ABOUT TO MARCH ON PEKIN.
Reports Say the Chinese Troops
Are Between Two Fires.

tBy Associated Press.)
SHANGHAI, Aug. est is reported
here that the Japanese transports, es-
corted by war vessels, are landing troops
in force to the northward of Taku, with
the intention of marching upon Pekin.
Another report says that the Japanese
have succeeded In landing 10000 men on
the banks of the Salu River, separating
Corea from China, and that they have
thus cut off the supplies OF the large
army which the Chinese have sent down
the Corean peninsula.
Finally, this report says that the jap
cnese troops are converging upon the
rear of the Chinese army marching
southwark, and that the latter will, con-
sequently. be taken between two fires, in
addition to being cut OFF from its sup
plies. which. It is claimed, will alone
bring about disaster.
A third repor; says that the French
Commissioner at Hong-Tyong has been
murdered by the soldiers of Gen. Yeh.
All the three reports referred to In
his despatch are merely the current
rumors of Shanghai. and they one and
all lack confirmation.

WlCKES ON THE STAND.
He Admits n Reduction Looked I'm
fair, but Said 1t Was for the Best.
rBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO. Aug. 2S.-Vice- President
Wickes. of the Pullman Company, took
the stand to-day before the Strike Com
mission. Questioned by Chairman
Wright he said that the cost to the
Company of building the cars under con-
tract at the time Of the strike was
about $4,000 The labor would cost
about $4,000. The contracts were taken
on a basis OF reduction of 20 per cent,
and thus under the old prices the labor
would cost about $4,000
Mr.. Wickes admitted that on this
basis the Company had reduced its re-
ceipts $4,000 and the, employees wages
looked hardly fair, but he thought II
much better than to throw the men en-
tirely out of employment.
In answer to the Chairman, Mr.. Wickes
said that the cut in pay had been made
to tit the depression In business and the
any encroachment OH the profits that
were paid to the stockholders.
The surplus of SIS, 900, 900 undivided pro-
fits consisted partly of idle cars, whose
value was constantly deteriorating.
The cost of the cars was counted In
the surplus, SO that there was, to some
extent, a fiction in the figures Of the
surplus.
MIR. Wickes said that the Worlds
Fair, ir his opinion, did not do his
Compay spen A.bOO.Ooo In building new
cars for fair traffic. and the travel was
not nearly so large as was expected.
He said the amount of back rent due
the Company from strikers was 100000:
No eviction list had been made, and
there had been no orders for eviction.
Very little effort had been made to
collect the back rent.

Chief Clarence and his followers were

On board the Alene the Mosquito chief
proved a source of interest and much

of one of the New York passengers on
the ship, would strut about the saloon
