Sept 22 Whether tho action of Gen OtKs in prohibiting the landing of Chinese in the Philippines will lead to complications with the Chinese government isNiot known, but that China 1b keenly interested in tbe matter is shown by the active steps she is taking to have the decree modified or rescinded. The Chinese minister, acting under instructions from the home government, hae already made two visits to the state department in search of information, and today he again called and had a long interview with Asst Sea Hill, who in the absence of Sec Hay is the head of the state department.

Regarded Ramsdeil. on election of a delegation to the next national convention which could be depended upon to support George Fred Williams in any plans that gentleman might formulate to secure to himself national recognition. It was no question as to the fidelity of the delegation to Bryan, the state committee knowing that whomever were chosen by democrats in this commonwealth to go to Chicago would have to be Bryan men. It was for Williams, and Williams alone, that a delegation was desired, and the state committee deter-mired to have such a delegation, by fair means or foul.

The necessities of the case compelled the adoption of the latter, as the proceedings of the convention clearly show. With a test imposed such as the state committee prescribed it was doubtful if the districts would be bound by it, and to set the doubt at rest they were de-bo red from the usual and democratic method of expressing their preferences. This done it was next incumbent on the conspirators to pack the convention, and this was accomplished by making use of the warring factions in the Boston democracy. A11 who witnessed the scenes of the convention saw that n.obs from the fighting wards of Boston were contend ing on the floor, and remarked upon the superior size and strength of the state committees mobs. Carefully Laid Plan.

The fact of the convention being held in Boston illustrates the carefully laid plan of the state committee to take advantage of the forces which a stirring up of animosities In the metropolis would bring to its aid. If all the men marshaled in the hall from Boston and serving under the state committees banner were duly elected delegates, then there must have been an extraordinary Increase In the quotas of Boston wards over what they were allowed at previous conventions. As a means of affording Boston politicians opportunities to wipe out old scores, the convention was a decided success, but as a means of eliciting a full and fair expression of the sentiment of Massachusetts democracy it was a most lamentable failure. I have sufficient admiration for well executed strategy to appreciate the masterly manner in which the scheme to rob the people of a voice In public affairs was carried through, and I am lost In contemplation of the profound gulf which exists between the preaching of Continued on tbe TweJftH Page.

Sept 23 lion Walter L. Ramsdeil. nominated for auditor at the democratic state convention held in Mechanics hall, Boston, yesterday, has declined to stand, and ha3 written a letter to Hon William S. McNary, chairman of the convention and secretary of the state committee, giving his reasons for such action. The letter is as follows: Hon William S.

McNary, Secretary Democratic State Committee, Boston. Mass: Dear Sir In the convention held Thursday in Mechanics hall, alleged to be a convention of the democratic party: of Massachusetts, my name was presented and accepted as a nominee for the office of state auditor. If in the course of the arbitrary and despotic conduct of the proceedings following the announcement of the list of nominees I had been given an opportunity to do so, I should have declined the nomination on the spot. Having been refused recognition, I am compelled to forward a declination by mail, which I beg you to transmit to the committee authorized to fill vacancies on. the state ticket.

While very grateful to those who selected my name for the nomination and to the convention for accepting the same, I am not sensible of any particular honor conferred thereby. On the contrary, as the nomination places me in more or less direct association with the authors of Thursdays wicked perversion of democratic principles, I am compelled to regard it as a disgrace. The control of the democratic organization in this commonwealth has been obtained by an element which in the beginning stood for loyalty to William Jenning3 Bryan and the Chicago platform, and as such was entitled to the support of all democrats who were faithful to the regenerated party. In the contests which were waged in 1896 and 1897 to secure that element in its position it was the duty and pleasure of all loyal democrats to stand by the state organization against attacks from within the party lines. In none of these contests was there any abrogation of democratic principles or any attempt to make use of other success of strength than the rule of an honestly elected majority.

Equity and Justice. In the position taken by the democratic party in this state it was obliged to base its appeal for public support on grounds of equity and justice, and its progress depended on keeping faith with the people in matters of principle. The example of democracys greaA national leader in relying solely on the sense of justice among the people, and discountenancing the intrigues and sharp practices of the unscrupulous politician, was one which the democratic organization in this state was in duty bound to follow, if it aimed to gain and hold public confidence. As the time approached for marshaling forces in another national campaign, the requirement of strict fidelity to the principles of democracy became more than ever incumbent on the party organization in this commonwealth. There would have been no occasion for abandoning this position at the present time were It not for the apprehension of individuals whose political fortunes are staked upon democratic success in 1900.

The belief has been growing among democrats that much of the energy expended in recent times in maintaining a strong state organization has been exerted in behalf of those wticse interest in party success was more personal than otherwise. Evidence points to an Increasing domination of party affairs by private interests ascending superior to party welfare. To the minds of many the purpose of building up a powerful organization for the party's sake has been subordinate to the purpose of erecting a potent machine for George Fred Williams' sake. State and City. The most prominent fact history will record about the state convention just held was the open alliance of the state organization certain elements of the Boston democracy.

There was a time when the party in the state at large was appealed to to uphold the state organization against the advances of the so-called Boston machine. The memorable contest at Worcester In 197 was an instance in point, where the issue was clearly drawn on that lin1. and the state rallied in force sufficient to completely overwhelm the hostile element. But changes have apparently taken place. A growing disposition on the part of the state at large to shake off the domination of leaders whose underlying motives have been gradually becoming apparent has warned tho state committee that its hold was becoming weakened, ard thus it found It expedient to easf about for new methods whereby to maintain itself and the leader to whom it was submissive in all things.

The point to too gained this year, the state committees view, was tbe FRANCIS E. CLAY BADLY INJURED. Dorchester Man, 65 Years Old, Was Struck by an Electric Car, and tt Is Thought He Will Die. Francis D. Clay, a carpenter, whose home is at 221 KUton st, Dorchester, received injuries in being struck by an electric car, yesterday, which will prob-j ably prove fatal.

Mr Clay is 65 years old. About oclock he started across Washington collu-fst. at the corner of Park, just as an trTurl rising: tem- inward bound electric came He 7 .7 hl1 vari.ivic. tracks and thrown some distance. He was picked uy unconscious, and was taken to the etty hospital, where I it was learned that his rivht thgh was fractured, right ankle broken, head cut, and that he sustained internal injuries.

Hon P. A. Collins, Mr Charles F. Cass, son of the colonel. Col Donovan and all the present officers of the 9th regiment, besides a number of relatives of the hero.

23, at the'' old stand, 26 Hanover St. New store and entire new stock. Come, early and inspect our latest Fall Styles. many of the veterans who served under Col Cass up to the time of his death at the battle of Malvern Hill, and in fact throughout the war. These veterans, with their tattered and torn battle flags, were seated in the rows of seats that fronted the monument, and made the spectacle a picturesque and pathetic one, for of tbe 1700 men that belonged to this regiment during the war only 153 are alive today, and most of them bear traces of the sufferings they endured in the course of their services in defense of the flag.

In addition to the regular battle flags was the little torn green flag of Ireland, with the Inscription Erin go Bragh under the white harp. The monument is a splendid memorial to the dead hero of the 9th, and Boston is vastly richer in artistic wealth through its possession. It is no wonder that this bronze figure took a gold medal in the highest artistic tribunal in the world the Paris salon. It is undoubtedly the best single figure monument in Boston. It is not so much a monument to Col Cass as it is a spirited tribute to all the Irish American soldiers that went to the front In 61, and it symbolizes a type of soldier engaged in that struggle in such a manner that it is destined to become famous.

It is heroic in every line and worthy the spirit which animated the entire north at the time. There is strength and determination in the pose, and it is not the kind of pose that a soldier would take in front of a camera, but the determined bearing of a manwho is engaged in a serious conflict, and is ready to meet death at any moment, and withal It has the element of distinction and dignity in that bearing which would naturally go with the responsibilities of the office of colonel of a regiment. Take it all in all it is typical of the spirit and bearing and dress Of the soldier of 61, and of the grand cause in which he fought Sculptor Richard E. Brooks is to be congratulated on the success of his work, for it is no ordinary success it proves him to be an artist of rare and felicitous insight into the spirit and motives which should underly any work of sculpture or in fact any work of art. This statue in a sense reflects the martial spirit of the north during the war of the rebellion in about the same way that Macmonnies' statue of Nathan Hale reflects the spirit arid determination of the colonists in their fight against English tyranny.

This new statue has been erected on the site of the old one, not far from the corner of Bovlston and Arlington sts. Owing to the weather tbe official unveiling had to be postponed from last Wednesday until yesterday afternoon at 4 oclock. The weather was most auspicious yesterday and the foliage in the gardens was as green almost as if it were the middle of summer. A grand Stand had been erected to the right of the statue on the Beylstcn st side for the city officials and invited guests, and rows of seats sufficient to accommodate about 309 people ere placed in front of the statue for the members of the old 9th regiment association and their friends.
