Pekin, January 3.-The slgnatories OF
the Chlntse peace protocol, except the
American, have consulted their respective
governments and practically decided to
incidentally notify China that her failure
to fulfill the obligations provided for by
the protocol will entail grave consequences.
A strong sentiment exists in favor OF a
compromise, if China will admit that the
loTfotocol demands the payment OF the ln-
demnity on gold basis and contne her
arguments to the hardships resulting from
the increase Of the debt by nearly twenty
per cent, since the signing of the protocol,
through the depreciation in the value OF
silver and the probable further increase
from the expected adoption of the gold
standard in the PHILIPPINES and in tie
straits settlement. But the powers refuse
to waive the plain Interpretation of the
protocol.
The danger exists that if China MAIN
tains her position some of the powers may
demand territory or concessions for COM
pensation.
CoNFIRMATCRY ADvICES RECEIVED.
Washington, January 3.-The State De-
partment has received confrmatOry ad-
vices from Pekin Of the declinatiou of the
powers to receive their second indemnity
installment on the silver basis 1t is un-
derstood that The declination was accom-
panied by threat, but the action itself is
nperded as sinister, if, as it has been sug-
gested, 1t is not taken with view to max
ing a record of the position of the powers
in this matter.
The situation is regarded here as war
ranting some concern, though, unless the
washington government Is to utterly dis
credit every statement Of the powers in
the past two years whenever the possibn'
lty of division of China came up, 1t can
not believe there is any intention to pro-
ceed to extremes. 1t is again suggested
that the time is ripe for a reference of this
important issue to The Hague Tribunal, a
consumation devoutly wished for by
China, and acourse which has commended
itself to the Washington government,
ATTITUDE OF UNITED STATES.
The United States, which is interested
equally with the other powers in getting
as much money as it can in the shape of
indemnity, still feels bound by moral law
to support the Chinese contention for the
silver basis, looking not only upon the
language of the protocol and the Pekin
treaty itself, but also having a solic'tous
regard for China's integrity and perpet-
uity as a nation. The other powers are
united in demanding a settlemen, OF the
gold basis. This is an issue which in the
minds of the officials here is eminently
adapted to the method Of arbitration. So
far China alone has suggested a reference
to The Hague Tribunal, but it is possible
and even probable that if the powers are
going to extremes the United States gov
eminent will again feel bound to discharge
its duty under article 27 Of The Hague
Tribunal and point the way to arbitration

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Washington Post" says: at is
as difficult to harmonlze the Democratic
party as it is to get women to agree con-
cerning breakfast food" There is no diff
Guilty, however, in getting the Democratic
party to agree what kind Of food it wants.
1t always Graves pie.
Our three Richmond contemporaries,
the "News," The "Times, "and the "Dis.
patch" are having three cornered, "es-
teemed " sneering controversy about the
attitude they occupy, respectively, to the
Democratic party. From the develop.
ments made so far by this controversy,
we are justified in believing that the
"News" is free lance and political
outlaw" the Times" is anxious to ap-
pear as an independent, but is given to
"peanut journalism" that it "holds with
the hare and runs with the hounds, land
that it is amenable to other influences
than the good of the Democratic party"
and probably controlled by influences
''promotive of fselfinterest;" and that the
"Dispatch" Is a political weather-vane
anxious TO be the organ of the Virginia
Democracy, unwilling to state what its
position will be in 1904, but insists on
waiting to see which way the straws will
blow.
1t is a little amusing to see a paper like
the Richmond Dispatch, which claims to
ne SO orthodox in its Democracy, declar-
ing that the free-silver issue is dead and
that Bryan is 10 longer a possible or ac-
ceptable candidate for the National
Democracy. 1t is little strange also to
see this paper denouncing David B. Hills
coal mine ownership plank in the New
York Democratic platform as "a piece
Democratic buncombe." 1t will be
awful funny if the Dispatch in 1904
will have to accept one or both OF
these issues or lose its re cord for ortho-
doxy, of which it is so proud. The "Tlmes"
INQUIRIES of the "Dispatch" if it will sup
port the Democratic Presidential caudi'
date in 1904, if either of these issues is in
the party platform. The Dispatch gives
an evasive answer, by claiming that such
a thing is not possible. We who live will
see.
The Richmond Times is eager to prove
that it is an outlaw or independent IN
politics, but the Dispatch is irving to
prove it hypocrte. The Dispatch is
eaoually eager to assert its consistency as
an organ of Democracy, but the Times en-
deayors to show that the Dispatch is a
weather cock. How beautifully do our
Democratic brethren dwell together IN
unity.
The Richmond "News" says the Wash
npton Post ANNOUNCES in a prominent
Mace that the Democratic members OF
Conoress have about agreed on a policy Of
waking un." The News is much delighted
at the announcement and says; line
very suggestion brings hope. Democrats
all over the country who believe In their
marty and love their country are eager 10
ool that they represent living issues and
nrrposes.u 1t is strange that our Tree
Iaucep contemporary, with Democratic
oroclivities. can be SO easily deluded INTO
such an absurd hope. If there is waking
49, of tho Democratic members Of Congress
if has been from the free-silver hslucina
tion to sink again into the hor'id nign'
mare Of free trade. So much for 'heii
Giving issues and purposes"

.LET NO GUILTY NAN escape

President Roosevelt is acting in tho
postal scandal just - the country had .
right to expect that he would act. He
10 determined that rigid investigation
into ill the reports Of vrone doing shall
be made, and the guilty persons be
promptly punished. The postal author
tiles have been urged topush the inquiry
With the greatest possible speed What
ever crookedness has existed or which
now exists will Be quickly exposed, and
The offenders will be dealt with rieor-
ously. Let tho country rest easy ON
those points.
Moreover, the president il in thorough
harmony with tho heads OF tho postal
department in this matter OF bringing
tho guilty persons to justice. Postmas-
ter General Payne is working in unity
With the president in this affair. The
stories that the postmaster general was
Indifferent in the matter OF pushing the
inquiry into the frauds, were got mp by
tho democrats, and were circulated by
the democratic newspapers. Their OBJ
ject 10 to discredit the administration il
possible, for partisan reasons. They
imagine that this will win votes for the
democratic party next year.
But the democrats will soon learn that
no party capital can be made out Of the
postal irregularities. The president is .
good deal moro anxious than the heads
OF the democratic newspapers are to have
the investigation rigidly pursued and
the o6enders punished. He has moro
interest in the matter than they have.
He will manage the affair with moro in
telligence and courage than any Of the
democratic editions would display in Q
like situation. Whatever wrong WAS
done will be exposed, and the guilty
persons viii be promptly and effectively
dealt With. The job will be done 90 we'll
by the administration that none OF the
democratic papers will dare Say q word
about it in the campaign next year, for
everything that could be said would be
tribute to the president and the post
master general and would help to bring
votes to the republican party.-St. Louis

number of years ago. Carroll Hart

him his fee Of 500.
"But have not delivered the lecture
yet. Suppose I should die before to-

derstand why a manager should pay
for something not yet delivered.
"Oh, that's all right I'd exhibit

any rate, he refused to lecture In Grand

Six FOU1es 0R Science.

The six follies Of science are: ~ The
squaring Of the circle. O. perpetual
motion, g. the philosophers stone. a.
the elixir Of life. @ magic and g. as
tr0logy.
In all ages men of undoubted ability
have toiled early and late to unravel
the mysteries supposed to be connected
with these fascinating problems. 1t IS
not always remembered that such in
tellectual giants as Bacon, Sir Robert
Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought
the philosophers stone, which. strange
to say. receives some countenance
from the modern theory of allOtr0py.
In the study of astrology Lilly was for
q time even pensiOned by parliament.
Most of these ''fOllies' conferred in
direct benefits upon science. for in
seeking one thing their dev0tees dis
covered many another. The craze for
the secret, or unknown, has still its
hold upon men and Is seen In palmistry
and kindred cults.-L0nd0n Standard.
