Washington, July 11.—At the Kan- ; gas City convention were many of the wen who belonged to the volunteer regiment of cavalry which, through the influence of its Lieutenant Colo- nel, Theodore Roosevelt, had the good fortune to get into Cuba while there was fighting to be done. One ofthesenamed McMillan, whose home isin New Mexico, was Roosevelt's orderly on the day of the hard fight- ingat San Juan Hill. It was MecMillan’s duty dove by the side of Roosevelt in or | tocarry messages and perform other b like services. McMillan told with | P prideat Kansas City of the part he took in the battle, and proved by betters from Roosevelt that he his orderly on the day mentioned. Said MeMillan: “Roosevelt, though game, was the most fidgety and ner- | yous man I ever saw in danger—and have seen lots of men in a heap more danger than any of us at San Juan Hill. During most of the charge up the hill we had to craw! on all fours through the tall grass. The bullets was whizzing around us mightily. I stayed close to Roosevelt all through theebarge. He was on his all fours most of the time goin’ up hill, like the . Rstofus. Nota word did he speak to me or anybody else during the ex- citement. Fact is he kept his mouth rammed so full of grass that he could not have talked very plain if he had tried. He kept pullin’ up grass by the handful, stuffin’ it in his mouth, chewin’ it and spittin’ it out, and then rammin’ another handfal, roots, dirt and all. Before them terrible hours was over I'll bet Roosevelt chawed up and spit outenough grass to make a bale of hay. Still, he did not flinch. He kept movin’ up. was just the awful excitement that made him keep chawin’ grass.”” to keep 8 was Lincoln on McKinley's Policy.

In the consistent speeches, replying to Douglas, the first Republican president said : “These arguments that are made, that the inferior races are to be treat- ed with as much allowance as they are capable of enjoying; that much is to be done for them as their condition will allow—what are these arguments? They are the arguments that kings have made for enslaving the people in all ages of the world. as — HON.J. 8.

The attackers were divided. Prince Tuan commanded the center, the right wing was led by Prince Tsai Yin, and the left by Prince Yin Lin. The re- serves were under Prince Tsin Yu. “The attack commenced with artillery fighting, which was severe and lasted until 7 o'clock in the morning, by which time both leg tions were destroyed and all the for- eigners were dead. while the streets around the legations were full of the dead bodies of both foreigners and Chinese. On hearing of the attack Prince Ching and Gen. Wan Wen Shao went with troops to assistance of the for- eigners, but they were outnumbered and defeated. Both Prince Ching and Gen. Wang Wen Shao were kill- ed. : Two foreigners are said to have escaped through the gates, one with a heavy sword wound in his head. Prince Tuan, in celebration of the victory, distributed 100,000 taels and huge quantities of rice to the boxers.” Hanna's Brutalisms. Chairman Hanna indulged in the following criticisms of his cowboy candidate: “Teddy’s voice is in bad shape.” “Then, again, Teddy is awkward at the oratory He strains himself to make every man in sight hear him.” Teddy is too emphatic, too am- bitious.
