that they themselves are unable to saw

1T is an error to assume that the Chi

or If in her demands for redress she
should go further than the powers prin-
clDally interested in China"
Regarding the causes that led to the
Chinese troubles, Herr Won Brandt quot
ed verbatim the text of a remarkable re-
port made by the chief of the RussO-Asi-
attic bank of Pe5in on June 10 last, but
not heretofore published. The passage of
the greatest interest is as follows:
a majority of the Pekin legations have
decided to demand the creation of foreign
settlements in Pekin, like those at the
treaty harbors, Immediately after the ar
rival In PelSin of strong detachmentS. NJ.
DeGiers, Russian minister, will endeavor
to reduce this demand to the appointment
or foreign police commissioners under
command of the legations.
Several OF the legations desire a spec
ial regency over the emperor and the re-
moval of the empress dOwager from pow
er, but NJ. de GierS insists upOn retaining
the powers of the empress dOwager, since
the above arrangement would induce sew
eral powers to demand the appointment
of their candidates as members of the
regency"
This report did not reach St Peters
burg until July 80. Commenting upon it,
Herr Brandt remarked:
This shows how far the Pekin minis
tiers wished to go even before serious diff
ficultieS began.

next battle of which will be for the
control of both houses of congress?
Belittles the Constitution.
There are certain large and general
considerations. however, which. to my
mind, demonstrate that the authority
10 govern these dependencies is vested
IN congress subject to no disabling linn
itations of certain provisions of the
constitution, which, because they are
napplicable to such d situation, never
could have been designed by the franz
ers to apply to it.
L believe it never was heard before
that any constitutional government,
with the full and complete powers of
a nation, was disabled by the very in
strument which created it from the ac-
QUESTION of territory by the consider
alton that it would be impossible to
govern ii when acquired.
Speaking my own opinion, l would
hold the Philippines permanently and
not Professionally. 1 would, from time

their capability, give them the fullest
power of elf-government they are
capable of exercising. / would do as

In declaring that we. will convene

New York, Aug. 29.-Articles of in

of the secretary of state in Trenton.
by the Capital Investment & Supply
company of New Jersey. All of the
seven incOrporators are coIored men
The articles of incorporation of the
company permit the corporation to fur

stores, deal in real estate and engage
in commercial pursuits. 1t is further
said in the papers that the company
will carry on a portion of its business
in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Chicago, Cincinnati, St.
Louis. Wilmington, Del, and Richmond
and Norfolk Va, and in such other
places in the several states and terri
tories Of the United States and in such
foreign countries as may be found
necessary.
The capital stock was placed at
S75, 600 divided into 5000 shares of the
par value of 81 and the amount paid

For years the intelligent colored men

What is TO be the future of the

that they, through force of circum-

terence with Acting Secretary Adee.
IL IS understood that any question
which may have arisen as to the fu
ture course of Germany. is met by a
reference to an official note by Count
Won Bue!ow, German minister of for
elgn affairs, issued on July II. which
Iully defined Germany's purpose in
emma. This note of the German chan
celior followed within ten days of Sec
fetary Hays note to the powers on
July 3, and is somewhat analogous in
setting forth Germany's intentions.
Count Won Buelow's note said:
Our aim is the restoration of secur-
ity Tor persons and property, freedom
OF action for German subjects in
China, the rescue Of the foreigners be-
leaguered in Pekin, the re-establish-
ment of security and regular condi-
tons under a proper organized Chi
nese government and PREPARATION and
satisfaction for the Outrages commit

and seek no special advantages. The
imperial government is imbued with
the conviction that the maintenance of
the agreement between the powers is a
primary condition for the restoration
OF peace and order in China"
