FRIENDLY TO CHINA
n,nister wu's View of This Country'S
Oriental Policy.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Mr. WI, the
Chinese minister. has made the follow
ing statement in regard to the Amer
lean policy OF free ports in China:
Il am convinced that the United
States, in taking action with respect to
its interests in China, is actuated not
only by a desire protect these inter
ests, but also to conserve the friendly
relations which have always subsisted
between the Pekin and Washington
governments. It is said that two con-
structions might be placed upon the
action taken by the president-one that
in abandoning its policy of silence with
respect to affairs in the territory of
my government this government has
taken a step in Chinese affairs which
may be preliminary to acquiring a foot
hold on the ksiatic continent
THE other view is that this govern
ment has announced TO the powers of
Europe its purpose to fully protect
American interests; that it Will oppose
the acquisition and closing up of ter
ritory in the empire, and to this extent
give its support to the imperial gov
ernment. hold 10 this View, for I am
confident that the policy of the United
States, as it has ever been in the past,
will be honorable and friendly toward
China.
4 am satisfied that the United States
has no intention of establishing itself
on the Asiatic continent. You have
only recently secured possession of the
Philippine archipelago, which furnishes
an excellent base from which your mer-
chants and commercial men can Op-
crate in China. The possession of this
territory entirely obviates the neces-
sity of this government doing more
than it has already done to preserve its
commercial rights. To do more would
be to injure the friendly relations be-
tween the two governments. The ex-
listing condition is beneficial not only
to China, but to the United States as
we'll, because of the good will felt for
the American people, not only by my
government, but by the Chinese peo-

INTERSTATE (OrMERCEr
The Commission is Now in Session
Of ST. Louis.

St. Louis. No, Nov. 13.-The meeting
Of the interstate commerce commission,
which began here today, is expected to
decide the long standing question as to
whether the transcontinental roads
legally can make the same rates from
all points east of the Missouri river.
The case results from the strong fight
that the Chicago and St. Louis mer-
chants have made against the alleged
discrimination of the Southern Pacific
in making the same rates to California
points from New York as are made
from Chicago, St. Louis and Missouri
river points. The merchants of the
western cities claim that nearly all of
the Pacific coast business has been
driven away from their cities to the
exclusive benefit of New York.
The commissioners are also asked to
order the transcontinental roads not to
maintain so large a difference between
carload and less than carload rates.

London, Nov. 13.-The Times pub
fishes a communication this morning
from its st. Petersburg correspondent.
who discussed the recent rumOrs of a
Russian advance toward Herat. The
correspondent thinks that although the
rumors are without foundation there
can be no doubt that the Russian mill
tary authorities are preparing for an
advance to Herat in certain eventuali-
ties such as the death or abdicatiOn of
the ameer of Afghanistan, which would
lead to disturbances.
The paucity of news from the front
still leaves the chief interest centered
in the arrival of reinforcements. Est
court dispatches say that heliograph
communication has been established
with Ladysmith, but so far no news has
been received, the latest date being No
vember 6. which shows that the occu-
pants of Ladysmith had no news of the
outside world since General French
reached Pietermaritzburg, and that
they were puzzled at the inactivity Of
the Beers. Every one was confident
and cheerful, but all were suffering the
inconvenience of a siege, bread selling
at three shillings per loaf.

A DURHAM DISPATCH.

London, Nov. ia special dispatch
from Durham, Natal, dated - Thursday
evening, November 9Th, says:
Native runners have just arrived
here from Drakensburg district and re-
port that the Beers suffered a severe
defeat at Ladysmith this morning. The
Boer guns were siIenced after four
hours fighting. during which the Boer
losses were heavy. No details have
been received"
The war department today received
a dispatch from Colonel Baden
Powell at Mafeking, through Cen
eral Butler at Captown, which
says that the Beers are closing
in to invest the place. The shelling
continues but does little harm.
Simultaneous attacks on Lady

Beers of the fact that every day

slaught on any of the three British
strongholds.
General Joubert's chances of reach
ing Pietermaritzburg can be said to
have vanished. This is already report
ed to be admitted by Colonel Schiel,
the German officers commanding the
Boer artillery, who is supposed to have
been largely the author of the Beers
plan of campaign.

the Volunteers Ray Become
Regulars and rske noEey.

Boston, Nov. 13.-With no discharged
volunteer soldiers making application
for enlistment in the regular service,
recruiting is now very slow. In fact, it
hasn't been so dun at any other time
during the last two years. Recruiting
Sergeants Marcy and Webber. at the
local stations. have been in Boston for
the past three years. and they say that
the condition of affairs is fast getting
to be what it was two years ago, be
fore there was any thought of war with
Spain.
At that time the average number OF
enlistments was about sixteen or
efgh.e n n month. The war with Spain
brought The number mp to about twenty
n day for. the regular service alone.
Then, when the war was practically
finished, there was a general falling
off, until the new volunteer regiments
We're called out for service in the Phil
ippines. Recruiting was kept active
during the time between the close of
the Spanish war and the calling for
regiments for the Philippines, as state
volunteer regiments We're constantly
being discharged. and many of the men
were anxious to go back into some
branch of the service. In this way the
enHstnents were numerous.
Now there are no volunteer soldiers
TO go into service, and recruits for the
most part are those who enter the
army as a winter abiding place. About
one man a day is obtained at the pres
ent time. although the fall atmosphere
has had its effect the last day or two
in driving several to shelter. There
were six applications for enlistment
this morning.
Captain Atkinson, who has had
charge the past few months of the
KneeIand street station, has gone to
Fort Thomas, Ky. to do service there.
Major Foote now takes personal super
.izton at both the Hanover street and
the Kneeland street stations. he is at
the Hanover street station on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday OF each week.
and at Kneeland street the remaining
days Of the week.
There is considerable talk among
army officers TO the effect that the new
volunteer regiments Will be made reg
uIars as soon as the three years for
which they have been recruited expire.
It is the common opinion. however,
that the first ten regiments which were
called for viii be made regulars, and
that the recruits of the other ten regi-
ments, called for later, will be used in
filing up the vacancies in the first
batch. OF course. at the end of three
years the time Of service for which the
enlistments were made will have ex-
pired, and the men viii be at liberty TO
come home or to re-enter the service.
