cation late yesterday afternoon announced
the decision of the imperial Government
at Tokyo TO despatch Immediately one
mixed division OF troops 20 China. With
this addition the japanese troops in
China will number $4,000 men. ia
pans action is in line with her enquiry
of the powers whether they had any OBJ
lection to an increase in the japanese
forces in China TO a size much greater than
the proportionate share of that country.
The United States Government promptly
acquiesced and the State Department has
information that Great Britain, Russia,
and France also expressed their approval
of Japan's intention. 1t is supposed that
Germany. Austria. and Italy have followed
the example of the other powers. as har-
monious understanding in all things affect

Of Japan. Owing to her geographical near

| Spinners' Association. now meeting in this
| city. These agencies will be located in
Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, ana

these brokers are heavy stockholders in the
Southern mills and control the output
With the general prosperity that the coun-
try has enjoyed for the last four years,
the financial independence of the mill own
ers has increased, and 1t is believed that
they will be able TO cut loose from the
middemen entirely and dictate the terms
upon which their yarn is to be sold. This
Will have the effect probably Of reducing
the cost of the finished cloth to the retail
buyer
Several heavy brokers of Philadelphia
and New York appeared before the COM
mittee today and expressed their views
upon the contemplated change. New Eng
land mill owners also gave the Southern
ers the benefit of their experience The
Northern spinners dispose of their yarn
upon a different basis than the Southern
operators. plan that nets them greater
profit and frees them from the thralldom
Of middlemen. Secretary Frank B. His
said that the practicabilty of the different
methods suggested to the committee would
be considered and plan evolved for pre-
sentation to the general association.

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDs' VIEWS.
Says Democrats Cannot Make Impcri-
niism the Main Issue.

=
nlism the Main Issue.
PHILADELPHIA. July 6.-Ex-Senato-
George F. Edmunds. one of the foremost
opponents OF the imperialistic policy of the
Administration. today said most empha:-
ically that he was opposed to the nomina-
ton of an independent Republican ticket
by those who objected to Mckinley. that
such step would be unwise because il
would improve the chances Of the Demo-
cratic candidates being elected, which
would be most dangerous for the country.
Saying that Imperialism is the most
important issue does not make ii so. said
Mr.. Edmunds. People like Mr. Schurz,
Mr.. Bryan, and all the Democrats make it
their issue. but the Republicans do not.
II imperialism were the sole issue the
question would be very simple one But
you cannot separate the idea OF getting
one of the two gentlemen. Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. Bryan. who have been named as
candidates for President. II it is ques-
ton between the governing forces of the
two parties Taking the Republican party
with the faults which. am sorry to say,
we have fallen into and the Democratic
party, that is always at fault, / choose
the one that has the less faults, mas
much as 1 must have one or the other.
THE present condition is such as l do
not like, but as it is also whether Mr.. Nc
Kinley or Mr.. Bryan will be President:
then as every practical, wise, and just
person is compelled to determine which
of these two he will support, II he sets
up an independent ticket, being Repub-
lican he is half supporting Mr.. Bryan and
wholly opposing Mr.. Mckinley.
'IHasmuch as 1t is question Of prefer
ence between the two. vote direct is
one that is effective. If / wanted to beat
MIR. Mckinley l would vote for Mr.. Bryan
TO make the attainment of the end doubly
certain. If wanted to prevent Mr.. Bry-

BARON EAYAsHI's VIEWS.
Che Jcrnnc.c Diplomat Believes An
archy in China Is General

LONDON, July s.-Baroa Hayashi the
new japanese Minister 10 Great Britain,
has arrived in LONDON. In the course OF an
Interview he refused to give any opinion
on the Eastern situation, as when he left
Japan there were no symptoms OF trouble.
He said he believed that II the bad news
concerning Pekin was true IL was only be-
cause anarchy was general. He did not
think If any form OF government existed
that the foreigners would be badly treated
II Prince Tuan was in power he might he
only the head OF an anarchical movement,
and he would in that case be powerless to
prevent excuses. Baron Hayashi added
that If all the conditions Japan asked were
conceded there was no reason why she
should not undertake the restoration of or
der in China. The powers were all agreed
In wishing to put down the rebels as soon
as possible. but it does no; seem they were
agreed as to the means. The japanese
army was prepared for any emergency.

THE CARS F1RM STAND.

COLOGNE. July 6.-The "Volks Zeiturg'

ing TO which the Car will not hear OF any
peremptory settlement of the Chinese af-
fair or the expansion of territories belorg

WINGED that Germany will support him in
shis policy. While Count Lamsdorff re-
mains at the head of foreign affairs the
Russian policy will reflect the Cars own
ideas.
Bitterness against foreigners exists, but
1t is hardly conceivable that it will extend
among the army and navy officials. Power
full influences are at work trying TO induce
the Car to maintain absolute reserve until
the strength OF the other powers is ex-
hausted, when Russia will assume the posi-
ton OF arbiter and secure the lions share
OF the spoils. The despatch concludes By
saying that this movement is SO strong
that the Car has TO show extraordinary
firmness 10 weather the storm Of feeling ii
