is unknown, and there is great uneasiness
here regarding their Intentions.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-To-day's ad
vices from Toxic that a second Japanese
army of 10000 men sailed from Hiro-
schima yesterday is regarded in official cir
cles here as the first move in advance on
the Chinese capital. Peking. The Gulf
of Pechili. which the dispatches give as
the probable destination of the army, is
the entrance TO the river leading to Picking.
It is said the forts at the entrance of
the river are practically impregnahle,
owing to a stretch of mud-fiats around
them. 1t is not believed. therefore, that
any advance on Peking would be made up
the river, but the 80, 600 men will be landed
at some other port, whence short over
land march will take them to the walls of
Peking. The circuit of the forts is

officer of high rank. who has made study
OF the proposed invasion of China.

officially that the report of the bebeadiDg

being spies and who were surrendered by
the United States Consul-General at
Shanghai, to whom they had appealed for
protection. Is untrue. The Japanese are
in Chinese custody awaiting trial.

Robert 4. Campbell, Nephew OF County
Commissioner Campbell, Kills Himseif.
Robert T. Campbell was shot and in
stantly killed last evening between sun
down and dark near his fathers home,
four miles east OF Tocumseh. He was
out hunting, and the shooting was acci-
dental. He was p years old, and was
the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r Campbell,
and nephew Of County Commissioner

Last evening after he came home from
work he took his shot gun and went to
hunt rabbits. just before dark his father
heard two shots in succession, which
seemed to be near the house, but moth
ing was thought Of it until dark when
the young man did not come home Ills
parents then became uneasy and started
TO hunt for him. They were not
successful for some time and the neigh
bors were called in. At 9 o'clock young
Campbell was found 200 yards from the
house. He was dead. The entire top Of
his head had been carried away by the
discharge of the gun. One leg was fast
to wire fence and il is supposed that in
attempting to climb over the fence
the hammers of the gun caught on a
wire discharging it. Inc wound had
the appearance that the loads from both
barrels had struck the unfortunate
young man.
A dead rabbit was found where he was
found and another WAS lying 20 feet
away and it is thought that he was climb
ing over the fence to get the second
rabbit when he was killed.
