Without venturing to decide upon the fitness
or unftness of any particular site. it may be
permissible to hope that some site will soon
be finally adopted for the Soldiers and Sailors

erected upon it. There must certainly be some

POLICY OF GOVERNMENT
TOWARDS CHINA.
WILL BE ONE CALLING FOR
GOOD GOVERNMENT FOR
THAT COUNTRY.
Withdrawal of the Troops Has Not
Been Considered and United
States Will Be in At
the Finish.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The gov
| eminent, now fully satisfied by the adj
vices that the international troops have
entered Peking and that the legationers
are saved, is calmly awaiting detailed
statements from its own officers, and II
is 10 them, particularly to the Ameri-
can commander at feking, that the gov
eminent looks for advices not only as
| TO what has occurred, but on the local
determination can be made of what
still remains TO be done.
The general policy OF the government
towards China heretofore has been
made known both TO General Chaffse
and Minister Conger, and it was stated
authoritatively tonight that there was
no necessity of sending these officials
additional instructions.
The fact is emphasized by admins
tration officials that the policy of the
government is stated in Secretary
Hays note of July Sd, and that nothing
can be added now TO that document eS-
cept an elaboration of the points stated
therein.
The dispatch from General Yamagu-
chi giving the details OF the capture OF
Peking was accepted by the war depart
ment officials as giving the most salts
factory account thus far received. Gen
eral Yamaguehi is in command of the
Fifth army corps with the rank Of
major general, and is regarded as one
OF the fighting generals of the japanese
army. His report discloses for the trSt
time that the Americans shared in the
assault on the city, and that they
marched with the British troops to the
south gate, while the japanese and
Russians operated against the east
gate. What was more noticeable IN
the Japanese report was that the Jap
anese killed are given at loo and the
Chinese killed at 400.
This makes no account OF the wound
ed. and indicates that when the de-
tailed list is received it will be a heavy
one. as the wounded always far exceed
the killed. Furthermore. the report
states that the loss of the allies has not
been ascertainei. This is the first in
timation that there were losses other
than those sustained by the Japanese.
The entire tenor of the report indicates
that the engagement was fierce one,
lasting throughout the day of August
18th, as the attack began early in the
morning and the blowing up OF the gate
did not occur until nightfall.
Even with the Chinese capital occu-
pied by the allied forces ii is realized
that there is still serious business for
the forces inside the city.
Aside from the question of with
drawal OF troops from China. there is
the further question OF the withdrawal
of troops from Picking Both of these
questions are for the present in ahey-
ance, pending definite news from Cen
eral Chaffee and Minister Conger. Ger
tainly there can be no immediate with
irawal from Picking. and plans viii be
devised for escorting the legationers
and the several thousand native Chris
tians to the coast

THE PRINCIPLES Of THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
JOHN II. WISE EXPLAINS THEM
FOR THE BENEFIT OF
HAWAIIANS.
He Says the Democrats Are Against
Annexation, Despite the Action
of Congress Two Years
Ago.

Mr.. John H. Wise, who did not know
what 16 to l meant, despite his vote
cast for that plank in the national
Democratic platform, has been telling
the natives something about The
Principles of the Democratic Party. ="
Here is a translation of his article pub
lished in the Aloha Alma" of Aug
usl 25th:
tThe Democratic party is the party
of Cleveland, who tried 10 restore the
monarchy, but failed because the Re
publicans, the party who robbed the
Hawaiians of their independence, con-
trolled Congress. The Democrats are
against annexation and are opposed to
any attempts that will rob the people
of their rights. The Democratic party
is the party of the poor, and will see
that equal rights are given to all. re-
CARELESS of whether a man is rich or
poor.
The Democratic party gave TO the
Hawaiian people full civil rights, and
was not beguiled into accepting bride
money from W. o. Smith and Others
who represent the Republican party
here today. The Democratic party is
the party that will benefit the native
Hawaiians. because it will not sanction
any measure which viii deprive us OF
our rights, and will oppose those who
in the past seven years have done
everything to deny US those rights
.sTr ic fnr @haca -6y - -
people here who sympathize with the
Hawaiians, and some of the Hawaiian
people themselves, have Joined the
Democratic party, a political party
strong and influential enough in Con-
gress to defeat the purposes of our
enemies, the missionaries, who
have been our enemies during the past
seven years and who are our enemies
today.
Tt is true that in the Democratic
ranks are found some annexationists.
but this fact will not hurt the natives.
for there are only few of them, not
sufficient to make their influence felt
The wants and wishes OF our white
sympathizers and those Hawaiians who
love their country will be heard. for
they constitute the great majority OF
the people who have joined the Demo
cratic party. The more natives there
are who viii join our party the less in
fiuenee will these annexations have IN
the Democratic party"
