Yankee Regiment
To Chin Wing Tao.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE state de-
partment has practically decided to
81 ad regiment of troops from Manila
to Chin Wing Tao, a seaport in China,
ABOUT $50 miles from Pekin on the
Gulf Of Pechili. The purpose is to per-
fern an international duty under the
Boxer treaty in keeping open the line
OF communication between PelSin and
the sea.
1t was said at the state department
that the request for troops had not yet
been made of the war department but it
was momentarily expected. The officials
were careful to make it appear that the
dispatch of these troops to China would
be absolutely without any political mean-
ing and the movement was. not to be
construed as intervention.
Under the treaty which terminated the
Boxer troubles the United States with
the other powers, was granted the privi-
lege of maintaining a military force
along the line of railway between Pekin
ard the sea to guard against such an
event as the siege of the legations dur
ing the Boxer uprising.
Beyond the maintenance of a marine
guard of 100 men (only recently and tenn
porarily increased to 2ool. the United
States has never awaited itself of this
permission, and 1t has fallen to the lot
of other nations, principally Great Brit
ain, France and Japan. to maintain small
garrisons along the line of the road from
| Tien Tsin to Pekin 1t is felt that it is
| now incumbent upon the United States
| to perform it's part of this duty, hence
| the decision to employ some troops to
| supplement the marine guard.
| The fact that the force to be dispatched
will be limited TO one regiment is in IT.
self an indication that there is no in
tention by the United States government
to engage in any large military demon
stration in China or to take sides in the
present struggle.
The main consideration that prompted
| the state department to act is said 70
be the fact that the ports of he Gulf OIL
Pechil are closed by ice about this time
of year and 1t will be necessary to land
the troops now il they are to be en-
lployed at all during the winter in China,
The American regiment will probably
be landed at the port of Chin Wing Tao
which is about $50 miles from Pekin and
about 100 miles southeast of Jehol which
place will probably be chosen as a ref
uge by the Chinese imperial family, If
the dynasty is overthrown by the rcvo-
lutionaries
The transport Sherman. which is now
lying in Manila harbor. could land i
regiment at Ching Wing Tao within
four days after she received sailing or
ders.

Instead
OF New Legislation.

Boston, Nov 15.-Improved instead
of new legislation was the keynote OF
the annual address Of President w. b,
II. Dowse of the Home Market Club
al the yearly gathering OF the leading
high protection organization of New
England in this city. today. One of
the most important actions of the club
was the adoption of bylaw prohibit
ing the giving of the clubs funds to
political organizations.
Mr. Dowse was reelected president
and two vacancies on the beard of di-
srectors. caused by the death of l.. NJ.
sGousens, of Portland and Col. c. H.
lChild eff Providence, was filled by the
selection of W. X, Dana of Westbrook,
.Ie.. and Charles Sisson of Providence.
IN his address President Dowse
questioned Whether before trying new
legislation, it would not be 4 good idea
to overhaul the present stock and dis
card the useless and injurious.
1T IS not new legislation, that w
need" he declared. but improved Leg
:islafion. The members of this club are
/ the real pregressiyesz because their
poIicies are essential 10 progress and
because they believe in development
md not destruction.
I President Dowse expressed the belief
THAT the ANTITRUST laws should be
amended.
/ Secretary Thomas o. Marvin. who
succeeded the late Col. Albert Clarke,
said that, the clubs attitude in oppo-
ssition. to reciprocity had been vindi-
Gated by the action of the majority of
the Republican members Of the two
branches of Congress and by the de-
feat OF the agreement in Canada.
He. claimed that the new direct pri-
anary act Imposed such heavy burdens
upon candidates for contested offices
ias to dsbar many men from running.
] The recent elections, Sec. Marvin
said. furnished crumbs of comfort for
both parties.
! Because of vetoes of President Taft of
the Democratic tariff bills the tariff was
everywhere a leading issue. He gave
tables showing that in the nine textile
cities of Massachusetts the Republican
vote showed a gain of II per cent. over
the vote of 1910 and the Democratic vote
a loss of per cent. In eight shoe cities
and towns the Republicans, he said,
gained Il per cent. and the Democrats
lost s per cent.
Sec Marvin declared that the lesson
of the election was that the tide OF dis
content was receding and that greater
energy should he put into the campaign
of education.
DUST before adjournment the club went
on record against the free importation OF
wood pulp and print paper from Canada
Iand the possibility of the extension OF
this policy 10 other pulp and paper eX-
porting countries. The resolution which
was adopted unanimously was as fol-
. lows:
Whereas. wood pulp and print paper
| have been placed on the free list so far
as Canada is concerned notwithstanding
that the expected concessions on the part
of Canada have been denied US, and
whereas, demands are now being made
under the favored nation clause by all
paper exporting countries for the same
tariff privileges which have been extend
ed to Canada,
BE it resolved, that we protest against
this unjust treatment of American paper
manufacturers and respectfully petition
, Congress to repeal this legislation
