In view of the International character of
the nttnek upon and capture of the Taku
forts some Interest may be felt In the fol-
owing statement prepared by Major Simp

burer.u of tho War department-
Taku Is situated at the mouth of the P'c
Ho on the southern hank of the river, about
sixty-seven miles from Tien Tsln, with
hluh It is connected by a railroad. It is
noted for thu three engagements that have
taken place there between the British nnd
the Chinese. Part of tho Tien Tsln army
corns has modern organization, drill and
rms anil Is stationed nt the Taku forts. Be
tween Taku and Tien Tsln, the center of
the defenses nnd chief arsenal of northern
China, are permanent camps, where there
re usually 30.000 troops, inrantry, cavniry
nd artillery, armed with Mauser rifles and
Krupp guns. The cavalry also carry Mauser
carblns, These troops have been well in
tructed for ten or twelve years by foreign
ftlcers. Tho arma.nent of tho Taku forts
consists of very heavy Krupp guns and tho
approaches to the forts from tho Gulf of
'echlle aro extremely difficult.
The fortifications consist of three forts, a
large one on tho right bank and two smaller
one on the left. All of the forts are armed
with numerous guns of the most varied
systems and calibers. In the construction
of all forts of the second zone the muddy
lav soil of the coast was used, which, dur
ine the dray season, becomes cracked and
crumbles very easily and the garrison Is
continually making repairs. In Taku are the

NEWS FROM FRENCH CONSUL

PARIS. June 18.-5:45 p. m. The French
consul general in South China, who was
Instructed to send Into Tonquln all the
French citizens nt Yunnan-Sen, cables (torn
th latter place, under date of Thursday,
June 14. that he had been prevented from
cnvlng wlh his companions by tho viceroy,
and that his house and nil the missions
have been burned. Ho ndds that every
th.nc. including their clothes, have ben
stolen, and that they are practically prls
oners.
The foregoing Is the situation referred to
by the French minister of foreign affairs
M. Delcasso, In his speech of Juno 11,
French troops aro massed on the Tonquin
frontier of China, but their march has been
delayed, ns the French authorities fear to
provoke an upriMng of the population and a
massacre of Europeans before the troops
could reach them.
M. Delcasse hns now summoned the Chi
neso minister to Paris and has requested him
to Immediately telegraph to the viceroy of
Yunnan-Sen that France will hold him per
sonally responsible for the lives of French
citizens.
hours ngo that Roosevelt's nomination was
foregone conclusion began asking "Well,
ho will It be?"
l.oiiE In III HIkIi I'nviir.
The answer was generally John D. Long
of Massachusetts, secretary of the navy. At
onco delegates began to reason that Long
must bo satisfactory to tho administration
of which he Is a part, or he would not be
candldnte for the place. This Idea re-
elved encouragement In quarters which
made the Massachusetts man a prime favor
ite. Of course thcro was talk of other men.
The friends ot Dolllvcr renewed their efforts
for the young Iowa orator. Thero was some
talk about Fairbanks, but the prevailing
feeling was that only men who wero will
ing to accept the place should be consld-
red. It was urged that a nunwilling can
didate was not advisable nnd therefore the
men mcst talked of wero Long and Dol-
llver, but with the general impression that
Long would be the ultimate selection, ami
o the stampede for Roosevelt was checked
and turned and that which seemed so cer
tain last night seems well nigh Impossible
tonight. Roosevelt himself, his close per
sonal friends working among delegates and
assuring them that tho nomination was not
desired by him, Senator Hanna and his lieu
tenants all working together, are respon
sible for this result. It has been a day of
hard work, of earnest endeavor, and to
night the men most Interested believe that
tho Roosevelt boom has finally been laid to
rest.

describing the turnout of the visiting and

Those who have attended previous demon

turnout of clubs in Chicago that was re
viewed by Blaine nnd Logan preceding the
election of 18S4.
The police had prepared for the demon
stration of tonight by roping Broad street
early In the afternoon, carrying out the
Washington Idea of clearing Pennsylvania
avenuo for parade purposes. It was a wise
forethought, for before dusk Phlladelphla'0
appropriately named thoroughfare was a
mass of humanity, which tugged at tho
cables llko an ocean liner. The entire line
of march was a crush, but that section of
the street between the city hall and the
Hotel Walton was conspicuously animated
It was In this section that there wns tho

In the prcarrangeracnt of tonight's parade
It had been decided, In spite of an expressed
sentiment by many of the clubs, to per
mlt nothing In tho line antagonistic to
civil service. At one time a determina
tion by some of the clubs to accentuate
antl-clvl! service threatened to breed bad
feelinc and tho committee In charge sue
ceeded In eliminating what it considered an
objectionable feature. There were, how
ever, two violations of tho order. On one
transparency mounted on a wagon was this
motto: "The civil servico law disqualifies
all over the age of 45 years."
On another, carried by a club on foot,
wns this: "We nre opposed to tho clvlt

Tho only demonstration In tho line In
behalf of a vice presidential candidate was
the display by one club of twenty streamers,
on which "Dolllver" was painted In big
letters.
Mnroheil In KIrM Division
Tho parade was divided Into eight divi
sions, in which there were more than eighty
local clubs and about twenty visiting pollt
leal organizations. Tho out ot town clubs
wero scattered through the eight sections
and were escorted by tho club which waB
assigned to entertain the visiting club men.
Tho Unconditional club of Albany, N. Y
was the only visiting organization In the
first division and was escorted by tho
Twenty-first Ward association.
Tho famous Cook County Republican

Tariff club of Pittsburg, tho William J

FAIR PLAY FOR THE DEBTOR
Credit Men Consider llov Ilnnkriiits
SUould ne Trenteil with Justice
to All.
The Omaha delegates to tho convention
of the National Association of Credit Men,
which was held In" Milwaukee on June 12,
13 and 14, have returned and report a most
successful meeting. There were about 300
in attendanco from all parts of the country
and a great deal ot enthusiasm was dis
played. Tho Milwaukee branch of the as
sociation lost no opportunity to ruako their
guests welcome and gave .especial attention
to entertaining tho women visitors.
The greatest effor(s .of .the convention
wero directed townrd perfecting the present
bankruptcy law. The association recog
nizes tho fact that the law us It stands at
present is framed along tho right lines, hut
at the same time It Is defective In such
ways as to encourage tho dishonest debtor
and at the same time discourage the honest
debtor. Local credit men claim that they
have lost heavily on account of the pres
ent law and that they have about given up
trying to collect anything from n man after
ho goes Into bankruptcy, as they always
have plenty of liabilities but no assets
What the credit men aro working for Is to
so nmend the present law thnt It will pre
vent dishonest morchants from escaping
their debts.
Another step that was taken by the con
ventlnn wns to favor the passing of laws In
tbo several states requiring a man to give
duo notice to all his creditors beforo selling
his stock of goods in tho bulk. At present
It Is possible for a merchant to close out
his stock of goods nnd uhen that Is done
the Jobbers who arc carrying him aro prac
tically powerless. If a law wero passed
along tho lines suggested nnd the law dis
obeyed tho purchaser as well as tho seller
of the stock of goods would be held re
sponsible.

policy has matured and shows the following results :
1. Cash, $150,847
2. Paid-up Assurance, 210,000
3. Annuity for Life, - 20,320
At the same time Mr. Gooderham took out a policy of
the same kind for the same amount and with the same
premium, in another company; the cash return on which was
$15,000 less than on the Equitable policy.
Here is what Mr. Gooderham says of his results:
"I have always been a strong advocate of Endowment Insurance, and about"
" the time I took your policy for $100,000 I placed $400,000 of Endowment "
" policies on my life in eight different companies. Of this amount $310,000 has "
" already matured. I have lived to see the result and to know what it means."
" These results realized by the Equitable are larger and more satisfactory "
" than any result ever realized by me on any of my policies which have matured "
" to date. I may say that they are quite satisfactory, and that no company"
" has ever done so well for me."
