which private property was treated In the

wilful and needless damage Is visible every
where and houses, when not completely

Ingenuity. That this has been done with
tho consent of the loaders is proved by the
fact that while In Charlcstown every bouss

nccordlng to reports from Capetown, that
tho ministerial crisis will soon be ended by
tho formation of a cabinet by Sir Jo'-n

special the cabinet, beside Mr. Rcse-Innls,

Mrs. Chant Is suffering like other workers
from the Incessant din of piano organs and
other alleged musical Instruments In the res

grinder off and if he refucea she summons
them. Tho summonses have become so nu

Mrs. Chant is very well known In America,
having made a lecture tour there In 1SSC.
As a reformer she Is be3t known for her
crusade against the abuse of the promenade

prejudice against music halls as such. In

coming through Tien Tsln that the Boxore
have massacred a number of native con-
i verts and servants of foreigners in tho East.
City of Pekln. tbo bltuatlon In tho far
cathedral at Pekln. the situation in the far
east appears perceptibly graver. To add to
the difficulties couus th9 news this morning
I that telegraphic communication between
Shanghai and Tien Tsln Is totally Inter
rupted. Consequently tho prevailing un-
; certainty as to tho facts and possibilities of
I tho position will be accentuated.
I It la generally recognized now that tho
I position of t'Jo foreigners at Pekln Is pcrll-
; ous, as there Is but a short stop from the
ma-acre of tho servants of foreigners to
tho killing o tho foreigners themselves.
"If a massacre Is averted," says tho Spec
tator, "and the palaco reduced to seeming
obcdlcnco tho grand difficulty will be to
decide on tho next step. Tbo powers can
neither encamp permanently In Tekln nor
lcavn until It Is established that tho gov
ernment U prepared to repect international
obligations and ablo to hold China together.
If anarchy breaks out In China the object of
tho powers Is defeated. The failure or suc
cess of tho present effort may Involve a
scries of wars of which no man can see tho
end."
Continuing, tho Spectator suggests that an
egress from the present impasso must be
found In tbo appointment by tho representa
tives of tho powers of a competent vizier, as
has so often been successfully done In other
eastern crises. Otherwise tho hideous
calamity of China falling to pieces may in a
few months be exciting the cupidity and
overtaxing the capacity of all tho ruling
men.
Commenting upon the supposed hesitation
of the United States to actively participate
In the movement to suppress the Boxers, as
reported in cablo dispatches from Washing
ton, tho Statist says:
"No European power will misunderstand
the present hesitation of tho United States
and Jump at the conclusion that American
feeling and opinion may be disregarded.
The United States will undertake military
operations In China aa it did against Spain
if the protection of Its citizens require
them or if the powers threaten to oxelude
American merchants from their rights in
China acquired by treaty.- Unless the
British ministers muddle matters Great
Britain can reckon on the assistance of tbo
United States and Japan In maintaining, even
by force, tho policy of the open door In
China."
A cabinet meeting held today under the
presidency of Lord Salisbury was concerned
almost wholly with the situation in China.

LONDON. June 16. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The Chlncje
crisis now entirely overshadows tho South
African war news. This evening the news
of the killing of tho German minister and
tho attack on the foreign legations caused In
tense excitement In official quarters. No
confirmation up to tho timo of writing has
been received at the foreign office here, and
the officials there on Inquiry by me discred
ited tho report, though only on tho rather
doubtful ground that Baron Ketler could
only have been killed after the entire for
eign force had been overcome nnd mas
sacred, which evidently has not taken place.
Tho German embassy hero knew nothing of
tho Incident, but the character of the recent
Intelligence makes almost anything credit
able. Tho virtual helplcwness of England In the
far east at thla Important Juncture. Is re
garded to constitute a severe lesson to the
Jingoes of the folly andldanger wantonly
provoked In the South African entanglement.
Tho fate of the British government In Ku
massl is a matter of secondary urgency as no
International complications can ensue there
from, but tho Chinese Imbroglio Is a different
matter. .Much disappointment is expressed
hero at the line adopted by Secretary Hay,
as the Jingoes believed the United Statca
might now, by taking active measures to as
sert Anglo-Saxon Interests In China, repay
tho obligation under which they aver Amer
ica was placed by the British policy during
the Spanish war.
In this predicament the killing of the
German minister is regarded as a possible
blessing In disguise, as calculated to force
Germany's hand and thus erect a fresh bar
rier to Russian aggrandizement.

LONDON, June 17. I a. m Dispatches
from Shanghai dated last ovening state that
Admiral Seymour's force Is In a tight place
between Yang Fang and Yung Sun with
enormous masses of soldiers In front, while
tho Boxers with more soldiery are cutting
the railway In the rear. Tho Klang Nan ar
senal, outside of Shanghai, Is sending vast
quantities of munitions north.
All Is quiet nt Shanghai, by t trade has
been disrupted. It is stated that seven thou
sand Americans are coming from Manila and
that largo forces of Japanese are also en
route. The wires south of Tien Tsln have
been cut and the city telegraphically Iso
lated. According to a special from Vienna It is
stated In diplomatic circles there that the
question of intervention Is under discussion
by the powers. It Is proposed that Japan
shall act ns mandatory of the powers ami
re-establish order In Pekln and elsewhere.
This, It Is said, emanncs from England and
Is supported by Germany ami Austria, but
It is doubtful If Russia and France will
agree to the proposition. St. Petersburg re
ports that coramunle tlon between Kat-Oan
and Pekln has beci Intc-nipted. There Is
great excitement at Knl-Gan; -whore a mla
sionary has been attacked.
A special dispatch from Shanghai, dated
today, says that it Is reported that after
tho audience of Sir Claude MacDonald,
British minister to China, with tho Tsung
LI Yamen, five foreign ministers demanded
a safe conduct for their servants and their
people, notifying tho Tsung LI Yamen that
they could no longer maintain relations with
tho government. They were refused. This
was followed by an lncreaso of tho forces
around the gates and the next night wide
spread Incendiarism.
I-itest Chinese reports are that tho em
press has ordered Liu Kung Ylh. Chang Chi
Tung and LI Hung Chang to hasten to
Pekln. They will probably find an oxcuse
for declining.
The latest edict against tho rioters es
pecially avoids mentioning the Boxers.
Berlin and St. Petersburg dispatches as
sert that Riu-sla and Germany havo com
bined for common action In China. It Is
reported that a high Russian personage Is
going to Berlin to arrange details, and
that Russia docs not wish to comproralbe her
relation with China by a rupture which
would only bo to the advantage of other
powers.
Dispatches from Tien Tsln aay that the
Boxers entered Pekln on tho ovonlng of

attacked tho legations, hut wero repulsed

BERLIN, uno 16. Tho correspondent
here of tho Associated Press saw the Chinese
ambassador in Berlin today. Through an
Interpreter he said:
"I havo no news whatever from tho Chl
neso government about the Boxers' rebellion.
The Boxers are a mere rabble, robbers,
thieves and rascals. There are no scholars,
mandarins or officials among them. Tho re
ports that the Chinese soldiers have at
tacked the International forces cannot possi
bly bo true. The empress opposes the Box
ers and the troops could not act against her.
Tbo Boxers will soon be suppressed. They
could have been suppressed by the Cblnebe
troo( without landing the .uternatloml
forces. Tho embassies could haw been pro
tected by guards of Chinese If the embassies
had asked for them."
The latest official German news from
Tien Tsln, dated the IStb, Is viewed at the
foreign office as corrobrratlve of tho reports
that tbo situation has intensified during tho
week. Tho foreign office continues to be
lieve that the Chinese government makes
common cause with the Boxers and does not
believe tho government troops attacked tho
international forces, "as that wo-.ild bu too
crazy a venture."

PARIS, June ,10. (New York World
i Cablegram Special Telegram.) The Parl
l slans are apparently always happy; It Is ccr
I tain that they are always orderly acd well
, mannered. In the crusheu at the exposition
there Is only laughter and Jokes among the
rrencn visitors, and nothing offensive.
As M. Loubet says: "Paris Just now Is
seductive and an immense school of mutual
Instruction."
To many those who havo wealth and
leisure the daily program Is easy and fas
cinating. Rlao nt noon, dejeuner; then. If
no races are on, sit with the smart bach
clordom of Paris behind n sherry cobbler
and a cigar In tho Cafe dc la Palx and
watch the women pass; then a round
through tho exposition for an hour on tho
"Troittolr Roulant" (an American moving
sidewalk), and then dinner nt the Grand
cafo (at famlno prices!; coffee and cognac
j on the boulevards before tho theater, nt
, anout a. or the Opera Comlque, The Folles
Hergere. At midnight the theaters arc
over and then half an hour with tho youth
and beauty of tho Cafe Anglais, or at
Maxim's; then supper, and then, perhaps,
to bed. So It in easily seen how the ex
position Is, indeed, as tho French say, "a
synthfsls of the philosophy and civilization
of the nineteenth century."
Sordid Slilo of tho Plctnro.
But the tradition that the Parisian Is a
pleasure-seeker pure and simple Is a mis
take, for Paris Is first and foremost a
manufacturing center of factories and shop
and frugal-minded people, with only lis
superficial upper crust of frivolity.
While It Is true that the exposition will
bring together examples of tho progress of
every civilized country in tho world, every
thing representative of peculiar national
Ideas and customs and everything typical
of tho world's advance In science and art
during the last century, yet to the Parl
blana It Is a precious, money-making enter
prise, and today they are saying that for
dun pilgrims will bring $JO0,OOO,COO (o
Paris In tho next six months. Even though
ththo gigantic figures are not reached, the
exposition will fill the money cheats of Paris
to overflowing.
Mrs. Agnes Moody, a colored woman from
Chicago, Is making herself famous In Paris
She is the scientific and artistic cook who
I presides over the American corn kitchen,
which has become one of the features cf the
big fair. It is said that "Aunty" Moody
Knows how to prepare moro delicious corn
concoctions than any other living person
and it is expected hero that her work In
making corn soup, corn cakes, corn muffins
and corn dodgers will provo a campaign of
cookers' education for the whole world, be
sides giving American corn a great boom
In Europe. "Aunty" Moody was born In

QUIET ELECTION IN HAVANA
KvorythliiK Was Conducted In Man
ner llxtreinely Creditable
to Cubans.
HAVANA, June 16. 6.16 p. m. The result
of tho election probably will not be known
till midnight, the count of the ballots nut
being in until 6 p. m. The day was very
quiet, tho city having a general appearance
of Sunday, except for tho large number
of coaches on the streets hired by tho con
tending parties to entry voters to the polls
free of charge. Most of tho voting was done
early. Some of the voting booths had votera
waiting before 6 o'clock In tho morning,
when tho elections began. At 10 a. m. prob
ably half the total number of Inscribed
voters had cast their ballots. The election
boards, nearly all of which were composed
of members of tho national party, were ex
tremely contented, claiming to be absolutely
sure of winning. Thero was no confusion
or rows, each waiting their turn. Tho
Cubans, members of the board, were con
ducting the elections In an exemplary man
ner, being anxious to show their iltness for
independence.
Up to 3 o'clock tonight General Wood had
received nothing but satlsfactqry accounts
from all parts of tho island, concerning tho
behavior of tho pcoplo during the elections.
General Loo, General Wilson nnd Colonel
Whitslde all make similar statements.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 16. (Speclat

considerable change In tho appearance of
Philadelphia's streets. Rain and enthusi
asm havo taken the flace of lassltudo ami
the Quaker City begins to take on a na
tional convention breczincss that up till to
day was wholly lacking. There Is an appre
ciable air of something doing about the
hotels and on the thoroughfares. Western
and southern delegates aro arriving and tho
touch of the picturesque which they ndd to
scenes about national and state hendquarters
revives memories of tho last national repub
lican convention which was held In thla city
June 5, 1S72, and which renominated Presi
dent Grant and nominated Henry Wilson of
Massachusetts for vice president. Among the
first utnte badges to make their appearanco
lr tho hotel lobbies wcro those of Nebraska,
shortly followed by Iowa. The Nebraska
badge Is one of tho handsomest seen and Is
In great demand as a souvenir. It consists
of a blue ribbon to which Is appended a fine
medallion picture of President McKlnlcy. lit
tho center of tho ribbon aro flags, whllo the
wholo is surmounted by a pin with the word
"Nebraska" in blnk letters on a white back
ground. Iowa's badge is much moro elab
orate than that of Nebraska, but by no
means as attractive. It consists of three bars
hung from chains of gold with "Iowa" at the
top and tho dato of the national convention
and tho place of meeting below.

Tho Nebraska delegation and alternates
wero among the first of the btato delegation
to establish headquarters at the Stratford
hotel, which is Just below tho Union League
club on Ilroad Htrect nnd across the way
from tho Walton, which Is tho national
headquarters. Tho following delegates and
alternates from Nebraska have arrived: E.
Rosewater, J, A. Ehrhardt of Stanton and
Senator J. M. Thurston of the delegatcs-at-large,
Georgo A. Spurlock and E. A. Tucker
of the First district. E. J. Cornish and W. F.
Gurley of tho Second, Alox Laverty of Ash
land of tho Fourth. Tho other delegates are
expected to arrive In tho morning.
Tho following members of tho Iowa dele
gation, who havo also established headquar
ters at the Stratford, are in tho city: Gov
ernor L. M. Shaw, Lafayette Young, Georgo
W. French and Dr. J. H. Smith, delegates-at-large.
District delegates aro represented
by the following: Second, W. L. Roach of
Muscatine; Third, C. E. Ransler, Independ
ence; Fourth. E. O. Werdcr, Charles City;

With tho arrival of tho Iowa delegation
tho vice presidential boom of C,nngreusman
Dolllver grow in volume, especially after
Governor Shaw gavo It out that tho delega
tion would be unit for their fellow citizen.
When Dolllver put In an appearance at tho
Stratford, accompanied by his managers,
this afternoon, his headquarters wcro tbo
Mecca toward which many western delegates
drifted to havo a look at tho man who might
bo called upon to fill tbo presidential office
should nn untoward fato call President Mc
Klnlcy from his earthly labors.
Governor Shaw said that Congressman
TolIIver would be nominated, should It turn
out that Senator Piatt persisted In his an
tcgonism of ox-Secretary i.iisn, who is still
tho choico of many conservative men, east
nnd west.
Tho Nebraska delegation aro seemingly at
sea over tho vico presidential proposition
and are thinking somewhat of launching a ,
boom for John N. Baldwin of Council Dluffs. '
Thla Is frowned upon by tbo Iowa people,
who contend that to have a divided west
means but bne result, the defeat of any can
dldato from that section. Tho Nebraska
delegation Is to havo a meeting on Monday
to decide first what course to pursue regard
ing tho vico presidency and at this meeting
may select national committeeman, although
the selection of committeeman may be put
off until Tuesday. R. li. Schneider of Fre
mont, who la candidate for committeeman,
has opened rooms at tho Stratford and Im
mediately upon his arrival began a canvass
of the delegation. Tonight as an evidence
of knowing something about modern methods
of campaigning Schncldor entertained somo
of tho delegation by a vaudeville, entertain
ment and later gavo them a dinner at one
of tho clubs.
Fnraker'a Counsel to Nehrnakn.
Senator Foraker of Ohio, who Is to place
I McKlnlcy In nomination, said today that tho
Nebraska situation Is one of most vital mo
ment nnd tbat the delegation should go slow
In making a choico of national committee
man, as the right man ho believed could do
much toward carrying Nebraska for the re
publicans this fall. Ho would not, however
voico his choice, but thought that greatest
wisdom should be displayed. Schneider con
tinues to claim that bo will bo the choice
of tho delegation, but refuses to give tho
names of thoso upon who ho Is relying.
Tho following Nobraskans now In the city
havo requested tickets to the convention
from tho delegation; A. L. Funk and wife,
Lincoln; Robert S. go and brother, Omaha:
Dr. W. II. Hanchett und M. II. Collins.

candidates being out for honor, A. B, Cum
