The Next Question.
Having secured this dispassionatc

Hhe first suggestion is to send great

plum to me--that with any armed force
there Should so also ii civil officer or Off.
ccrs,anen Of the very highest ability and
intelligence. That would afford an op.
portunity to learn whether there was amy
Aced "a fighting. The purposes and the
pAliey on each side could be made plain,
aid there could be an intelligent under
standing Of each other before recourse
to bloodshed
sIhe Chinese are a strange people,
Viewed FROM your western standpoint,
and when they are approached by man
with q gun it is not quite as easy TO Sc.
cure their confidence and reach an intelli
gent BASIS of action with them as it would
be Ii the advance was made by an un.
armed civilian, giving and asking good
faith. Such an official would be of in
valuable service just now in learning the
actual fact in placing the responsibility,
In ascertaining the purposes of the Chi
xlese government and in letting the Chi.
1lese government thoroughly understand
the unselfish and high minded purposes Of
the United States.
III have constantly advised the govern
ment at Peking of this unselfish attitude
OF the United States, but it is another
thing to make this perfectly plain in the
present emergency, and no one could do
this better than the civilian official sug-
gested."
The minister also emphasized the fact
that China did not want war, and he
pointed out that this attitude was made
plain by the edict of June 30, in which
great stress was laid on China's unwill-
ingness to be brought into contest with
the powers and her realization that such
result would be disastrous. The min
lister regards this as the only tangible
evidence of China's policy and proof posi-.
tive that China is against war at this
time.

1T seems that during the conference

"There was then nothing for the other:

AS matter of fact, as has already
been pointed out in these dispatches, the
only thought for the moment of the pow.

most striking and effective.
The news of the success of the allied
forces at Tien-tsin, though that success
has been dearly bought, appears to clear
the air somewhat. This victory over the
Chinese, it is hoped, will enable the allies
to resume preparations for an advance.
especially as it is officially announced
that the japanese force of $4,000 will

The suggestions of scattering the forces
throughout China in pursuit of the Box.

quarters. In official circles there is
full realization of the necessity of having

POLAR DOG TRUST.

London.-The latest form OF trust is
that OF polar dogs. According to Sir
Clements Markham. President of the
Royal Geographical Society Ameri-
cans are responsible for forcing such
corner OF these animals that the pend
ing British and other Arctic exped!-
tions are confronted with difficulty
nearly as great as the Ice fields.
II appears that f. X. Baldwin, the
American explorer, has bought up
such a large supply Of dogs that their
price has risen from SIS to $50 and they
are hard to procure even at that price.
Captain Bernier, the Canadian ex-
plorer hopes to get out OF the dilemma
by taking young dogs and training
them on the voyage. What the two
British antarctic expeditions will do,
Sir Clements Markham does not know.
Mr.. Baldwin says he has not more dogs
than he needs. He foresaw the scarcity
and bought early.
