gress have been talking among themselves
and corresponding with members Of the
State committee with view to determining

candidate for Odell's present place before
the latter went out, 1t was said to-day that
discussion in connection with this had
brought Mr.. Moreland's name forward
very prominently, and that he stood very
good chance of being the choice Of a ma jor-
ity of the committee.
Mr.. Moreand was one of three men men
toned casually by President Roosevelt
prior to the meeting of the Assembly as
made of the sort Of stuff that good presid-
ing officers are made Of. The others were

man, and getting in conversation with
him, with the daughter as Interpreter,
learned that Braunstein had five children,
two of whom had been graduated from
the public schools, while three we're still
at school.
Commissioner Putzel was at one time
member Of the Board Of Education. Ask
your father he said to the girl, "if he
doesn't think that the city has done well
by him in the eduCat ion of his children"
Indeed it has was the reply the old
man made through his daughter. 1T has

Growing worse Instead OF Dctter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--Recent advices
which have come TO the State Department
do not indicate that the situation as re-
CARDS the ma tional feeling toward foreigners
in China is at all improved. On the con-
trary, conditions appear to be growing
even worse, and officials hero are all the
more convinced Of the wisdom of sending
more troops to the Philippines who may
be thrown into China in the event of trouble.
Two regiments of infantry and two bat
teries of field artillery will leave the United
States for the Philippines on February l.,
This will give this Government IA large
force to use in China in case there ia an out
break against foreigners.
Acting under instructions from the State
Department the various American Consuls
and agents throughout China have made
mail reports to the Department concern
ing the internal conditions in China These
mail reports have arrived in number re-
Gently, and nearly all of them indicate that
the conditions are not growing better.
They come from various parts of China
and admirably reflect the exact status of
conditions there. There has been, how
ever, no recent cable dispatches which
would indicate that trouble is close at
