OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
Cause of the Delay In the Power,
Making Agreement.

The administration is not altogether sat-
isfied with the delay attending the negotia-
tons initiated by this government for an
open-door agreement between the powers
for China The slow progress is particu-
larly disappointing inasmuch as the pros
pect of speedy results seemed particularly
bright when our representatives abroad
first preached the subject At first it was
thought even that the President might be
able to announce to Congress on its assem-
bling that the agreement proposed had been
put into a formal compact between the
powers. The delay, however, does not sig
nifty failure, nor has there been any ex-
preston of hostility to the plan by any of
the powers.
eral tone of acquieScence, that powers en-
ter into this agreement on the ground of it
not being good policy to decline to do so,
and not because of universal sentiment in
favor of the agreement. The delay is at
tributed to the South African war Powers
rather reluctant to pledge themselves to
permanently maintain the open door in
hitting themselves further in the matter
to see what is going to happen to Great
Britain.
Some who would not resist the open-door
policy when insisted upon by both Great
Britain and the United States might feel
sufficiently secure to reject the proposition
if pressed by the United States alone, and
therefore there appears to be purpose to
delay the matter until it can be determined
whether Great Britain may not become SO
involved with complications drawing ont
of the Boer war as to be unable to act with
the United States in an effective way witt
reference to the Chinese policy.

Cen Otis has issued a decree authorizing
the celebration of civil marriages in the
Philippines. He cabled Secretary Root to
that effect, and the Secretary promptly ap-
proved the action. Heretofore all marriages
were celebrated by the Catholic Church, so
that Professionals and non-Christians were
prohibited from marrying. The decree does
not interfere with the Catholics who may
be married according to their own rites,
but extends the privilege of civil marriage
to those who desire It, just as is practiced
