all sorts of sorrows. Whether they are alive we cannot say. There has been terrible massacres outside the legattons and probably no telegraph operator is to be found to-day In Pekin. "I think that all who have lived In China feel that at last we have come to the place where old China ends and new China begins.

This tremendous revolution cannot leave things as they were. If China can be held together while a reasonable protection is received for foreign life and property and toleration of the interests of civilization and Christianity I shall rejoice. "How this can be done I am sure I fail to see, and a hundred times better a divided China with a law and order than a united China, with the kind of governments we have thus far seen. My personal idea is that China will have to be divided and at least sent to sohool for a generation or two. "The Japs are a lively and go-ahad people.

They are. I should say. fifty years ahead of China in outside things, although in character, perhaps, not so far ahead. They are lovers of change, while the Chinese love the old paths. Now, however, a few of the old Chinese have begun to cut off their queues to show their disgust at the ruling government, and everything In this line will now.

go on at a faster rate. "The present rule of anarchy cannot last long, I believe, and soon, perhaps, will come the call for us to reorganize our work, which at present has been so battered into the dust."

Jenkins Enflea His Life by Drinking; Garlic Acifl. A GROOM OF TWO MONTHS Was One of the Best Known Young Men in ew Castle, Pa. DEED COMMITTED AFTER DELIBERATION Letter L.eft by the Unfortunate Young llan Shows That lie Waa Under Great Mental Strain. New Castle, Aug. 22.

R. Edward Jenkins, aged twenty-one years, committed suicide toy drinking carbolic acid here to-day. Jenkins, who was married only two months ago to Miss Daisy Biddle, who is connected with one of the oldest families here, has been caught robbing his employer -and, unable to stand the disgrace of the discovery, took his own life. He was one of the best known young men of the city and the affair has caused the most intense excitement. Last Saturday Jenkins was caught toy his employer, David W.

Hanna, toy aid of marked money. Detectives were working on the case and when they demanded the money, Jenkins turned it over to them with the remark that it was the first he had ever taken. Friends feared that eJnkins would take his own life as a result of the exposure, and he was watched by the family, but this morning he arose and drank two ounces of carbolic acid, dying before physicians arrived. Jenklm committed the deed after mature deliberation and left the following letter, dated August 20: "To All My Friends: To whom I have always tried to be courteous and obliging with, I bid you farewell forever. As to me, as hard as I have tried to be, act and live as a gentleman, and at the most critical moment of life, that of marriage, to have such awful things cast up to me.

I thank you all, lor all kindnesses shown me, and hope to meet you all -in heaven." He was a young man of good education and the letter shows he was under great mental strain for it is badly disconnected. ROAST FOR CHAMBERLAIN His Boer War Policy Is Severely Scored by Labou-chere in Truth. London, Aug. 22. OFIenry Labouchere in "Truth" to-day publishes his letters to Montage White, the former consul general for the Boers In London, which were found at Bloemfonteln, and which Joseph Chamberlain recently referred to in the commons as treasonable.

The letters are quite inocuous but their publication gives "Labby" a chance to "roast" Chamberlain on his Boer war policy to the extent of two columns. Pretoria, Aug. 22. Captain Cordua, charged with toeing the ring leader in the conspiracy to kidnap Lord Roberts and recapture Pretoria, has been found guilty on all the points in the indictment. Sentence has been deferred until Lord Roberts confirms Cordua's conviction.

Pretoria, Aug. 22. Eight thousand Boers, under Commander in Chief Louis Doth, General Meyer, Hen Schalk-Bur-ger, General Fourle and General Smuts, are now at Machadorp, about 140 miles east of Pretoria, with the whole Boer artillery. It ds. believed they would evacuate the place with little resistance if attacked and reconcentrate at Bushveldt, further east, whither General De Wet is also moving.

General Paget engaged De Wet's rear guard yesterday. London, 'Aug. 22. Lord Roberts reports a general movement of troops under Generals Hamilton, Carrington, Baden Powell and Paget in a northeasterly direction, following the route taken by General De Wet. As De Wet is seeking to Join hands with the main Boer force east of Pretoria it is probable that Roberts is planning an engagement designed to crush the Boer army.

Generals Buller and French are expected to co-operate In this movement from the south. TlilJ CHOLERA AT BOMBAY. Washington, Aug. 22. United States Conusul Fee at Bombay, cabled the state department to-day that cholera is rasing there.

He gives no particu- lai Asbury Park, N. Aug. 22. Senator Hanna made his first speech of the campaign at the Republican rally here last night. Although he spoke but a few minutes, while Colonel Curtis Guild of Boston, the chief speaker, delivered an address of some length, it was plain that it was Mr.

Hanna who was the chief drawing card. Mr. Hanna'B address was largely an exhortation to his hearers to get out and work and to realize that the burden could not be shifted to others, if they wished to defeat Bryan. THE NEBRASKAN ATTACKS TRUSTS A Crowd of 2,500 People Brave the Rain to Hear Bryan: Lincoln, Aug. 22.

Bryan enthusiasm was given a severe test yesterday. Rain came down In torrents for two hours at Wahoo before Bryan arrived, yet 2,500 Democrats and Populists met the Democratic candidate at the depot and escorted him to the court house yard, where for one hour they listened to him speak. In part he said: "I want to talk to you Republicans, believing that you are Just as anxious to help your. country and help your fellows by your vote as the Democrat, the Populist and the Silver Republicans are. I want to Show, if I can, that it is your duty to vote with us this fall, if you were with us in 1896 there is no reason why you should be against us now unless the new questions have changed your opinions, or unless you have changed your opinions on the old questions.If not, I want to talk with you about some of the new issues for a little while, and see if there is a man who voted with us on the old issues who believes the Republican party to be right on the new ones.

"The Republican party is showing today the very same policy on these other questions that it tried on the money question in 1S96. They attack the trust question In their platform. and yet you cannot read a Republican paper without finding a defense of the trusts. Let every man ask himself how the trusts are going to help him. Suppose you want to buy barb wire or oil.

Haven't you a right to inquire why it has gone up? You know the Republicans "for years told us what a blessing the Standard Oil company was to reduce the price of oil. Yet they have declared dividends so far of 40 per cent. The trust formations will raise the price of what you have to use and the Republican party allows it to be done. There were more trusts organized under the Republican administration during the last three and a half years than were organized in the previous history of the country. "It is only a little more than two years- ago that the president sent a message to congress, In which he raid that forcible annexation is contrary to our code of morality, and yet to-diy Republicans are asked to approve of a thing that was denounced as criminal aggression and against our code of morality less than three years ago.

"In regard to the Philippine question, Mr. McKinley in Boston a year ago said that no sordid doctrine entered into the question, but it was Just destiny and duty, and yet when Senator Lodge came from the city of Boston to preside as chairman of the Republican convention he made a speech in which he said the Republican party made no hypocritical pretenses, but what we want is trade, and we want to extend that trade. Mr. Lodge r.ow says that we are interested in the Philippines for the United States, and the trade question is the great question. Yes; the trade question is a question that has an Important influence in determining the policy of the government in the Philippine question.

Take away the trade argument and you could not find a respectable guard to keep watch over the remains of Imperialism." AECTIC EXPLORER DEAD Capiain Wilson Who Won Fame as the Navigator of Kane's Expedition. New York, Aug. 22. Captain John Wall Wilson, who was one of the two survivors of the second Grinnell Arctic expedition, died yesterday In Brooklyn from the effects of an operation for appendicitis. Captain Wilson was sixty-nine years old.

After three years of suffering at Etah and other points in northern Gr.ianiand, they were themselves rescued.

"Washington, Aug. 22. By direction of the president this message was sent to General Chaffee last night: "Report operations, situation, requirement." Upon the answer to these instructions the future policy of this government will largely depend. At the present time the administration feels that it has too little information upon these Points to declare its fixed intention. It is realized that Minister Conger has suffered too much, mentally and Physically, In the siege of the legations, to be able at present to undertake the necessary investigation.

It is even HAVE MINISTERS GONE? Reported That They Have Already Set Out for the Coast. London, 'Aug. of more fighting along the recent line of march of the allies is expected at any time. The reinforcements which left Tien Tsin a few days ago for Pekin are likely to meet with some resistance at Peitsang and other points of vantage from which the first column of the allies dislodged the Chinese two weeks ago. According to reports, forces of Chinese, several thousand strong, are active along the road between Tien Tsin and Pekin, and the break in the wires is certainly due to them.

No fear is expressed that the reappearance of the Chinese along the railroad line will prove a menace to the security of the forces In Pekin. It 13 believed the reinforcements will be able to disperse them without difficulty. As soon as the line can be sufficiently garrisoned, the ministers are expected to start for the coast. A report that they have already started Is not confirmed. GOSSIP AS TO THE QUEEN.

Rumor That Wilhelmina Is Ah out to Announce Her Engagement to Prince Adolf. Berlin, Aug. 22. The report that Queen Wilhelmina of Holland is about to announce her engagement to Prince Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg-Scwearin, calls attention to the fact that Prince Adolf completes an even dozen of young princes whose names have been associated matrimonially with that of the young Holland queen within the past year or two. Her first love, according to rumor, was Prince William of Wied, and a pretty romance was talked of because of the fact that Pauline.

Princess of Wurtenburg, Wil-helmina's girl friend, married William of Wied's elder brother. At one time it was strongly rumored that Wilhelmina would marry Freder-ich William, the crown prince of Germany. Among her other suitors were Prince Nicholas, of Greece, and Prince Louis Napoleon. Adolf Friedrich was born In Berlin in 1873, and is a captain in the Prussian Guard. He is not tall, but is powerfully built and distinguished himself in 1895 by making a long distance ride from Cairo to Berlin.
