premises, ana, therefore, are willing to con-
cede that the exposure Of the Bureau OF

A Result of TayIorism.

Kentucky has added another piece Of
glory to her remarkable record Of law
Iessness DUNG the past year At Willard,
thirty miles south of Louisville, mine
boss and his wife were taken out into the
yard OF their house at midnight, by a mob
Of a hundred masked men, severely whip
ped, and ordered to leave town. The mob
then called at the residence OF another
man, but did not find him at home; and
his wife pointed pistol at them, daring
them 20 lay hands on her They left with
out harming the plucky women; which
shows about how much real determination
and courage it takes to iace such crowd
of lawbreakers. But what sort Of country
is It where a women-any woman-has to
know how to use pistol TO avoid being
maI,reated by crowd OF five score men?
The cause OF the treatment to which the
other victims were subjected IS not given
in the news dispatches, but that is i'm
material. The point to be considered is
this: No American man with a spark Of
decency In his composition has any bust
ness to be whipping women, whoeyer or
whatever they may be; and a place in
which large mob can be gotten together
for that purpose, on any pretext, cannot
be called civilized. II a woman breaks the
law she can be brought into court and
made to answer for her sins, the same as
a man; and she can be sent to prison for
Just as long a term as IL she were a man.
II she is not lawbreaker she is entitled
to the protection Of the law at all times
and in all places; and if chivalry has any
meaning whatever, it means that women.

Senator Jones automatically said that
he was going to New York for the purpose
of selecting headquarters fer the Eastern
branch Of the National Committee.
For several hours yesterday Senator
Jones was at the headquarters of the
Democratic Congressional Committee, in
consultation with Chairman Richardson.
Senator Jones said that he is confident
that Bryan and Stevens IN will be elected,
and he felt that the Republican Congress
sional Committee practically conceded
that the House of Representatives in the
Fh.y-seyenth Congress would be Demo-

MARINES FOE CHINA.
Number to BE Sent for Service There
peduceI.

The Navy Department has found ii i'm
possible to send 1900 marines to China, as
arranged recently at the instance Of the
President. To 90 this would dep,ete the
marine guards of every naval station and
nearly every ship. The corps has now
about 5000 enlisted men, and active efforts
are being made to recruit It to its full
strength of 5000 men. After carefully con-
sidering the matter, it has bsen decided by
the naval authorities and BrigadieT Gen
eral Haywood, the commandant Of the
corps, that only 3.0es meI will be available
for service in China, and enough will be
sent from this country &c augment the ma
rine force now on Chinese soil 10 that num-
her.
1t is probable that Col. William S. Muse,
commanding the marine barracks at the
Mare Island Navy Ycrd. Cal. will be seat
to China to succeed Colonel Meade in CON-
mand of all the American marines, but
there is no possibility that General Hey
wood may be sent TO command the marine
brigade. Friends Of General Haywood say
that if his preferences are consulted he wi !
90 TO China The argument in favor of
sending General Haywood is that with half
his men on Chinese soil 1t is his Place to
be with them, particularly as a brigade
calls for a commander of higher rank thsn
a colonel He is the only general in the
Marine Corps. and there is 10 authority OF
law for promoting some marine colonel TO
the grade OF brigadier general. One obtec-
ton to having only a colonel in command
Of the marines is that with thres brifa1:er
generals of the army in China the highest
marine officer will always be subordinate
to one of these. In this connection it is
said that General Heywood's preference for
duty in China is based on the assumption
that he would nc1 be subordinate to- any
American officers except Major General
ChafIee and Rear Admiral Remey. II is
not likely that he will be sent TO China,
however. The Navy Department considers
his services in Washington indispensable at
this time. His wide experience in the Ma
rine Corps makes him valuable adm MIS-
tratiVe officer and advisor. and the Navy
Department would miss his cooperation
exceedingly if he went out of the country.
Colonel Meade who. according TO Admi al
Remey. has been condemned b. a medical
board on account OF rheumatism ard o.
dered to the Mare Island hospital for tre-t
ment, has not been well for some time. and
it is said that he will cling TO active ssrT.ce
only through the exercise OF viii power.
Major Littleton W. T. Waller. who src-
ceeded Colonel Meade in command of the
marines in China is one of the junior OIL
mand to Major William p. Biddle, who ar
rived at Nagasaki on the traup=o-t Grant
Wednesday, in command of a battalion OF
marines When this battalion is landed at
Taku there will be about 700 marines on
Chinese soil. Five hundred more are On
their way from Washington to San Fran
cisco. and will sail thence for Taku in a few
DAYS Preparations to send the other SEQ

Circulation Statement.
The Alaskan Boundary Outrage.


Already aware that the surrender of
ta- strip of American Alaskan territory
80 Great Britain has excited indignation
n. only in the district stolen and coded
by the Executive, but throughout the
United States, the Administration is MAX
ing desperate efforts, through its news
paper organs, to create an impression that
the cession is not final, and that the area
of which the American people have been
robbed may be returned to them 1t is
evident that our authorities, and particu-
larry those of the State Department, are
worried over the tempest which this out
rage has raised. But they cannot calm it
by adding fresh mendacity TO the violated
original pledge that the modus vivendi was
but a temporary expedient and that mot
an inch Of American territory would be
surrendered in the final settlement. That
pledge has been hagrantly violated. The
present status of the matter is. that
so-called international survey has been
held, the line of the modus vivendi has
been made permanent and the British au-
thorities have been fixed in possession of
the ceded area They have erected their
boundary posts so as to include strip of
american national soil three hundred miles
long and twenty broad. They have es-
tablished their governmental control
within the boundary and the inhabi-
1ants of half a dozen American mining
camps in the surrendered area are de-
prived of their constitutional rights and
turned over neck and crop to the juris-
diction OF an alien State.
1t is all well enough to assert that this
act can be undone; but the Administration
knows that nothing Of the kind is feasible
or possible, and that the transfer, as part
and parcel of the secret deal between Mr..
Mckinley and the Marquis Of Salisbury is
and always has been intended to be final.
Otherwise the modus vivendi would have
been renewed as a temporary arrangement.
AS the matter stands Great Britain las
been placed in full possession, and can
never be ousted except through a resort
to force. The legal aspect Of the case
may be considerably affected by the prob
ability that even a Republican Congress
might hesitate to say that territory which
it took an act OF Congress to add to the
national domain. can be alienated and
its people expatriated by mere executive
action But the fact will remain that
Great Britain is in armed possession. and
that the American people have been robbed
and insulted in the transaction. Our i'm
perial Administration has something very
serious to answer for in this connection.
No wonder that it is afraid of even Con-
gress dominated by its own creaturesl

American Army Officers.

From the Kansas City St1r.)
1t Is really needless to defend the officers of the
United States Army against the charge that they
expose themselves in battle out Of sheer bravado
or 6ecause they are reckless. The officers Of the
United States Army do their duty in battle as
they are taught at West Point and ia the field,
which is TO take foolhardy. risks but to set az
example, to their men Of GOODNESS and courage.
1t seems to be forgotten that the older officers
ii the United States Army are nearly all sol
uiers Of the civil war and veterans Of the Indian
wars They have had great school Of actual ex-
perience.
It is not necessary for tine officers Of the Regular
Army to necdlessly expose themselves 10 prove
their bravery for they have never been accused
Of cowardice. As General Miles explains, their
conduct in the battlefield from Santiago TO Ten-
tsn has been TO do what is best, that is, not to
ne,dlessly sacrifice themselves and weaken the
command. but also 10 go where duty calls. There
are. Of course, exceptions TO all rules IS in the
case Of General Lawton, who was fatalist about
