Frequent stumlvling blocks are met, delaying1 tihe formation a plan to be pursued in d'Paiing wCth th.e C'hinese ide-nipoitentias ies. The lutinis ter.s are far from satisfied witli tin at titmle assumed by t'he Chinese court. They are of the tfpsinion that the pro positi punislrnienit of the offending pi inches and" otiher liigh officials is tn tirely in'adequate. and ptV.nt cut that, while the penalties recommended in aome cases may appear to be e-evete, it ust "bv remembered that these men are responsible for all tlhe lttss of lif dur ing the recent ujM-ising awl that- they countenanced all torts of owtraK-'S 'againsit fO'reign,eri aaul native converts.

ASKING TOO .T1UCII Government Circles Irritated Orar the Attitude of tbe Powers Washington. Nov. 10. A very strong feeling of irritation and concern prevails in government circles over the attitude of a majority of the powers in the Chi nese negotiations, as expressed through the ministers at Pekin. It is contended at the State Department that the nego tiations have taken a turn for the worse through the imposition by the foreign representatives of con ditions which the Chinese are ut terly unable to fulfill. Having done this, i it is claimed, the powers in order to accomplish anything at all. will (be obliged to modify their own condi tion ami thus place themselves in a hu miliating position before the world. Amazement is expressed 'by the of ficials in particular over the attempt of foreign representatives to have the Chi nese government carry out executions of dignitaries iby the wholesale. These dignitaries are powerful, and by combi nation might overthrow even the nomi nal power which the emperor now holds. To compel the emperor to endeavor to carry out a comprehensive program of capital punishment would result inevita bly, it is predicted, in the assassination rf the emperor and bring about a condi tion of uncertainty and a renewal of disorder to which the recent trouibles would be as a mere drop in the bucket.

CIGARETTE DECISION Judgment of Tennessee Courts Re versed by th Supreme Court Washington, Nov. 10. Mr. Justice Brown handed down the decision of the Supreme Court this afternoon in the case of W. B. Austin against the State of Tennessee, popularly called the cigar ette case. In this case W. B. Austin prosecutes a writ of error to reverse the judgment .of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, affirming the judgment of the Criminal Court convicting him and im posing a fine of $50 for selling cigarettes in violation of the statute passed in 1807 by the legislature of Tennessee, prohibiting the introduction and sale of cigarettes. The statute is in these words: "Be it enacted by the General Assem bly of the State of Tennessee, -That it shall be a misdemeanor for-any person, firm or, corporation to sell, offer to, sell or to bring in the State for the purpose of selling, giving away or otherwise disposing-of any cigarettes, cigarette paper or substitute for the same, and a viola tion of any of "the provisions of this act shall be a misdemeanor, punishao'e by a tine of not less than $50. "Be it further enacted, That the grand juries shall nave inquisitional power over offences committed under this at." The decision of the Supreme Court t of Tennessee was "that cigarettes not being, on account of the noxious and diu rt fu.1 character, per se, legitimate ar ticles of commerce, and not having been declared such and commerce there in j regulated by Congress, it wm's the right and duty of -the State, under its reserved police powers, to pas's the stat ute in question, for-the protection of the lives and health of its people, until Con gress -shall take appropriate action in the matter. Also, that the sale of cigar ettes involved: in this case was not of an original package, but of parts of an original package that had been broken hy the imported, and therefore not pro tected by the commercial clause of the Federal Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States affirms that part of the decision of the Supreme Court of Tennessee which holds that the sale of cigarettes involved in this case was not of an j original, package, but does not affirm j that prjfrt of the decision which can- i rends .that cigarettes aire not legitimate articles-; of commerce. I The judgment of the Tennessee courts ; is HT-yerjHMf. I Chief Justice Fuller and Associates j Shiras land PeCkham dissented. I In tie opinion handed down today! the Supreme Court does not undertake! to defiac what is an original package,1 nor nvaat is not, further than to hold! that tl9 ordinary package of ten or! tventv cigarettes such as is retailable to m Ters is not an original package. I In 1 j? Austin case it was held that: an age)t of a common carrier went to a warehouse of the American ToJbaceo Compaii3r in Durham, N. C, and rrath-i ered up from the floor a large lot of padkages each containing ten cigarettes. In this 'basket the little packages were shipped into Tennessee. The contention of the shippers and of the importer was that these little packages were original and therefore could be sold in Tennes see under the commercial clause of the Constitution.

FROM BAD TO WORSE Situation in the Philippines Little Short of Desperate FIGHTING DAY BY DAY General MacArthur Receives a Curt Dispatch from General Corbin and Answers It with Facts Our Forces in the Islands inadequate te Cope with the Situation The Troops Sick, De moralized and Dispirited. Washington, Nov. 10. A War Depart ment official this morning was antnority for the statement that when General MoArthur arrived at Cavite on board the Brooklyn, after an inspection of Subig Bay, he found a curt dispatch from Washington awaiting him. The message was forwarded Friday last by Adjutant General "Corbin, by order of the president, and reprimanded the commander of the Department of the Philippines for his "dilatory tactics and ordered him to begin at once an active campaign against the insurgents so that the war might be stamped out. General Corbin received .a reply to the message today and is alleged to be somewhat put out over the contents. In the dispatch from General MacArthur he defends his course of action and points to the daily lists of casualties as an evidence of his active campaign. It is also acknowledged that the insurgents are stronger today than ever ioefore, and that the United (States cannot hope to successfully contend with the oppos ing forces unless heavy reinforcements are sent at once. - General MacArthur further states that the news of the result of the elec tions in the United AStates has had no effect on the natives, save to inspire them with greater activity, and that the outlook promises no speedy end to hos tilities. He claims that he has scat tered his forces over an enormous area, and when his gallant soldiers have clear ed one district and entered another they are continually harrassed, van and flank, and have neither rest nor safety at any time. General Bates is daily meeting over whelming forces, -the dispatch states; General Hare is ' attacked at every move in Marin-dnqne, and Geiner:l Grant is endeavoring to cut his way to safety, only thirty miiles north of Ma nila, 'which has always been cotnsddejred pacified territory. T-h American I'o-3e. in three days are given a twenty-threo privates and one officer killed and eleven privates wounded. ' In his report on his inspection of Su big Bav and adjacent territory, General MacArthur states that. the troops are in a very unhealthy and unsatisfactory condition, and asks that they bo remov ed to better quarters. The entire 'Thirty-ninth infantry; which was stationed at Daguna de Bay, is reported to be in a demoralized con dition through illness and constant fighting. It is reconnnehdfd that the command be allowed to proceed to Taal to recuperate. In this event'it is believ ed the Filipinos will again seize the ter ritory and !the labor of a year will be und'one. Adjutant General Corbin immediately forwarded General M a c Arthur's mes sage to the President, who is expected to take action on it at the next cabinet meeting. CHANCE FOR COMBINE Nebraska Fuslonlsts Hope to Land Al len or Bryan in the Senate (Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10. The fusion forces have combined with the hope of securing the re-election' of -Senator Allen or possibly the election of Bryan, to the Senate. D. E. Thompson, a well-konwn Republican of Lincoln, and a prominent candidate before the iRepublican caucus for the senate, says the strength of the fusionists on joint ballot was offered to him if he could command votes enough f rom Republican sources to make up the difference, he in turn to cast the Republican votes at his disposal for the Thompson says he -refused to consent to man to 'be indicated 'Dy tne iusionists, this, but the plan is believed to be seri ous. As there is a working .majority of only eight among the Republicans and some differences of opinion among the promi- 'Jient RepuToliean candidates, the lusion likely to be returned to the Senate in spite of the present Republican major ity if tiryan will get outv ot tne way. Everything points to one of the most ex citing sessions in the history of tne Ne braska Legislature. Harris & Co. Fail New York, Nov. 10.

At the former ser vice he spoke about Japan, where he has been for a year past. At St. John's he discussed mission work in China, wnere ne labored tor niteen years. The ' secret of suceess of Episcopal missions, 'he said, lay ia their system, as it was essential that the power of directing affairs be invested in a person right oni the ground and thoroughly acquainted! with all the local conditions.
