London June -, l a rn.-The sudden death Of
Count AIuravien is a startling incident which
has an important bearing upon the China ques-
ton and Russian policy. He was the most pa
cific Minister OF Foreign Affairs Russia had
known during recent years, and exercised re-
gtraining influence over the ambitious generals.
The Gar called him from Copenhagen when
successor for Prince LobanoT was needed and
that was a quiet capital. where a Minister had
easily been convinced thar Russia and Great
Britain ought get comfortably together.
Count Muravief1 not only took UP The Cars
project for a Peace Conference At The Hague
and carried it through in a sym athletic spirit.
but he also practised peace in his relations with
the European Powers and declined to take ad-
vantage Of England's heavy work in South
Africa A European concert IN China was
more likely to prove effective when so moderate
and pacific statesman was IN charge Of Russian
diplomacy. His death has come at an mop
perfume moment for the settlement OF the great
questions connected with the impending disso-
luton OF the Chinese Empire. His successor
may be more easily influenced from Paris and
less cautious in dealing with Germany and Eng
land.
The situation in China continues most serious
since there has been no communication with the
legations at Peking for nine days. nor for a
week with the Admiral commanding the relief
force, nor with Tien-Tsin for five days Chinese
reports from the capital reassuring, but
there VIII be anxiety in every European For
eign Office until there is definite information
that the legations are safe. that the relief col
has arrived at the capital. and that order
is restored in Tien-Tsin. The Admirals OF the
allied Powers have proclaimed their intention
Of making war only upon the Boxers who may

Peking. They viii order advance 10 Tlen-
Tsin from Taku as soon they have sufil-
cient force.
Rumor mongers have been busy on the sea-
board and at foreign capitals. and especially
active in Yokohama, where it has been reported
that all the Ministers Peking have been
killed, and that Admiral Seymour was dead
These rumors are untrustworthy as the
stories about Seymours five battles on the way
TO Peldng. The only certainty seems TO be the
continuance Of the fighting Tien-Tsin; but
there is an increasing probability that the lega-
tions are safe and that the marines in

Thousand of Population.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE feature
of the annual report of Lieut.. Gen.
Miles, commanding the army. is a
chapter dealing with the need for a
general reorganization of the mill
tary service. In regard to this ques-
ton, he says:
THE events of the past two years and a
half have resulted in condition that the
nation must prepare to meet. The need
for an efficient and well-organized land
force for an indefinite period in the future
is most obvious, and the organization of
such a force cannot be wisely avoided.
There are weighty reasons why such a
service as is now demanded of the army
cannot be performed by a temporary or
ganization. The permanent force of the
army should be one man for each thou
sand of population of the United States"

107, being $10,316, 107 in excess of the
estimated amount and $21 1881, 534 more
