THE DEBT or CITIES.

AS result of It's investigation of
the question or debts OF the cities Of
the United States, the Pittsburg Post
finds the total to be something like
$500, 900, I'm Increase of SEQ, 900, 900
since 1890, and Of ,Sl16,QO0,O0O Knee
1850. These are large sums OF money,
ana Of all the cities whose debts were
inquired into there is possibly not one
which could not reduce its debt by
economy in its affairs If strenuous
efforts were made in that direction.
The question of just how to reduce the
expenses of city or state is admitted
ly difficult one, but still il can be
done, and should be done wherever it
Is possible. There are few cities in the
Union where debts could not be re-
duced, and yet how to successfully do
50 is problem. In this connection 1t
is worthy Of note that while the ag-
gregatc debt of American cities is as
large ms here shown. that of the cities
of the United Kingdom is much
greater. The debt Of the cities Of that
country in 1899 is given by the Finan-
c!al Reform Almanac at 81 025. 600 900
From 1915 to 1892 the increase has been
sos, 100000. The city population of the
United States Is about equal to that
of the United Kingdom. Our cities in
seventeen years have added SIG, O0O 900
TO their debt. English cities have
added $5G500O, 900. French cities, with
".OO0,000 less population than ours,
carry n debt OF 500, 1000 relatively n
heavier burden than our own city debt.
All OF which goes to show that we are,
disp!te our large debt, better off than
our friends across the Atlantic

CHANGE OF BASE.
British Policy of Chinese En-.
pire's Integrity Abandoned.
Concessions to Russia and Germany Re-
sponsible for This Move-No Equal
Commercial Status of All Nations.

London, March 2S.-A statement has
been observed in competent quarter
respecting British intentions in China,
in view Of the naval movements in the
far east. 1t is admitted that the Brit
ish policy Of maintaining the integrity
Of China and the equal commercial sta
tus of all nations, has been abandoned,
owing to the concessions made to Rus
sia and Germany.
1t is added: "The only course left
Great Britain is to follow suit, obtain
equal advantages with the other pow
ers and secure adequate compensation
in her own interest. This explains the
British naval activity at Hong Kong
and elsewhere. Therefore, a movement
upon the part of Great Britain may be
anticipated in the near future.
1T is deemed improbable that Japan,
single-handed, or still less in conjunc-
tion with China, will combat the policy
of the European powers. She will prob
ably rest content with a compromise
satisfactory to her pride, ara securing
position due her, as the fruit Of her
victories over China"

that the regatta should be a part of the

propriate at least $500. The prospects for
the regatta are bright, and with hustling

THE PRESIDENTS uxqSlc

The presidents action in regard TO the
Maine inquiry boards report has been
so accurately forecast in the news dis
patches, that there was little material
for sensation when the report was sub
mitted to congress, Monday. The brief
message which accompanied 1t summar-
lied the results Of the inquiry, and an
nounced that the findings "and the views
OF this government have been communi-
Gated to the government of her majesty.
the queen regent" The president adds:
Il do not permit myself to doubt that
the sense of justice of the Spanish ma
tlon Will dictate the course Of action
suggested by honor and the friendly re-
lations of the two governments" This
is about as non-committal as could he
There is no hint of any limit of time
within which Spain must make reply.
and there is no allusion to the yol1nin-
Gus testimony given before the court of
inquiry, or to possible differences to be
drawn from it. 1t does appear, how
ever that the statements and conclu-
sions of the naval court are straight

president. Each day, however, threat
ems to bring on crisis, and an outbreak
in one house or the other is to be avoid
ed if possible. The next move may or
may not be Spain's. 1t remains to be
seen what that move will be; also
whether the temper of congress is to be
tried by Spanish procrastination and
temporizing, and how patiently the
strain will be endured. The president
is said to cling to the belief that the
entire Spanish question (Which includes
the Cuban can be settled without re-
sort to force, and, If SO, he, of course,
has his reasons. The rumor of a lib
eral concession of autonomy, to be
guaranteed by the United States. is
quite as credible as others, and the
suggestion that this is but a stepping
stone to final backdown and the grant
ing Of independence is believed by some.
Such an opinion does not square we'll
with other facts and the public will be
slow to accept 1t. Congress does not
seem to be in a mood to wait long for
Spain to decide. but the people as a
whole have still to keep cool. await de-
velopments in Washington, and support
the president. After ALL the most vital
part of the boards report is the testi-
mony of the witnesses examined, and
this will be read with eager interest. 1t

But the extreme of defiance and brava-

Gov. Hogg of Texas, who is said to
have done more for the Lone Star state
than any other executive save Sam
Houston, the founder. In order to de-

spice, when a boy was announced of the
