lea TAX TO STAY
One Point Definitely Decided or
by the Ways and Means
Committee.
To Disturb the Import Tariff
Would Open Up Endless
Discussion.
Amount of the Proposed Reve-
nue. Reduction Not Finally
Agreed To.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The Repub-
ican members of the ways and means
committee met 'Sring the day to con-
slider measure Nsor the reduction Of
the war revenue tax. The most inn
portant action taken was decision not
to remove the tax of 10 cents pound
on tea. The committee will not take
up or disturb the tariff on imports as
the members claim it would open up
the whole subject Of tariff revision.
The committee will not grant any hear
ings>lwhile framing the bill, as full
hearings were given during the last
session Of congress and since then
briefs and statements of various inter-
ests have been received. Parties who
are interested, however, can file briefs
or statements with the committee.
No decision was reached as to the
amount of the reduction that is to be
made and Secretary Gage and Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue Wilson will
be heard on the subject. The secre-
tary appeared before the committee
during the day. The session of the
committee was devoted mainly to a
general discussion and no agreement
has been reached upon any of the
schedules.

STANDING ARMY OF $4,000.

President Will he Given Fower to Double
the Number When Necessary
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-High officials
connected with the war department., it
is announced in a Tribune dispatch
from Washington, say that they are
not going to ask con gress for perma.
nent enlisted strength of 1000 men
for the regular army or for an addition
to the number of officers now on the
army lists
1t is learned from authoritative
sources in the department that bill is
being prepared which will be presented
to congress, providing for permanent
minimum strength of $4,000 men in
the regular army, and at the same
time comforting authority on the presi-
dent to double this number in case of
need to 100, 600 men. This is to be
done, not by forming new regiments,
but by adding enlisted men to the ex.
listing organized companies without at
all increasing the number of commits
stoned officers. This arrangement
would bring the army more in harmony
with the modern methods of organiza.
ton which tend to large companies and
regiments.

TO DIVIDE CHINA
Prediction Made as to the Inev.
liable Outcome OF Present
Negotiations.
Demands of Powers Greater Than
tie Celestial Empire Can q
Possibly Pay.
United States Strongly Opposed
to Taking Territory Fer
Indemnity.

New YORK, Nov. 21.-The China
negotiations, according to.a dispatch to
The Times from Washington, have
reached most serious stage. The &C.
tions of the powers are making parti-
ton almost inevitable. The United
States faces the probability that it will
either have to take slice of China or
go without any indemnity. In that
case, it is positively asserted by high
authorities, that the United States will
SO without indemnity.
The United States may succeed in
reducing the demands of other powers,
and is now making every effort to that
end, but with no immediate prospect
of success. Every nation has dlsa-
vowed any intention of dismembering
China, but that merely relates to dis
membermenI as a
Punishment For Boxer Outrages.
No nation has pledged itself to avoid
taking course which will sooner or
later make dismemberment inevitable.
II is firmly believed in official circles
in Washington that the powers are
proceeding deliberately with the inten.
ton of bringing about situation
which will compel ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
The whole question hinges on the
amount Of the money indemnity to be
demanded. While the United States
has not officially set maximum figure
.or the indemnity it is the unofficial
opinion of some of the highest officers
of the government that $500, 600, 600 is
al that China can pay. The powers
are DESTROYS of swelling the indemnity
to at least twice that amount. Two
courses are considered for the
Iayment of This Large Indemnity.
Each is innocent on its face, but both
mean partition, and the American gov.
eminent is SO sure of it that as soon as
the powers adopt either course, this
country will retire from the concert
and lose all but faint chance of ever
recovering any indemnity.
OF course, it is to exact territorial
pledges. This is the same thing as par
tition, for it simply means mortgage
which is certain to be foreclosed. The
OuItcu Otdecs Will uOG lave any tu1uS
to do with this scheme.
The other plan is to have China issue
bonds, guaranteed by the powers. This,
in the opinion of the American govern.
ment, means partition just as surely
as the first scheme. The bondholders
would have recourse to the guarantors,
who could not fulfill their guarantees
except by taking territory.

One of the most disastrous fires in
the history of Brooten occurred Tue :
day a. m. about two. At this time the
people were aroused by the vigorous
ringing of the tirebell and on turning
out discovered the old Wenger store
now occupied by Moses John, general
merchandise, and Sam Olson's har-
ness shop to be on fire. Flames were
shooting out from all sides. The fire
department acted promptly and soon
had several streams. of water on the
burning building. 1t was soon seen
that it could not be saved, SO their
attention was turned to the store of
Gandrud & Co. to the north and a
vacant building on the south. After
working steadily for two hours the
fire was finally subdued and danger
past. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The losses are: Moses John,
with insurance $4,000, Balsam Bros.
on building, insurance $500. Mrs.
Ellingboe, who lost everything with
no insurance and the Gandrud Co.
about $500 from breakage and damage
by water. A purse was started in the
morning for the benefit of Mrs. Filing
Doe and family, and at last reports
over 800 had been secured to tide
them over their trouble.-Belgrade

The Boxs,dsr Bugs.

Concerning the red bugs that infest
the boxelder trees, and which are so
plentiful here, Prof. Lugg.r of the
state university says OF sample lot
sent him for examinations: The bugs
live on the underside of the leaves Of
the boxelder, piercing the leaves with
their beaks, and sucking the sap.
When cold weather comes in the fall
they leave the trees and search for
winterquarters as they pass the win
ter in the adult stage and lay eggs in
the spring. They live over winter
under wooden sidewalks, in out
houses, rubbish piles, etc. When
searching for winter quarters they
are often seen on a warm day sitting
in large crowds in sunny places on
sidewalks, tree trunks, etc. They
ought now to be killed by pouring
boiling water on them, or kerosene
oil, or sweeping them into pan, etc.
Kerosene oil must not of course be
poured on tree trunks. When still on
the trees they can be killedsby spray
ing with kerosene emulsion, but as it
takes quite a large spray pump to
spray large tree we'll, it hardly pays
one person to do it for few trees.
But II the town or city would take
hold of it, it would pay many times
over, as many other injurious insects
would be killed. The boxelder bug,
unless very numerous, does no imme-
diate serious damage, bat its presence
year after year of course greatly weak
ems the trees and retards their growth
and it ought to be killed wherever
possible.
A Village Blacksmith Saved His
Little Sons Life.
Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known village
blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co.,
NY, says: sour little son, five years
old has always been subject to Group, and
so bad have the attacks been that we have
feared many times that he would die. We
have had the doctor and used many medi-
cines, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
now our sole reliance. 1tseems to dissolve
the tough mucus and by giving frequent
doses when the croupy symptoms appear
we have found that the dreaded Group is
cured before it gets settled" There is no
danger in giving this remedy tor it contains
no opium OF other injurious drug and may
be given as confidently to a babe as to an

CABINET DISCUSSES 1T.

Chinese Question tho Main Topic Con-
sidered at tho Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The Chinese
situation was the main topic under
consideration at the cabinet meeting.
The administration is not disposed to
join with the other governments in
making demands upon the Chinese i'm.
perial authorities which the Chinese
government cannot comply with.
So far as our government is advised,
the foreign ministers at Peklng have
not yet agreed upon all points under
discussion. Mr.. Conger has reported
from time to time the various PROPOSE.
tions under consideration, but he has
not yet indicated that the end is at
hand, or that anything in the nature
of an agreement has been reached upon
which tise various powers might act
and which is to serve as basis Of ne
EQUATION with the Chinese authorities.
The Chinese emperor has not, however,
been heard from for q week, and this
has caused some discouragement to the
officials, who expected that this phase
of the difficult question would soon be
closed.
Question of Indemnities.
Having passed over the state of pro-
scription OF the Chinese leaders who
were responsible for the Boxer out
RACES the foreign ministers are believed
now to be engaged with the difficulties
of indemnities and guarantees. The
last United States proposition was in
line with the Russian project TO allow
The Hague commissioners to adjust the
ildemnities. It is believed that this
proposition has never commended itself
to the British or the German govern
ments and failing such reference to
the question of indemnity, it 10 believed
that it will be a most difficult task for
the ministers at Picking to reach an
agreement OH this subject, part. cularly
in view of the existence OF very
strong suspicion of the motives of some
of these ministers. This apparent diff.
ference in original purpose between the
United States government and some OF
the other powers have operated TO pre-
vent settlement of the chinese ques-
ton upon the broad lines laid down in
the state departments proposition.

EFFECT OF THE PEACE TREATY.

The convention agreed upon at the Peace
Congress held at The Hague last year has al last
been ratified by the United States Senate, and
the United States is therefore party to it. The
interesting question now arises, What privileges
are conferred and what duties are imposed by it
upon this country in its general relations to the
world and in its particular relations to whatever
wars controversies may be in existence?
The fundamental fact is that it is a convention
for peace, and not for mere meddling. 1t makes
every nation under 1t free to offer mediation
between any other two nations under it which
may be at war or IN danger of war with each
other, and such an offer is never to be deemed
an unfriendly act. But no nation is required to
make such an offer. If any shall do so it must
be at its own voltion, according to its own dis
erection and because 1t deems that circumstances
make such action appropriate. Moreover. if the
offer be made the duties of the woud-be medi-
atOr cease automatically the instant either of
the contentious Powers declines It, The United
States is under no legal nor moral obligation
therefore, to make any offer of mediation be-
tween any two Powers in the world. 1t may,
indeed, well be argued that 1t is practically re-
strained from so doing If either of the Powers
has in advance declared that it would not accept
such an offer
1t is further to he observed that the conven-
ton applies only TO the Powers which are par
ties to 1t. That is indicated by the words of the
document Itself. Certainly such Is the case in
respect to the one compulsory provision, namely,
the obligation, or duty as the convention calls
it, to remind quarrellng Powers that the Per-
manent Court of Arbitration is open to them
Article XVIII declares that 1t shall be the duty
of the slgnatory Powers TO soffer such n re-
minder. But when? Only when a conflict
threatens TO break out between two or more of
them" The obligation does not extend to non
signatory Powers. That we may take il, Is a
reason why no Power has offered any such re-
mlnder In the case of the present war in South
Africa. Only one of the parties to that war is
party TO the convention. The Transvaal was
not represented at The Hague We need
scarcely enter into discussion of the causes of
its non-participation In the Congress. 1t Is per-
r1nent to note. however, that Bulgaria, much
more important State, and one having more dip
lomatic recognition Of its sovereignty, was ad-
mitted to the Congress only as vassal of Tur-
key, which, OF course, ii technically Is. 1t may
therefore be assumed that the Powers deemed
the Transvaal entitled 10 admission only as a
yassal or dependent Of Great Britain. and the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-02-10

sovereign should be abandoned and the world
should give her a fair chance to show whether
she means to submit quietly to spoliation or 10
make fight for independence.
Whatever have been the faults OF the United
states in dealing with China hitherto, this coun-
try can at least claim the credit Of having in
this latest crisis stood for a large measure of
equity to China, in respecting her domestic in
tegrity and in standing for the preservation of
her independence That, assume, is what
the open door" means In its last analysis. 1t
means that China is to be dealt with as a
ereign nation, maintaining like relations with
the other Powers of the world, and Is not to be-
come the prey or the dependent of any one
Power or league of Powers. A like declaration
of policy on the part of all other Powers would
largely answer the reasonable demands of Mr.
WI for definite dealing. China would then
know exactly what TO expect She would know
precisely what was the basis of her intercourse
with the rest of the world. And 1t would rest
with her to show whether or not she was
worthy of such status. Such a course would be
eminently creditable to the world, and 1t would
absolve the nations of Europe from RESPONSE
bility which none can wish to bear. For if the
policy of you'll be damned if you do and be
damned If you don't" be applied to China those
who apply 1t will make themselves morally If
not legally responsible for all the disasters that
policy may bring-and is sure TO bring-not only
upon China, but upon all that are in any way
connected with her.
