NO EXPLANATION
Received In London a. to the waIdersss
Expedition.

London, February sO.-It was learned
BY q representative OF the Associated
Press that the British government to-
night Is without any further officisl ex-
planation OF Field Marshal Count Won
walderssss action in planning an extern
sive expedition In China. The govern
ment expects to receiye, tomorrow, ad-
vices from Berlin, officially setting forth
the motive for the recent orders issued by
the commsnder-in-ohief Of the lnterna-
tionaI forces In China. In fact, such ex-
PLANTATION has been asked for In order
that the cabinst, at Fridays meeting
may have some satisfactory basis for its
deliberations on the Chiness question.
However, 1t Is pretty well unoiiiciaily
understood In downing street that Won
Waldersee s action was purely due to
desire to ''bluff" the Chinese.
The action OF the British members OF
parliament and papers, especially the
London Times, in calling IL q "bluff'i
causes the greatest ohsgrin and he's given
rise to the feellng that 1t is impossible 10
meet Chinese tnessee with similar
weapons.
"The concert OF powers" said an
official to the representative Of the Asso-
oiate1 Press. "is so unwieldIy and Is
composed OF so many different sections
and sub-sections, that diplomacy is out
of the question. II every move made Is
subject to similar treatment as this last

fore Commissioner FisKe. he pleaded
not guilty and after an examination was
held in $1,000 for the March term of the

he was arrested, according to the allega-

At the examination Dalton denied that
he passed the coins maIioiously, and he
doubted very much that he ever had them
in his posse sSion. lie said that IL he
had had them he was certainly not
aware that they were plugged and passed
them innocently. AssiEtant District At
torDey Casey asked that the defendant be
held In view OF the fact, as was alledged,
that he had go many spurious coins In
his possession ana as he had been identi-
fed with such positiveness by the men
connected with the cafe. If he had but
single coin MIR. Casey said that he
woulc not ask to have him held.

After the presentation of the itemized
account of 1899, MIR. Burleigh says:
"A statement OF the cause OF the pres
snt printing deficiency must start with
the fact that within = comparatively few
years some ten state deDartments and
commissions have been created by the
legislature in addition to q number or
new duties imposed upon the old ones
by statute law. AS result OF this and
;he steady growth In ths legisla tive
prip ting, the deficiency in the printing
appropriation for 1897, for ten months
Of 1898 and for por tion OF 1896 which
came over into 1897, amounted to s.. l40
06. The present deficiency which covers
the months OF November and December,
1888, the year 1899 and ths work complet-
ed in 1900 Ia 81, 1856 20 larger. Abont 5000
OF this Is printing which has usually
been carried into the new year, but
which was completed and returned by
the auditor on December 10th in season
to be moulded in .hs bill of the past year.
The causes for the Dalancs are as follows:
"lst-The growsh of business in the de-
partments.
"2d-Extra printing occasioned by the
war with Spain, and the subsequent
reorganization of the militia.
"3i-Extra reports and memorials or
dered by the Legislature.
"4th-The marked al vance In the price
of paper stock, beginning In the fall of
1859.
ANY estimate on printing for the year
1901 must necessarily be based upon the
figures for 1899. A considerable portion
OF the work of any year is determined by
the special conditions obtaining at the
time, some OF which may never occur
again. There is no way to determine In
advance the printing OF legislative ses-
sion. The reports of the state depart
ments vary constantly from year to year
both in their scope ana character, and
the hundreds OF small items of misoel-
laneous printing used in their daily work
are constantly hanging. A report which,
