Wlillo It Is a fact that I do occupy tho
samo position, perhaps, nmonr democrats
as Mr. Il'anna does among the republicans,
we are as different as day Is from r.Uht.
I believe the platform adopted at Kaus.is
City was tho mo.it magnificent declaration
of principles ever complied. I believe that
In November next the American tieonle will
enter a v edict that will make clad the
heartH of nil honest men throughout tho
world, und we will return to the princi
ples for which our forefathers shed their
blond 100 years bro and guarantee that It
will co down to those who come af'er its
as ;inre as It was In the hands of Wash
ington, JefTerson and Lincoln and the fath
ers of the republic as It will be with Ilryan.
We have no child's play before us In tho
campalan In which we Hre 'ibout to enter.
I believe that tho demorrats, the populists,
tho el.eatlsfled republicans whoso heurts
are madu sick bv the Imperialistic adminis
tration, and abhor the Idea that the gov
ernment of the United Stntes shall be con
trrlled by great trusts, will carry ub to
victory. Kach man must do his duty.
lOaeh man can do his part, Kvery man owes
It to hlmnelf and to his family to do all that
he can do, and to do that at all times, day
and nlzht, for our success. You can do It
In more ways than one. Yon catt do It by
tnlklnir to your neighbors nnd your friends,
by writing letters and by i-inurlbutlnr to

WASIUNOTON. July 0.-(Spcclal Tele-
grain. ) Within tho inner circles of the
Catholic church here there Is small belief
that Illshop Kenne will be appointed to the
vacant archbishopric of Dubuque, la., which
l tho metropolitan co of Iowa, .Nebraska
nnd Wyoming, before fall.lt then. There is
a powerful Cerman opposition to hint, not
only in Iowa but throuKhout the country,
nnd as thin Influence, coupled with Mouslg-
nor Satolll's,. defeated Keauo for the arch
bishopric ot New Orleans, It may bo still
powerful enough to bring about Illshop
Keane's undoing when his name comes be
fore tho propoEMinla for consideration. The
cardinal prefect of tho propognnda, accord
ing to authentic Information, has left Home,
with a severe attack of the grippe, nnd is
not expected to return to tho Holy City
before early fall. Ills absence, however,
might not deter action If prompt nnd de
cisive action were required, but as there
Is no Immediate necessity for hasto and as
all such matters of right go to tho cardinal
prefect It will be seen that there Is gooj
reason for anticipating no action until late
In September or October.
I'ruuciia of lllrctlon.
I'roccduro In case of tho nomination of
an archbishop is Intricate and compares
somewhat to procedure lu the supreme court
of tho United States. 1'apcrn In the case
first go to a porson known In the church
as mlnutnnte, who prepares an abstract of
all papers In his possession. This abstract
Is then gone over by tho cardinal prefect of
tho propoganda, two secretaries and the
minutauto who briefed tho case, is revised
and then printed for tho benefit ot the
eardlnnlB who make up tho propoganda,
fourteen or fifteen in number. One of tho
cardfnals Is then designated to write an
opinion and Is known as rotientc, Just as a
Justice of the supreme court is designated
to write an opinion in a case, each taking
his turn. Tho cardinal Intrusted with tho
'preparation of tho opinion receives the
original documents nnd he goes over them
in extonso. Just as tho mlnutante did orlg
Inally, and having arrived at a conclusion
reads his finding beforo the propoganda,
which votes to affirm or dlsafllrm. This Is
the unlversul course In tho making of
bishops, archbishops and other exalted per
sonages of the church, and is never departed
from, so that any uctlon of the propoganda
in Hlshop Kenne's case hardly seems pos
slblo before fall, when the cardinals resume
their sittings after vacation.

MACIAHA FALI.S. nT Y., July 9. Peter
Nlssen of Chicago, or Mr. Bowser, ns ho
st he himself, went through the Whirlpool
rapids of the Niagara river this afternoon
In tho presence ot about 10,000 persons, In
his crnit, the "Foolklller."
Tho bout was" towed to a rick about a
mil. above the rapids and secured. The
point was dltllcult to leach by olllclals from
cliher tho American or Canadian shore,
who might have be.cn desirous of Interfer
ing. Shortly after 3 o'clock Mr. llowser
was seen on his boat. A little later James
Lalland pulled up In n row boat and towed
tho Foolklller, with Bowser aboard, Into
the current. At 3;b7 the start down stream
was actually begun, but the fickle eddies
kept the Foolklller drifting umll 4. CO, when
she got In the whirlpool current and started
for tho final plunge. Passing under the
cantilever bridge, the bo.it took on tho
speed of an express train. Bowser threw
his onr far from hliu and waved his cap.
The crowd eaw the craft rlae on tho crest
of a smooth wave nnd then dive Into the
leaping spray and disappear. Tho strange
craft turned over and oVer like a top, roll
ing and plunging until It passed a bend
in tho river, nnd tho most perilous part
of the Journey had been passed. The buoy
ant craft kept on the crtst of tho wave
until submerged again on the verge of the
whirlpool.
Shooting Into the whirlpool the Foolklller
swung around nnd went down llko a flshlnj
bob, but rose a;?aln quickly. For the next
tlfty-flve minuted Bowser nnd his boat cir
cled around the whlrlpcol. Shortly before C
o'clock the Foolklller was carried out to
the edge of the rapids and a line was thrown
by Bowser to men on shore, who hauled him
In. His first question was: "How Is that
for Bowser?" .
Bowser warmed himself at a fire built on
the shore and put on dry clothing and ap
peared to be llttlo the worse for his mad
ride.
"Had I known Juet how bsd the whirlpool
rnplils are I would nevor have attempted
that trip," ho Bald.
"After I had passed through the first big
wnvea I realized that my hat had been
washed off. Then some moro waves came
over and I did not know where I was. 1 did
not know whnt was going on until I came
out ot tho whirlpool. During that time It
seemed n hundred hammers were pounding
my head and my boat. 1 never turned over,
but we were on our side or end several
times, and each time I thought I was a
goner. If It had not been for tho shouldor
straps which I put on the last minute, I
would have been hurled to death. I was
conscious of nothing except the fearful sen
sntlon ot being overwhelmed with blows
from every side. I was mighty cold nnd
tired when I came out ot the whirlpool.
Three or four times my breach was nearly
gono and then the water would open and
I would get a breath of air. I could not
uso my steering apparatus. When I got
Into the rapids tho water took complete con
trol ot the boat and I simply clung on and
tried to keep my breath In my body."
CHICAGO, July . F. M. Bowser Is tho
fall-shooting alias of Peter Nlssen, who
lives In Chicago, Nlssen is a Dane .17 yearis
old and la a bookkeeper. His boat was
finished in this city last May, requiring
thirteen months to complete it. After a trial
trip on Lako Michlgnn It was shipped to
Niagara Falls on June 2S.
Tho Foolklller is twenty feet long and
four feet deep and Is made of two-Inch pine
with four air-tight compartments. The kee
weighs 1,250 pounds.

Bear Admiral Lord Charles Beresfnrd,
speaking nt Malta nt tho Naval and Mil
itary society on Sunday evening, said the
troublo In China would be far-reaching and
disastrous In Kb consequences to British
trado there. It would be a military, not a
maritime, war, and the powers that could
place on the spot the greatest number of
troops would eventunlly have substantial ad
vantages. The powers not consenting to
the open door, particularly Hussla. he do
clarcd, would eventually gain supremncy.
Ho said it was a pity that his proposals re
epectlng the reorganization of tho Chinese
army had not been accepted by tho British
government with n view to tho possibility
of a general war. Lord Beresford nd
vocated an imperial conference to which all
the colonies should bo Invited to discuss
scheme of defense.
TROOPS GO DIRECT TO CHINA
Amrrli'iin Murium Orilrrril to Hull on
the t'lmt Army Trans
port. WASHINGTON, July 9 Secretary Long
this afternoon ordered COO marines to bo as
eembled from the navy yards und sent to
China. It Is significant that these are the first
military forces to be sent directly from the
United States to China, without Instructions
to stop at Nagasaki for orders. The marines
will make up a force of 760 men, as the de
partment already has given orders for the
equipment of 250 marines for similar service.
They will be sent out on the first army
transport available tor the service.
Developments In the Chinese situation
were considered by the cabinet today. Rfc'
suits followed lu the shape of renewed na
tivity In the dispatch of reinforcements to
China. Admiral Kempff's cablegram giving
his estimate of tho force regarded as neces
sary to represent the United 8tatcs properly
In the movement upon Pekln was carefully
considered. An agreement was reached to
say nothing about tho admiral's figures, s
It would bo impolitic to make our neeli
known to the Chinese, in the first Instance,
and also because ot a desire on the part ot
this government to avoid being put In the
position of appearing to sot up a standard
tor the other powers In this matter. It ll
understood, however, that tho pith of Ad
miral Kempff's communication Is the nccss-
slty of ipeely re'uforcements, If quick action
is desired. On the latter polt-t there Is not
a dlssontlout voice among the cabinet of
ficers. If reinforcements are to be gotten to
China speedily they cannot come from the
United States. According to the schedule
already In execution, only one steamer,
with two battullons ot ono regiment, had
started from San Francisco and the next
steamer is not to start before the 15th of
tho present month. This Is about the best
time that can be made with tho present fa
cilities and at that rate many weeks and
even months must elapso beforo the 6,000
additional troops ordered east on Saturday
can be landed there.
This state of affairs caused a revival today
ot tho report that General MacArthur Is to
be again called upon to relieve the situation
by dispatching from tho Philippines at least
two regiments In addition to the Ninth In
fantry, already sent to Taku. It was Bald
that the cabinet officers considered this sub
ject and decided to give orders looking to n
replacement of tho troops withdrawn from
General Mac Arthur's command from the
force going from the United States. None
of tho cabinet officers would admit or deny
this, so It gained some measure ot credence.
UnleFs Japan Is to be left to do all of the
fighting lu the Immediate future General
MacArthur must respond to this demand.
By drawing upon the Philippine force at
least a month could bo saved In landing
troops In China.
The Russian nnd French charge and tho
Chlncso minister were among Secretary
Hay's callers today. Save the Chlneso min
ister they came, as they said, for informa
tion, hut It Is surmised that their object
was also to reassure Secretary Hay as to tho
willingness of the governments of Kuasln
nnd Franco to allow Japan a free hand In
tho matter of landing troops In China to
quell tho Boxer disturbance. Thero Is a
suggestion In the. air that this perfect un
derstanding may have been brought about
through the quiet acceptance of at least one
most Important condition. What this condi
tion Is cannot he lrnrned, though It Is sus
pected to relate to territorial acquisitions.
