The cotton mills of South Carolina
have voluntarily raised the wages of
their employees because of the improved
condition of business and have thereby
cast another element of generalization
into the calamity campaign which is soon
to be set on foot in that section. Mi n
neapolis Tribune.
Like all good republican journals the
Minneapolis Tribune fails to give more
than one side of the story. 1t is true
that the cotton mill operators have VOL
unfairly given their employees ten per
cent raise in wages, but why does not
the Tribune make note of the forty per
cent raise in the price of cotton goods
which has gone into effect within the
past few months. Inquiry at any of the
large retail establishments in Mime apo
lis will show the editor of the Tribune
that this statement is absolutely correct
and that cotton goods formerly sold to
the trade at from three and half to
four and half cents per yard now bring
five and half at wholesale, and for
goods which formerly -etailed at five
cents per yard the consumer must now
pay seven cents. The REVIEW is not a
calamity bowler. 1t is ready to aver.
with the Tribune, that the country is
prosperous, but it is nevertheless fact
that the raise in wages about which SO
much is said is not at all commensurate
with the increase in price Of the neces,
sites which the laborer must buy. Be
virtuous and you will be happy is 8
we'll known maxim, but he truthful ano
and you will be respected is equally az

London Sept lin the absence on furthet

with discussions of the Russo-American pro-

the representations of OPINIONS In the various
European capitals. calculated to subject
the unity of the allies to exceedingly severe
and dangerous test
In Germany. especially. these proposals are so

1t is recognized on all sides that Germany's
decision is the pivot of the matter Emperor
William intended by dispatching Count Won
waldersee. to have the master hand in the
Chinese settlement Russia has taken the wind
out Of that officers sails and is now posing as
the friend and protector of China.
The morning papers express the greatest sus-
picion of the intentions OF Russia. THE
Times's' editorial fairly represents the opinion
of all. THE Standard" says:
Diplomacy some times makes strange bedfel-
lows. II is curious to find the mighty autocracy
of the Old World and the great Republic OF the
New gently coaxing the other Powers along the
paths of peace. Nothing could be better than
the spirit OF these documents, and 1t is inter
esting to find two such Powers so anxious 10 de-

the United States and Russia 1t adds:
Russia has heard OF the open door before from
greater naval Power than the United States
and has replied by simply slammihs the door

Vienna dispatches show that the Russo-Amer-

HARDSHLps or THE TROOPS.
TRANSPORT SERVICE LACKING IN THE
MARCH ON PEKING.

Pekng Aug. 14.-One disadvantage that the
Americans had during the hard march to the
relief of Picking the delay In arriving of
their transportation wagons. The 9th Infantry
possessed the only outfit which reached Tien-
Tsn up to the time of starting. The supplies
were divided among the soldiers of the 9th
and the 18th Infantry regiments and the bat
terry. The Americans with haversacks, blankets
and tent rolls started under the heaviest loads.
but they soon stripped to lighting trim, prefer
ring to forego their blankets rather than to sweat
under them. On the last two nights of the
march they slept, tired and worn out, In the
rain, without shelter or cover.
One night the wagon train lost the road and
passed the American camp. The drivers piodded
along four miles in the darkness and rain. They
might have driven into the Chinese camp but
fortunately the Russians stopped them just In
time.
The Americans often bivouacked supperless
and breakfastless, and toward the end the Of
ficers kept the men at work only by appealing
to their National pride
Don't let the Britshers beat you'll Don't let
the Russians get ahead" they urged constantly
The Army transport. when it reached Picking
was unique spectacle. Miles of animals. We
hicles and coolies trailed behind. Everything
imaginable on wheels from farm wagons to
fashionable equpages, was impressed, and every
horse mule and Chinaman in the path was
Communicated. The Japanese had cows bear
ing packs. and the Russians had camels. China
men pulled the carts and staggered under heavy
packs, the soldiers cursing and beating them.
Several dropped dead. Two hundred junks and
scows bearing munitions, were towed up the
river by coolies Had the Chinese taken the
offensive most OF the transportation might
easily have been captured and cut TO pieces by
small thanking parties.
After it was apparent that the enemy was
demoralized, the generals trusted the transport
to luck and bent their efforts toward getting
ahead Only such an emergency as existed
could have justified such hardships as were
imposed upon the troops.

VIEWS OF GENERAL MILES.
HE BELIEVES THE ACUTE STAGE IN CHINA
HAS NOT BEEN REACHED.

Chicago Aug. 3l-The acute stage Of the Chinese
situation has not been reached, in the opinion OF
General Nelson A. Miles. He regards 1t quite
possible that general conflict OF the Powers may
result from the conflicting interests In China, and
he believes that an attempt the part OF some
Of the Powers TO partition the Celestial Empire
among themselves would be sufficient ground for
the United States to resort to force.
General Miles also believes that the dismember-
ment Of China would hold the possibility of a great
danger to the United States in that the time might
come when the European nations would turn their
covetous glances toward the riches of America
and be tempted 20 combine against this country.
NO do not believe that the acute stage of the
Chinese crisis has passed." said the General II
believe that it is possible that the conflicting In
terests of the Powers will yet bring a general
conflict. which will involve all the civilized Powers
in the greatest war OF modern times.
THE danger arises from the chance that some OF
the Powers will attempt the dismem berment of the
Chinese Empire. II the United States and Russia
succeed in acting in harmony along the lines OF

OPPOSED TO THEsBLAN OF THIS GOVERN
cAtENT AND RUSSIA

London. Sept. 1.-The Times" dealing edi-
toriaIIy this morning with the Russian policy
in China, says: pcs
The advantages of Russia's policy not
manifest and it is very doubtful whether it
will recommend itself to Powers like England
and Germany that have large commercial in
terests in the establishment of a stable and
progressive government to replace the reaction
airy clique which has impeded all progress and
development in China in recent years
Negotiation with Ii Hung Chang would be a
conformation OF Government crimes and the
throwing away of all the advantages gained by
the occupation of Picking.
Much mischief may already have been done
by the hesitation to enter the Forbidden City.
To withdraw from Picking would be interpreted
as proving not only that the allies are towards
but that they are hopelessy divided. 1t may be
that some of the Powers will withdraw. but that
does not imply that others bound to leave
Picking and to acquesce in the restoration of q
government guilty OF a gross international
crime.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The following dispatch
from the japanese Foreign Office was received
to-day at the Japanese legation
A telegram from Picking gives the strength of
the allied forces which took part in the relief OF
Picking as follows: Japanese, $500 infantry, 20
cavalry. $50 engineers and 53 guns; Russian
$500 infantry, $50 cavalry and p guns; British,
1882 infantry, 400 cavalry and 13 guns; Ameri.

guns: French 400 marines and Is guns.
On the 25th seventy Chinese surrendered. OF
these fve each were detained by the Japanese
and British forces for the purpose of ascertain
ing the state of affairs among the Chinese, the
rest being set at liberty. On the 9th 200 more
surrendered, most of whom were guards and

after being brought to Japanese headquarters,
where he kindly treated, was sent to the
palace to make the necessary preparations for
the parade of the allied forces through the pal
ace, to be held on the 18th, in commemoration
of their successful entry into the city.
As large number of Court ladies were found
in the palace, every precaution was taken 10 pro-

London Aug. 31.-The Associated Press has
official authority for announcing that the Amer
lean Russian proposal in favor OF the with
drawal of the allied forces from Picking, with
the view of facilitating negotiations for the
conclusion Of peace has not only met with con-
siderable favor at European Chancelleries, but
is almost certain to he adopted. In the mean
while the question OF employing Ii Hung Chang
as an intermediary is meeting with more and
more favor. and will in all probability be set

The recent statement that the admirals of
the Powers in Chinese waters contemplated de-
tanning Ii Hung Chang at Taku is devoid of
foundation. Ii Hung Chang will remain at
Shanghai. endeavoring to open communications
with his colleagues Of the Chinese Government
There is a growing conviction In official circles
here that the withdrawal OF the allies from
Picking is the only practical procedure unde-
the existing circumstances, and 1t is believed
the retention of the allied forces at Picking is
liable to raise further complications of a dan
gerous character and unnecessarily 10 irritate
the Chinese populace.
There is. however. doubt IN official circles
that 1t will he necessary for the Powers to
maintain their hold OF the Taku forts and GER
