London. Aug. S.--The cipher dispatch
from the British minister a Pekin. re-
ceived az the British war office this morn
ing and read i'm the House OF Commons
today by the under secretary Of state for
foreign affairs Mr.. Wm.St. John Brode-
rick. announcing that the members OF the
legation We're holding out nve days ago
is taken, with the admiralty's announce
ment that the Chinese have been defeated
and are retreating before the allies,
making the outlook rather more cheerful
today than since Admiral Seymours un-
successful expedition.
CANNOT SEND REINFORCEMENTS.
The Russians hard fighting on the ST.
berian frontier, the difficulties of their
position on the I.iao Tung peninsula, and
the prospect of revolt against France
in Indo-China will probably prevent
either powers from sending reinforce
ments to the allies operating against Pc
kin.
Hence, the United States, Great Britain.
Germany and Japan will have To carry
out the military program without any
more troops from Russia or France.
Yokohama advices say dispatches re-
ceved from Seoul affirm that Corean
cabinet will organize the factions and
that the Corcan Emperor is sending pres

OPINION DIVIDED
PEOPLE INTERESTED IN MORRISON
CASE WRITE LETTERS.
Some Express Sympathy with Pris-
oner-Others Demand Her
Punishment

Eldorado, Kans., Dec. 10-Since
yesterday Miss Morrison has received
40 letters of sympathy. Only a few Of
these have been opened. On the other
hand the states attorneys are daily
receiving LETTERS expressing the hope
that the prisoner will be convicted.
Most of these come from women. One
from Kansas City woman, received
by Captain Waters says: "The peo-
pie at large are looking to you to see
that justice is done and that Jessie
Morrison gets the punishment she SO
richly deserves. If you cannot convict
her there is no safety for us woman
kind. Every jealous woman will feel
safe in giving way to their murderous
impulses, knowing that maudlin SYM
pathy will protect them.''
A. L. Reddin, for the defense, con-
tinued his argument at the after
noon session. There was in the court
room the largest crowd that it had
ever held. People were standing on
every foot of the floor and men and
women had climbed up to the window
sills. There was not vacant spot
within the enclosure for lawyers.
Women as usual were in the majority.
Miss Morrison appeared in differ
ent hat and jacket and had bedecked
herself with roses.

who is to referee the Cans Nc Govern

statement in tomorrow's Tribune:
Betting on the outcome OF the
Cans McGovern contest, which takes
place at Tattersalls Thursday night, is
at fever heat. The McGovernites are

Cans away
"a few bets were registered today
that McGovern would not be on his
feet at the end of the sixth round.
The parties making their bets DON t
specify that Cans will knock out Nc
Govern, but simply say Terry will
not be on his feet at the limit Ac-
cording to the articles of agreement
Cans must knock Terry out, or lose
the decision. Nothing is said in the
articles regarding Terry's being Oh

win Cans must place McGovern in a
position making it impossible for him
to respond or resume fighting at
titude at the expiration OF 10 seconds.
as prescribed by the rules. According
to the articles there cannot be draw.
There must be winner and loser,
and, therefore, Cans can win only
with knockout or on foul, while
McGovern can win by staying the
limit, with knockout or Oh a foul. :"
