Trouble In China.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The ca
blegram from the American Associa-
ton has been received at the State
Department. IL has not yet been acted
upon, but Is under serious considera-
lion. At first reading ii Is not clear
Just what connection exists between
the attitude OF the Chinese Empress
Dowager toward the reform element in
China and the open door" policy, in
which the United States, with the re-
mainder OF the civilized world, i5 in
terested. 1t is recalled, however, that
The Empress Dowager is prosecuting
with relentless hatred the reform par
ty. going so far as to resort to the bar
barous practice of offering large sum
CT money for the assassination of lead
ing reformers. This reform element in
China is believed to include nearly all
Of the Chinese who are disposed to ele-
waite China into a civilized nation, fol-
lowing in the footsteps of japan. They
realize that this can only be done with
the help of foreigners, and are there
fore disposed to the open door" as one
of the measures to liberaliZe and en-
Tighten China through the Introduction
CT foreign capital and foreign methods.
Il is assumed that the basis of this
scciation is an apprehension that the
Conservative party surrounding the
Empress Dowager, In satisfying their
animosity against the reformers, will
excite the dormant anti-foreign feeling
among the masses OF Chinese to a de-
gree that will make the open door"
impossible OF attainment.
II is a curious fact that our Minister
to China, Mr.. Conger, has so far made
no representations to the State Depart
ment touching this subject. He has
reported TO the Department that seri-
Gus attacks have been made upon the
American missions in Shantung by the
Boxers" a powerful and numerous
anti-foreign league OF Chinese. 1t Is
this same organization which has at
tackled some OF the French missionar-
les in that quarter of China and has
even carried operations to the very
doors OF Kiaochau. the German hold
ing in North China. Upon the Minis
ter's representation the State Depart
ment has decided that an American
warship shall be dispatched from the
feet at Manila TO the nearest conve-
nient port to the seat OF discord, prob
ably in this case Taku. at the mouth
of the Peiho river, OF Wei-Hai-Wei. 1t
Is expected. however, that the Chinese
Government will be able to repress
tn Boxers" without any action on the
part of the American warship.
II Is distinctly understood that this
little naval demonstration will have no
connection with the struggle now go
ing on between the Empress Dowager's
party and the reformers. for this may
be regarded as a matter Of purely in
ternal policy, with which our Govern
ment has no right to concern itself. II
IS probable therefore that this decision
on our part indicates the character OF

Fully 500 excursioners filled the

NEGRO COLONIZATION


cans-Two Thousand of Tn nm nport-
ed Into West Virginia.
Special to the Review.
Washington, July 25.-The Re-
publican party does not, or has NOT,
depended upon corruption fund
alone to carry West Virginia, but
has been at work for more than
eight months importing negroes
from the District of Columbia and
state Of Virginia for the purpose of
voting them.
More than 1000 negroes. have
been shipped into the state and
their transportation paid.
In 1896 your correspondent was
advised of the same scheme to
carry Maryland for Mckinley and
1t was done, and he has watched
thetrend of colonization for months.
While 1t Is ostensibly to work on
railroads 1t Is for voting purposes.
Not long since at a state dinner
in this city, railroad contractor
said to his neighbor, supposing all
present to be Republicans: 1--WE
have enough negroes in West Vir-
ginia already TO carry It,"
His neighbor was a Democrat.
The negroes shipped, as rule,
are the very dumbest kind, who can
be used at will.
In an interview with one of the
"to be imported" negroes, at the B.
& O. station, In this city, the ne
gro said he intended to vote In
West Virginia; that two years ago
he voted at Buffalo, N. Y.
It Is not thing of the past, but
each week sees cars leaving for
West Virginia conveying negroes.
This question has resolved itself
Into question of self-defense," I"
or self preservation, and the repub.
lican institutions must stand or fall,
and unless the people arise in de!
fense of the right, against the
schemes of the corporations, down
goes the republic and up springs
