London, August 3.-The forward move
rlent for the relief of the foreign lega-
tions in Pekin began Sunday, July 20. A
message from Ten Tsin on that date says
the advance guard of the Russians oc-
cupying the right flank and the Japanese
pushed to the river without opposition.
The expectation is that the whole allied
expedition force, 1000 men, would be
on the march by Tuesday, July 81. Six
teen hundred Americans and 1900 British
are cooperating. 1t is proposed to follow
the river, using boats to carry food, ann

Pending the order to advance for the re- |
lief of the legationers at Pekin, the j
events at the Chinese capital are seem
lngly but slightly regarded. High officers
are entertaining nightly at elaborate dim
ners with military bands playing oper-
attic airs Foreign residents and friends
of the besieged in Pelkin who came to
Tien Tsin to await news or to accom-
pany the expedition are intensely dissat-
isfied with the progress of operations.
They accuse the army of indifference and
of magnifying the difficulties to be en-
ccuntered in reaching Pekin. President
Tenny of the Tien Tsin university, who
kin, said to-day: "This business is not
progressing in accordance with Anglo
Saxon traditions. Twenty thousand SOL
diers are staying here while women and
children of their own race are starving
and awaiting massacre eighty miles

be a dark blot on the reputation of every
commanding officer here If the white
people in Pekin are allowed to perish

President Tenny and others who are
acquainted with the conditions think
there We're sufficient troops here to push
forward and pursue the Chinese after the
fall of the native city of Tien Tsin. That
