Washington. Aug. Interest in the
Chinese situation was intensified by the
receipt Of two dispatches from naval OIL
GERS at chefoO repeating unofficial, but
apparently reliable. reports Of active and
extensive hostiiities between the allied
torees and the Chinese on the line between
Iientsin and Pekin. The dispatches indi-
cate unmistakably that the relief column
has started in earnest and that II is meet
Ins With determined opposition. Al.
though neither Of the naval dispatches
mentioned the presence Of American
troops in the reported engagement, il is
generally assumed al the var department
that at least a part Of General Chalfee's
small army took an active and aggressive
pant an tine affair. The dispatches are
a. follows;

ALLIES ADVANCE IN TWO LINES.
Relief Force IL Moving Along Both
Sides of the Pet HO River.

Washington, Aug. s.--The dispatch Of
General ChAffee, written before the battle
OF Sunday, confirms the dispatches re-
ceiyed at the navy department yesterday
and also the press dispatches received To-
day concerning the attack ON the Chinese
at Pei Tsang. General Chaffee's dispatch,
dated Friday, was not sent from chefoO
until today, an ineKplieable delay.
The most interesting feature OF the dis
patch is the information regarding the
positions Of the Chinese army and the fact
that the advance upon Pekin il made
by two columns, one on each side of the
Pei HO river. The international force, as
given by General Chatfee, would aggre-
gate about 1900 men, while the other dis
patches say 1900, but this difference can
easily be accounted for as more men
might have been available when the move
meHt began than when the conference
was held on the Sd inst. This conference
is supposed 10 have been between the sew
eral commanders present at Tientsin. 1t
Is ey.dent that the foreign commanders do
not underestimate the task which they
have before them, as the dispatch shows
that a thorough reconnaissance Of the Chi
nese position has been made, and that even
before the advance Of the international
forces from Iientsin the commanders we're
IN possession of full informal non relative
10 the Chinese posiLlOn- This is one Of
the most welcome features OF the dispatch,
as it proves oondusively that the inierna-
uonal column did not blunder upon an
intrenched position Of the enemy.
According 10 the war department map,
the Town Of Pei Isang covers both sides
Of the river, but the main portion OF. =
is ON the left SIDE, where the Japanese,
English and American forces had ar
range, according 10 General Chafiees
dispatch, 10 attack the enemy in flank

our philipnine Policy.

We believe that it would be well for
the advocates of the administration in
the campaign that will now shortly be
at its height TO make most prominent
before the voters the settled purpose
of the government to secure the ulti-
mate adoption of self government in
the Philippines and in the meantime to
serve the interests and secure the CO.
operation of the natives. On the other
hand, we call the serious attention of
those who are dissatisfied with the
present outcome in some of It's features
to the fact that the determination of
the future policy of the government in
this matter rests not with the admin
istration, but with congress, and that
it is quite possible to attain all that
they really desire through congress
without putting Mr.. Bryan in the pres
idency and inviting the incalculable
peril involved in his election. Not only
by the constitution, but by the express
terms of the treaty with Spain the
status of the natives of the Philip
pines is within the control of congress.
That body can dictate the policy Of the
government on this as on all other
questions, and if 1t contains major
ity rejecting a strong sentiment among
the people it will do so. Mr.. Mckinley
can be relied on to respect such SEN
timent so embodied with the utmost
fidelity. In the congressional elections,
therefore, lies the field for effective
activity on the part of those who wish
to hold the government to a just policy
in the new possessions and do not wish
to bring disaster to business interests
and dishonor to the public credit by
the election of the free silver candi-
date. If candidates for congress are
chosen who will support the gold stand
ard and who will stand not for the
wild and impracticable notion of i'm
posing government on the Filipinos and
then assuming all the responsibilities
of their Independent conduct with no
chance of control, but for the exercise
of our sovereignty with the steadfast
purpose of the gradual and complete
extension of self government, the best
results will be attained with the least
risk-New York Times.

The A.stor Butcher Trust

From the northern end of Chatham
square starts the Bowery, and a few
steps from its commencement is the
building now used as q Germen thea
ter, which was once the Old Bowery.
Before the Bowery theater and previ-
GUS to the Revolution the same site
occupied by a building which has a
place in history because Washington
slept In it. This was the Bulls Head
tavern. Being close by the city slaugh-
ter houses, all the butchers who came
to town stopped at this inn, making it
the first commercial inn of its day.
During the Revolution Henry Astor,
brother of John Jacob Astor, owned
the Bulls Head tavern. He leased it
to Richard Varian. But Varian went
privateering and left the inn to be
conducted by his wife.
Astor was a butcher and conducted
his business In the Fly market in
Maiden lane. He incurred the enmity
of all the butchers in the town by con-
ceiving the brilliant idea Of riding far
out along the Bowery lane, meeting
the drovers as they brought their cat
tie to town and buying their stock,
which he sold to the other butchers at
his own price. AS the lane was really
the only road to the city, Astor in this
way formed trust and prospered for
many years. The inn, too, prospered
until 1926, when it gave place to the
Bowery theater.-Home Journal

President Mckinley said last spring


The special interest felt in the cleo
ton of the president naturally tends
ito dwarf other matters of Importance
connected with the election. But the
voters everywhere should not fail to
remember that the election of con-
gressmen is second in importance only
to that of the president, and there is
great danger that the Republicans
may lose the control of the next house
of representatives even though Nc
Kinley might be reelected by a large
majority The reason of this is partly
because the present Republican ma
iority in the house is very small, so
that a gain of nine Democratic votes
would overcome it, and partly because
the new election laws in several of the
southern states are of such a nature
that the Republicans could not posi-
bly, hope to carry single district in
that section and must therefore expect
to lose several seats from this cause,
which must be offset by gains in other
parts of the country. Chairman Bah
cock of the Republican congressional
committee desires to warn the voters
of the necessity for standing shoulder
to shoulder and working hard to save
the house, and especially to impress
the voters in the close and doubtful
states
