The new Coliseum is on Wabash nve- nue between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets on the site of the Libby prison, nnd within its walls were gathered of the largest assembles ever in city under one roof. K The arrangements for the joint cerm 1 monies of tho dedication of the en¬ campment wero most elaborate and were greatly enjoyed by the 10,000 persons who crowded through the doors. A chorus of 1,000 costumed to rep- resent a living flag occupied an im- menso platform at one end of the building and close by them was the great band of lOOpieces that were to ren : drr tho concerts during the week of the encampment. Jules Lombard, the famous singer of war times, was (hero Riid sang tho “Star Spangled Banner” from the original manuscript. Tho dedicatory exercises comprised an address by F. by O.

Tho chief arrival of the dmy was that of tho Spanish minister, tjie Dne De’Arcos, with the Conntess D’Areog.

Fully 10,000 people attended. Despite a heavy rain tho grand grand patriotic aud sacred song serv¬ ice at the Coliseum Sunday night was attended by a throng which taxed the capacity of tho immense bnilding to the utmost. It is estimated thnt fully 13,000 people were packed into tho hall, and thousands moro were unable to gain admission. The programme for Monday included the dedication of tho naval arch in Michigan avenue at 9 a. m., the parade of the naval veterans, parade of gov¬ ernment vessels and private yachts on Lako Michigan, tho course being from opposite the lake front park to off the center of Lincoln park, a distance by water of three miles, a naval battle off Lincoln park and in tbe evening a meeting of tlie Society of tho Prisoners of War in the Coliseum. TALK OF EXTRA SESSION. President Is Sounding Kepnbllcnn Mem¬ bers of Congress On tho Subject* The Atlanta Constitution's special Washington correspondent vires his paper as follows: There is a strong probability of con- - gross being called together in extraor,. dinar? session. For some days thr president has been considering this and has, through letters, been sonnd- ing prominent Republican leaders. Tlie views of a number of these have already been received, but it is prob- able that no final decision will be reached for a few days yet, within which time others will bo heard from.

CHAFFEE IS SILENT Cutting of Telegraph Wires B/ Chineso Is the Cause, A WAR RUMOR NEEDS CONFIRMATION ■ » *.,** ...... . . Report .Stated That Husain, Germany niul Japan Had Come Out With a Dec¬ laration of Ifoatllitle*. A Washington special says: Up to Monday morning the war department had not rccoived from Gcnernl Chaffee tho report requested of him a few days ago upon conditions iu Pekin. In fact, several recent cablegrams of inquiry addressed to the general haro not been answered. It may be found necessary to call on General Chaffee again for a full report for the guidance of the officials of this government. It. is supposed that the uncertainty of communication between l'ekin and Tien Tsin is responsible for General Chaffee’s silence. The wireB have been cut bet wet n tho capital and Tien Tsin, aud it is probable that the messages were sent by courier from Tien Tsin. It is regarded ns very unfortunate that there should be such difficnlly of communication at this time. The de¬ partment is depending in large moaa- ure upon General Chaffee for informa¬ tion. It is not believed nt tho war depart¬ ment thnt Ihe two casunlty lists, one dated Tien Tsin, fte 21st, nnd the other tho 23d, were sent by General ..-Chaffee in person. . It is thought that his name was signed ns a matter of form. A brief dispatch received Sunday from Che Foo conveying a rumor cur- 'rent there that Russia, Germany and Japan had joined in a declaration of war npon Cliiua is not tskon seriouslv in either official or diplomatic ciroles in ,'From Washington. ; no official sonreo has tho war -.department learned of the departure of forty Americans from Pekin for Tien Tsin, ns reported in a special dispatch 'to. a Lohdon newspaper. -The war department also has taken up the matter of cable communication and lias asked tho cnblo company to see if ihe Chaffee messages can be straightened t/ut, nnd also* to ascertain it tho messages sent to General Chnf- foe can reach him, and if they cannot be delivered, why. It is, of course, recognized that the boxers are inter- rupting the line constructed by tho signal thaisame cqrps from Tien Tsin to Pekin, At time, with conrmuuication by cable with Shanghai, thence over¬ land to Che Foo by cable to Taku and a projected line to Tien Tsin, it is felt al the department that communications should bo more expeditions. A dispatch received at tho Japanese legation front the. foreign office of Japan conveys tho latest and most nn- thentic iuformation of the situation in and around Pekin. In a measure tho advices were of a disquieting nature, as they indicated thnt the Chinese hnd rallied their forces and wero preparing for an attack ( npon the allies in Pekin, If it should prove that the allied forces were besieged iu l’ekin it would account for the lack of advices from General Chaffee.

In Akron, Ohio, the heart of the boasted wostern reserve, a mob Wed¬ nesday night sought tho life of a negro prisoner aud in a conflict with the authorities blood was shed. Two persons wero dead and another dying shortly after tho troublo began. One of tlie victims was a baby four years old, shot while lying in its car¬ riage. Many personi^were wounded, more or less seriously.

ALL CHAOS IN PEKIN Reports Reach London That Great Fire Rages In Imperial City. ORATE DISSENSIONS AMONG ALLIES C hnfTee.Declines, to Taho Further Part lu Attack on Palacoortlio Punishing Of Chinese. Advices of Thursday from London state that fires, fighting and dissen¬ sion are apparently following in the wnko of tho rolief of Pekin. The Lon- don Daily Mail publishes dispatches from the Chinese capital, dated os late as-August 17th, declaring that a great tire was then raging in tho imperial oily. The Russian commander had declined to accept the decision of tho other generals, not to violate tho im¬ perial precincts and street fighting was going on. General Chaffee, so it is asserted, maintained that, the Chi nose had been adequately puuishod already and that it would bo unwise to tako tho impe¬ rial palace. This explains tho with¬ drawal of the Amerieaus after brcakirijft three gates, as cabled by tho special correspondent of tho Associated Press. Tho Russian general, however, main¬ tained that his government, had de¬ clared war against China, and that therefore there wore no reasons to pre¬ vent him carrying hostilities into tho sacred precincts. Judging from various, and in many eases contradictory, dispatches that reached Europe Thursday morning from Pekin, the commanders eventu¬ ally adopted a middle course, fqr ,a Reuter tolegrant; asserts That sentries were placed to prevent, looting.

POWERS GUESS AT NEXT MOVE Rnssians and Germans Have Al* lies On Anxious Bench. MAY KEEP UP HOSTILITIES Czar’s Commander Says He Pro¬ poses to Go Ahead Regardless of What Others Do. A Washington special says: Thoro is .treat anxiety in official circles over the attitude of Russia aud Germany iu China. The announcement thnt tho general commanding the Russian troops has .said he proposes to go ahead with his operations regardless of what tho other powers do, becauso his government lias declared war against China,'is considered by tho president and his advisers as the gravost kind of n complication, opening up, as it docs, all sorts ot possibilities of continued trouble. Germany’s attitude is also being viewed with alarm. While there has been no statement from Germany like that of the Rnssinn general, it is re¬ garded ns significant thnt the Gorman government decliues to accept Li Hung Chang as nn anthemed envoy of China nnd that military prepara¬ tions are being rapidly 'rushed for¬ ward by the Germans. In diplomatic circles thoro is a feeling that tho kaiser and the czar have a littlo un¬ derstanding between themselves which bodes more or less trouble to tho rost 0 f Europe, and which is likely to in- volve this country so long as-we are on the sceno with our troops. ' According to one member of the di- p i om atio corps tho opinioti-prevails that Russia and Germany consider this an excellent opportunity to force Eng- land to show hor hand and incidentally to briug about a con dition which will inure to their benefit in more ways than one. The possibility of theso complica- tions was the chief theme discussed at Friday’s meeting of tho eabiuet and the understanding is.that it was do- termined by that meeting that this rgovernmont should take immediate steps looking to a more definite aseer- tainment of the views and intentions of the European powers, and prepara- t-ions to this end have already boon taken, _ .• / .A decidedly unplghsant piece of news which-.conspired •* to add to the pessimistic view of the situation held officials was-tho report from ! .Consul Johnson of serious outbreaks * R t Amoy.

POPULISTS TO BRYAN Nebraskan Notified of His Nom¬ ination at Topeka, Kansas. MONETARY LEAGUE ENDORSES Hr. Bryan’s Speech of Acceptance Was Along the Line of That Made at Indianapolis. At Topeka, Kan., Thursday William Jennings Bryan received the second official notification of his nomination for tho presidency. This notification came from the Populist party through Thomas M. rattorsou, of Colorado. He was at the same time informed by A. W. Rnckor of the indorsement of his candidacy by tho Unitod States Monetary League. in The ceremonies took place the state eapitol grounds and were wit¬ nessed by a large audiouoe. In many respects the meeting paral¬ leled the Indianapolis notification. This was true in the fact thnt both wore held in parks; in thnt the weather was intensely hot and in thnt the im¬ patience of the crowd compelled speak¬ ers preceding Mr.' Bryan to curtail their remarks, and the entire cerems- nies ended iu about an hour and a half. Bain had been threatened early iu the day, hut boforc the meeting wns called to order at 3:30 o’clock, all fears of a storm had vanished. Many of tho auditors found their way to the vicinity of the stand an hour or more before Ihe speaking be¬ gan, and valiantly held their gronnd, despite the intense beat. State Chairman Ridgely, of the Pop¬ ulist party, introduced Jus. A. Trout¬ man, who made a brief speech welcom¬ ing Mr. Bryan to the oity. Mr. Trout¬ man formerly wns lieiitennnt governor of the state, and is Republican iu pol¬ itics. llis speech wns personally com¬ plimentary to Mr. Bryun. Mr. Troutman was followed by Frank Doster, chief justico of tbe state, who extended the welcome of the stnto nt large. Ho had prepared a spoech, but he delivered only a small pnrt of it becauso of tho heat and the evident dosire to hear Mr. Bryan. Mr. Doster was followed by Jerry Simpson, who was introduced as the permanent chairman in tho absence of National Ohairmnn Butler. Mr. Simp- . son made a brief speech congratulate ing Topeka upon being selected as a place for the notification of Mr. Bryan by a great parly as its candidate for the presidency. Ho compared Mr. Bryan with Lincoln and predicted that lie would lead the people back to the landmark of human liberty which Lincoln had so materially assisted ia establishing. “Let us trust,” ho said, “that Ne¬ braska and Kansas, standing 'side by side ns in I860, will again give tbeir support ton candidate who lias, ns the candidate of that time, had but ono code of morals which embraces, as did Lincoln’s ali men of all times, regard¬ less of color or environment.” Mr. Simpson introduced Mr. Patter- sou, who, as chairman of the national Populist convention, became chnirmnu of the notification committee. Mr. Patterson wns received with applause and many of. his points wero loudly cheered, but, like Judge Doster, ho materially reduced the length of his speech because of the heat nnd of the impatience of the audience. Judge A. \V. Rucker, who conveyed to Mr. Bryan tho information of his indorse¬ ment by the Unitod States Monetary League, had also, to yield to the de¬ mands for a curtailment of his speech. AVhen Mr. Rucker took his sent, Mr. Simpson lost no time in introducing Mr. Bryan, who was received with a hrilrst "of applause'.
