PEKEN. Jan. 9-tG:40 p m)--WhiIe
the Empress Dowager has not sent word
in reply TO the telegram Of Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching, the Chinese peace plen-
ipotentiaries, which insisted that China
must accept the terms in the preliminary
demand note of the ministers, q message
came from her today which indicates that
there viii be further complications in the
situation.
In this telegram the Empress Dowager
said she would infiict the severast punish
was demanded in the preliminary note Of
the ministers. but on no others, and that
that must END the matter
The ministers. she said could not con-
tiuue sending in the names Of other Off
Gals and demanding their punishment She
would insist on the punishment clause in
the note and the names mentioned in the
edict of September Is.
Under the provisions of the punishment
clause, the Ministers have been compil-
ing lists of officials whose punishment is
10 be demanded. These lists viii proba-
bly, contain the names of one hundred
persons
The ministers say they viii insist OF
the punishment of everyone whose name
is on these lists, so that TO those whose
names are in the punishment clause may
be added many others. These are the
ones to whose punishment the Empress
Dowager objects and. this is likely to
cause more trouble than anything that
has occurred so far.
The Germans say they viii ask that
Prince Chun, a brother OF the Emperor
be appointed 10 visit Germany and make
atouemeDt TO Emperor William for the
murder Of the German Minister. Baron
Won KetteIer, in compliance with article
1 Of the preliminary note. China will
probably. agree 10 this

NAVY NEEDS LINE OFFICERS.
Secretary Long Suggests II Plan fol
Prov IdIHG Them.


Providing Them.
The Navy Department finds itself in
need Of SOS line officers for present and
immediate future requirements. 1t is
hardly likely that much relief can be Sc
cured IN this matter for several years,
since there are alone IN the grades OF en-
sign and Junior lieutenant Isl vacauies.
Secretary Longs remedy is 10 increase
the number Of annual appointments to the
Naval Academy by allowing each Senator
one more eadetship and the President
from twenty 70 thirty additional. This
might IN time, he believes, provide sufi-
cient officers to prevent vacancies and in
tine gradually add to the number in the
lower grades. The act Of the last sess on
creating vacancies every four instead Of
six years is now leading to larger classes
graduating. but the effect Will not be felt
for year CT two yet.
In accordance with the suggestion of
The Navy Department, the Naval Commit
tee Of the House has decided TO incorpo-
rate IN the Naval Appropriation bill a

THE COUNTRY is PROSPEROUS

New York Times: The country is
extraordinarily busy. The money is
all at work, and at work profitably.
This fact removes all doubt about the
possibility Of procuring the money
needed to supply the interior demand
of the next four months. Money comes
where it can be profitably used. Some
thirty million is expected from the
Yukon region, of which a part has al
ready arrived at San Francisco. In
creased national bank circulation and
bond purchases by the treasury are
sources from which additions to the
supply will come If the need presses.
The payment Of the public debt for
the account Of the sinking fund is q
perfectly proper use for the surplus
funds Of the government whenever
the treasury holds too much cash and
the outside supply has been heavily
