Inc chinese Government Is Now
Very Penitent.
LONDON, Sept. 25.-FOlloWing is a
summary of the official cablegram re-
ceived from Pekin Monday and handed
to the foreign Office Tuesday. Specific
sums of money are offered to the treaty
powers to compensate for the loss of
life and property at WI HUI, WI Sus.
Tan Yang, Woo Seth and other places
where the riots occurred Four leaders
of the riots have been executed and
twenty-One banished, and five man
darins have been adjudged culpably re-
miss in having failed to deal effectively
with the rioters and to take adequate
measures to preserve order. They have
been reported to the throne for punish
ment.
The imperial government, rec0gniz-
ing its entire responsibility for the
preservation of order at the treaty ports,
and for the protection of missionaries
in the interior, has ordered the vicerOys
of Chilli and Marking to dispatch the
northern and southern SquadrOnS of the
Chinese fleet to patrol the Yang Use
and afford protection wherever the life
and property of Europeans are still APP
parently threatened. Although the ru-
morS of further troubles still excite UNI
easinesS in certain places, the imperial
government has no doubt of its ability
to cope effectively with any attempts at
fresh breaches of the peace, whether
from the operations of secret societies
or the result of local or accidental cir

FEMALE SENATOR'S

1t is one of the novelties of the times
that lessons in political and social wis
dom should come from quarter of the
world that was understood to be settled
largely be by those constrained to leave
their country for its good. Australia
has been furnishing the older commu-
mites samples of political methods and
ethics that prove to be marked improve
mentS on those in use. New Zealand
is now meditating a new departure in
matter that should fire the enthusiasm
of the class that is so eager for the po-
litical activity and equality of women
with men. The scheme is way tout
of sight, of ANYTHING that has
been meditated or suggested in this
country. New Zealand has two branches
of its legislative economy, as is com
mon. The upper one is composed of
men appointed by the crown for life.
The change being formulated, and
which is to be presented for action, is to
abolish this body and put in its place
one elected by the people composed en-
tirely of women. This movement comes
from high and influential source, but
there is no information as to its pros
poets for success. The fact that so
many reforms in government and new
departures in public administration
have come from that most remote part
of the world affords some presumption
that this may be numbered among them.
There are no indications that 1t is
specially pressed by women. The
general veal is sought, rather than
the promotion of the interest of
part. But there are alluring features
to movement of this kind. 1t is some
thing like the conversion of the state
senate into female body, as a local
Illustration. Had this been the fact the
past winter, will any one dare assert
that less useful legislation would have
been effected? Would that body have
lost any of its picturesque and alluring
features? Its galleries and portals were
thronged, it is true: there were euriosi-
ties and oratorical Judys on exhibition,
and no great complaint has been made
that il fell short of general expectations
in any notable features. Still. it would
be a transformation not to be turned
hastily from to have it more strictly
an embodiment of the New Zealand
idea. None will Insist that the volume
or graces of speech would have been
unfavorably affected. Then,o on more
conspicuous arena. the conversion of
the United States senate into more
distinctly and palpably feminine body
would be interesting and picturesque.
If ii is shown by experiment that this is
as genuine reform as the others that

Promises From Pekin Held at a
Discount.

Discount.
LONDON, Sept. 25.-The communica-
ton from the Pekin government, offer
ing compensation 10 foreigners who
have suffered in the recent riots in
China, with the strongest assurances of
future protection. are received with dis
trust in the foreign Office here. HSu
Ching Chang, the Chinese ambassador
to the European courts, has recently
been in st. Petersburg, where he sue
ceeded in inducing the Russian govern
ment to withdraw from the joint action
projected by the powers. He arrived in
Berlin to- day with the view of trying to
influence Chancellor Won Caprivi, but it
is certain that he will not alter the de-
termination of the German government
to cooperate with the British i'll taking
decisive measures.
The Pekin note as given to the papers
fails to Indicate the real character of
the appeal made by HSu Ching Chang
to the European governments. He has
urged that the imperial government
was entirely honest in desiring to sup
press the disorders and seeking time to
deal with the anti-foreign movement,
and that precipitate action on the part
of the powers would defeat their Oh
ject and bring China into anarchy.
His communications distinctly suggest
the probability of such a potent
political upheaval in China as
might overthrow the Manchu dynasty.
The panicky feeling existing in Pekin
is made known here by urgent tele-
grams sent through the Chinese en-
baSSy, imploring Lord Salisbury to in
struct Sir John Walsham, the British
minister to China, to adopt more
friendly attitude.
Minister Walsham advises the foreign
office that persistent diplomatic pressure
combined with naval demonStra-
tiou at certain of the treaty
ports will be the only effective
means to prevent recurrent out
RACES. He complains that the promul-
CATION or the emperor's edIct against
attacks on foreigners has been unneceS-
Sarily delayed. He asked the officials
| to use the telegraph in publishing the
edict, but the officials refused. saying
that there was no precedent for doing
so and that the ediet must be distributed
by the ordinary couriers. The minister
| also complains of the uncertainty
of the punishment of the real
| leaders of the outrages. If Lord
| Salisbury supports Minister Walsham's
| policy the powers will actively inter
vene in order to protect Europeans,
leaving the Tartar dynasty to take care
of itself. In spite of the chaotic state
| of the present troubles. the foreign Of
fee here hopes that the ultimate result
will be an extension of trade to impor-
tant centerS on the Yang Use Kiang,
which are now closed, but where the

The Times Paris correspondent says:
| 1t has become known here that the gov
errors of the Chinese provinces IN
which the riots occurred, have distinctly
declined to be held responsible there
| for, and have declared it impossible to
pay indemnity. The inference to be
drawn is that China's circular to the
powers aims simply at delay in order to
shirk indemnity and, therefore, not be
held to account by Europe.

POLITICAL FICTION.

An Ohio dealer in cutlery is so in
tense a partisan of MCKINLEY and his
bill that in a recent advertisement in
the Century magazine he made the sur
prising statement that the MCKINLEY
act ''has advanced the wages of every
cutler in the United States. while the
retail price of knives has not advanced
per cent, except with those who i'm
pose OH their customers" He also as
serted that ''wages are IS per cent of
the cost, so MCKINLEY seems to. have
been working for labor, not for the man
ufacturer." A New York party famil-
lar with that branch of trade addressed
a letter to the Ohio man challenging all
of these statements and furnishing evil
dence of the untruth of some of them.
Data were adduced showing a genera
reduction of wages in place of an adj

1t sounds some like a fairy tale, but

Our attention was called to this in st.

inquiry of our own local dealers, we
find that the price has been raised all
over the country. The Mckinley bill
raised the tariff and the American man
ufacturerS raised the prices. There is
no record, however, of the manufact-
urer raising the wages of his workmen.

The Mckinley tariff was not made to
lower prices; it was made to raise them.
Such was the announcement of its au-
thor; such was the admission of Presi-
dent Harrison when he tried to per-
suade the people that cheapness of arti-
cles in the market was not good thing
for them. The Mckinley tariff must
either raise prices or it must create
trusts. One or the other action is a
necessity under it, as Its authors we'll
know. The great point gained by It
here in the interests of monopoly is that
by increasing duties it shuts out that
foreign competition which before pre-
vented trusts being formed. 1t is an
act pernicious to the people, and most
of all pernieious in the unhealthy slim
illus 1t may give manufacturing, only 10
end in the creation of trusts.
