made public the report of Mr. Bristow,
who went to Havana to investigate the

allowed und suspended in the accounts of

$9,000 la oil account of double payment of

made amount to $11,692, while $79,934 has

bathtubs, $113.1/1; plumbing, material, la
bor. etc., $136.91. There were many other
similar Items, all going to show that Mr.

to live in style, since Uncle 6am could be
made to foot the bill.
A> KXTH\ SESSION* PROBABLE.
The President wifi not cell Congress to
gether in extra session to consider the
questions growing out of the uprising in
China unless it becomes absolutely neces
sary for him to do bo. He does not want
Congress and a presidential campaign on
his hands fit the same time. The situa
tion in China, however, is becoming very
serious. All the indications are that it
Is going to take many thousands of
troops to restore order there. If the re
sistance to an advance on Pekin should
be as great as the resistance shown at
Tien Tstn an army of 100,000 would be
needed to open a way to the Chinese cap
ital.
The United States are expected to fur
nish their share of troops. They have a
very small number nt Tien Tain at pres
ent. Where are they to get more? It is
said that the war department might suc
ceed In getting together nbout 6,000 addi
tional troops for China by taking a few
from each of the following places, name
ly, Cuba. Porto Rico, the Philippines and
a number of companies from the army
posts in the West. There is. of course, a
largo number of troops in the Philippines
-somewhere near t/),(WO—but Gen. MacAr
thur says that he cannot spare any of
them. Indeed, only recently he called for
additional troops. The insurgents are
active and aggressive, and he is finding it
difficult to hold them in check with the
force which he has at his command.
There Is no doubt that the Filipino lead
ers are well informed as to what is taking
place in Chinn, and they would be quick
to take advantage of the weakening of
our for. es in the Philippines. No doubt
they are watching to see how many of
our Philippine troops are sent to China.
The* war in the Philippines is not over yet
by any means, though Gen. Otis said it
was when he left the islands. Gen. Mac-
Arthur has been doing a great deal of
fighting ever since he has been In su
preme command.
The fact must not be overlooked that he
has to cover a very large territory with n
sma’.i army. With a larger force he would
be able to pursue the guerilla bands of
insurgents. Now he cannot do more than
hold the widely scattered posts nt which
his troops are stationed. If he were to
abandon any one of these posts the im
pression would get abroad among the
Filipinos that the United States had to
come to the conclusion they could not
hold the islands. An impression of that
sort would lead to the undoing of much
of that which has been done.
It would b© a mistake to withdraw sol
diers from the Philippines for service in
China. If many more troops are frequired
for service in China, volunteers will have
to be called for, and Cotigress will have
to be called together for the purpose uS
giving authority to enlarge the army and
to provide the means for conducting mili
tary operations in China. It will be known
probably within a very few' days whether
or not there will be an extra session of
Congress. The President and his cabinet
are waiting patiently and anxiously for
news from China, hoping that the dis
patches will show that the situation is
improving, and that there is a prospect
that the Chinese government will soon be
able to compel respect for its authority.
BOER IMMIGRANT*.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stat
ed that it was probable that at the close
of the South African war a large number
of Boers—between 10,000 and 12,000 —would
come to this country. A good many
invitations have been sent to them
from people and societies to make their fu
ture. homes here.
It is probable that if the British are
successful a few of the Boers will leave
South Africa, but the great majority of
them will not. There is no particular
reason why they should. They will have
practically as much personal liberty as
they ever had—that is, they will have con
trol of their local affairs and will not have
to pay any more taxes. They will not
be as well satisfied as when they were in
dependent, but they will not be the vic
tims of oppression.
It id certain that those who remain In
South Africa will be far happier than
those who go elsewhere. They are accus
tomed to the conditions which prevail
there end they know just what to do in
order to make a living. In this country
everything would be strange to them. Ji
would take them a generation to get ac
customed to the change. Jt might be a
good thing for their children to come to
this country, but It would be better for
them to remain where they are.
The very general understanding is that
they are not a hard-working people. They
have never studied how to get the best re
turns from the soil. They give about all
of their attention to cattle raising. To
get along in this country they would have
to work etcadiiy and would have a great
deal to learn in order to become success
ful farmers. And not knowing the lan
guage they would not find their surround
ings very congenial.
It is doubtful if man}' of them will come
here and it is a question whether they
would act wisely in coming. If any of
them were to come, however, they would
receive a cordial welcome.
It is probable that the climate of the
Southern states would suit them better
than that of any other section of the
country. Besides, in,the South land can
be obtained at less price per acre than in
the East or the West. It will be time
enough to and lac use the question of loca
tion, however, when there are some as
surances that a very” considerable number
of them have decided to make their homes
in the United States.
Some of the Chinese residents of San
Francisco are talking about suing the
cit.v for $2,000,000 damages, alleged to have
been sustained by them by reason of the
loss of business and other hurt caused
I by the recent quarantine of the Chinese
quarter during the plague scare. Per*
haps the San Francisco Chinese have been
instructed to enter this suit, in order that
there may he something of fin ofTset to
the cults for indemnity that will in all
probability be brought by this government
m consequence of the Boxer troubles in
China.
Gen. Miles is understood to be in favor
of the immediate withdrawal of a strong
force of soldiers from the Philippines and
throwing it into China. The fact that
Milw favors this plan is about equivalent
to an assurance that it will not be adopt
| od. The department has practically lim
ited the usefulness of the tanking genetal
to the devising of fashions in uniform* for

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. JUDY 18. WOO.
\ <X>?SFFBENTE OF THE POWERS
M GGE*TED.
| Thus far the Powers have worked to
gether harmoniously in their operations
In Chino. But the time is close- at hand
when it will require the highest diplomacy
and the exercise of good judgment and
great patience to enable them to get along
together. Our government has suggested
the necessity for a conference of the
Powers. It is evident that if the movement
on Pekin is to be effective there must be
1 concert of action Everything must move
like clock-work.
It is important that the allied forces
shall have but one commander. Which
Power shall furnish the command
ing general? That is a question
that will not be easily settled.
And in the appointment of other
officers jealousies are likely to crop out.
How many troops is each of the Powers
to furnish? That is another question about
which there is certain to be a difference
of opinion. The thought is thrown out that
as the United States have no "sphere of
influence” in China they ought not to be
expected to furnish as many as those
countries which hove large interests at
stake. This thought is thrown out by our
own government, however, and is not likely
to meet with the approval of other Pow
ers. It will he said that the open-door
policy has been agreed to, and that there
fore the commercial interests of the Uni
ted States in China are now, or soon
will be, as great as those of any other
nation.
After the disturbances .are settled there
will he questions to-be settled that are
likely to cause trouble. Suppose the
Powers undertake to set up a government
in China and sustain it? How long would
it be before they would be quarreling
among themselves? It will be recalled that
the United States, Germany and Great
Britain cVtuld not get along harmoniously
in their effort to jointly sustain a govern
ment in the Samoan Islands. What pros
pect would there be. of all of the Powers
agreeing as to what It would be best
to do in the government of China? Hon.
James Bryce, in an article in the New York
Evening Tost of last Saturday, reviewing
the situation in China, in speaking of the
difficulty of several Powers exercising
Joint control over some other government,
said: "There is nothing in politics so diffi
cult, nothing so prolific of misunderstand
ings and suspicions which may ultimately
lead to war, as the attempt of several
mutually jealous Powers to exercise a
joint control over some other government
or territory. And it is chiefly for this rea
son that those in Europe who look beyond
the Immediate business of rescue and pro
tection into the problems which the fu
ture must bring upon us, and bring be
fore long, deem those problems to be
among the hardest which statesmen in our
days have been called upon to solve."
The best fighters are those have an
Incentive for fighting. The suggestion
comes from Macon that the time is now
ripe for the colored washerwoman of the
South to settle scores with the Chinese,
who Rave invaded their sphere of en.
deavor and largely superseded them in a
business which had been peculiarly their
own from a time whence the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary. In
Macon a day or two ago, according to the
News, a big, fat, ebon-hued washerwoman
with a bundle of clothes on her head, was
heard to say that if the United States
government would take women as sol
diers, she would volunteer and go to
fight the Chinese, and that she knew of
a number of others who would do the
same thing. “We kin git up six oump
nies in Macon," she said, “an* I know I
kin whip a whole pasßle o' dem China
mens; dat’s jist whalTT kin.” The proba
bilities ore that the sentiments of the Ma
con washerwoman would' find an echo In
the hearts of Aunt Dinah, Maum Phoebe
and Sis Chloe in every city of the South,
where the Chinaman has unrolled hr*
pigtail and squirted water from his mouth
upon the shirts of the leading citizens.
We should hate to see Dinah, Phoebe and
Chloe march off to the war to do up the
Chinamen suffer than the latter ever did
up a collar, while there are eo many
young bucks eunnlng themselves on f'nc
comers who could be better spared; nev
ertheless we are bound to admit that the
washerwomen have a grievance against
the yellow men who wear their shirts out
side, and we believe that if the black
women could get the Boxers across their
knees they would be equal to wielding the
soap paddle so effectively that the insur
rection would soon be quelled.
The cables stopped working on the Chi
nese war npwg the other night, to fla*h
across the ocean the important informu
tion that the Prince of Wales had anew
coat. Not new in the point of age, for
the Prince never wears an old one, but
new in the matter of cut. In other words,
his Royal Highness, whose chief useful
ness consists in laying cornerstones and
setting the fashion In men's attire, had
given sanction to anew style—a single
breasted frock. It goes without saying,
now, that the eingle-breasted frock will
be quite the thing this season, to the very
great joy of tailors and the corresponding
dismay of many of the fellows who will
have to provide themselves with new
coats. The new style coat, it is said, will
prove more comfortable than the old dou
ble-breasted frock, such as our public
men have been obliged to wear for tile
past several seasons. But why did not
the Prince do something realty sensation
al hy appearing In a shirt waist?
Such action on his part would
hove gone n long way towards
emancipating English-speaking mankind
from the tyranny of the fashion which
demand* a coat no matter whether the
mercury elands at 60 or 100 degrees.
"When the volunteer army for the Span
ish war was called into existence it was
found that there was a lamentable lack
of modern arms and ammunition in our
arsenals. Practically all of the volunteer
regiments had to go into the service with
old Springfield tides and black powder
cartridges. At Santiago our smoke-pro
ducing powder was responsible for a con
siderable percentage of the casualties. In
the event of another call for volunteers,
however, a similar disadvantage in the
matter of arms and ammunition would not
confront us. The government's factories
have been kept pretty busy during the
past two years, und there are now on
hand pretty nearly all of the guns and
stores that would lie needed to equip a
new volunteer army. These supplies in
clude not only standard army rifles and
smokeless cartridges, but flelda guris and
ali necessary equipment*
There has been considerable speculation
as to the cause of the Boxer uprising.
There is no longer any occasion for it.
The real cause has been disclosed by Col.
James Hamilton Lewis. In an interview
with the Washington Post, on Monday
last. Col. Lewis said: “I charge the Chi
nese outbreak directly upon the Republi
can adminitration." All who have any
acquaintance with Mr. know that
he would not make a charge of this sort
unless he were certain of his facts. There
fore it may bq considered as settled that
the Republican party is responsible for
the outrages which have been committed,
and which are still being committed, in
China. When the troubles in China have
been settled it is probable that the Euro
pean Power* will turn to the United
States and demand to know what the pur
pose of the McKinley administration was
in bringing about the outbreak in Chin.i.
Mr. McKinley may deny that he is respon
sible for it. but no doubt Col. Lewis will
be on hand with proof sufficient to con
vince England, Russia. Germany and the
rest of the Powers that Mr. McKinley is
not telling the truth. It will be a great
day for Mr. Lewis when the opportunity
presents itself for him to prove to the
world McKinley, Mr. Hanna and
some other worthies of the Republican
party actually caused the Chinese rioters
to murder the members of the legations
and the missionaries in Pekin.
One of the most touching stories that
has yet percolated through from China, is
that the ladies of the British legation had
provided themselves with poison, in antic
ipation of the triumph of the Boxers.
When ali hope had fled, it wes the pur
pose of the heroic women to end their own
lives rather than fail into the hands of
the barbarians.

Cl RUK\T COMMR.XT,
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says; "The
New York World explains that the ex
pression 'There must be no scuttle policy'
(in the- Philippines) which President Mc-
Kinley used In his recent s|>eeeh at Can
ton, 0., is of English origin. I-ord Salis
bury, according to the World, coined the
sentence and employed it in a speech con
demning the abandonment of the Soudan.
Lord Salisbury is at the head of the im
perialist party in Great Britain, and it is,
of course, eminently proper that Mr. Mc-
Kinley. as the leader of American imper
ialists, should go to his friends in England
for a phrase descriptive of his policy,
which is modeled on the English pattern.
There will be great rejoicing in London
if Mr. McKinley is re-elected, for he is
counted upon to pull a large number of
British chestnuts out of the fire through
his policy of 'no scuttle* while England is
occupied elsewhere.’
The Washington Times (Dem.) says:
Although the campaign has hardly open
ed. It has already begun to produce some
Interesting developments. The situation
discloses one fact of Importance, which is
that our fellow-citizens of Teutonic birth
are not to he scared or clubbed this year
with silver. Their leaders declare that the
currency question is too thoroughly set
tled for the next four years to make it a
present issue. On the other hand, they re
gard the carpetbag imperialism of the ad
ministration and its ownership by and sub
serviency to the oppressive trusts as vital
Issues.”
| The Columbia (S. C.) State (Dem.) says:
j "There Is no peace In the Philippines and
there will not be until the Democratic
programme shall be carried out. If Mc-
Kinley should be re-elected the Republi
can Congress at Its next session would
not only keep up the army to Its present
strength, but would probably enlarge it
and give us the burden of supporting 100,-
000 troops for Philippine service alone.
Imperialism has an Insatiable maw and
an infinitesimal conscience.”
The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem ) says:
| “After the Chicago convention of 1696 the
record who had repudiated
the plot form bet.'ame somewhat rrfbnoton
ous In the Republican press. This year it
b*ghiß already to look as If the Demo
cratic press would have to set aside a

—George. W. Wafers, an American, who

the meaning of the word. The South Amer

patriotism—patriotism that will cause the
citizen to subordinate self to the public

is opt to look upon public office as a

punishment, and he usually does."
—England’s new torpedo boat Viper,
which is worked on the turbine prin
ciple. reached a speed of forty-three miles
an hour in a trial trip on Friday, which
is away ahead of anything done by
steam when used in the ordinary way,
says the Philadelphia Press. The inven
tor claims for the turbine system that it
gives double the horsepower of steam in
the same space and saves one-third the
weight, while among its other advan
tages he reckons eleanlinees in the engine
room anV absence of vibration, the latter
tending to prolong the life of the vessel.
If all these claims, in addition to the great
speed, can lie substantiated in larger
vessels, as he says they can, anew
method of propulsion on the water is at
the service of mankind, and is certain to
be largely, if not generally, adopted.
—A document of some interest was en
tered for record at the Franklin (Penn.)
County Court House a few days ago. It
is a deed conveying to Judge Jeremiah S.
Black 240 acres of land near Mercerburg
by President James Buchanan. The con
veyance was made in June, 1868, after Mr.
Buchanan had retired from office, together
with Judge Black, who was in Buchan
an’s Cabinet, first as Attorney General
and -then as Secretary of State. The price
paid for the land by Judge B’ack was
$15,624. A story connected with this trans
fer of realty, says he Chambersburg
(Penn.) Valley Spirit, showed the confi
dence that Judge Black had in Mr. Buch
anan. The President wanted to sell the
land to the Judge, who said he would
fake it without seeing it. President
Buchanan insisted, however, that he go
to Franklin county and see the property.
Judge Black went to Chambersburg and
stayed a few' days with friends, after
which he returned to his home at York,
and made the purchase without having
seen the land.

to a large extent. He says that it is be
lieved to regulate the expenditure of am
munition. to compel each soldier to. fire
coolly with properly adjusted s-ight, and
to enable the commander to direct his fire
at the desired point. The same write*,
however, says that Burnham, the Ameri
can scout, called attention to the fact that
the Boers would “duck” when they saw
the smoke of a volley, and rise to fire
after it had passed over them. The truth
is that volley firing cannot be used to ad
vantage except against men in masses and
at moderate ranges. American tactics-,
however, prefer the use of magazine fire
at short ranges and at the critical moment
of attack or defense. The English employ
ment of the volley is part of the service
of the Queen, and which have received
some pretiiy severe shocks in the course of
the war in South Africa.
—A dispatch from San Francisco says-:
News comes from Corea that while
China is in throes of a great crisis the
hermit kingdom is mainly exercised over
the Royal Cemetery because the soul of
the murdered Queen can’t sleep in peace
in its present quarters. ]>nst year the.
elccetric railroad was opened from Seoul
to the Royal Cemetery, five miles away.
Now Harry R. Bostwick, of San Fran
cisco, who built the electric road, has just
signed a contract to build on imi>orial
highway over whic'h the tombs and mas
sive sepulchres in the cemetery may be*
moved to a point fifteen miles further in
the country. This removal is due to pre
dictions of astrologers thet the young
Queen’s spirit would never rest easily in
the present cemetery. The King paid no
attention to ihese predictions for a whole
year, but now he has been brought to
terms by astrologers and compelled to
obey their will. Instead of removing her
body the King has decreed that the whole
cemetery shall be moved. Bostwick will
build fifteen miles of roadway thirty feet
wide, and a like length of trolley road.
This roadway and railway extension to
gether will cost a round million dollars.
io say nothing of expense of rebuilding
structures which are to be torn down.
—The dispatch printed recently giving
a brief account of the target practice of
the battleship Texas must have puzzled
some of the readers of It. remarks the
New York Times. The story was that
the ship had maintained her reputation
for sheeting by hitting the target ten
ttirus wii h the 6-ihch and 6-pounder guns.
The dimensions of the target were also
given. But the dispatch did not say any
thing as to the number of shots fired.
The hitting of the target in naval gun
practice is practically the srme thing as
scoring a bulls?ye in ordinary target fir
ing. Shots which do not hit the target
would often be of as much practical value
In action as those which hit it. The
scoring is done on a plan which takes
Into account a space on the surface of the
sea around the target equal In extent to
the central part of the hull of a battle
ship. The target Itself represents the
center of the water-line of this hull, or
the bulbeye. The fall of the shots Is
accurately computed hy the use of the
sextant and the plane table, and It must
he obvious to the most casual observer
that any shot failing within the pre
scribed space on the surface of the wat-'r
should be accounted a good shot. The
p actice of the Texas was p-obsbly much
better than the tn“re record of hitting
the target, but this will not be known
until the otfi -era detailed to plet the fall
of the shots make their report. Mean
while It should hi pleating to all who are
Interested In the navy—and who Is not?—
to note that the former 'Hoodoo" Is sus
taining the high state of discipline which
was developed on board ot her by the
.late Admiral Philip,
DANCER!
It is a bad custom to take Blue Pill or
Calomel, and trust to clearing out of the
system by Salts, Seidlitz Powders, etc.
You will retain the mercury in the system
notwithstanding, to plague you in after
years.
Another injudicious system Is the free
use of carbonates of Soda. Magnesia and
of Salts, and the various mineral waters
as laxatives. These agents merely act as
washes, and In many eases cause the for
mation of concretions in the bladder, ure
ters. kidneys, gall ducts, etc. One of Rad
way’s Pills is as easily swallowed as the
most agreeable of these drastic saline
washes, and, besides, free from their
objections, no concretions, calculi, stone,
or other foreign substances will occur
while these Pills are used.
