OUR TROOPS IN CHINA.
List of Regiments at Picking and on
 the Way There.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The war de- pertinent has no information concerning the report from London that additional troops for the allied armies are urgent ly needed. If this was the case, noth- ing more would be done by this govern ment at present. The troops now un- der orders for the far east will continue to go forward, and when they reach Nagasaki it will be determined whether they will go to China or to Manila. the Philippines being the original destination of some of the troops under orders. There are now in China the Ninth infantry, eight companies of the Fourteenth in- fantry, Battery F, Fifth artillery; eight troops of the Sixth cavalry, and four latter having recently arrived.
 There are at sea, destined for China, four batteries of the Third artillery, Company E of the engineers, four troops of the Third cavalry, eight troops of the First cavalry and eight troops of the Ninth cavalry. Besides, there sailed on the Sherman yesterday four companies each of the Second, Fifth and Eighth infantry. Some of the troops at sea should reach Taku within a week or ten days. The latest arrivals were the four companies of the Fifteenth infantry, which arrived with General Barry. When General Barry reported from Taku, he announced that he would at once go to the front, and it was expected that the detachment of the Fifteenth in- fantry would accompany him toward Peking. It is believed that this force will be able to restore the telegraph line.

Jacobs We'll.

At the foot of Mount GeriEim, in northern Palestine, is a rock hewn well 9 feet in diameter and 10 feet or more deep, which Is traditionaliy held to be the ancient well of the patriarch Jacob and the same by which Jesus sat and conversed with s woman of Samaria. In very ancient times a church was built over this well. Though destroyed during the wars of the Cru sades, the ruins are still traceable. All circumstances concur with the univer- sal tradition to identify this we'll as the one spoken of In the sacred his tory. The depth of the water at the present day varies greatly, sometimes there being depth of several feet and another time the well being almost dry. No scene of these ancient Incl dents," says a writer, "is more clear and interesting than this. 1t is impos- sIble not to see his very gestures when he spoke of this mountain the Gerizim which rose about him and when he bade his hearers lift up their eyes and look on the fields, all ready white unto the harvest the titled lands of Jacobs plain which stretched before him."

New York, Aug. 22.-"It looks like Odell for governor, with the old state ticket renominated." Senator Platt thus briefly stated the situation confronting the Republican leaders yesterday as he said he understood it. He said, however, that the unwillingness of Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., chairman of the Republican state committee, to be the Republican candidate for governor this fall was well understood. Mir. Odell has said to some of his friends that he will not permit the Republican state convention to force the nomination upon him. The Republican politicians believe that Mir. Odell is sin cere in wanting to remain at the head of the state committee and to let some other man run for governor, but they believe at the same time that if the state conven- ton nominates him he will not refuse to run. Senator Platt wants Mir. Odell to be the candidate for governor. Other Republican leaders have declared that Mir. Odell is the only candidate who will be acceptable to the entire orsaniaations

 This peculiar property has been used 10 solve some questions of great Inter est to scientific people in general. An accurate knowledge of the direction of the earth's magnetic force in early his torical times has been deduced by sew eraI Italian physicists from study of the traces of magnetism shown by Etru- rian vases and other objects of clay exbumed from old tombs. The con- ciusion reached is that the direction of the earth's magnetic field has varied very greatly in the 5000 or coco years represented by the age of the objects examined.

Death of John J. Ingalls,.

John J. Ingalls,, former United States senator from Kansas, died at Las Vegas, N. M., on Thursday of heart dis ease. Ex-Senator Ingalls, was one of the foremost figures in American politics while be served in the upper house from 1873 to 1891. He was born at Middle town, Mass, Dec. 20, 1888, and was ed ucated at Williams college. He was ad- mitted to the bar in 1857 and a year later moved west, settling in Kansas. where he at once made a name. Until 1873, when he was elected to the senate, MT. Ingalls, was not prominent politically, but on his going to Washington at once launched himself into the political arena so irresistibly that his power was undis- puted for years afterward. As a senator he was one of the most pyrotechnical fig ures in American politics. During the whole of his IS years service he was call ed the most brilliant and distinguished member of the senate ever sent from west of the Mississippi He was always a radical Republican partisan, but as president of the senate for years gave impartial satisfaction to the Democratic members as well as his own party men.

Seven Killed In Freight Wreck.

There was a fatal rear end collision in front of the depot at Kensico, N. Y., on Tuesday.

Incendi.ry Fire at Newport.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 22.-It was learn ed last night that a fire at the summer residence of former Governor Charles Warren Lippitt last Friday evening which was said at the time to have been the result of defective wiring for electric lighting was attended by such circum- stances that it is now believed to have been of incendiary origin. Furthermore, another fire occurred there an hour later for which no alarm was sounded. No doubt was left in the minds of Mir. and Mrs. Lippitt that somebody had actually tried to burn a part if not the whole of their villa. Mir. Lippitt declined to speak of the matter last evening. Chief of Po- lice Richards was equally disinclined to talk in view of the fact that the fires were being investigated. It is not known whether the police have any clew to the offender.
