British ships and forces would assist tho
Viceroys but must limit their undertakings
to the defense of Shanghai. The government
had thought il wise to order a third brigade
from India, in readiness for possible emer-
gencies.
The cabinet, Mr.. Brodrick said, was COM
pletely unanimous against partition of
China, which would be fraught with in
finite danger, and the government had no
reason to believe they were at variance
with any of the European powers in that
respect. Further, the government would do
nothing to set up anything but a Chinese
administration in China. The government
had not In contemplate the idea of or
ganizing the Chinese army under foreign
ofhcers. What form the indemnity should
take must be left for future consideration
Mr.. Brodrick thought 1t was a time when
the less said the better. Great changes
might result from the recent calamitous
events, but he hoped the European powers

Opinions on the Presidents Rejection
of Chinese Proposal.
The National Zeitung, in a leading article
on America in China" says:
"If the movement on Pekin has now
really begun. America undoubtedly deserves
great credit. Immediately after the first
direct news from Mr.. Conger, the United
States minister, was received-a communi-
ca ation firmly regarded at all times in Wash
ington as AUTHENTICATE. Hay insisted with
ali earnestness that Mr.. Conger's cry for
help absolutely demanded speedy relief. 1t
Secretary of State entertained the thought
of sending a purely American expedition to
Pekin, II necessary"
The paper is gratifled at President Nc
Kinley's refusal to accept Ii Hung Chang's
offer to deliver Mr.. Conger If the American
expedition is countermanded 1t thinks,
however, that Washington's China policy
has been wavering, and it explains this as
due to the exigencies of the presidential
campaign and to the presence of the Chi
nese themselves in the United States.
The Kreuz Zeitung has an article on the
same subject. Assuming that the United
States is still ready to mediate, this journal
remarks:
coup II President McKinleys administra-
ton could come forward as the preserver
Of the worlds peace. With it's separate
role the administration would draw nearer
the goal which American conceft of great
ness is already striving for-namely, Ameri-
can hegemony in the Pacific. This goal Is
not one to be reached easily, but the pros
pect can do President McKinley's party
good service in the coming election"

ROUGH RIDERS FOR CHINA.
Hopes Entertained That n Regiment
VIII BE Formed.

A special dispatch from Phoenix, Arizona,
in todays New York Tribune says:
Strong hopes are entertained in Arizona
that a new regiment of Rough Riders will
be summoned in the impending call for
troops for service in China. 1t is believed
that three regiments of cavalry should be
formed. and that the southwest should have
the organization of at least one of the three.
Nearly all the local members of the old
regiment express themselves eager to join
the force If they can be attached to a sue
cessor of the old organization. The regi-
ment of Rough Riders, officially known as
the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry,
was recruited mainly in Arizona, New Mex
leo, Indian territory and Oklahoma. Ii is
probable each territory would be willing and
competent to fill the regiment by itself.
A number of officers would be missing.
1t is probable that Lieut.. Col Brodie.
wounded in the arm at GuisimaS, would be
willing to accept the colonelcy. OF the
old staff Adjutant Keyes is dead, killed in
the Philippines. Quartermaster Coleman is
brigade quartermaster in Manila. Chap
lain Brown is an army chaplain, stationed
in Porto Rico. The ranking captain, O Neill,
was killed in Cuba. The next in seniority,
Capt. McClntock of Arizona, is incapac-
itated by an ankle wound got at Guisirnas
The third captain, Houston of Oklahoma,
died last month in Manila, and Capt. Luna
of New Mexico was drowned lately in
river passage in the Philippines. where he

Capron was killed at Guisimas.
Capron's successor, Capt. Day of Com

across the Pacific. and Lieut.. Griffin is a
first lieutenant in the same regiment. Lieut..
Green Of Company G is now a captain in
the 10th Infantry, in the chase after Agui-
naldo. Capt. Curry of Troop H, New Mex
ico is "a district marshal in Luzon. after
service as an officer in the 11th Cavalry.
Lieut.. Ballard of Company H served In the
11th, but had to resign his commission and
return because of fever caught at Santiago.
Lieut.. Wientge of Troop is dead from Gu
ban fever. Lieut.. Horace Devereaux of
Company was badly wounded in the arm
and Is probably out of the service for good.
Lieut.. John r. Thomas of Company L is a
regular army lieutenant in Manila, and
Lieuts. Hayes and Nichols have also re-
ceived commissions. Lieut.. johnson has
lately been commissioned in the volunteers
Assistant Surgeon Church has similar bill
let in the regular army. The rank and file
not only lost heavily in Cuba, but the

listed men were reported at the Rough

A Political boomerang.
the Editor of The EYeninr Star.

The Evening Star deserves the thanks
of every self-respecting negro for It's ex-
posure of the Inconsistencies and weak
nesses of the movement to disfranchise the
negro In North Carolina. At present writ
ing the movement seems to have been sue
cessful, but such a triumph as that won
yesterday, under circumstances more be-
fitting semi-civilized, and barbarous than
a Christian and enlightened nation like our
own, is but temporary. There are inherent
evidences that the contest just closed
marks the turning point in the conspiracy
to nullify the fifteenth amendment which
began ten years, ago in Mississippi. When
a United States senator has not the free
dom of speech in his own state, especially
on the eve of a presidential struggle. dur
ing which the question of national control
may depend on one electoral vote. such an
incident commands universal attention
and, given the opportunity and the mower
may determine effective political action
that may react on the heads of those who
precipitated it. The next session OF Cono
gress is morally sure to do several thtnpsN
reduce representation in the electoral col
lege. enact another federal election law and

LAUGHED At THE IDEA.
Anarchists Thus Reply when Asked il
Sorry for Brescis Deed.

Several hundred anarchists held a meeting
in Bartholdi Hall. at Paterson, N j. last
night, for the purpose of discussing the sit
uation in Italy. There were many French
men, a number of Spanards and few Aus
trians in the assemblage, which consisted
for the most part of Italians
Pasqualle Frank presided. At the opening
ne denounced the newspapers In general
and claimed that they were misrepresenting
the anarchiSts. He said the papers made
anarchists Sht as bad men and pictured
them in revolving actions He said this was
untrue and that anarchists were the same
other people.
Pedro Esteve. the Spanish leader and edi-
tor of Paterson anarchist publication.
was the principal speaker of the evening
He discussed the situation in Italy from his
own standpoint. claiming that the govern
nsent was bad to the core. He said the poor
people OF the nation were oppressed and
overburdened by taxes, and because of the
latter the poor people could not stay in the
country. He reviewed the work of the So
cialists in Italy. and claimed that their pro-
paganda had done no good. Their inten-
tions might be well, but their methods were
not productive OF results. He said thai
Italy's only hope was in the anarchists
They had no secrets he said, and took no
part in plots. He said they did not select by
lot or otherwise any person to KILL
Bresci he said, had not been sent to kill
tHe hllis ne UlQ the act OF his own free will.
An anarchist was free to do as he pleased
An anarchist, he said, might decide in his
own mind to kill a king and know when he
had done It that he would have to give his
life for II. but he would give his life gladly.
Bresci. he said. had killed the king and he
was glad, although he knew he would have
to suffer for his act. Esteve said that he was
not sorry. He asked II any one present was
sorry. This was greeted with laughter and
applause.
Speeches were also made by Pedro Mo-
resi-. Francis Widmer and A Aimore each
saying that there had been no plot for the
killing Of the king
RESOLUTIONS were adopted as follows:
we here assembled intend to state that
Brescfs deed was the result of present So
ciai state Of affairs, and therefore we are f..
trying to establish one where violence
would not be possible
We deplore as foolish the idea that there
could have been or existed a plot in this
city tPaterson). and protest against those
who attribute 1t to and are trying to make
the Italian colony of Paterson Responsible
for Bresci's deed"

In the house Of commons yesterday Mr..

were now at Tien Tsin they were not yet
fully armed and equipped. AS far as he
was able to judge at present there was no
lack of cooperation among the command
ers and no avoidable delay.
In giving the daily record Of steps the

that on July the government profrered
financial assistance to Japan with the spe-
cial object Of relieving the legations. The

Das Neue Blatt, and while the singer

and angrily turned 10 the singer.
