EFFECT OF THE ADVANCE.
Minister WI Discusses the Forward
Movement of the Allies

Minister WI said last night that he had
received no instructions from his Govern
ment to ATTEMPT to persuade the United
States not to take part in the advance OF
the allies on Pekin. He was not surprised
to hear that the advance had begun, and
said:
Il cannot tell what effect this advance
of foreign troops toward Pekin will have
on the people up there who have been
causing the trouble. The Chinese are
peculiar people and they may take no.
tion to put the foreigners outside the city
walls and tell them to go home the best
way they can. I have not had any mes
sage informing me of the advance of the
allies
A long cablegram came to the Chinese
Legation last evening which was said to
be from Peru and personal to the Minister
in regard to the Chinese Legation in that
country.

to AaISe nm Affidavit.
Major Sylvester has received from Lieut..
John C. Daley, of the Ninth precinct. a
report concerning the affidavit given by the
lieutenant alleging frauds at the Demo
cratic primaries. The affidavit was used
by the antl-Norris Democrats at the Kan
sas City Convention in the contest made
by them for recognition in the Conven-
ton. and. it is said. greatly Influenced
the Committee on Credentials in their
favor.
Last week complaint was fled against
the action of Daley by the Norris faction,
and Major Sylvester called upon his sub
ordinate for an explanation. This was re-
ceiyed yesterday and will in few days
be transmitted with recommendation to
the District Commissioners. Major Syl-
vester declined yesterday to discuss the
contents OF the report and intimated that
it would not be made public until after
the Commissioners had received it.
The complainants against Lieutenant
Daley contend that he violated the police
regulation which prohibits members OF
the force from taking an active part in
politics when he made the affidavit His
friends. on the other hand. assert that
Daley had perfect right to make affidavit
to the irregularities which came under
his observation at the polls.
