Congressman Cooper will not leave for
Washington until Monday morning Of
next week. Tho purpose OF his visit to
the seat OF government at this time is on
business connected with the lumber In
terests of Southeast Texas. Ii viii be
remembered that at rs recent session
congress passed. q law which prohibits
rafting OF loose lSgs sor circle hooms
down nayigable Streams. Enforcement
OF the provisions OF this law is left to
tho Judgment and discretion of tho sec
rotary OF war. Lumbermen, especially
those at Orange and Lake Charles. are of
the opinion that strict enforcement of
tho law will work great hardship on
the lumber industry at those points, and
CONGRESSMAN Cooper will accompany n
committee of Orangeites to Washington
and endeavor to Impress on the secretary
OF war the conditions which prevail on
the Sabine river. The Orange committee
will not be ready TO go before Monday.
hence Congressman Cooper's departure
is deferred.

concerted action. He will be diplomatic
accessory after the fact and will be passed
through the allied fleets and camps to
the capital where his head will be cut
off If he declines TO serve the govern
ment of assassination. Men who have
passed many years in China arc utterly
hopeless In their comments upon the pres
ent situation. They assert that the Man
chu dynasty is fighting for its life aud
power aud that 1t will not spare any effort
to set the furious mobs in motion against
foreign concessions at Shanghai Nankin,
Chez Foo and other places. Some Of TIE
best informed men favor united action by
the powers by which Nankin shall be pro-
claimed the capital so that appeal can
be made tc the Chinese themselves against
the despotic and arrogant Manchurians,
but they ADMIT In the next breath that
this policy can not be carried out since
both Russia and Japan will not consent
TO the degradation of Pekn when each
hopes ultimately to occupy and to hold
it permanently.
No power except Japan apparently knowa
its own mind and while battalons and
naval brigades are going out there is no
settled policy but general reluctance to
AMI to break off diplomatic relations with
a government which has virtually decreed
the expulsion of foreigners and the oa-
structon Of all alien interests. Sheng is
still giving out contradictory messages
respecting the legations and there are
highly imaginative estimates as TO the
strength of the Chinese army in the field
The real trend of events is disclosed by
two facts, first, that the Chinese govern
ment is forcing the foreign powers TO
stand together and fight by its own ag-
gressive action, and secondly. that the
powers while banded together have their
eyes fixed upon spheres and interests
where each must ultimately assume the
responsibilities of administration This
was illustrated by Mr.. Broderick's aGmis-
sion that ne consul general at Shanghai
had been empowered to give assurances
of British support to the viceroys in the
Yang Use region.
