Forces in the Philippines.

Washington, July 1S-"There
will be no further Withdrawals OF
troops from the Philippines for SER
vice in China That is the policy
determined upon aud that will be
adhered to
A cabinet officer today made this
statement and then added
"Gen MacArthur's dispatches on
the necessity of retaining there all
the troops save those already under
orders are clear 1t would be unsafe
TO take any more away
.Then, under no circumstances,
will the forces in The Philippines be
drawn upon ?'' he was asked.
..I am not going to say that any
conclusion reached is an absolute
6uality, but this much is positive
No development in the situation is
apprehended such as will call for a
change in this policy as to our troops
in the Philippines, in the present
light OF events
Eve do not anticipate any extra
session of congress- he said
"What if Minister Conger and the
other Americans are found murder
ed" be was asked
eve are proceeding at this pres
ent moment on the assumption that
our people are murdered | do not
see why that should necessitate an
extra session An extra session ls
hardly necessary .
"What if their murder was by or
with the coDnivanoe of the Chinese
government ?''
81 do not believe an extra ses
SION of congress would necessarily
follow"
"Wba. about the decision Of the
commanders of the international
forces that $4,000 troops are neces
safy for the campaign ?''
"That is an old story" was the
reply. "Admiral Kempf cabled a
week or ten days ago-sl1ty thou
sand men for the forward move on
the capital and 10000 to protect
Tier Tsin and communication with
Pekin" /"
Asked as to the possible effect of
the Chinese attack on the Russian
town along the Manchurian border.
the reply was "This may compli-
cate the situation. | cannot say
whether or not it means actual war
between the Chinese government and
Russia The matter is between those

Among the Boxers.

Miss Rouse, a returned missionary
from China, gave a remarkably in
teresting address at the M. E. church
Sunday night on the religious aspect
of China. The chief difficulty of the
missionary was the language and
the prejudice to the foreigner. The
Christians were never called Chris
tians but foreigners and often foreign
devils. Ancestral worship was a
hindrance to the gospel. II a man
succeeded in securing any degree in
art or in literature he gave it to his
grandfather who had been dead for
years and he was expected to be
honored by it in the eternal world.
Miss Rouse was in China when
missionaries were massacred a few
years ago and tenderly cared for a
missionary's child who was pierced
in the eye and body with spears and
swords. Night and day she was in
jeopardy of being murdered by the
fanatics. She told how in giving a
description OF our celebration of the
Fourth Of July; that by mistake in
sound, she said that the Americans
rode on cats and fred onions. This
nearly lost her the the teacher, who
was Mortified at such a mistake.
Miss Rouse Is an able speaker glow
ing with enthusiasm for her subject,
q true missionary. She speaks this
evening In the Methodist church on
the political side of the Boxer move
ment.

The .BralnerQ Arena, WHICH is
one Of the radical Bryan papers
that regrets the monstrous
wrongs inflicted on the nation
B ~ the Mckinley administra-
ton, brings the question right
]. home to the voter by saying
this Of conditions in that city:
Outside of Duluth, Brainerd is
by far the leading town in North
,ern Minnesota and offers a
larger field for either labor or
capital. First, labor is scarce.
It is impossible to obtain men
: to do the work that is necessary
at the present time. Contract
ors are working their men and
teams Sundays and at the shops
men are working days, nights
and Sundays. If labor was to
be had such overwork would
not be necessary. Men must be
brought from the outside and
homes must be built for them.
It has long been known that
comfortable houses to rent are
almost unknown and capital
would find profitable investment
ID building houses for people
who are already on their way
here. The bringing to Brainerd
of the Brainerd & Northern gen.
eral Offices means a number of
families that at present will
find it difficult to obtain homes.
The enlargement of the North
ern Pacific shops, which is an
imperative necessity, and the re-
mova] of the St. Paul & Du-
luth's Gladstone shops to the
city must increase the city's
population by almost hundreds.
Factories of many kinds could
find no better location. A
splendid water power is going
to waste and should be utilized.
Shipping facilities are ample.
With a straight line to Duluth
and the east by rail or water,
connections with st. Paul and
Minneapolis and the Northern
Pacific to the coast, the ship
ping facilities are equal to or
better than any city in the
:. Northwest, The future of
Rrainerd could be printed in
r6seate hues and no one could
possibly have a stronger faith
10 it's possibilities than the
business men of the city.
