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. Russian commander had
tfcfcflfaed to accept the decision of the
,other generals, not to violate the imperial
precinots and street fighting
was going on. ?
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.
The Kussian general) however, maintained
that his government) had declared
war against China) and thftt
therefore there wens fib tfS&'onh to prevent
him carrying hostilities into the
sacred ^reWhSte.
Jtyjtgmg from varions, and in many
cases contradictory, dispatches that
reached Europe Thursday morning
from Pekin, the commanded eventually
adopted a middle course, for a
Rente! telegram asserts that sentries
wtr$ "placed to prevent looting. Hence
it is presumed that the imperial buildings,
although captured, will not be
destroyed.
All the dispatches point to the fact
that, when the latest message received
in London left Pekin, the commanders
were somewhat at sea regarding
tbair future action, all awaiting instructions
from governments.
*'chaotic," bats c05tgeb.
The following was received Thtir'sday
at the state department rr'oiii Minister
Conger at Pekin:
PEktXj Aug. 19.?To the Secretary
of State, Washington: The entire oity
with the exception of the imperial
palace is occupied by Japanese, Russians,
British, Americans aod French.
It is peing apportioned into districts
for police supervision. The Chinese
army fled. The imperial family and
the court have gone westward, probably
to Si&n Fu, in the province of
Shen Si. No representatives of the
Chinese government are in sight ih
Pekin, and the conditions are Ohaotic.
The palace is expected to be taken
immediately. Many mission&riee have
started for home, while others remain
in charge of the Christian refugees,
numbering about 1,000. Conges.
NO MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
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. With the arrival at
Taku of the Hancock and the troops
she carried, General Chaffee will have
5,000 available men, which is thought
to be sufficient for all present purposes.

MONETARY LEAGUE ENDORSES
nr. 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

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."

SCENE OF DESOLATION.
Afierfiiath of Akron Riot Revealed
Evidetifce of Violence ihd Lawlessness
Vnparailefe<L
When day dawned in Aicroii;
Thursday morning it reveafed ? scene
of desolation and the evidence of violence
and lawlessness unparalleled in
the history of the city.
The rioters had done their awful
work and had dispersed. Two children
were lying cold in death and
nearly a score of people were suffering
from the wotlnds of pistol balls* buckshot
rind other ttiissile9.
The city buildiiig wits a hedp of
- ? > > ?.11 iL
smoldering rum?; ana oesiae 11
ed the water-soaked ashes of tlblfhhtiia
hall.
The police force of the city was disorganized
and scattered. The chief
was fleeing in desperation from the
scene of bloodshed, riot and b'tfmipg.
almost crazed by what his men had
done.
Live electric wires lay across the
streets in the vicinity of the burned
buildings and debris of all kinds was
scattered far and near.
The tnrbnlent element had slnnk
away with the coming of daylight and
order Was once more fully restored after
an awful night of terror and anarchy.
At 9:20 Thursday morning bine
companies of the Fotirth regiment arrived
in the city and marched to the
scene of the rioting.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Mayor W.
E. Yonng issued a proclamation closing
every saloon in Akron until further orders.
The mayor is taking every possible
precaution to prevent a renewal of
the outbreak.
In the Akron riot history again repeated
itself?the innocent ones were
those to suffer, while the guilty ones
were practically uninjured.
Of the victims of mob violence Glenn
Wade was shot and almost instantly
killed; He was in the mob and a bullet
from a revolver pierced his heart. The
lad was only eleven years of age.
- .1 rk
Another innocent is rtnoaa z^?tju8ou,
th$ four-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs; J. M. Davidson. Sitting in
a carriage with her mother and father,
on the outskirts of the mob, a ballet
foand lodgment in her skull.
The resistance shown by the police
officers and city offioials in the city
hill, only served to lash the atob into
greater frenzy.
