tive demonstration of the years history has been that of the inability or the powers to unite for any posltlve object t'robably the concert in China would have broken down entirely but for the Anglo- German agreement, which only prevented fatal dissensions among the powers by pledging them all against any real CO., ercion Or effective discipline oI the Chi nese government. The only real gain in China has been made by Russia, acting on her own responsibility hi Manchucia, outside of the concert and independent of the other powers, ana the value or this gain even to Russia Is highly uncertain
 It is too much to say tor American di- plomacy that 1t anticipated all this fu- tility ofSoutcome when it separated the United States from The policy of extreme aggression and severe coercion under taken under the leadership of Germany
 It Is certain however, that the intimate commercial relations of the Anglo-Saxon nations to China enable them to .lnder- sta.-d far better than the Continental powers what is possible ard what is net if these powers and Japan, who under stand her best, could have chief control and supervision of her relations with the outside world. All these powers came out of the occupation better qualified to win the confidence and influence the poll icy of China than any of the other parties to it. This Is, a"ove all, true of the United States. Our gain from the wise self-restraint of our Chinese policy does not end this vindlcation by the practical failure of the severe policy we discour- aPed. It should bear most valuable fruit in all our future Ielations with China.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE
Al Fields Great Minstreis Played Yesterday to Two Remarkably
 Large Audiences.

Only once before in the history of the Montgomery Theatre has therc been as tremendous a matinee audience as the one that packed the house from pit to dome at Al Fields matinee yesterday af- ternoon.
 Some years ago. when Lewis Morrison first brought Faust to Montgomery. the house at the matinee performance was the largest matinee house ever in the Theatre Yesterday afternoon the throng. while possibly not quite as large as the Morrision matinee, approached 1t draw nice distinctions would be almost a case of straining at a camel. Just as at the record d-breaking 'Burgomaster' sale Wednesday night, standing room was again sold at the Fields matinee yester- day.
 Last night the house was larger than the matinee. Standing room was sold, and In every doorway and every aisle, men pushed each other for the privilege of | seeing Al Fields great minstrel show. Three such record-breaking houses at three successive performances Is not only unusual. but remarkable. and proves that the people of Montgomery will patronize good attractions.

Our Policy in China vindicated.

MlnneapOllS 1rlDun6.
 The evacuation of China by foreign troops is practically complete Only lega- ton guards remain, and the chinese are in practical possession of the government and capital. This marks the end of the most dramatic phase in the long and dis turbed history of the relations of China to the Western powers. It is time 10 sum up the results of the years occupa- tion of the Chinese capital by foreign troops, and the years negotiations ot Western diplomats with the Chinese gov ernment to secure indemnity for the past and security for the future.
 These results are surprisingly meager, and the outcome justifies the early with drawal of the United States from the ,'x- treme policy of coercing and binding China through a concert of all the pow CTS. Mutual jealousies and lack of com mon interests enfeebled the concert of the powers from the first and clearly predicted the rather futile result. The powers have gained nothing from China except the pledge of an indemnity of something over $300.000 ,000 payment of which Is to be extended over nearly forty years. Stolid. passive resistance of the Chinese finally compelled practical sur render of the demand for further pun ishment of persons responsible for the outrages of last year The administra- tive safeguards against future outbreak will be enforced by Chinese officials. One can imagine how effective they will be should a new Prince Yuan arrive. to power. Relations with the Chinese gov ernment are made a little more direct through modification of which answers in China to the Foreign Office. but of real Western control over the govern ment in China nothing more reassuring has been gained.
 The only practical security for the fu- ture is the mortgage of revenue made to secure payment of the indemnity. If this were repudsated by China. however. 1t could only be enforced by a new joint occupancy of foreign troops. After the experience of the last it is difficult to see how this could be undertaken from mere pecuniary motive. The most posi-

Its grandeur cannot be heightened by any device of electric illumination. The question is not one of expense. but one of good taste. and good taste and economy appear to be ranged on the same side in this instance.

the Episcopal church in Minnesota, a
prominent character of the North
west, and pioneer in religious work,
has passed away. During his minis
try OF more than 40 years he saw
this state develop from a sparsely
settled territory to one OF the great
states OF the Union. Many are the
hardships that he had to suffer in his
ministerial labor among the pioneers
in the early days. He was a good
friend OF the Indians, had their un-
bounded confidence, and understood
Indian character better than most
men. The government often consult
ed him in it's dealings with the Red
Men. The good Bishop has now, full
of years and honors, gone to his eter-
nal rest.

ONE Of the most interesting, at
tractive and Instructive exhibits at
the State fair was that of the State
fish commission. This department.,
which was totally inactive, except
for the drawing Of salaries, during
the Democratic intermission Of 1898
1000, has become one of the most
important and valuable branches Of
the State government, and is stock
ing the lakes and rivers with food
fish that will be,invaluable to coming
generations. Incidentally it is also
enforcing the laws for the protection
and propagation of game and fish
with out resort to manslaughter. 1t

pie, and not to the professionalsports-

and noble man. Tits seldom that
the world produces such we'll.
rounded character. His brilliant
mind, his calm Judgment, and his
kindness OF heart were alike promi-
nent. 1t was during his last illness
that he touched the heart OF the ma
ton by his remarkable display Of
Christian patience, humility, quiet
courage, forgiveness, and tender de-
votioD. With the words:"G Gods will,
not ours, be done," and with the.
words OF that beautiful song, "Near-
er, My God, to Thee,' quivering on
his lips, his soul took flight and was
carried to the realms OF Eternal
light, to take his place by the side of
Lincoln.and Garfield, the other mar
tyr presidents.
To-day, the twentieth anniversary
OF the death of Garfield, we consign
the body OF William Mckinley to the
grave, and his name to history, ''He
is not dead, he still speaketh." His.
deeds live after him. His practical
achievements are enduring, and will

OUR nation has been plunged into
fathomless depths of woe. William
Mckinley, the we'll beloved chief ex-
ecutive of this free and great Repub-
lie, is no more among the living.
The bulletins from the sick bed had
buoyed the country with much hope
of his ultimate recovery, but alas,
the work of the anarchist assassin
had been too we'll done, and William
Mckinley, the most lovable and
charitable Of all men, becomes the
victim ola culprit's foul deed. Words
are indeed frail vehicles of thought in
which toconyey the feelings of sorrow
and anguish that now permeate the
heart OF every true and loyal Ameri-
can. And the whole civilized world
joins with the American people in un-
iversal sorrow and sympathy. HUI
manity is made poorer when a great
and good man is taken away. 1t
was during the administration OF
President Mckinley that the United
States took it's rightful place as q
great world power among the nations
of the earth, and the world may we'll
mourn the loss Of his sagacity and
craftsmanship, exercised, not only
for the good OF this country, but for
the advancement and civilization OF
mankind.

Memorial Exercises at Warren.

The memorial exercises in honor of
William Mckinley were held at the
Opera house at 2 O'Clock this after
noon. The interior had been suit
ably draped for the occasion, with
black bunting, streamers and flags.
On a dark background on the stage
hung the pictures of our three mar
tyr presidents; and McKinley's last
words: cts Gods way. His will be
done, not ours" were inscribed in
white letters. The room was filed
by people with saddened and tear
stained faces. Mayor Taralseth pre-
sided. After an organ prelude, the
song: "Lead, Kindly Light" was
rendered by the choir. Rev. Mckee
led in prayer. Senator Grindeland
was introduced and delivered a
touching, impressive and eloquent
tribute to the memory of the fallen
president, dealing principally with
his career as a statesman and poll
tician. The senator was visibly af-
fected himself as he spoke, and tears
flowed freely among the audience.
Lack OF time this week prevents
review OF his address,. After the SEN
ator's speech, McKinley's. favorite
song, 'Nearer. My God, to Thee,''
was rendered by the choir. Next
Rev. Fail, as a son OF Ohio, spoke
touchingly OF the love the people OF
that state bore for the departed
statesman and how they deli GIFTED to
honor HIM. He dwelt also on other
characteristics of this truly great
man, as his thoroughness, persever-
ance, modesty self control, ability to
rise above his environment, and ten
der devotion to his wife. The pro-
gramme closed with the singing of
America. Rev. Mckee pronounced
