II war exists In China, growing out
Of the destruction ~ the United States
and other legations. it viii b. necessary
10 send more troops 10 China.
Owing TO conditions In the Philippines
but few troops can b. withdrawn safely.
Therefore il will require authority from
congress to furnish troops.
IL is quite certain the reconvening Of
congress has been discussed. but none Of
the officials will admit.
The situation may change az any mo.
ment and the first adyices from Pekin
will undoubtedly decide whether the
immediate future will bring peace or
war.
There are two possible causes for war
in the situation. One is the destruction
81 the American legation and the muir.
dering of the American minister The
other is the action Of the commander at
Taku who ordered his men 70 firo ON the
international fleet.

PUERTO RICAN TARIFF.
Attempts to Unite the Aepublicans in
the Senate Has Failed.

NEW YORK, March IA special TO
the Herald from Washington says:
All attempts to unite the republican
forces of the senate on a compromise
Puerto Rlcan bill have thus for failed.
Senator AIdrich and other members
Of the steering committee are trying to
bring about an agreement but Senator
Foraker is still unwilling to go any
furthen than to accept an amendment
allowing all the food products to be
imported into Puerto Rico from the
United States free Of duty. He is not
inclined to yield the management Of
his bill to the steering committee.
He thinks that when he and his COM
mittee have decided upon a measure
as proper they ought not TO yield their
judgment to senators who have not
given the matter the same amount Of
consideration.
Senator Aldrich is still hopeful that
some compromise may be reached and
he is anxious to bring it about, If pos
sible, before he leaves for Cuba, about
the middle Of the week.
The plan Of compromise advocated
by some senator's is TO have the pend
ing bill amended by cutting the tariff
entirely loose from the general govern
ment bill and attaching 1t to the Puer-
to Rican relief appropriation, but so
amended as to permit all imports from
the United States into Puerto Rico free
Of duty and to reduce the duty on Puer-
to Rican goods imported into the Uni
ted States, below the proposed Is per
cent of the Dingley rates.
This. it is contended, would still
preserve the principle at the bottom of
the pending bill and would enable test
case to be made before the supreme
court to determine the question as to
the power Of congress to Impose duties
on commerce between the United States
and the insular possessions.
One of the arguments against ac-
eepting the proposition is that it would
weaken the contention so strenuously
made by the republicans in the house
that the tariff was needed to supply
revenue for the insular government. 1t
is pointed out that if no duty whatever
should be collected at the Puerto Ric-
an end and If the rate at the United
States end should be reduced below Is
per sent the bill would yield so little

Of those low hills by the river 1t looks
like one OF the great fairs OF Southern
Russia. No man could paint that pic
ture and paint into it the sense Of war.
Even the bugles which cry to each 9TH
er down there about the fires have no
stern hardness in them-no song OF
death. There is not in all those miles
the dimness Of one bead Of dew But It
is the plague OF dust and flies that
make life so unbearable." From Mod
der river. Mr.. Battersby writes:
When the first shot was fired across
, the Modder river the land was green in
its way. 1t had at least on it a make
believe grass. a sparse, dried, untooth.
some looking herbage, which man ana
beast accepted as fodder, Now it is
blazing red waste of sand. The waste
extends, the sand is intensified as regl-
ment is added to regiment. battalion TO
battalion battery to battery, troop TO
troop. The dust which was once a nui-
sanee. is now little less than a plague
1t is always being stirred-by the
strings of horses on their way TO water
ing, which pass aud repass to the river
almost every hour OF the day, by ;he
kicking. squealing droves Of transport
mules, and by the long spans OF oxen."
But the dust devils are little more
than an amusement to our dust-ridden
souls. 1t is the dust which comes, not
in daily spirals, but in overwhelming
clouds, that We fear; which hides, not
a tent here and there, but the entire
camp. the roof Of heaven, all vestige
of the world. which blinds the eyes and |
brings blood to the eyelids, fills the |
mouth with its gritty foulness and |
coats every inch OF the body with a |
film Of brown: which lasts not for a
few clustering moments, but for hour
after hour of. unrelieving discomfort,
during which it is impossible to ride,
to write or to forgive ones enemies.
Well. We shall have, please heaven, but
few more days of it now.
AFTER the duSt, ana out snort way |
after-tbe flies. One used to think, as
a child. besides the lice and the blood
and the blains that the Egyptians were
let Oft rather lightly with flies. A short
stay by the Modder river alters that
opinion. The tent is black with them,
the jam pots hum under the hands that
Tits them from the table and the flies
pour out between ones fingers like
black spouts of water. They follow the
ink as one writes and the pen is clogged
with their severed feet. Beyond doubt
1ne did the Egyptians an injustice.
But with the dust and the flies trou-
Dles cease. Against them must be set
the magnificent sunlight day after day,
the clear cool nights and the plentitude
of the air.
