AMERICANS IN JEOPARDY.

Reason for Landing Marines on Chinese
Soil. HSt
WASHINGTON, May 31.-Not a word
has been received at the state or navy
departments from any Of the officials in
China since Tuesdays report from Min.
lister Conger Communication by cable
is still open, so it is assumed by the Of
ficials here that there has been no great
change in the situation or at any rate
none affecting American interests. In
fact these interests have so far not been
directly attacked during the present
uprising by the BOXERS and state
department officials direct attention to
the fact up to this time the massacres
have been confined to the native Chris
tians. Not single American citizen has
been killed, so far as is known. If the
situation were to continue on this basis
it might be difficult to find ground for
such arbitrary action as the landing Of
United States marines in the Chinese
capital, but Mr.. Conger's reports so
clearly indicated the apprehension that
the development of the :'boxers' upris-
ing would involve the jeopardy J., Of
American life and property the state
department. could no longer neglect his
warning, hence the dispatch of marines

policy so far-reaching and terrible in its
results as that pursued toward South At
RIGA is of but little moment. The matter,
rather than the manner of it, is that
with which the British electorate have
really to deal And with that Lord Sails
bury has much more to do, and ought to
be held to a much larger measure Of re-
spansibility for it than Mr.. Chamberlain.
A politician so bold and so adro.t as
Chamberlain is hardly likely to quail in
the present situation. lie has fought at
much more of a disadvantage many
times during the past twenty years than
he fights today; and, most significant
tact of ALL he has won every fight in
which he has been engaged, whether it
was fought against Liberals or Tories or
against both combined.
With Chamberlain at home and Kitch-
ener abroad, and the prevailing policy in
South Africa adhered to. it will be sur
prising II the sentiment of the British
people does not, long before the present
session of parliament has come to a
close, declare itself against the policy of
decimation, which the present command
ing general in South Africa is so well
qualified to carry out. The lost Eber-
ties of the Beers can never De restored;
but the display, made by the opposition
Thursday makes it quite plain that,
whether the government will or will not,
the status of the two former republics
will be defined at the earliest possible
moment on a near approach to the po-
litical conditions now existing in the
other colonies of Britain. The crown
colony proposal is one which only the
Beers themselves can render to-erable to
the British people for any length of
time whatever.

THE CANTEEN SCARE

1t Is reasonable to believe that the ac-
ton of the house of representatives in
aboilshing the canteen system will be con-
CURED in by the senate, and that the cold
water people will have succeeded during
the coming session is soaring the admins
tration into acceptance of its views, in
that respect at least MIR. Woolley made an
very bitter campaign, and some Of his
post-election utterances have evidently
cut deep into the Republican epidermis.
1t is disappointing that there was OBJ
jections stated to Mr.. Fitzgerald's amend
ment to include the White House in the
general provision of Mr.. LittIefieId's can
teen amendment. 1t would be interesting
at least to find how the majority went on
record on the subject There is, of course.
no force in the contention that the
amendment is Objectionable mostly be-
cause it enforces prohibition within army
reservations. That is'a perfectly leglti-
mate regulation. The only real criticism
of the policy lies in the truth that the
canteen provision really protects the
soldier, and that the Republican politi-
clans Of the administration have been
driven from their position by dread Of con-
sequences. The position taken on behalf
of the administration during the last CAM
paign on every stump and in every public
print was in effect that the army canteen
was maintained for the benefit of the
soldier, to save him from the dangers and
exactions involved in patroniziag the low
groggeries which surround the army posts
out in remote regions.
This was perfectly tenable position
The retreat which has been made from it
by the house Republicans is mere politi-
cal poltroonery. It will do the party no
good with the country, and It is all the
more discreditable since the country has
shown that it has but little time for TIE
foolish contentious of the zealots who
make up the entire puny voting strength
of the Prohibition party.
This is the first decisive action taken
in any important direction since the open
ing of the present session, and it is one
which indicates tie time-servirg p: opepsi-
ties OF those who have just been charged
with such absolute control over all the
departments of the national government
