Chinese Capital.
10000 MEN AVAILABLE

VIII Make a Direct Advance on the
Imperial City-Wln Establish an Adj
vance Base and Assemble Supplies
80 Miles From Tien Manifestations
of the Chinese Troops Unknown.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 1.-The allies have
begun the advance from Tien Tsin. 1t
is assumed that the American, British
and Japanese are taking part in this for
ward movement, whether other nation
alities or not. An advance base will
probably be established 20 or 80 miles
nearer Peking and supplies will be as
sembled preparatory to a direct stroke
at the capital.
OF the $4,000 allies debarked at Pc
Chi Ii ports, English military observ-
ers consider that 1000 are available for
an advance beyond Tien Tsin. The
Chinese forces, according to the vague
gatherings of the allies intelligence Off
GERS, up to July 81, were disposed in q
great arc 80 miles long and distant 10 or
Is miles. The numbers and exact loca-
ton Of the several divisions are utterly
unknown.
The Pei Ho river is blockaded by
sunken stone laden junks for 20
miles beyond Tien Tsin, and further up.
according to Chinese spies Of the allies,
dam has been constructed for the pur-
pose of flooding the low lying expanse of
country
First Probable Engagement.
The first engagement of the relief ex-
petition will probably be at Pei Tang,
where the viceroy of Yulu personally
commands.
The following information was
brought to Tien Tsin Wednesday, July
| 25, by a Chinese missionary student who
was sent to the British legation at Pc
king. He was unable to deliver the
message entrusted to him and left Pc
king July - He saw few troops be-
tween Peking and Yang Tsun. No
works had been constructed. Food III
Picking was scarce and the city would be
quite unable to endure a siege.
Among the scraps of information
brought by another courier who left Pc
king July Ia was the fact that General
Ma, notable Boxer chief, had been
killed by the legationers.

REPORT THAT a BIG DEAL. IS ON
FOOT.
The Newport News Evening Tele-
gram of yesterday says
Negotiations are now being con
Quoted looking to the consolidation OF
n number of steamship lines engaged in
the transatlantic freight trade.
1T is stated that the banking house
OF Alexander Brown e Sons. of Balti-
more. which ioated the bonds OF the
Newport News and Old Point Railway
and Electric Company and the Citizens
Railway. Light and Power Company.
OF this city. and which is also inter
ested financially in the Atlantic Trans
port Line, is handling the new deal.
"It Is understood to be the purpose OF
the promoters OF this scheme to absorb
American as we'll as English shipping
lines. 1t Is not known just what lines
the promoters have their eyes on. but
II is probable that efforts will be made
to secure control of the American Line,
the Red Star Line Furness. Witty &
Co. the United States Shipping Com
pany and the various lines which are
practically controlled by these four.
The Atlantic Transport Line, of course,
will be a factor in the new deal
Some months ago this line tried to
eject consolidation of steamship lines
crossing the Atlantic, ana ii was given
out that the Leyland Line had been
purchased by it. An agreement could
not be reached, and since that time the
Ieylanl Line has been purchased out
right 10y Furncss, Witty u Co. who
operate largely from Newpor, News.
AZ is not believed that Furness
Witty Il Co. will be interested in the
consolidation scheme. as this line has
repeatedly declined to enter similar
combinations Its business is of such
proportions and value that It has no
reason for joining in with other com
pnnes in q deal such as that now pro-
posed
Neither is 1t probable that the
United States Shipping Company which
IL doing an immense and profitable
business on its own responsibility. viii
consider a proposition coming from AL

FAT AND LEAN

That is, babies: fat, they are
happy and safe; lean, they arc
neither happy nor safe.
Apart from being entirely
healthy or not quite well, a fat
one has much reserve of vital
strength to resist any sudden
attack, while the lean one has
title or no reserve.
The way to be fat and well
IS SCOTS emulsion of cod-livel
oil. A little: only a little.

alone"
