WASHINGTON. July ls--In the alb
sence OF direct news from China this
morning. attention was directed main
ly TO the more or less speculative stor-
les emanatlng from European capitals
indicative OF discord among the pow
ers. II Is realized that these little
ebulitIons Of mutual suspicion always
characterize allied movements. and are
to be expected In the present crisis.
II can be stated that so far as the
official record discloses there is abso-
lutely no ground for them.
There is not the slightest disposition
on the part OF our government 20 fol-
low the example Of certain European
powers and restrict in any measure
the liberty OF the Chinese minister
here, Mr.. WI. In communicating with
the Chinese viceroys and whatever re-
mains OF the titular Chinese govern
ment.
II war should actually and formally
open between Russia and China, that
fact might oblige the other powers to
do ono OF two thlngs-either join in a
declaration OF war or withdraw their
forces from Chinese soil, The devel-
opments In the military situation were
the formal designation Of Bridadier-
General Chaffee as major general of
volunteers, and the making Of other ar
rangements for a prolonged campaign
on a large scale In China.
The government authorities are find-
ing that the present Chinese agitation
is having the usual effect OF stimulat-
ing cranks and agitators, and many
OF the highest officials are receiving an
onymous letters containing threats.
The Chinese officials also are victims
of these foolish effusions, They are
not considered seriously. however. and
the officials dismiss them as from ig-
norant persons.

The most important move on the Chi

direction given to the defence of Brit
Ish interests. The Indian troops at
Hong Kong. instead OF going TO Tien
Tsin have sailed for Shanghai and Woo
Sung. Sir Alfred Gazelee may also halt
there. This is sign that the British
government, having been convinced
that TIen Tsin and Taku can be held
by the allied forces now on the ground,
has decided to make serious prepara-
tlons for the defence of Shanghai and
the other centres Of commerce in mid
die China. This determination is wise,
because Ii Hung Chang has left Can.
ton to shift for itself. and has ordered
50 Black Flags recruited from the worst
elements OF the population. to march
overland through the Yangtse provinces
to Pekin. The presence OF this ma
rauding army will be menace to the
peace OF these immense districts where

provinces. The cable station at Shang.

terests requiring resolute protection. A

gardlng the great struggle now in prog
ress. Tien Tsin Is now secure. and II
Is considered possible that a strong
japanese force instead of landing at
Taku will go to Shan Hal Kwan AMI
march on PelSin along the great wall.
The British fleet is already of the
harbor, and one press agency reports
that Sir Alfred Gazslee will command
the army Of invasion along the north
wall, but this Is not confirmed. The
allies need eommander-in-chief to d.
rect the entire campaign, but by rea-
son of jealousy among the powers, Rus
sia, Japan and England are excluded
from naming him. The German empe
ror is reported in diplomatic circles to
have expressed a strong preference for
"a French general as commander. and
this solution is the mcst natural one.
The keenest observers do not doubt
that as the campaign advances, each
power will operate so far as may be
possible in the districts which will nat
urally fall within its future sphere of
activity.

we are frank enough to say that
we believe the people of the north
west are right. There is some
thing about The Tribune which
makes one turn to it every day in
preference to any other paper. It
is well edited, we'll printed and
we'll illustrated. A man can get
the gist of the worlds news from a
hasty reading of The Tribune
quicker than from any other paper
we know Of and yet it is complete
enough to cover all news of the
day.
The Tribune's cartoons are a
liberal education and very easily
acquired one, too, to thousands of
people who gather fun and wisdom
from moments glance.
The Tribune is woman's paper
If its popularity is at all COM
mensurate with the features which
are intended especially to interest
the ladies. Nearly every woman
would rather read an interesting
short story than a discussion of
the political issues, and she gets it
every day in The Tribune, while
The Sunday Tribune is a book of
literary gems.

THE BEST NEWSPAPER IN THE
NORTHWEST.

A subscriber has written u.s.:
(Which is the best newspaper in
the Twin Cities?" We undertake
to answer his question reluctantly,
because the Twin City press is
probably, as whole, considerably
ahead of the average Of the news
papers of the United States.
Every paper has it's pecularities.
No one paper suits all the people
best, but there is one way to test a
newspapers popularity better than
any other, that is to count the
number of people who buy it and
read it.
After all there is no surer test.
People will not continue to read a
paper and pay for it year after
year unless it is the nearest ap-
proach to what they want tina: the
market affords.
From this standpoint there is
no other paper in the northwest in
the same class with the Minneapo-
lis Tribune It's average circula-
ton for 1900 was over $4,000.
This is a goodly number. The
average country newspaper has
about 1000 subscribers. The
Tribune has more than so times as
many.
Without attempting to express
more than a personal preference,
