Even the Angletsanf acal Department of State ia becoming restive under the efforts, evidently inspired by high sources, of the British press, to make it appear that the United States is tl?d hftnd and ?oot to British policy in China. Not only is this untrue, so it is said, b it tlie Administration ie atlast waking up to the fact that its interest in China are not a unit with those of Britain, and that the latter has betray ed it mora than once since the iruubies over there began. As matters stand to-day, it ia perfectly apparent that Britain does not caro how long Central China is in a state of unrest. Her trade interests are al most wholly in the South, which has been undisturbed, and where her merchants are making lots of money. On the other hand. Central China, in which the United States had built up a great trade, oc cupying the field almost exclusively, has been looted and ravished until the purchasing power of the people is nil and will remain so for years to come. Russia, on the other band, dominates Manchuria under a plan much similar to that by which England holds Egypt. She hns an army of about 75,000 men there, who have restored order and who police the whole great province. Since she has been in control American trade has increased by leaps and bounds, practically all tho present American exports to China going to that part of the Empire. Britain natu rally objects to her hereditary foo establishing herself, even under a pledge to evacuate in time, in so vnst a country, and wishes the United States to join her in driviug Russia out. Hence, the Hood of misinformation that pours into tho United Status via London. Advices to tho State Depart ment direct give reason to believe that nil the wild tales of war between Rus sia and Japan, and of Russia spolia tion and murder ure concocted in Lou don for the benefit of the United States. They show, too, that the Rus sinus have been us merciful as any power, although Russian territory was invaded iu the first place and hundreds cf Russians killed. Certainly Russia has been far more merciful than Ger many, whoso -campaign of revenge could not hnvo been carried out except with tho consent of England-a cam paign, by tho way, which injured American trade n hundred timen more than it did either German or British. Tho eyes of Secretary Hay are reported to have at Inst been opened to the wuy in which he has been deluded and mis led, and it is possible that he muy face squarely about some day and astonish tho Britishers. Senator Platt has "laid down," per mitting Colonel Sanger to be inducted into omeo without registering any further protest in the matter. Natu rally, "Me Too" Depew has followed suit. A few days ago Senator Platt announced that he thonght Colonel S ?rn uer's appointment would not bo ma le, and, it it were, his confirmation wo dd be opposed vigorously in the Bo ate. Senator Depew joined in and expressed himself aa opposed to Col onel Sanger, who has been out with tho New York Republican machine. Re membering, however, the disaster that overtook him yeaiv. ago, when he re signed his Beat ir. thu Senate beca ise of an appointment made by President Arthur distanteful to himself and Mr. Conkling, the leader of New York Re publicans was unwilling to precipitate another controversy in ?.he Senate, and decided to give in. Just how McKin ley succeeded in placating him is not known bnt wilt probably appear when some later appointments aro distribu ted. It moy be recalled that only four years ago Senator Platt made a similar protest regarding tho appointment of Mr. Roosevelt ns Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Then he said Roosevelt would not bo appointed sa long as ho ?had lifo to tight ins continuation. This was said ono evening and the next morning the Senator gave out a state ment to the effect that ho endorsed Mr. Roosevelt and was glud of his selec tion. Edward Atkinson has written a lot ter to a friend in this city, in which ho makes, among others, -tho followiug caustic comments oh the Philippine situation: "I observo that avery largo military display in feathers and uni forms took placo nt the inaugur?t inn But, I observe that when tho question is put 'Who will enlist for thu Philip pine war,1 very few but deadbeats and degenerates answer tho call. The total enlistments for the last two months have been about 4,500, 20 per cent, of those who ottered. That uumber will not make up for the depletion of tho regular troops in the Philippines dur ing that two months, lt does not in crease that force and adds nothing in place of the volunteers. This marks great progress in the intelligence ..ot' people. There are few poor enough and few belonging to the second order Of fools-not the natural fools-who enlist, for this ghastly service. I ob serve too, that each regiment of volun teers returning under arms numbers about .three-fifths tho original force. The rest are dead, wounded, diseased or discharged." Apropos of the Phil ippines, it may bo tuen tinned that the prevailing berief here no*, is that the Supreme Court will nor decide the insular cases until it reassembles next full from its summer vacation, it being reported, appaienily by authority, that thc questions are so complex thar, it is impossible to reach any agreement without several months of uninter rupted time ior consideration. Couvrant ly increasing sales ot' domes tic wines, -liquors and beers, disguised aa imported goods, has led Commis sioner Yerkes of the Internal Revenue Bureau to make ah important ruling. He holds that the shipment of these goods is illegal, and may ba punished with a fine of $500 and confiscation Of the wares. Officers of the bureau say that a large volume of the "imported'' eoods that aro sold in this country will o affected by the rulings. They de clare that many firms are doing a big business in selling American wines or liquors under foreigu labels. Often these labels not. only are printed in Fren eli or Dutch but they go so far as to give the name end add regs of tho mythical foreign firm.- Officials of the bureau are In doubt alto whether tho law can be .construed as prohibiting the sale of such bogus goods, and they believe a test ca?e will be needed to decide t hf poi nt. They say? however, that without doubt the shipment of inch goods on the part of manufactur ers is prohibited, and they believe that thia oonstr dion of the law m itself may result in breaking np the business. THE MEMPHIS REUNION. Southern Selected as Official Route. Colnmbir. iiiaie. The Southern Railway, with ita two routes between the pointe, one being through tho mountain region of North Carolina, h?? bees selected aa ibo offi cial route for the veterans moving to the annual general reunion at Memphis from this State for the veterans and others going to the unveiling of Chick amauga park, and for the movement of troops expected to attend the latter ceremonies. The official choice of the route was made by Gen. C. I.

Gen. J. W. Floyd also requested me to arrange tho route for movement of tho Stato volunteer tro jps to tho unveil ing of the Chickamauga monument. I have duly considered tho advant ages of the various routes ofteriug their services, and I am sure that tho great er facilities to nil concerned, going and coming, for both events, are offer ed by your route (Southern railway), and I beg to advise that it has been selected as tho official route to carry the veterans to tho Memphis reunion. May 20,1901, and veterans, State vol unteer troops and visitors to tho un veiling ceremonies of the South Caro lina monument at Chickamauga Moy 27, 1901. 1 will confer with you further ns to tho time of the leaving of trains, so that you cnn announce tho same.

Tho best coaches in the service of the system will be fur nished, and representatives of the company will accompany the veterans and troops on tho outward trip.

A schedule will bc ai ranged keeping the% veterans and all others who go on tho road the shortest possiblo length of time.
