WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Something
is slowly evolving out Of the Chinese
tanRle, but I don's know what it ia nor
does anybody else, there being Ia
inevitable scarcity OF reliable large
calibre prophets In Washington this
season-and those there are, being busy
on campaign work. Butaby the cor
respondenoe with Germany, made
public lsts tonight, IL seems We are
NOS in accord with her proposition to
call for the surrender of Mrs. Empress
Tsi-an and her crowd for punishment
as . preliminary to negotiations. That
IL what the demacd really amounts to,
and It is a large order.
There are 400 900, 600 people in
Chins-nomiually, at least, although
q few odd millions can be safely deduc-
ted In view OF the fact that there
never WAS Q cepsus-and 10 10 bad
policy to reduce them TO . state OF
anarchy by removing their only respon-
sible governments. No doubt the lady
richly deserves q variety Of punishments
but as Cleveland once eaid sit ia q
condition and not Q theory which con-
fronts" Instead of following the
German idea We propose TO leave the
head of the government on her should
ere, and make her prune the gentle
men who were her ad visers. Which is
much more practicable. Probably we
can gradually transfer power from her
to the emperor in time, but At present
''she is the only man Ia China
OUR ASIATIC FLEET.
Also We propose to withdraw our
troops to Manila, leaving only q police
force, strengthening our navy in east
ern waters As the same time. We al
ready have % vessels OF importance out
there, not counting the busy little gun
boats that are keeping Br'er Aguinaldo
up nights, and We have ordered out the
Kentucky, the big new battle ship; the
Albany, the new English built cruiser;
the Wilmington, which WAS built ex-
pressly for Chinese river work; and the
Annapolis and Vicksburg. email gun
boats. The Oregon, somewhat dilapi-
dated but still In the ring, is there now
and SO Is the Brooklyn-bosh
veterans Of Santiago. Also there
are the monitors Monterey
and Monadnook. which are the strong
est vessels in the world for their own
line of uork All in oil 10
have enough to make it exceedingly
for our white and semi
white European brethren in case of a
sudden emergency. An an army offic-
er told me: "If the czsr or kaiser has
any intention OF making stepping
stones Of our dead selves to better
shines, it's up to him to ring off,"
Which is.likely the fret time In history
those three phrases ever came out to-
Eether.

predicts the end of the. whole thing
TO be the annexation OF Manchuria to
Russia and the rehabilitation of the
rest Of China under q native govern

under foreign supervision-enough to
pay off indemnities. And 1 give 1t, as

GALVESTON AID.

Army, started . subscription for the |

THE COAL STRIKE
The anthracite strike in Penpsyl. |

partly by sending up the price of

Whatthe effect will be, rather bothers |

coming to US about Pennsylvania coal
trikes. 1t may be merely q coipci-
