UNITED STATS AND CHINA
Situation Discussed At FUN Meet.
ing of Cabinet.

ing of Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, December 24.-This
country's attitude towards what ap-
pears, to be an effort on the part of the
powers of Europe to dismember China
was the principal topic of discussion
to-day at the meeting of the Cabinet.
All the members were present eX-
cept Secretary Alger, who is i'll at his
home. While no formal action was
taken, in the absence of specific infor-
nation as to the intention of the pow
ers of Europe, it was determined, as a
member of the Cabinet expressed it,
"to keep watchful eye upon the stu
alton as it develops, in order that full
protection may be given to the inter
ests of the United States in China,
as guaranteed by our treaties with
that country.
No disposition was manifested to
participate in an extension of territory
at the expense of China. Such a dis
position would be contrary to the hith-
erto expressed and MISUNDERSTOOD po-
Icy of this Government, and is not
contemplated by the Administration. It
was determined, however, to protect
carefully all interests and privileges
which the United States now enjoys in
China
The Cabinet understanding as to the
attitude of the United States in the
Chinese question promises to have a
material influence on the development
of the Eastern situation. The diplO-
mats stationed here have eagerly await
ed some intimatiOn as to the purposes
of this Government, and the foreign
press, notably the London, Berlin and
/ Vienna papers, have echoed the senti-
ments at those courts that if the Unit
/ ed States entered the field, either sing
| ly or in coalition with Great Britain
and Japan, it would prove a material
! factor in the Chinese question.
The general understanding reached
! to-day doubtless will be made known
/ to such foreign representatives as de-
! sire to sound this Government, and the
! information in turn will reach the for
! eign offices at London, Berlin, st. Pc
/ tersburg and elsewhere. The views eX-
! pressed at the Cabinet meeting put ar
end to any possibility of an Anglo
! japanese alliance, such az
! the foreign cables have suggested.

Ohm Woman Suffrage.

The Cleveland election commission
ers are going to ask the Ohio legisla-
ture to repal the law allowing women
to vote in school matters. The presi-
dent of the board says: cat first the
women took the matter as a fad, and
5000 or so registered. During the last
registration of four days only 50 wo-
men registered. That is simply ridicu-
lous. Although only 80 women can vote
