For the star contest Arthur Jones of Washing ton. D. C., and Jack Hamilton of Troy, \. Y., have been matched for twenty rounds at 126 pounds. These men are top-notchers in their class, Hamilton having frequently met such men as Jack O'Brien, with whom he has lost once and drawn. Hamilton and Jones met at Troy some months ago and after twenty furious rounds the referee called it draw The middle bout is in itself q star attraction, and it is for the bantamweight championship of the world. Griffith Jones of Philadelphia and Kid Flanagan of Brooklyn will meet at 110 pounds. Young Jones has a record of twenty-two straight wins in Philadelphia and has only been de- feated twice-one of these defeats was by Flanagan on a decision. The first preliminary will be between Mike Maher of Hartford and Kid Matthew son of Rockville. These men probably are the cleverest pugilists in the state, all things considered. It will be re- membered that the two men met in Hartford some months since and after q pretty exhibition the honors were even. Charley White of New York will referee.

WHAT IS OUR POLICYe

Notwithstanding the first diplomatic an
nouncements which are furnished to the
press each succeeding day by the officials
of the state department, it may be said
that there is much Of public surprise, If
not of dissatisfaction, at the circumstance
that the policy of this government in
China remains still unannounced.
AS the G l o b has viewed the situa-
ton it has seemed plain that there was
a clear division among the powers as to
the true course to be pursued, and that
the policy pursued by one side of the
divided councils indicated no particular
dislike of the prospect of Chinese dis
memberment. Whether right or wrong
in our view there has been confirmation
thereof offered from an unexpected
source within day or two.
1t is pretty plain speaking, for instance
which the Westminster Gazette INDUCES
in, and it certainly goes a long way to-
ward confirming the view Of the
Globe, when it declared few days
ago, as follows.
''Two well-marked policies show them
selves in the far East. Behind the polite
exchange of notes we can detect two
parties. One of these, composed Of the
United States, Russia, France and ia
pan, stands for compromise as the best
way out of a difficult corner. The 9th
er, composed of Great Britain, Germany
and some minor powers, stands fer rig
orous and infexible insistence upon
what it considers Justice toward China
for its various offenses."
For some time before the appearance of
Count Won WaIdersee, in China, 1t seemed
apparent that there lay behind the pros
pective- course of Germany purpose not
far different in spirit from that which
that nation showed when it eyacted one
of the finest ports in China, together
with territorial concessions of immense
value, for the murder of two German
missionaries. The insistence which has
been maintained on an amount Of money
indemnity which is recognized as wholly
beyond the financial resources of the
empire, and on the application Of the
death penalty to even the father Of the
possible heir to the Chinese throne, do
not tend to discourage the belief that
Germany has far-reaching designs in
China, which may extend even to the
acceptance of further territorial conces-

sion In lieu Of a money idemnity which
neither the credit nor the resources of
China warrant the belief that she can
meet.
It is not necessary to lose sight OF the
agreement recently reached between
Great Britain and Germany as to their
future policy, and which is plainly in
the nature of an alliance between those
two nations. There Is an open door in
that agreement; but 1t is a doorway
! which leads to possible consequences
| which may or may not be insisted on ac-
cording as existing conditions seem to
warrant, and which may be regarded as
fairly ominous of the future helplessness
| of China
The division which the Westminster
Gazette outlines has seemed plain enough
for long time past Russia has shown her
unwilhngness to insist on unreasonable
terms by the withdrawal Of her forces.
France has fairly indicated her willing
ness to accept for her own guidance the
policy adopted by Russia; while Japan,
| notwithstanding the stress which the
cable dispatches have put on her dis
agreement with Russia, has shown the
most pacific and yielding disposition to-
ward the broken empire
In such a situation as is here outlined.
the concert of powers has become a
practical impossibiIity, and the duty of
the United States seems quite plain.
That duty is not to be either met or avoid
ed along the lines laid down in Wash
ington Associated Press dispatch of
Thursday last, wherein some very fine
hafr-splitting is done showing the de-

eminent is to pursue the country has a
right to know it, and that speedily. Our
diplomacy in the East is fast partaking

not is made to wait upon I would. We
have been committed successfully to all
kinds of courses, from the most pacific
to the most exacting, at intervals in the
past few months. The country should be
informed once for all whether we are to
pursue one course or the other. Unless
we come speedily to conclusion we are
bound to lose whatever Of prestige our

Lest some tarif-wild partisan shonld
rise here and shout that the Chinaman
pays the tea tax, and not the American
consumer, and that the war tariff on tea
therefore is not guilty of The tea trade
slump, it may be well at this point to
note: First, that within twelve months
after the tax became law the price rose
10 per cent; and, second, that American
consumption, by logical parallel, fell #
40 per cent. 1t was LBS pounds per capt.

lower than at any other time since the
Civil war, and one-third less than IN 1A51.
From 1880 to 1897, when tea was on the
free list the price dropped over one. half;
but within a year after the tax the price
rose half way to the high-water mark
of two decades ago. The American con-.
sumner therefore pays the tax, whose logi-
cal effect is menace to American trade.
This, then, is the situation We have
sent at high cost an army AMI navy to
blaze path for American commerce i:fo
the Orient, and then numbered the way
with heavy obstacle to that commerce.
We have sent out a largely augmented con-
sular service to develop foreign markets
for our goods and discover foreign wares
for exchange, and then impose tax upon
the trade which thereby is to be affected.

trade as a great field. 1t IS a blow to
