President Mill Ash an Appropriation
to Prevent Discrimination by
European Nations 10 the
Uriental Partition,

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley is expected to re
new in his forthcoming message his
recommendation that an appropriation
be made for commission to investigate
the commercial and industrial condi-
ton OF the Chinese empire.
No radical change in the policy ot the
United States with respect to China is
contemplated by the president. 1t is
proposed to safeguard American inter-
ests ia every way. No discriminating
treatment of American citizens or
American trade will be permitted for
an instant, and undoubtedly the inaug-
uration Of the exclusion policy on the
part of the foreign governments pos
sessing spheres Of influence in China
will be bitterly opposed by this govern
ment However, such a contingency as
the latter Is not expected.
| 1t has been stated that the strong re-
enforcement Of Rear Admiral Watson's
command is with a view to making the
United States an important factor in
the Asiatic situation. An official with
whom talked today told me that the
vessels added to Watsons force were
assigned to it upon the express recon-
mendation Of Admiral Dewey for the
effect 1t would have on the insurrectlon
in the Philippines and has no reference
to China.
AS soon as the insurrecton is quelled
It is the intention Of the department,
unless future developments should
arise, to withdraw the larger ships,

The national government has taken
the initial step in the matter Of giving
to Wheeling the locks and dam that
are to be a part OF the general plan
Of slackwater for the upper Ohio be-
tween Pittsburgh and Marietta, as pro-
vided in the rivers and harbors bill Of
the present Congress.
Major W. H. Bixby, the engineer Of
flcer in charge of the improvements, has
advertised for bids from contractors for
putting down twenty-five test holes
just below Bellaire. in order to ascertain
how good foundation for the locks
and dam can be had in that vicinity.
He also asks for bids for putting down
forty such holes north Of the suspen-
sion bridge over the river in this city.
1t was generally supposed that the
site of the Improvement would be just
below Bellaire. but the fact that test
holes are to be put down above the
suspension bridge would appear to In
dlcate that the location may be
changed. Possibly the fall in altitude
of the river is go great between Wheel
ing and the dam next above Wheeling
that navlgable stage of water would
not be had in the harbor of Wheeling II
the dam were located below Bellnire.
on the other hand. with the dam locat-
ed north of the bridge. its building
ahead of the chain of dams that are
contemplated would delay giving slack
water in Wheeling harbor probably for
several years-perhaps for many years.
and II 1t is at all feasible to locate the
dam below Bellalre Wheeling people
will hope that site will be selected by
the engineers.
In the circular asking for bids, It Is
stated that the work must be completed
early In November, Several local con-
tractors are interested, and will enter
bids with Major Bixby.

school of ST. Miehaefs Chapel took place
at 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
chapel building was crowded with the Of
ficers and pupils of the school and their
friends, and the programme or song, read
ing and responses was interesting and
well rendered throughout. The services
were conducted by Superintendent VIII

the school to be in a prosperous financial
condition, and that the average attend
ance of officers, teachers and pupils gives

been self-sustaining, but during the past
year has sent contributions TO mission
schools at Pooler and in Florida.
Chaplain Frank Stringfelaow, of the
Fourth Virginia, was present at the meet

children. 1t had reference 10 the necessity
of finding in this world place OF refuge

IL clear to their youthful minds.

1891 as a mission of Christ Church. For
the past four years the work has been
carried on, principally, by the members
