day a dispatch was received at the
japanese legation from the foreign Of
fice Of Japan. conveying the latest and
most authentic Information of the sit
uation In and around Pekin. In a meas
ure the advices were Of n disquieting
nature, as they indicated that the Chi
nese had rallied their forces and were
preparing for an attack upon the allies
in Pekin. II 1t should prove the allied
forces were besieged In Pekin, 1t would
account for the lack OF advices from
General Chaffec. As made public by
Minister Takahira. the dispatch from
the Japanese foreign office at Toxic is
as follows:

palace is located reports that the i'm
perial family. who had left Pekin Aug
ust 14th, started, after short rest at
Wan Shau Shan. for the west, and
were under escort of General Ma and
his troops. consisting of only about 800
horsemen and twenty carts.
The japanese forces occupied the
treasury department. In which over g.
100000 taels In silver and large Quan-
tity or rice was found.
Another telegraphic dispatch. dated
Taku, August 23rt. states that as the
Chinese troops and Boxers who had
gathered At Nan Yucn were about to
attack the foreign forces at Pekin, Jap
anese and Russian cavalry We're ex-
pected to encounter them on the 10th.
The dispatch further states that CHI
nese infantry. some 1900 strong, with
nfteen guns. are advancing from Shan
Tung to make rear attack on the a..
lies"
A copy Of the dispatch was trans
mitted to Acting Secretary Adee. at the
Department Of State. and by him fur
nished to the President. While the
news Of possible rear attack upon the
comparatively small force Of the allies
was not received with surprise. II gen.
orally was not regarded az serious, as

If one has eyes to see and ears to
eavesdrop, almost any journey is live
ly with Interest. The story of Don
Quixote Is good today. We may be
hopelessly to the rescue than was the
good old knight, but we watch the
strange men aud women that we meet,
and interpret the words that We hap
pen to hear, or the chance acts we
witness with as lively and adventurous
an imagination. We would probably try
our hand at mending the worlds az
fairs as gallantly had we not learned 80
we'll how uncomfortable it is to be
laughed at. We content ourselves as q
rule with mere GUESSING and opinions
and making up stories about the peo-
pie we pass, and keep our signs and
sympathy, our plans for rescue and
revenge secret.
The first part of our trip to New
Mexico was like the usual railway
Journey. After q rush for shady side
seat and an adjustment OF our belong
ings, we scrutinized the people about
US. We noticed two sweethearts bid,
ding each other farewell. The girl
was pretty enough, but did not look as
though she would make the man happy.
We decided that the big, fat man
with q bull-pup between his feet was
worthless: that Mr.. Van Dyke must
have heard that his mother WAS worse,
or he would not be going north at this
busy time; and, as the train rolled
along, we puzzled about the affairs and
chances of heaven of each of our fell
low-travelers that were in easy view.
Out side the windows we saw fast-hy-
ing vision of sands ;of tall lilies in bios
som; of peaked mountains; of the dusty
river-bed we were following: of far
away ranches distipguishable by the
windmill whereby man endeavors to
use the superabundsnce of wind to exc
out the scaptiness of water. and get q
morsel of drink for bis thirsty cotton
wood and alfalfa.
