financial sacrifice. Still, Mr.. Griggs re-
piled in terms OF warm appreciation 10
the complimentary remarks OF the Presi-
dent and voiced intention of retiring
from his present position.
This is not the first time that the Presi-
dent has expressed to the members OF the
Cabinet his pleasure at the support they
had given him. He said as much in gen.
eral way at the last Cabinet meeting when
the members, several of whom had been
scattered by the political campaign, got
together for the first time and congratu-
lated him upon the outcome of the cleo
ton. To-day the President evidently had
prepared for the occasion and in his ad-
dress reviewed the work of the administra-
ton In the past four years-four of the
most exciting years the country had known
In three decades. 1t was rather a surprise
even to the Cabinet members themselves
to note how accurately the President had
fixed in his memory the sequence of evenSs
and how calmly he reIinquished the per-
sonal credit for successful strokes of policy
or prudence and attributed the honor to
the members of his official family in whose
immediate department the matter in ques-
ton had arisen.
The President said that If the result of
the recent election was an Endorsement of
his administration. il was no less an in
dorsement of the men who had stood by
him in the time of stress and adversely.
The credit for success. he said. lay with
the heads Of his various departments, and
he should shrink from entering on another
four years of office unless he could be as
sured that he would have with him a ma
jority at least of the men who formed his
official household. He said that he knew
that in asking them &c remain with him
there was scarcely one who could do so
without some sacrifice, either of money,
leisure or personal inclination. Az the
same time he said he should feel happier
If all of them could crafty his wishes.
Secretary Hay was the first 10 respond.
He said that for his part he deeply ap-
preciated the complimentary references
made by his chief. and that he thought
there was not a member of the Cabinet
who would sever such pleasant official re-
lations without regret. and even then only
IL case of the most urgent reasons for
retirement.
Secretaries Gage, Long. Hitchcock, Will
son. Attorney General Griggs and Post
master General Smith each spoke in turn
and in much the same vein. Secretary
Root was the only absent member from
the meeting. having left for Cuba to look
over military affairs there and at the same
time to try TO recuperate from his long
and serious illness. The list of responses,
therefore, was all but complete. 1t is
known that Secretary Root is in much the

Russian Troops Accused of FrightfuI
Atrocities in the Northern
Portion of China

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE London morning
papers are again agitated concerning the
stability of the concert of the powers in
China. The attitude OF Germany and the
United States meet with disapproval. the
former because Count Van Waldersee has
sent column to destroy the Ming tombs.
an act which is regarded as needlessly vim
dictive. and the latter because il threatens
to break UP the concert.
The Daily Chronicle comments strongly
on the American attitude as "a feeble
compromise which it is impossible TO ac-
cept."
The Morning Post says: cit would be un-
reasonable for the United States TO break
up the concert because they do not desire
indemnity. The powers probably would be
willing TO consider the American objec-
tons. III, however. the United States hav.
In view some new combination of powers u
would be necessary for Great Britain ana
Germany TO agree on a common policy 10
be pursued in the absence OF a general
agreement"
The Standard, which dismisses the sub
ject with a mere reference. says: "Ameri-
can opinion on the Chinese problem Is too
uncertain to be considered seriously"
DR.. Morrison, wiring TO the Times on
Sunday, expresses the opinion that China
will readily accede to all the terms OF the
conjoint note except the execution OF the
princes and officials. which IL will be i'm
possible to fulfill while the court is In the
hands Of these very officials.
Considerable curiosity is felt at Tiea-
Tsin." says the Shanghai correspondent OF
the Times, las 10 the Whereabouts of the
Japanese forces, which, though not leaving
the country, are disappearing from Picking
and Tien-Tsin, IL is not known whittier"
Referring editorially TO the present stage
of the negotiations. the Times says: The
United States accepted the German note
demanding the punishment of Prince Tuan
and the other guilty officials. and IL viii
not be harder to secure the punishment
OF eleven officials than of the three whose
names were originally indicated by the
State Department. Therefore it is difficult
TO see how America could justify in her
own eyes a refusal TO join with the other
powers in steps needful TO secure this re-
suit"
