AH CHAOS IN PEKIN Reports Reach London That Great Fire Rages In Imperial City, GRAVE DISSENSIONS AMONG ALLIES Chaffee Declines to Take Further PWt ta Attack on Palace or Vanishing bf Chinese. Advices of Thursday from London state that fires, fighting and dissension are apparently following in the Wake of the relief of Pekin. The Laa'don Daily Mail publishes dispatches from the Chinese capital, dated &s lata as August Ifth, declaring that * grVal fire was then ragibij tti tne imperial city.

General ChafeS, so it is asserted, maintftiaVu. that the Chinese had been adequately punished already and that it would be unwise to take the imperial palace. This explains the withdrawal of the Americans after breaking three gates, as cabled by the special correspondent of the Associated Press.

Soldiers Now On tke Sen For China Will Be Sent to Manila. The important development in the Chinese situation at Washington, Thursday, was the decision of the government not to send any more troops to China. All the troops now at sea, amcanting to about 4,000, together with those under orders for service" in the far east which have not sailed, amounting to about 3,000 more, will be sent to Manila. These troops will sail on the same route, and upon touching at Nagasaki will go 011 to Manila unless there are developments in China, not now expected, which would make their presence in that country necessary. Secretary Root said that no more troops were being sent to China beoause they were not needed.

Bryan's Speech of Acceptance Was Along the Line of That Made at Indiana^otii; At Topeka, Kan., Thursday William Jennings Bryan received the secohd official notificatidfi o? his nomination for tli'e presidency. This notification came from the Populist party through Thomas M. Patterson,t of Colorado. He'was at the same time informed by A. W. Backer of the indorsement of his candidacy by the United States Monetary League. The ceremonieft took place in the state cftpitol grounds and wefe witnessed by a large audiehbe. In to&nf respebts tli'e fceelihg p&rallel'ed the Indianapolis notification. This was true in the fact that both were held in parks; in that the weather was intensely hot and in that.the impatience ofthecrowd 'compelled speakers preceding Mr. Bryan to curtail their remarks, and the entire ceremonies ended in about au hour and a half. Rain had been threatened early in the day, but before the meeting was called to order at3:3U o'cioca, an lears of a storm had vanished. Many of the auditors found their way to the vicinity of the stand an hour or more before the speaking begftn, ftnd faliantiy held iiibir grbttiid, despite thh intense heat. State Chairhian Kidgel-^, of the Populist phrty, introduced J as. A. Troutman, 4who iiiade a brief speech welcoming Mr. Bryan to the city. Mr. Troutman formerly was lientenant governor of the state, and is Republican in politics. His speech was personally complimentary to Mr. Bryan. Mr. Troutman was followed by Frank Doster, chief justice of the state, who extended the welcome of the state at large. He had prepared a speech, bat he delivered only a small part of it because of the heat aud the evident desire to hear Mr. Bryan. Mr. DoBter was followed by jerry Simpson, Who was introduced as the permanent chairman in the absence of National Chairman Sutler. Mr. Simp*son made a brief speech coauratnlat* ing Topeka upon being selected as a place for the notification of Mr. Bryan by a great party at its candidate for the presidency. He compared Mr. Bryan with Lincoln and' predicted that he would lead the people back to the landmark of human liberty which Lincoln had so materially assisted in establishing. "Let ns trust," he said, "that Nebraska and Kansas, standing 'side by side as in I860, will again give tbeir snppbrt to a candidate who has, as the candidate of that time, had but Oqe code of morals which embraces, as did Lincoln's all men of all times, Regardless of color or environment,*' Mr. Simpson introduced Mr. Patterson, who, as chairman of the national Populist convention, became chairman of the notification committee. Mr. Patterson was received with applause and many of his points *erfe loudly cheered,, btit, like Judge DoBter, be materially reduced the Igtogth of his speech because of the heat and of the impatience of the audience. Judge A. W. Rucker, who conveyed to Air. Bryan the information of his indorsement by the United States Monetary League, had also to yield to the demands for a curtailment of his speech. When Mr. Rucker took his seat, Mr. Simpson lost no time in introducing Mr. Bryan, who was received with a burst of applause. Mr. Bryan read the greater part of his address from manuscript and the delivery consumed about forty minutes, but the crowd listened intently throughout and without any manifestation of impatience or disapproval. When he ceased speaking those present were invited to shake hands with him, and many availed themselves of this opportunity COULDN'T HAPPEN IN BOSTON. Miss Jewett Comments on the Sentiment That Caused the Akron Riot. Jjillian Clayton Jewett, president of the Jewett Anti-Lynching League, comments thus: "Sentiment against the negro seems to be growing in the north. For inI stance, take the terrible actions of the New York police, when they so brutally handled the negroes with whom they came in contact during their recent riot. New York has a great deal to answer for. I think it would be almost impossible for such riots as have occurred in Akron and New York to occur here in Boston." HILL GOES WEST.
