Preparing Headquarters for 10000
Troops-it In Reported England
and Japan Have Reached n
Complete Understanding.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The country's
attitude towards what appears to be an
effort by the powers of Europe to dis
member China was the principal topic OF
discussion at today's meeting Of the
cabinet.
All Of the cabinet members were pres
ent except Secretary Alger, who is Ill at
taken in advance of specific information
as to the intention of the powers Of
Europe it was determined, as a member
of the cabinet expressed 1t, ito keep q
watchful eye upon the situation as 1t
developed in order that full protection
may be given to the interests of the
United States in China as guaranteed by
our treaties with that country" No
disposition was manifested to participate
in an extension of the treaty at the ex-
pense of China. Such disposition
would be contrary to the hitherto ex-
pressed and well understood policy of
this government, and is not contemplated
by the administration. 1t was deter
mined, however, to protect carefully all
interests and privileges which the United
States now enjoys in China. incidentally
the question Ct American relief to suffer
ers in Cuba arose, but in the absence of
official information from the Spanish
government which had been expected but
had not been received, no action of i'm
portance was taken.
A part of the time of the meeting was
consumed in an exchange of Christmas
greetings. No presents were given or re-
ceived among the members of the
cabinet.
The cabinet understanding as to the
attitude of the United States in the
Chinese question promises to have ma
terial influence on the development of
the eastern situation. The diplomats
stationed here have eagerly awaited some
intimation as to the purpose Of this gov
eminent and the foreign press, notably
at London, Berlin and Vienna, have
echoed the sentiments ut those courts that
If the United States entered the field,
either singly or in coalition with Great
Britain and Japan, it would prove a
material fnctor in the Chinese question.
The general understanding reached today
will not be known until the information
reaches the foreign Office at London, Ber-
lin, st. Petersburg and elsewhere.
The views expressed Mt the cabinet
meeting put an end to any possibility of
an Anglo-American-Ja Japanese alliance.
such as the foreign cables have suggested.

Philadelphia, Dec. 24.-The bank OK.
amlner and his assistants were busiv
engaged today in going over the books
ana accounts of the Chestnut Street
National bank. The examiner declines
10 make any statement regarding the as
s ana liabilities of the institution, but
he will furnish complete statement

Following the meeting of the directors
or the trust company there was a con-
terence of the officials of the banks, at
which was discussed a plan to raise suffi-
clent funds to liquidate all the claims
against the bank. President Singerly
says he is confident that some plan can
be contaminated by which all the cred
ltors, of the bank will be paid in full and
the bank permitted to 20 into voluntary
bankruptcy. The trust company has
32OO deposit accounts, and the bank
about 1900 deposit accounts.

tive to the Catholic schools and points
out the rights of Catholics according to
the federal agreement.
The pope condemns a school system
based on religious neutrality, praises the
zeal the bishops have displayed on the
question, regrets that the Catholics are
not equally united owing to the political
passions, and admits that the authori-
ties have done something to. diminish
the Inconvenience of Manitoba school
legislation. But his holiness declares
that this is inadequate and urges Catho-
lies to persist in claiming all their rights
though they must not refuse any partial
reparations obtainable, with the view to
reduce the perils of the education Of the
youth. The encyclical says that In the
event of these being unobjectionable.
Catholics should provide their own
of their bishops a program of study con
sistent with their religion and all liter
airy and scientific progress.
