The Anaconda Standard reported a larger paid daily and Sunday average circulation than all other Wyoming newspapers in Montana combined for the six months ending June 30, 1900, totaling 11,722 readers.
Reports from Washington indicate allied forces led by Britain the United States and Japan confront fierce resistance as they push from Tientsin toward Pekin. About twelve hundred killed and wounded on the allied side with Chinese losses uncertain. The march covers eighty miles with rapid but costly progress amid stiff resistance and mounting danger.
A reader notes the Shanghai response to the Li Hung Chang suicide report as a weak inferior product. The critique mocks the prior Pekin legation massacre tale for its melodrama and praises the earlier absurd Baron Munchausen style fiction. The piece contrasts vivid sensationalism with dull present‑day writing.
The former president dismisses reporters on the Chinese question and major issues, stating life is a long fishing trip. He doubts the U.S. will endure, laments leaky leadership, and predicts Bryan’s possible election while remaining detached from the world.
The piece notes William J. Bryan will announce his Democratic nomination in Indianapolis with a long acceptance speech of ten to twelve thousand words. It contrasts modern campaign norms with McKinley’s earlier notification and discusses how lengthy addresses are used to craft slogans and set the campaign tone.
The Standard argues Montana was infamously betrayed in the committee on resolutions at Kansas City as Clark promises to fund campaigns and seating of his delegation drew eastern criticism. The Helena Independent’s articles quote harsh editorials but Montana focuses on the betrayal over the Clark seat.
Hon. John Barrett seeks to explain after being quoted by Chairman Hanna about Thomas Reed promising to take the stamp for McKinley in Maine and possibly elsewhere.
A reporter questions Reed about planned speeches as he travels from New York to Boston. Barrett later retracts claims of Reed agreeing to speak for McKinley, saying Reed has not consented. Barrett had suggested he expected Reed to lend eloquence, while Reed denies knowing Barrett or the accusation.
The article questions whether McKinley truly desires a Supreme Court ruling on Puerto Rico's status. It argues his public claims may be for effect and that a decision could challenge his policy. It notes doubts within the Republican platform committee and criticizes his stance on Puerto Rico and the Philippines.
In a tense political climate a remark by Bresci is commended to the man who killed Goebel. Reports from China cite continued moves toward Pekin as casualties rise in the Peitsang area. Allied forces face ongoing resistance, with propaganda depicting rivals as a dragon and monkey.
In a pitched battle the little Japs are described as something great while the Pekin legationers ask the empress dowager to note they are not glorying in their staying qualities.
The wife of Thomas A. Edison Jr. elopes with a different man after marrying a Casino girl against parental advice. The report notes the father’s condition is not fatal and hints at broader political chatter about ministers in Pekin and Senator Hoar's limited campaign plans in Massachusetts.
Since China troubles began and regiments moved, recruiting has surged at army posts. Unmarried men find soldiering a strong option with a three year term, monthly pay of 13 dollars rising to 15.60 in war, one free ration daily, and low expenses. Promotions from the ranks to officers are common, with pensions after thirty years.
Leslie's Weekly argues missionaries are protected by treaty rights in China and should not be blamed for the Boxer troubles. It frames the unrest as foreign fear, praises reformers around the emperor, and urges Western nations to guard China’s emerging modernity and gospel-inspired progress.
A jumble of brief notes covers politics, labor, and society. General Chaffee moves toward a possible presidential run while anarchist actions in Patterson draw attention. Crop quality drops as cabbage is poor, cigar makers seek substitutes, and rapid transit in China remains lacking. European royal anxieties persist as tensions ease. Roosevelt angers some, Bryan heads to Washington, and Pekin to extend access for foreign tourists. Alabama Republicans and Populists join forces in a new maneuver.
Plans are under way for a giant 220 foot high dam across the South Platte canyon to form a reservoir for Denver's water supply. The project, costing 700,000, would span miles from the city, with a crest 100 feet above ground and a completion time of two to three years.
A mosaic of brief items notes theft of oatmeal in Oswego Kansas and a jailhouse hint, a Connecticut plumber’s near death in a cave in, a Babylon New York man losing a tooth to a horse, and Gladstone lineage at Hawarden Castle. Also mentions playrooms on the Deutschland liner, Washington police hunting profanity, a Rapid City wolf catcher with 332 pelts, Methodist fund goals, sugar trade decline, portable cavalry boats, and white schools in the South short of funding.
