Y. CHAIRMAN JONES REPORTSALL WELL Great Mass ot the People Heart ily Condemn the Present Imperial Policy. Washington, August 1.—(Special.)—Na tional Democratic Chairman Jones reports things in a satisfactory condition in New York. He says that the story that there Is a feud between Hill and Croker in New York which will Interfere with their sup port of the ticket is unfounded. Whatever their personal relations, their course will not be affected, and both will "loyally, cordially and heartily support the ticket." Everything is moving nicely in the coun try generally, the Senator says, and he Is very hopeful. "I believe,” he says, "that the imperial policy of the administration is more heartily condemned by the great mass of the people than any other impor tant position assumed by any party for many years.” He also says: "The lack of disposition on the part of the Republi cans to control or restrain trusts is con demned by patriotic Republicans, as well as Democrats. It is observed that they flourish under the fostering care of this administration as they never did before.” The Senator goes to Chicago tomorrow. ALBERT HALSTEAD.

Qheumaiism Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest r.nd distress from tortured muscles, aching joints and excited nerves. The blood has been poisoned by the accumulation of waste matter in the system, and can no longer supply the pure and health sustain jug food they require. The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison; and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy condition will the aches and pains cease. Mrs. James Kell, of 707 Ninth street, N. E., Washington, D. C., writes as follows: "A few months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheums tism in its worst iorrn. i ne pain was so intense that I became completely pros trated. The attack was an unusually severe one, and my condition was regard ed as being very danger ous. I was attended by one of the most able doc tors in Washington, who is also a member of the fac ulty of a leading medical college here. He told me to continue ms prescrip tions and I would get well. After having if filled twelve times without receiving the slightest benefit, I declined to continue his treatment any j longer. Having heard of S. S.S.( Swift’s Specific) recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost in despair however, to give the medicine a trial, and after I had taken a few bottles I was able to hobble around on crutches, and very soon there after had no use for them at all, 8. S. S. having cured me sound and well. All the distressing pains have left me, my appetite ha9 returned, and I am happy to be again restored to perfect health. the great vegetable purifier and tonic, i9 the ideal remedy in all rheumatic troubles. j There are no opiates or minerals in it to disturb the digestion and lead to ruinous habits.

Washington, August 1.—(Special.)—If within the next ilay or two China fails to place Minister Conger in direct and free communication with the United States gov ernment a formal demand will be made by the President of the United States upon the Emperor of China for such communication and in such language that it will be under stood that a failure to comply will be re garded as an act of unfriendliness ap proaching war. Secretary Hay is reported to have said that the time has come when this govern ment must cease giving out news of our military preparations for China’s benefit. This is another indication of the attitude of the government and shows its determin ation not to be fooled with further. ALBERT HALSTEAD.

PRISONERS WERE KILLED In One Instance the Boxers Surround’ ed an Italian Officer and Literally Hacked Him to Pieces With Long Knives Victoria, B. C., August 1.—Lieut. * Von Kroehn, a German officer, who arrived at Yokohama in company with 300 wounded and Incapacitated Germans and others on the steamer Korn chartered by the German Government, in an interview given in Yo kohama just before the Glenogle sailed, said of the experience with Admiral Sey mour: “Everything went pretty w’ell until the column reached Liung Fang, where the railroad was found destroyed. They then had to leave the cars and the wounued were placed on junks in the river and the march backward along the river begun. Up to then they had only been opposed by Box ers, but soon regulars, armed with the latest patent rifles, opposed them. On ac count of the wounded they had to march along the river and storm every village in their path. One day seven were taken, the next day six, working and lighting from 3 a m. to 9 p. m. The Chinese used smoke less powder and their position could not be found. The villages were finally taken and burned down.” Asked what the Chinese did with their women and old men, Lieut. Von Kroehn said they emigrated with all speed; but if this was not possible, as in the case of one village taken by the allies, they cut off the heads of the women and children and threw them into the river. The allies went until they reached Sim Kow arsenal across the river. Here a thousand halted for the others behind. They tried to par ley, but the Chinese fired big guns, fol lowed by rapid fire. The gunners fought well, many being wounded, among them Lieut. Von Kroehn. Finally the order was g.ven to storm the arsenal. The British tried to take it, but failed. Reinforced by tne Germans, they charged again and took it. Immense numbers of guns and muni tions of war were found. Sixty Chinese had held the forts. Garrisoned (he Forts The allies garrisoned the forts and pre pared to make a stand there until relief arrived, but after a stay of four days Ad miral Seymour, having come to the con clusion that In case a larger force at tacked th£ fort, they would not be able to hold It, decided to destroy it and move on. Consequently, as they were unable to take any guns along, the engineers prepared an explosive charge, and the next day at 2 o’clock they saw It burn and explode. Shortly afterward they were relieved by the forces from Tien Tsin. “We did not take prisoners,” said Lieu tenant Von Kroehn. “As far as the cq^p ture of prisoners is concerned this Is nn impossibility, as the Chinese are not civil ized enough for that kind of warfare.” Lieutenant Von Kroehn was asked about the statement of a German that the Rus sians had dispatched the wounded with the butts of their rifles. The lieutenant said it was not quite so bad as that, but under the circumstances of the present war in China they had been, and probably would be in the future, compelled to kill the wounded with the bayonet. In the beginning they had even sent the wounded to the hospi tals In Tien Tsin, but they soon found out that as long as a man was able to raise a hand he would try to stab the foreigners, and as, moreover, they found the prisoners very refractory, and had all they could do to attend to themselves, they had been compelled to kill all wounded with bayo nets, and generally speaking, accept no prisoners, but kill everybody who stood up against them. Frequently they found Boxers who had taken their red badges and clothes off in the hope of trying the “Amigo” trick on them, and while the trick worked for a while, they gave orders *to kill every Chinaman who stood up, and the Chinese, in turn, decapitate and muti late every foreigner who may be wounded or killed and who is unfortunate enough to fall into their hands. On one occasion a large number of Box ers succeeded in encircling an Italian of ficer with eight men, and while four of the men cut their way through, the other four and the officer were simply overwnwifcned by the numbers and literally hacked to pieces with long knives by the Boxers. When Von Kroehn afterward saw the body of the Italian officer the head was split into four pieces and the entire body cut up. THE HEALTH OF YOUHC WOMEN Two of Them Helped by Hire.

ADMINISTRATION SCORED The Resolutions Demand Several Ex* planations of the Present Policy of McKinley—Must be Either a Republic or an Empire Toledo, O., August 1.—A light attendance marked the second day’s session of the convention of Democratic Clubs. The prin cipal speech of the meeting was delivered tonight at the Lyceum by ex-Governor Altgeld of Illinois. He spoke in reply to the address of Governor Roosevelt before the National League of Republican Clubs at St. Paul. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the Kansas City ticket and platform. They continue: "That we demand an explanation from the national administration for the at j tempted cession to Great Britain of .about ; 2,000 square miles of our national domain in Alaska and to disclose how much land, if any, has lately been given away to favored imperial scions of royalty. "That we further demand from the gen eral government an explanation for the recent purchase from Spain of two more slave cursed islands in the Sulu group, af ter she had parted with her equity to us in all of that territory for $20,000,000. "That we demand a republican form of government for Porto Rico. "That we hold the present Republican ad ministration responsible for the cruel war that is now being waged in the Philippines. The blood of thousands of gallant soldiers, the waste of hundreds of millions of treas ure and untold murder, misery and suffer ing inflicted upon the liberty-loving Filipinos stain the greedy hands of this administration. * "That we demand for the Cubans and Filipinos independent government deriving their governmental power from the consent of the governed. ‘That we recognize the solemn fact that the government of the United States can not be both republican and imperial. "We are radically and unalterably op posed to imperialism in the United States of America." GERMAN-AMER1CANS TO VOTE FOR BRYAN (Continued From First Page.) xrtent, that means that he will gain in Ohio from 30,000 to 50,000 votes; in Indiana 8,000 to 14,000; in Illinois not less than 40,000; in Wisconsin, 80,000; in Michigan from 10,000 to 16,000; in Minnesota from 8,00 to 14,000. In Kansas the gain will probably not amount to more than 1,500 or 2,000, and in Nebraska it may not even be so large, peculiar condi tions prevailing there. In New York and New Jersey the gains of German-American votes for .Bryan are less promising, but they may improve. In 1896, however, Bryan undoubtedly received a larger percentage of German-American votes In New York State than elsewhere; they seem to have reached about 33 per cent., which is considerably more than he received in Indiana, where comparatively more such votes were cast ! for him than in any other State now con- ' sidered doubtful, excepting New York.” MYSTERY SOLVED Texan Admits Killing His Son and Sol. in-Law Waco, Tex., August X.—The mystery sur rounding the double killing here on Sun day has been cleared up by Duncan Mc Lennan, Sr., who, according to his own confession, took the lives of both Mr. Kingsbury and Duncan McLennan, Jr. According to his statement, he and his sen, Duncan, went to the home of Mr. Kingsbury Sunday night and entered the room where he was sleeping. McLennen says a quarrel and fight ensued and during a moment of excitement and anger he killed his son-in-law, Kingsbury. He says that during the struggle all became more or less confused, and by accident he also killed his son, thinking it was Kingsbury. After the tragedy McLennen returned to his home in the country, where he spent the night, returning here Monday morning to attend his son's funeral. He was ar rtsted and later made the above statement. The motive tor tho killing Is said to have been financial difficulties of long standing between McLennen, Sr., and Kingsbury.

I., August 1.—The British Ambassador, Lord Pauneefote, who is sum mering here, received word by cable to night that a cable had been received In England from the British Minister at Pe kin, Sir Claude MacDonald, dated July 21, stating that the British legation had been besieged from July 16 up to the time the message had been sent, and that during that time an armistice had been declared.
