Washington. June C.--Bad news con-
tinues to come from Minister Conger
and the American naval force in the
Pei Ho river has been ordered to lie
reinforced. The minister cabled that
the situation was worse at Pekin. and
this statement, taken in connection
with Admiral Kempff's alarming ca
blegram of Tuesday, announcing that
en- engagement had begun, decided the
state department to strengthen the
naval forces nearest the scene of
trouble. Accordingly, cable gram was
sent to Admiral Remey, at Manila, d-
lecting him to dispatch at once to Adj
miral Kempff's command the gunboat
Helena. or, ii that craft is not at Ma
Mia and ready for immediate service.
then some craft of corresponding light
draft and power. The purpose IS TO
place at Admiral KenIpff's disposal an
efficient warship capable of ascending
the Pei Ho river as far up rs Tien Tsin.
Admiral kempff's flagship, the New
ark, drawing 2feet of water, can not
ascend the river safely beyond the
Taku forts near the entrance, but the
little Helena, drawing only II feet, can
safely ascend to Tien Tsin, 40 miles
above.

CHANGES IN THE CABINETS.

CHANGES IN THE CABINETS.
It is said that at the first meeing of
the cabinet held after the November
election President Mckinley invited
every member to remain with him dur
ing the next four years. Rumor had
anticipated the retirement, for personal
reasons of several secretaries but the
presidents thoughtful act at least fore
stalls the formal designations which
would otherwise be offered at the begin
ming Of new term, and gentlemen who
would gladly lay aside official respon-
sibility may be persuaded to yield their
own wishes.
Up to the present time there have
been six changes in the cabinet, Secre-
taries Gage, Long and Wilson being the
only ones remaining of those who took
Office when the administration began.
In the cabinets of the six presidents who
have served two consecutive terms there
have been sixty changes, an average of
ten to an administration.
In Washington's cabinet there were
but four men, for the postmaster general
was not counted member until Jack
sons time. The first secretary of the
navy was appointed by John Adams;
the Office of the secretary of the interior
dates from Taylor's administration, and
that of secretary of agriculture from
Cleveland's first term. But Washing.
toms cabinet of four suffered seven
changes. Not one of his original ap.
pointees continued in the Office to which
he was first appointed to the end of
Washington's second term.
Jefferson's g secretaries of state and of
war served the full eight years, but in
the other three departments there were
six changes. Madison had four secre.
taries of the treasury and as many
secretaries of war, and there were
twelve changes in all. Monroe retained
three of his cabinet ministers during
both terms, and made only four changes.
But Jackson-who, by the way, had
five different secretaries of the treasury
made thirteen changes, and President
Grant made no less than eighteen.
The Companion recently mentioned
the interesting fact that President Pierce
was the only president whose entire
original cabinet survived through one
administration. The wonder is that
changes are not more frequent than
they are. Yet it is we'll for us that able
and public spirited men can always be
found, willing to sacrifice health, COM
fort and their private interests in posi-.
tions that use no measurable reward
