Foreigners i'm China Urge Advance
ON Pckin. in Force.
Che Foo, June 26.-Foreigners ev-
erywhere are urging the immediate
concentration of an army of 100000
for an advance on Picking. Many per-
sons familiar with the Chinese charac-
ter think the foreign ministers and
Admiral Seymour are held as hostages
for good terms of settlement. They
also believe the whole Chinese army is
joining in the movement under the
leadership of lung Flu Hsiapg, who
crushed the Mohammedan rebellion.
Recently he was nominally degraded
for the purpose of organizing an anti
, foreign uprising quietly.
1t is estimated that G0,0o0 soldiers,
we'll armed, but poorly disciplined, arc
about Picking and 1ien -i'sin. Chi
nese officers boast they have 100000
soldiers. Seymour's force carried a
weeks rations and had an average OF
$50 rounds of ammunition.

cording to other oflieerss. intamed the
natives. The Russians are reported to
have been shooting Chinese indiscrim-
inately, driving away peaceful Chi
ncse who would have procured trans
portation and provisions, and footing
towns.
A great naval demonstration at all
treaty ports is said TO be desirable in
order to influence wavering Chinese
merchants who are friendly to for
eigners.
The masses are becoming excited at
reports of their countrymen's sue
cesses against the powers. Merchant
men arriving here report officers drill

When officials inspected the soldiers
with view if suppresssing the Boxers
they found the soldiers had sold their
rifles and equipment to the Boxers.
The military school at LoulSen is re-
ported to have been destroyed.
The British consul at Foo Chow is
asking for Il warship. The arrival OF
the British cruiser Terrible and. two
Japanese cruisers at Che Foo today
relieved the strained situation. Two
Chinese forts equipped with Krupr
guns command the foreign city.
The only protection was the United
States gunboat Yorktown With l5c
sailors. AS the outbreak was reported
last night the sailors slept ON their
arms and foreigners prepared to take
refuge on the ships.
Commander Taussig, of the York
town, requested the commander of the
forts to cease disquieting manenvers
with cannon and notified him III the
Chinese troops were sent to the city
ostensibly to repress the Boxers
Americans would be landed. There
are about 1850 American and British
missionaries at Che Foo. They are
short of money and clothes, having
left their stations hastily.

His opponents attribute this to
his platform, claiming that the

But while it is plainly apparent
that the governor is losing
