tainty remains the key note of the sit
uation in China. Well-informed quar-
ters continue to believe the legations
are still at Pekin, but authentic in

tend to create an impression that the

bic game simultaneously promulgating
public edicts against the Boxers an
sending secret orders to the viceroys to
disobey the commands" to suppress
the outbreaks.
Shanghai notes increasing signs Of a
general spread of the rebellion in the
southern provinces, but the local feel
ing of alarm is subsiding. That city al

What lovely man is General Nelson

The cause for these remarks lies in
the fact that General and Mrs. Miles
are the guests OF Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard
today, having arrived in Providence
last evening on the Colonial express.
1t Is purely a pleasure trip that Gem
ersl Miles is on and that may account
for the happy expression on his counte-
nance when the News man interviewed
him this forenoon.
The hero of so many battles would
naturally be expected to look battle
Scared" but General Miles grows
younger instead Of older in appearance
and shows no marks OF the trying or

Furthermore, 1t is evident that the
grass has not grown over his voice.
Naturally the first question that tho
general public would ask of the veteran
Is, what do you think OF the Chinese

OF course it is not to be expected
that General Miles, the commander ot
the United states army, could, would or
should tell all he knows.

DEAD ON TRACKS.

Fall River. Mass, June So.-The body
OF an unknown man about 45 years old
was found esg'ly this morning lying
across the double tracks of the Cove
street railroad bridge in this city. The
man had a cash in the head and had
the appearance of having been struck
by a train. At this point the tracks
converge. and II is thought that the
man was walking the track when two
trains approached and i'm avoiding one,
he was struck by the other.

Since the announcement Of the trou-

been alarmed for the safety of Admiral

was all smiles. and said the safety of
those reported lost gave him great sat-

"China's territory is so immense and
so little known TO Americans and Eu-
ropeans that l am astonished at the
success that has attended the Powers"
Did you anticipate trouble when
you were in Eastern waters?"
Il had such an uprising in mind when
i advised that the force in eastern wa

the American minister TO send guard
TO Pekin and Tien Tsin. and divided 150
marines between the two cities.
From what / learned an uprising OF
the Boxers was TO be looked for and a
greater guard might have prevented It..
But from what / read the situation is
by no means as serious as IL was, and
we have reason TO hope that the loss
among the American missionaries is
not by any means as large as reported.
The Chinese are a cruel race, with
a deep hatred for what they term the
foreign devils. / should hesitate, how
ever to say that the empress encour-
aged the Boxers, and am more inclined
to believe the statement that the riots
are only used as cloak to disguise q

an aggressive part, unless we wish to
lose our position as second to England
