China as EneIaud's Bulwark.

The future of the Korean penin-
sula is a matter of deep concern to
Great Britain, and any develope-
ment of events which would mate
rally alter the status quo might
easily involve her in a quarrel with
Russia. Finally, there is the pos
sibility of Chinese defeat to be
faced. This would be grave
matter for Us. A strong China is
one of our chief bulwarks against
Russian aggression on the North
and French pretentious on the
East. The disappearance of this
bulwark, or its reduction to a neg
ligeable quantity, would seriously
change our position in India and
our hold on our Eastern dependen-

The Strikers,

Governor Mckinley, Of Ohio, yester-
day evening ordered twelve hundred
State troops to the mining districts in
Belmont and Guernsey counties, where
the miners were rioting.

but expressed their Witness to give up
to the State troops, which Governor
Waite ordered to the scene. A large
force of deputy shelif1s advanc, d on the

The miners strike in Alabama is be-
lieved to be practically broken. The
output of coal on Tuesday was 10000
tons, about one-third of the normal out
put at this season.
Thirty men were injured during the
rioting at the National Tube Works, at
McKeesport, Pa, on Tuesday The
company has closed down the works
entirely. At 2:30 o'clock yesterday
about six thousand strikers, carrying
pit-lamrs, left there for Duquesne. They
threatened to cut all barges loose they
met on the river as they marched down.
When the men reached Duquesne they
attacked the Duquesne Tube Works,
drove all the men at work out of the
plant, drew the fires and ran the hot
metal from the furnaces out on the
floors. The reasons the strikers give
for their action were that the works
were using black sheep coal. The as
sault was witnessed by thousands who
thronged the SUBMITS of the surround
ing hills. As the strikers left the mill
one of the men threw plank in front
of an approaching freight train, nearly
derailing it. They left the mill on
run and started back over the hills to
attack the coal pits in Mlllin township.
The two regiments of Maryland State
troops have taken possession ofthe field
in and around Frostburg, so as to sup
port the civil authorities in keeping or
der in the coalmining regions. The
house of an Eckhart miner who would
not suspend work was shattered by
dynamite. Much abuse was heaped on
the soldiers by the crowds, and pla-
toon was detailed to clear the streets.
No violence was attempted and the
presence of so many men under arms
and the business way in which the mill
tary dispositions were made had
ouieting effect.

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, June I.
SENATE.

SENATE.
Mr.. Hoar offered resolution direct
ing the judiciary committee to inquire
into the justice and equity of the claim
of the United States against the estate
of the late Leland Stanford and TO re-
port. as soon as may be, whether it is
expedient that such claims shall be
forthwith relinquished and put at rest.
1t seemed to him, Mr.. Hoar said
that the government ought at once to
consider the question of absolutely re-
linquishing and putting the claim at
rest. He did not suppose that any
body had ever seriously imagined that
Mr.. Stanford's estate was liable for the
debt of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company to the government. But
whether there was technical claim, or
whether there was claim founded in
law and equity, Mr.. Stanford's great es-
tate had been devoted to a public pur-
pose. II was one of the most illustri-
Gus examples of public benefaction. He
had met their late esteemed colleague
in the south of France the year before
last-a few months before his death,
and when the disease which terminated
his life was already becoming master
and Mr.. Stanford had then expressed
his feeling in relation to the great prop
ertv which he had accumulated and de-
clared, in his simple fashion, his simple
religious faith. He said that he did not
clre much for the creeds of the churches;
but that of one thing he was certain
that the Creator OF the universe was
benevolent and benefcent and had de-
signed all his creatures for happiness.
He said that he believed that with the
great resources Of this country every
American citizen ought to have, with
out severe and degrading labor, the
necessaries and comforts of life and
that his children ought to receive
good education at the public charge.
Mr.. Stanford had spoken of the devo-
ton of his property to that great end
and had expressed the hope that every
child on the Pacific coast, of the poor
est as we'll as of the richest, should re-
ceive a good education. Now whether
the government had claim against
that estate or not, it was certain that it
would take u or 10 years to have it

AS THE imposition of tax to pro-

al, the bill to repeal the tax on State
banks should certainly have been
passed by the U. S. House of Represen-
tatives yesterday. But there is neither
sense nor use in the strict observance Of
one provision OF the Constitution, while
ignoring or setting the others at open
defiance. And, besides, as the national
banks are the safest repositories, and as
their circulation is secured by the gov
eminent, it is probably just as we'll that
the bill failed, though its repeal was
promised by the platform on which Mr..
