Arkansas Democratic Convention to
Meet at Little Rock.
Little Rock, June 25.—An effort will
bo mado in the Democratic state conven
tion to instruct for D. B. Hill of New
York for vice president The movement
will be led by Representative Charles J.
Parker. Chairman James K. Jones of
the national committee is a delegate to the
convention and he will probably favor
an uninstructed delegation on the vice
presidency. An interesting contest is
expected on the proposition.
The warmest fight in the convention
will be on national committeeman, the
candidates being Congressman T.O. Mc
Rae and eX’Govemor J. P. Ularke. Sen
ator Jones is taking a hand in the fight
and favors McRae. •
Attorney General Jeff Davis will be
nominated for governor by acclamation
and will be also sent to the Kansas City
convention as a delegate-at-large. The
convention will be the most largely at-
ttended of any Democratic gathering in
recent years.
ORTSE1FEN IS CONFIDENT.
Believes He Will Be Nominated For
' Governor of Illinois.
Springfield, I1L, June 25.—There is
no change in the situation of the Demo
cratic contest for the gubernatorial
nomination. Adam Ortseifen, the Chi
cago candidate,has arrived, accompanied
by about 20 of his friends, including a
few delegates. He said:
“I find a strong sentiment in favor of
my nomination because I am a German,
for it is not forgotten that onr last Demo
cratic governor, the only one elected in
40 years, was a German.”
Probably 200 delegates are now in
town. The convention is now sohedultd
to last two days. The nomination of the
ticket will be postponed dntil Wednes
day. ' .
Senator Bu tier’s Opinions.
Raleigh, June 25.—Populist National
Chairman Marion Butler, who is here,
says: **I believe McKinley and Roose
velt make the strongest ticket the Re
publicans could select. I think Roose
velt adds strength to the ticket; hut if
the Democrats nominate Brvan and
Towne, McKinley and Roosevelt cai
defeated.”

CHINESE PERIL
Powers Have At Lajt Awak
ened To the Gravity
Of the Situation.
HUSHING FORCES T0TAKU
Troops At iPcesent Available Are In
adequate—Russia Orders the Amur
Military District Placed Oa a-War
Footing—Admiral Seymour’s Force.
Consul Goodnow Reports From
Shanghai.
London, June 25.—Although the pow-
rs at last’seem cons'cious of the magni
tude of tho Chinese peril and ore con-
certedly hurrying forces to Taku, the
international troops available to over
come the immediate perils of the situa
tion are, apparently, totally inadequate.
The alarm is not only for the safety of
Vice Admiral Seymour and his party,
who are not mentioned in any of the
dispatches purporting to come from Pe
king, but for his base at Tien Tsin,
whioh remains unrelieved. Almost the
only ray of light is the report of Sheug,
the director of railroads aud telegraphs,
forwarded by the French consul general
at Shanghai, to the effect that the lega
tions were safe June 10 and preparing
to leave the capital with the consent of
the Chinese government. But the mo
tives of the Chinese officials in keeping
the powers appeased by reassuring mes
sages is too obvious to allow the unre
served acceptance of the statements.
Tien Tsin is so hard pressed that it
must bo relieved before assistance can
be sent to Seymour’s force. The ab
sence of the oxact date of the last dis
patch from Taku, and other messages
makes it difficult to connect the various
stories, but some of the dispatches might
bo road as indicating that even the large
force mentioned by Rear Admiral
Kempff as about to start toward Tien
Tsin has met the same fate
bined American and Russian column
which was repulsed June 21

THIRTY-ONE PERISH
I IN SOUTHERN WRECK
Appalling- Loss of Life At
Camp Creek.
PLUNGED INTO A WASHOUT
Northbound Passenger Train Falls 60
Feet Into a Raging Torrent—Fire
Follows—Only Nine Survive, All of
Whom Were Injured.
Atlanta, June 25.—The worst wreck
ever known in the south, oocurred near
McDonough, Saturday night, 28 miles
from here.
The entire train crew of six men, five
of th-m and 26 passengers, were killed.
Only nine passengers were rescued, all
of whom were mole or less seriously in-
jure<L
The wreck occurred at ,Oamp creek,
miles north of McDonough, and was
caused by the underming of the culvert
at that point and the caving of the em
bankment.
The crew consisted of J. T. Sullivan,
engineer; W. A. Barclay, conductor; H.
~ Oressman, Pullman conductor; W.
... Bennett, baggagemaster; J. J
Quinlan, flagman, and W. H. Green,
Quinlan being the only one to escape
death.
Arriving at McDonough, the usual
stop was made, when the train palled
out for Atlanta.
The train was running pretty fast
when it reached Camp creek, but the
culvert was so well constructed that
Engineer Sullivan gave no thought to
the possibility of a. Washout there, and
before he knew of his danger he had
lged 50 feet into ths raging torrent
>W, the coaches piling up on top of
the engine in the gorge.
Fire followed the wreck and three
who would otherwise escaped with their
livfts perished in the flames. The scene
beggars description.

LORD SALISBURY HOPEFUL
He Believes Chinese Embrogllo Will
Be Amicably Adjusted. v
London, Jane 25.—Lord Salisbury is
still hopeful that the Ohineso crisis will
be solved i without war against that
country as a whole. In spite of the
alarming reports ho inclines to the be
lief that the government of China, in
some satisfactory form, will shortly be
BEYOND THE DANGER LINE.
Ocmulgee River Is Now a Raging Tor
rent— Brldgq Collapses.
Macon, June 25.—The Ocmulgeeriver
is now far above the danger line and is
a raging torrent. At 4 o’clock the force
of the water was such as to tear away
onehalf of the substructure of a fine new
bridge in course of construction at Fifth
street, connecting the main city with
the populous suburb of East Macon.
All the streams in this section are at
flood tide, but thus far all trains, with
the exception of the Atlanta division of
the Southern, are running on time. The
Southern disaster has interfered with
the mails from the east.
Why .Don’t You Dress that Wound
and engineers as a fighting force, be
sides two battalions to guard communi
cations.
Tho Official Gazette of St. Petersburg
contains an order of the czar, as follows:
“As we consider it necessary to raise
the troops in the Amur military district
to a war footing, we direct the war :
ister to take the requisite measures,
the same time, we direct that the neces
sary number of reservists belonging to
the Siberian military district snt ’*
called out for active service.”
ADMIRAL SEYMOUR’S FORCE
It Numbered 2,000 Men From the
Allied Ships.
London, Juno 25.—The admiralty has
received the following dispatch from
Rear Admiral Bruce, at Taku via Che
Fa: ✓ .
The total force which left Tien Tsin
with the commander-in-chief for Peking
was about 2,000, composed of detach
ments from the allied ships. No action
could possibly be taken to relieve the
coinn .nder-in-chief, because it was only
known that ho was out off by Tien Tsin
being invested.
“Tien Tsin has been fighting for its
life ever since. It was on receipt of this
information that the Chinese hod or
dered trains for attacking Tien Tsin,
that they were raiding Tong Ku and re
inforcing Taku, as Veil as mining the
month of the Pei Ho, that it was prompt
ly determined to seize Taka. Since then
every effort has been made to relieve
Tien Tsin. I have commanded a small
coasting steamer for taking troops and
sick and wounded across the bay to Wei
Hai Wei, where I intend making a tem
porary base hospital aud asylum for
refugees. ’ ’
COSUL GOQDNOW’S REPORT.
_ , All that remained
of the train was a mass of ruins, the
coaches being completely demolished.
Flagman Quinlan, although badly in
jured, escaped from the wreckage and
carried the news of the disaster to Mo-
Donough.
The northbound freight was held np
and a rescuing party hurriedly organ

Washington, June 25. — Up to 11
o’clock this forenoon no word had been
received at either the war or navy de
partments as to the condition of affairs
China. Nor has Admiral Remey
been heard from, and it is not known
whether he has sailed on the Brooklyn

anxiously awaited list of casualties from
Admiral Kempff has not appeared nor
has a word come as to the result of the
second engagement at Tien Tsin.
Ths state department is also without
anything to shed light on the situation,
except a dispatch from United States
Consul Goodeuow at Shanghai, saying
that nothing reliable has been received
there as to the condition of affairs at
Peking and elsewhere. This rather de
tracts from the reassuring unofficial
press dispatches.
Cavalry For China.
San Francisco, June 25.—An order
from Adjutant General Corbin has been
received at tho presidio, directing that

The occupants of the Pullmqp.
caped death, but were all more or less
seriously injured.
The rescued tell harrowing tales of
the scenes immediately following the
wreck as well as detailing many deeds
of heroism.
The culvert was examined 80 minutes
before the wreck, and reported all right.
The culvert and embankment simply
gars way under the unprecedented
pressure and volume of watgr, for it was
a magnificent piece of masonry'of gran
ite and brick over a stream usually 6
inches deep and 5 feet wide, and In lour
hours it was 40 foot deep and 500 feet
wide and no piece of masonry could
have withstood this immense flood.

able to reassert itself. He does not mean
that he belittles the professions of the
various viceroys who nave given notice
of their willingness to oo-opwate with
the United States forces. Without com
mitting himself to a definite view of the
future, he appears averse to any scheme
of territorial indemnity, whioh,. when
order is restored, might be suggested by
the powers who have suffered daring
the uprising.
The interview of the United States
ambassador, Mr. jpaeph H. Choate,
with Lord Salisbury, Saturday, was due
to instructions received from Secretay
Hay, in which the ambassador was noti
fied of the friendly professions of the
various viceroys and was instructed to
secure Lord Salisbury’s views beyond
casual, conversation. He maintained
the belief that the diplomats at Peking
had not been massacred and did not be
lieve they were likely to be. He is emi
nently satisfied with the aotion already
taken by the United States and expressed
the same views as are attributed to Sec
retary Hay. *
In short, the conference may be said
to have not elicited a single point on
which Lord Salisbury differed from the
American attitude.
Judging from the acoonnt of what
passed between Mr. Choate and Lord
Salisbury and the statement that Great
Britain and the other nations, so faros
the foreign office knew, were oonfinlng
all their energies aud deliberations sole
ly to the present predicament is a sin
cere statement of mot. If Russia, Japan,
or any other power has an ulterior ob
ject in making capital out of the trouble
m China, Lord Salisbury does not seem
to be aware of it.

there is nothing in the story of his pos

Both the Transit company and the
