following description, said to be from Of
fetal sources. of the action at Taku: "On
the afternoon of June 16 in view of the
large bodies of Chinese troops assembling
at the forts and of the facts that torpedoes
had been laid in the river and that all
communications were interrupted. the
naval commanders held a council and de-
cided to send an ultimatum, calling for
the disbandment of the troops and an
nouncing that if this demand were not
complied with before a m. of the follow
ing day the united squadron would de-
stroy the forts. Shortly after midnight
the forts opened fire. The British, French,
German and Japanese warships replied
Two of the forts were blown up, and the
rest were carried by assault. Two Brit
ish. one American and five Chinese war
ships are in Che-Foo harbor.''
The morning papers consider that state
OF war practically exists and that the is
sue is between Eastern and Western civili-
zation. The Times says that the latest
news infinitely increases a situation al
ready sufficiently serious.

actual war breaks out between the powers
having interests in China and the disor-
derly elements of that ancient empire, IL
will be absolutely necessary for the United
States to decide on its course and to ad-
here 10 IL. A diplomat who declined to be
quoted. speaking of the situation to-day.
said: eff the developments in China are
such as to demand combined action by the
powers TO restore peace and order, the
United States cannot afford to stand aioof.
To do so would result in its being told.
when the hour arrived for settling the fu-
ture relations of China and the rest OF the
world, to remain outside and keep silent;
that, having done nothing TO pacify China,
it was entitled to no voice or part In de-
termining the fate of China On the con-
trary, by acting in concert with the other
powers. the United States would be en-
titled to voice in settling the future OF
the most populous nation on earth, ana IL
would be a potential voice This course
would not be a violation of the American
principle of no entanging alliances for
the taking of this course would not mean
an alliance with the other intervening pow
ers or any one of them, but simply COM
bined action for the common good Of all
concerned"
IL the situation should eyentuate in war
the assembling of Congress, OF course,
would be a necessity. The executive branch
can go to great lengths in protecting the
lives of It's citizens abroad, official or pri-
vate, and its own interests, but II war en-
sues when Congress is not in session 1t
would necesitate the convening Of that
body for the purpose of voting men and
supplies to conduct it. The limit OF the
army at present. regular and volunteer, is
100000 men. The only power that can in
crease it is Congress, and il is the only
power than can provide the money needed
to conduct war. So the question of an ex-
ira session of Congress this summer rests
with the '.heathen Chinee."
A little incident that shows that such
question is in the minds of those respon-
sible for the government Is that the work
men engaged in renovating the Capitol.
work always done when Congress is not in
session, has been ordered to stop for the
present The inference is that there is
possibility that Congress will be summoned
before that work could be completed.

He War with China.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. June 1s.-The crisis in
China may result in the President issuing
a proclamation reconvening Congress at
an early date. The advisability, or rather
the possible necessity of so doing, is being
considered by the President and his ad-
visers. Whether Congress be called to-
gether again or not will depend altogether
on the developments in China. That the
situation there is very grave is recognized
on all hands. That it may lead to war is
unfortunately more than possible, even
probable. That the United States must in
terfere for the protection of the lives OF its
citizens and its own interests is universally
conceded. Although the Ninth Infantry,
now in Luzon. is under orders to proceed to
the scene OF the troubles, its departure
from Manila has, however, been delayed
by a typhoon. other troops could be
rushed to China from the Philippines to
the number of $1,000 If the necessity arises.
tho.gh If this were done it would be necee-
sary to replace them as fast as troop,
could be dispatched thither from the United
states.
The President has not adopted any hard
and fast programme as TO China. but is
prepared to meet each new phase Of the
Chinese situation as It develops. He has
not decided 10 call Congress together. but
that course is one OF the things now be-
tns considered II order is not restored. tf

After being introduced by Chairman ]. r.
Burton, of the delegation, General Greene
said Governor Roosevelt asked me TO say
that he regretted his inability to be with
you. He asks to be excused, as he is just
now engaged in an important consultation.
From all directions comes the demand that
he stand for Vice President, and 1t is for
him to say. Speaking for myself. 1 will
say that we want him to remain Governor
of New York. AS Vice President he would
preside over the Senate. and only in that
contingency-whch we would all so deplore,
the death of the President-would he be
called upon to exercise the larger func-
tions, for which he is so well fitted. He
will be reelected Governor of New York
We have no doubt as To that For that
reason he sincerely hopes that he will be
able to remain in New York and there
continue the work he has taken up, without
being called to the vice presidency
General Greene then referred TO the re-
markable and historical tribute now being
paid to President Mckinley of a unani-
nous nomination, without a shadow of
dissent. Then recurring TO Mr. Roosevelt
he said: DOUBTLESS Governor Roosevelt
would be the unanimous choice IL he per-
mitted the use of his name. But he can do
a great deal more for the Republican party
as Governor of New York. no one can
tell who will be named on Thursday. but
IL IL should come about that any other of
New Yorks worthy sons is presented to
the convention we would hope that Kansas
would give him the same hearty support
that it has given TO Governor Roosevelt
Chairman Burton. answering for the del
egation. said they were all heartily desir-
Gus Of having the vice presidency so
shaped as to bring strength. and that KAN
