MONDAY EVENING. JULY 8, 1900.

THE American press is 30 sensational
that it stimulates newsgsthers to resort
to their imaginations rather than to
actual occurrences for their statements
Especially is this the case with what
they send from abroad. Their dispatch
ca from China have been more than
usually unreliable, but they suited the
purpose of the administration, as it will
thereby be enabled to make greater ex'
penditures, and appoint more officers, for
the benefit of its partisan supporters.
1t ia doubtful now whether any Ameri-
cans have been msssacred in China,
though for less cause, hundreds OF
Chinese have been slaughtered ID

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

Advices from Shanghai state that the
legations in Pekin, or at least two OF
them, were still safe on Wednesday,
the 4th of July, and confirm the report
that two thousand Cainese had bees
killed.
A revolutionary movement has start
ed in Pekin among the Chinese which
ia likely to cause setback to the anti
foreign movement. The forces of Prince
Tuan, the usuper, have been attacked
by he Empress troops.
FRI % CDefoo comes the information
that 10000 Chinese soldiers have re-
occupied one OF the arsenals at TientsiD
and are forlifying the native city. About
so. 600 or 100, 600 Chinese surround Tien-
lsiD. Foreign nations have decided to
send to China for the relief OF Pekin
about 100 900 troops. Orders for the
mobilization Of this great army have
already been issued, and many OF the
troops are already on the way. An
army Of $4,000 will soon be at Taku.
The United stes Government has or
dered 6,254 additional troops TO Manila,
with the understanding that they may
be diverted to China. This will increase
the American forces in China TO more
than 8, 900 men. Japso will increase its
ar my 10 China to % 600.
Reports from London say the upris-
iug Is spreading. Prince Tuan has Or
dered an attack on NankiD. Chefoo is
said TO be at the mercy Of Chinese gar
risous armed with Krupp guns and the
foreign warships are cleared constantly
for action.
Shanghai correspondence say that a
force OF japanese and Russians have
pushed forward from Tientsin eighteen
miles and attacked the Chinese forces,
defeating them and killing one thou
sand.
General Dodds, OF Dahomey fame,
has been appointed to command the
French expedition TO China.
Emperor William, it appears, was
with difficulty restrained by his ad-
vissrs from ordering an army corps to
China and wagipg war upon learning
Of the murder OF the German minister.
To corps OF marines departing for
China he vowed vengeance, and said ::
II shall not rest until the German colors
fly from the wall Of Pekin."

TEE republicans profess to have
great respect for the teachings of Alex
ander Hamilton. But he said:
"To usurp dominion over a people In
their own despite, or to grasp at more
extensive power than they are willing
to entIust ::is to violate that law OF ma
ure which gives every man a right to
his personal liberty, and can, therefore,
confer no obligation to obedience.
1t is needless to say that the Porto
Ricans, Cubans and Filipinos have no
respect for the republicans.
