WEEKLY ORDoON STATESMAN, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1900. HE SITUATION IS IMPROVING The Government Has Now Mere l!:pe of final Success IN SAVING MINISTERS IN CHINA No Extra Session of Congress Will Be Called at Present-Korcea to Be Sent to Aeia. WASHINGTON, July l'.-PccIdedly a more hopeful feeling with regard ta the Chinese situation was apparent In all Administration circles this evening). The tide of sentiment, which lias lieen markedly Desslmlstle. turned With t"h announcement of the victory of the al lies at Tien Tsin. and the capture of . the forts and the native eily, ami 7 gathered further strength from Minis ters AVu's cablegram declaring that . the foreign ministers at Pekln were ' safe on Jnly Oth. Aside from' these disiMitehes the arrival of the President aud a sieelal cabinet mating called to . consider the situation, were the fea tures of the day. Over lOO newspaper men thronged the corridors, while the cabinet was sitting behind closed doors At the conclusion of the cabinet meeting, -which lasted two aud a half . hours, Secretary Root gave out the fol lowing formal statement of the action of the cabinet: The President has determined that .the facts known to us do not require or justify the Vailing of an extra ses sion of Congress. Should future Ie velopments indicate that he is unable to lo what is required, with the means now at his couimand, and the action of Congress Js necessary to furnish either men or money, or authority, he will not hesitate to call it together. The decision that an extra session of Congress was not demanded by the existing conditions was the outcome of a showing which loth Secntary Root and Secretary Long were to make, as to the force that can be thrown iuto China without authoriza tion of additional troops by Congress, ' and also tne decidedly more hopeful feeliug eutertained by the President " and memlers of the cabinet, as to the safetj- of Minister Conger and otlier foreigners in IVkin. due" to' the cable ' of Minister Wu,' reporting the safety of the ministers on July Mil, two days after their reiorted massacre. While. '" this' cable Is ' not regarded 'us'mndui- - 'lve,lt is accepted in good faith for the ' preseut. 'Hut the Administration, it can le detinltely stateil, has set In mo 1 tion some machinery by which, it is I' confidently predicted, absolutely .'au thentic new ax to the. fate of our minister and other foreigners at IV ..' kin, will be ascertained." ' Through what chahuel the. Administration el ects to ixH-elve this all important news , Is not known, but the Una I settlement of the situation in jFekin is daily and hourly expected, can le stated with utmost positlveness. Advhe. receiv ed from Pekln. probably will le the . determining factor in shaping the fu ture course id this Government. If Minister Conger has been murdered, h-'au extra sennion of Congress seems lu . ' evltable. Secretary Itoot furnished to . the Cabinet a summary of the troops available, not only in this country, but in China and the Philippines. ' It - 1 his opinion that letween lo.ooo and lit.Ooo troop fa all could te xja?tl for service In China. -These relnforce tnents are to le rushed through at the " earliest possible moment. Most, If not . all of them. It I believed, can Ie laud ed by the eud of August or early in ' Keptemlier. j A STATE OF VTA It. Washington. July 17. The Paymas ter General of the War Deitartment to day decided that the 'troop now in China are doing war duty, whatever may le the diplomatic view of the sit uation.

The chief- of ordinance furnishes a list of officers and material whlehcjivtll le available for use in China. lie re ports that there is an abundant supply of small arms and machine guns of Mitall calibre on hand, for a prolonged , war on a large -scale. . For siege guns there are some -too to rs- rounds per gun now available, and additional or ders have been placed for more. Two ' complete six-gun .batteries, of twelve ' loind Vlckers-Maxim guns, with 3tV) -rounds of ammunition ter gun. have lieen ordered In England.

FUGGLES HOPS.-Jillert & Pat terson have a portion of their hop yard near Lincoln, set to the Fuggles vari ety of hops, and these will noon tie ripe as can. be seen by a sample from that yard, hanging in the Statesman show window. This variety, of hops com manded the highest price last year, Messrs. Gilbert & Fatterson selling their Fugglcs hops at 12 cents per pound. They, however, are not as profitable as other varieties, for the reason that they produce only from t0 to lifl pounds per acre, while others will produce from 100O to 1S00 pounds. CUT HIS FOOT.
