and in every way take its place in line
of progress with other civilized nations
and contribute it's share to the products
of the markets of the world. This is an
unprecedented condition of affairs and one
on larger scale than has ever yet been
handled by international comfy. 1t Is
problem much more difficult to settle
than ever confronted Rome or Napoleon
Bonaparte in the great conquests OF an
cient and modern nations, as illustrated
by these two marked and exceptional
victors. China must have sell
government, but it must be on line con-
trary to all the traditions of that part
of the Orient and totally at war with
Monaghan effeminacy. 1t must have en-
grated on its old trunk the vigorous
limbs of modern thought and modern
ways, and yet its autonomy must be pre-
served.
The question then becomes important
whether or not there is a disinterested-
ness, a total absence of self-aggrandize-
ment in European politics that can ac-
complish these desirable results for
China and for the world generally. 1t
is really an epoch in the history of the
world that will sorely try the measure
of progress at which other nations have
attained. Can the question be settled
for the good of the Chinese unselhshly
by the European powers, or If 1t cannot,
then what becomes our duty in the prem
Uses? Can the nations of Europe in In
congress assembled so adj
Just the affairs of China without sin
gle change of its boundary line, without
an advantage Of one power over another,
but for the general good? If they cannot,
and we are called upon to interpose, as
we are wholly disinterested, considering
our traditional policy of avoiding entan-
Cling alliances with foreign nations, and
also considering the unprecedented con-
lition of affairs that call for our interpo-
sition, what will be our duty? Clearly
civilization would demand some action on
our part. We cannot wrap mantle OF
exclusiveness around our Western re-
public and say we have nothing to do with
a matter in which all civilization is in
terested. We will be compelled to act
and God grant that we may act in such
I way as to rebound to the good of our
Kind throughout christendOm, and to
he honor and glory of this great republic.

Senator Sherman says that the Nc
Kinley bill is defective and that it sacri-
feed too much revenueby adding too large
ly to the free list. 1t is not proposed by
the Republican leaders to attempt to re-
enact the Mckinley bill The fact is
the present bill will become so popular
that the Republicans will not dare to pro-
pose its repeal, just as the Walker tariff
was when the Republicans first came
into power. They never proposed to
change the Walker bill until the war de-
manded larger revenues.

LITIGATION. 1t is said that the teeth of the
corpse had several striking peculiarities,
which Mrs. Pitzel should readily recog-

and some overlap each other. DR.. Mat
tern is of the opinion that Mrs. Pitzen
ought to be able to identify the body by the
teeth.
Holmes and Mrs. Pitzel were removed

Holmes tonight retracted many of the
statements said to have been made by him
| to a detective while coming to this city
| from Boston. He declared that both the
Williams girls were alive and that Anna
was recently paid $1,000 by Pitzel in New
York city. The story of her murder and
numerous other crimes with which his
name was linked, he characterized as
rot" invented to throw the detectives
off the track.
There was new development today
when it was learned that the detectievs
are looking for an express man who had
been often seen with Pitzel and disap-
Ipeared about the time the body was found.
The theory is that either he had some
thing to do with hauling the body or that
he himself was murdered. Holmes law

MARKET FIRM, BUT QUIET.
Speculation Is Dull, Although
Prices Advance FractiOnally.

>. The Wall street markets were quiet
again this morning. While there were
no very wide fluctuations in prices there
is still evident an undertone of strength
and growing confidence on the part OF
the investing public.
IL this were not the case the market
would drop under all the talk about
the partial failure of the corn crop.
While this will be disastrous to certain
sections of the West, 1t is thought that
the losses will be outweighed by the
signs OF returning prosperity in the
South and elsewhere
Railroad earnings generally are i'm
proving and a heavy Fall and Winter
business is looked for. Hence, the in
oreasing demand for securities and the
stronger backing of the market by the
speculative contingent.
