WASHINGTON, July 9.-An allied
force Of nearly 100000 men will be in
China within few weeks.
The figures are larger than given
heretofore, but are based on better In
formation which has just reached here
The allies at Taku and at Tien Tsin now
number 1000 men, The reinforcements
under orders consist of $4,000 japanese
troops, $1,000 Germans, 5000 Russians,
II 900 Americans, 10000 British, 5000
French and 5000 Italians.
It is learned that the several govern
ments desiring an expression as to the
number of men required to establish or
der in China, recently asked the adj
ulrals at Ta&u to make an estimate.
The admirals consulted together and the
highest estimate seems to have been
made BY the japanese officer, who placed
the number nt between 10000 and 10O,.
900. The estimates of the British, Rus
sian and German officers were smaller.
AS to that made by Admiral Kempf,
the authorities decline to speak. But
there is reason to believe that it was
slightly less than the lowest figure OF
the japanese commander. 1t may be
that it is Admiral Kempff's statement
that has caused the officials to hesitate
to urge the dispatch Of troops to Taku
until the arrival Of the japanese division
and the Ninth infantry, which will
bring the fighting strength of the allies
to about $4,000. Upon the arrival Of the
japanese division at Taku the question
Of the officer who will be placed in su'
preme command will naturally arise.
The japanese corpse will be commanded
by Japanese general, and so far as
known here, he will be the ranking off,
Ger.
Russia may not wish to permit Japan
to have the preponderating forces and
the commander also. and may send an
officer with the rank of general to com
mand her forces. He will, Of course,
rank with the Japanese officer. So faE
as this government is concerned 1t is
willing to have any efficient officer in
command, be he Russian or japanese.

relieve Peking is prompt.

YOKOHAMA, July 9.-The government
has decided to dispatch $4,000 men and
5000 horses to China.
The newspapers in indorsing this
action point out that should the foreign
ers at Peking perish, Japan could not be
absolved from blame.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Though fear
ful Of giving false encouragement, the
state department officials are bound to
ADMIT that there is more reason now for
hope respecting the welfare Of the lega-
tioners at Peking. Minister Wu's ca
blegram from Cheng. taken in connec-
ton with the report of Admiral Bruce
from Tien Tsin, has done much to en-
courage this hopeful feeling.
Minister WI says Prince Cheng who,
according to Admiral Bruce, is attacking
the Boxers, is not only the head Of the
tsung Ii yamen. but is also commandant
of one of the Peking garrisons. There
are several garrisons in Peking, each
composed Of separate nationality. and
Cheng commands the Manchu force.
At last advices this force comprised
about 10, 900 soldiers.

TWO GAMES WON BY CARROLLs.
South Washington Business Mems
Club Defeated.


Carroll Institute won two out OF three
games from the South Washington Busl-
ness Mems Club Wednesday night. but the
loss of the single game kept them from
making any material gain in percentage In
the league race, SO they are not much
closer to the top than before. The games
were rather well played. and the fact that
the bowling was promptly done and not
painfully drawn out, some Of the other
games on the Business Mems alleys have
been. contributed to the satisfaction of the
Spectators who were numerous.
There was not a bad team score In the
match and as in SO many Of the recent
league games, there was an abundance or
strikes. The local players have their eyes
on the head pins this year. Harlow tailed
to give the Institute much support. but his
falling off was but the lot Of the average
player. it being known mat bad games VIII
occasionally come. Brosnan and Livingston
again played fine games, the other CAROLS
each having one low score. Brown con-
tinued his fine work for the home team and
was well supported by the team. and the
team almost captured the odd game moth
ing but luck giving the decision to the Car
rolls.
The sides played exciting game in the
first event and were neck and neck at every
stage The superior spare work of the Car
rolls saved them from a bad defeat, since
the Business Men played a fine strike game
two Of the team having triple-headers The
winning might easily have been effected by
the south Washington side in the last
frame, victory being within the reach Of
Gerst who was last man to bowl for the
team. He broke, however, when a spare
would have won the game. 1t was one Of
the closest finishes on record. The score
FIRST CAME
