Most happily for him he has, with
Infinite credit to himself. passed through
a period OF probation in some ways
more difficult and certainly more pro-

all the invaluable experience which
the most painstaking discharge Of great
duties could secure him during the life
time Of his august mother"
The Times says:
IF anything can in some measure
console the nation for the irreparable
loss It has sustained, 1t is the we'll
founded conviction that the queen has
left behind her a worthy successor, who

TROOPS To BE WITHDRAWN.
United States Forces in China viii BE
Sent to Manila in the Spring.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says;
War department officials state that
when navigation opens in the spring
the American forces in China will be
almost entirely withdrawn, The un-
derstandng IL that Major-General Chat
fee, who is now in the volunteer SER
vice. will be appointed a major-gen-
eral in the regular establishment and
will be ordered to Manila with one
regiment and the one battery of ar
tillery now in Pekin. Upon arrival in
Manila he will succeed Major-General
Macarthur as governor-generalo Of the
Philippines,
In state department circles it is un-
derstood that the reduction Of the force
now in Pekin depends TO a considera-
BILE degree upon the progress made in
the negotiations OF the Chinese ques-
ton. The officers thoroughly appreciate
the fact that China is not yet out OF
the woods" and that the United States.
japan and Russia, the three nations
anxious for the maintenance OF her in
tegrity. must display considerable tact
and diplomacy in leading her in the
right direction.
The president seems confident that
the negotiations in view Of the signing
OF the protocol by the Chinese ENJOYS.
will eliminate in a peaceful settlement.
II Is to be expected that Germany and
Great Britain will attempt TO place OBJ
stacles in the way Of an amicable ad-
1ustment. in this action constituting the
policy that has distinguished their at
titude in the past; but with Russia and
Japan acting with the United states.
1t is believed that these obstacles can
be removed.
The Withdrawal Of the regiment Of in
fantry and battery of artillery will
leave in China a squadron OF the Sixth
cavalry. commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Wint This squadron will sub

Lieutenant Colonel Wint remaining in
command. so that the military repre-
sentatlon Of the United States in Pekin
by early summer will not be more than
100 mea provided no new emergency
arises TO necessltate the retention Of
all the troops now in Pekin.
II all the nations follow the exam
pie OF the United States. it is pointed
out that the foreign force in Pekin
this summer will not be more than SOC
men. In reducing its force it is admit
ted that the United States will set an
example which 1t is hoped other ma

Britain, will follow.
