ers seriously contemplate the dismemberment
of the Chinese Empire. they have before them
the huge task of facing dense millions. who
although lacking training, and who make con-
temptible soldiers, possess boundless powers of
passive resistance. and would be able to wear
out the patience OF any European rulers seek
ing to govern them without regard to the
pretudices of the oldest civilization.
The conquest and division Of China would be
possible with hundred thousand troops, but to
retain the government would require a million
soldiers and centuries of work. The task would
end with the most unhappy results for both con-
quered and conquerors.
His Majesty and his advisers beg America and
Japan TO pause before resorting to dismember
ment, which be deferred at least until the
Emperors efforts TO govern his people and to
restore the happiness of this great division Of
the human race have proved abortive. If the
people are assured that the Powers guiding
and protecting His Majesty and do not intend TO
swallow the country piecemeal. they and the
soldiers will return unquestionably to the allie
glance from which the Empress diverted them

THE TALK OF ROOSEVELT.
PURPOSE OF THE MACHINE TO GET HIM
OUT OF THE WAY FOR MACHINE MAN
FOR GOVERNOR. MANY THINK

Although Senator Platt and other leaders Of
the Republican organization in New-York have
declared that Governor Roosevelt is not TO be
forced 10 take nomination for the vice-Prest-
dency the belief that ne will be nominated as
President McKinley's running mate is being ex-
pressed by many Republican politicians OF the
city who are close enough TO the leaders TO know
their secret plans
The politicians say. significantly, that if the
National Convention calls upon the Governor TO
be a candidate for the Vice-Presidency he can
not refuse Senator Platt has been saying the
same thing. He has said. too. that the New
York delegation may not agree upon any other
man as New-York's choice for the Vice Presi-
dency.
Some of the politicians familiar with the
views OF the leaders have been saying that
before the Republican National Convention
meets the Governor viii hear something that
will make him less inclined 10 refuse 10 be a
Vice Presidential candidate He will hear. it
is said, that an attempt his part TO dictate
to the organization what nomination he VIII
have will be displeasng to his party He will
hear. IL is said, that Republican leaders who
want him to run for the Vice-Presidency this
year would make his refusal TO run for the
office a reason for opposing his nomination for
the Presidency four years hence
Some Of the shrewdest of the politicians who
evident purpose of Senator Platt and leaders
close TO him is 10 force the Governor on the
National ticket. Not with any idea of helping
Mckinley. but in order TO get Roosevelt out OF
the way for the nomination of a man like Ben
jamin B. Odell, jr-. for Governor trusting such
a man could be elected Governor through the
support given TO the Republican ticket in a
Presidential year
Governor Roosevelt in this city a few
hours yesterday. but he would not talk about
the Vice-Presidency. He had luncheon with
some friends at the Union League Club among
them being General Francis V Greene. The
Governor is believed 10 be encouraging a move
ment to secure for General Greene the indorso-
ment OF the New-York delegation. The Brook
lyn boomers who are trying 70 get such In
dorsement for Northumberland WOodrun
have said they are not afraid OF General Greene
but Senator Plat said on Saturday that Gen.

Governor went TO Albany yesterday afternoon

ALL PRETENCE DROPPED.
THE DOWAGER EMPRESSS AVOWED
HOSTILITY TO FOREIGNERS

(BY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.1
London June H. / a. m.-London has been
severed temporarily from communication with
two centres of the most interesting news-Peking
and Pretoria. The Boxers like the Beers, have
cut the wires, and Tien-Tsin and Taku have not
known with precision what happening at
Peking, where the Imperial Government is CEN
suring the regular troops for offering resistance
to the rebels and complimentipg the fanatical
mobs for their patriotism and public. spirit in
killing foreigners and burning their property.
The force of over two thousand marines which
left Tien-Tsin Sunday and yesterday in
three trains is believed to have reached the
capital in safety The presence Of this force was
urgently needed for the Dowager Empress has
dropped all pretenceS and is in open sympathy
with the enemies of the missionaries and for
eigners. and all the mission property at Peking
is nenaoed with the fate of the American sta
ton at Tung-Chau, where the buildings have
been. destroyed and the native Christians nlur-
dered by the soldiers commissioned to protect
them.
1t is the story of Armenia repeated in Peking.
All Christian converts and foreigners at the
capital at the mercy of the mobs, well
as the regular soldiers. unless marines from the
thirty-one ships of war can protect them.
A reassuring feature of the situation is ap-
parent IN tne nedrtlneSS Win WnlCn the great
Powers cooperating in a determined effort
to protect foreign interests in China. The
United States Government is accepting It's re-
sponsibility for the lives and property of Ameri-
cans. and even the minor States like Denmark
adopting protective measures.
Reports that Russian troops have crossed the
frontier and that 5000 from the garrison
at Port Arthur preparing go to Peking
under arrangement agreed upon by the Euro
pean Powers not fully confirmed, but the
crisis is momentous that jealousies of the
suspicious European capitals may be overcome
and the nearest foreign army be dispatched to
Peking to avert a catastrophe of massacre and
rapne.
The London press is still steering cautiously
in fog without having any official bearings,
but there is a general agreement that the depo-
sition Of the ferocious Empress and the restora-
ton Of the weakling Emperor to power by the
common consent of European Powers is the
most practical expedient which can be adopted.
The opinion in diplomatic circles yesterday
was that japan would not object to the entrance
of Russian troops provided that other Powers
were allowed to cooperate in a military demon
stration l. n. +.
