(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 12.-Admiral Remey
today cabled the Navy Department of his
departure from Chinese waters. He
goes on his flagship, the Brooklyn, from
Taku to Che Foo, thence to NagasalSi,
Japan. Although his dispatch does not
announce his movements from that point.
it is the understanding at the Navy De-
partment that he will next go to Cavite.
This move will take the headquarters
of the Asiastic station back to Manila,
leaving the squadron in Chinese waters
without an admiral in command, unless
Admiral Remey should determine to have
Admiral Kempff return there. For the
present, however, there is no such de-
termination.
Admiral Remey's dispatch is as fol-
lows:
Marines embarked on Brooklyn Zafiro
and transport Indiana. Zafiro carries the
cavalry. The Brooklyn goes to Che Foo
and Nagasaki. Indiana sails shortly.
Some sick men sent to hospital at Yoko-
hama. Others be removed soon as possi-

A FAMOUS LIGHTHOUSE.
TiIlamook Rock, mt the Month of oh e
Columbia River.

The most famous lighthouse on the
Pacific coast is that of Tillamook rock,
30 miles south of the mouth of the Co
lumbia river, Oregon. The rock is o.
feet above the sea, yet at the time Mr..
Lord made one of his photographs a
wave was breaking through crevasse
and hurting its spray higher than the
summit. On this day it was too rough
for the COlumbine's boat TO make a
landing. Coal for the station had to be
hOisted in net sings, and the keeper
had to be lowered in cage or basket
and, suspended in midair over the sea,
report on the condition of himself and
his assistants, as they were short Of
provisions, most of the supply having
been destroyed during a storm.
From the side of the rock n heavy sea
at the height of this storm tore off two
pieces averaging 63 pounds and hurled
them upon the roof of the keepers
dwelling. With the weight of the wa
ter these fragments made q hole % feet
in area in the roof. flooded the building
to a depth of over five feet and washed
out two walls. throwing three rooms
into one, an Improvement for which
the keepers were not especially CRATE
full. Pieces of rock punctured the iron
roof in 30 places. Although the focal
plane of the lantern is 1876 feet above
the sea level, IL panes of glass three
feet long and three-eighths of an inch
thick were knocked in by pieces Of
rock which went through the lantern.
and the water put out the light. The
building has now been raised six feet,
and a thick concrete roof has been laid
on heavy steel girders.-ChautauQu

Mr.. Gallup HAD gone down town

EMPRESS GIVES In.
A Story That She WIZ Not Oppose
Presence OF Foreign Powers.

Washington, June 13.-Defnite official
information was received here this af-
ternoon from the foreign Office OF one Of
the most important continental powers,
stating that the Tsung Ii Yamen had
notified the minister Of that power at
Pekin that the Dowager Empress would
not object to the presence of foreign
troops in China's territory. Vague un-
official rumors to this effect had been cur
rent, but the information received here
today was from such a high official
source as to leave no doubt that the En-
press Dowager who practically consti-
tutes the government of China, had made
known thisldetermination not to object
to the presence of the foreign troops.
This change Of front came as distinct
surprise to officials and diplomats, as all
the reports up to this time had pictured
the Empress Dowager as intensely hostile
to the foreigners and as the real spirit
behind the Boxers uprising. This sup
posed attitude Of the Empress gave much
concern to the authorities here and at
other capitals as it was feared it would
eventuate into an open declaration by
the government of China. This would
have raised q new complication, placing
the foreign forces now advancing on
Pekin in the attitude of resisting the
sovereign authority of China over her
own territory, instead of assisting
China in a suppression Of disorder.
The Empress Dowager's acquiescence
in the plans Of the powers is felt to re-
move a threatened complication, and at
the same time to give evidence that the
Empress Dowager is no lorger yielding
to the anti foreign clamer.
In official Russian quarters the rumors
that the Empress Dowager has sought
a refuge at the Russian legation In Pc
kin are discredited and are resented as a
bit Of inspired intrigue designed to create
the impression that Russian sympathies
are with the anti-foreign element. 1t is
pointed out that Russia's course has been
marked by the utmost reserve, for while
it would have been possible at any time
to land large forces in China, the Russian
force actually landed, has been compare

son that Russia desires to be wholly free

time the two suspects ran the gauntlet

GOODNESS Of Champion was plainly evil
dent. He appeared wholly Indifferent to
his surroundings and once or twice
asked questions Of one OF the officers as
unconcernedly as could be imagined. His
right wrist was secured to Inspector Nc
Causland's left wrist by pair Of hand
cuffs. His face was thin but bronzed by
exposure to the sun while his hands were
as dark or darker than his face. A small
black moustache and dark hair and his
height contributed to establish very
striking verification Of the published
de scriptions Of the supposed murderer,
with which this section of the country
has been flooded. Champions wife looks
short beside her husband. She wore q
dark d ress, light shirt-waist, sailor hat
with dark brown band, and she looked
pale and sallow. OF the two she showed
the more nervousness, although she was
q great deal more collected than q woman
in her position would naturally be ex-
pected to be. There Is no formal charge
against her as yet, but she will be held
until matters are cleared up.
Although Champ ion is wanted by the
local police for his supposed connection
with the brutal assault upon Harold
Poole, the sailor lad, In this city some
two weeks ago, as well as by the Maine
for the West Newfield murder,
no warrant has yet been issued for him
in the former case and as Deputy Chief
Of Police Hanscomb said tonight, it is
possible that none has as yet been issued
against him for the latter crime, although
one may issue ut any time.

crimes can be assured beyond reason
