London, Aug. 9.--Lord Roberts fears
that the Glands river garrison has been

General Lacuna. who was in command

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
There Is work Ahead 10 Hold the
Fifty-seyenth House.

The chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, the Hon, Jo-
seph w Babcock of Wisconsin, under
estimates neither the Importance nor
the difficulty of securing an adequate
Republican majority in the next house
Of representatives, says the New York
Sun.
That Is the proper attitude for a
campaign executive who has ahead of
him such job as now engages Mr..
Babcock's interest and energies.
The margin of control In the present
congress Is none too large for com
fort. The capture of the Fifty
house by the party of Bryan and
Aguinaldo would be national misfor-
tune only second to the defeat of Nc
kinney and Roosevelt.
The Democrats possess great ad-
vantage in the positive assurance In
advance of q solid block of 100 repre-
sentatives from the southern states.
To secure majority In the next house
they Will have to elect only 50 addi-
tional members, and to acquire these
50 members 1t Is not necessary to carry
a single northern state for the presi-
Dental ticket New York, for example,
might go for Mckinley by a large ma
jority and yet send II or more Demo-
Gratis to the house, and so on through
out the north.
In the absence of third presiden-
al lob ft, IfIyaIu fhAaa
mics of the administration who style
themselves antl-imperialists will con
centrate their efforts upon the close
congressional districts throughout the
country. That is to say, they will
throw their votes and whatever infu-
ence they can exert in a close district
In favor Of Democratic candidates
without regard to the financial ques-
ton. They will pretend that the first
duty is to save the republic from Elm
perialism, militarism and destruction"
With or without this factor there Is
hard fight ahead in every close dis
trict in the country. Republicans who
do not want the Republican admins
tration to be blocked, hampered or en-
barrassed in 1902 and 1908 by hostile
majority in the house of representa-
tives and business men who do not de-
sire to see the tide of Organism rise In
any branch of the government had
better not take too much for granted.
Mr.. Babcock Is right. Republicans
should be up and doing in every con-
gress district not hopelessly Demo
cratic.

"The Chinese were forced 10 retreat,

Several other dispatches are printed,
giving hearsay accounts of Sundays bat

"The fighting lasted seven hours, and
the allies when my report left were pur-
suing the Chinese. but owing 70 the floods

Only a small garrison, with ii guns,

Washington. Aug 0-How to relieve
Minister Conger in Picking and avoid
war with China are the problems pre-
scented to the administration by the re-
cent startling events in the orient.
As a result of the consultations yester-
day it was announced officially that
message to the Imperial government in
Picking had been delivered to Minister
WI for transmission to his government.
The text OF the message WAS prepared by
Acting Secretary of State Adee and See
rotary Root and in its fnaT form was
made known to the president in talk
conducted by AR. Root over the White
House long distance telephone. 1t then
was announced definitely that the author
titles of this government would not make
public the text of this latest communica-
ton to China till Minister Wa had had
opportunity to forward it to his govern
ment.
Still, it is known that the message is a
remonstrance and protest against sit
uation which has grown intolerable
through the failure of China to fulfill her
treaty obligations.
The state department also sent cipher
cable message to Minister Conger, re-
sponsve to his message made public
Tuesday night and intended TO test the
assertion of the Chinese edict that free
cipher communication would be allowed.
The facts presented by an edict grant
