WOMEN, that is some women, want to be placed on an equality politically, with men; that is, granted the right of suffrage the right to vote. Would that satiate their thirst and appease their ambition, politically? As matters now stand, their field for usefulnessis unbounded. If they think that suffrage would act as a balm on the tempest-politically, they certainly should have it, and THE TRIBUNE will not object.

A KANSAS pastor puts the follow ing in his local paper: "Want- ed! 25 men in Leoti to enlist in the service of the Lord Jesus. No former experience required. Steady employment seven days in the week, with double pay on Sunday. Wages always in pro- portion to work done, and in- creased gradually according to proficiency-paid each hour of the day in the standard coin of the Realm, which if deposited in the Lords treasury, draws 100 per cent interest. The Lord Jesus Christ is both president and cashier.

It is desired that they begin work at once. Apply at the Superior's office before 9 o'clock p. m., and the Holy Spirit will enter your names upon the pay roll. The only qualification needed is sincere desire and an honest purpose. Only one rule will be required of the workman to ooserve-that is obedience. The employment agent is here today"

Increase of United States Asiatic
 Squadron the Cause.
 PEKING, April 6.-The report re- ceived here that the action of the Unit ed States in increasing her ASiatic squadron Is on account of "the alarm ing reports on the situation in China" e1cites surprise in Peking. Such re- ports were not sent by the United States or British legations, which pos sess good facilities for judging the sit uation in China.
 The only disturbances considered se- rious are those in the Kwangsi prov lnce, the southern province of China, bordering Tonkin, where 100000 rebels are said to be under arms, which were never directed against foreigners. The latest reports regarding General Tung Fun Slang, the Boxer leader, and Prince Tuan, the exiled antiforeigner, who are at the head of the insurgent forces in the northwestern province of Kansu, are reassuring. The govern ment claims to have come to an under standing with them whereby they agree to refrain from hostilities. It is believed that the government is sup plying them with funds on condition that they remain quiet.
 The officials promise the foreign min isters that the indemnity bonds will soon be signed The officials have ap- parently concluded that it will be im- possible to obtain any concession in the terms of the indemnity until that for mality is fulfilled.
 The dowager empress and the court have started on their journey to the western tombs They will be absent from Picking eighteen days.

 Reasons For Increase Given Ont at

 WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Unit ed States naval representation in the orient will be increased materially as soon as the vessels nRD under orders to proceed to those waters arrive there.
 The navy department in making this Increase contemplates squadrons in Asiatic and Philippine waters under three general heads-viz, vessels of the line of battle, made of the battleshlps Kentucky, Oregon and Wisconsin and the monitors Monterey and Monad- nook, all of which are now there ex- cept the Wisconsin, which sails from Puget sound about May 1; second, the cruiser squadron made up of the New Orleans, which is already on the Asi- atic station, and the Raleigh, now in the Caribbean sea, and the Albany and the Cincinnati, and the third squad ron, made up of gunboats and small craft designed especially for service in the smaller bodies of water where the larger ships because of their draft are unable to go.

 It is said here that the change in the character of the Asiatic squadron is due primarily to what naval experts consider the proper division of our navy and was decided on some time ago. It also is felt to be good precau- tfonary measure to have a strong rep resentation in the far east ready for service should the occasion unexpected ly arise.

REST DAY IN DAKOTA.
President by Mistake Attends Church
 Twice.

 Twice.
 SIOUX FALLS, 5. D., April G. President Roosevelt was the guest of Sioux Falls over Sunday. His special train arrived here about o'clock a. m. and left this morning shortly after 9 o'clock
 On his arrival here he was met by g delegation headed by Mayor G. ". Burnside and State Senator A. H. Sites. Senator Kittridge also greet ed him. The president was escorted to the Cataract House by detachments of the two local militia companies and enjoyed day of comparative rest, the first he has had since his trip began.
 He attended church both in the morn ing and evening and in the afternoon went for a horseback ride, accompa- nied by Seth Bullock, superintendent of the Black hills forest reserves.
 The fact that President Roosevelt at tended divine services twice yesterday was due to an error on the part of the local committee. The committee had the impression that the president was member of the German Lutheran church and accordingly arranged to have him attend that church in the morning. When it was learned later that the president worshiped at the Dutch Reformed church, arrangements were made to have services in the evening at the Livingstone Reformed church here. While it is not the GUS tom of the president to attend services on Sunday evening, he made an excep- ton when the facts were made known to him. The services in the morning were conducted by Rev. Herman Seit, president of the German English col lege at Wilton, Ia, who came here for that purpose. The German language was used throughout.
 Owing to the fact that both in Mill, waukee and Minneapolis the length of the programme did not permit the pres ident to reach his car until after mid night, he has been obliged to announce that hereafter he will not begin speak ing later than S:30 in the evening and always will be back in his car by 10 o'clock. He will adhere strictly to this rule.
 A PAChpoChcL tIicu CO WoIh HIS SdHc in the crowd gathered in front of the Lutheran church yesterday morning. Just as the president was about to en- ter the edifice a man who gave the name of c. w. Earl took $23 from the pocket of resident of this city. He was detected in the act, but before he could be seized he handed the money to a confederate, who disappeared Earl was arrested.
