Allies Marching on Pekin Without Wait
ing For Chafee's Force.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Cables from
Admiral Remey and General Chatfee,
both at Taku, bearing upon the condl-
tions in Pekin and at Tien Tsin, came
to hand over night. Admiral Remey
confirmed the information that the
legations were safe up to the 22d inst.
General Chatfee said that according to
a report at Taku, the allied forces were
to begin the campaign toward Pekin
tomorrow" Allowing for the time oc-
cupied in the transmission of the dis
patch by boat from Taku to Che Foo,
it is probable that if the report was
true, the advance begun Tuesday and
the armies are already on the way to
Pekin. That they should start without
waiting for Chaffees force, small
though it is, is surprising.
The state department has nothing
from China and Minister WI, who
called at the state department in search
of information, was also without cable
adyices

points of vantage, draped in black and

brought to Rome and laid to rest in the
Pantheon.

A few newspapers publish short trib'
utes to the noble qualities OF King
Humbert. declaring that it is due to his
love for the working classes that he has
fallen victim of assassination. The
papers add few words of sympathy
and respect for the new king.
The Giorono states that If the alb.
sence of the new king is prolonged be-
yond 4S hours a brief regency will be
established in accordance with the con-
stitutiOn.
The excitement and emotion here
consequent upon the assassination OF

snatch newspapers from the vendors
and eagerly peruse them in the streets,
