While it is not known how the allies
settled their differences in regard to the
leadership and other questions concerning
the advance movement. Cficlal circles here
are confident that the expedition viii be
generally participated in and that the dire
need of the diplomats at Pekin, as evil
denced by the appeals for assistance from
Minister Conger and others, viii overcome
the minor differences Of the various mill
tary detachments and arouse a general de-
sire to save their imperiled countrymen.
1t is feared in some quarters that the
allied movement toward the capital will be
halted suddenly by the trump card which
the Chinese are holdirg-the foreigners at
the besieged city. All along there have
been hints that the danger Of the minis
ters depended upon the discretion Of the
powers. a veiled threat to use the ENJOYS
as hostages and to threaten their extinc-
tion unless the hostile advance movement
is stopped.
II the Imperial Government at Pekin
should declare that unless the Tientsin ex-
petition were halted the diplomats would
De sent out of the city-that is. turned over
to The revengefuI and brutal Boxer element
the nations would find themselves in
puzzling situation. for they could scarcely
afford to ignore the threat and defy the
Chinese unless by pressing forward to the
capital.
Chian's Trump Card.
1t is this menace that hangs over tie
civilized world today and every capital in
Europe expects to be notified within a com
paratively few hours that the further prog
ress OF the Tientsin troops means the gen
eraI massacre which has been impending
for weeks. The Chinese are too tricky to
fail to appreciate the weapon at their
hands, one with which they may at any
moment confound the plans of the allies
and bring their warlike advances to
sudden stop.
With the lives Of the foreigners at stake
they can almost dictate terms to the na-
tions whose representatives they hold in
their power. and at present there ceems
to be absolutely no device for checkmating
such move, which is certain to be the next
on the chess board Of Asia.
The feeling in London today is one OF
extreme apprehension. The certainty that
the ministers were alive on July % and
are probably alive today caused wave OF
satisfaction, but # was followed by re-

Preliminary Peace Convention.

Pekin, Nov. 12.-The foreign minis
tiers have finally agreed upon the terms
of preliminary convention between
the combined powers and China. A
copy was sent the Chinese commission
ers for consideration.
The Chinese peace commissioners
having urged the empress dowager to
Immediately execute Governor Yeh
Sian and General Tung Fuh Slang as
proof of good intentions to adequately
punish the ministers most responsible
for atrocities. the reply has come from
the court that the utmost sentence for
Yeh Sian will be punishment, and as
the court is now in the power Of
Siang's troops it is impossible to pun
ish Slang at all.
1t will require firm pressure from the
powers to secure these two detestable
criminals, but the rebellion now rag
ing in the south, with the declared
purpose to expel the Manchu dynasty
and establish one purely Chinese, will
soon compel the dowager to yield to
all demands of the powers and make
peace with the foreign devil to es-
cape the deep sea of Chinese revolu-
ton.

Proposed Increase of the Army.

Warrington. Nov. Ex-senator Proc
tor of the Senate committee on military
affairs and Adjutnnt General Corbin
held an Informal conference with the
President Saturday, relative to legisla-
tion to be asked of Congress in connec-
ton with the proposed increase of the
regular army.
Under the existing law" said Sen
ator Proctor. nt the conclusion of the
conference. 1.-THE present strength OF
the army, G5,OOO regulars and $4,000
volunteers. will he reduced on the first
day of next July to 2I.OOO regulars.
This is an absurdly small number, and
Congress will be asked by the Presi-
dent to reorganize the army upon a
larger basis. 1t will be impossible TO
keep any troops in the Philippines un-
less the army is increased, to say moth
ing of the garrisons for the forts In
this country.
.My own judgment is that Congress
will provide II regular army of about
55 1000 or 10000 men. with discretion to
the President to raise the total to 1OO,-
600 II he finds the larger number nee
essary. l have no doubt that this leg
islation will be enacted at the coming
session."

Washington, d. G., Nov. 1.-THE
final count Of the population OF Colora-
do gives the state a total OF 539,7OO In.
habitants, an increasr of 121, ,5O2 since
1890. or 3O.9 per cent
After n two weeks discussion the
general opinion now prevails that the
basis of congressional apportionment
under the new census will be about
100000. 1t is"certain that the figures
must be something above the present
basis of 173.OOO, and If 1t goes above
100000, the representation OF n number
Of large and influential states would
be reduced. On the basis proposed
Maine is the only state of influence
whose representation will be cut.
On this basis Colorado is absolutely
sure to have three representatives In
the Fifty-eighth and succeeding Con-
crosses, but could not get fourth on
any reasonable apportionment. Whe-
ther the state is to be redistricted, or
the new member is to be elected at
large, is Il question for the state Leg
islature.
Colorado had in 1850 population of
34,277, and in 1870 population Of 80
S64, but In 1880, the first census taken
after Its admission as n state, 1t had
grown to 194.327. representing an in
crease in ten years Of 154 ,463. or 3S1.4
per cent. During the decade from 1880
to 1880 1t again increased by consider
any more than 10 per cent, giving a
total in 1890. as previously stated, of
412,10S
The population of Colorado in 1900
is nearly sixteen times as large as the
population given for 1860, the first

China Must Be Divided.

London, Nov. 12-Baron Hayashl.
Japanese minister to London, believes
that the logic of events will compel the
powers to dismember China. To Chi
cagO Record correspondent he said:
affairs in China will remain at II
standstlll until next March because of
the severe winter. Then the trouble
will flare up again.
ut will be impossible to catch tile
emperor. the empress dOwager or
Prince Tuan. The latter will naturally
not come to Pekin. If the emperor and
empress want to come Tuan will kill
them and set up his son as emperor.
n the allies attempt to penetrate fur
ther into the interior In search of the.
refugees they will accomplish nothing.
for the fleeing rulers will merely move
their capital farther and farther west.
mis- means that the powers Will
have eastern China on their hands.
and they will sooner or later divide
it up. Germany will get Shan Tung
province and Pechili. besides. thus en-
tering into Great Britain's preserves
by the back door. Russia will take
what remains toward the north. Eng
land will probably abandon Wei-Hai-
Wei to Germany in exchange for some
thing more valuable. England will
also probably get Canton. Japan will
get nothing except Korea and the Unit
ed States will get nothing whatever.
"If Russia has really annexed any
land at Tientsin the cZar doubtless in
tends only to acquire space for for
ign settlement. Other foreign powers
have similar holdings in the same To-
cality."
