have 10000 or $4,000 soldiers in
China. 1t YVES decided at a cabi-
net meeting Tuesday that it did
not require the calling Of an ex-
ira session of congress, but if it
should become more serious, ne
cessitating the sending of a larg-
er force from this country than is
now contemplated, the president
would undoubtedly convene con-
congress.
II is now clearly seen that the
delay Of the European powers in
dealing with the uprising was a
terrible mistake. Had they come
to prompt understanding and
permitted Japan to take the init
ative and do what she is now do,
ing it is highly probable that the
conditions would not now be as
bad as they are. However, the
action being taken appears to be
as vigorous as the circumstances
demand and there is reason to
hope for an early change for the
better. That appears to be the
feeling at Washington. Omaha

The Chinese Situation.

There is apparently no improve
ment in conditions in China,
though it is thought that the vic
tory of the allied forces at Tien
Tsin may have tendency to
check the uprising. This is said
to be the opinion Of the Chinese
minister at Washington. The
activity of Japan, which now has
a large force in China, may also
have the effect to check the revo-
lutionary movement, while it
seems that the government is
really making serious effort to
repress the movement, evidence
of which is seen in the summon
ing of Ii Hung Chang to Pekin.
An exceedingly ugly phase of the
situation is the reported invasion
of Russian territory by Chinese
soldiers. Ihls, assuming the
correctness of the report, may re-
suit in actual war between Rus
sia and China, but if acts of hos
tility were committed by the rev.
olutionary element Russia will
probably not hold the Chinese
government responsible, except
for indemnity.
Meanwhile, our government is
preparing to send reinforcements
to China and unless the uprising
should be crushed within the next
sixty days the United States will

this section of country last Satur-

damage to outbuildings and resi-

considerably damaged, and many

blown over. A light rain fell
after the wind had abated, but
no hail accompanied it. However

AMERICAN PEACE ARTICLES.

MADRID, Nov. 13.-During. the pro-
e@edings of the Spanish-American con-
gress today, and while the report of the
committee on arbitration was under con-
sideration, the Conde de- Luque, professor
Of international law in the university Of
Madrid, delivered a violent speech
against the Spanish-Ameiican treaty Of
Paris, declaring that people ought to
protest against the feudalism that exists
now in questions of International order. .,
Senor Greiard, former minister OF
foreign affairs, qualified this doctrine as
dangerous"
Other committees proposed the estab-
1shment of a Spanish-AmeFican bank
with branches In all the large towns of
Latin America, half of the capital to be
supplied by Spain and the rest by the
Latin republics; advised the government
of Spain to reduce railway and other
tariffs, and reform the customs duties in
order to facilitate the importation Of
Span1sh-American products, and advo-
Gated the concession by Spanish-Ameri-
can governments of navy bounties, re-

the burglar, with a cloth satu ated

by her cries, could come to her assist
ance, the burglar struck her with pair
of brass knuckles, almost rendering her
unconscious, and escaped. The blow cut
a deep cash in Mrs Potters head, and
for time it was feared that this end

LONDON, Nov 13-Lord Salisbury has
advised the queen to take the unusual
step of summoning parliament to meet
in the last month of the year. The an
nouncement, however, occasions little
surprise, as 1t has been generally under
stood that owing to the prolongation Of
hostilities in South Africa, the govern
ment would be badly in want of money
before the usual date, early in February,
when, the country had been led to be-
lfeye the new parliament would be call
ed together. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer's initial estimate OF a1O,0o0,Gse,
framed a year ago, has already been
many times exceeded. His latest esti-
mate, prepared in the course of last sum-
mer. amounted to about 270,OO0,000. 1t
was based, however, upon the suPpost-
ton that by September the resistance of
the Beers would have been completely
crushed and the bulk Of the British
troops enabled to return home Sir
Michael Hicks -Beach's expectations have
not been fulfilled, and it will be found
necessary to seek further supplies from
parliament next month. The most con-
servative estimate at which the ulti-
mate cost of the Boer war is now put is
the sum of 8100,0 600.

diately officials within whose jurisdiction
outrages on foreigners should be COM
nitteG, has, however, been accepted in
modified shape. Germany will be pleased
to hear of the erection Of the monument
to her murdered minister
The transfers of cabinet officers were
registered at the council at Windsor yes
terday, and the foreign office was turned
over to Lord Lansdowne
More interesting incidents of the day
were the reception of Gen. Butler by the
Duke of Connaught, Lord Wolseley and
other associates at military headquar-
ters, and the departure Of the Duke of
York's guard of honor for Australia
Gen. Butler was recognized by the
crowds In the streets and loudly cheered
as he drove with Lady Audrey to the
war office, and his welcome inside was
most cordial. He was not received as a
conquerer, but as a sturdy soldier who
had done his best and had properly con-
fessed that he had rightly lost the chief
command. The embarkation of the picked
force of guardsmen, militia and volun-
teers for Australia excited great en-
.thus1asm It was fresh sign that impe-
rial Interests now dominate the English
administration, and that advantage will
be taken of every opportunity for tight
en1ng the bonds uniting the colonies with
the mother country.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 13.-Twenty-
five emigrants, who come here as saloon
passengers on the American line steamer
Waestland yesterday, were denied admis-
sion to this country by a board of in
quiry of the United States immigration
commissioners, On the ground that they
had violated the contract labor law. The
party consists of six men, two women
and seventeen children. Under examina-
ton the men and women admitted that
they were lacemalzers, and came from
Beaston, a small manufacturing town
near Nottingham, England. It was prov
ed that a irst-class passage had been
paid for them by John Alexander Dowie,
the divine healer" of Chicago, who is
about to found city called Zion, ,"
near Waukegan, ILL.,, where he intends
to establish a lace-producing plant. The
board learned also that a complete lace
making plant is also on its way here.
The identity Of the lace makers was
made known by the agents of the Anal
gamated Lace and Lace Curtain Opera
tives in America, who followed them
here from England.
The board decided that as lace making
is not new industry in this country,
the emigrants should be deported.
