C'ltll War In IVkln May Have Liven of
Cori'lcniTi,
A London, July it Hi, special says:
With the foreigners in Pcklit probably
safe amid civil war with Prince Ching
on their side, with the powers united
and their forces constantly Increasing,
the outlook in Chirm is now ratller
more hopeful than It lias been for a
month past. It appears from the cau
tious statement given out by Tao Tai
Sheng in Shanghai that the reason that
the heavy guns bearing on the lega
tions at Pekln were not used Is that
Prince Chlinr. who Is served by 10,000
troops, seized all the artillery" ammu
nition: Sheng likewise intimates that
Vuiig Lit. commander-in-chief of the
northern army, is associated with
Prince Uilng in opposing Prince Titan's
ferocious designs and dictatorial am
bitlon. Sheng, who appear to be tbo
sole Shanghai conduct of Pekln news,
cheers the foreign consuls by the con
lldential communications, but tukes
excessive precautions to prevent tlio
Chinese from thinking him friendly to
me loreigners.
The feeling of unrest in tin southern
Btid central provinces continues. The
members of the official classes In those
provinces strive to remain neutral,
with a leaning toward the foreigners,
until they hall see whether the mod
erate or extreme factions will win in
Pekln. Prince Ching seems to be
standing for the dynasty and the old
order against Prince Titan's iuordin.to
ambition.

W. J, Hryan of Nebraska was unan
imously placed in nomination as Un
democratic candidate for president of
tlie Fnited States on a platform oppos
ing imperialism, militarism and trust
and specially declaring for the free
coinage of silver at 10 to 1. The nom
ination came as the culmination of a
demonstration in honor of the party
leader, lasting twenty-seven minutes
and giving utterance to all the nent-iui
emotions of tlie vast multitude. It
followed also a fierce struggle through
out the last thirty-six hours concern
ing the platform declaration on silver
and on the relative position which tlie
silver question is to maintain to the
gold issues of the day.
The first session, ' beginning Thurs
day morning, was entirely fruitless of
results ami it was not until late in the
afternoon when the second session had
begun that the platform committee
was at last able to report an agree
ment. Already its main features, em
bodying the 1(5 to 1 principle, had be
come known to the delegates and
there was little delay in giving it
unanimous approval .This removed the
last chance for an open rupture on
questions of principle and left the
waj clear tor the supreme event of the
day the nomination of the presiden
tial candidate.
