\nON, July 18.—The Daily Mailpublishes a sensational dispatch from St.Petersburg, dated Monday, which asserts

that there is no doubt that China has de-war against Russia.

been prohibited. I hear, however,from a reliable source that the Chi-nese troops and the Boxers seized aRussian transport vessel laden withammunition, near Aguin (on the Amurriver, about eighteen miles from theRussian frontier), killing almost allthe Russian escort. They next sud-denly attacked and bombarded thetown of Blagovechenskl (capital of theAmur government, on the Amurriver). The garrison held out bravely,but was finally overwhelmed. Near-ly all perished, and the town wasburned."

Bociated Press the following dispatch from its Shanghai correspondent,under date of July 17:

"The allied troops resumed the attack upon the Chinese walled cityof Tien Tsin on the morning of July 14, and succeeded in breachingth©walls and capturing all the forts.

"The Chinese were completely routed and the allies took possessionof the native city and its defenses.

"The total losses of the allies in the engagements of Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday were 800 killed or wounded. The casualties weregreatest among the Russians and Japanese.

"The gujis of the allies did Immense damage to the native city, caus-ing many large conflagrations and finally silenced the majority of theenemy's guns simultaneously. Then 1,600 Russians, assisted by smallparties of Germans and French, assaulted and captured eight guns thatwere In position on the railway embankment and the forts, the magazineof which the French subsequently blew up. A body of American, Brit-ish, Japanese and Austrian trooDs then made a sortie and attacked thewest arsenal, which the Chinese had reoccupled. After three hoursof the hardest fighting yet experienced the Chinese fled."

nese were driven out of the west arsenal

• after a fierce cannonade.A strong mixed force is now close to

the walls, and it is expected that an as-eault will be made tomorrow.

When the arsenal had been evacuatedby the Chinese the Americans, French,

Japanese and Welsh fusiliers advancedtoward the native city and joined with

the other attacking forces. The Japan-

fa ntry and a mounted battery ad-

vanced to the foot of the walls, sup-

ported by the Americans and French.„Despite violent attacks the allies were

;ib!e to hold the positions gained out-

side the walls, preparatory to renewing

assault in the morning.The casualties sustained by the allies

were exceedingly heavy, especially thoseto the Americans, French and Japanese.

Several explosions in the native city

were caused by the bombardment.The Chinese appear to have exhausted

their supply of smokeless powder, asthey are now using black powder,

j.l HUNG CHANG TALKS.

LONDON, July IS—The Daily telegraphhas the following from Canton, datedJuly 16:

"In an interview with the foreign con-suls today Li Hung Chang sai;l that hismission to Peking was two-fold—to savethe lives of the foreign ministers and toarrange the best possible terms of peacewith the allied powers. The Americanrind French consuls, while congratulating

him upon these commendable purposes,reminded him of pledges to protect for-

rg and to preserve peace in South-v crn and Central China. Earl Li replied'that he must obey the summons to Pe-king, but that he had taken all necessaryprecautions.

"To the American whor

inquired aboutthe actual safety of the' foreign minis-ters at Peking, Li answered that he hadreceived no news from Peking: withinthe past week, but that if the,y wereelive he was almost certain matters couldbe satisfactorily arranged with the alliedpowers..."'lf they are dead'—here he shruggedhis shoulders significantly addedwith lowered voice—'it is hard to tellwhat may happen. I am going to Pe-king practically unarmed, except for mybody guard of 200 men, and that ought to

•be evidence to the whole world that I donot favor any fighting and of my pacificIntentions. I am old and in very poorliealth, and it is a great personal sacri-fice to undertake such a journey in thishorrid weather." (

ADMIRALREMEY'S REPORT.WASHINGTON. July 17.—Admiral Re-

l'laiik in Platform—MissouriDemocrats Ignore Silver.

LINCOLN. Neb., July 17.—William J.Bryan's attention was called today to thefact that some "anti-imperialists" hadannounced they would be opposed to himon account of the silver plank In theplatform, and he was asked as to whetherthis fact would seriously affect the anti-Imperialist vote. He said:

"Several gold standard opponents ofimperialism have already announced theirintention to support the Democratic tick-et, although the Anti-Imperial league

has not acted officially. In such a mattereach individual is governed by his own-views as to the relative importance of is-

sues. The Democratic platform declares

the question of imperialism to be the par-amount issue. If any opponent of Im-perialism refuses to support the Demo-cratic ticket it must be because he con-siders the money question more impor-

tant than the Philippine question; that

he prefers a gold standard empire to abimetallic republic. I believe that whenthe time comes those who believe thatthe governments derive their just powers

not from superior force, but from the con-sent of the governed, will indorse ourticket, even though they do not support

the silver plank. A large number ofDemocrats believe that a restoration ofbimetallism would be a blessing, but anti-imperialists who do not believe that be-lieve that evils following bimetallismwould be lesser than evils following adeliberate indorsement of imperialism."'

SEDALIA, Mo.. July 17.—The Demo-cratic state judicial convention this aft-ernoon nominated Judge James B. Gantt,of Clinton, Henry county, for judge ofthe supreme court by acclamation.

Congressman David A. De Armond,temporary chairman, in the course of hisspeech, discussed th-e Kansas City plat-form, which, he said, rightly put im-perialism down as the chief issue of thecampaign. The outbreak in China, hecontinued, calls for prompt patriotic ac-tion.

"This outbreak and the condition inwhich we now find.ourselves," declaredMr. De Armond, "illustrates the phil-osophy of our party, that it is the dutyof the government to attend to its ownbusiness and the interests of its ownpeople ar.d avoid entanglements abroad.We must act as an American nation, notas a part of any aggregation, not as afaction of some great European mon-arch."

LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 17.—The Re-publican state convention today nomi-nated for governor Hon. John W. Yerkes,of Danville; adopted a platform declaring

the issue of the election to be the Goe-bel law election law, and adjourned with-in three hours.

There were some anti-Goebel Demo-crats in the convention, but as to howmany figures differ. In the Shelby coun-ty delegation there were, according to astatement made from the platform, nine-teen Democrats.

A feature of the speeches made wasthat they all paid tribute to what theDemocratic party has done in the past,though they unsparingly denounced thepresent Democratic state administration,and the Democratic legislature, thus In-dicating a purpose to welcome into theRepublican party all Democrats who areopposed to the Goebel election law.

HIHI111CHINESE MINISTER WU RECEIVES

A CABLEGRAM .V.\XW WCINGTHE GOOD NEWS

LEGATIONS SAFE ON JULY 9

Cabinet Discusses the Crisis, andPrepares for the Possible Cull

to Arms of AmericanTroopo.

WASHINGTON, July 17.—A decidedly

more hopeful feeing with regard to theChinese situation was apparent in all ad-ministration circles this evening. Thetide of sentiment, which has been mark-edly pessimistic, turned with the an-nouncement of the victory of the alliesat Tien Tsin and the capture of the fortsand native city, and gathered furtherstrength from Minister Wu's cablegramdeclaring that the foreign ministers atPeking were safe July 9.

Aside from these'dispatches, the.arrivalof the president and the special cabinetmeeting called to consider the situationwere the features of the day.

The cabinet met at 2:30 o'clock this af-ternoon, less than an hour after the pres-ident had arrived at the White House.Hundreds of newspaper reporters throng-ed the corridors while the cabinet wassitting behind closed doors. The sceneresembled the hottest days of the Spanishwar. There were present Secretary Hay,Secretary Root, Secretary Long, Secre-tary Gage and Postmaster General Smith.At the conclusion of the session, which

lasted two and one-half hours, Secretary

Root gave out the following formal state-| ment of the action of the cabinet:

"The president has determined that thefacts not known to us do not require orjustify calling an extra session of con-gress. Should future developments in-dicate that he is unable to do what isrequired with the means now at his com-mand, and the action of congress is re-quired to furnish either men or money,or authority, he will not hesitate to callIt together."

ALL POINTS CONSIDERED.While only this meager formal state-

ment was given out, it was ascertainedthat the whole Chinese situation wasthoroughly discussed by the cabinet. Thedecision that an extra session of con-gress was not demanded by existing con-ditions was the outcome of the showing

which both Secretary Root and Secre-tary Long were able to make as to theforce that can be thrown into Chinawithout the authorization of additionaltroops by congress, and also the decidedly

more hopeful feeling entertained by thepresident and the members of his cabi-net as to the safety of Minister Congerand the other foreigners in Peking, dueto the cable of Minister Wu reportingthe safety of the ministers July 9, twodays after their reported massacre.While this cable is not regarded as con-clusive, it is accepted in good faith forthe present.

But the administration, it can be defi-nitely stated, has set in motion some ma-chinery by which it is confidently pre-dicted absolutely authentic news as tothe fate of our minister and other for-eigners at Peking will be ascertained.The advices received from Peking, prob-ably, will be the determining factor inblazing the future course of this govern-ment. If Minister Conger has been mur-dered, an extra session of congress seemsInevitable.

Admiral Remey's message of the suc-cess .following the earlier hard fightingat Tien Tsin helped to relieve the anx-iety of the president and his advisers,but Minister Wu's message was respon-sible for the really hopeful feeling thatprevailed.

TROOPS AVAILABLE.Secretary Root gave It as his opinion

that between 10,000 and 12,000 troops couldbe spared for service in China. The3ereinforcements are to be rushed throughat the earliest possible moment. Most,if not all of them, it Is believed, can be

n. nilicitys HSt. Paul Did High Honor to New York's Gov-

ernor—The Rough Riders' IdolEntertained

No Political Color Was Attached to the Day'sDoings Until the Meeting Last Night

at the Auditorium.

St. Paul yesterday gave Gov. TheodoreRoosevelt, of New York, a welcomeworthy of the man. At the depot he waamet by a committee of prominent citi-zens, and cheered liberally en route tothe hotel. Later at the Minnesota clubGov. Roosevelt breakfasted with a dozenor more of the first men of the city. Atthe opening meeting of the league of Re-publican clubs, the hero of San Juan waspresented and made a speech notable forits brevity. An hour later he was at theCommercial club shaking hands with alarge crowd of citizens that had gatheredthere to greet him.

In the afternoon the governor wasagain the central figure at a receptionheld In the ordinary of the Commercialclub. During the afternoon he graspedthe hands of thousands at the Ryanhotel, and at the Auditorium he deliveredwhat must be regarded as the openingspeech of the campaign. The day wascrowded with many shiftings of scenesfor the governor and before midnight hewas on hds way home again, on Presi-dent Earlings private car, ha\ing beenIn St. Paul hardly longer than during

the hours of daylight.

GREETED AT THE DEPOT.Weather conditions could not have been

improved for the visit of New York'sgovernor, and at the depot a large throngawaited the arrival of Gov. Roosevelt'sparty. "When he stepped from the plat-form his bronzed hand was grasped lirstby one member of the reception com-mittee and then by another until thehandshake had been general. The gov-ernor wore a campaign hat, and hisrather pleasant but resolute face wus

• tanned by the Southern sun, recently en-countered at the Rough Riders' reunion.The cheering continued for several min-utes. A dozen blue coats made an avenueof exit for the governor and his party,

\u25a0 which consisted of Col. George R. Peck,general solicitor of the Milwaukee road;A. J. Knapp, Gov. Roosevelt's privatesecretary; Luther B. Little, a memberof the New York state Republican statecommittee; J. I. B. Nutting, of Daven-port, 10. In addition to these Thomas H.Shevlin, national committeeman for Min-nesota, and H. T. Black were aboardthe train, having gone to Chicago theday before to meet the city's guest.

CLUBMEN IN KHAKI.The Roosevelt Republican club lined up

along the depot platform as an escortand gave round after round of cheersfor the visitor. A squad of mountedpolice were at the station entrance and alarge corps of unmounted officers keptthe curious crowd back.

Without delay Gov. Roosevelt took aseat in a carriage in company with CondeHamlin, Jesse A. Greg-g-, and the bandand mounted policemen formed the ad-vance platoon of the procession. TheRoosevelt Republican club, uniformed InKhaki suits, in command of Lieut. Book-staver, followed. Along the line of inarchthe sunburned official was obliged morethan once to raise and acknowledge acordial applause.

When the carriage containing Gov.Roosevelt drove up to the Ryan hotel itpassed the entire line of the RooseveltRough Riders.

The governor returned the salute andthen, leaving the carriage, made his wayalone to Lieut. Bookstaver, and requestedhim to call the officers together.

THANKED THE OFFICERS.When they had assembled, Col. Roose-

velt said:"I desire to express my appreciation to

you, and through you to the membersof the club, for this greeting, and tocompliment you upon the splendid ap-pearance you have made. The RoughRider uniform appeals to me for wjiat itsignifies, and' you have imitated it exact-ly, even to the bandanna handkerchiefon the hat. The Rough Riders camefrom every walk of life, and they were astraight lot of men, and they were rep-resentative of 'do something.' Theywanted to make things move. They weremen of action."

After a brief rest at the Ryan Gov.Roosevelt was driven to the Minnesotaclub, escorted by mounted police, wherehe was the guest of Joseph A. Wheelock.The procession was Informal, but, occur-ring during a busy portion of the day,quite a -crowd gathered to catch aglimpse of the Rough Riders' colonel.

Gov. Roosevelt was greeted in an In.formal way by a number of St. Paul peo-ple who had previously made his ac-quaintance.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.It was not long after 10:30 when Gov.

Roosevelt made his appearance at theAuditorium, in company with membersof the reception committee. After mak-ing a brief speech, told of in anothercolumn of the Globe, he immediately

AT THE HVA.V

There Were Pully 1,500 at the Aft-ernoon U« oepiion.

There's nothing perfunctory about CoLRoosevelt's handshake. He just takeshold of your hand-not like a pump-handle, cither-gives it a hearty grip thatmakes you feel good all over, looksstraight at you with a smile on his clever,ugly face, and when you pass on youdon't feel like one of a row of pins, butlike an important individual."

She was blond and Gibsonesque andtriumphant. She had stood the Jam onthe stairs yesterday that carried the bigcrowd up to the parlor floor of the Ryan,where Gov. RooseVlt was holding his re-ception. She had stoically borne be-ing carried almost bodily by that samepushing, struggling crowd across th«hall and into the first parlor that was asort of ante-room to the Becond parlor,where the receiving party stood. Andshe had her reward, for the swift littleglance into the mirror that she wag ableto give in that same anterrtom assured

\u25a0her that, in spite of the scuffle, her backhair was still up and her front locks di-vinely curled. So she shook the famous"Teddy's" hand, gave him a quick butcomprehensive and whollyfenvnlne glanceof Inspection, and was able f/, comparenotes Berenely with the friend that shemet outside.

For perhaps two hours and a half yes-terday. Col. Roosevelt smiled that cordialsmile of his and gave all sorts and con-dltons of men and wom<»n that heartyhandclasp that is as peculiar to the SanJuan hero as are his badly worn clothes,his quick, near-sighted glance or hisjerky , ungraceful movements. And toeverybody who shook hands with himyesterday ho murmured a pleasant, "Ithank you." He might have meant it atfirst, but toward the end of the receptionit seemed most delicate irony.

The parlors where the reception washeld yesterday were decorated with cutflowers and palm?. At the entrance tothe reception room a band was stationedand played throughout the receivinghours. Standing with Col. Rooseveltwere Senator Cushman K. Davis, Sen-ator Nelson, Col. Stone, president of theNatonal Republican league, and a com-mittee of men from the Commercial club.After greeting Gov.
