AMERICAS POSITION
On CHINESE QUESTION

| Washington, Sept. %. The State
| Department last night made public the
text of the notes addressed by 1t to
the governments of Germany, Russia
and China in answer to inquiries from
them as to the attitude of the United
States toward various phases of the
Chinese situation. The forecasts of
these notes made in the press appear
TO have been accurate, for, although
nowhere in the text is reference mad1
to the withdrawal of United States
troops from China, the official state
ment issued by the Navy Department
in advance of the publication of the
notes bears out the prediction that the
government finally has decided upon
such Il material reduction of Its mill
tary force as will amount TO Il with
drawnl of the army as an offensive in
strument. This statement from the
Navy Department, moreover, Is full of
Significance of n purpose on the part
of the government to see to 1t that II
there is any subsequent attempt ut ter
ritOrial aggression on the part of any
Of the powers who already have de-
clared themselves as willing to abide
by the expressed determination of the
SlultS ~ TtlTulu lTOIH
upon Chinese territory, then the United
States Is to lose no right or privilege
which 1t now. enjoys by such action.
The notes themselves are brief, consid-
cring the Importance of the topics
treated. The Russian and Chinese au-
swers, being in the form of diplomatic
memoranda, are short to degree rare
ly seen in diplomatic exchanges. But
in both cases, being completely respon-
sive and favorable to the inquirer, they
will escape criticism on that score.
The reply TO Germany is as follows:
Sir-ln response to your inquiry of
tile 10th instant as TO the attitude of
the government of the United States in
regard to the exemplary punishment
of the notable leaders in the crimes
committed in Pekin against interna-
tional law, | have the horor to make
the following statement:
The government of the United States

pose TO hold to the uttermost account

The. utterly farcical character Of
Captain ChadWick's reprimand for
slandering Schley is found in the or
ders issued to him the very next day
directing him to report at Newport
for special duty during the coming
summer. This means that he will
have pleasant summer and nothing
to do. Like Eagan, who received six
years vacation, on. full pay for SLAM

Inheritance taxes planned to beaR
most heavily on large fortunes, are
increasing in favor, and if the Su~
preme Court sustains the tax of this
character imposed. by the war reve%

part of the governments income in
the future will be derived from the
enormous fortunes of our millionaires.
It is undoubtedly proper that huge
estates should pay to the government
in some proportion to the values that
the government protects for them.

United States Senators stood ready to

is stated in an official report made to

The litigious disposition has shown
itself for six years past at every turn
where the interests of Republican politi-
clans or oficeholders have appeared to
be endangered When F. F. Wright was
elected mayor in 1892, the Democratic
heads of the police department at once
thing was avoided which might be con-
strued as an attempt at embarrassing the
new administration. During the entire
period of that administration there never
was a single attempt made by any Dem
ocratic official tc resort to the courts for
a eurtailment of the powers claimed by
the city executive. But from the time
when, two years after Mayor Smith was
reelected and the. official marplot Nc
Cardy, was allowed to remain in Office,
up to the present hour, an unbroken
record has been presented on the part
of the local Republicans of every avail
able effort being put forward to embarass
Democratic officials: to deprive them of
their powers and prerogatives, to force
them, if possible, frem the Office, and to
fasten Republican politicians to their Of

The prevailing appeal to the supreme
