WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--The state and
navy departments are apprehensive
that the situation in China is very
grave, and have determined to mobilize
the entire Asiatic squadron at some
point near Tein-Tsin, in order that
marines may be landed to afford pro-
lection to American lives and interests
near the points,of the threatened out
breaks. Orders were issued Sunday to
Admiral Carpenter, commanding the
station, to gather his fleet at Tasu, and
there land marines to guard the lega-
tion at Pel1in and consulates at Tein-
Tsin and other cities. where a large
number of Americans reside.
Admiral Carpenters delay in pro-
ceeding to Chinese waters was due to
the failure of cablegram to reach
him sent the middle of last week. This
message was sent under the belief that
the Baltimore. his flagship, was at
Shanghai, but Sunday it was returned
as undelivered. The Baltimore. it seems,
left the day before the message was sent
and Saturday reached Nagasaki. where
a second message was waiting instruct
ing Admiral Carpenter to lose no time
in getting as near Peltin as possible.
The admiral has replied that the Balti-
more will leave Sunday afternoon for
Taku, the nearest point to Pekin that
she can proceed, and that orders have
been sent the Charleston, Concord and
Petrol to join the flagship there for CO.
operat ton in the landing of marines.
Pekin will receive detachment of
probably $50 or 200 marines, which will
be marched distance of seventy miles
to the American legation, and there
wait orders from Minister DENLY.
Tein-Tsin will also be guarded by de-
tachment of sailors and what marines
are left from the fleet
The distance from Nagasaki, where
the Baltimore received the last cable
gram from Secretary Herbert, to TalSu
is about seven hundred miles, and un-
der fast steaming should be reached
early Tuesday. The seventy miles
from there to PelSin can be covered,
it is believed, in about four days
more, SO that the legation should re-
| ceive strong detachment, adequate
for any ordinary protection, by the
end of this week.
There is good deal of alarm felt in
naval circles here for the safety of the
marines on the march to Pekin. The
country through which they will have
- pass is said to be populated by bands
If marauders and desperate Chinese,
who would not hesitate to attack the
l'altimore's men, if an uprising has
tccurred, which many of the officials
ere apprehensive of, considering the
charming nature of the request by Mr..
DENLY for immediate assistance. Two
hundred marines would be able to cope
with thousand Chinese, naval officers
assert; but the chief danger lies in the
fact that when Pekin is once reached
all source of supplies will be cut off.

AIabama's Dual Government.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 3.-In spite
of her dual government Alabama has
enjoyed peaceful and quiet Sunday
as any state in the union. Most of the
visitors, including the 2e companies of
state troops, left the city soon after
midnight Saturday night. The en-
thusiastic politicians, exhausted with
the excitement and anxiety Of Satur-
day, rested at their homes Sunday.
Neither Gov. Oates nor Capt. Kolb
have been seen on the streets. The
council of the populist leaders called
for Saturday afternoon was not held.
1t has developed that there is split, .
decided split, in the populist ranks.

Startling Maritime Facts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The annual
-eport of Commissioner of Navigation
Chamberlain is mainly an argument
for free ships. based on maritime facts
of the United States and other nations.
Only six American steamships, in
cluling the New York and Paris,
crossed the Atlantic and only seven
on the Pacific last year, while from
New York and Philadelphia alone
thirty-eight steamships, mainly new
steel vessels, owned by Americans.
crossed regularly to Europe under for
eign flags. America is century in adj
vance of the law, for Americans own
more steamships than foreign trade
own. The admission of such vessels to
American registry is desirable to en-
han"c our maritime rank.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The annual re-

says that in the larger post offices the
law is better observed than it has ever
been, and the post Office at Baltimore
is mentioned as one in which a marked
improvement is shown, affording
an instance of the good done by
the commission investigations. The
Indianapolis office is spoken of as
one which was very bad from a
civil service point of view, and which
has now become good Office under
the late and the present postmasters.
Boston and Chicago are said to be

In the railway mail service the law

They Are Rapidly Passing From the Arena

| of National Politics.
The men who enjoyed prominence in
the military and civil service Of the
confederacy are rapidly passing from
the arena Of national politics. Below is
a record of such as are still in active
life in Washington:
| The senior United States senator from
Alabama, John T. Morgan, was briga-
der general in the Confederate army,
and her other senator, James L. Pugh,
was member Of the Confederate con.
gress. Hon. Joseph Wheeler, who at
tanned the rank of lieutenant general in
the Confederate service, has for 10 years
been there preventative in congress from
the Eighth Alabama district.
The senior senator from Georgia, John
| B. Gordon, was likewise lieutenant
general in the army of the confederacy:
The Hon. Edward G. Walthau of Mis-
sisippi, major general in the Confed.
crate service, and of late the Junior
United States senator from his native
state, while not in active politics, hav-
ing resigned for the balance of his pres
ent term in the upper house, has been
elected for and is confidently expected
to take his seat in that honorable body
in March, 1896.
The senior United States senator from
Missouri, Francis NJ. Cockrell, was a
brigadier general in the Confederate
army, and the other senator from that
commonwealth, George G. Vest, held
positions in both houses of the Confed-
crate congress.
The present senior United States SEN
ators from both North and South Caro-
lima, Matt W. Ransom and M. G. But
Ter, were major generals in the Confed-
crate service.
The representatives from Tennessee
in the upper house of congress are Isham
g. Haxris, the senior, and William B.
Bate, who is tho junior senator from
that commonwealth. The first men,
toned was war governor Of his native
state, and the last named was major
general in the Confederate army:
And, lastly, Eppa Hunton, who saw
service as brigadier general in the
Confederate army, at present occupies
the position of Junior senator from Vir-
ginia in the congress of the United
States
Thus do we perceive that Of the multi
tude Of those who distinguished them
selves in the military and civil annals
Of the eonfederacy only 10 remain in
national halls UNFOLDING in the present,
as they strove to do in the past, the
rights and interest of the section of
which they are the honored representa-
tives.-Augusta Chronicle.
