CHINESE STILL DEFIANT.
reports That Indicate a Threatened
Resumption, of HOstiEisies.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-In the most eonser-
vative circles it is believed that further
serious trouble is brewing in China and
an outbreak at any time would cause com
paratively little sarprise here. The shang-
hal correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph" has cabled his newspaper that
lit is eredtbIy reported that the Empress
Dowager has teIegraphed a secret decree,
warning all Governors and Viceroys TO
prepare for immediate war against the al
lies everywhere"
This is followed by a somewhat alarm
ing telegram TO Berlin from Count Won
Waldersee, dated at Pekin, in which he
says tnat he has received advices from
Colonel Yorck's Corps, showing that the
Chinese General Ho, with 10000 regular
troops and much artillery. is near KaIgan,
prepared to resist eRergeticaIly a further
advance OF the expedition Colonel Torck,
therefore, Won Waidersees says. viii await
re-enforeements before attempting TO pro-
ceed.
L is advices of this character that lead
many expert observers Of the situation to
believe that the Chinese will soon endeav-
or TO renew their hostiIities toward for
eigners, or. at least to resist the expedi-
tons Of the allied troops. The procTasttna-
zion CT the Powers in dealing with the Ce-
lestlaI problem has been regarded as an ex-
h1DiiIon OF weakness on the part of the
civilized nations ard the Chinese are like
~ to make another desperate effort 10 ex-
pei the invaders at any time.
1t IS known that the preliminary demands
OF the Powers in regard TO the severest
punishment OF the high princes and off,
Gals who aided the Boxers during the re-
cent atrocities have enraged the Chinese
leaders and II is believed that those who
are likely TO suffer for the bloody uprising
have already sown the seeds of an exten-
sive plot for general uprising.
The edicts from the Court, designating
princes and leaders for degradation. i'm
prisonHent, etc, are not regarded here as
in the least sincere and there is the strong
est inclination to believe that the Chinese
have been merely temporizing all along and
taking advantage Of the delay occasioned by
the differences Of opinion among the Pow
ers.
The utmost concern is now felt for for
eigaers in ali parts Of the Empire and es-
pecialIy for detachments Of troops that may
chance to be isolated, If the threatened
outbreak occurs.

eraI family titles to which he lays claim.
His only travelling companions were II.
PaIenionge, an artist, and their man ser

and were among the first to leave the
steamship yesterday. Even the captain of
the French liner was in ignorance of the
identity of "Comte de NorRnte."
The count comes, it is said, to seek the
hand of Miss Lucille Bacon, the daughter
es Daniel Bacon, wealthy New Yorker.
When seen today the count refused to
discuss his reported engagement ID Miss
Bacon, or the object Of his visit to
America So much notoriety aceompa-
nicd the counts preparations fer his yoy-
age to America that he was persuaded
to forego the trip he had planned cn the

her mother He was credited with
having difficulty at the last moment 20

penses.
TIE count had been attentive to Miss

clared he would bring his wooing TO

Likely to Weld the GaveI in Names
Lower HOuse-
PORTLAND, Ne, Nov. 21.-The resigna-
ton of Joseph H. ManIey. as a member OF
the Republican National State Committee,
has set the political wiseacres talking.
Mr.. Manley has represented Kennebec
City on the State Committee for twenty
wears, has been a member of the Execu-
tive ub-Committee since 1882. and for If
teen continuous years acted as chairman
of the State organization No other man
in Maine since the days Of James G.
Blaine possessed the amount of political
inuffence Chairman Manley has held.
Mr.. Manlev is about to be elected
Speaker of the Maine House of Represen-
tatives. Long before the county eaueuses
it became known that he had an aspira-
ton to be Speaker of the Maine House.
The only politician who had the temeri-
" TO contest the party leaders claim was
Representative Merrill. of Skowhegan,
and he was effeetually shelved in his city
caucus in which the Manley influence was
strongly felt.
The only reason assigned for Chairman
Manley's resignation from the State Com,
nittee is that he thinks the speakership
will give him considerable work to attend
to and ne does not want to have the sp-
pearance Of being '.hoggish'' in the mats
ter OF the offcebuilding.
There is some talk that, in case Senator.
Frye should be given portfolio in PTesi-
dent MeKfnley's new Cabinet, Chairman
Man1ey might become a candidate for the
Senatorship.

of the War Tax which
Mas BE Taken OF.

m3y ne Eaken OH.
Representative Payne, Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means, announced
this afternoon at the conclusion of meet
ing of that committee that It was the
opinion OF the members present at the
meeting that a reduction OF the war tax
to the amount of about s36,O0O.o0O could
and should be made.
Mr. Payne said it had not been decided
what taxes would be reduced or in what
schedules the deepest cuts world be made.
He said also that it was not decided
whether the Republican members OF the
committee would Immediately take up the
separate schedules ana decide what redue-
tions il taxation shall be made or whether
they viii wait until the reassembling OF
Congress and confer with the Democratic
members Of the committee.
The decision announced by Representa-
tive Payne shows, II is said. that there
viii be q larger reduction in the taxation
imposed on account Of the war than was
supposed.
A few days ago Secretary Gage express
ed the opinion after a meeting OF the Cab
met that 2 reduction of about SI5, Goa, 00e
should be made. Yesterday the President
expressed the intention Of recommending
reduction of S2e, coo eco.
The Committee az today's session gave
consideration TO a petition from the grain
shippers and -four milleTs OF Chicago
through the secretary Of their oFganiza-
tion, B. A Eckart, asking for q reduction
Of the tax which weighs upon them. The
Committee has also received petitions and
memorials from every industry upon
which a tax is laid under the War Revenue
law asking for relief. The interests which
are especially demonstrstive in their ap-
peals for substantial reductions are the
brewers, druggists, cigar and cteroot
makers, tobacco dealers, and patent medi-
cine men

cause of the unusual stay Of the warm

vance IN Civilization
In a report to the Navy Department,
dated Pago Pago, October 81, Commander
B. F. TiHey, United States Navy, com
mandant of the station composed Of the
Samoan possessions Of the United States.
says that the people Of the islands are
peaceful, Industrious, and anxious TO i'm
prove themselves. Commander Filley
says:
1T is my wish to convey to the depart
ment a full knowledge of everything that
is transpiring in these islands and it is
most gratifying to be able to report tlat
peace and quietness prevail everywhere
among the natives and that they are be-
coming more Industrious and tractabIe
and are striving to rise to higher con-
dition- They are most obedient and re-
spectful even when I am obliged to refuse
their requests or to give decisions upon
various matters which are Disappointing
10 them.
Since my last report have visited the
islands of ofu and Olesiga, of the ManUa
group I found a good anchorage at both
isian0s and was most cordially received
by the natives.
Much attention is being given every
where TO the planting of cocoanuts and
bananas, and in some places cocoa trees
are being planted There will soon be a
large Increase in the productions of the
Islands. The amount OF copFa ALREADY. ex-
ported this year IS much larger than
usual.
The revenues of the islands thus far
amount to only about $3.50 per month
from customs dues and licenses issued to
traders and others, so that I am unable
70 make some much-needed improvements
III the roads and in the entrances
through the reefs into number of the
small harbors, for lack of funds. 1t would
give much encouragement to these people
II our Government would spend a few
thousand dollars in this way They have
no tools and are ignorant in regard to
the construction of roads and bridges. but
are willing to sive their Iabor.
l have refTained from putting any tax
upon them as they have contributed very
literally to the construction of schools
and churches, and, as yet, have not re-
covered from the effects of the war. I
think, however. that next year a tax of
about $4,000 can be collected from the ISL
ands without causing any hardship or
complaint among the people.
1.-THE climate of the islands has been
most delightful for the past six months,
and the general health of the people is
excellent. 1t is desirable that a little
money should be spent IL { the vii
