ALSCHUYLER CHOSEN
To Head the Democratic Ticket
in Illinois.
Springfield, 111., June 2T. The Demo
cratic state convention last night nomi
nated Samuel Alschuyler of Aurora, far
governor.
Mr.-Alschuyler was nominated on the
second ballot, the nomination being
made unanimous, when "it was seen that
Alschuyler would receire a majority of
tiie votes. The other candidates were
Adam orotseifon of Chicago; Nicholas
K. Worthington of Peoria, and General
Alfred Orenuorff of Springfield.
Tile following were selected as dele
gates at large to the Kansas City con
vention: Mayor Carter Harrison of Chi
cago; Alfred S. Trade of Chicago; Ben
T. Cable of Hock Island; Congressman
James It. Williams of Carmi.
Mayor Harrison, chairman of the eom
mttleeon resolutions, presented the plat
form which he read. The platform re
atlirrtis the platform adopted by the
Lvmocratic national convention in Chi
cago in IMtti; denounces the administra
tion of MeKinley as the weakest in the
history of the nation and condemns,
the 'cowering attitude of the president
and his advisers in rei using consola
tion and sympathy to the heroic Koers
In their struggle for the independence
of the Transvaal and o-ange republics;
Invokes public condemnation of an ad
ministrative policy which denies to
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Is
lands the principle of home rule and
pelf-government and sesks the subluxa
tion of a free and enlightened t . ople
for the glory of an imperial policy, re
volting to our traditions and a defiance
to the principles of ou- federal constitu
tion; denounces the currency iaw passed
by the present congress "which proposes
to permanently establish the gold stan
dard in this country In place of the
bimetallic standard of the constitution
and which transfers to the national
banks the entire control of the paper
currency, thus laying foundation for a
money trust which will have power to
control the prices of all property and to
stimulate or strangle business;" ex
presses horror at the attempt of Eng
land to reduce the South African re
amblies to subjection, and declares sym
pathy for the Boers; denounces im
perialism under any pretense as neces
sarily leading to militarism and as
wholly foreign to our system of gov
ernment; denounces the Porto Rican
tariff bill as a palpable violation of the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment; regards with apprehension the
doctrine advocated by the Republican
administration that thl3 nation should
in its dealings or diplomacy show par
tiality toward or enter into entangling
alliances with any European nations.
Regarding trusts the platform says:
"Trusts and monopolies formed for
the purpose of arbitrarily controlling
products and prices in the interest sole
ly of combined capital, if allowed to go
nn, can result only in Industrial serf
dom for the mass of the people. We
therefore oppose such combinations and
demand that not only existing laws
against such combinations in restriction
of trade be rigidly enforced, but be
lieving that protective tariffs and rail
way discriminations have been and
Etill are the chief supporters of monop
olies, we favor the removal of duties
from all Imports monopolized by trusts
and also demand the enactment and en
forcement of legislation as will prevent
every species of discrimination and be
lieving that the courageous and honest
application of the Eemoeratie maxim of
equal rights to all and special priv
lieges to none' will be effective to de
stroy and thereafter prevent any trust
r combination of capital that is preju
dicial to the general welfare, we demand
the repeal or an sucn laws giving spe
cial privileges to any person, class, lo
cality or interest.
'We declare for the greatest liberty to
the individual and our earnest opposi
tion to all sumptuary laws; and we be
I'.eve in the rigid restriction of govern
ment, both state and national to the
legitimate domain of political power by
excluding therefrom all executive and
legislative intermeddling with the af
fairs of society, w hereby monopolies are
fostered, privileged classes aggrandized
End individual freedom unnecessarily
and oppressively restrained.
The platform favors the Immediate
construction, operation, fortification and
defense of an American inter-oceanic
canal by the United States; declares
opposition to government by injunction;
unalterably opposes to militarism as
exercised in the United States arsenals
by the commandants towards the em
ployes from civil life; reaffirms devotion
to the Monroe doctrine; demands the
protection of life and property of Amer
ican citizens at home and abroad re
irardless of race, color, or previous con
dition; favors the establishment of pos
tal savings banks by act of congress;
favors the general principle of the ini
tiative and referendum, as conducive to
securing an expression and enforcement
of the people's will; favors the election
of United States Benators by direct vote
of the people; expresses "unqualified
admiration for William J. Bryan," and
'' fledge to him our loyal and un
swerving support and the delegates
from the state of Illinois, to the Demo
cratic national convention are hereby
instructed to vote aa a unit for his re-
nomination."
The Republican administration of
Governor Tanner is denounced.
The platform was adopted on Mayor
Harrison's motion by a unanimous vote.
A resolution was offered by Congress
man Thomas M. Jett, of Hillsboro and.
adopted, directing the delegates to the
national convention to vote as a unit
on all questions and to select Thomas
Gahan of Cook for national committee
man without opposition. Representa
tive Elmer E. Piercy of Brown county
was nominated for lieutenant governor.
The other nominations were unani
mously as follows:
Secretary of state James O'Donnell,
liloomington.
State auditor George B. Parsons,
Shawneetovvn.
State treasurer M. F. Dunlap, Jack
sonville. Attorney general James Todd, Cook
county.
RECORD SMASHED.
Weather Today Almost Unbear
able at 101 Degrees.
At noon today the thermometer on the
top of the Columbian building, fanned
by the heat laden wind from the south
west, registered 98 degrees above zero. On
Kansas avenue the recording Instruments,
fanned by the same wind but subject in
addition to the reflection from the side
walks and pavements, registered as high
as 101.
The June heat record will be smashed
sure before evening," said Weather Ob
server Jennings as he wound a handker
chief around his neck and shouldered his
umbrella preparatory to starting home
for lunch.
It was certainlv hot at that time, as
those who deserted what protection the
shade of office rooms afforded, well know.
ii nas sieauuy grown Hotter with tne
hours of the afternoon.
Early this morniner Mr. Jenninsrs was
at work printing on small bits of yellow
pasteboard the following prediction, in the
hope that it might console to some ex
tent the sweltering citizens:
"Thunder storms tonight with cooler
north portion. Thursday Dartlv cloudv
and cooler."
It is certainlv comfortinsr to know that
tomorrow will not be like todav. hut un
fortunately predictions don't help present
conumons. tne sun Deat down as mer
cilessly on those who read Mr. Jennings'
announcement after they secured the in-
iormation as it end Delore.
Observer Jenninsrs says he knew the hot
spell was coming several days ago. He
explains the heated condition of affairs as
Ioiiows:
Early yesterday mornlntr a narticularlv
attractive "low" started on a transconti
nental journey from the Pacific to the
Atlantic coast. As it passed along its at
tractiveness caused the winds from the
north and south to rush in to meet it.
Unfortunately for Topeka and the state
the route chosen for the journey is some
distance north of here.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Jennings ex
plains, the "low" was some distance west
of here, but sufficiently close for this ter
ritory to feel the sweep of the southern
winds. This afternoon it is almost di
rectly north, and this accounts for the
increased heat. Tomorrow it will have
passed on east, the south winds will have
subsided to their respective furnaces, and
cooler weatner win be the result.
LOCAL MENTION.
Work on the first story of the addi
tion to the federal building was begun
today, the iron pillars are being put in

divorce from Edward A. Sherman. She

DECORATING BEGINS.
Kansas City Pushing Preparations for
Democratic Convention.
Kansas City, June 27 With thousands
of yards of bunting of various colors,
hundreds of flags,portralts,rosettea, etc..
workmen yesterday began the decora
tion of Convention hall for the big
Democratic gathering of next week. The
big building will present a handsome
appearance when the temporary chair
man calls the convention to order.
The outside of the hall will be draped
with huge flags suspended in ' festoon
shape from the edges of the roof and
balcony facades. Between the windows
will be great shields and other decora
tive devices. Within the hall will be a
mass of red.white and blue, the national
colors being the prevailing colors. Over
the speakers platform will be hung a
gigantic piece, and along the balcony
on both sides of the platform- will be
portraits of famous Americans illus
trious as leaders of Democracy. William
J. Bryan's picture has been painted
especially for the occasion and may be
hung in a prominent position in
hall.
The decoration of the interior of the
hall will be profuse, if not extravagant.
On the stage to be occupied Dy tne new a
DaDer men will be palms and other dec
orative foliage plants. The great steel
beams in the roof will be covered with
red. white and blue bunting, and the
same material will be utilized for hiding
the unfinished front of the balconies.
C. J. Baker, who has the contract for
decorating the hall, has presented to
the hall directors two immense flags
that will be hung on fiagstaffs -on either
end of the hall. Smaller flags will be
attached to other staffs on various parts
of the roof.
The committees in charge of the street
decoration for the convention have been
verv active in securing the co-operation
of merchants in th down town districts
and during the week Kansas City prom
ises to be a blaze of illumination from
one end to the other. Yesterday a score
of men strung incandescent lights
across the streets In the illuminated
district. The special arc lights that will
supplement the regular city service are
being put In place rapidly and on Mon
day night they win be tested.
KAN SANS' BOWER OF BEAUTY.
The headquarters of the Kansans In
the Baltimore hotel annex will be the
rjonular rendezvous for politicians and
sightseers during convention week. The
decorator completed his work yesterday
and he was as proud as a peacock witn
its tail at full spread. Satin, velvet and
silk nortieres adorn the. walls, and a
hundred places the familiar sunflower
has been pinned.
The room, which is 100 feet deep and
20 feet wide, has been divided into two
comDartments. and over the partition
ing wall a huge eagle has been placed.
It bears a scroll on which is inscribed
the state's motto: "Ad astra per as
pera," and from it heavy curtains hang.
Tables and chairs will be added today.
and in the rear room a mammoth buffet
will find a place. From it good cheer
will be dispensed during convention
week by the big-hearted Kansans, who.
gossip has it, will expend S,000 in malt
ing their friends feel at home.
TOM JOHNSON'S PARTY.
Charles P. Salem of Cleveland, O
manager of the street car interests of
Tom Johnson, the street railway mag
nate and single taxer, has engaged
headquarters through the bureau of in
formation at the Hotel Washington for
Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson will attend
the convention, but will come as a dele
gate and may stay with the delegation
at the Progress club, though the Wash
ington will be headquarters for the par
ty he will bring with him.
SENATOR TELLER AT THE COATES
Senator Teller of Colorado has en
gaged rooms at the Coates House for
himself, his wife and son during the
Democratic national convention, or,
rather, during the Silver Republican
convention, which will be held at the
same time. For Senator Teller is com-
: to attend that convention. The
Coates is the headquarters of the Sil
ver Republicans. Ex-Congressman
Towne, the Populist nominee for vice
president, has engaged rooms there, and
so has Col. Stocker, the sergeant at
arms of the silver convention.
MARCHERS FROM LEAVENWORTH
The Leavenworth County Bryan club
has notified the committee in charge of
the parade to be given on the night of
July 4 that it will be here and have 1,000
men In the line of march.
HELP REACHES
SEYMOUR.
tContinued from the First Page.
here are now awaiting the development
or. events with the most intense interest
It has become evident not only the
Chinese government is powerless to pre
serve oraer, but also that tne main
cause of its powerlessness is its sym
pathy with the anti-foreign prejudices
with the insurgents, and therefore there
is notning left for the powers DUt to
take and keep the supreme control.
Of the details of the events wnicn
have led to this now manifest result, it
is impossible to trive any connected ac
count. Telegraphic communication with
jrekin nas been cut ore since tne loin
instant and little more than rumors of
the diplomatic strife between the lega
tions and the government have reached
here, nor is there anything much more
reliable in the reports of the doings of
the insurgents or of the magnitude of
their forces. That they have been able
to block the passage of reinforcements
to the little body of foreign marines now
guarding the legations is, nowever,
sufficiently evident.- It is also increas
ingly plain that the imperial troops
have to a large extent joined them and
that the combined foreign force on Its
approach to the capital will have to
fight a formidable enemy, so far as
numbers are concerned. The harbor at
Taku is full of the foreign fleets, their
number constantly increasing. At last
accounts there were 13 Russian, nve
British, two French, three Germans,
four Japanese and two Italians. The
preponderance of Russia in the fray is
exciting marked comment. She is show
ing what an immense advantage port
Arthur Is to her, and at the same time is
revealing the military resources wnicn
for years she has been quietly bringing
to the east. Her preponderance in mil
itary strength will, however, soon be
surpassed by Japan should there be a
final break-up of China or its control
by the powers be assumed. Japan has
an army of a half million soldiers prac
tically upon the spot, as it wouia De
well nigh Impossible for any European
power or any combination of European
powers to transport to the scene an
army equal to hers, it is plain to see
that her wishes will be eagerly deferred
during the negotiations as to the final
disposition of the great empire.
Of course, the Japanese are Intensely
interested in the situation, that interest
having been greatly stimulated yester
day by the news of the murder of one
of the interpreters of that legation.
Of the cause of the disturbance, apart
from the general prejudice against for
eigners, it is plain that sucn prejuaices
have been greatly fomented ana in
creased by a special anti-missionary
feeling.
At first It seemed to be directed main
ly against the Catholics, but it would
appear now that the whole body of
propagandists would be involved in the
trouble without discrimination.
A BRIGHTER, VIEW
Fu, shut oft by the boxers, we thought.
We do not see why our missionaries
from Pekin were not mentioned as well
as those of the other denominations.
Nor is in easy to explain.how the mis
sionaries in Pekin escaped all the way
to Che Foo, over 200 miles, without an
escort of troops, at a' time when Sey
mour and the allies are hard pressed In
that same region. The only way they
could have done it was by the help of
the native Christians. Perhaps these
missionaries who are mentioned were
outside of the city at the time they
started for Che Foo. Then, too, all our
missionaries in Shan Tung provinces
were ordered to report, which must be
Che Foo. From the fact that they were
not mentioned we conclude that they
have not yet reached that city."
Rev. Dr. C. C. Creegan of the Ameri
can Board of Foreign Missions, said of
the Congregational missionaries who
are reDorted to be safe in Che Foo:
"Dr. W. S. Anient is the superinten
dent of the mission at Pekin and when
last heard from he was in that city.
His wife and family are in this country.
Miss Frances B. Patterson is of the Pe
kin mission and the last we knew of her
she was there. Rev. James H. Roberts
was stationed at Kalgan, in the far
north of China, close to the great wall.
We have had great fears for him and
his associates,, Rev. P. Sprague and
wife and Rev. Mark Williams."
Rev. Charles E. Ewine of Pao Tine
Fu has sent a cable dispatch to his
father-in-law, the Rev. Mr. Porter of
Danvers, Mass. It said simply: "Safe."
Alter giving this information. Dr.
Creegan said: "We are getting more
and more confused as these dispatches
come in. But so far as we have any
knowledge no American missionary has
suffered bodily injury and there Is
nothing yet to destroy our hopes that
the life of each of them will be spared.
Our government seems to be doing all it
can and we trust that the Lord will
deliver our brethern out of the fiery
furnace in which they are placed. We
assume that all our missionaries are
safe.
"At the office of the Christian and
Missionary alliance in this city it was
said that there were thirty-two mission
aries north of Pekin who could be
reached only through Pekin or Tien
Tsin. None of them could be in Che
Foo, for upon their arrival the bead
quarters here would be notified."
DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
Joseph Hankenberry, an old soldier,
died at his home on East Thirteenth
street last evening. He was 70 years old.
The remains will be sent to Clay Center
this evening for burial.

man William Sulzer, of New York,

Keyond the statement that Messrs.

Bryan, Mr. Price would vouchsafe
nothing.
HOTTEST JUNE DAY.
Of the Chinese Situation Is Prevail
ing in London.
New York, June 27. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London, dated June 27,
says: The optimists who have been in
the background for a week have turnea
out in force at the house of commons
and the political clubs and are talking
cheerfully about China.
So marked was the reaction rrom de
pression last night that men of influence
did not besitate to say mat tney Be
lieved that the public had been deceived
by sensational newsmongers andChinese
liars and that as- soon as communica
tions were re-opened it would be known
that the foreigners had not been mur
dered at Tien Tsin: that Admiral Sey
mour's force had been blocked, but not
rut to nieces and that the legations had
not been attacked. One view wnicn
found considerable support was that
the emtiress bv avoiding an cpen con
flict with the boxers and instructing the
eenerals to make common cause witn
them had retrained control of the situa
tion and that the legations had escaped
a track in thi3 wav and that the mm
isters had been escorted out of Pekin
and that Seymour's force had been
shut out of the capital but not? been in
serious daneer. There was little evi
dence in support of this theory, yet
manv men of good judgment were dis
posed to credit it and to assume that
the emoress after making use of the
regular army in dispersing the boxers
after svmoathlzing witn tnem wouiu
not onnose the entry of the foreign
forces but would appeal for Russian
support and depend upon a speedy
break up of the concert through Jeal
ousies and intrigues.
The British admiralty is a slow-going
institution which has an idolatrous love
of red tape. It was silent hour after
hour yesterday, although the dispatch
of the American admiral had been pub
lished In Washington and the German
foreign office had heard from its con
sulate at Che Foo that the third relief
column had entered Tien Tsin on the
way to Pekin and that Admiral Sey
mour was 12 miles from that place
with the foreign ministers. Owing to
the sluggishness of the admiralty in
giving out dispatches the American
press is able to get official news from
China in advance of the English pub
lic, since nothing is held back by the
navy department in Washington.
Press dispatches available at mid
night were meager but it was fairly
clear that the allied forces had been
greatly strengthened by French, Ger
man, Japanese and Russian troops;
that the march to Tien Tsin had not
been attended with serious loss and
that the plight of the foreigners there
had not been so serious as had been
supposed. It is not known with deflnite
ness whether Admiral Seymour's force
marc hed into Pekin and carried the
ministers and refugees out with them or
whether thev were sent out under tne
escort of their own guards.but the opin
ion prevailed at midnignt among wen
informed members of parliament that
a catastrophe had been averted and
that the military and naval forces, while
not sufficient to secure permanent occu
pation of Pekin, were adequate for the
immediate protection of the foreigners
in Tipn Tsin. Mr. Broderick and Mr.
Balfour were closely questioned in the
ond hand. The government was clear
ly unprepared for the crisis which has
arisen but has pulled itself together and
is hunting in the dark for a policy.

Ifew York Up-Town Gossip.
New York, June 27. Further progress
was made in the direction of higher prices
in the stock market yesterday. This
would indicate that the short interest had
not been entirely eliminated although
some slackening in demand from this
quarter probably accounted for the sharp
falling oil in the volume of trade as com
pared with Monday. There was some sus
picion of professionalism in the com
paratively poor distribution of business as
well as in the appearance at times of buy
ing stocks a little dearer than they might
have been obtained. Nevertheless there
was some news yesterday which Justified
more of a feeling of encouragement and
at the risk of being tiresome by repetition.
It must be said by all fair minded ob
servers cf the market until the well known
uncertainties of the situation change the
market will be irregular. The news from
the Orient was regarded by the foreign
markets as rather encouraging. Consid
erable mystery necessarily surrounds the
reports from China, but they look in some
respects to be more favorable than had
been expected when the week began. It
may be a mistake to assume that the re
cent testimony of the severe damage in
flicted upon spring wheat in large sections
of the northwest is exaggerated but any
liquidation and consequent contraction in
the volume of speculation tends to lessen
the burden placed upon domestic money
supplies.

MUCH CONFUSION
At Missionary Headquarters Regard
ing the Situation.
New York, June 27. The secretaries
of the foreign missions boards in this
city and the friends of the missionaries
now in China are getting more and
more bewildered as rumors multiply and
cable messages more depressing than
cheering, come to headquarters.
A letter from Dr. Edna G. Terry to
her mother, dated April 29, said she
would sail for home at the earliest pos
sible date. Mrs. Terry hopes that her
daughter is already on her way to the
United States.
The report from Che Foo, giving a list
of missionaries safe there, caused the
Presbyterians some worry. Mr. Gar
rison, of the secretary's office, said:
"Not one of our missionaries ismention
ed in the list, unless it is Rev. Mr.
Lowrie. Our Mr. Low-He is the Rev.
Walter, and he has been at Pao Tong
