said, an abundant supply of ammunition for
these guns. as well as for the siege-train
5-inch rifles and 7-inch howitzers now at
Fort Riley. This country, he admitted. was
quite deficient in light and easily transport
able field artillery, but, he said, the ord
nance bureau was in position to meet any
demands that were likely to be made upon
The quartermaster's department.. on which
the real efficiency of any force dispatched
to China will largely depend, is putting out
every effort to provide adequate transpor-
tation for the Chinese contingent. The sit
uation in China has been changing with
such Kaleidoscope rapidty that 1t has been
difficult to provide for the various contin-
gencies quickly they have presented
themselves.
Not at War With China.
The decision of the administration is that
the United States government is still not
at war with the government of China The
big happenings at Tien Tsin. coming on top
of the stories Of the last struggle at Pekin.
have not affected the attitude Of the adj
ministration on that point: the United
States and China technically at peace.
But this statement should not be accepted
as indicating a purpose on the part of the
United States government to hold its hand
In the administration of swift and adequate
punishment upon the Chinese without re-
gard to station who may be responsible ior
the outrages of the past few weeks. 1t
means simply that the government of the
United States feels 1t can best achieve that
purpose by regarding the status officially
as one of peace. To hold otherwise would
seriously cripple the government in it's eff
forts to obtain satisfaction for the outrages
the Americans in China have suffered. We
should find the ports of China. now open
to us. closed, and all sorts of impediments
would be encountered which now are miss
ing. Therefore. according to the admins
tration view. declaration of war would
afford not even a technical gain. while it
would be actually a heavy drawback.
Not Credited Mt the Legations. y
Among the legations here the cablegram
received by Minister WI to the effect that
the foreign ministers in Pekin were safe
on the 9th instant did not cause any feeling
of confidence that the ministers are really
well in the Chinese capital.
The fact that the ministers themselves
have not been heard from was referred to
quite generally as a good reason to doubt
the correctness of the news that they were
well. The old argument was revived, that
If authentic information could have been
received then the ministers themselves
could be communicated with.

NEW FORM OF PUNISHMENT.
Ffremen and Policemen Will Hav,
Annual Leave Reduced for ORenses.

F1remen and Policemen Will Have
Annual Leave Reduced for OHenses.
Private F. NJ. Smith of chemical COM
pany No. 2 OF the District fire department,
If a recommendation of Mr.. Joseph Paris.
the chief engineer of the department, be
approved by the Commissioners, will be
deprived of eight days of his annual leave
of absence, the fireman having been found
guilty of interfering with the assistant
foreman's instruction of a new member of
the company.
The annual leave granted by the Com
missoners to members of the fire depart
ment this summer is fifteen days, an in
crease of five days over that of past years,
and 1t is understood that Mr. Paris. in
recommending that Smith be deprived of
eight days of this leave, adopted sugges-
ton of Commissioner Mcfarland. who has
immediate supervision of the department.
The chief engineer was. 1t is stated, at
first constrained to recommend the dismiss
sal of Smith. but after comforting with Mr..
mcfarland. suggested penalty of a reduc-
ton Of the mans annual leave to seven
days with a warning that repetition OF
the offense will result in his dismissal. This
recommendation will, it is understood, be
approved by the Commissioners.
Heretofore the members of the police and
fire departments have been punished when
found guilty of a violation of the rules and
regulations governing the departments by
understood that Mr.. Macfarland believes
that when a policeman fireman is fined
1t Is his family which suffers most. and
where the offense is not serious enough to
warrant dismissal or reduction in rank.
ii is understood that in the fire department,
which is under his special charge, the often
ders will suffer loss Of leave, whenever they
are still entitled to any. and the loss of
their day Off for a certain length of time
when they are no longer entitled to annual
leave. In this way, believes Mr.. Macfar-
land the offenders. and not their families,
will be punished
Mr.. Macfarland also desires the members
of the fire department. to clearly understand
that they shall give the assistant foremen
of the companies especially during the alb
sence of the foremen, all the respect and
obedience which the rules require of the
men He wishes the men to distinctly
derstand that during the absence of a fore
man of a company the assistant foreman
is the officer in command and any disre-
Spect shown him or any disobedience of his
orders while in command of the company
will subject the offender to punishment
Without discipline, Mr.. Macfarland feels
that the efficiency of the department cam
not be maintained, and he proposes, by
strictly enforcing the rules and regulations
to see that it is maintained at all times and
under all circumstances.
