MORE HOPEFUL AT WASHINGTON.
Remey's Report of the Tien Tsin Losses
Wu's ReAssuring News.

Washington, July 1S.-A decidedly
more hopeful feeling with regard to
the Chinese situation was apparent in
all administration circles last even
ing. The tide of sentiment. which
had been markedly pessimiStic. turned
with the announcement of the victory
of the allies at Tien TSin, and the
capture of the forts and native city,
and gathered further strength from
Minister Wu's cablegram declaring
that the foreign ministers at Pekin
were safe July .. Aside from these
dispatches the arrival of the president
and the special cabinet meeting called
to consider the situation were the fea-
lures OF the day. The cabinet met at
go n. IN. yesterday. less than an hour
after the president reached the White
House.
One of the first things noted by the
officials was Admiral Remeys cable
giving the losses of the United States
troops at Tien Tsin in the fight in
which the allies were repulsed as fol-
lows: "Marines-Captain Davis.
killed: Captain Lemly. Lieutenants
Butler and Leonard, wounded. Army

ed reported. 40. Russians and Jap
anese lost heavily. Our total loss re-
prted. 215: about forty were marines.
but number believed 10 be eXagger-
ated." \ paragraph at the end Of
the dispatch tells of the capture of
the forts later.
After the cabinet had adjourned its
long session of two and n half hours,
Secretary Root gave out the following
formal statement of the action Of the
cabinet: The president has deter
mined that the facts now known to
us do not require or justify calling an
extra session OF congress. Should fu-
ture developments indicate that he is
unable TO do what il required with
tie means now a. his command. and
the action of congress is necessary 10

EXTRAVAGANCE.

The following extracts taken
from Senator Clay's able speech
in the United States Senate recent
ly indicate the extravaganza with
WHICH the affairs of this govern
ment is administered. 1t seems
impossible that we can keep up
our credit at the pace we are now
going.
In 1860 at the close of Buchan-
ans administration the popula-
ton of the United States was 81
443,221 and the expenses of the
government amounted tC only H.
055, 125 or a per capita tax of
81 .45, a decrease of four cents
ovei the administration of Mr..
Jefferson.
In 1896, at the close of Mr..
Cleveland's administration, our
population was 71,263, 900, and
the entire expense of the govern
ment was $494 per capita, re-
markable decrease ever the pre-
ceeding Harrison administration.
The tax payers of this country
paid the enormous sum of 1897
per capita for administering the
affairs of this government for the
year of 1899. The head of fam
lily with a wife and five children
at this rate would pay into the
treasury $48 to meet the extrava-
gance of its bosses.
Placing the population of the
United States for 1900 at n ,OO0,-
600, the expenditures of our gov
eminent, per capita, for the year
1900, would be 1901. The expen-
ditures for the year 1901 would be
$3.50 per capita.

secret organization whose chief
object is relentless hostility to the
Christian religion and the killing

then all uniting and driving for
eigners out of China.
