United States and China Technically at Peace, and Outrages May Thus be MORE SPEEDILY AVENGED. Washington. July IG ?Tho deoi sioo of tho administration is that the United States goveromont is still not at war with the government of Chins. Tho big happenings at Tien Tsin, com* iog on top of the stories of the last struggles at Pekin have not effeoted the attitude of the administration on this point; the Uoited States and China are technically at peace. But this statement should not be aooepted as indicating a purpose on the part of the Uoited States government to bold its band io the administration of swift and adequate punishment upon the Chinese, without regard to station, who may be responsible for the out? rages of the past few weeks. It means simply that tho government of the United States feels it ean best aohieve that purpose by regarding the status officially as one of psaeo. To bold otherwise would seriously oripple the government io its efforts to obtain satisfaction for the outrages tbo Ameri eans in China have suffered. We should find the ports of China, now open to 01, elosed and all sorts of im? pediments would be encountered whioh now are missing. Therefore aooordiog to the adminis? tration view, a declaration of war would afford oot even a technical gain while it would be actually a heavy drawback. Chairman Cannon of the house ap? propriations oommittee, is authority for the statement that money fo plenty is at the disposal of the president to meet the present emergency, and thst there is no neeessity for a oalled session of congress on that score. Great reluotance was manifested on the part of the participants to answer questions a*, to lbs nature of the delib? erations. The best indication of its nature wss the departure for the White House of Seeretsry Hay immediately after the meeting. Ha sat down and held a long talk with Presideot Mc? Kinley over the long distanee tele? phone and it soon beoame known that tho presideot had deeided that it would be best for him to eome book from Can too to the national capital. The eabioet offioers talked over the possibilities of reeoforoiog the troops io China. There was no disposition shown to withhold those troops ; the ooly qoes* tioo was as to the amooot of additiooal foroe available. That was a teehoieal question, so it wss left to the war department officials to deoide. The ooly point laid down was that tho government would send forward all the troops that oould be spared at this time. Cold Steel or Death* "There is but one small chance to save your ife an that is through an operation," was the awful prospect sot before Mrs I B Hunt, of Lime Ridge, Wis, by her doctor after vainly trying to cure her of a frightful case of stom? ach trouble and yellow jaundice. He didn't count on the marvellous power of Electric Bitters to cure stomach and liver troubles, but she heard of it, took seven bottles, was wholly cured, avoided surgeon's knife, now weighs mare and feels better than ever. It's positive? ly guaranteed to cure stomach, liver and kid? ney troubles, and never disappoints. Price 50o at J F W DeLorme's drng store. 1 Remarkable Fall of Rain in Texas.
