Revoiting stories are told of barbarities practiced upon Japanese and European prisoners captured on the way to Peking, though it was not known before that Ad- miral Seymour had The lost any prisoners. Chinese troops marching toward entsin, the Chinese say, left behind trafls of rapine, fire and blood. Na- women were ravished and children Direct tidings from Peking end with the dispatch sent by Sir Robert Hart on June 2. According to roundabout reports, it is asserted by the Chinese that Prince Tuan is personally directing the assault upon the legation. He conferred honors and gave large sums of money and other money to every soldier taking part in the operation. An edict of Prince Tuan has reached Shanghai, ordering the southern Viceroys to assemble the Chinese fleet and to at- tack the warships at Shanghal. Japan is reported to be landing an army to the northward of Taku. The Japanese generals are believed to be about to move toward Peking, following the plan pre- viously formulated. Panic at Shanghai. European and American residents In Shanghal are quite in a panic over what i1s viewed as _the inadequate military preparations of the powers. A dispatch to the Express from Shanghal says that according to the best military estimates 000 men will be necessary to subjugate and even_then it will take two or three years.

Some of the powers wished to postpone a settlement because they were not ready for it, but it was said that England was not willing to postpone a decision.

Chalrman Thomas, after the udo‘mon of the report without debate, appointed a committee consisting of former Governoi McCreary of Kentucky, Daniel Campau of Michigan, and Mayor Phelan of San Francisco to_escort the permanent chair- man to the platform. Owing to the densely packed condition of the aisles it required some little time for Messrs. Campau, McCreary and Phe- jan to get close enough to Mr. Richard- son to escort him to the platform The four men marching in single file, the col- The'm. | umn headed by Governor MeCreary, iowed their way to the side of Chairman ll!‘)mma.fl, Governor McCreary advanced to the front of the platform and said: “Gentlemen of the convention, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the permanent chairman of this conven- tion, Hon. James D. Richardson of Ten- nessee. Mr. Richardson répeatedly bowed his acknowledgments of the cheers that swept in wave after wave through the hall.

The hall had become very let by this time and the address of Chairman Rich- | ydson was given a much better hearing than any that had preceded it. His ar- raignment of the failure of the Repub- lican party to establish bimetallism and the creation inst of a single gold standard was received with manifesta- tions of hearty approval. ‘Wild Outburst for Bryan, The conclusion of Chairman Richard. son’s speech, which he had arranged un- der sixtecn separate heads, was the sig- nal for terrific applause and cheer: His mention of the name of W. J. Bryan brought the conventlon to its feet in a frenzy of excitement. Delegates sprang upon their chairs, waying hats, handker- chiefs, and umbrellas in the wildest fash- fon. By a common impulse the guidons bearing the names ‘of the States were torn up and thrust into the air. Then down the aisles toward the speaker’s desk came groups of delegates -urroundmg the man who held the name of their State aloft. Texas and New York became en- gaged in a rivairy as to which should hold the name of the State highest in the air. The Lone Star State had the ad- vantage at the outset, for the New York standard had been grasped by onhe of the small men of the delegation. This was quickly remedied when the Tamman men saw themselves in second place. The pole bearing the name of the State was grabbed from the small New Yorker, he was bumped down into his chair, and Kellar, indorsed by New York for Vice President, seized it. Kellar put Texas In second place in a flash and try as desper- ately as he might, the Texan could not place the name of his State within a foot of that of New York. ild with excite- ment, the Texans grasped their man, raised him on their shoulders and New York was down again—but as before i went down only to rise higher. Richai Croker, Grady. Carroll and a half-dozen others of the New York delegation came to Kellar's ald and the emblem of the Empire State went up again nearer the ceiling by a foot than Texas had reached. Frenzy Seizes Delegates. While this strife was going on between the two States the frenzy had taken hold of the other delegatlons, and from all l?:t \lngflrutnl;'thhrloll‘:l n;:rylnt :h:lhm 4 "0 Ir e emblems. They became densely packed in front of the -Pe.kdr'u desk, an 11in; and cheering like manlacs, the'%!ryo‘l != raise the names of their States level with that of New York. The effort was use- less, however. Held firm the Tammany men, New York kept its place. The Georgla men, wrought up by their fallure to equal New York, made a rush for the speaker's stand. They went through the crowd with a force that no opposition of the crowd could prevent, and pushing, shoving, clawing and cheering: was successful and New York was eclipsed once more. Kellar is no small man to hold aloft in a crowd of strug- gling, pushing men, and the Tammany crowd was nearly ready to drop with ex- haustion, but a glance at the Georgia ban- ner brought new strength into their wearied arms and new determination into thelr hearts, and Mr. Kellar went up still higher, and New York was on top once more, The convention by this time was in a state of franiuc excitement. The men from Hawall, carrying their large banner, came down the aisle, followed by a shouting mob which bore all before it. The band struck up “The Stars and Stripes,” and to these inspiring strains the men commenced to march around the floor, yelling like madmen, waving every- thing ‘that could be lifted into the air. as though they were made of brass, and oflmn-‘}f designed for one night's wear eepskins worked away for dear life. Nobody Knew what they played—nobody cared, They were doing their full share, and that was all that was necesasry. Half-Hour of Excitement.
