Mr.. Goodnow took IN that matter was to
inform the State Department that re
doubted the wisdom of one nation landing
troops. without others having the same
privilege. 1t is also said that the China
Gazette is a British paper. and p,ssibly
represents a sentiment existing among the
English at Shanghai opposed to Consul
General Goodnow and the course he has
pursued.
The Policy of the Government.
Confirmatory news of the occupancy of
Pekin by the allies from American officials
is expected at any hour. What the next
move will be must depend upon the condi-
tions found to exist at Pekin, and the un-
derstanding by which the entrance to the
city was permitted without opposition.
In general terms 1t may be stated posi-
lively that the policy of this government
is to withdraw the American forces from
Pekin Immediately effecting the res
cue and the return march to Tien Tsin is
expected to begin at once. But the con-
ditions may render different plan neces-
sary. An obligation to protect the dynasty
until order is restored may be involved in
the permission given for the allies to enter
the city without resistance.
1t is likely that an immediate departure
from the city would De stipulated by the
Chinese. 1t may be regarded as significant
that the government had the power, if such
was the case, to restrain hostile demon
strations by the Chinese troops and to
permit the allies to enter the city. Such
power implies a control of the hostile
Chinese forces, utterly inconsistent with
the claim that the government was not in
sympathy with the attack upon the lega
tions and could not control the imperial
troops to prevent it.
China Will Have to Comply.
But whatever the responsibility of the
Chinese government may be for the out
RACES that have been committed, the fact
OF their being compelled to permit the allies
to enter Peki1 renders 1t certain that the
imperial government is not in condition to
resist the powers of the world. but will have
to comply with the demands for reparation.
1t is not expected that an effort to enforce
reparation will be made at once, though
conditions may compel the army to remain
in Pekin, in spite of contrary policy being
favored. The reports of Chaffee and Con-
ger will determine the course for this gov
ernment, both of these officers being fully
informed of the desire of their government
not to become more deeply involved than
absolute necessity demands

ASSASSINS
TWO ITALIANS ARRESTED ON
REACHING NEW YORK
Said to Have Come Here to Attempt
the Life of the Presi-
dent.

The secret service has arrested two Ital-
ians who were reported as on their way to
this country to attempt the assassination
of President Mckinley. They are Natalie
Moresca and Michael Guida. and they are
now detained by the immigration officials
in New York. They arrived direct from
Naples Italy, on the Kaiser Wilhelm III
last night. The vessel was boarded by W.
p. HaZen, head of the New York office
under instructions from Chief Wikie of
this city, and the two men We're placed
under arrest. An investigation has since
been going into the history of the two
men. While nothing has so far been found
to identify them with any secret society
OF Italy or as being anarchists, 1t has been
found that MoreSca is an eX-conyict The
history of Guida is now being looked up.
The Information on which the men were
arrested was received by Chief Wilkie on
August 1 from Naples, and he has been on
the lookout ever since. The secret service
was informed that these two men were
going to leave Italy with the avowed pur
pose OF killing the President of the United
States. Descriptions of the men were fur
nished by the informant, and there was no
trouble in arrestng them on their arrival.
The men protest their innocence, but they
are suspicious characters. 1t is hard u
tell what will result from the investigation,
but il is likely that both Will be deported.
Moresca will have to go back beyond doubt.
as he is an eX-convict and cannot be landeG!
in this country under the immig grafton laws.
Secret service officials are not disposed to
give the greatest credit to the information
that the men intended to attempt the life
of the President. Such attempts by for
eigncrS are at least unusual and the only
thing which could induce one now is the
success of the Italian who killed King
Humbert This action may have caused
Italians of criminal bent to think over
what they might do in this country.
Ever since the assassination of King
Humbert greater precautions have been
taken as to the President. Information
to the hours he is going coming is not
given out now with the freedom that was
formerly the case
