CHING MAY SIGN.

The Prince Feels Bound to Ratify Be-
cause of Former Announcement,
Pekin, Jan. 9.-The protest Of the
viceroy of Yang Use against the signing
of the official joint note created little
surprise here, but the fact that the 9th
er southern viceroys protested, causing
the court to instruct the plenipotentia-
ries not to sign the note, created great
sensation in Pekin. The agreement
has not yet been presented for sigma
ture. The ministers believe, however,
that Prince Ching is too irreyocably
bound verbally and think he will sign.
Lii Hung Chang is invisible to the
public. His attendants claim he is sui
fering from serious relapse, though
many persons think his relapse was
made convenience, so the signing of
the note would be delayed until the
court can be heard from again.
Won Rogue, nephew of Count Won
Waldersee, rode 20 miles Monday
bringing news of battle between the
Chinese and German troops to the north
east of Pekin. Three companies OF in
fantry and one troop of Uplans met 2OOO
Chinese. An engagement ensued in
which 200 Chinese were killed and SOC
wounded. Three German soldiers were
killed and one officer and several men
wounded. The remainder of the Chi.

method to be pursued to reach speedy
and effective disposition of the claims
for indemnity.
Europe will be allowed to deal with
the Russo Chinese agreement, the
United States not entering, for the pres
emit at least into the discussion, or i'm
pugning Russia's purpose to evacuate
Manchuria. At the same time the au-
thorities think it advisable for the pro-
lection of American interests to keep
ADVISED of Russia's conduct, although 1t
is not watched with the keenness with
which every act of Germany and Great
Britain is scrutinized.
1t is understood that the next cabinet
meeting will consider the Chinese ques-
tion, especially with relation to the in
demnity and it is expected that this
government will finally recommend that
the matter be left to The Hague court OF
arbitration.

ASPHALT CONCESSIONS.
One of the Serious Phases I'm the Matter
Has Been Removed.


Washington, Jan. 9.-One Of the Sc
rious phases of the Venezuelan asphalt
controversy has been removed by the
dispersal of the rebel forces which have
been operating against the Caracas gov
ernment.
Minister LOOMS has wired that the
revolutionary forces under General Pesez
have been completely crushed. The
Caracas government can, therefore, adj
dress itself to the task of preserving or
der in the territory involved i'll the
trouble between the New York and Bur-
mudese cOmrany and the Warner-Quln-
lan-Sullivan syndicate.
Apprehension that the Venezuelan
government would eject the men pro-
tecting the New York and Bermudese
eompany's property has been lessened
but the authorities would not be sur
prised should persons i'll the employ OF
the Warner Quinlan-Sullivan syndicate,
acting under the decree published by
the Caracas government, attempt to
take possession of the territory specified
therein. Such an attempt would bring
on a conflict of arms between American
citizens.
Minister LOomis has not only urged
the Venezuelan government not to take
action itself until a decision has been
rendered by the supreme court of Ven
ezuela or until the United States has
completed its investigation, but he also
has requested it to preserve the peace.
AS showing that better feeling pre-
walls in official circles regarding the
trouble, the cruiser Buffalo sailed on
Saturday for Santa Lucia as result of
consultation with the state department
Secretary Long has ordered the Hart
ford TO resume her cruise. The ScOr-
pion the only vessel at La Guayara.
| The department has been, and is, very
careful not to become involved in the
trouble, and is keeping alOOf from sup
porting the New York and Bermudese
company or the Warner-Quinlan-Sulli-
van syndicate. Its policy is to protect
the New York and Bermudese COM
pany's concession until its claim is le-
gally passed upon, and, if the Warner
Quinlan syndicate is victorious
twill see that it is protected i'll the ell

The Work OF the Muster.

Tho genial editor Of the Wostbroo<
Gazette thinks the newspapers too
prone to pass out indiscriminate com
1nenda ton rather than discriminating
criticism in their reports of the mus
ter. There is doubtless much to justify
this view of the case and yet the boys,
as a whole. have done wonderfully
well this season. and deserve most of
the good things said Of them. No one
denies that there is room for i'm
provement-lots of il. This may be
said of any military organization. and
vet the progress made during the
present encampment has been. on the
whole. both gratifying and cIeditable.
There have been occasional lapses from
grace on the part of individuals, a
number of which have been duly noted
in our local department. Now and
then an individual or a small group of
them have made breaks that have been
q disgrace to their uniforms. but the
conduct of the troops as a whole has
been excellent. and in point of hard
conscientious work performed and re-
suits attained we feel confident that
the muster of 1901 will compare very
favorably with those of the past.

The Return q, General Macarthur.

sUC NCtuVU W OCbSsSs so~VO0Nss
The American people will be glad to
GiNc General Macarthur a cordial
welcome home from the Philippines.
His work there has stamped him as
a skillful and energetic military lead
er, as well as clear-headed and tact
ful administrator of public functions.
For a considerable period prior 20 the
inauguration of civil government in
Manila General Macarthur performed
the duties Of both a encouragement
and commander n-chief in the Philip
pines. In this dual capacity he won
the respect and confidence of the ma
tives. as well as the grateful apprecia-
ton of his countrymen at home.
Naturally the views of such a man,
whose integrity and high intelligence
no one can question. and who has en-
ioyed ample opportunity to know
whereof he speaks. will carry great
weight with the American people.
In an l.lleTNlcN AT San L dIiciStp ia't
Sunday General Macarthur said:
The whole territory is paciiieG,
but not tranuuiized. but il will not he
many months before law ana order are
observed everywhere.
While the conditions are not perfect.
they are gratifying. \ few groups of
armed insurgents are still at large. but
they will soon surrender, as their power
is broken and they are not being aided
by the natives. These natives have
come to see that surrender does not
mean death and they are coming in
every week with their rifles.
Throughout northern LuZon the in
suTrection has been dead for some time
and there is freedom of movement.
Still a large criminal class there com
mits depredations on Americans ard
natives though the latter suffer the
most severely.
The natives are eagerly seeking the
establishment Of civil government that
they may root out these bands of Grim
inals There is every reason to believe
that The whole country will soon be
perfectly safe for travellers.
AT present there is some trouble in
Samar. but Gen. Hughes with "A large
and effective force. has gone after
them. and Will soon bring the insur-
gents To their senses. That is the
worst place. but it is not interfering
with the coast business.
In Cebu and Bohal and occasionally.
in southern Luzon there is a slight out
break, but it is caused by the criminal
element.
The civil commission was about to
put in force some excellent ideas for
the municipal government of the city
of Manila when | left. The city is in
excellent condition. especially in its
sanitary departments. and its growth
in business has been enormous"
The transformation wrought in the
city Of Manila by the genius of Ameri
can enterprise has been little short of
miraculous. and to this good work Cen
eral MacArthur has contributed not a
little by his clear-headed grasp Of
affairs and his exceptional administra-
tive abilities The American people
are justly proud of him and the SPLEEN
did record he has made.

If the English government should
arm the Kafiirs in South Africa it
would secure strong allies, for these
people are a warlike race, Injured to
the climate and thoroughly familiar
with the country. They have. more
over. little love for the Beers who
have never been very tactful or tender
in their treatment of the native races.
To employ such allies in civilized war
fare, however. would be contrary to the
enlightened spirit of the age. 1t would
bring upon England the just con-
demnation of all Christian people and
is not likely TO be done. Public senti-
ment is n potent influence among ma
tons as well as among individuals.
