NO AMERICAN TROOPS.
This Country VIII Not Aid In Dis
memberment of China,

Washington, June 10.-The pressure
brought by churchmcn upon the admin
istration for more decisive action in Chi
ma not only continues, but increases in
vigor and insistcnce. The state depart
lnent is fairly inundated with kilograms
and letters. They do not come from
individuals either, but from organized
bodies and representatives of such bod
les. None of them seems to care whether
or not the United States violates the in
tegrity of China. divides the American
army in the Philippines or does any of
the other things that the government is
striving so strenuously to prevent. All
they want is the full protection of mis-
sionaries and church property at what
ever cost.
"They seem to think" said an official,
f'that the United States can post regi-
ment in front of every missionary in
China"
That there will be clash between
the Boxers and the soldiers of some for
eign power very soon is becoming evil
dent. Minister Conger reported yester-
day morning that the Boxers were con-
tinuing to tear up the Tien-tsinP Peking
railway, while the imperial forces did
nothing, and he declared that in his opin-
aon only the interference of foreign
troops would restore quiet. 1t was sup
posed in some quarters that Minister
Conger meant marines. but at the state
department it is considered more proba-
ble that he meant what he said and that
nothing but force of troops from for
eign army will suffice. The department
is inclined to believe that this will be
the outcome, but it is still firm in its
determination that the troops shall be
European troops.
"We will not" said an official, "begin
an invasion of China. That is what the
sending of a part of the Philippine army
would amount to, and it will not be done
nnder any circumstances"

A RUSSIAN TROOPS LANDED. -
That Government Resolved to Re-
press Rising With Military Force.

London, June 10.-The situation in
China appears distinctly graver., The de-
struction of a Russian chapel at Tung-
tingan has provided Russia with the de-
sired preteXt to land more troops.
The dispatch from st. Petersburg say
ing that the government is resolved, if
the dangerous situation in China contin-
ues, to take immediate military action to
repress the antiforeign movement, at the
same time declaring that it has no inten-
ton of disassOciating itself from the Joint
action of the powers, may be regarded as
n semiofficial utterance, meaning that if
there is any hesitancy on the part of the
powers Russia will act alone.
All reports agree that the Boxer move
ment is spreading. The report is confirm
ed that the French agents at Mong-tse
and Yun-nan-fu have been compelled to
retire. and this shows that the ferment
has reached southwestern China and has
provoked France into taking active steps.

that the British government will utilize

A PROBABLE MURDER,
Man Found In Water Near New York
Said to Have Met Foul Play.

New York, June 10.-County Physician
Converse of Hoboken, after making an
examination of the body of a man found
off West New York three days ago, stated
that the man met with foul play. DIR.
Converse and the Hoboken officials are
now making thorough investigation of
the case.
The body when found was fairly loaded
down with iron. Suspended from a leath-
er belt which encircled the waist were
two fatirons, two iron rulers and satch-
ell which contained two paving blocks.
One arm was missing, and the other was
minus a hand.
In the mans clothes was found water
soaked envelope addressed to "Charles
E, 1922 Wilton avenue, Chicago"
The contents, however, showed that the
writer resided at 50 Piquette street, De-
troit. This may lead to identification.

Shanghai. June 10.-Thc cdict recently
issued had a concealed meaning which
expert scholars declare was favorable to
the Boxers. The American missionaries

said:

with the rapid increase in every field of en-

Philadelphia, Aug. GA duel be-
tween young man and his wife Sat-
urday night ended forever tale of
conjugal misery. Shots were heard on
the premises of Arthur Sinclair at
Duffryn Mawr. Then there was q
scream, and listening passers-by heard
no more. Several men who were
neighbors went into the garden of the
Sinclair premises. In the pathway lay
the body of Sinclair, across that of his
wife. Both were dead. In the hand
of each was pistol.
1t had evidently been a duel be.
tween man and wife. So far as any
OF the neighbors knew, Sinclair and
his wife had been on the best of terms.
Mrs. Sinclair used to wait for her
husband at the gate every evening
and welcome him affectionately. Fri
day, however, there was a quarrel.
but no one knows how it came about.
The housekeeper at the Sinclair home
says she, saw Mrs. Sinclair handling a
revo Diver. When asked what she was
going to do with it she said she was
going to use it.; that she was not 90
ing to put up with any more foolish
ness. Further than this the affair is a
complete mystery.
The police authorities made every
effort to unravel the mystery. There
are three theories as to how the
tragedy occurred. One, that thew

that both fired at the other in a duel,

Five Are Arrested.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Anarchists were
excluded from the West Twelfth Street
Turner hall Sunday afternoon, where
they intended to hold a meeting to re-
joice over the assassination of King
Humbert. The hall was kept closed
by direction of the police. and scores
of plain clothes men and uniformed
officers patrolled the vicinity. Mem
bers of the organization who found the
doors shut to them were not permitted
to remain in the locality. Mrs. Lucy
Parsons refused to move out of the
shade of an abandoned church across
the way and was carried from the
sidewalk to patrol wagon. She pro-
tested against her arrest and reviled
the officers who had her in charge.
Two of her friends were arested for
persisting in remaining near her. The
formidable array of policemen caused
most of the men and women who had
gathered to hurry away, and the few
who were not rapid of movement were
fastened along by the gruff shouts
and heavy hand of the officers. Five
arrests were made, and the prisoners
sent to the Maxwell street police sta
ton. Any riot or incendiary spe ech
was nipped in the bud by the decisive
action of the police.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. GA Jour
nal special from Salina, Kan, says:
Union Pacific east-bound passenger
train No. 4, which left Denver Satur-
day night, was held up by two men
several miles west of Hugo, COL, &C
miles this side of Denver. The passen.
gers in the Pullman sleepers were
robbed of their money and valuables
obtaining about 500 in cash, gold
watches and jewelry. An old man,
named Fay, resident of California,
who had been visiting in Denver and
was on his way to St. Louis, refused
to surrender his valuables and fired a
shot at one of the robbers, but missed.
Thereupon the robbers fired, one shot
entering Fay's mouth and coming out
at the back of his head, killing him al
most instantly. The robbers stopped
the train, jumped off and escaped.
Charles '. Fyke, a Kansas City law
yer, was among those robbed. Mr..
Fyke gives graphic description of
the murder of Mr.. Fay. He said:
Near Limon two men were discovered
on the platform of the rear Pullman. The
Pullman conductor, D. B. Smith, mistook
them for tramps, and ordered them to en-
ter the car. Go to the smoking car he
said and at the next stop leave the train.
They entered the car and at once drew re-
volvers, both flashing weapons in the con-
ductor's face. One handed him a flour
sack. Hold it with both hands, said he and
wake up the passengers Then they began
a systematic search of the car. 1t was in
semidarkness, and all the passengers had
retired several hours before. One robber
guarded the conductor, while the other
extorted money and valuables from the
dazed passengers at the point of the re-
yolver: All of the passengers in the rear
PULLMAN were soon plundered, and then
the bandits entered the forward Pullman,
where was. An aged man, A. ]. Fay, dis
covered what was taking place before any
one else In the car. He partially emerged
from his berth and presented a revolver
through the folds of the curtain. The

opened fire at the same time Fay fired, and
II Is believed the bullet struck one of the
men. but of that no one is sure Fay fell
IKE a log, and was dead before his body
touched the berth. The bullet had entered

nead. His blood and brains were scattered
over the bed coverings"
