AMERICAN FORCES ENGAGED.

The number Of Americans engaged in the bat

and marines that had arrived at Tien- -Tsin ex-
cept the 9th Cavalry which was left at that
place doing guard duty and awaiting the arrival
Of its horses zone instament of which had ar
rived at Taku on the Conemaugh before the dis
patch wrttten), and the recruits that sailed
on the transport Grant. The American troops
engaged, therefore, were the efectves OF Reiily's
light battery, the 9th Infantry, two battalions
Of the 14th Infantry and the marines The re
cruits may have been distributed among the
infantry battalions whose ranks had been
thinned by disease. The fact that ReilIy's bat
terry came up in time to take part in the battle
was especially gratifying to the War Depart-
ment officials who have cause to remember the
magnificent service It rendered in the Philip
pines.
REPORTS OF DISCORD PROVED UNTRUE.
One of the most gratifying features Of the
dispatch next to that announcing that Minister
Conger was safe as recently as July 2S, was the
statement that the plan Of advance and battle
had been arranged in conference OF the inter
national commanders. This is indubitable evil
dence that all the commanders are cooperating
heartily and effectively to attain the same OBJ
feet, and again brands as untrue the repeated
assertions contained in press dispatches from
OndnBnhl, tne-fOO ana Iien-TSin, to the effect
that discord and jealousies prevailed among the
commanders and that no concerted advance OF
all the forces would be possible until the several
Powers should have agreed on Il supreme"
commander to lead the expedition. These stories
have not been credited by the higher officials
OF the Government here but have. nevertheless
been extremely annoying TO them.
In one Of the press dispatches published re-
Gently there was graphic recital OF the riotous
luxury in which the military commanders at
Tien-Tsin were said TO be living without giving
a moments thought to the serious work set for
them to do or trying 10 agree among them
selves as tc how IT should be done. And now
come official dispatches showing that these same
commanders were all the time busy and diIgent
IN making preparations which were absolutely
necessary before an advance could be begun;
that perfect harmony and hearty cooperation
existed among them; that after the prepara-
tions had been so far completed as TO justify
an advance. they agreed among themselves on a
plan Of operations. and that animated by a
common desire and purpose, they proceeded to
carry IL out. and. according to the dispatches
thus far received. did successfully And

The young man was about to make a

Taxation.

Tax pergonal property and you make
it more difficult for the people to get
hold Of it, for in addition to driving it
out Of your community you raise the
price and diminish the opportunities of
the common people to obtain the nec-
essaries of life. Tax land values and
the land will remain in the same place,
of course, with this vast additional ad-
vantage that the selling price will be
reduced and even the most humble cit
izen will be enabled to secure resting
place and home.
