RUSHING PREPARATIONS

sides making preparations in the
Philippines to dispatch an army to
China to protect American interests,
the Secretary of War, in accordance
with instruction Of the president, has
given orders for troops in the United
states to be ready at moments no
lice for service in the far east. The
PRESIDENT is hoping that these pre-
Iiutionary steps will have the effect
Of causing the empress dowager to
adopt repressive measures imme-
diately and thus avert an outbreak.
The president has found that while
the Chinese government ostensibly
promised to suppress the boycott, it
actually had taken no steps in that
direction. The foreign office at Pekin
insists that it simply agreed to stop
the disorders which result from the
boycott, and that it is not possible to
order Chinese subjects to buy of one
merchant instead of another.

SHARP DEBATE OVER
LA FOLIETTE'S BILL

Washington, ID. c., March 1.-The
senate began its session today by
agreeing to the conference report on
the joint resolution extending the time
of tribal government for the civilized
Indian tribes in the Indian Territory
The settlement of the affairs of the
five civilized tribes was then laid be-
fore the senate, La Follette's amend
ment prohibiting the sale of coal
lands in the Indian Territory to rail-
road companies, pending the question.
La Toilette continued his speech in
support of the proposition. He said
that senators had said to him that his
amendment went too far, but In meet
ing that contention, he would say that
legislation to be effective, must be
positive. To attempt to do less than
Is proposed by his amendment, is
to give husks instead of kernels to
the people who are crying for relief.
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, said
in reply to La Toilette, that the In
dian committee had hesitated TO ac-
cept the amendment because 1t dealt
with the regulation of the roads,
which is provided for in another bill
before the senate. Senator Stone, of
Missouri, announced his concurrence
in the views of Clapp, but expressed
the opinion that there should not only
be no present sale of coal lands, but
that further leases also should be
prohibited.
Teller, of Colorado, doubted tne
right of congress to say that railroad
stocknolders shall not become owners
of coal lands. He believed in restrict
ing, but would proceed in an orderly
way, and not in a way that would ere
ate greater evils than it would elinS-
nate.
Messrs. Mallroy Patterson and
Newlands also found legal difficulties
in accepting the prohibition upon the
holders of stock in railroad COM
panies, although protesting sympathy
with the purpose of the resolution.

STEEL CARE BECOMING
STANDARD OF EQUIPMENT.

Pittsburg, Pa, March I'm the
report of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany for the year 1905, President Hof-
stot says that of the cars ordered by
the railroads in the United States in
1905 almost fifty per cent were all
steel or steel under frame construc-
tion, and that this class of rolling
stock is rapidly becoming the stan
dard for railroad equipment. Less
than ten years ago the company built
the first all-steel car used in the reg
ular freight traffic; while at the end
of 1905 there were approximately 500,-
600 all steel and steel underframe
cars in use. The all steel passenger
car, having the general Endorsement
of both steam and electric lines,
should make its way rapidly into the
public favor. Works for the construc-
ton of passenger cars separate from
the freight car shops are now almost
completed, and soon will be in actual
operation. as a number of orders have
already been booked for all steel
steam and electric cars.
The report says that the operation
of the forge plants at Allegheny has
been satisfactory, and the difficulties
heretofore experienced in procuring a
proper supply of forgings have been
eliminated. The building of forge
plant at McKees Rocks has been or
dered, and this, when finished, will
relieve the forge situation and opera
tions in Joliet, H., but to remove al
the machinery that could be proftably
employed at Allegheny and McKee''
Rocks, to be used in connection witt
the additions to, increase the output
of these plants. With these addition,
and improvements the McKee's Rocl
plant will have it's daily output In
creased to fifty cars.

William Hancock, for the past thirty

rived here on the liner Hong Kong,

The principal cause of the present
unsettled condition, is the dissatis-
faction in southern China over the
indemnity paid foreign countries, re-
sulting from the Boxer outrages,
which occurred in northern China,
and the outrageous treatment accord
ed a wealthy King family of China,
by the customs officer in Boston,

family were treated as ordinary
coolies, and the head of the family
