Paris, July 29.-President Loubet, on a
proposition from the minister Of war, has
Just signed series of DEGREES, reforming
and recognizing the superior council of
war and certain departments of the war
Office. The first decree appoints four lieu
tenant commanders to the army corps,
namely: Generals De Saucer, Tanshor,
Ladron and Tisseyre, thus modifying a
former decree of General de Gallifet, ac-
cording to which all the members OF the
council of war, instead Of residing in
Paris, are bound to be commanders OF the
amy corps and consequently are required
to reside at the headquarters OF their corps
The second decree makes several changes
in the war office, including the appoint
ment of General Lejoinere as director OF
the infantry in place OF General Millet
who replaces General Tanshot as COM
mander OF the division of infantry.
The third decree appoints General Flor.
onton as military governor of Paris, sue
ceeding General Brugiere, who, when ap-
pointed on July as president of the coun.
Gil of war, expressed desire to devote his
entire time to his new duties.
The fourth decree replaces General Ne.
girls, who, year ago, was relieved by
General de Galliet, having issued an i'm
prudent order of the day.

New York, July 3O.-Sheridan p. Reed,
ex-consul at Tientsin, says:
"When the allied relief forces reach Pc.
kin | think they may find the capital de-
serted by the court and the ENJOYS gone.
1t is not unlikely that the empress, and
possibly the emperor, have fled with their
court under the escort of Manchu banner
men from Pekin to Snan Flu, taking with
them the ministers at least as hostages and
leaving the other foreigners in Pekin to
horrible fate. If the ministers are be-
ing held as hostages and are being re-
moved to the remote inland city of Sinan
Flu, place more difficult to reach, it is
necessary that the Chinese should put
forth all their finesse and cunning to con-
ceai this move until they are safe across
the mountains
'o.nan Flu was capital of China in
ancient times. 1t is situated on the SO.
called Marcopolo' road. The only way
i. could be reached would Be by way OF
the Yang Use from Hankow up the Han
river and Tan river valleys. This would
be most herculean task. Sinan Flu is
larger and cleaner than Pekin. Like all
Chinese cities it is massively walled"

En.perOr williams Address.

Berlin, July 3O.-Emperor Williams adj
dress to the soldiers comprising the CHINA
expedition forms the subject OF general
discussion. The emperors instructions to
SPARE no Chinese and make no prisoners
are condemned by nearly everybody one
meets and also by the press.
The Lokal 1Anzelger pretends that the
emperor did not mean what his words I'M
Piled; but that he. merely wished to eau
ton the members Of the expedition that
they would meet foe who does not spare
and makes no prisoners. out nearly all
the other papers, commenting on the
emperor's speech, strongly argue against
it, .-e Tageblatt, in specially caustlt
manner, reminding the emperor that telling
his soldiers to carry civilization into China
and in the same breath enjoining them
to deal with ferocious severity there do moi
tally. Besides, the paper argues, the EN-
peror has no right to so instruct the eXpedl
ton, because the expedition will form
mand OF chief of some otner nationality
whose instruction solely they must obey
The paper maintains that 1.-THE em
perors behavior is likely to split up tht
harmony OF the powers, as doubtless som'
Of the powers will not agree to the EN-
perors Instructions"
several papers draw parallel between
this latest speech by Emperor William
and one he delivered in 1898, defeating t.
the Redeemer the church at Jerusalem, OF
which occasion the kaiser preached tn
gospel OF Christian long suffering towar'
all nations.

TRADE REPORTS.

New York-Bradstreet' report for
the past week says:
Important changes in trade and spec
ulation are notably hacking this week
but counter currents of demand in var
ious sections and industries lend a
rather more than usually irregular ap-
pearance to the general situation.
Among the notable features calling for
notice are the practical assurance Of
an immense corn crop by the recent
copious rains in the further west, the
continued cheerful reports from the
sections which have gathered and are
now gathering a large winter wheat
CROP advices of continued improvement
in tone in the northwest, with reports
of renewals of earlier Cancelled orders
for fall goods, fairly satisfactory gains
in gross railway earnings, less weak
ness in prices of the country's leading
cereal products, based apparently on
renewed buying for export and rather
more inquiry for raw wool by manu-
facturers.
Unfavorable elements in trade prob
ably find their chief and greatest ex-
position in the iron and steel business.
That industry is, If possible, more de-
pressed than at any time for three
years past, and expectations that price
declines will be checked by the arrival
of finished matter at cost basis have
been disappointed, because this week
steel bars have been sold in some In
stances at one cent per pound, which Is
unquestionably below the basis of the
cost of raw materials and manufacture.
That a large tonnage of this material
and southern pig iron has been worked
off seems certain, but it is still a buy
er's market, with everything that this
implies.
Export business would undoubtedly
expand If ship room were available.
Among other metals tin is locally lower
on freer arrivals, after touching the
highest price in 20 years.
Rather more inquiry for wool at east
ern markets is sign of manufacturers
getting ready for the lightweight sea
son.
Wheat (including four) shipments

els, against 3,029, 1881 bushels last week
