A CONFERENCE OF THE POWERS
SUGGESTED.

Thus far the Powers have worked to-
gether tremendously in their operations
in China But the time is close at hand
when IL will require the highest diplomacy
and the exercise of good judgment and
great patience to enable them to get along
together. Our government has suggested
the necessity for a conference of the
Powers 1t is evident that if the movement
on Pekin is to be effective there must be
concert of action. Everything must move
like clock work.
II is important that the allied forces
shall have but one commander. Which
Power shall furnish the command
ing general? That is question
that will not be easily settled.
And in the appointment of other
officers iealousies are likely to crop out.
How many troops is each of the Powers
to furnish? That is another question about
which there is certain TO be a difference
of opinion. The thought is thrown out that
as the United States have no sphere of
influence" in China they ought not TO be
expected to furnish as many as those
countries which have large interests al
stake. This thought is thrown out by our
own government, however and is not likely
TO meet with the approval of other Pow
ers. II will be said that the open-door
policy has been agreed to, and that there
fore the commercial interests of the Uni
ted States in China are now or soon
will be, as great as those of any other
nation
After the disturbances are settled there
will be questions to be settled that are
likely to cause trouble. Suppose the
Powers undertake 10 set UP a government
in China and sustain il? How long would
il be before they would be qnarrelng
among themselves? 1t will be recalled that
the United States, Germany and Great
Britain Gould not get along tremendously
In their effort 10 jointly sustain a govern
ment in the Samoan Islands What pros
pect would there be of all of the Powers
agreeing as to what it would be best
to do in the government Of China? Hon.
James Bryce, in an article in the New York
Evening Post of last Saturday, reviewing
the situation in China. in speaking of the
difficulty of several Powers exercising
joint control over some other government,
said: There is nothing in politics SO diff
cult nothing so prolific of misunderstand-
ings and suspicious which may ultimately
lead TO war as the attempt of several
mutually jealous Powers to exercise
joint control over some other government
or territory And it is chiefly for this req
son that those in Europe who look beyond
the immediate business of rescue and pro-
lection into the problems which the flu
ture must bring upon US, and bring be-
fore long, deem those problems to be
among the hardest which statesmen in our
days have been called upon to solve"

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.

The President will not call Congress to-
gether ia extra session to consider the
questions growing out of the uprising in
China unless it becomes absolutely neces-
sary for him to do so. He does not want
Congress and a presidential campaign on
his hands at the same time. The situa-
ton in China, however, is becoming very
serious. All the indications are that It
is going to take many thousands of
troops TO restore order there. If the re-
sistsnce 10 an advance on Pekin should
be as great as the resistance shown at
Tien Tsin an army of 100000 would be
needed to open way TO the Chinese cap
tal.
The United States are expected to fur
nish their share of troops. They have
very small number at Ten Tsin at pres
ent. Where are they TO get more? 1t IS
said that The war department might sue
coed In getting together about 5000 addi-
tional troops for China by taking a few
from each OF the following places. name
ly. Cuba, Porto Rico the Philippines and
a number Of companies from the army
posts ia the West There is. of course, a
large number of troops in the Philippines
somewhere near b90O0-but Gen. MacAr-
thur says that he cannot spare any of
them. Indeed only recently he called for
additional troops The insurgents are
active and aggressive. and he Is finding 1t
difficult to hold them in check with the
force which he has at his command.
There Is no doubt that the Filipino lead
ers are well Informed as to what is taking
place in China, and they would be quick
TO take advantage of the weakening of
our forces in the Philippines. No doubt
they are watching to see how many of
our Philippine troops are sent to China.
The war in tho Philippines is not over yet
by any means though Gen. Otis said it
was when he left the islands. Gen. Mac
Arthur has been doing great deal of
fighting ever since ne has been In su-
preme command.
The fact must not be overlooked that he
has to cover very large territory with
small army. With larger force he would
be able to pursue the guerilla bands of
insurgents. Now he cannot DO more than
hold the widely scattered posts at which
his troops are stationed. II he were TO
abandon any one of these posts the I'M
preston would get abroad among the
Filipinos that the United States had to
come to the conclusion they could not
hold the islands. An impression of that
sort would lead TO the undoing of much
Of that which has been done
1t would be a mistake to withdraw SOL
diers from the Philippines for service in
China. If many more troops are srequired
for service in China volunteers will have
to be called for, and Congress will have
10 be called together for the purpose OF
giving authority 10 enlarge the army and
to provide the means for conducting mill
tary operations in China. 1t will be known
probably within very few days whether
or not there will be an extra session of
Congress. The President and his cabinet
are waiting patiently and anxiously for
news from China, hoping that the dis
patches will show that the situation is
improving, and that there is a prospect
that the Chinese government will soon be
able to compel respect for its authority.

now, that the single breasted frock will
be quite the thing this season, to the very
great joy OF tailors and the corresponding
dismay of many of the fellows who will
have to provide themselves with new
coats The new style coat. il is said. will
prove more comfortable than the old dou-
bic breasted frock, such as our public
men have been obliged to wear for the
past several seasons. But why did no.

There has been considerable speculation
as to the cause of the Boxer uprising.
There is no longer any occasion for il.
The real cause has been disclosed by Col.
James Hamilton Lewis In an interview
with the Washington Post, on Monday
last Col. Lewis said: Il charge the Chi
nese outbreak directly upon the RepuDli-
can COMMUNICATION All who have any
acquaintance with Mr.. Lewis know that
he would not make a charge of this sort
unless he were certain of his facts. There
fore il may be considered as settled that
the Republican party is responsible for
the outrages which have been committed,
and which are still being committed, in
China. When the troubles in China have
been settled it is probable that the Euro
pean Powers will turn 10 the United
States and demand to know what the pur-
pose of the Mckinley administration was
in bringing about the outbreak in China.
Mr. Mckinley may deny that he is respon-
sible for it, but no doubt Col. Lewis will
be on hand with proof sufficient to con-
vince England, Russia. Germany and the
rest of the Powers that Mr.. Mckinley is
not telling the truth 1t win be great
day for Mr.. Lewis when the opportunity
presents itself for him to prove TO the
world that Mr. Mckinley, Mr.. Hanna and
some other worthless of the Republican
party actually caused the Chinese rioters
to murder the members of the legations
and the missionaries in Pekin

greatest extravaganza in Director Rath-

Rathbone amount 10 $91, SO, of which
5000 is on account of double payment Of

allowed. Among Rathbone's bills were
nearly 1900 for household furniture and

an overcoat and trunk. Among the
items for cost OF repairs to his official
residence were the following: Placing gas

bathtubs, $3.50; plumbing, material. la
