ORDERS TO CHAFFEE.
Further Reduction in the American
Force at Pekinu.

Further Reduction in the American
Force at Picking.
Washington, March 4.-Carrying
out the policy inaugurated by the state
department when it changed it's mill
tary force in China into legation
guard, the war department has sent
orders to General Chaffee to still
further reduce his force. The general
now has under his command about
1900 men. Although nominally a le-
cation guara General Chaffee's force
is Of rather formidable offensive
quantity and not DESTROYS of retaining
an unnecessary menace TO the Chi
nese court and in order to hold out in
ducements for it's early return to Pc:
king the United States government
some time ago determined upon a
further reduction of the American
force and the orders went forward.
Considerable discretion was left to
General Chaffee in the selection Of
the troops to remain, and it is as
sumed at the department that the
Picking dispatches announcing that
these consist of two companies of the
Ninth infantry under Major Robert
son is correct. If the other powers
represented at Peking can be induced
to follow this policy it is hoped that
a long step will have been effected
toward the restoration of normal con-
ditions at Peking.
1t is said at the war department that
the arrangements have not yet been
made for bringing away the troops
from Picking, and it is believed that
this cannot be done before the ice
clears out of the Pei river, which is
usually some time in the latter part
of March.

Orange river widens and the current

London, March 4.-General Dewet
lost heavily in men and stores by his
incursion into Cape Colony, but he
seems to have made a clever escape
with the bulk of his commando. APP
parently Commandant Hertzog crossed
the Orange river with him.
General Hamilton, who was pursu-
ing, heard that General Dewet was
surrounded at Philipstown. north OF
Colesberg. On arriving there he
found the Beers had not been at Phil
ipstown at all, but had doubled back
and were struggling across the river
at Colesberg. Apparently this is an
other instance of defective intelli-
gence regarding the doings of the
Beers.
The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch
from Co1esberg which says: "Our
numerous columns are still hunting
for Dewet. This place is in a hubbub
and the troops are marching off in
various directions to press the pur-
suit further"

means and who have confidence in the staying qualities of the market and look for the maintenance of activity through the summer months. They regard the underlying conditions as es- sentially strong, and, while conceding the transient effects of the past shock and in no disposition to prematurely force up prices, they yet regard the workings of the railroad deals as destined to produce permanent eleva- curities, thus the very causes that have temporarily overthrown the market are looked to for a widespread con- solidation of our investment interests. Another fact not to be left out of cal culations Is that the securities of the largest corporation in the world have been submitted to a severe market test very early in their existence and have evidenced recuperative powers that ought to allay any apprehension. Fortunately the shock in Wall street has scarcely had momentary effect upon industrial and commercial inter- ests. The harvest prospects are en- couraging and the south and west still maintain their extraordinary prosper ity. Credit operations are in a sound and healthy condition. The money market, though subject to healthy demand, is backed by unprecedented loanable resources. For the moment gold is going to Europe, not however from any adverse commercial move ment, but rather on account of ex- change operations tending to place American balances at the service or foreign markets. The April report of the bureau of statistics shows con- tinued increase in the exports, and the total foreign trade of the fiscal year 19O0-o1 is expected to show an ex- cess of exports over imports amount ing to $7oo, 1000 ,o0o, the largest creditor balance in the history of our foreign commerce"

Such of the Washington relics which were taken from Arlington house atthe beginning of the civil war, and which have been on exhibition in the national museum for some years, as she de- sired, were this week turned over to Miss Mary Custis Lee, representing her brother General c. W. Lee, their legal owner, by the Unted States gov ernment. Several of the relics, in- cIuding one of Washingtbn's tents, a treasure chest, lantern, and glass candelabra, were left in the national museum, subject to the order of the owner General Fitz Lee, her cousin, accompanied Miss Lee in her visit to the museum. The final disposition of the articles removed from the museum has not been determined upon. This act of rightful restitution has not ser iously injured the Washington exhibit, in the museum, as many of the articles were large pieces of furniture, which have been stored away, and others were duplicates of articles which prop erly belong to the government.

What will Monday bring to the work men of Waterbury? That is a ques- ton which will De asked over and over again tomorrow. Perhaps many of the men interested will know what to expect tonight. This is time for cool headedness and good Judgment The nine-hour day has been longed and looked for, and now that it is within sight no misstep should be made. And why should not the machinists get the nine-hour day? Men in other trades work nine, and some of them only eight. Take the linotype operators, for instance; eight hours is all they are asked to work. The manufacturers should remember that we are progress ing. We are in a new century. Men read, study and learn more than they once did, and this requires more time than they can spare. if they are com pelled to give nearly half of each day to earning their daily bread. Let every man interested think about the matter seriously tomorrow. The Hartford Post says of the situation in that city: "Such a strike is greatly to be deplored from any point of view, It appears to be inevitable, however unless some disinterested body can come to the rescue and secure a har- monious settlement of the questions at issue. Is the community helpless in such a case? Is there no opportunity for reaching peaceful and satisfac- tory settlement of the question? Must a strike that may result in serious loss to individuals, the interruption of busi- ness and possible riot and bloodshed be endured as the inevitable result of a failure of the employees and em- ployers to settle their differences among themselvesY
