The shanghai correspondent of the Times, under yesterday's date, gives the following description, said to be trom official sources, of the action at Taku. ©n the afternoon of June 16, in view of the large bodies of Chinese §roops assembling at the forts, and w the facts that torpedoes had been laid in the river, and that all com- wunications were interrupted, the agave) commanders held a council and decided to send an ultimatum, galling for the disbandment of the troops, announcing that if this de- axand was not complied with before 2. m. of the following day, the snited squadron would destroy the ists. “Shortly after midnight the forts opened fire. The British, French, German, Russian and Japanese wa ships replied. Two of the forts wer dlown ap and the rest were carried ty assault. “two British, one American and five Chinese warships are in Chee-Foo Habor.” This morning papers consider that & state of war practically exists, and what the issue is between Eastern and Western civilization. Washington, June 18.—As a result ai the grave situation in China, part- ty: rasewied in dispatches to-day from Rear Admiral Remey and Command- er EBD. Taussig of the Yorktown, farther measures were taken to-day Sor the protection of American inter- ws in the Celestial Empire. Bhe battleship Oregon has been rected to proceed with sailors and marines to Taku. With the arrival of the Oregon at Taku our naval force will consist, in addition to the battleship, of the Newark, Yorktown, Concord, Nash- tille and Monocacy. ear Admiral Kempff has been di- rected to act concurrently with the farces of the other Powers without Binding the future policy of the Unit- ed States. General MacArthur has been in- tormed of the necessity of hurrying she Ninth Infantry to Taku as soon as possible, and it is expected to sail Sunday. Colonel E. H. Liscum, the commander, is ordered to report to Minister Conger and co-operate with tim and the naval forcesin establish- ing order. ‘The return of Admiral Seymour's wlief column to Tien-Tsin is inter- preted here as a very bad sign. Some shink his retreat was due to informa- sion that the foreign legations in Pekin have been burned and the dip- lomatic corps and foreigners mas- aacred, but this is not generally cred- ited. If the foreigners in the capital ave stillalive, they are certainly ina @esperate plight. They are probably besieged and have had no opportu- nity of obtaining food and water. Admiral Seymour was probably wbiiged to return to Tien-Tsin be- cause of the failure of the provision train to reach him and the lack of water except that in the streams and wells along the road, which may have Seen poisoned. It is now evident that a stronger solumn, well provisioned. must force its way to Pekin. There will be no lack of troops. Great Britain, Rus- sia, Japan and the United States have given orders to strong detach- ments to proceed to Taku. From shat point they will go by water to Vien-Tsin, and then march to Pekin} ever the road followed by Admiral} Seymour's column. The Ninth Infantry will be convey- ad from Menila by the transport Port Albert, and is likely to reach Taku about June 30. If the relieving col- umn waits until its arrival the for- eign legations cannot be relieved be woreearly in July. If the legations | are andergoing a siege it is feared in| afficial and diplomatic circles that} they will be unable tohold out.

Roberts’ credentials to a seat in Congress were regular and Mr. De- Armond and Mr. Little of Maine, one of the brightest republicans in Con- gress, maintained in support of the minority report that he was entitled to his seat on his credentials. Mr. DeArmond did not hesitate to say that charges should then be preferred against him for practicing polygamy and that he would vote against him. Surely the editor of that paper is not so densely ignorant that hecould not understand Mr. DeArmond’s position on that question. Lie No. “Opposing the building of the Nicaragua canal.” Mr. DeArmond is in favor of build- ing the Nicarauga canal and keep- ing it under the control of all times.

Some doubt was expressed by the members of the committee that the great hall could not be completed by July 4, and there was talk of urging the local committee to have a night shift of mechanics put to work upon the building, but after the sub-com- mittee had been in conference with the local committee and the super- vising architects, they no longer doubted, and accepted the assuran that the hall would be finished time. Aiter adjournment it was stated that the only business of public in- terest transacted was the apportion- ment of tickets of admission to the convention among the delegates and alternates Apportioned Tickets. in It was decided that each of the 930 delegates should receive, besides his own seat, fourtickets of admission to all the sessions of the eonvention, but that no extra tickets would be xiven to the alternates, their perqui- sites being limited toa seatin the eonvention.

Washington, June 15.—"I am afraid the republican party will re- ceive a hard rapin my state in the next election,” said Henry Cooper of Saginaw, Mich., to-day. “This rap will be given by the farmers. The trust proposition will be responsible. We have been given a sample of how trusts operate in the barbed wire in- dustry. We are asked three times the real value of the article. We are not going to pay it. We 1 go without barbed wire before we sub- mit. We have been told that this combination and the increased price of the wire are due to the republican administration, which makes it pos- siqle for such combinations to be effective. We think that a new ad- ministration could better regulate things. Ihave no doubt that this change will be made at the fall elec- tions.
