Were Lo»i Kansas City, July 3.—David B. Hill's mission to Lincoln has failed. He has heard Bryan's ultimatum, and bo agreement has been reached. Mr. Hill returned to Kansas City yesterday afternoon. A Pennsylvania delegation, headed by James Kerr, clerk of the house of representatives under Speaker Crisp for four years, and M. M. Dunlap, followed Mr. Hill in the pilgrimage to Lincoln. They also urged the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform and no specific declaration for free silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. It was argued that such a reaffirmation would not be a new feature in Democratic political conventions. "I am sure that Colorado people are no more anxious for the realization of the principles of the Democratic platform than are the people in many other states, but I want to say to you that when Colorado forsakes the principle of 10 to 1 and when the people have ceased in their support of that principle I will be found still fighting, even though alone. New York, July 3.—What was thought at first by Methodists to be impossible of accomplishment has been done. One-third of the $20,000,000 called for by the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church as a twentieth century thank offering has been collected. The Rev. Dr. Edmmid M. Mills, secretary of the commls«ofl appointed by the general conference to take charge of the collection, has anhouilced that only two-thirds of the total amount has yet to be subscribed. Ten million dollars will be spent on education in this country and in foreign lands. The remaining $10,000,000 will be used for the carrying on of charitable and philanthropic work, for city evangelization, for infested funds, for the support of conference claimants and for the payment of church property debts. The Ohio Wesleyan university subscribed $505,000 and the Syracuse University $250,000. Other colleges oncl seminaries have subscribed generously. Hobokan, N.

A particularly ominous feature of Admiral depressing message is the statement "provisions nearly exhausted." From the first the officials have feared that the ministers and their guards, augmented by the missionaries and foreign merchants and some of the native Christians in the capital, would be unable to obtain enough supplies for a long siege. Peking Cat Off Three Weeks. Almost tpree weeks have elapsed since Peking was cut off, and if repeated attacks have been made upon the legations it is evident that the guards' ammunition is also getting low, as reported in advices to Berlin. WhHe all of the detachments | took a C|auble allowance of ammunition to ' Peking, The hard fighting they have done must have resulted in the expenditure of much of it. The Chinese surrounding the legations have without doubt cut off the water supply. The bill of Attorney John T. Lenahan, for eervloee rendered the olty In connection with the Olty Hall lot Injunction oaee, had been objected to and came np for discussion. The bill amounts to $400. Two objections were made—first, that the bill was exeesslve; seoond, that no resolution employment of Mr. Lena ban was ever passed by the ootinoils and that, therefore, the bill cou!d not legally be paid. A motion to pay the bill and one to lay It on the table were made bnt were not pressed, and finally a resolution pre vailed to ask the Olty 8ollottor for an opinion as to the liability of the olty for the bill.
