LONDON, Oct. S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Tien Tsin dated Saturday
says that the Japanese are advancing
cautiously toward Moukden and avoid

cruisers are closely watching the
Chinese feet in the gulf of Pc Chi Lii.
The Japanese army advancing on
Pekin is said to have many Koreans in
its ranks. The recent announcement
that American officers had entered the
Japanese army has been rectifed. 1t

several other American officers were

The Japanese government has in

taken. This assurance will probably

capital. They will, at any rate. at

Japan to be moderate in her demands
The emperor's palace in Pekin is now
guarded by Mantchu troops only.
A dispatch to the Standard from Ber-
lin says that the negotia tons of the
powers with the United States with a
view to the joint protection of their
subjects in China are said to be much

dispatch further says that Austria has

BIG PLOT SPOILED.
Colliery Rioters About to Blow
Up a PENNSYLVANIA Town.

WILKEsBARRE. Pa, May 19.-The
plot which for. downright tiendishness
has never been equaled in the annals of
crime in this section of the country was
nipped in the bud today through
the confession of one of the Keystone
colliery rioters. who told the story to the
detectives. o.:
The detectives will not give the name
of their informant. but there can be no
doubt as to the truthfulness of his
story. He said that the strikers had
secured nine kegs of giant powder,
almost enough to destroy one-haif of
this city. and secreted them near the
house of Foreman Heslops. This
evening, had it not been for the
arrest OF the ringleaders of yesterdays
riot, it was the intention of the strikers
to put the powder under the house of
all the bosses of the mines and set it
off. The result would have been some
thing terrible, taking into consideration
that the families of the bosses number
nearly one hundred persons.
Despite the evidence against the ring
leaders of the riotous Hungarians, the
six men who were taken into custody
this morning were this afternoon admit
ted to bail. They will be closely watched
by the detectives to see that no more
powder is secured. The nine kegs the
strikers had intended to use are now in
possession of the officers.
