ington Notes ,
Our Duty Toward China.
WASHINGTON , March 2t. [ Special Tele
gram. ] A few weeks ago the Critic of this
city printed a sensatlnnal Interview with n
member of olio of the legations , giving the
reasons which Induced the president's mes
sage to congress showing the strained rela
tion ! ) between this country and China and
Impllcilly asking tlioleglslntUobrmich of the
government to takcsomu action In the mat
ter. This evening's paper contains another
Interview on tlio subject. It icpiesents the
president and cabinet as being very much
conceincd tor fear Chlini may levy nn Indem
nity on our scaboaid cities in iclaliatlon for
the destruction of the Ufa and piopeityof
Chinese residents In this country unless
home vigorous action shall bo taken , The
article stales that not only Is Knglaiid en
couraging the Chinese government to this
coutse , but Germany ns well. "Within tiio
past two ye.us , " the mtlclo continue ? , " ( ior-
many has nlfcctcd n gieat lilendshlp
ior China. She has built for
her four povteifiil lion-clad : : ,
averaging liom 4,800 to 0(00 ( tons each , armed
with the lines t Kiupp trims and icndy for in-
itant service. The picdomlnanco of ( icriuan
influence In China Is shown by the fact that
thu contract lor const ) uctlng a system ol rail-
toads from the iuteiiorof China to the sca-
coabt has been gianted to the great lierlln
banker , Itlucchioder , ono of Uismaick's
Rtauuchcst filends. Ho believes some sor-
of Bcciet treaty has been cnteied into be
tween ( icimany and China. Not the least
IntcicMing incident of tlio present time Is
that a ( icinian siiuadion , consisting of four
incn-ol-war , is nowciutslng In the south nnd
ccntial Alilcan waters within Unco days
btcain of our coast , the first that ever came
lieio ot so many sail. It Is undei the com
mand of one of tlio best sailoisof thoCcimnn
navy , Commodore Hun/.cl. The squadion
consists of the Stoln , carrying sixteen gnus ,
thoMultke , sixteen guns , the Sofia , ton guns ,
anil the Ariadne , nlnu guns. The olllcer- ,
nnd crew of the licet amount to 1,320 men.
What they me doing just at this time in
Ameilcan wateis is a mattei of some. IntcicM.
In view of lUsmaick's action icwulln
Ameilcan pioducts nnd Ameilcan natuial-
Ized cltl/ens , It means nothing filcndly to
the United States , yon may bo ceitaln. "
The Intcitlow concludes In these words :
' Some answei must be given the Chinese
ministers demand , and very soon , too. The
iliU3tton ! , I loam , was consldeied yostcidny
( Tuesday ) at the cabinet meeting. It has
been suggested to the piesldcnt that ho take
n couibo which 1 think would bo approved by
the entire countiy. Mr. Ulalno was the
choice of neatly one-half the American people
ple for the presidency. Tills Chinese matter
Is not a political question at all. It belongs
to both paitles to the wl.olo country.
The picsldent found it wlioio It is to-day.
His administration Is not responsible for Its
existence. Let him send for Mr. lilnino and
ask him to assist in formulating seine method
of dealing with It In a broad , statesmanlike
manner , which both political paitles can
unite in suppoitlng. Thcro is a picccdent
for this In the McLcod ca e. Mr. Webster
was made secretary of state then. The
question Involved was one of gieat delicacy.
Ho felt that botli political paitles weio
equally Inteicsteil nnd .should bo consulted ,
so ho invited gentlemen of the highest per
sonal standing of the opposition to aid him
with their advice. They met the Invitation
in thu spliit In which it was tendcicd , and
the lesult maintained tlio nation's reputation
in a mannei that was woithy the beat daybof
American diplomacy.
VAN wvcic WACIIIS A itiTnn wArt.
Senator Van Wyck's war upon that notori
ous monopoly , the Washington Gas Light
company , Is all the talk heio to-night. I''or
many years this coipoi.\tlon has buon n btn-
den upon the taxpayois heio. It has chaigcd
cnoinioiis lutes for gas , beginning at about
84 per l.OCO cubic feet , until it has icached

the company can fuinlsh gas hero whcio coal

sand and make laigo piollts. All the steps
which liavo been taken to sccmo through

Harrison asked whether his withdiawnl
wns not made because ot the dibeomy that
thu claimant wns n democtat.
Witness said ho didn't know yet ; ho hadn't
completed the case.
Senator Haiilson asked the leasons which
compelled the witness to withdraw the case.
In icply Ciencial Black said ho was tola
yesteiday by a mnn that the committee had
an excellent joke which they weio going to
spring on him. That theio was n case of ono
man who was a democrat and chnii man of a
dcmociatlc county committee. Ho ( Mr.
Black ) ran over his libt htmledly. nnd bo-
eame satisfied that the man Whltsit was a
democrat.
Hairibon asked if the witness knew that
the claimant had nhvn > s been ndcmociat and
was chairman of the democratic committee of
Indianapolis , to which tlio commissioner ic-
plied in the negative.
Commissioner Black said ho had not
dropped Whltsit. Ho did not know whethei
ho should do It. Kmplmlically he thought
the testimony wns insulllclcnt to keep him
on tlio rolls.
Plumb called attention to another on the

Appropriations For State Institutions.
DKS MOINKS. Iowa , March 2t. [ Speclnl
Telegram. ! The house commltteo on appro
priations reported to-day on most of the state
Institutions. Their icports clve to the Foi t
Mndlson penttentlmy,311,700to ; the Anamosa
penitcntlaiy , 3'11,400 ; to the Olenwood Insll-
tuto for feeble mlndo 1 childicn , 511,200 ; for

Sai.GjOj to the Vinton college for the blind ,
810,200 ; to the agricultural coltcgo nt Ames ,
5500 : ! ; to the Pilsoners' Aid association ,
Sl,600 ; for the cxpeii'-es of the Iowa exhibit
at the New Oilenns exposition , 820,000 ; for
the deaf and dumb Institute at Council
Bluffs , 51,450. The bills piovidlng appro-
prlallons for the tlneo Insane nsilunis ,
nlicady icported , weio the special older In
thu house , but ns they weio likely to occasion
n good deal of debate , they wcie laid over
till after the other appioprlation bills wcro
received , and will bo the special older for
Friday nt U n. in.
Them is much dissatisfaction with the re
port of the committee in allowing only
310,000 foi the new hospital being built nt
Clarlnda. The Irnstees asked for So03,000 to
continue the work , but the committee pie
pose that \\oik shall bo stopped until Iho
floating debt of the Mate is paid. They allow
fet building additions to the asylums at In
dependence mul Mount Pleasant , but their
Incieased capacity will still leave 1,500
ln ano tn the state for whom
thcro Is no piovlslon. A strong
light will bo made for an appiopiintlon to
keep up woik on the Clnrlndn hospital. Cer
tain rumors alfectlng the location of the hos
pital there and the manner In which tlio last
appropriation was expended have been cur
rent , but the friends ol the hospital mo ask
ing mi opuortunlty to rctuto Ilia chmges nnd
demand a vindication. They hope to get nn
nppropilntlon over the adveiso icpoit of the
0011111111100. OH Ing to the depleted condition
of the tieasury it Is probable that no anpro-
pilation will be made for the capital or for the
new slate fair gionnds.

Jay Gould In volution to the strike on his
llne . The following is the substance oC
Ciould's remarks : There can bo no compro
mise In this case. Thcio Is no loom for com-
piomlse , for the stiikcis have confessed In
effect tlmt they ha\o no grievance against the
company. I nm bound to light the question
to the blttci end. and for this ic.isoii I hn\o
asked the opinion of Judge Dillon ns to our
legal rights under the circumstances , nmt his
decision Is that It Is our duty ns well
as our light to pio\ent the Inlcirup-
tlon of the business of the load
by all legal moans. Hosnjs tlmt the com
pany luis n clear legal lemedy ngnlnst the
Knights ot Labor oiganiration foi suits , and
wo pioposo to test this < iuestion In the com K
Wo shall sue the iiicmbeis nt the oiganl/n-
tlon , mid in fuel papers In the case are being
piopaicd in accoulaiicc with Judge Dillon's
opinion.Vo pioposo to lecovcr damages of
every membcrol the oignni/atlon who has
nny pioiteity. A gioatmaiiyof the employes
ot the Missouri Pacific have homes which
they boucht out ot their savings. They nre
responsible to us lor the losses wo have Mit-
foied if they are Knights of Labor. Wo will
show them wo Intend to enforce our legal
rights. I propose to light it out on this line.
J'hi'io Is another fcatuio of the case , and
that Is , that e\ery shipper and manulacturcr ,
and o\ory peiMOii who has Milfeicd loss fiom
the stilke , lias the sauio legal icdiebs the iail-
load company lias. The success of this
strike , he fnld , would unsettle confidence
tluomihout the wotld , and these workmen
would bo the first to lecl Its dlsnstious
consequences. He had no news , ho bald ,
which would lead htm to Mippo that the
sttlko would extend to the east , and
Intimated that ho might ask for Injunctions
restraining the working Knights of Labor

chinches to add solemnity to the sacied ser-
Oneot the most Impoitant decrees Is that
concerning niatiliuony. It holds that since
ninriiago was raised to the dignity of n sncin-
nient It belongs solely to the chinch , to whom
thondmlnlstintlon ot thu .sncinment wnscn-
tilisted , to pass judgment on the validity ,
rights and obligations of maiilngc. No

make a subsequent one valid. Adulleiy ,
though It may justify "separation" liaiu
bed nnd bomd , cannot loose Urn maiilnge lie ,
MI that either of the parties may marry again.
Though the chinch sometimes permits the
maiihigo of Catholics with non-Catholics ,
bho never docs .so without the deepest regret
nnd with the explicit understanding that the
children of those unities must bo biought up
In the Catholic fnith.
Tlio council oideis Ihat within two years

In promoting Catholicity nmong tlio

directs tlio pastois to hnvu In cu'iy chinch a
