ungentlemanly manner. The trouble
did not grow out OF politics, but Mr..

Italy's Altitude.

The attitude Of Italy also has been de-
fined In statement by, Marquis Vis-
conte Venosta, mln!stertof foreign at
fairs. as follows:
THE cabinet has ro political inter-
tions towards expansion or intrigue in
China. Its programme is TO maintain
perfect accord between Italy and the
other powers. a feet and some troops
represent the participation OF Italy In
the common task. We cannot leave en-
tireiy to others the protection Of our ma
t!onal representatives nor are We disin-
terestcd in the work OF mutual interests
and civilization which the powers are
seeking TO carry on In China"
1t Is said that the course OF Austria
will be practically Identical with that
of Germany. owing to the close rela-
tions between Berlin and Vienna on a.!
questions OF international policy.
''one OF the best posted members Of
the diplomatic corps who Is actively
engaged in present negotiations, to-day
summed up the international colnplI-
cation substantially as follows:
The powers were in complete accord
up to the time Of the taking OF Pek!n.
But with that accomplished the more
important questions are as TO the fu-
ture course OF the powers in dealing
with China, and on that there Is not az
yet ary complete accord. Thus far 1t
seems plain that the United States op-
poses the dismemberment OF China, or
any move towards territorial extension
there. and IN this position. Russia and
France seem to agree. On the other
hand. while there Is nothing definite IN
dicating territorial expansion, yet the
exchanges have led to the belief that
Germany, Great Britain and probably
Japan are not aversc to course which
will bring about territorial divisions
within the empire.
Japan for Dismemberment.
1T was supposed that Japan stood
against any division OF the empire, but
the landing OF Japanese troops ut Annoy
can not be accounted for on the ground
that Japanese temple has tccn burn
ed. So that 1t Ia the accepted view that
Japan Is at least making ready to be
In 4 position to share In any division of
territory which must come. The course
OF Russia in taking New Chwans can
not be Viewed In the game light rs the
landing OF troops at Annoy or Shanghai,
as this was for the sole purpose OF pro-
tecting Russian railway line and any
ulterior territorial purposes have been
disclaimed by Russia. So far as Great
Britaln's purposes arc concerned, In the
absence OF nny expressed declaration,
the landing OF troops at Shanghai Is
strong evidence that Great Britain
wishes to control the Yang Use valley,
which is tho garden OF China. On the
part OF Germany. the doubt as to her
future course Ia due mainly TO Count
Waldrrsee's speeches since the taking
OF Pekln. Thcse have Indicated that ht.
was going on an extensive campaign
and that the fall OF the Chinese capital
was only the initial step In n compr.-
hensive programme, requiring tho pres
ence OF large army. Just what this
means Ia not clear, but II has at least
created much surprise In Washington.

DeWey's Gift n
From the Children
AZ of the Northwest

Six months ago Archie Cadzow,
ment of The Minneapolis Journal,
known as the Journal Junior,
suggested to that paper that
the children of the Northwest con-
tribute from TO 25 cents each to
raise a fund to purchase watch for
Admiral George Dewey. Archie Cad
zow is Minnesota boy, living at
Rosemount- After due consideration
the scheme was revised so as TO re-
strict the contribution in each case 10
1 cent that the children of the poor
might find it no burden to participate
equally in the gift. 1t was announced
that The Journal would receive the
money and carry on the enterprise.
Then the pennies began TO roll in in
large numbers. In few days ii be-
came apparent that the Journal would
have to have help. Editors of North
western papers were appealed TO, and
as a result rs of them in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Da-
kota and Iowa agreed TO become
agents for the Dewey watch fund in
their respective towns, receiving the
pennies from the children and receipt
ing for them by the publication Of
their names

try home at Washington, beautiful

approximately $4,000 children Of the

cately inlaid in blue enamel and reads
as follows: Presented to Admiral

dren of Minneapolis and the North
west, May l, 1900; Each Donor Con-
tributed One Cent"
The case of the Dewey watch, while
modest, is at the same time one of
the richest ever made. The manufae-
turers, the American Watch Case
Company, of New York City, are au-
thority for this statement and certain
it is that they put more into the work
than they would accept for it.
