NO MORE DISTURBANCE.
Punishment Upon Persons Insulting
Europeans-Pekin Is Quiet.

PEKIN, Oct 1.-THE three principal
ministers of the tsung- li-yamen, OF
Chinese foreign office, has visited the
foreign legations in an effort to persuade
the ministers to rescind the orders they
have issued for an increase in the
strength of their escorts OF legation
guards The Chinese ministers say the
presence here of the foreign soldiers is
likely to exasperate the Pekin populace,
which is now quiet.

Der OF the tsung- h-yamen and oppo.
nent of LII Hung Chang, who has been
disgraced on the charge of conspiring
against the dowager empress, has
started for his place of exile. He was
in excellent spirits and hopes he will he
reinstated in office at no far distant
date.
y few cases of mud throwing have
been reported, but they are merely the
acts of idlers and vagabonds. A procla-
nation will be issued threatening the
infection of capital punishment upon
any person insulting Europeans 1t is
now considered likely that there will be
no further disturbance of the peace.

Soldiers at Camp Meade Turn Out in
His Honor Sickness on
the Decrease.

CAMP MEADE, MIDDLETOwN, Pa, Oct.
7.-Major General Graham has received
a telegram from the war department
directing him to make no more perma-
nent improvements at Camp Meade or
large purchase of supplies. Chief Sur
geon Girard thinks the entire Second
corps will be sent to CuDa for garrison
duty and is sending the sick to the city
hospitals. His purpose is to make these
institutions base to clear the division
hospitals. The force of contract sur
geons is also being increased with a
view of selecting the most capable for
service in the West Indies.
A hospital car is being fitted up by
the Pennsylvania railroad company for
transporting patients to small hospitals.
Fifteen more seriously sick were sent
away, going to the West Chester hos
pital. and today the Red Cross society
sent special train from Philadelphia
to remove " typhoid patients to hos
pitfalls IN that city.
Governor Hastings sent Pr1vare Sec
rotary BETTER to camp to investigate
the complaint of Private John d.
Brooks, Company L, Fourth Pennsyl-
vania, student at Dickinson college,
that his brother, a private, Z. Lattimer
Brooks, Company A, Eighth Pennsyl-
vania, patient in the Second division
hospital, was being neglected and would
die unless sent to good hospital. Sec
rotary BETTER found that the young
mans statement was grossly exagger
ated.
General Graham has visited the de-
tention camp of the Two Hundred and
Third New York and was pleased to
find that sickness is on the decrease. 1t
will be some time, however, before the
regiment will be fit for active duty.
Colonel William J. Glenn, of Pitts
burg, has been relieved of command of
the Second brigade of the First division
and returned to the Fourteenth regi-
ment.
The Sixteenth Pennsylvania strag-
glers, who are quartered with the Second
West Virginia convalescents, have
asked tha1 they be sent to their homes
