c4oSe OF the day he said that thus far
ne had issued no orders for reinforce
ments. Continuing, he said that the reei-
ments already stated for Chinese service

retary Root said that, in view OF the
small standing army of the United States,
OF our insignificant force of field artillery
as compared with that of the great Euro
pean powers, and of our lack of terri
torlaI interest in China, this 10000 men
represented more than the United States
pro rata share of the internationl force
which is to operate against PekinR. The
war department he said, so far has re-
| sponded IN full to every demand made
upon 1T by the joint conference OF foreign
commanders in China
MORE MAY BE NEEDED.
The situation has changed so rapidly
from day to day as to alter the estimate
OF the foreign commanders several times
1t Is possible that the estimate of troops
needed for Chinese service will be again
increased. II so, the United States will
respond. By securing this country and
uenudlnS 1t of all regular troops except
very few in the heavy artillery In
charge of valuable seacoast guns. and bv
making still further demands upon AOrces
In Cuba and Porto Rico, we might pos
s1bly gather between 5000 and 1000 sd-
dluonal troops. This, however, would be-
the limit. unless the war department dis
regarded recommendation of Gen Mac
Arthur and drew still farther on tbe
available troops in the Philippines. This.
however, was future contingency which
would not have to be met until 1t arose.
Secretary Root expressed the hope that
the first reports of the disastrous bat
tie Of Tien Tsin might prove to be ex-
aggerated, but the war department, It
was stated, had no official news beyond
that transmitted in Admiral Remey's

tary Root during the afternoon to coun-

World Startled and Shocked by the Awful
Crimes Committed by the Chinese
Fanatics at Peking

LONDON, July II, 3:53 a. MP to
this hour no further news has been re-
Ceived regarding the reported massacre
at Pel1ing from any source. In the mouse
of commons, last evening, beyond an a1-
mission that there was no ground for
hoping that the report was not true,
William St. John Broderick, parlia-
mentary secretary to the foreign Office,
had nothing to communicate. An un-
usual hush fell upon the chamber when
the subject came up. a few members
doffed their hats, but otherwise there
was no demonstration.
No question was put to Lord Salisbury
IN tie house of lords, probably by
precOncerted arrangement, it being con-
sldered that at the present stage of af-
fairs it would be only embarrassing to
force the premier to make statement.
1t was whispered on the ministerial side
OF the commons that the next vote on
account of military undertakings in
South Africa and China would be start
ling in amount kilograms from Shang-
hal and Che Foo indicate an increasing
serious state of affairs. 1t is alleged
that the foreign consuls at Shanghai
have cabled their governments that there
is urgent need of warships to protect
that port, owing to the menacing attitude
Of the Chinese and the temptation TO loot
the vast stores of merchandise recently
accumulated there. 1t seems that the
Chinese have already threatened to fire
the great oil tank on the Pao Tung side
Of the city.

committee of Tammany Hall met in the

ing, and took action relative to indorsing

The general committee of $500 members
will meet July %, when RESOLUTIONS will be
adopted and the ticket ratified.
Mr.. Croker, speaking at the meeting to-
night advised all Speakers in this cam
paign to show the interests of the young
men as opposed to the administration of
Mckinley. Eighty per cent of the people
of the country, he said, were governed
by 20 per cent. He pointed out that the
chances of the young man for advance
ment in life were becoming less and less,
and that a continuation of the policy of
the Republican party would cut off all
chances and make things hopeless for the
young men of the country. He said it
was the duty Of the Democracy to point
out the real interest of young men.
