AMERICAS ADVICE REGARDING

Foreign Powers Give Evidence Of =
Distinct veering Around to the
Advice Of. the Washington Cow
eminent Tint the Powers Clear
Out of China as Soon as Possible
Threatened Battle Is Avoided
by the Chinese Withdrawing
From the Threatening Positions.

Paris, April 81. The French for
eign office declares that the Franco
German expedition to the borders Of
the province of Chilli, China, has been
abandoned owing to the fact that Ii
Hung Chang has assured the ministers
that the emperor has ordered the Chi
nese generals to withdraw from the
threatening positions they held. 1t is
also stated that it has been decided
that the foreign contingents to remain
shall consist of 1000 troops to each ma
ton. This number will be further re-
duced when the forts have been RACED
and the road from Pekin to Taku thor
oughly safeguarded.
After inquiries in diplomatic circles
your correspondent is convinced that
there is distinct veering noticeable
in favor of following the advice of the
government at Washington-that Is,
for the powers to clear out of China as
soon as possible.
The foreign office states that DR..
Mumm Won Schwartzenstein, the Ger
man minister at Pekin, has made some
reservations in regard to the proposals
of his colleagues for the reduction OF
the effective fighting force to be main
tanned in the country.
M. Pichon, the French minister at
Pekin, has induced his fellow members
of the diplomatic corps to agree to a
proposition that the provisional gov
eminent at Tien-tsin shall be handed
over to native authorities before the
evacuation of the place by the allies.

GET OUT OF CHINA.
Foreign Ministers Arrange for Evac-
uatiOm.


uatfOn.
Pekin, April 2O.-The foreign minis
tiers yesterday approved the main fea-
lures of the report Of the generals,
mentioned in previous dispatches, pro-
vtding for the razing of the Chinese
forts between Pekin and the sea, the
establishment of military posts at
certain points and the gradual evacu-
alton of China by the allied troops.
1t is probable that the evacuation
will begin by the foreign troops leav-
ing Foatingfu, provided there is no COLI
.lision between the Chinese troops and
the French and Germans during the
march of the present expedition. Sew
eral persons of prominence think that
the evacuation of China should depend
upon the emperor's agreement to re.
part of the journey here should be
completed and capable native authors
ty restored before the allies evacuate
Pekin, otherwise bedlam will prevail
and the impression among the Chinese
will be that the foreigners were
afraid to remain.
Ii Hung Chang has telegraphed En-
peror Kwang Su and the governor Of
the province of Shansi, recommending
the withdrawal Of the Chinese troops
from the border, but Gen. Liu, if his
boasting means anything, will remain
to fight the German and French troops
sent to oppose his advance.
Winter Palace Destroyed.
Washington, April 20.-The destruc-
ton of the winter palace at Pekin, oc-
cupied by Count Won Waldersee, may
prove serious. Intense feeling has been
aroused among the Chinese over the
occupation of the empress dowagel's
palace by Count Won Waldersee and
his military staff. This military occu-
patton of the imperial palaces was a
moving cause for the rejection of the
overtures for the return of the imperial
family to Pekin. Now that the palace
is destroyed it may have a bearing or.
the return of the imperial family, for,
under Chinese usage, the imperial
family must occupy those exclusive
quarters reserved for them within the
prohibited precincts.
Berlin, April 2O.-Field Marshal Won
Waldersee reports that the best part
Of the winter palace at Pekin was de-
stroyed by fire last evening. Gen.
Waldersee escaped from the burning
palace through a window with great
difficulty. Gen. Schwartzkopf, who
was Count Won Waldersees chief of
staff, appears to have lost his life by
returning to the burning building after
having escaped from it. Incendiarism
Is suspected.

The defeat of bill appropriating
$50,0OO,0OO, by a single senator, exer-
cising his right of unlimited debate
was striking incident of the closing
hours Of the session of congress. 1t is
not even without a certain amusing
aspect. He will be a wise statesman
who can find a way to establish mean
between the system which permits, to
one member, such power of obstruction,
and the unlimited power of majority

Washington. April 1S.-The cabinet
did not consider the Chinese question
yesterday. Secretary Hay had no new,
light to throw upon the question that
offered q ray Of hope. All the informa-
t1on coming to the state department
rs OF the most discouraging character.
ut Is a game of grab at Pekin, with
loot and murder in the name of war;"
said high official. THE men in Pc
kin are simply piling up claims against
China without regard to her ability to
pay. and the expeditions out into the
provinces are for no other purpose
than to kill Chinese and loot their
property. The administration is anx-
ious to have Gen. iChaffee and his men
get away. They have upheld the char
acter of the allied, army for months
past, and the Chinese officials wish
them to remain in Pekin But this
request will not be granted Chaffee
and his men, with the exception Of a
legation guard, will go to the Philip
pines, and the allied commanders in
China may do as they please. They

! This government receives little en-

Chinese government. The only hope is
in changing the attitude Of Germany.
The smaller powers, without RESPONSE

The administration is very much
dissatisfied with the whole Chinese sit
uation, as it offers no prospect for an
early solution. The representatives Of
the powers at Pekin are men Of small
consequence in their home govern
ments and have no initiative power.
They can do nothing without first con-
/ sulting the home government.

are to the effect that the surveyors
have laid out the "Y'' track connecting
the grade toward Aberdeen with the
line now operated from Cakes nearly
to Bismarck. The grade lis being lev

that the ties and iron have been al
ready ordered with which to close the

There is every assurance that the 500

The Chancellor OF the ExcIicauer
Makes the Startling Statement to-
Parliament That the Wnr I'M
south Africn Has brought tho
Country to the Verge Of Tuin--
Plan Is Proposed for Increasing
Taxation - Imperial nuLget sub;
nlittel to Parliament. @ lss..

London, April Parliament reas-,
sembled yesterday and listened to the
remarkable statement Of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach that the South African
war had brought the country to the
verge Of ruin. The statement was
greeted with vociferous cheers by the
opposition.
The chancellor gave in detail the plan,
for increasing the taxation, and said
that a reasonable amount must bel
placed upon the taxpayers Of the day.
During the last five years." said the
chancellor, I'VE have been invariably
able to congratulate the house on al
general increase in the prosperity OIL
the country, but In 1900, especially the
last six months, there has been shown
symptoms Of change. Our foreign
trade during the year considerably in
creased, but in value rather than. in
volume. AS to the national debt, It'll
stands in painful contrast with last
year. But the funded debt has de-
creased by G1,425,00O. April the mai
tional debt stood at e6S7, SOC, 900, an in
crease of G55,OO0,OO0 on account of the
war;" II
| Turning to the present year the chan-I
cellor of the exchequer said that the
total estimated expenditures was
9lS7.6000O0. On the existing basis til
was estimated that the revenue would
be s132,255, 900, leaving a deficit OF
about G55 100000.
The chancellor proposed to suspend
the sinking fund and borrow G60000,-
00O He asked for permission to extend
the present borrowing powers to bor-I
rowing on consols. The loan will be inI
cOnsols.
The budget adds pence to the in
come tax, making it 1 shilling 2 pence.
1t does not provide an increase in the!
duties on beer, wine, tea, spirits or to-
bacco. A duty Of 4 shillings 2 pence
per hundred weight will be imposed onI
refined sugar. A duty of shillings,
per hundred weight is imposed on glu-'
cose. A shilling per ton duty is inn
posed on exported coal.
The chancellor concluded as follows:i
''My final balance sheet will bring
from taxation a revenue Of s122, 200, :,
900; from new taxation e21,05o,oo0, a.
total Of 9143,255, 900. propose to re-

POSTOFFICE A SUCCESS
THERE WILL BE ONE AT FAIR
GROUNDS EVERY YEAR.

That there will be a postoffice at the
state fair grounds every year is now
assured. Pos tmaster McGill said yester-
day in speaking Of the matter, that he
was confident that the office had accom-
plished its purpose this year and was
great benefit to fair visitors
While the receipts were not of such
proportions as to make the office a great
financial success the amount of business
done shows that the public in general
and the people connected with the fair
in particular appreciated the effort OF
the department to give them good postai
service during fair week.
The records of the office show that
AIS people called at the building during
the week on business. There were re-
celved at the Office 1924 pieces Of first
class matter and 76 pieces of other man
matter.
The mail sent away from the office In
cluded 2,27S letters and 1O1 pieces of other
mail. The money from the sales OF
stamps, envelopes and postal cards
amounted to $4456, and twenty-seven
money orders were issued aggregatins
SS75.65 Besides the above there were
fifteen registered letters mailed at the
office and fifty-one special delivery letters
We're handled.
The postmaster is greatly pleased over
the success of the Office and says that
a great deal more business was done ana
more people accommodated than he had
anticipated. There is no doubt at all but
what next year the business of the office
will be doubled as people come to know
that the office is there for their benefit
This year it was an Innovation, but It
was so well patronized that the office
will be open hereafter every year.

AID OF COUNTY FAIRS
STATE APPROPRIATION OF $4,000
HAS BEEN APPORTIONED.

The state auditor has completed the
apportionment of the annual legislative
appropriation to encourage and aid in
county and other local fairs throughout
the state. This apportionment Is based
upon the fairs given last year. The total
appropriation is $4,000, and as fifty-three
different fair associations presented
properly authenticated claims for partici-
patton each was awarded the sum Of
$264.15. In Kittson county there are two
fair associations which, as far as could
ever be determined by law or otherwise,
were organized at the same time, and as
neither will give way to the other and
both continue to hold fairs they are
obliged to divide one portion equally be,
tween them. One of these associations
holds it's fairs at st. Vincent and the
other at Hallock.
Beside the county fair associations
there appear on the list of participants
in the fund, the Minnesota State Poultry
association, which holds it's shows at st.
Paul; the Agricultural and Stock Breed
ers' Association of Aitkin, and the Street
Fair Associations of Winona, Princeton.
