ANOTHER BRIGADE TO GO.
England Cancels an Order Holding Back the
Fourth Indian Brigade.
(By the Associated Press

London, Sept. 6.-(Thursday 4 a. MI
The situation in Pekin was unchanged on
August Doth. An order holding back the
Fourth Indian brigade was cancelled and
is regarded as important. 1t shows that.
whatever the outcome of the Russian
policy, the British Government is determ
ined to have sufficient troops on the spot
adequately to protect British interests.
Considerable significance is attached to
a statement by the Journal de st. Pc
tersburg, the organ of the Russian For
eign Office, which while announcing Rus
sia's determination to maintain the solid
arity of the powers, only mentions the
withdrawal OF the Ministers, and not
of the troops to Tien Tsin 1t is believed
that the powers might agree to such a
modification of the original Russian pro-
posal. The Vienna correspondent of the
Times, discussing the situation declares
that Japan has strong disposition to
act in harmony with the United States
in the Chinese question.
A Shanghai dispatch announces that
German troops will land there today
(Thursday) Curiously enough, they will
be located in barracks adjoining the resi-
dence of Ii Hung Chang
United States Consul GOOdnOW accord
ing to the Daily News, says there never
was any necessity for landing troops at
Shanghai.
DISTRUSTS Ii HUNG CHANG.
New York, Sept. 5.-The Protestant
Episcopal Missionary Society has received
cable dispatch from Bishop Frederick
r. Graves. the Bishop of Shanghai, anC
the lower Yang Use Valley, in which hi
expresses some fear for the missionary
interests of the foreign troops should be
withdrawn and also expresses decided dis
trust of Ii Hung Chang.
EXPERIMENTING THE BOXERS.
Taku, Sept SIT is reliably asserted
that native soldiers, acting under The
orders of Ii Hung Chang are exterminat-
ing the Boxers in the provinces of HI
Nan, and Chi Ii.
Four prominent Boxers were executed
in Tien Tsin today. The French shot
two and the Japanese beheaded the others
The executions have had a good moral
effect.

The bar is established IN the town
Of Franklin, Southampton county,

Debauchery of Money" Until Han

If the Supreme court decides
against the Republican contention
that Porto Rico is part of the Unit
ed States aud not territory owned by
the United States and; as such, sub
ject to any laws Codgress sees fit to
inflict on it, their decision may have
the effect of necessitating giving up
the Philippines, with regard to
which the same decision will hold
good. This country is bound 70 the
open door in the Philippines, mean
ing that the products of all nations
can go into those islands on the
same basis as American products go
there If, then, the Court decides
that tariff cannot be levied against
Porto Rico or Philippine products, it
would break down the American tar
if wall against the world, for they
could send goods into this country
