Senator Chandler IS mistaken in saying
that the Democrats of Congress have

of the fifteenth amendment. In fact, !

more that not a single Southern Senator
would object TO such a move.
"As to Senator Chambers old hobby,
the basing Of representation upon the vote
and not upon the population, that would
never be passed. The people in a commu-

have to be represented and TeCkOned with.

advance has been more rapid than was
expected.
In the enthusiasm Of the moment re-
port got about that this vas the day for
the actual arrival at Pekin But the War
Department had not word Of the sd-
vance beyond Ho-sI-wu.
Viewed from any standpoint, the ad-
vance 10 Ho-si-wu was Of the utmost i'm
portance. not only strategically, but also
In showing that communication was open
back TO chefOO. that the expected opposl-
toa from Chinese hordes had not been
sufficient TO prevent the steady forward
movement. and IN the influence it would
exert upon the Chinese government.
~iew Means OF Communication.
Ho-Si-wu Is a place Of considerable size,
and the largest town between Tientsin
and Ching-chia-wan. Tung Chew is the
only other city Of considerable size in the
line OF advance after leaving Ho-si-wu.
II is surrounded by orchards and gardens.
and is not place likely to have afforded
opportunity for strong defense.
As it has taken five days for Gen. Chat
fee 20 report the advance to Ho-si-wu. II
IS evident that wire communication IS not
open to the front This was hardly to
be- expected, and the safe arrival OF the
message at least shows that a certain
measure Of communication is open.
one Of the chief sources Of congratuIa-
tion among officials is that the fancled
hordcs Of China have not materialized. or
AZ least have not prevented the interra-
tional column from drawing close to the
gates Of Pekin.
Shortly after this dispatch arrived, an
other message from Gen. ChaTee. far
more lengthy. gave the melancholy re-
suit Of the fight at Yangtsun The cas-
ualty list was given IN detail. with the ad-
ditonal information that the dead had
been buried at Yangtsun and that the
wounded had been sent back TO the hos
pital at Tientsin
Re-enforcements at Nagasnki.
The arrival OF the transport Sumner
at Nagasak was announced at the War
Department yesterday, and was hailed
with considerable satisfaction, owing to
the fact that the portion of the Fifteenth
Infantry which she carries will soon be
available TO re-enforee Cen. Chaffee The
large force Of surgeons, nurses. and hos
pital attendants on the ship also will be
a welcome addition to the hospital force
