R0CKHILL PREPARES TO SAIL

WASHINOTON. Jul 24. W. W. Rnckhlll,
who hs been selected as special comnils-1
toner by the president to go to China, re
turned to Washington this morning from
niock Island and began preparing for his
long Journey. He has decided to tnko Mrs.
nockhlll with him nd sail from San Fran
clnco on the America Maru of tho Japanese
line. Hp, will leave Mm. Ilockhlll nt Yoko
hama or Nagasaki, while he goes to Shang
hai. At that point ho will determine In which
direction to proceed. Mr. Kockhlll does not
underestimate tho extent for tho tnsk set
for him by the president. He Is to act as
tho eyo and ears of the administration In
China, to nuke careful Inquiry Into the ex
isting conditions, to learn tho exact cause
of the present uprising and report tho facts
directly to thn president for his guidance In
the ultimate settlement and In framing his
policy for tho future. This task will Involve
a largo amount of travel In China. Mr.
nockhlll Is of tho opinion that It will not be
sufficient to merely look Into conditions In
Rhan Tung province nnd perhapo in Pekln,
If he cin obtain access to that capital. Ho
also must visit other provinces and cities
whoro thero 1b disquiet and danger to for
eign Interests and this will bo fraught with
some personal danger. But It is regarded
no a necessary undertaking if the president
Is to bo put Into possession of a comprehen
sive understanding of Chinese conditions.
It Is expressly stated that Mr. Ilockhlll Is
going to China simply an an observer for tho
president. This Is technically true, but It
also may be stated that ho will be entrusted
with full diplomatic power later on if It
seems expedient and In' tho Interest of an
early settlement of tho Chinese problem to
havo directly on the Held nn authorized
agent of the United States government. It
Is even probable that ho will ho tho next
United States minister to Pekln It Mr. Con
ger has perished.
It la gathered hero that tho German gov
ernment has done something of tho same
kind, nnd, although tho assurances of the
Orientalists and diplomatists to commit to
Ilaron von Ketteler, aro strong as to leave
no douht of the fact of his death, yet It is
understood that tho credentials of Ilaron
Mumm von Schwartzenburg, now on his way
to Tien Tsln, aro as yet only those of a
diplomatic; agent of tho Oerman government,
making his position thus correspond closely
to that of Mr. Kockhlll. It also Is noted
that the British government hns taken sim
ilar action In dispatching to China Sir Wal
ter Hlllycr. He Is well known to Mr. Rock-
hill, having been n British consul at a Chi
nese port during tho presence of tho Amerl
can commissioner In Pekln as secretary of
legation.
Thero Is reason to bellevo that tho other
Kuropean powers having direct Interests In
China will follow their examples and thus
It may happen that the International com
mission Idea, originally contemplated by the
United States as a means of bettlcmcnt of
tho Chinese, trouble, may take a form ac
ceptable to all concerned. It would seem
entirely nosalblo that the powers may de
cide to tako advantnge of tho gathering In
China of such an nblo body of experienced
orle'itallsts and diplomatists to "Commit to
thorn tho task of reaching a concord which
will harninnloubly settle all of tho differ
ences that havo arisen, not only between
China and tho powers, but between tho pow
era themselves, as a tesult of the Ooxcr up
rising.
Mr. nockhlll will tako no staff with him,
relying upon picking up in China such help
ns bo may need In a clerical way. During
his absence In China, which, by the way, he
ays will not bo long, the Bureau of Ameri
can Republics will bo under tho temporary
direction of Secretary Guzman and Chief
Clerk Fox.

TIEN TSIN, July 14. Via Cho Foo, July
16, and Shanghai, July 24. Tho Ninth reg
iment, United States Infantry, entered tho
fight at Tien Tsln with 430 men. An Incom
plete list of casualties shows eighteen killed
soventy-flve wounded and two mlfolng. The
marines had tour killed and eighteen
wounded.

United States Marino corps. In the leg;
Captain W. B, Lemley, United States Marine

It. Lang, Ninth Infantry, In the foot.
First Lieutenant Henry Leonard of the
marln6 corps carried Lieutenant Butler
from the field under n fierce fire. Ho was
shot In tho upper left arm whllo returning,
but rn and swam a' mile under Are In get
ting to the rear. His arm was amputated
today. Captain Charles R. Noyca, who had
been wounded In tho leg, swam a mile- with
only his nose nbove water with a request for
reinforcements.
Flist Lieutenant Louis B. Lawton of tho
Ninth Infantry made a dash for reinforce
ments under fire and received three slight
wounds.
Colonel I,lncuni'a I.nnt Word.
Colonel LUcum was shot In the- abdomen
and died half an hour later. His last words
were; "Keep up the firing."
The Ninth was ordered to support the
Japancae, who were receiving an enfilading
fire. After crossing a mud wall, half a mile
from the city wall, the Ninth shifted, ad
vancing against tho flanking flre and
reached a marsh beside the river at the
southwest corner of tho city. A body of
Chinese In a burned village under tho wall
Just ucrofrt tho river, where they were
strongly barricaded, poured In a fire and
whenever an American raleed a hand he
was shot. A Nordcnfoldt gun nnd two small
cannons were also trained upon them.
Tho Americans lay In tho mud all day
wunout a surgeon to attend their wounded,
without food nnd drinking tho canal water
They had exhausted their ammunition, ex
cept a few rounds which were retained in
order to repel a charge If It should be made.
None expected to escape. 'A few reaching
the rear reported that half of the command
had been killed or wounded, Including the
heat prestations In the estimate. After
tho Americans bad retired under cover of
darkness they struggled back In squads all
night, pitifully exhausted and carrying
tneir wounded. Tho Americans' hospital
was crowded and short of surgeons, thero
having been no expectation of such losses.

FORT SCOTT. Kan., July 24. The feature
of today's proceedings In the popultst, demo
cratic and sliver republican state conven
tions, which met here today In separate
halls to nominate state tickets, or effect
a fusion In the Interest of a single ticket,
was tho turning down of the senatorial
aspirations of Jerry Simpson by the popu
list convention.
Tho ex-congressman desired to go before
the next legislature, In tho event of a pop
ulist or fusion success at the polls, with
the definite endorsement of tho state con
vention for the olllce of United States sen
ator. Ills llrs light came before the com
mittee on rule and order of business nnd
thero ho was successful, for the committee
reported a rule bringing In tho question of
a senatorial endorsement by the convention.
In the convention there was strong opposi
tion to this departure from tho usual cus
tom, nnd In the heat of tho debate Mr.
Simpson took tho lloor and urged his own
candidacy. He was bitter In tho denuncia
tion of some of his opponents, making
charges of bosslsm. nnd tho convention was
soon In an uproar. Tho ex-congiessmnn
retired from the platform nmld groans and
hisses. When u vote was taken nn endorse
ment of his cnndldacy was retimed by a
majority of nearly two-thirds.
I. Kile IIiihIik'nn Hour,
Neither of the conventions accomplished
much nt today's sessions nnd nt a late hour
tonight there has been no definite Agree
ment as to fusion. Tho populists aro not
opposing the proposition to name Bryan and
Stovcnson electors, and this will be dono It
an agreement can be reached for a division
of the state ofllcers, The agreement reached
at Topeka several months ago by tho state
committees of the three parties, providing
for a division of tho oillccs, may bo broken,
as tho populists nre trying to force tho
nomination of cx-Justlcc David Martin,
formerly a republican, for the office of as
sistant Justice, a position which tho To
peka agreement gave to tho democrats.
At a lato hour tonight the conference
committees of the three conventions are
still In session.
Tho democrats met In the opera house,
tho populists In the new convention hall,
built especially for tho purpose, nnd the
sliver republicans in tho court house. The
populists had refused to designate a tem
porary chairman and the tnattcr was re
ferred to tho convention. Thomas W.
Morgan of Eureka, decided on last night for
temporary chairman of tho democratic con
vention, called that gathering to order.
l'0lllllNt l'mCCtMllllKN.
In the populist convention, C. B. Hoff
man of Enterprise was elected temporary
chairman over State Senator L. P. King by
a vote of S12 to 221. King was named by
tho faction opposed to John W. Brcldcnthal,
stnto bank examlnor, who Is tho leading
candidate for governor before the three con
ventions. The result Is significant. Chair
man Hoffman In nrsumlng tho chair spokn
boldly for a fusion of all forces. He pre
dicted that In 1904 "thero may bo no peo
ple s party, so Identical aro Its principles
with those of tho democratic party."
Judge C. E. Forte, In an address, declared
for Bryan and Stevenson and aalrt that the
democrats had done a wise thing In nom
inating Stevenson a sentiment that wan
cheered heartily.
Chairman Morgan, In addressing the dem
ocratic gathering, congratulated tho party
on the prospects of succcps In tho national
canvass and tho hope of a compact fusion,
which he thought would Insure success in
the state.
Webb McNall, who as insurance commis
sioner of tho lust populist administration
earned the title of "czar," was selected
temporary as well as permanent chairman
of tho silver republican convention.
Tho afternoon sessions of tho convention'
were taken up with routine affairs and
speech making. Among tho speakers before
tho several conventions were "Cyclone"
Davis of Texas, Congressman to Armond
of Missouri and General J. B. Weaver of
Iowa, ,
rnnfcri-ppi Hcuch Aurconiciil,
At a lato hour tonight the three confer
ence committees reached an 'RKrefcasent
whereby tho Topeka agreement will be mod
ified to tho extent of permitting tho popu
lists to name David Martin of Atchison for
assoclnto justice, for which they will sur
render to tho democrats tho office of at
torney general.
Tho agreement thus modified will bo re
ported to tho conventions tomorrow. It
gives to the populists the offices' of asso
ciate Justice, governor, lieutenant governor,
auditor, superintendent of public Instruc
tion and congrcssmnn-at-large, whllo tho
democrats will nnmo the candidates for
secretary of state and attorney gcnernl, Tho
sliver republlcani will bo given tho nomina
tion for superintendent of insurance. Tho
agreement provides also thnt tho populists
and democrats shnll each name four candi
dates for presidential electors and tho frco
silver republicans two candidates. This
agreement will probably bo endorsed by tho
conventions.
FUSION IS NOT PROBABLE

Indlnnnpollii,
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 24. Tho antl
Impoflallst committee and tho gold demo
cratic commlttco will meet hero In confer
ence tomorrow afternoon. Tho Indications
tonight nre not favorable to fusion.
Among the prominent members at tho
Plaza hotel tonight were John J. Chapman,
Now York; Thomas M. Osborno, Auburn,
N. Y.; Everltt B. Abbott. Now Yoi'k City;
William H. Riley. Albany, N. Y.; Uaac H.
Klein, New York City, and secretary of tho
committee, and Alfred B, Robinson, New
York.
Other members of tho committee, were ex
pected on the late night trains from tho
east or early tomorrow morning.
This afternoon tho committee held an
Informal session and met again later in the
evening. An Invitation from Secretary John
P. Frenzel of tho national gold democrats
to attend the session of tho gold democrats
was "accepted." It was decided that tho
couferen.ee should take place at 4 p. m. and
that John Jay Chapman, Thomas M, Osborn
and Everltt B. Abbott should present the
proposition of fusion and argument favoring
the same and the placing of another na
tional ticket In the field. As outlined, tho
argument will Inveigh heavily against tho
republican policy of expansion that has
marked the icpubllcan administration of
public affairs during tho past four yearis
and attack with equal strength the free
coinage of silver as expressed In thn money
plank of the Kansas City platform.
Tonight but seven states were repre
sented by national democratic committee
men, as follows; Ohio, T. P. Linn; New
York, Charles Tracey; Michigan, Thomas
A. Wilson; New Hampshire, Oordon Wood
burn; Colorado, Louis R. Ehrlch; Missouri,
K. F. Kent.
Secretary Frenzel said tonight; "Thirty
states will be loprcscnted cither by tho
committeemen In person or by proxy, We
shall go at once Into the work before us and
If possible finish It tomorrow night. I must
(cllne to express myself on the question
(I. another ticket."
One of the states which will not be rep
resented by Its regularly appointed commit
teeman will be Kentucky. This evening Mr.
Frenzel received from Zach Phelps of
Louisville, tho Kentucky representative, tit J
resignation as a member of the committee.
Mr. Phelps Intimated he would vote" the
regular democratic ticket on account of the
situation brought about In Kentucky by the
killing of Gocbet.
Tho states which Mr. Frenzel said would
bo represented nt tomorrow's meeting by
committeemen In person was the following:
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
New York, South Carolina, Minnesota, Mis
souri, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Alabama,
New Jersey, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Rhode Island.
'nprlulit Tliclr rintfortn,
WACO, Tex., July 21. The populist state
convention today nominated a full stato tic
ket. Tho platform follows tho nilddle-cr-the-ioad
policy, opposes fusion and makes
no mention of Bryan. It does not contain
any reference to Imperialism or expansion.
A real lutlon to embody these questions In
the platform was voted down.
Tho following resolution was passed
unanimously:
"Whereas, Pasxperlenco has proven that
populist platforms are tempting to demo
cratic politicians; .be It, therefore,
"Resolved, That tha chairman of the ex
ecutive committee bo hereby Instructed to

AMERICA'S TERMS TO CHINA

to get definite news from them nt the head
quarters of the allied forces In a short
time. The distance from Tien Tsln to Pekln
Is sevanty-fivo miles and nt this season the
trip Is usually made by road from Pekln
to Tong Choo, a point on tho Pel-IIo,
twelve miles below the capital, and the re
mainder of the way by bont. This trip now
would take four days, supposing tho escort
of Imperlnl troops met with no resistance
from tho insurgents. If tho movo from
Pekln wns made within two days after
Sheng'a Information wns received It would
be possible that the legatloners nnd their
escort nre now In touch with the head
quarters of tho allies, nlways supposing
that nothing serious happened to tho party
on tho road.
Wu Hoiifh for llnrly Iteply.
Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister, said tonight
that ho hoped 'that the reply of Minister
Conger nt Pekln to tho second message uotit
to him by Mr. Hny would be received with
more expedition than tho first, which came
to hand last Friday. That messago and re
sponse took nine days. The second mes
sage was sent by Mr. Wu tho day before
yesterday and ho believes that as a result of
tho Improved conditions and tho possibility
of restored communications between Shang
hai and the northern cities of tho empire an
answer ought to come to hand within a
shorter tlmo than tho flret. Evidently Mr.
Wu places some hopo In tho talk of tho re
moval of tho foreign ministers to Tien Tsln
and he suggested tonight thnt possibly ono
of tho Important messagca received from
China In tho near futuro would be "Conger
Is In Tien Tsln."
Tho reply of tho Chinese government to
President McKInley's conditional consent to
act as mediator In the pcudlng difficulties Is
not expected hero for some days, as tho
tsung 11 yamcn will want time In which to
consider the conditions inld down by tho
president.

WASHINTGON, July 24. The following
telegram has been received from the Japa

of July 22, and is tho report of tho Japa
ncso consul at Tlcn Tsln, who wired It on
July 21;
"The Japanese troops bohnved admirably
and maintained strict dlsclpllno after tho
fall of Tien Tsln city. Tho Chinese who
remained In tho city and those who lived
outsldo came to tho Japanese quarters with
a largo flag bearing an Inscription express
ing their submission to Japan nnd showed
their appreciation of tho unexceptionable
behavior of our troops. They also brought
to our sentries fruit and tea In toktn of
their friendly feeling. Our troops aro thus
dally gaining tho confidence and respect of
the natlvo population.
"Tien Tsln city Is occupied by the troopi
of four powers In the following sections,
namely: From tho north gato to the east

tho south by the Americans, from the south
to the west by the English and from the

LONDON, July 21. The Globe's naval
correspondent at Taku writes:
"Admiral Kemplf has raited a storm In a
teacup on the salute question. He Is sec
ond In command of the station nnd thus en
titled to cloven guns ns rear admiral, and
this wns recently given him by the Endy
mlon at Yokohama. Ho claimed thirteen
guns, stating that no American admiral got
cloven guns, tholr values being: Full ad
miral, 17; vico admiral, 15; rear admiral,
13. Tho United States having Just started
tho grade of admiral, It Is probable KempiT
thought out the regulations In pure Ignor
ance, as there appears to be no reason why
a United States rear admiral should be
worth more powder than any other rear ad
miral, To his protest Rear Admiral Kemplf
was informed that thn captain of the Endy
mion will give him as many guns ai he
wanted If there was sufficient powdur on the
ship, Tho Orlando (British armored ship)
arriving at Taku, knew nothing of this
squabble and rubbed It In by saluting tho
Chinese rear admiral with thirteen guns,
then tho Russian rear admiral wth thir
teen" and thon tho United States rear ad
mlial with eleven guns. Whether distance
made It difficult for them to distinguish tho
number or a delicate hint was Intended the
Newark had the good taste to return the
thirteen guns.
WASHINGTON. July 24. Tho report of
the London Globo's correspondent nt Taku
of a question of naval etiquette raised by
Admiral Kcmpff In regard to the number
of guns with which he wns saluted, excited
comment at tho Navy dopnrtment. Admiral
Kcmpff, as the Junior rear admiral on tho
station, being ranked by Admiral Remoy, Is
entitled to thirteen guns under our naval
regulations. If tho British naval regula
tions make a distinction between senior and
Junior admirals ours do not. The double
starred flag In our navy receives thirteen
guns, whether tho flag Is blue or red.

Christians, women nnd children. After con
stant fighting, which was often at closo
quarters and with bayonet, they were again
attacked by Boxers July 12. Tho Russians
lost 'heavily and ran short of ammunition!
At last accounts they were threatened by
15,000 Boxers. Engineer JUgovitch, nt
Charbln, had found it impossible to send
fltlclent help, ns he required all his avallnblo
forces to defend Charbln, which place con
tained thousands of unarmed employes with
their families, who have been concentrated
from along many sections of the railway.
General Grodckoff considers the situation
as bad. Attacks are dally threatened, nnd
rebels and marauders are overrunning Man
churia. The general says tho local gov
ernors hnve llttlo authority and thnt fanat
ics dominate tho situation.
