The reading of this dispatch wbb greeted
with cheers from tho Irish members.
Continuing, Mr. Dalfour said:
"Lord Salisbury requested Mr. White to

I lilted Mtnte..
SHANQHA1. March 15. Tho American as
sociation hero telegraphed to tho United
Sta'es government today that the attitude
of the empress dowager toward the reform
ers will upset tho "open door" policy. They
also say rebellion and nnarchy are expected
to the detriment of foreign Interests and
advocate prompt concerted action on tho
part of the powers, The China association
will appeal to the Drltlsh minister, Sir
Claudo M. MctJonnld, on tho same subject.
WASHINGTON, March If.. The cablegram
from the American association has been re
ceived nt tho State department. It has not
jet been octcd upon, but is under serious
consideration.' At first reading It Is n-t
clear Just what connection exists between
the attltudo of the Chlneso empress dowager
towards the reform clement In China and tho
"open door" policy In which the United
States with (Tie remairfder of the civilized
world Is Interested.
It Is recalled, however, that the empress
dowager Is persecuting with relentless hatred
tho reform party, going so far ns to resort to
the barbarous practlco of ofTering n large
sum of money for the assassination of lead- i
lng reformers.
This reform element In Chlnn Is believed
to Include nearly nil of the Chinese who
are disposed to clcvato China Into a civilized
tintlcn, following In the footsteps of Japan.
They realize that this can only be done with
the help of foreigners nnd are therefore
disponed to tho "open door" as one of the
measures to liberalize and enlighten Chlnn
through tlio Introduction of foreign capital
and foreign methods.
It Js assumed that tho basis of this rep
resentation front the American association
Is an apprehension that the conservative
party surrounding tho empress dowager In
satisfying their animosity against the re
formcis. will exclto tho dormant nntl-forelgn
feeling among" tho masses of Chinese to a
degrees that will mako the "open door"
Imposslblo of attainment.
it Is a curious fact that our minister to
China, Mr. Conger, has so far made no
representations to the State department
touching this subject. He has reported to
tho department that serious ntacks have been
unado upon the American missions in Shan
Tung by tho "Doxers," a powerful and
numerous nntl-forelgn league of Chinese. It
Is this samo organization which has attacked
some of tho French missionaries In that
quartor of China and have even carried their
operations to the very doors of Klao-Chou,
the German holding In North China.
Upon tho minister's ropresentntlon the
Stnto department has decided than an Amer
ican war ship shall bo dispatched from the
fleet at Manila to tho nearest convenient
port to the seat of discord, probably In this
case Taku, at tho mouth of tho Ple-Ho river,
or Wel-Hnl-Wel,
It Is expected! however, that the Chinese
government will bo nble to repress the
"Doxers" without any action on the part of
tho Amerlcnn war ship. It Is distinctly
understood that this little naval demonstra
tion will hnve no connection with the
struggle now going on between the empress
dowager's party and the reformers, for this
may fee regarded as a matter of purely
Internal politics, with which our government
has no right to concern Itself. It Is proba
bletherefore, that this decision on our part
indicates the diameter of the response that
will bo -made b tho Department of State to
the cablegram .Vom tho Amerlfan associa
tion. SENSATION IN REFORM CASE

Kviiuiliiiitloii of I'nrKhuriit.
NEW YORK, Mnrch 13. A sensational
clement wns Injected Into the reform move
ment today when the grand Jury formally
protested against tho presence of District
Attorney Gardiner during the examination
of Dr. Pnrkhurst. Shortly after they as
sembled the grand Jurors went In a body be
fore Recorder Goff and asked for Instruc
tions. Tho foreman, addressing the recorder,
said that the orderly proceedings of busi
ness had been Interfered with and tho grand
Jury desired to examine witnesses without
tho presence of any member of the district
attorney's otllce.
A spirited colloquy ensued between Col
onel Gardiner nnd Recorder Goff, tho latter
declining to allow tho district attorney to
address him. Finally Colonel Gardiner was
allowed to state his side of tho controversy.
He claimed that ho had a right to bo pres
ent In the grand Jury room and to advise
the Jury It necessary in the examination of
witnesses.
Recorder Goff in a lengthy address sus
tained the grand Jury. Ho dotlned tho condi
tions under which tho district attorney
might bo present, but Bnld that right was
limited to tho giving of Information lo tho
grand Jury. After that Information had
been given, said the recorder, his functions
ceases and ho must withdraw. Should tho
necessity for It arise, said the recorder,
the Jury could compel him to retire. Col
onel Gardiner attempted to enter a protest,
but this the recorder refused to hear.
The action of tho police olllcials lust night
In arresting tho proprietors and mauageiH
of several reputable restaurants and hotels
in which music is made a feature of the
dinner hour, was generally discussed today.
These proceedings wero based upon the law
requiring hotels to havo a concert IIcomhj If
an orchestra were employed, the section
under which tho attempt was made to close
the notorious resorts In tho tenderloin pre
cinct. Thero Is a rather general Inclination to
believe that this Is an attempt on thn part
of the police to mako tho vice crusado un
popular and also to divert attention from
tho movement against gambling. Rev. Dr.
Parkhurst and other leadero In the reform
movement, however, declaro that tho prose
cution of gambling bousis, pool rooms nnd
other Immoral resorts will bo pushed with
all vigor and Dr. Parkhurst Intimates that
he will strlko at high places.
Ur. Parkhurst, who was subpoenaed to ap-
pear beforo tho grand Jury, wno In tho crimi
nal court building promptly and Immediately
went to tho grand Jury room. He was naked
If ho cared to say what he would testify to
beforo tho grand Jury nnd replied Hint he
would not. Assistant District Attorney
Ungor, who is active In the reform crusade,
was asked If Chief of Police Devery had
made himself liable to Indictment for his
actions lae night and declined to reply.
Colonel Gardiner stated later that tho
controversy between himself and tho grand
Jury had arisen because he objected to the
action of the Jury in declining to swear
Rov. Dr. Parkhurst. Colonel Gardiner said:
"I bellevo this was a prearranged and
put up Job. In whose Interests It Is done Is
what I want to know. I am not trying
to protect anybody and I am going to strike
hard."
Dr. Parkhurst was before the grand Jury
about two hours.
After a session lasting three hours the
grand Jury handed down twelve indictments
against thirty men for keeping gambling
and disorderly houses.

tected cruisers, to cost about $1,141,000 each.
'It was determined not to provlic any gun
boats, in view of tho opinion expressed by
Secretary Iong nnd Admiral Dewey that
General Otis' recent purchaso of serviceable
boats of this character met present gunboat
requirements.
The committee decided to authorlzo the
secretary of the navy to contract for armor
nt a prlco not exceeding $345 per ton. This
nppllcs to the emergency armor, nbout 7,400
tons, required for the battleships Maine
Missouri nnd Ohio, now In course of con
struction, nnd not to the vessels authorized
but not begun, nor to thOHe contemplated
by tho present bill.
Tho committee did not provide specifically
for tho building of any of the now ships In
government yards, as has tjecn urged by
delegations from Drooklyn and elsewhere,
and It Is expected that tho usual provisions
as to building will be Inserted in the bill,
with possibly some discretionary power with
the Nuvy department as to utlllzlug govern
ment yards for this purpose.
for n nvnl Ciimiuilmi Hoiird.
Tho secretary of the nnvy has determined
to oppolnt n general board to meet onco a
month nnd consider general plans of cam
paign to ho used In case of war. Tho board
will correspond somewhat to tho strategic
board which was In existence during the
Spanish-American wnr and it is Intonded to
meet tho demands of the modern theories of
preparedness for wnr. Admiral Dewey Is to
bo at tho head of tho board, on which will
probably bo tho chief of the bureau of nav

REPORTS ON CABLE BILL
niirrrcnt IdeiiH on Construction of n
Line to HiimiiII nml the
Orient.
WASHINGTON. March 13,-Four distinct
reports on tho bill for the construction of n
Pacific cablo to Hawaii, tho Philippines and
Japan, were filed todny from mombers of
the house committee on Interstate and for
eign commerce.
Sherman of New York submitted the ma
jority report favorable to a bill Introduced
by him for iv cablo to be built under private
auspices, the government paying $300,000
annually for twenty years for the trnnsmls
slon of government messages,
A minority report signed by Represent
atives Adamson. Adams, Shackleford and
Dnvey dissents in toto with the bill. An
other minority report signed by Represent
atives Corliss, Fletcher and Stewart, op
poses tho plan of prlvstn ownership and
pr6posW a substitute embodylnr, the Idea
of government ownership of the cable.
Stilt another dissenting report Is from
Mann of Illinois, giving his Individual views
that a government cable would prove moro
beneficial to tho public and tho government.
Sherman's majority report Is an exhaustive
review of tho cablo question. It says that
tho argument for a government cable that
would bo under tho complete control of
the United States seems of small Importance
to the committee, except in time of war,
and in that event tho government Is au
thorized to assume control of tho private
cable which the committee recommend.
As to tho government cable being moro
economical to the United States, tho report
says that this loses weight from the neces
sity of establishing n duplicate cable.
